Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Acid-Reducing Agents: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, take RETEVMO with food (with PPI) or modify its administration time (with H2 receptor antagonist or locally-acting antacid). ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the RETEVMO dose. ( 2.6 , 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid coadministration. ( 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 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 Agents Concomitant 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 a PPI) or modify its administration time (with a H2 receptor antagonist or a locally-acting antacid) [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Concomitant use of RETEVMO with a 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 ), Warning and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of RETEVMO with a 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 Substrates RETEVMO is a moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor and a 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 Substrates RETEVMO is a P-gp inhibitor. Concomitant use of RETEVMO with P-gp 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 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to increased adverse reactions. If coadministration cannot be avoided, follow recommendations for P-gp 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.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Selpercatinib is a kinase inhibitor. Selpercatinib inhibited wild-type RET and multiple mutated RET isoforms as well as VEGFR1 and VEGFR3 with IC 50 values ranging from 0.92 nM to 67.8 nM. In other enzyme assays, selpercatinib also inhibited FGFR 1, 2, and 3 at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable. In cellular assays, selpercatinib inhibited RET at approximately 60-fold lower concentrations than FGFR1 and 2 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 a patient-derived RET fusion positive tumor. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationship Selpercatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of RETEVMO on the QTc interval was evaluated in a 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 (C max ) observed in patients after administration of 160 mg twice daily. The increase in QTc was concentration-dependent. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib were evaluated in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors administered 160 mg twice daily unless otherwise specified. Steady state selpercatinib AUC and C max increased in a 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 7 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%)] C max was 2,980 (53%) ng/mL and AUC 0-24h was 51,600 (58%) ng*h/mL. Absorption The median t max of selpercatinib is 2 hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of RETEVMO capsules is 73% (60% to 82%) in healthy subjects. Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib AUC or C max were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (approximately 900 calories, 58 grams carbohydrate, 56 grams fat and 43 grams protein) in healthy subjects. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution (V ss /F) of selpercatinib is 191 L. Protein binding of selpercatinib is 96% in vitro and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.7. Elimination The apparent clearance (CL/F) of selpercatinib is 6 L/h in patients and the half-life is 32 hours following oral administration of RETEVMO in healthy subjects. Metabolism Selpercatinib is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4. Following oral administration of a single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, unchanged selpercatinib constituted 86% of the radioactive drug components in plasma. Excretion Following oral administration of a 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 Populations The apparent volume of distribution and clearance of selpercatinib increase with increasing body weight (27 kg to 179 kg). No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib were observed based on age (15 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. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The selpercatinib AUC 0-INF increased by 7%, 32%, and 77% in subjects with mild (total bilirubin less than or equal to ULN with AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST), moderate (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST), and severe (total bilirubin greater than 3 to 10 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, respectively, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole (PPI) decreased selpercatinib AUC 0-INF and C max when RETEVMO was administered fasting. Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole did not significantly change the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF and C max when RETEVMO was administered with food ( Table 7 ). Table 7: Change in Selpercatinib Exposure After Coadministration with PPI 1 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 g of fat. Selpercatinib AUC 0-INF Selpercatinib C max RETEVMO fasting Reference Reference RETEVMO fasting + PPI ↓ 69% ↓ 88% RETEVMO with a high-fat meal 1 + PPI ↑ 2% ↓ 49% RETEVMO with a low-fat meal 2 + PPI No 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 2 hours after the RETEVMO dose (administered fasting). Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF by 133% and C max by 30%. Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of diltiazem, fluconazole, or verapamil (moderate CYP3A inhibitors) is predicted to increase the selpercatinib AUC by 60-99% and C max by 46-76%. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF by 87% and C max 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 C max 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 C max by 26%. CYP2C8 Substrates : Coadministration of RETEVMO with repaglinide (sensitive CYP2C8 substrate) increased the repaglinide AUC 0-INF by 188% and C max by 91%. CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) increased the midazolam AUC 0-INF by 54% and C max by 39%. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with dabigatran (P-gp substrate) increased the dabigatran AUC 0-INF by 38% and C max by 43%. P-gp Inhibitors: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with a 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 Studies CYP Enzymes: Selpercatinib does not inhibit or induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations. Transporter Systems: Selpercatinib inhibits MATE1 and BCRP, but does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MATE2-K at clinically relevant concentrations. Selpercatinib may increase serum creatinine by decreasing renal tubular secretion of creatinine via inhibition of MATE1 [see Adverse Effects ( 6.1 )] . Selpercatinib is a substrate for P-gp and BCRP, but not for OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K.

Mechanism Of Action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Selpercatinib is a kinase inhibitor. Selpercatinib inhibited wild-type RET and multiple mutated RET isoforms as well as VEGFR1 and VEGFR3 with IC 50 values ranging from 0.92 nM to 67.8 nM. In other enzyme assays, selpercatinib also inhibited FGFR 1, 2, and 3 at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable. In cellular assays, selpercatinib inhibited RET at approximately 60-fold lower concentrations than FGFR1 and 2 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 a patient-derived RET fusion positive tumor.

Pharmacodynamics

12.2 Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationship Selpercatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of RETEVMO on the QTc interval was evaluated in a 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 (C max ) observed in patients after administration of 160 mg twice daily. The increase in QTc was concentration-dependent.

Pharmacokinetics

12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib were evaluated in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors administered 160 mg twice daily unless otherwise specified. Steady state selpercatinib AUC and C max increased in a 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 7 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%)] C max was 2,980 (53%) ng/mL and AUC 0-24h was 51,600 (58%) ng*h/mL. Absorption The median t max of selpercatinib is 2 hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of RETEVMO capsules is 73% (60% to 82%) in healthy subjects. Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib AUC or C max were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (approximately 900 calories, 58 grams carbohydrate, 56 grams fat and 43 grams protein) in healthy subjects. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution (V ss /F) of selpercatinib is 191 L. Protein binding of selpercatinib is 96% in vitro and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.7. Elimination The apparent clearance (CL/F) of selpercatinib is 6 L/h in patients and the half-life is 32 hours following oral administration of RETEVMO in healthy subjects. Metabolism Selpercatinib is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4. Following oral administration of a single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, unchanged selpercatinib constituted 86% of the radioactive drug components in plasma. Excretion Following oral administration of a 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 Populations The apparent volume of distribution and clearance of selpercatinib increase with increasing body weight (27 kg to 179 kg). No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib were observed based on age (15 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. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The selpercatinib AUC 0-INF increased by 7%, 32%, and 77% in subjects with mild (total bilirubin less than or equal to ULN with AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST), moderate (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST), and severe (total bilirubin greater than 3 to 10 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, respectively, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole (PPI) decreased selpercatinib AUC 0-INF and C max when RETEVMO was administered fasting. Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole did not significantly change the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF and C max when RETEVMO was administered with food ( Table 7 ). Table 7: Change in Selpercatinib Exposure After Coadministration with PPI 1 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 g of fat.

Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF by 133% and C max by 30%. Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of diltiazem, fluconazole, or verapamil (moderate CYP3A inhibitors) is predicted to increase the selpercatinib AUC by 60-99% and C max by 46-76%. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF by 87% and C max 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 C max 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 C max by 26%. CYP2C8 Substrates : Coadministration of RETEVMO with repaglinide (sensitive CYP2C8 substrate) increased the repaglinide AUC 0-INF by 188% and C max by 91%. CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) increased the midazolam AUC 0-INF by 54% and C max by 39%. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with dabigatran (P-gp substrate) increased the dabigatran AUC 0-INF by 38% and C max by 43%. P-gp Inhibitors: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with a 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 Studies CYP Enzymes: Selpercatinib does not inhibit or induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations. Transporter Systems: Selpercatinib inhibits MATE1 and BCRP, but does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MATE2-K at clinically relevant concentrations. Selpercatinib may increase serum creatinine by decreasing renal tubular secretion of creatinine via inhibition of MATE1 [see Adverse Effects ( 6.1 )] . Selpercatinib is a substrate for P-gp and BCRP, but not for OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K.

Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with selpercatinib. 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 C max 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 recommended human dose. In a 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 dose) for 28 days prior to cohabitation with untreated females did not affect mating or have clear effects on fertility. Males did, however, display a 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 dose) accompanied by altered sperm morphology at 30 mg/kg. In a 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 a 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 a 3-month general toxicology study in minipigs, there were findings of decreased or absent corpora lutea at a 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).

PATIENT INFORMATION RETEVMO® (reh-TEHV-moh) (selpercatinib) capsules
What is RETEVMO? RETEVMO is a prescription medicine that is used to treat certain cancers caused by abnormal RET genes in:
  • adults with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or NSCLC that has spread.
  • adults and children 12 years of age and older with advanced medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or MTC that has spread, who require a medicine by mouth or injection (systemic therapy).
  • adults and children 12 years of age and older with advanced thyroid cancer or thyroid cancer that has spread who require a medicine by mouth or injection (systemic therapy), and who have received radioactive iodine and it did not work or is no longer working.
  • adults with locally advanced solid tumors (cancers) or solid tumors that have spread, and have gotten worse (progressed) on or after other treatment or there are no satisfactory treatment options. Your healthcare provider will perform a test to make sure that RETEVMO is right for you. It is not known if RETEVMO is safe and effective when used:
  • in children younger than 12 years of age for the treatment of MTC who require systemic therapy, and advanced thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and who have received radioactive iodine and it did not work or is no longer working, or
  • in children for the treatment of any other cancers.
  • Before taking RETEVMO, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
  • have liver problems
  • have lung or breathing problems other than lung cancer
  • have high blood pressure
  • have heart problems including a condition called QT prolongation
  • have bleeding problems
  • plan to have surgery. You should stop taking RETEVMO at least 7 days before your planned surgery. See “What are the possible side effects of RETEVMO?”
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. RETEVMO can harm your unborn baby. You should not become pregnant during treatment with RETEVMO.
  • If you are able to become pregnant, your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with RETEVMO.
  • Females who are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment and for 1 week after your last dose of RETEVMO. Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that may be right for you.
  • Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you might be pregnant during treatment with RETEVMO.
  • Males with female partners who are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with RETEVMO and for 1 week after your last dose of RETEVMO.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if RETEVMO passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with RETEVMO and for 1 week after your last dose.
  • Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. RETEVMO may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how RETEVMO works, and may increase your risk of side effects. You should avoid taking St. John's wort, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs such as dexlansoprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole sodium, rabeprazole), H2 blockers (such as famotidine, nizatidine, and cimetidine), and antacids that contain aluminum, magnesium, calcium, simethicone, or buffered medicines during treatment with RETEVMO. If you cannot avoid taking PPIs, H2 blockers, or antacids, see “How should I take RETEVMO?” for more information on how to take RETEVMO with these medicines. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

    How should I take RETEVMO?

  • Take RETEVMO exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.
  • Your healthcare provider may change your dose, temporarily stop, or permanently stop treatment with RETEVMO if you have side effects. Do not change your dose or stop taking RETEVMO unless your healthcare provider tells you.
  • RETEVMO is taken by mouth, usually 2 times a day about 12 hours apart.
  • Take RETEVMO with or without food.
  • If you take a proton-pump inhibitor (PPIs such as dexlansoprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole sodium, and rabeprazole), take RETEVMO with food.
  • If you take an antacid that contains aluminum, magnesium, calcium, simethicone, or buffered medicines, take RETEVMO 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking the antacid.
  • If you take an H2 blocker (such as famotidine, nizatidine, and cimetidine), take RETEVMO 2 hours before or 10 hours after taking the H2 blocker.
  • Swallow RETEVMO capsules whole. Do not crush or chew the capsules.
  • If you vomit after taking a dose of RETEVMO, do not take an extra dose. Take the next dose of RETEVMO at your scheduled time.
  • Do not take a missed dose of RETEVMO unless it is more than 6 hours until your next scheduled dose.
  • What are the possible side effects of RETEVMO?

    RETEVMO may cause serious side effects, including:
  • Liver problems. Liver problems (increased liver enzymes) are common with RETEVMO and may sometimes be serious. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests before and during treatment with RETEVMO to check for liver problems. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms of liver problems during treatment:
  • yellowing of your skin or the white part of your eyes (jaundice)
  • dark “tea-colored” urine
  • sleepiness
  • bleeding or bruising
  • loss of appetite
  • nausea or vomiting
  • pain on the upper right side of your stomach area
  • Lung problems. RETEVMO may cause severe or life-threatening inflammation of the lungs during treatment, that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any new or worsening lung symptoms, including:
  • shortness of breath
  • cough
  • fever
  • High blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is common with RETEVMO and may sometimes be severe. You should check your blood pressure regularly during treatment with RETEVMO. If you develop blood pressure problems, your healthcare provider may prescribe medicine to treat your high blood pressure. Tell your healthcare provider if you have increased blood pressure readings or get any symptoms of high blood pressure, including:
  • confusion
  • headaches
  • shortness of breath
  • dizziness
  • chest pain
  • Heart rhythm changes (QT prolongation). RETEVMO may cause very slow, very fast or irregular heartbeats. Your healthcare provider may perform tests before and during treatment with RETEVMO to check the activity of your heart and the levels of body salts (electrolytes) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following symptoms:
  • loss of consciousness
  • fainting
  • dizziness
  • a change in the way your heart beats (heart palpitations)
  • Bleeding problems. RETEVMO can cause bleeding which can be serious and may lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any signs of bleeding during treatment with RETEVMO, including:
  • vomiting blood or if your vomit looks like coffee-grounds
  • pink or brown urine
  • red or black (looks like tar) stools
  • coughing up blood or blood clots
  • unusual bleeding or bruising of your skin
  • menstrual bleeding that is heavier than normal
  • unusual vaginal bleeding
  • nose bleeds that happen often
  • drowsiness or difficulty being awakened
  • confusion
  • headache
  • change in speech
  • Allergic reactions. RETEVMO can cause a fever, rash, muscle or joint pain, especially during the first month of treatment. Tell your healthcare provider if you get any of these symptoms.
  • Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). TLS is caused by a fast breakdown of cancer cells. TLS can cause kidney failure, the need for dialysis treatment, and an abnormal heartbeat. TLS can lead to hospitalization. Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to check you for TLS. You should stay well hydrated during treatment with RETEVMO. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical help right away if you develop any of these symptoms during treatment with RETEVMO:
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • weakness
  • swelling
  • shortness of breath
  • muscle cramps
  • seizures
  • Risk of wound healing problems. Wounds may not heal properly during treatment with RETEVMO. Tell your healthcare provider if you plan to have any surgery before or during treatment with RETEVMO.
  • You should stop taking RETEVMO at least 7 days before planned surgery.
  • Your healthcare provider should tell you when you may start taking RETEVMO again after surgery.

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 RET Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with advanced RET fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled in a 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 a 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 a blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1. RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum Chemotherapy Efficacy was evaluated in 247 patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC previously treated with platinum chemotherapy enrolled into a 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, and 2.8% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (97%) or 2 (3%) and 97% of patients had metastatic disease. Patients received a median of 2 prior systemic therapies (range 1–15); 58% had prior anti-PD-1/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 8 .

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 2 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-naïve RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Efficacy was evaluated in 69 patients with treatment-naïve RET fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled into a 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. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (94%) or 2 (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 naïve RET fusion-positive NSCLC are summarized in Table 9 .

Two patients received RT to the brain within 2 months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 4 of these 5 patients; 38% of responders had an intracranial DOR of ≥ 12 months. 14.2 RET -Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with RET -mutant MTC enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (LIBRETTO-001, 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 naïve to cabozantinib and vandetanib in separate cohorts. RET -Mutant MTC Previously Treated with Cabozantinib or Vandetanib Efficacy was evaluated in 55 patients with RET- mutant advanced MTC who had previously treated with cabozantinib or vandetanib enrolled into a 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 2 (5%) and 98% of patients had metastatic disease. Patients received a median of 2 prior systemic therapies (range 1 – 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 10 .

The median age was 58 years (range: 15 to 82) with two patients (2.3%) aged 12 to 16 years; 66% were male; and 86% were White, 4.5% were Asian, and 2.3% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (97%) or 2 (3.4%). All patients (100%) had metastatic disease and 18% had received 1 or 2 prior systemic therapies (including 8% kinase inhibitors, 4.5% chemotherapy, 2.3% anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy, and 1.1% radioactive iodine). RET mutation status was detected in 77.3% of patients using NGS (75.0% tumor samples; 2.3% blood samples), 18.2% using PCR, and 4.5% using an unknown test. The mutations used to identify and enroll patients are described in Table 10 . Efficacy results for cabozantinib and vandetanib-naïve RET- mutant MTC are summarized in Table 12 .

Efficacy was evaluated in 27 patients with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who were radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory (if RAI was an appropriate treatment option) and were systemic therapy naïve and patients with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who were RAI-refractory and had received sorafenib, lenvatinib, or both, in separate cohorts. The median age was 54 years (range 20 to 88); 52% were male; 74% were White, 11% were Hispanic/Latino, 7.4% were Asian, and 3.7% were Black. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (89%) or 2 (11%). All (100%) patients had metastatic disease with primary tumor histologies including papillary thyroid cancer (78%), poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (11%), anaplastic thyroid cancer (7%) and Hurthle cell thyroid cancer (4%). Patients had received a median of 3 prior therapies (range 1–7). RET fusion-positive status was detected in 93% of patients using NGS tumor samples and in 7% using blood samples. Efficacy results for RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer are summarized in Table 13 .

Efficacy was evaluated in 41 patients with RET fusion-positive tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid cancer with disease progression on or following prior systemic treatment or who had no satisfactory alternative treatment options. The median age was 50 years (range 21 to 85), 54% were female, 68% were White, 24% were Asian, and 4.9% were Black; 7% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (95%) or 2 (5%) and 95% of patients had metastatic disease. Thirty-seven patients (90%) received prior systemic therapy (median 2 [range 0 – 9]; 32% received 3 or more). The most common cancers were pancreatic adenocarcinoma (27%), colorectal (24%), salivary (10%) and unknown primary (7%). RET fusion-positive status was detected in 97.6% of patients using NGS and 2.4% using FISH.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Of 796 patients who received RETEVMO, 34% (268 patients) were ≥65 years of age and 9% (74 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.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) who require systemic therapy and for advanced RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate). Use of RETEVMO for these indications is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.2 , 14.3 )] . The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in these indications in patients less than 12 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in pediatric patients for other indications [see Indications and Usage ( 1 )] . Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data In a juvenile rat toxicity study, animals were dosed daily with selpercatinib from post-natal day 21 to day 70 (approximately equivalent to a 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 3 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 3 times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily). Females exhibited delay in attainment of vaginal patency, a marker of sexual maturity, at 125 mg/kg (approximately 4 times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily); this affect 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 adolescent 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.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , RETEVMO can cause fetal harm when administered to a 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 a 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 Data Selpercatinib 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], 6 of 8 females had 100% early resorptions; the remaining 2 females had high levels of early resorptions with only 3 viable fetuses across the 2 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).

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 Summary There 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 1 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 Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating RETEVMO [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with RETEVMO and for 1 week after the last dose. Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with RETEVMO and for 1 week after the last dose. Infertility RETEVMO 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 12 years and older for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) who require systemic therapy and for advanced RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate).

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 greater than 3 to 10 times 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 less than or equal to ULN with AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment. Monitor for RETEVMO-related adverse reactions in patients with hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
