5warnings And Precautions

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Withhold GAVRETO for Grade 1 or 2 reactions until resolution and then resume at a reduced dose. Permanently discontinue for recurrent ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue for Grade 3 or 4 reactions. (2.3, 5.1)

Hypertension: Do not initiate GAVRETO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure (BP) prior to initiating GAVRETO. Monitor BP after 1 week, at least monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity. (2.3, 5.2)

Hepatotoxicity: Monitor ALT and AST prior to initiating GAVRETO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity. (2.3, 5.3)

Hemorrhagic Events: Permanently discontinue GAVRETO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage. (2.3, 5.4)

Tumor Lysis Syndrome: Closely monitor patients at risk and treat as clinically indicated. (2.3, 5.5)

Risk of Impaired Wound Healing: Withhold GAVRETO for at least 5 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer for at least 2 weeks following major surgery and until adequate wound healing. The safety of resumption of GAVRETO after resolution of wound healing complications has not been established. (5.6)

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective non-hormonal contraception. (5.7, 8.1, 8.3)

5.1 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis

Severe, life-threatening, and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) / pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with GAVRETO. Pneumonitis occurred in 12% of patients who received GAVRETO, including 3.3% with Grade 3-4, and 0.2% with fatal reactions.

Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Withhold GAVRETO 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 dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity of confirmed ILD [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.2Hypertension

Hypertension occurred in 35% of patients, including Grade 3 hypertension in 18% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Overall, 8% had their dose interrupted and 4.8% had their dose reduced for hypertension. Treatment-emergent hypertension was most commonly managed with anti-hypertension medications.

Do not initiate GAVRETO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure prior to initiating GAVRETO. Monitor blood pressure after 1 week, at least monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Initiate or adjust anti-hypertensive therapy as appropriate. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.3Hepatoxicity

Serious hepatic adverse reactions occurred in 1.5% of patients treated with GAVRETO. Increased AST occurred in 49% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 in 7% and increased ALT occurred in 37% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 in 4.8% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The median time to first onset for increased AST was 15 days (range: 5 days to 2.5 years) and for increased ALT was 24 days (range: 7 days to 3.7 years).

Monitor AST and ALT prior to initiating GAVRETO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.4 Hemorrhagic Events

Serious, including fatal, hemorrhagic events can occur with GAVRETO. Grade ≥ 3 hemorrhagic events occurred in 4.1% of patients treated with GAVRETO including one patient with a fatal hemorrhagic event.

Permanently discontinue GAVRETO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.5 Tumor Lysis Syndrome

Cases of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) have been reported in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma receiving GAVRETO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Patients may be at risk of TLS if they have rapidly growing tumors, a high tumor burden, renal dysfunction, or dehydration. Closely monitor patients at risk, consider appropriate prophylaxis including hydration, and treat as clinically indicated.

5.6Risk 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, GAVRETO has the potential to adversely affect wound healing.

Withhold GAVRETO for at least 5 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer for at least 2 weeks following major surgery and until adequate wound healing. The safety of resumption of GAVRETO after resolution of wound healing complications has not been established.

5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, GAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of pralsetinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations and embryolethality at maternal exposures below the human exposure at the clinical dose of 400 mg once daily.

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 2 weeks after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

7drug Interactions

Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or P-gp inhibitors: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of GAVRETO. (2.4, 7.1, 12.3)

Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the dose of GAVRETO. (2.5, 7.1, 12.3)

7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on GAVRETO

Strong or Moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp Inhibitors

Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor and/or a P-gp inhibitor increases pralsetinib exposure [Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to GAVRETO. Avoid coadministration of GAVRETO with a strong or moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp inhibitor. If coadministration with any of the above inhibitors cannot be avoided, reduce the GAVRETO dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers

Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases pralsetinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may decrease efficacy of GAVRETO. Avoid concomitant use of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. If coadministration of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers cannot be avoided, increase the GAVRETO dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

8use In Specific Populations

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2)

Pediatric Use: Monitor open growth plates in adolescent patients. Consider interrupting or discontinuing GAVRETO if abnormalities occur. (8.4)

8.1Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, GAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on GAVRETO use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk. Oral administration of pralsetinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations and embryolethality at maternal exposures below the human exposure at the clinical dose of 400 mg once daily (see Data). 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 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Data

Animal Data

In an embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of pralsetinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in 100% post-implantation loss at dose levels ≥ 20 mg/kg (approximately 1.8 times the human exposure based on area under the curve [AUC] at the clinical dose of 400 mg). Post-implantation loss also occurred at the 10 mg/kg dose level (approximately 0.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg). Once daily oral administration of pralsetinib at dose levels ≥ 5 mg/kg (approximately 0.2 times the human AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg) resulted in an increase in visceral malformations and variations (absent or small kidney and ureter, absent uterine horn, malpositioned kidney or testis, retroesophageal aortic arch) and skeletal malformations and variations (vertebral and rib anomalies and reduced ossification).

8.2Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of pralsetinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on either 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 GAVRETO and for 1 week after the last dose.

8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

Based on animal data, GAVRETO can cause embryolethality and malformations at doses resulting in exposures below the human exposure at the clinical dose of 400 mg daily [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Pregnancy Testing

Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating GAVRETO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Contraception

GAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Females

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 2 weeks after the last dose. GAVRETO may render hormonal contraceptives ineffective.

Males

Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 1 week after the last dose.

Infertility

Based on histopathological findings in the reproductive tissues of male and female rats and a dedicated fertility study in which animals of both sexes were treated and mated to each other, GAVRETO may impair fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

8.4Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of GAVRETO have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older for RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer. Use of GAVRETO in this age group is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study of GAVRETO in adults with additional population pharmacokinetic data demonstrating that age and body weight had no clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of pralsetinib, that the exposure of pralsetinib is expected to be similar between adults and pediatric patients age 12 years and older, and that the course of RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer is sufficiently similar in adults and pediatric patients to allow extrapolation of data in adults to pediatric patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14.2)].

The safety and effectiveness of GAVRETO have not been established in pediatric patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC or in pediatric patients younger than 12 years old with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer.

Animal Toxicity Data

In a 4-week repeat-dose toxicology study in non-human primates, physeal dysplasia in the femur occurred at doses resulting in exposures similar to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. In rats there were findings of increased physeal thickness in the femur and sternum as well as tooth (incisor) abnormalities (fractures, dentin matrix alteration, ameloblast/odontoblast degeneration, necrosis) in both 4- and 13-week studies at doses resulting in exposures similar to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. Recovery was not assessed in the 13-week toxicology study, but increased physeal thickness in the femur and incisor degeneration did not show evidence of complete recovery in the 28-day rat study.

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.

8.5Geriatric Use

Of the 540 patients in ARROW who received the recommended dose of GAVRETO at 400 mg once daily, 31% were 65 years or and over, while 7% were 75 years and over.

No overall differences in pharmacokinetics (PK), safety or effectiveness were observed between patients aged 65 years or older and younger patients.

8.6Hepatic Impairment

No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 × ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin > 3 × ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment.

11description

Pralsetinib is an oral receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The chemical name for pralsetinib is (cis)-N-((S)-1-(6-(4-fluoro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl)ethyl)-1-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-6-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)pyrimidin-2-yl)cyclohexanecarboxamide. The molecular formula for pralsetinib is C₂₇H₃₂FN₉O₂, and the molecular weight is 533.61 g/mol. Pralsetinib has the following structure:

The solubility of pralsetinib in aqueous media decreases over the range pH 1.99 to pH 7.64 from 0.880 mg/mL to < 0.001 mg/mL, indicating a decrease in solubility with increasing pH.

GAVRETO (pralsetinib) is supplied for oral use as immediate release hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) hard capsules containing 100 mg pralsetinib. The capsules also contain inactive ingredients:

citric acid, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), pregelatinized starch and sodium bicarbonate. The capsule shell consists of FD&C Blue #1 (Brilliant Blue FCF), hypromellose and titanium dioxide. The white printing ink contains butyl alcohol, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, purified water, shellac, strong ammonia solution and titanium dioxide.

12clinical Pharmacology

12.1Mechanism of Action

Pralsetinib is a kinase inhibitor of wild-type RET and oncogenic RET fusions (CCDC6-RET) and mutations (RET V804L, RET V804M and RET M918T) with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC_50s) less than 0.5 nM. In purified enzyme assays, pralsetinib inhibited DDR1, TRKC, FLT3, JAK1-2, TRKA, VEGFR2, PDGFRB, and FGFR1 at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable at C_max. In cellular assays, pralsetinib inhibited RET at approximately 14-, 40-, and 12-fold lower concentrations than VEGFR2, FGFR2, and JAK2, respectively.

Certain RET fusion proteins and activating point mutations can drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Pralsetinib exhibited anti-tumor activity in cultured cells and animal tumor implantation models harboring oncogenic RET fusions or mutations including KIF5B-RET, CCDC6-RET, RET M918T, RET C634W, RET V804E, RET V804L and RET V804M. In addition, pralsetinib prolonged survival in mice implanted intracranially with tumor models expressing KIF5B-RET or CCDC6-RET.

12.2Pharmacodynamics

Pralsetinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response have not been fully characterized.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

The QT interval prolongation potential of pralsetinib was assessed in 34 patients with RET -altered solid tumors administered GAVRETO at the recommended dosage. No large mean increase in QTc (> 20 ms) was detected in the study.

12.3Pharmacokinetics

At 400 mg GAVRETO once daily under fasting conditions, the steady state mean [% coefficient of variation (CV%)] of maximum observed plasma concentration (C_max) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC_0-24h) of pralsetinib was 2,470 (55%) ng/mL and 36,700 (66%) h•ng/mL, respectively. Pralsetinib C_max and AUC increased inconsistently over the dose range of 60 mg to 600 mg once daily (0.15 to 1.5 times the recommended dose). Pralsetinib plasma concentrations reached steady state by 3 to 5 days. The mean accumulation ratio was approximately 2-fold after once-daily oral administration.

Absorption

The median time to peak concentration (T_max) ranged from 2 to 4 hours following single doses of pralsetinib 60 mg to 600 mg.

Food Effect

Following administration of a single dose of 200 mg with a high-fat meal, (approximately 800 to 1000 calories with 50 to 60% of calories from fat), the mean C_max of pralsetinib was increased by 2.0-fold, the mean AUC_0-INF was increased by 2.2-fold, and the median T_max was delayed from 4 to 8.5 hours, compared to the fasted state.

Distribution

The mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) of pralsetinib is 303 L (68%). Protein binding of pralsetinib is 97% and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma ratio is 0.6 to 0.7.

Elimination

The mean (±standard deviation) plasma elimination half-life (T_½) of pralsetinib is 16 hours (10) following single doses and 20 hours (12) following multiple doses of pralsetinib. The mean (CV%) apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of pralsetinib is 11 L/h (66%) at steady state.

Metabolism

Pralsetinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2D6 and CYP1A2, in vitro. Following a single oral dose of 310 mg of radiolabeled pralsetinib, pralsetinib metabolites from oxidation and glucuronidation were detected as 5% or less.

Excretion

Approximately 73% (66% as unchanged) of the total administered radioactive dose [¹⁴C] pralsetinib was recovered in feces and 6% (4.8% as unchanged) was recovered in urine.

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the PK of pralsetinib were observed based on age (19 to 87 years), sex, race (White, Black, or Asian), and body weight (32 to 128 kg). Mild and moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 - 89 mL/min) had no effect on the exposure of pralsetinib. Pralsetinib has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr < 15 mL/min).

Drug Interaction Studies

Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approach

In Vitro Studies

13nonclinical Toxicology

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies with pralsetinib have not been conducted. Pralsetinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay with or without metabolic activation and was not clastogenic in either an in vitro micronucleus assay in TK6 cells or an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus assay in rats.

In a dedicated fertility and early embryonic development study conducted in treated male rats mated to treated female rats, although pralsetinib did not have clear effects on male or female mating performance or ability to become pregnant, at the 20 mg/kg dose level (approximately 2.9 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg based on toxicokinetic data from the 13-week rat toxicology study) 82% of female rats had totally resorbed litters, with 92% post-implantation loss (early resorptions); post-implantation loss occurred at doses as low as 5 mg/kg (approximately 0.35 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg based on toxicokinetic data from the 13-week rat toxicology study). In a separate fertility and early embryonic development study in which male rats administered 20 mg/kg pralsetinib were mated to untreated female rats, there were no clear pralsetinib-related effects on intrauterine survival of embryos or on male reproductive performance at a dose approximately 1.7 times the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 400 mg. In a 13-week repeat-dose toxicology study, male rats exhibited histopathological evidence of tubular degeneration/atrophy in the testis with secondary cellular debris and reduced sperm in the lumen of the epididymis, which correlated with lower mean testis and epididymis weights and gross observations of soft and small testis. Female rats exhibited degeneration of the corpus luteum in the ovary. For both sexes, these effects were observed at pralsetinib doses ≥ 10 mg/kg/day, approximately 1 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg.

13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

In 28-day rat and monkey toxicology studies, once daily oral administration of pralsetinib resulted in histologic necrosis and hemorrhage in the heart of preterm decedents at exposures ≥ 1.3 times and ≥ 3.1 times, respectively, the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg. Pralsetinib induced hyperphosphatemia (rats) and multi-organ mineralization (rats and monkeys) in 13-week toxicology studies at exposures approximately 2.8 times and ≥ 0.13 times, respectively, the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 400 mg.

14clinical Studies

14.1Metastatic Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The efficacy of GAVRETO was evaluated in patients with RET fusion-positive metastatic NSCLC in a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (ARROW, NCT03037385). The study enrolled, in separate cohorts, patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC who had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy and treatment-naïve patients with metastatic NSCLC. Identification of a RET gene fusion was determined by local laboratories using next generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and other tests. Among the 237 patients in the efficacy population(s) described in this section, samples from 40% of patients were retrospectively tested with the LIFE Technologies Corporation Oncomine Dx Target Test (ODxTT). Patients with asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, including patients with stable or decreasing steroid use within 2 weeks prior to study entry, were enrolled. Patients received GAVRETO 400 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), as assessed by a blinded independent central review (BICR) according to RECIST v1.1.

Metastatic RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum Chemotherapy

Efficacy was evaluated in 130 patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC with measurable disease who were previously treated with platinum chemotherapy enrolled into a cohort of ARROW.

The median age was 59 years (range: 26 to 85); 51% were female, 40% were White, 50% were Asian, 4.6% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (95%) or 2 (3.8%), 99% of patients had metastatic disease, and 41% had either a history of or current CNS metastasis. Patients received a median of 2 prior systemic therapies (range 1–6); 42% had prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and 27% had prior kinase inhibitors. A total of 48% of the patients received prior radiation therapy. RET fusions were detected in 80% of patients using NGS (37% tumor samples; 15% blood or plasma samples, 28% unknown), 13% using FISH, and 2% using other methods. The most common RET fusion partners were KIF5B (70%) and CCDC6 (19%).

Efficacy results for RET fusion-positive NSCLC patients who received prior platinum-based chemotherapy are summarized in Table 10.

For the 54 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 59% (95% CI: 45, 72) and the median DOR was 22.3 months (95% CI: 8.0, NE).

Among the 130 patients with RET-fusion positive NSCLC, 10 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BICR. No patients received radiation therapy (RT) to the brain within 2 months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 7 of these 10 patients including 2 patients with a CNS complete response; 71% of responders had a DOR of ≥ 6 months.

Treatment-naïve RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC

Efficacy was evaluated in 107 patients with treatment-naïve RET fusion-positive NSCLC with measurable disease enrolled into ARROW.

The median age was 62 years (range 30 to 87); 53% were female, 49% were White, 45% were Asian, and 2.8% were Hispanic or Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 for 99% of the patients and 98% of patients had metastatic disease; 28% had either history of or current CNS metastasis. RET fusions were detected in 68% of patients using NGS (30% tumor samples; 17% blood or plasma; 22% unknown) and 19% using FISH. The most common RET fusion partners were KIF5B (71%) and CCDC6 (18%).

14.2 Fusion-Positive Thyroid Cancer

The efficacy of GAVRETO was evaluated in RET fusion-positive metastatic thyroid cancer patients in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (ARROW, NCT03037385). All patients with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer were required to have disease progression following standard therapy, measurable disease by RECIST version 1.1, and have RET fusion status as detected by local testing (89% NGS tumor samples and 11% using FISH).

The median age was 61 years (range: 46 to 74); 67% were male, 78% were White, 22% were Asian, 11% were Hispanic/Latino. All patients (100%) had papillary thyroid cancer. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (100%), all patients (100%) had metastatic disease, and 56% had a history of CNS metastases. Patients had received a median of 2 prior therapies (range 1-8). Prior systemic treatments included prior radioactive iodine (100%) and prior sorafenib and/or lenvatinib (56%).

What is GAVRETO?

GAVRETO is a prescription medicine used to treat certain cancers caused by abnormal rearranged during transfection (RET) genes in:

adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread.

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.

Your healthcare provider will perform a test to make sure that GAVRETO is right for you.

It is not known if GAVRETO is safe and effective when used to treat cancers caused by abnormal RET genes:

in children for the treatment of NSCLC or

in children younger than 12 years of age for the treatment of thyroid cancer.

Before taking GAVRETO, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

have lung or breathing problems other than lung cancer

have high blood pressure

have bleeding problems

have liver problems

plan to have surgery. You should stop taking GAVRETO at least 5 days before your planned surgery. See "What are the possible side effects of GAVRETO?"

are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. GAVRETO can harm your unborn baby. Females who are able to become pregnant:

Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with GAVRETO.

You should use an effective form of non-hormonal birth control (contraception) during treatment and for 2 weeks after your last dose of GAVRETO.

Birth control methods that contain hormones (such as birth control pills, injections or transdermal system patches) may not work as well during treatment with GAVRETO.

Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that may be right for you during this time.

Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you might be pregnant during treatment with GAVRETO.
