MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action Lurbinectedin is an alkylating drug that binds guanine residues in the minor groove of DNA, forming adducts and resulting in bending of the DNA helix towards the major groove. Adduct formation triggers cascade of events that can affect the subsequent activity of DNA binding proteins, including some transcription factors, and DNA repair pathways, resulting in perturbation of the cell cycle and eventual cell death. Lurbinectedin inhibited human monocyte activity in vitro and reduced macrophage infiltration in implanted tumors in mice.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity testing of lurbinectedin has not been performed. Lurbinectedin is genotoxic to mammalian cells in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Lurbinectedin was not mutagenic in vitro in bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay.Fertility studies with lurbinectedin were not performed. There were no findings in reproductive organs in general toxicology studies in rats, dogs, or monkeys; however, the highest doses and exposures in these studies were all at levels lower than those at the human dose of 3.2 mg/m2.

Among 554 patients who received ZEPZELCA, including 105 patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in PM1183-B-005-14 (Study B-005), 24% were exposed for months or longer and 5% were exposed for greater than one year. Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)The safety of ZEPZELCA was evaluated in cohort of 105 patients with previously treated SCLC in Study B-005 [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received ZEPZELCA 3.2 mg/m2 intravenously every 21 days. All patients in this study received pre-specified anti-emetic regimen consisting of corticosteroid and serotonin antagonist. Patients could receive G-CSF for secondary prophylaxis (i.e., after patients had an initial decrease in WBC), but not primary prophylaxis. Among patients who received ZEPZELCA, 29% were exposed for months or longer and 6% were exposed for greater than one year. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 34% of patients who received ZEPZELCA. Serious adverse reactions in >= 3% of patients included pneumonia, febrile neutropenia, neutropenia, respiratory tract infection, anemia, dyspnea, and thrombocytopenia. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in two patients (1.9%) who received ZEPZELCA. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation in >= 1% of patients who received ZEPZELCA, which included peripheral neuropathy and myelosuppression.Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 30.5% of patients who received ZEPZELCA. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in >= 3% of patients who received ZEPZELCA included neutropenia, and hypoalbuminemia.Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 25% of patients who received ZEPZELCA. Adverse reactions requiring dosage reductions in >= 3% of patients who received ZEPZELCA included neutropenia, febrile neutropenia and fatigue.The most common adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, (>= 20%) were leukopenia, lymphopenia, fatigue, anemia, neutropenia, increased creatinine, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased glucose, thrombocytopenia, nausea, decreased appetite, musculoskeletal pain, decreased albumin, constipation, dyspnea, decreased sodium, increased aspartate aminotransferase, vomiting, cough, decreased magnesium and diarrhea.Table summarizes the adverse reactions in the SCLC cohort of Study B-005.Table 3: Adverse Reactions (>=10%) in Patients With SCLC Who Received ZEPZELCA in Study B-005Adverse ReactionZEPZELCA(n=105)All Gradesa,b (%)Grades 3-4 (%)General disordersFatigue7712Pyrexia130Chest pain100Gastrointestinal disordersNausea370Constipation310Vomiting220Diarrhea204Abdominal painc 111Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disordersMusculoskeletal paind 334Metabolism and nutrition disordersDecreased appetite331Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disordersDyspnea316Coughe 200Infections and infestationsRespiratory tract infectionf 185Pneumoniag 107Nervous system disordersPeripheral neuropathyh 111Headache101aGraded per NCI CTCAE 4.0.bNo grade adverse reactions were reported.cIncludes abdominal pain, abdominal pain upper and abdominal discomfort.dIncludes musculoskeletal pain, back pain, arthralgia, pain in extremity, musculoskeletal chest pain, neck pain, bone pain and myalgia.eIncludes cough and productive cough.fIncludes upper respiratory tract infection, viral upper respiratory tract infection, respiratory tract infection and bronchitis.gIncludes pneumonia and lung infection.hIncludes neuropathy peripheral, neuralgia, paresthesia, peripheral sensory neuropathy, hypoesthesia, and hyperesthesia.Clinically relevant adverse reactions in 10% of patients who received ZEPZELCA include dysgeusia, febrile neutropenia and pneumonitis.Table summarizes the laboratory abnormalities in Study B-005.Table 4: Select Laboratory Abnormalities (>= 20%) Worsening from Baseline in Patients With SCLC Who Received ZEPZELCA in Study B-005Laboratory AbnormalityZEPZELCAa (n=105)All Gradesb (%)Grades 3-4 (%)HematologyDecreased leukocytes7929Decreased lymphocytes7943Decreased hemoglobin7410Decreased neutrophils7146Decreased platelets377ChemistryIncreased creatinine690Increased alanine aminotransferase664Increased glucose525Decreased albumin321Decreased sodium317Increased aspartate aminotransferase262Decreased magnesium220aThe denominator used to calculate the rate varied from 95 to 105 based on the number of patients with baseline value and at least one post-treatment value.bGraded per NCI CTCAE 4.0.. aGraded per NCI CTCAE 4.0.. bNo grade adverse reactions were reported.. cIncludes abdominal pain, abdominal pain upper and abdominal discomfort.. dIncludes musculoskeletal pain, back pain, arthralgia, pain in extremity, musculoskeletal chest pain, neck pain, bone pain and myalgia.. eIncludes cough and productive cough.. fIncludes upper respiratory tract infection, viral upper respiratory tract infection, respiratory tract infection and bronchitis.. gIncludes pneumonia and lung infection.. hIncludes neuropathy peripheral, neuralgia, paresthesia, peripheral sensory neuropathy, hypoesthesia, and hyperesthesia.. aThe denominator used to calculate the rate varied from 95 to 105 based on the number of patients with baseline value and at least one post-treatment value.. bGraded per NCI CTCAE 4.0.. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of ZEPZELCA.

No accumulation of lurbinectedin in plasma is observed upon repeated administrations every weeks. DistributionThe volume of distribution of lurbinectedin at steady state is 504 (39%). Plasma protein binding is approximately 99%, to both albumin and -1-acid glycoprotein.EliminationThe terminal half-life of lurbinectedin is 51 hours. Total plasma clearance of lurbinectedin is 11 L/h (50%).MetabolismLurbinectedin is metabolized by CYP3A4, in vitro.ExcretionAfter single dose of radiolabeled lurbinectedin administration, 89% of the radioactivity was recovered in feces (< 0.2% unchanged) and 6% in urine (1% unchanged). Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of lurbinectedin were identified based on age (18-85 years), sex, body weight (39-154 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min) or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= ULN and AST ULN, or total bilirubin between 1.0 1.5 ULN and any AST). The effects of severe renal impairment (CLcr 30 mL/min) and moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1.5 ULN and any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of lurbinectedin have not been studied. Drug Interactions StudiesDedicated clinical drug-drug interaction studies with CYP3A modulators have not been conducted with lurbinectedin. In vitro StudiesCytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Lurbinectedin is metabolized by CYP3A4. Lurbinectedin is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4. Lurbinectedin is not an inducer of CYP1A2 or CYP3A4. Transporter Systems: Lurbinectedin is substrate of MDR1, but is not substrate of OATB1P1, OATP1B3, OCT1, or MATE1. Lurbinectedin inhibits MDR1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OCT1 but not BCRP, BSEP, MATE1, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES PM1183-B-005-14 (Study B-005; NCT02454972) is multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort trial evaluating ZEPZELCA as single agent in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. cohort of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy received ZEPZELCA 3.2 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion every 21 days (one cycle). Patients received median of cycles of ZEPZELCA (range to 24 cycles). The trial excluded patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement, grade >=3 dyspnea, daily intermittent oxygen requirement, hepatitis or cirrhosis, and immunocompromised patients. Tumor assessments were conducted every weeks for the first 18 weeks and every weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measure was confirmed investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR). Additional efficacy outcome measures included duration of response (DoR), and an Independent Review Committee (IRC) assessed ORR using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).A total of 105 patients with SCLC who progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy were enrolled. The median age was 60 years (range: 40 to 83) with 65% of patients 65 years and 35% of patients >= 65 years, and 60% were male. The majority (75%) of the patients were White, 1% were Asian, 1% were Black and 23% were not reported. Baseline ECOG performance status was or in 92% of patients, and 92% were former/current smokers. All patients received at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy (range 1-2 lines), and prior radiotherapy had been administered to 71% of patients. Eight patients (8%) had prior immunotherapy in addition to platinum-based chemotherapy. Sixty patients (57%) had platinum-sensitive SCLC, defined as recurrence or progression >= 90 days after the last dose of platinum-containing therapy (chemotherapy free interval [CTFI] >= 90 days). The remaining 45 patients had platinum-resistant SCLC, defined as recurrence or progression 90 days after the last dose of platinum-containing therapy (CTFI 90 days).Table summarizes investigator-assessed and independent review committee assessed key efficacy measures in all patients and in platinum-resistant and platinum-sensitive subgroups.Table 5: Efficacy Results in SCLC Cohort of Study B-005Investigator Assessed Responsea ZEPZELCAAll Patients(n=105)ZEPZELCACTFI <90 days(n=45)ZEPZELCACTFI >=90 days(n=60)Overall Response Rate (95% CI)35% (26%, 45%)22% (11%, 37%)45% (32%, 58%) Complete response0%0%0% Partial response35%22%45%Duration of Response Median in months (95% CI)5.3 (4.1, 6.4)4.7 (2.6, 5.6)6.2 (3.5, 7.3) with >=6 monthsb 35%10%44%Independent Review Committee Assessed Responsea All Patients(n=105)CTFI <90 days(n=45)CTFI >=90 days(n=60)Overall Response Rate (95% CI)30% (22%, 40%)13% (5%, 27%)43% (31%, 57%) Complete response0%0%0% Partial response30%13%43%Duration of Response Median in months (95% CI)5.1 (4.9, 6.4)4.8 (2.4, 5.3)5.3 (4.9, 7.0) with >=6 monthsb 25%0%31% CI: confidence interval, CTFI: chemotherapy free intervalaConfirmed overall response rate.bBased on observed duration of response..

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following the approved recommended dosage, geometric means (%CV) of plasma Cmax and AUC0-inf, were 107 ug/L (79%) and 551 ugoh/L (94%), respectively. No accumulation of lurbinectedin in plasma is observed upon repeated administrations every weeks. DistributionThe volume of distribution of lurbinectedin at steady state is 504 (39%). Plasma protein binding is approximately 99%, to both albumin and -1-acid glycoprotein.EliminationThe terminal half-life of lurbinectedin is 51 hours. Total plasma clearance of lurbinectedin is 11 L/h (50%).MetabolismLurbinectedin is metabolized by CYP3A4, in vitro.ExcretionAfter single dose of radiolabeled lurbinectedin administration, 89% of the radioactivity was recovered in feces (< 0.2% unchanged) and 6% in urine (1% unchanged). Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of lurbinectedin were identified based on age (18-85 years), sex, body weight (39-154 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min) or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= ULN and AST ULN, or total bilirubin between 1.0 1.5 ULN and any AST). The effects of severe renal impairment (CLcr 30 mL/min) and moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1.5 ULN and any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of lurbinectedin have not been studied. Drug Interactions StudiesDedicated clinical drug-drug interaction studies with CYP3A modulators have not been conducted with lurbinectedin. In vitro StudiesCytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Lurbinectedin is metabolized by CYP3A4. Lurbinectedin is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4. Lurbinectedin is not an inducer of CYP1A2 or CYP3A4. Transporter Systems: Lurbinectedin is substrate of MDR1, but is not substrate of OATB1P1, OATP1B3, OCT1, or MATE1. Lurbinectedin inhibits MDR1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OCT1 but not BCRP, BSEP, MATE1, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryBased on animal data and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], ZEPZELCA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no available data to inform the risk of ZEPZELCA use in pregnant women. Intravenous administration of single lurbinectedin dose (approximately 0.2 times the 3.2 mg/m2 clinical dose) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryolethality (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataIn reproductive toxicity study, administration of single lurbinectedin dose of 0.6 mg/m2 (approximately 0.2 times of the human dose of 3.2 mg/m2) to pregnant rats on Gestation Day 10 resulted in 100% post-implantation loss.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryBased on animal data and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], ZEPZELCA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no available data to inform the risk of ZEPZELCA use in pregnant women. Intravenous administration of single lurbinectedin dose (approximately 0.2 times the 3.2 mg/m2 clinical dose) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryolethality (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataIn reproductive toxicity study, administration of single lurbinectedin dose of 0.6 mg/m2 (approximately 0.2 times of the human dose of 3.2 mg/m2) to pregnant rats on Gestation Day 10 resulted in 100% post-implantation loss.. 8.2 Lactation Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of lurbinectedin in human milk or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from ZEPZELCA in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ZEPZELCA and for weeks after the final dose.. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential ZEPZELCA can cause embryolethality at doses lower than the human dose of 3.2 mg/m2 [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].Pregnancy TestingVerify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating ZEPZELCA.ContraceptionFemalesAdvise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ZEPZELCA and for months after the final dose.MalesAdvise males with female sexual partner of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ZEPZELCA and for months after the final dose.. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ZEPZELCA in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 105 patients with SCLC administered ZEPZELCA in clinical studies, 37 (35%) patients were 65 years of age and older, while (9%) patients were 75 years of age and older. No overall difference in effectiveness was observed between patients aged 65 and older and younger patients.There was higher incidence of serious adverse reactions in patients >= 65 years of age than in patients 65 years of age (49% vs. 26%, respectively). The serious adverse reactions most frequently reported in patients >= 65 years of age were related to myelosuppression and consisted of febrile neutropenia (11%), neutropenia (11%), thrombocytopenia (8%), and anemia (8%) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ].. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment The effect of moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1.5 ULN and any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of lurbinectedin has not been studied. No dose adjustment of ZEPZELCA is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= ULN and AST ULN, or total bilirubin 1.0-1.5 ULN and any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS oMyelosuppression: Monitor blood counts prior to each administration. Initiate treatment with ZEPZELCA only if baseline neutrophil count is >=1,500 cells/mm3 and platelet count is >=100,000/mm3. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEPZELCA based on severity. 2.2 5.1 oHepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests prior to initiating ZEPZELCA, periodically during treatment and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEPZELCA based on severity. (2.2, 5.2)oEmbryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females and males of reproductive potential of the potential risk to fetus and to use an effective method of contraception. (5.3). oMyelosuppression: Monitor blood counts prior to each administration. Initiate treatment with ZEPZELCA only if baseline neutrophil count is >=1,500 cells/mm3 and platelet count is >=100,000/mm3. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEPZELCA based on severity. 2.2 5.1 . oHepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests prior to initiating ZEPZELCA, periodically during treatment and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEPZELCA based on severity. (2.2, 5.2). oEmbryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females and males of reproductive potential of the potential risk to fetus and to use an effective method of contraception. (5.3). 5.1 Myelosuppression ZEPZELCA can cause myelosuppression. In clinical studies of 554 patients with advanced solid tumors receiving ZEPZELCA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ], Grade or neutropenia occurred in 41% of patients, with median time to onset of 15 days and median duration of days. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 7% of patients. Sepsis occurred in 2% of patients and was fatal in 1% (all cases occurred in patients with solid tumors other than SCLC). Grade or thrombocytopenia occurred in 10%, with median time to onset of 10 days and median duration of days. Grade or anemia occurred in 17% of patients.Administer ZEPZELCA only to patients with baseline neutrophil count of at least 1,500 cells/mm3 and platelet count of at least 100,000/mm3. Monitor blood counts including neutrophil count and platelet count prior to each administration. For neutrophil count less than 500 cells/mm3 or any value less than lower limit of normal, the use of G-CSF is recommended. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEPZELCA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. 5.2 Hepatotoxicity ZEPZELCA can cause hepatotoxicity.In clinical studies of 554 patients with advanced solid tumors receiving ZEPZELCA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ], Grade elevations of ALT and AST were observed in 6% and 3% of patients, respectively, and Grade elevations of ALT and AST were observed in 0.4% and 0.5% of patients, respectively. The median time to onset of Grade >=3 elevation in transaminases was days (range: to 49), with median duration of days.Monitor liver function tests, prior to initiating ZEPZELCA, periodically during treatment, and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEPZELCA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. 5.3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on animal data and its mechanism of action ZEPZELCA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. Intravenous administration of single dose of lurbinectedin (approximately 0.2 times the 3.2 mg/m2 clinical dose) to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis caused 100% embryolethality in rats. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ZEPZELCA and for months after the final dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ZEPZELCA and for months after the final dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
