CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies were not conducted with capmatinib. Capmatinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay and did not cause chromosomal aberrations in an in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Capmatinib was not clastogenic in an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus test in rats.Dedicated fertility studies were not conducted with capmatinib. No effects on male and female reproductive organs occurred in general toxicology studies conducted in rats and monkeys at doses resulting in exposures of up to approximately 3.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Capmatinib is kinase inhibitor that targets MET, including the mutant variant produced by exon 14 skipping. MET exon 14 skipping results in protein with missing regulatory domain that reduces its negative regulation leading to increased downstream MET signaling. Capmatinib inhibited cancer cell growth driven by mutant MET variant lacking exon 14 at clinically achievable concentrations and demonstrated anti-tumor activity in murine tumor xenograft models derived from human lung tumors with either mutation leading to MET exon 14 skipping or MET amplification. Capmatinib inhibited the phosphorylation of MET triggered by binding of hepatocyte growth factor or by MET amplification, as well as MET-mediated phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins and proliferation and survival of MET-dependent cancer cells.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Exposure-ResponseCapmatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response are unknown.Cardiac ElectrophysiologyNo large mean increase in QTc (i.e. 20 ms) was detected following treatment with TABRECTA at the recommended dosage of 400 mg orally twice daily.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Capmatinib exposure (AUC0-12h and Cmax) increased approximately proportionally over dose range of 200 mg (0.5 times the recommended dosage) to 400 mg. Capmatinib reached steady-state by day following twice daily dosing, with mean (% coefficient of variation [%CV]) accumulation ratio of 1.5 (41%).AbsorptionAfter administration of TABRECTA 400 mg orally in patients with cancer, capmatinib peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) were reached in approximately to hours (Tmax). The absorption of capmatinib after oral administration is estimated to be greater than 70%.Effect of FoodA high-fat meal (containing approximately 1000 calories and 50% fat) in healthy subjects increased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 46% with no change in Cmax compared to under fasted conditions. low-fat meal (containing approximately 300 calories and 20% fat) in healthy subjects had no clinically meaningful effect on capmatinib exposure. When capmatinib was administered at 400 mg orally twice daily in cancer patients, exposure (AUC0-12h) was similar after administration of capmatinib with food and under fasted conditions.DistributionCapmatinib plasma protein binding is 96%, independent of capmatinib concentration. The apparent mean volume of distribution at steady-state is 164 L.The blood-to-plasma ratio was 1.5, but decreased at higher concentrations to 0.9.EliminationThe effective elimination half-life of capmatinib is 6.5 hours. The mean (%CV) steady-state apparent clearance of capmatinib is 24 L/hr (82%).MetabolismCapmatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and aldehyde oxidase.ExcretionFollowing single oral administration of radiolabeled-capmatinib to healthy subjects, 78% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces with 42% as unchanged and 22% was recovered in urine with negligible as unchanged.Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant effects on the pharmacokinetic parameters of capmatinib were identified for the following covariates assessed: age (26 to 90 years), sex, race (White, Asian, Native American, Black, unknown), body weight (35 to 131 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (baseline CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault) and mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification). The effect of severe renal impairment (baseline CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min) on capmatinib pharmacokinetics has not been studied.Drug Interaction StudiesClinical Studies and Model-Informed ApproachesStrong CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration with itraconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 42% with no change in capmatinib Cmax.Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration with rifampicin (a strong CYP3A inducer) decreased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 67% and decreased Cmax by 56%.Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration with efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A inducer) was predicted to decrease capmatinib AUC0-12h by 44% and decrease Cmax by 34%.Proton Pump Inhibitors: Coadministration with rabeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) decreased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 25% and decreased Cmax by 38%.Substrates of CYP Enzymes: Coadministration of capmatinib increased caffeine (a CYP1A2 substrate) AUC0-INF by 134% with no change in its Cmax. Coadministration of capmatinib had no clinically meaningful effect on exposure of midazolam (a CYP3A substrate).P-gp Substrates: Coadministration of capmatinib increased digoxin (a P-gp substrate) AUC0-INF by 47% and increased Cmax by 74%.BCRP Substrates: Coadministration of capmatinib increased rosuvastatin (a BCRP substrate) AUC0-INF by 108% and increased Cmax by 204%.In Vitro StudiesTransporter Systems: Capmatinib is substrate of P-gp, but not substrate of BCRP or MRP2. Capmatinib reversibly inhibits MATE1 and MATE2K, but does not inhibit OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, OAT1, OAT3, or MRP2.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In rats, capmatinib administration resulted in vacuolation of white matter of the brain in both 4- and 13-week studies at doses >= 2.2 times the human exposure (AUC) at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose. In some cases, the brain lesions were associated with early death and/or convulsions or tremors. Concentrations of capmatinib in the brain tissue of rats was approximately 9% of the corresponding concentrations in plasma.In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that capmatinib has some potential for photosensitization; however, the no-observed-adverse-effect level for in vivo photosensitization was 30 mg/kg/day (Cmax of 14000 ng/mL), about 2.9 times the human Cmax at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose.

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.5 Geriatric Use. In GEOMETRY mono-1, 57% of the 334 patients were 65 years or older and 16% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in the safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. Metastatic NSCLC with Mutation that Leads to MET Exon 14 SkippingThe efficacy of TABRECTA was evaluated in GEOMETRY mono-1, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort study (NCT02414139). Eligible patients were required to have NSCLC with mutation that leads to MET exon 14 skipping, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) negative status, and at least one measurable lesion as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Patients with symptomatic CNS metastases, clinically significant uncontrolled cardiac disease, or who received treatment with any MET or hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) inhibitor were not eligible for the study.Out of the 97 patients enrolled in GEOMETRY mono-1 following the central confirmation of MET exon 14 skipping by RNA-based clinical trial assay, 78 patient samples were retested with the FDA-approved FoundationOne(R) CDx (22 treatment-naive and 56 previously treated patients) to detect mutations that lead to MET exon 14 skipping. Out of 78 samples retested with FoundationOne(R) CDx, 73 samples were evaluable (20 treatment-naive and 53 previously treated patients), 72 (20 treatment-naive and 52 previously treated patients) of which were confirmed to have mutation that leads to MET exon 14 skipping, demonstrating an estimated positive percentage agreement of 99% (72/73) between the clinical trial assay and the FDA-approved assay.Patients received TABRECTA 400 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) as determined by Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) according to RECIST 1.1. An additional efficacy outcome measure was duration of response (DOR) by BIRC.The efficacy population included 28 treatment-naive patients and 69 previously treated patients. The median age was 71 years (range: 49 to 90 years); 60% female; 75% White; 24% had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) and 75% had ECOG PS 1; 60% never smoked; 80% had adenocarcinoma; and 12% had CNS metastases. Amongst previously treated patients, 88% received prior platinum-based chemotherapy.Efficacy results are presented in Table 5.Table 5: Efficacy Results in GEOMETRY mono-1Abbreviations: CI Confidence Interval aBlinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) review. bConfirmed response. cClopper and Pearson exact binomial 95% CI. dBased on Kaplan-Meier estimate.Efficacy ParametersTreatment-NaiveN 28Previously TreatedN 69Overall Response Ratea,b (95% CI)c 68% (48, 84)41% (29, 53) Complete Response4%0 Partial Response64%41%Duration of Response (DOR)a Median (months) (95% CI)d 12.6 (5.5, 25.3)9.7 (5.5, 13.0) Patients with DOR >= 12 months47%32%.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of capmatinib or its metabolites in either human or animal milk or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TABRECTA and for week after the last dose.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Capmatinib is kinase inhibitor that targets MET, including the mutant variant produced by exon 14 skipping. MET exon 14 skipping results in protein with missing regulatory domain that reduces its negative regulation leading to increased downstream MET signaling. Capmatinib inhibited cancer cell growth driven by mutant MET variant lacking exon 14 at clinically achievable concentrations and demonstrated anti-tumor activity in murine tumor xenograft models derived from human lung tumors with either mutation leading to MET exon 14 skipping or MET amplification. Capmatinib inhibited the phosphorylation of MET triggered by binding of hepatocyte growth factor or by MET amplification, as well as MET-mediated phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins and proliferation and survival of MET-dependent cancer cells.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenicity studies were not conducted with capmatinib. Capmatinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay and did not cause chromosomal aberrations in an in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Capmatinib was not clastogenic in an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus test in rats.Dedicated fertility studies were not conducted with capmatinib. No effects on male and female reproductive organs occurred in general toxicology studies conducted in rats and monkeys at doses resulting in exposures of up to approximately 3.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose.. 13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In rats, capmatinib administration resulted in vacuolation of white matter of the brain in both 4- and 13-week studies at doses >= 2.2 times the human exposure (AUC) at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose. In some cases, the brain lesions were associated with early death and/or convulsions or tremors. Concentrations of capmatinib in the brain tissue of rats was approximately 9% of the corresponding concentrations in plasma.In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that capmatinib has some potential for photosensitization; however, the no-observed-adverse-effect level for in vivo photosensitization was 30 mg/kg/day (Cmax of 14000 ng/mL), about 2.9 times the human Cmax at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Exposure-ResponseCapmatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response are unknown.Cardiac ElectrophysiologyNo large mean increase in QTc (i.e. 20 ms) was detected following treatment with TABRECTA at the recommended dosage of 400 mg orally twice daily.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Capmatinib exposure (AUC0-12h and Cmax) increased approximately proportionally over dose range of 200 mg (0.5 times the recommended dosage) to 400 mg. Capmatinib reached steady-state by day following twice daily dosing, with mean (% coefficient of variation [%CV]) accumulation ratio of 1.5 (41%).AbsorptionAfter administration of TABRECTA 400 mg orally in patients with cancer, capmatinib peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) were reached in approximately to hours (Tmax). The absorption of capmatinib after oral administration is estimated to be greater than 70%.Effect of FoodA high-fat meal (containing approximately 1000 calories and 50% fat) in healthy subjects increased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 46% with no change in Cmax compared to under fasted conditions. low-fat meal (containing approximately 300 calories and 20% fat) in healthy subjects had no clinically meaningful effect on capmatinib exposure. When capmatinib was administered at 400 mg orally twice daily in cancer patients, exposure (AUC0-12h) was similar after administration of capmatinib with food and under fasted conditions.DistributionCapmatinib plasma protein binding is 96%, independent of capmatinib concentration. The apparent mean volume of distribution at steady-state is 164 L.The blood-to-plasma ratio was 1.5, but decreased at higher concentrations to 0.9.EliminationThe effective elimination half-life of capmatinib is 6.5 hours. The mean (%CV) steady-state apparent clearance of capmatinib is 24 L/hr (82%).MetabolismCapmatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and aldehyde oxidase.ExcretionFollowing single oral administration of radiolabeled-capmatinib to healthy subjects, 78% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces with 42% as unchanged and 22% was recovered in urine with negligible as unchanged.Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant effects on the pharmacokinetic parameters of capmatinib were identified for the following covariates assessed: age (26 to 90 years), sex, race (White, Asian, Native American, Black, unknown), body weight (35 to 131 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (baseline CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault) and mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification). The effect of severe renal impairment (baseline CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min) on capmatinib pharmacokinetics has not been studied.Drug Interaction StudiesClinical Studies and Model-Informed ApproachesStrong CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration with itraconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 42% with no change in capmatinib Cmax.Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration with rifampicin (a strong CYP3A inducer) decreased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 67% and decreased Cmax by 56%.Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration with efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A inducer) was predicted to decrease capmatinib AUC0-12h by 44% and decrease Cmax by 34%.Proton Pump Inhibitors: Coadministration with rabeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) decreased capmatinib AUC0-INF by 25% and decreased Cmax by 38%.Substrates of CYP Enzymes: Coadministration of capmatinib increased caffeine (a CYP1A2 substrate) AUC0-INF by 134% with no change in its Cmax. Coadministration of capmatinib had no clinically meaningful effect on exposure of midazolam (a CYP3A substrate).P-gp Substrates: Coadministration of capmatinib increased digoxin (a P-gp substrate) AUC0-INF by 47% and increased Cmax by 74%.BCRP Substrates: Coadministration of capmatinib increased rosuvastatin (a BCRP substrate) AUC0-INF by 108% and increased Cmax by 204%.In Vitro StudiesTransporter Systems: Capmatinib is substrate of P-gp, but not substrate of BCRP or MRP2. Capmatinib reversibly inhibits MATE1 and MATE2K, but does not inhibit OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, OAT1, OAT3, or MRP2.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], TABRECTA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no available data on TABRECTA use in pregnant women. Oral administration of capmatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations at maternal exposures less than the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus.In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataIn rats, maternal toxicity (reduced body weight gain and food consumption) occurred at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.4 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose). Fetal effects included reduced fetal weights, irregular/incomplete ossification, and increased incidences of fetal malformations (e.g., abnormal flexure/inward malrotation of hindpaws/forepaws, thinness of forelimbs, lack of/reduced flexion at the humerus/ulna joints, and narrowed or small tongue) at doses of >= 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose).In rabbits, no maternal effects were detected at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.5 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose). Fetal effects included small lung lobe at >= mg/kg/day (approximately 0.016 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose), and reduced fetal weights, irregular/incomplete ossification and increased incidences of fetal malformations (e.g., abnormal flexure/malrotation of hindpaws/forepaws, thinness of forelimbs/hindlimbs, lack of/reduced flexion at the humerus/ulna joints, small lung lobes, narrowed or small tongue) at the dose of 60 mg/kg/day.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue TABRECTA in patients with ILD/pneumonitis. (2.3, 5.1)Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests. Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TABRECTA based on severity. (2.3, 5.2)Risk of Photosensitivity: May cause photosensitivity reactions. Advise patients to limit direct ultraviolet exposure. (5.3)Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to fetus and to use effective contraception. (5.4, 8.1, 8.3). Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue TABRECTA in patients with ILD/pneumonitis. (2.3, 5.1). Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests. Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TABRECTA based on severity. (2.3, 5.2). Risk of Photosensitivity: May cause photosensitivity reactions. Advise patients to limit direct ultraviolet exposure. (5.3). Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to fetus and to use effective contraception. (5.4, 8.1, 8.3). 5.1 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis. ILD/pneumonitis, which can be fatal, occurred in patients treated with TABRECTA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 4.5% of patients treated with TABRECTA in GEOMETRY mono-1, with 1.8% of patients experiencing Grade ILD/pneumonitis and one patient experiencing death (0.3%). Eight patients (2.4%) discontinued TABRECTA due to ILD/pneumonitis. The median time-to-onset of Grade or higher ILD/pneumonitis was 1.4 months (range: 0.2 months to 1.2 years).Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold TABRECTA in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. 5.2 Hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity occurred in patients treated with TABRECTA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 13% of patients treated with TABRECTA in GEOMETRY mono-1. Grade or increased ALT/AST occurred in 6% of patients. Three patients (0.9%) discontinued TABRECTA due to increased ALT/AST. The median time-to-onset of Grade or higher increased ALT/AST was 1.4 months (range: 0.5 to 4.1 months).Monitor liver function tests (including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin) prior to the start of TABRECTA, every weeks during the first months of treatment, then once month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop increased transaminases or bilirubin. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TABRECTA [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].. 5.3 Risk of Photosensitivity. Based on findings from animal studies, there is potential risk of photosensitivity reactions with TABRECTA [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2)]. In GEOMETRY mono-1, it was recommended that patients use precautionary measures against ultraviolet exposure such as use of sunscreen or protective clothing during treatment with TABRECTA. Advise patients to limit direct ultraviolet exposure during treatment with TABRECTA.. 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity. Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TABRECTA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. Oral administration of capmatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations at exposures less than the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the 400 mg twice daily clinical dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TABRECTA and for week after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TABRECTA and for week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
