12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Selpercatinib is kinase inhibitor. Selpercatinib inhibited wild-type RET and multiple mutated RET isoforms as well as VEGFR1 and VEGFR3 with IC50 values ranging from 0.92 nM to 67.8 nM. In other enzyme assays, selpercatinib also inhibited FGFR 1, 2, and at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable. In cellular assays, selpercatinib inhibited RET at approximately 60-fold lower concentrations than FGFR1 and and approximately 8-fold lower concentration than VEGFR3.Certain point mutations in RET or chromosomal rearrangements involving in-frame fusions of RET with various partners can result in constitutively activated chimeric RET fusion proteins that can act as oncogenic drivers by promoting cell proliferation of tumor cell lines. In in vitro and in vivo tumor models, selpercatinib demonstrated anti-tumor activity in cells harboring constitutive activation of RET proteins resulting from gene fusions and mutations, including CCDC6-RET, KIF5B-RET, RET V804M, and RET M918T. In addition, selpercatinib showed anti-tumor activity in mice intracranially implanted with patient-derived RET fusion positive tumor.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Exposure-Response RelationshipSelpercatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response have not been fully characterized.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyThe effect of RETEVMO on the QTc interval was evaluated in thorough QT study in healthy subjects. The largest mean increase in QTc is predicted to be 10.6 msec (upper 90% confidence interval: 12.1 msec) at the mean steady-state maximum concentration (Cmax) observed in patients after administration of 160 mg twice daily. The increase in QTc was concentration-dependent.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib capsules were evaluated in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors administered 160 mg twice daily unless otherwise specified. The capsule and tablet dosage forms of selpercatinib are bioequivalent. Steady state selpercatinib AUC and Cmax increased in slightly greater than dose proportional manner over the dose range of 20 mg once daily to 240 mg twice daily [0.06 to 1.5 times the maximum recommended total daily dosage].Steady-state was reached by approximately days and the median accumulation ratio after administration of 160 mg twice daily was 3.4-fold. Mean steady-state selpercatinib [coefficient of variation (CV%)] Cmax was 2,980 (53%) ng/mL and AUC0-24h was 51,600 (58%) ngh/mL.. AbsorptionThe median tmax of selpercatinib is hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of RETEVMO capsules is 73% (60% to 82%) in healthy subjects.. Effect of FoodFor both the capsule and tablet dosage forms no clinically significant differences in selpercatinib AUC or Cmax were observed following administration of high-fat meal (approximately 900 calories, 58 grams carbohydrate, 56 grams fat and 43 grams protein) in healthy subjects.. DistributionThe apparent volume of distribution (Vss/F) of selpercatinib is 203 L.Protein binding of selpercatinib is 96% in vitro and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.7.. EliminationThe apparent clearance (CL/F) of selpercatinib is L/h in patients and the half-life is 32 hours following oral administration of RETEVMO in healthy subjects.. MetabolismSelpercatinib is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4. Following oral administration of single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, unchanged selpercatinib constituted 86% of the radioactive drug components in plasma.. ExcretionFollowing oral administration of single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, 69% of the administered dose was recovered in feces (14% unchanged) and 24% in urine (12% unchanged).. Specific PopulationsThe apparent volume of distribution and clearance of selpercatinib increase with increasing body weight (9.6 kg to 179 kg).No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib were observed based on age (2 years to 92 years), sex, or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (eGFR >=15 to 89 mL/min). The effect of ESRD on selpercatinib pharmacokinetics has not been studied.. Pediatric patientsThe exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients are comparable to those in adult patients administered at the recommended dosages.. Patients with Hepatic ImpairmentThe selpercatinib AUC0-INF increased 1.1-fold in subjects with mild (total bilirubin <= ULN with AST ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 ULN with any AST), 1.3-fold in subjects with moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to x ULN and any AST), and 1.8-fold in subjects with severe (total bilirubin 3 to 10 ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function.. Drug Interaction Studies. Clinical Studies and Model-Informed ApproachesProton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole (PPI) decreased selpercatinib AUC0-INF and Cmax when RETEVMO was administered fasting. Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole did not significantly change the selpercatinib AUC0-INF and Cmax when RETEVMO was administered with food (Table 14).Table 14: Change in Selpercatinib Exposure After Coadministration with PPI1 High-fat meal: approximately 150, 250, and 500-600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively; approximately 800 to 1,000 calories total.2 Low-fat meal: approximately 390 calories and 10 of fat.SelpercatinibAUC0-INFSelpercatinibCmaxRETEVMO fastingReferenceReferenceRETEVMO fasting PPI 69% 88%RETEVMO with high-fat meal1 PPI 2% 49%RETEVMO with low-fat meal2 PPINo change 22%H2 Receptor Antagonists: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with multiple daily doses of ranitidine (H2 receptor antagonist) given 10 hours prior to and hours after the RETEVMO dose (administered fasting).Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased the selpercatinib AUC0-INF 2.3-fold and Cmax 1.3-fold.Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of diltiazem, fluconazole, or verapamil (moderate CYP3A inhibitors) is predicted to increase the selpercatinib AUC 1.6 to 2-fold and Cmax 1.5 to 1.8-fold.Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the selpercatinib AUC0-INF by 87% and Cmax by 70%.Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of bosentan or efavirenz (moderate CYP3A inducers) is predicted to decrease the selpercatinib AUC by 40-70% and Cmax by 34-57%.Weak CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of modafinil (weak CYP3A inducer) is predicted to decrease the selpercatinib AUC by 33% and Cmax by 26%.CYP2C8 Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with repaglinide (sensitive CYP2C8 substrate) increased the repaglinide AUC0-INF 2.9-fold and Cmax 1.9-fold.CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) increased the midazolam AUC0-INF 1.5-fold and Cmax 1.4-fold.P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with dabigatran (P-gp substrate) increased the dabigatran AUC0-INF 1.4-fold and Cmax 1.4-fold.BCRP Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate) increased the rosuvastatin AUC0-INF by 1.9-fold and Cmax by 1.7-fold.P-gp Inhibitors: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with single dose of rifampin (P-gp inhibitor).MATE1 Substrates: No clinically significant differences in glucose levels were observed when metformin (MATE1 substrate) was coadministered with selpercatinib.. In Vitro StudiesCYP Enzymes: Selpercatinib does not inhibit or induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations.Transporter Systems: Selpercatinib inhibits MATE1. Selpercatinib may increase serum creatinine by decreasing renal tubular secretion of creatinine via inhibition of MATE1 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].Selpercatinib does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MATE2-K at clinically relevant concentrations.Selpercatinib is substrate for P-gp and BCRP, but not for OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 RET Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. LIBRETTO-001The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with advanced RET fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled in multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (LIBRETTO-001, NCT03157128). The study enrolled patients with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC who had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy and patients with locally advanced (stage III who were not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation) or metastatic NSCLC without prior systemic therapy in separate cohorts. Identification of RET gene alteration was prospectively determined in local laboratories using next generation sequencing (NGS), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or other local testing methods. Adult patients received RETEVMO 160 mg orally twice daily until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression; patients enrolled in the dose escalation phase were permitted to adjust their dose to 160 mg twice daily. The major efficacy outcome measures were confirmed overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), as determined by blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1.. RETFusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum ChemotherapyEfficacy was evaluated in 247 patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC previously treated with platinum chemotherapy enrolled into cohort of LIBRETTO-001.The median age was 61 years (range: 23 to 81); 57% were female; 44% were White, 48% were Asian, 4.9% were Black or African American; and 2.8% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (97%) or (3%) and 97% of patients had metastatic disease. Patients received median of prior systemic therapies (range 1-15); 58% had prior anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy. RET fusions were detected in 94% of patients using NGS (84.6% tumor samples; 9.3% blood or plasma samples), 4.0% using FISH, 1.6% using PCR and 0.4% by other local testing methods.Efficacy results for previously treated RET fusion-positive NSCLC are summarized in Table 15.Table 15: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-001 (RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum Chemotherapy)1 Confirmed overall response rate assessed by BIRC.2 Based on observed duration of response.NE not estimableRETEVMO(n 247)Overall Response Rate1(95% CI)61% (55%, 67%) Complete response7.3% Partial response54%Duration of Response Median in months (95% CI)28.6 (20, NE) with >= 12 months2 63%For the 144 patients who received an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy, either sequentially or concurrently with platinum-based chemotherapy, an exploratory subgroup analysis of ORR was 63% (95% CI: 54%, 70%) and the median DOR was 28.6 months (95% CI: 14.8, NE).Among the 247 patients with previously treated RET fusion-positive NSCLC, 16 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BIRC. One patient received radiation therapy (RT) to the brain within months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 14 of these 16 patients; 39% of responders had an intracranial DOR of >= 12 months.. Treatment-naiveRETFusion-Positive NSCLCEfficacy was evaluated in 69 patients with treatment-naive RET fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled into cohort of LIBRETTO-001.The median age was 63 years (range 23 to 92); 62% were female; 70% were White, 19% were Asian, and 6% were Black or African American. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (94%) or (6%) and 99% of patients had metastatic disease. RET fusions were detected in 91% of patients using NGS (60.9% tumor samples; 30.4% in blood), 7.2% using FISH and 1.4% using PCR.Efficacy results for treatment naive RET fusion-positive NSCLC are summarized in Table 16.Table 16: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-001 (Treatment-Naive RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC)1 Confirmed overall response rate assessed by BIRC.2 Based on observed duration of response.NE not estimableRETEVMO(n =69)Overall Response Rate1(95% CI)84% (73%, 92%) Complete response5.8% Partial response78%Duration of Response Median in months (95% CI)20.2 (13, NE) with >= 12 months2 50%Among the 69 patients with treatment-naive RET fusion-positive NSCLC, had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BIRC. Two patients received RT to the brain within months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in of these patients; 38% of responders had an intracranial DOR of >= 12 months.. LIBRETTO-431The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, RET fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled in multicenter, open-label, active-controlled, randomized trial (LIBRETTO-431, NCT04194944). The trial evaluated RETEVMO compared to platinum-based and pemetrexed chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab in patients with RET fusion-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with no previous systemic therapy for metastatic disease.Patients (N=261) were randomized to receive either RETEVMO (160 mg orally twice daily) in continuous 21-day cycles or pemetrexed intravenously (IV) (500 mg per square meter of body-surface area) along with the investigators choice of platinum therapy (carboplatin IV [AUC 5, maximum dose 750 mg] or cisplatin IV [75 mg per square meter]) with or without pembrolizumab IV (200 mg) every 21 days. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Crossover from the control arm to RETEVMO was permitted following disease progression. Patients were stratified according to geographic region (East Asia vs. elsewhere), brain metastases at baseline (presence vs. absence or unknown), and the investigators intent (before randomization) to treat the patient with or without pembrolizumab. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks for two assessments, then every weeks for four assessments, and then every 12 weeks thereafter.The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) in patients intended to be treated with chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab and in the overall study population as determined by blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1. Other efficacy outcome measures included overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR).A total of 212 patients were enrolled in LIBRETTO-431 with an intent to treat with pembrolizumab if randomized to the control arm (129 into RETEVMO arm and 83 into chemotherapy with pembrolizumab arm). The median age was 61.5 years (range: 31 to 84 years); 47% were male; 41% White, 55% Asian, and 0.9% Black or African American, 1.4% American Indian or Alaska Native, 1.9% were race not reported; ethnicity was not reported in 96% of patients. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (97%) or (3%), 68% were never smokers, 93% of patients had metastatic disease, and 14% had measurable intracranial metastases at baseline, as determined by neuroradiologic BIRC. RET fusions were detected in 60% of patients using NGS and 40% using PCR (89% tumor samples; 11% in blood).Efficacy results from the pre-planned interim efficacy analysis are summarized in Table 17.Table 17: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-431: RETEVMO versus Chemotherapy with Pembrolizumab1 Based on the stratified Cox proportional hazard model, stratified by geographic location (East Asia versus elsewhere), brain metastases at baseline according to investigator (presence versus absence or unknown).2 Based on stratified log-rank test, stratified by geographic location (East Asia versus elsewhere), brain metastases at baseline according to investigator (presence versus absence or unknown).3 Based on observed duration of response.NE not estimableRETEVMO(n 129)Chemotherapywith pembrolizumab(n 83)Progression-Free Survival Number (%) of patients with an event49 (38%)49 (59%) Medians in months (95% CI)24.8 (16.9, NE)11.2 (8.8, 16.8) Hazard ratio1 (95% CI)0.46 (0.31, 0.70) p-value2 0.0002Overall Response Rate (95% CI)84% (76, 90)65% (54, 75) Complete response7%6% Partial response77%59%Duration of Response Median in months (95% CI) with >= 12 months3 24.2 (17.9, NE)60%11.5 (9.7, 23.3)30%Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier Curves of Progression-Free Survival in LIBRETTO-431: RETEVMO versus Chemotherapy with PembrolizumabAmong the 212 randomized patients, 29 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BIRC. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 14 of 17 patients treated with RETEVMO and of 12 patients treated with chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.Overall survival was immature at the time of the PFS interim analysis. At the time of an updated descriptive analysis of OS (43% of prespecified OS events needed for the final analysis), total of 49 (31%) and 26 (25%) patients died in the RETEVMO and the control arm, respectively. The OS HR was 1.26 (95% CI: 0.78, 2.04). Overall survival may be affected by the imbalance in post-progression therapies. Of 68 control arm patients who had disease progression, 50 patients (74%) received RETEVMO at progression. Of 71 RETEVMO arm patients who had disease progression, 16 (23%) received chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, and 44 (62%) continued receiving RETEVMO.. Figure 1. 14.2 RET-Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer. LIBRETTO-001The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with RET-mutant MTC enrolled in multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (NCT03157128). The study enrolled patients with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant MTC who had been previously treated with cabozantinib or vandetanib (or both) and patients with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant MTC who were naive to cabozantinib and vandetanib in separate cohorts.. RET-Mutant MTC Previously Treated with Cabozantinib or VandetanibEfficacy was evaluated in 55 patients with RET-mutant advanced MTC who had previously treated with cabozantinib or vandetanib enrolled into cohort of LIBRETTO-001.The median age was 57 years (range: 17 to 84); 66% were male; 89% were White, 7% were Hispanic/Latino, and 1.8% were Black. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (95%) or (5%) and 98% of patients had metastatic disease. Patients received median of prior systemic therapies (range - 8). RET mutation status was detected in 82% of patients using NGS (78% tumor samples; 4% blood or plasma), 16% using PCR, and 2% using an unknown test. The protocol excluded patients with synonymous, frameshift or nonsense RET mutations; the specific mutations used to identify and enroll patients are described in Table 18.Table 18: Mutations used to Identify and Enroll Patients with RET-Mutant MTC in LIBRETTO-0011 Somatic or germline mutations; protein change.2 Extracellular cysteine mutations involving cysteine residues 609, 611, 618, 620, 630, and 634.3 Other included: K666N (1), D631L633delinsV (2), D631L633delinsE (5), D378G385delinsE (1), D898E901del (2), A883F (4), E632L633del (4), L790F (2), T636V637insCRT(1), D898E901del D903S904delinsEP (1).4 One patient also had M918T mutation.RET Mutation Type1PreviouslyTreated(n 55)Cabozantinib/VandetanibNaive(n 88)Total(n 143)M918T334982Extracellular cysteine mutation2 72027V804M or V804L54 611Other3 101323Efficacy results for RET-mutant MTC are summarized in Table 19.Table 19: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-001 (RET-Mutant MTC Previously Treated with Cabozantinib or Vandetanib)1 Confirmed overall response rate assessed by BIRC.2 Based on observed duration of response.NE not estimableRETEVMO(n 55)Overall Response Rate1(95% CI)76% (63%, 87%) Complete response18% Partial response58%Duration of Response Median in months (95% CI)45.3 (29.9, NE) with >= 12 months2 76%.

LIBRETTO-531LIBRETTO-531 was randomized (2:1), multicenter, open-label study (NCT04211337) in adults and adolescents with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant MTC. The study evaluated the efficacy of RETEVMO versus physicians choice of cabozantinib or vandetanib in patients with progressive, advanced, kinase inhibitor naive, RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer.Patients were randomized to receive either RETEVMO (160 mg twice daily) or physicians choice of cabozantinib (140 mg once daily) or vandetanib (300 mg once daily). Patients were stratified based on RET mutation (M918T vs. other) and intended treatment if randomized to the control arm (cabozantinib vs. vandetanib). The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS), as determined by blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1.The median age was 55 years (range: 12 to 84), 63% were male, 58% were White, 23% were Asian, 2.4% were Black or African American, and 17% had unknown race. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (98%) or (1.0%) with 0.7% unknown status. 77% of patients had metastatic disease and patients (2.1%) had received prior systemic therapy. RET mutation status was detected in 90% of patients using NGS (89% tumor samples; 8% blood or plasma), and 10% using PCR. Of patients enrolled in LIBRETTO-531, 63% had M918T RET mutations and 37% had other RET mutations.Efficacy results for LIBRETTO-531 based on the preplanned interim efficacy analysis are provided in Table 21 and Figure 2.

Figure 2. LIBRETTO-121The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in pediatric and young adult patients with advanced RET-activated solid tumors enrolled in multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (LIBRETTO-121, NCT03899792). Patients received RETEVMO 92 mg/m2 orally twice daily until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks for one year, then every 12 weeks; responses were assessed according to RECIST 1.1 per BIRC.Efficacy was evaluated in 14 patients with RET-mutant MTC who were non-responsive to available therapies or had no standard systemic curative therapy available. The median age was 14 years (range to 20); 64% were male; 71% were White, 14% were Black or African American; and 14% were Hispanic/Latino. Patients had metastatic (71%) or locally advanced (29%) disease; 43% had measurable disease at baseline; 21% had received prior systemic therapy. RET-mutant status was detected in 79% of patients using NGS tumor samples and in 21% using PCR.Efficacy results for RET-mutant MTC in pediatric and young adult patients are summarized in Table 23.Table 23: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-121 (RET-Mutant MTC)1 Confirmed overall response rate assessed by BIRC.2 Based on observed duration of response.+ Denotes ongoing response.RETEVMO(n 14)Overall Response Rate1 (95% CI)57% (29, 82) Complete response36% Partial response21%Duration of Response Median in months (range)Not reached (8.3+, 49.7+) with >= 18 months2 88% with >= 24 months2 75%. 14.3 RET Fusion-Positive Thyroid Cancer. LIBRETTO-001The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with advanced RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer enrolled in multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (LIBRETTO-001, NCT03157128). Efficacy was evaluated in 65 patients with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who were radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory (if RAI was an appropriate treatment option) and were systemic therapy naive and patients who were previously treated, in separate cohorts.The median age was 59 years (range 20 to 88); 49% were male; 65% were White, 20% were Asian, 4.6% were Black or African American; and 11% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (94%) or (6%). All (100%) patients had metastatic disease with primary tumor histologies including papillary thyroid cancer (83%), poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (9%), anaplastic thyroid cancer (6%) and Hurthle cell thyroid cancer (1.5%).

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in 2-year study in rats when administered by daily oral gavage at doses up to 20 mg/kg in males or 40 mg/kg in females (approximately equal to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in 6-month study in rasH2 transgenic mice when administered by daily oral gavage at doses of up to 60 mg/kg.Selpercatinib was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assays, with or without metabolic activation, or clastogenic in the in vitro micronucleus assay in human peripheral lymphocytes, with or without metabolic activation. Selpercatinib was positive in the in vivo micronucleus assay in rats at concentrations >7 times the Cmax at the human dose of 160 mg twice daily.In general toxicology studies, male rats and minipigs exhibited testicular degeneration which was associated with luminal cell debris and/or reduced luminal sperm in the epididymis at selpercatinib exposures approximately 0.4 (rat) and 0.1 (minipig) times the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose. In dedicated fertility study in male rats, administration of selpercatinib at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (approximately twice the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 twice daily clinical dose) for 28 days prior to cohabitation with untreated females did not affect mating or have clear effects on fertility. Males did, however, display dose-dependent increase in testicular germ cell depletion and spermatid retention at doses >=3 mg/kg (~0.2 times the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 twice daily clinical dose) accompanied by altered sperm morphology at 30 mg/kg.In dedicated fertility study in female rats treated with selpercatinib for 15 days before mating to Gestational Day 7, there were decreases in the number of estrous cycles at dose of 75 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). While selpercatinib did not have clear effects on mating performance or ability to become pregnant at any dose level, half of females at the 75 mg/kg dose level had 100% nonviable embryos. At the same dose level in females with some viable embryos there were increases in post-implantation loss. In 3-month general toxicology study in minipigs, there were findings of decreased or absent corpora lutea at selpercatinib dose of 15 mg/kg (approximately 0.3 times to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). Corpora luteal cysts were present in the minipig at selpercatinib doses >=2 mg/kg (approximately 0.07 times the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose).

(7.1). CYP2C8 and CYP3A Substrates: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, modify the substrate dosage as recommended in its product labeling. (7.2). Certain P-gp and BCRP Substrates: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, modify the substrate dosage as recommended in its product labeling. (7.2). 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on RETEVMO. Acid-Reducing AgentsConcomitant use of RETEVMO with acid-reducing agents decreases selpercatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce RETEVMO anti-tumor activity.Avoid concomitant use of PPIs, H2 receptor antagonists, and locally-acting antacids with RETEVMO. If coadministration cannot be avoided, take RETEVMO with food (with PPI) or modify its administration time (with H2 receptor antagonist or locally-acting antacid) [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. Strong and Moderate CYP3A InhibitorsConcomitant use of RETEVMO with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases selpercatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of RETEVMO adverse reactions, including QTc interval prolongation.Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors with RETEVMO. If concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors cannot be avoided, reduce the RETEVMO dosage and monitor the QT interval with ECGs more frequently [see Dosage and Administration (2.6), Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].. Strong and Moderate CYP3A InducersConcomitant use of RETEVMO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases selpercatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce RETEVMO anti-tumor activity.Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers with RETEVMO.. 7.2 Effects of RETEVMO on Other Drugs. CYP2C8 and CYP3A SubstratesRETEVMO is moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor and weak CYP3A inhibitor. Concomitant use of RETEVMO with CYP2C8 and CYP3A substrates increases their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Avoid coadministration of RETEVMO with CYP2C8 and CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to increased adverse reactions. If coadministration cannot be avoided, follow recommendations for CYP2C8 and CYP3A substrates provided in their approved product labeling.. Certain P-gp and BCRP SubstratesRETEVMO is P-gp and BCRP inhibitor. Concomitant use of RETEVMO with P-gp or BCRP substrates increases their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Avoid coadministration of RETEVMO with P-gp or BCRP substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to increased adverse reactions. If coadministration cannot be avoided, follow recommendations for P-gp and BCRP substrates provided in their approved product labeling.. 7.3 Drugs that Prolong QT Interval. RETEVMO is associated with QTc interval prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4), Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Monitor the QT interval with ECGs more frequently in patients who require treatment with concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.
12.1 Mechanism of Action. Selpercatinib is kinase inhibitor. Selpercatinib inhibited wild-type RET and multiple mutated RET isoforms as well as VEGFR1 and VEGFR3 with IC50 values ranging from 0.92 nM to 67.8 nM. In other enzyme assays, selpercatinib also inhibited FGFR 1, 2, and at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable. In cellular assays, selpercatinib inhibited RET at approximately 60-fold lower concentrations than FGFR1 and and approximately 8-fold lower concentration than VEGFR3.Certain point mutations in RET or chromosomal rearrangements involving in-frame fusions of RET with various partners can result in constitutively activated chimeric RET fusion proteins that can act as oncogenic drivers by promoting cell proliferation of tumor cell lines. In in vitro and in vivo tumor models, selpercatinib demonstrated anti-tumor activity in cells harboring constitutive activation of RET proteins resulting from gene fusions and mutations, including CCDC6-RET, KIF5B-RET, RET V804M, and RET M918T. In addition, selpercatinib showed anti-tumor activity in mice intracranially implanted with patient-derived RET fusion positive tumor.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in 2-year study in rats when administered by daily oral gavage at doses up to 20 mg/kg in males or 40 mg/kg in females (approximately equal to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in 6-month study in rasH2 transgenic mice when administered by daily oral gavage at doses of up to 60 mg/kg.Selpercatinib was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assays, with or without metabolic activation, or clastogenic in the in vitro micronucleus assay in human peripheral lymphocytes, with or without metabolic activation. Selpercatinib was positive in the in vivo micronucleus assay in rats at concentrations >7 times the Cmax at the human dose of 160 mg twice daily.In general toxicology studies, male rats and minipigs exhibited testicular degeneration which was associated with luminal cell debris and/or reduced luminal sperm in the epididymis at selpercatinib exposures approximately 0.4 (rat) and 0.1 (minipig) times the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose. In dedicated fertility study in male rats, administration of selpercatinib at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (approximately twice the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 twice daily clinical dose) for 28 days prior to cohabitation with untreated females did not affect mating or have clear effects on fertility. Males did, however, display dose-dependent increase in testicular germ cell depletion and spermatid retention at doses >=3 mg/kg (~0.2 times the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 twice daily clinical dose) accompanied by altered sperm morphology at 30 mg/kg.In dedicated fertility study in female rats treated with selpercatinib for 15 days before mating to Gestational Day 7, there were decreases in the number of estrous cycles at dose of 75 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). While selpercatinib did not have clear effects on mating performance or ability to become pregnant at any dose level, half of females at the 75 mg/kg dose level had 100% nonviable embryos. At the same dose level in females with some viable embryos there were increases in post-implantation loss. In 3-month general toxicology study in minipigs, there were findings of decreased or absent corpora lutea at selpercatinib dose of 15 mg/kg (approximately 0.3 times to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). Corpora luteal cysts were present in the minipig at selpercatinib doses >=2 mg/kg (approximately 0.07 times the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose).

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.
8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have been established in pediatric patients aged years and older for the treatment of:advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with RET mutation who require systemic therapyadvanced or metastatic thyroid cancer with RET gene fusion who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate)locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with RET gene fusion that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.Use of RETEVMO for these indications is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adult and pediatric patients with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients aged years and older [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Clinical Studies (14.2, 14.3, 14.4)]. The predicted exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients at the recommended dosages were within the range of values observed in patients >= 12 years and >= 50 kg in body weight receiving the approved recommended dosage of 160 mg twice daily [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in these indications in patients aged less than years.The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in pediatric patients for other indications [see Indications and Usage (1)].. advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with RET mutation who require systemic therapy. advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer with RET gene fusion who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate). locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with RET gene fusion that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.. Juvenile Animal Toxicity DataIn juvenile rat toxicity study, animals were dosed daily with selpercatinib from post-natal day 21 to day 70 (approximately equivalent to human child to late adolescent). Selpercatinib increased physeal thickness of multiple bones, extending into the metaphysis and associated with decreased trabecular bone, which was not reversible at doses approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily. Growth plate changes were associated with impairment of bone modeling, resulting in decreased femur length and with reduction in bone mineral density. Selpercatinib also induced reversible hypocellularity of bone marrow in males at >=30 mg/kg (approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily), and reversible alterations of dentin composition at >=50 mg/kg (approximately times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily). Irreversible, dose-dependent degeneration of testicular germinal epithelium, with vacuolation of Sertoli cells and corresponding depletion of spermatozoa in the epididymides, was also observed at >= 30 mg/kg (approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily) and affected male reproductive performance at 50 mg/kg (approximately times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily). Females exhibited delay in attainment of vaginal patency, marker of sexual maturity, at 125 mg/kg (approximately times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily); this effect was associated with lower mean body weight. Similar effects in irregular thickening of growth plates in adult rats and minipigs, and tooth dysplasia and malocclusion, resulting in tooth loss in adult rats were observed in repeat dose studies of up to 13-week duration with selpercatinib.Monitor growth plates in pediatric patients with open growth plates. Consider interrupting or discontinuing therapy based on the severity of any growth plate abnormalities and based on an individual risk-benefit assessment.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib capsules were evaluated in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors administered 160 mg twice daily unless otherwise specified. The capsule and tablet dosage forms of selpercatinib are bioequivalent. Steady state selpercatinib AUC and Cmax increased in slightly greater than dose proportional manner over the dose range of 20 mg once daily to 240 mg twice daily [0.06 to 1.5 times the maximum recommended total daily dosage].Steady-state was reached by approximately days and the median accumulation ratio after administration of 160 mg twice daily was 3.4-fold. Mean steady-state selpercatinib [coefficient of variation (CV%)] Cmax was 2,980 (53%) ng/mL and AUC0-24h was 51,600 (58%) ngh/mL.. AbsorptionThe median tmax of selpercatinib is hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of RETEVMO capsules is 73% (60% to 82%) in healthy subjects.. Effect of FoodFor both the capsule and tablet dosage forms no clinically significant differences in selpercatinib AUC or Cmax were observed following administration of high-fat meal (approximately 900 calories, 58 grams carbohydrate, 56 grams fat and 43 grams protein) in healthy subjects.. DistributionThe apparent volume of distribution (Vss/F) of selpercatinib is 203 L.Protein binding of selpercatinib is 96% in vitro and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.7.. EliminationThe apparent clearance (CL/F) of selpercatinib is L/h in patients and the half-life is 32 hours following oral administration of RETEVMO in healthy subjects.. MetabolismSelpercatinib is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4. Following oral administration of single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, unchanged selpercatinib constituted 86% of the radioactive drug components in plasma.. ExcretionFollowing oral administration of single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, 69% of the administered dose was recovered in feces (14% unchanged) and 24% in urine (12% unchanged).. Specific PopulationsThe apparent volume of distribution and clearance of selpercatinib increase with increasing body weight (9.6 kg to 179 kg).No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib were observed based on age (2 years to 92 years), sex, or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (eGFR >=15 to 89 mL/min). The effect of ESRD on selpercatinib pharmacokinetics has not been studied.. Pediatric patientsThe exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients are comparable to those in adult patients administered at the recommended dosages.. Patients with Hepatic ImpairmentThe selpercatinib AUC0-INF increased 1.1-fold in subjects with mild (total bilirubin <= ULN with AST ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 ULN with any AST), 1.3-fold in subjects with moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to x ULN and any AST), and 1.8-fold in subjects with severe (total bilirubin 3 to 10 ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function.. Drug Interaction Studies. Clinical Studies and Model-Informed ApproachesProton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole (PPI) decreased selpercatinib AUC0-INF and Cmax when RETEVMO was administered fasting. Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole did not significantly change the selpercatinib AUC0-INF and Cmax when RETEVMO was administered with food (Table 14).Table 14: Change in Selpercatinib Exposure After Coadministration with PPI1 High-fat meal: approximately 150, 250, and 500-600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively; approximately 800 to 1,000 calories total.2 Low-fat meal: approximately 390 calories and 10 of fat.SelpercatinibAUC0-INFSelpercatinibCmaxRETEVMO fastingReferenceReferenceRETEVMO fasting PPI 69% 88%RETEVMO with high-fat meal1 PPI 2% 49%RETEVMO with low-fat meal2 PPINo change 22%H2 Receptor Antagonists: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with multiple daily doses of ranitidine (H2 receptor antagonist) given 10 hours prior to and hours after the RETEVMO dose (administered fasting).Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased the selpercatinib AUC0-INF 2.3-fold and Cmax 1.3-fold.Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of diltiazem, fluconazole, or verapamil (moderate CYP3A inhibitors) is predicted to increase the selpercatinib AUC 1.6 to 2-fold and Cmax 1.5 to 1.8-fold.Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the selpercatinib AUC0-INF by 87% and Cmax by 70%.Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of bosentan or efavirenz (moderate CYP3A inducers) is predicted to decrease the selpercatinib AUC by 40-70% and Cmax by 34-57%.Weak CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of modafinil (weak CYP3A inducer) is predicted to decrease the selpercatinib AUC by 33% and Cmax by 26%.CYP2C8 Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with repaglinide (sensitive CYP2C8 substrate) increased the repaglinide AUC0-INF 2.9-fold and Cmax 1.9-fold.CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) increased the midazolam AUC0-INF 1.5-fold and Cmax 1.4-fold.P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with dabigatran (P-gp substrate) increased the dabigatran AUC0-INF 1.4-fold and Cmax 1.4-fold.BCRP Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate) increased the rosuvastatin AUC0-INF by 1.9-fold and Cmax by 1.7-fold.P-gp Inhibitors: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with single dose of rifampin (P-gp inhibitor).MATE1 Substrates: No clinically significant differences in glucose levels were observed when metformin (MATE1 substrate) was coadministered with selpercatinib.. In Vitro StudiesCYP Enzymes: Selpercatinib does not inhibit or induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations.Transporter Systems: Selpercatinib inhibits MATE1. Selpercatinib may increase serum creatinine by decreasing renal tubular secretion of creatinine via inhibition of MATE1 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].Selpercatinib does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MATE2-K at clinically relevant concentrations.Selpercatinib is substrate for P-gp and BCRP, but not for OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], RETEVMO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no available data on RETEVMO use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk. Administration of selpercatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryolethality and malformations at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to the human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily. 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.. Data. Animal DataSelpercatinib administration to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at oral doses >=100 mg/kg [approximately 3.6 times the human exposure based on the area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily] resulted in 100% post-implantation loss. At the dose of 50 mg/kg [approximately equal to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily], of females had 100% early resorptions; the remaining females had high levels of early resorptions with only viable fetuses across the litters. All viable fetuses had decreased fetal body weight and malformations (2 with short tail and one with small snout and localized edema of the neck and thorax).

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. Lactation:Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2)Pediatric Use: Monitor open growth plates in pediatric patients. Consider interrupting or discontinuing RETEVMO if abnormalities occur. (8.4). Lactation:Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2). Pediatric Use: Monitor open growth plates in pediatric patients. Consider interrupting or discontinuing RETEVMO if abnormalities occur. (8.4). 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], RETEVMO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no available data on RETEVMO use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk. Administration of selpercatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryolethality and malformations at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to the human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily. 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.. Data. Animal DataSelpercatinib administration to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at oral doses >=100 mg/kg [approximately 3.6 times the human exposure based on the area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily] resulted in 100% post-implantation loss. At the dose of 50 mg/kg [approximately equal to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily], of females had 100% early resorptions; the remaining females had high levels of early resorptions with only viable fetuses across the litters. All viable fetuses had decreased fetal body weight and malformations (2 with short tail and one with small snout and localized edema of the neck and thorax).. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of selpercatinib or its metabolites in human milk or on their 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 RETEVMO and for week after the last dose.. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. Based on animal data, RETEVMO can cause embryolethality and malformations at doses resulting in exposures less than or equal to the human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].. Pregnancy TestingVerify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating RETEVMO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].. Contraception. FemalesAdvise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with RETEVMO and for week after the last dose.. MalesAdvise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with RETEVMO and for week after the last dose.. InfertilityRETEVMO may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have been established in pediatric patients aged years and older for the treatment of:advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with RET mutation who require systemic therapyadvanced or metastatic thyroid cancer with RET gene fusion who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate)locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with RET gene fusion that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.Use of RETEVMO for these indications is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adult and pediatric patients with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients aged years and older [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), Clinical Studies (14.2, 14.3, 14.4)]. The predicted exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients at the recommended dosages were within the range of values observed in patients >= 12 years and >= 50 kg in body weight receiving the approved recommended dosage of 160 mg twice daily [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in these indications in patients aged less than years.The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in pediatric patients for other indications [see Indications and Usage (1)].. advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with RET mutation who require systemic therapy. advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer with RET gene fusion who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate). locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with RET gene fusion that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.. Juvenile Animal Toxicity DataIn juvenile rat toxicity study, animals were dosed daily with selpercatinib from post-natal day 21 to day 70 (approximately equivalent to human child to late adolescent). Selpercatinib increased physeal thickness of multiple bones, extending into the metaphysis and associated with decreased trabecular bone, which was not reversible at doses approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily. Growth plate changes were associated with impairment of bone modeling, resulting in decreased femur length and with reduction in bone mineral density. Selpercatinib also induced reversible hypocellularity of bone marrow in males at >=30 mg/kg (approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily), and reversible alterations of dentin composition at >=50 mg/kg (approximately times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily). Irreversible, dose-dependent degeneration of testicular germinal epithelium, with vacuolation of Sertoli cells and corresponding depletion of spermatozoa in the epididymides, was also observed at >= 30 mg/kg (approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily) and affected male reproductive performance at 50 mg/kg (approximately times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily). Females exhibited delay in attainment of vaginal patency, marker of sexual maturity, at 125 mg/kg (approximately times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily); this effect was associated with lower mean body weight. Similar effects in irregular thickening of growth plates in adult rats and minipigs, and tooth dysplasia and malocclusion, resulting in tooth loss in adult rats were observed in repeat dose studies of up to 13-week duration with selpercatinib.Monitor growth plates in pediatric patients with open growth plates. Consider interrupting or discontinuing therapy based on the severity of any growth plate abnormalities and based on an individual risk-benefit assessment.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. Of 857 patients who received RETEVMO, 35% (298 patients) were >=65 years of age and 10% (85 patients) were >=75 years of age. No overall differences were observed in the safety or effectiveness of RETEVMO between patients who were >=65 years of age and younger patients.. 8.6 Renal Impairment. No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild to severe renal impairment [estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) >=15 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation].The recommended dosage has not been established for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment. Reduce the dose when administering RETEVMO to patients with severe [total bilirubin 3 to 10 upper limit of normal (ULN) and any AST] hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.7)].No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin <= ULN with AST ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 ULN with any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to x ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment.Monitor for RETEVMO-related adverse reactions in patients with hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Increased AST occurred in 62% of patients, including Grade or events in 11% and increased ALT occurred in 58% of patients, including Grade or events in 13% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The median time to first onset for increased AST was weeks (range: 4.9 days to years) and increased ALT was 4.9 weeks (range: days to years).Monitor ALT and AST prior to initiating RETEVMO, every weeks during the first months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].. 5.2 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis. Severe, life-threatening, and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with RETEVMO. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3% of patients who received RETEVMO, including 0.3% with Grade or events, and 0.2% with fatal reactions.Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Withhold RETEVMO and promptly investigate for ILD in any patient who presents with acute or worsening of respiratory symptoms which may be indicative of ILD (e.g., dyspnea, cough, and fever). Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity of confirmed ILD [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].. 5.3 Hypertension. Hypertension occurred in 43% of patients, including Grade hypertension in 20% and Grade in one (0.1%) patient [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Overall, 6.4% had their dose interrupted, 1.5% had their dose reduced, and 0.2% discontinued RETEVMO for hypertension. Treatment-emergent hypertension was most commonly managed with anti-hypertension medications.Do not initiate RETEVMO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

An increase in QTcF interval to >500 ms was measured in 8% of patients and an increase in the QTcF interval of at least 60 ms over baseline was measured in 22% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. RETEVMO has not been studied in patients with clinically significant active cardiovascular disease or recent myocardial infarction.Monitor patients who are at significant risk of developing QTc prolongation, including patients with known long QT syndromes, clinically significant bradyarrhythmias, and severe or uncontrolled heart failure. Assess QT interval, electrolytes and TSH at baseline and periodically during treatment, adjusting frequency based upon risk factors including diarrhea. Correct hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia prior to initiating RETEVMO and during treatment.Monitor the QT interval more frequently when RETEVMO is concomitantly administered with strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors or drugs known to prolong QTc interval. Withhold and reduce the dose or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].. 5.5 Hemorrhagic Events.

Grade >=3 hemorrhagic events occurred in 4.3% of patients treated with RETEVMO, including (0.5%) patients with fatal hemorrhagic events, including cerebral hemorrhage (n 2), tracheostomy site hemorrhage, and hemoptysis (1 each).Permanently discontinue RETEVMO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].. 5.6 Hypersensitivity. RETEVMO can cause hypersensitivity, including severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. All grade hypersensitivity occurred in 6% of patients receiving RETEVMO, including Grade in 2%. The median time to onset was 1.9 weeks (range: days to 6.5 years). Signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity included fever, rash and arthralgias or myalgias with concurrent decreased platelets or transaminitis. Stevens Johnsons Syndrome has been observed in the post-marketing setting [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. Discontinue RETEVMO in patients with Stevens Johnson Syndrome.If hypersensitivity occurs, withhold RETEVMO and begin corticosteroids at dose of mg/kg prednisone (or equivalent). Upon resolution of the event, resume RETEVMO at reduced dose and increase the dose of RETEVMO by dose level each week as tolerated until reaching the dose taken prior to onset of hypersensitivity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Continue steroids until patient reaches target dose and then taper. Permanently discontinue RETEVMO for recurrent hypersensitivity.. 5.7 Tumor Lysis Syndrome. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) occurred in 0.9% of patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma and 0.3% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving RETEVMO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Patients may be at risk of TLS if they have rapidly growing tumors, high tumor burden, renal dysfunction, or dehydration. Closely monitor patients at risk, consider appropriate prophylaxis including hydration, and treat as clinically indicated.. 5.8 Risk of Impaired Wound Healing. Impaired wound healing can occur in patients who receive drugs that inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. Therefore, RETEVMO has the potential to adversely affect wound healing.Withhold RETEVMO for at least days prior to elective surgery.
