5 Warnings And Precautions


  • Hepatotoxicity: Monitor ALT and AST prior to initiating RETEVMO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity. (2.5, 5.1)
  • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity. (2.5, 5.2)
  • Hypertension: Do not initiate RETEVMO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure (BP) prior to initiating RETEVMO. Monitor BP after 1 week, at least monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity. (2.5, 5.3)
  • QT Interval Prolongation: Monitor patients who are at significant risk of developing QTc prolongation. Assess QT interval, electrolytes and TSH at baseline and periodically during treatment. Monitor QT interval more frequently when RETEVMO is concomitantly administered with strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors or drugs known to prolong QTc interval. Withhold and dose reduce or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity. (2.5, 5.4)
  • Hemorrhagic Events: Permanently discontinue RETEVMO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage. (2.5, 5.5)
  • Hypersensitivity: Withhold RETEVMO and initiate corticosteroids. Upon resolution, resume at a reduced dose and increase dose by 1 dose level each week until reaching the dose taken prior to onset of hypersensitivity. Continue steroids until patient reaches target dose and then taper. (2.5, 5.6)
  • Tumor Lysis Syndrome: Closely monitor patients at risk and treat as clinically indicated. (5.7)
  • Risk of Impaired Wound Healing: Withhold RETEVMO for at least 7 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 RETEVMO after resolution of wound healing complications has not been established. (5.8)
  • Hypothyroidism: Monitor thyroid function before treatment with RETEVMO and periodically during treatment. Withhold until clinically stable or permanently discontinue based on severity. (5.9)
  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the possible risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. (5.10, 8.1, 8.3)
  • Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis/Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE/SUFE) in Pediatric Patients: Monitor patients for symptoms indicative of SCFE/SUFE and treat as medically and surgically appropriate (5.11, 6.1)

5.1 Hepatotoxicity


Serious hepatic adverse reactions occurred in 3% of patients treated with RETEVMO. Increased AST occurred in 59% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 events in 11% and increased ALT occurred in 55% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 events in 12% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The median time to first onset for increased AST was 6 weeks (range: 1 day to 3.4 years) and increased ALT was 5.8 weeks (range: 1 day to 2.5 years).

Monitor ALT and AST prior to initiating RETEVMO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce 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 1.8% of patients who received RETEVMO, including 0.3% with Grade 3 or 4 events, and 0.3% 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 dose or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity of confirmed ILD [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.3 Hypertension


Hypertension occurred in 41% of patients, including Grade 3 hypertension in 20% and Grade 4 in one (0.1%) patient [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Overall, 6.3% had their dose interrupted and 1.3% had their dose reduced for hypertension. Treatment-emergent hypertension was most commonly managed with anti-hypertension medications.

Do not initiate RETEVMO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure prior to initiating RETEVMO. 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 RETEVMO based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.4 QT Interval Prolongation


RETEVMO can cause concentration-dependent QT interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. An increase in QTcF interval to >500 ms was measured in 7% of patients and an increase in the QTcF interval of at least 60 ms over baseline was measured in 20% 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 dose reduce or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.5 Hemorrhagic Events


Serious including fatal hemorrhagic events can occur with RETEVMO. Grade ≥3 hemorrhagic events occurred in 3.1% of patients treated with RETEVMO, including 4 (0.5%) patients with fatal hemorrhagic events, including cerebral hemorrhage (n = 2), tracheostomy site hemorrhage (n = 1), and hemoptysis (n=1).

Permanently discontinue RETEVMO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.6 Hypersensitivity


Hypersensitivity occurred in 6% of patients receiving RETEVMO, including Grade 3 hypersensitivity in 1.9%. The median time to onset was 1.9 weeks (range: 5 days to 2 years). Signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity included fever, rash and arthralgias or myalgias with concurrent decreased platelets or transaminitis.

If hypersensitivity occurs, withhold RETEVMO and begin corticosteroids at a dose of 1 mg/kg prednisone (or equivalent). Upon resolution of the event, resume RETEVMO at a reduced dose and increase the dose of RETEVMO by 1 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 0.6% of patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma receiving RETEVMO [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.

5.8 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 7 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 RETEVMO after resolution of wound healing complications has not been established.

5.9 Hypothyroidism


RETEVMO can cause hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurred in 13% of patients treated with RETEVMO; all reactions were Grade 1 or 2. Hypothyroidism occurred in 13% of patients (50/373) with thyroid cancer and 13% of patients (53/423) with other solid tumors including NSCLC [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Monitor thyroid function before treatment with RETEVMO and periodically during treatment. Treat with thyroid hormone replacement as clinically indicated. Withhold RETEVMO until clinically stable or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.10 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity


Based on data from animal reproduction studies and its mechanism of action, RETEVMO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Administration of selpercatinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to those observed at the recommended human dose of 160 mg twice daily resulted in embryolethality and malformations.

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

5.11 Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis/Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis in Pediatric Patients


Slipped capital femoral epiphysis/slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SCFE/SUFE) occurred in 1 adolescent (3.7% of 27 patients) receiving RETEVMO in LIBRETTO-121 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor patients for symptoms indicative of SCFE/SUFE and treat as medically and surgically appropriate [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

The safety population described below reflects exposure to RETEVMO as a single agent at 92 mg/m2 orally twice daily evaluated in 27 patients with advanced solid tumors harboring an activating RET alteration in LIBRETTO-121 [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Among the 27 pediatric and adolescent patients who received RETEVMO, 81% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 59% were exposed for greater than one year.

The median age was 13 years (range: 2 to 20 years); 22% were pediatric patients 2 to 12 years of age; 59% were male; and 52% were White, 26% were Asian, and 11% were Black or African American; and 19% were Hispanic/Latino. The most common cancers were MTC (52%), and papillary thyroid cancer (37%).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 22% of patients who received RETEVMO. The serious adverse reactions (in 1 patient each) were abdominal infection, abdominal pain, aspiration, constipation, diarrhea, epiphysiolysis, nausea, pneumonia, pneumatosis intestinalis, rhinovirus infection, sepsis, vomiting.

Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 22% of patients who received RETEVMO. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in ≥5% of patients included decreased neutrophils.

Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 15% of patients who received RETEVMO. Adverse reactions requiring dosage reductions in ≥2% of patients included decreased neutrophils, increased ALT, and increased weight.

The most common adverse reactions (≥25%) were musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, headache, nausea, vomiting, coronavirus infection, abdominal pain, fatigue, pyrexia, and hemorrhage.

The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥5%) were decreased calcium, decreased hemoglobin, and decreased neutrophils.

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.

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)

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).

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 2 years of age and older for the treatment of:
  • advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with a RET mutation who require systemic therapy
  • advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer with a RET gene fusion who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate)
  • locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a 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 2 years of age 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 predicted 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 less than 2 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 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 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.

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)].

11 Description


RETEVMO contains selpercatinib, a kinase inhibitor. The molecular formula for selpercatinib is C29H31N7O3 and the molecular weight is 525.61 g/mol. The chemical name is 6-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropoxy)-4-(6-(6-((6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methyl)-3,6-diazabicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-3-yl)pyridin-3-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-carbonitrile. Selpercatinib has the following chemical structure:

Selpercatinib is a white to light yellow powder that is slightly hygroscopic. The aqueous solubility of selpercatinib is pH dependent, from sparingly soluble at low pH to practically insoluble at neutral pH.

RETEVMO capsules contain either 40 mg or 80 mg of selpercatinib in hard gelatin capsules for oral use. Each capsule contains inactive ingredients of colloidal silicon dioxide and microcrystalline cellulose. The 40 mg capsule shell is composed of gelatin, titanium dioxide, ferric oxide black and black ink. The 80 mg capsule shell is composed of gelatin, titanium dioxide, FD&C blue #1 and black ink. The black ink is composed of shellac, potassium hydroxide and ferric oxide black.

RETEVMO tablets contain 40 mg, 80 mg, 120 mg or 160 mg of selpercatinib as film coated, debossed tablets for oral use. Each tablet contains inactive ingredients of croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium stearyl fumarate. The tablet film coating material contains polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, and talc. Additionally, the film coating of the 40 mg, 80 mg, and 120 mg tablets contains ferrosoferric oxide and the film coating of the 80 mg, 120 mg, and 160 mg tablets contain ferric oxide.

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 IC50 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 (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 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%)] Cmax was 2,980 (53%) ng/mL and AUC0-24h was 51,600 (58%) ng*h/mL.


Absorption

The median tmax of selpercatinib is 2 hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of RETEVMO capsules is 73% (60% to 82%) in healthy subjects.


Effect of Food

For both the capsule and tablet dosage forms no clinically significant differences in selpercatinib AUC or Cmax 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 (Vss/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 (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 patients

The exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients are predicted to be comparable to those in adult patients administered at the recommended dosages.


Patients with Hepatic Impairment

The selpercatinib AUC0-INF increased 1.07 fold, 1.32 fold, and 1.77 fold 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 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 10).
Table 10: 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 meal1 + PPI ↑ 2% ↓ 49%
RETEVMO with a low-fat meal2 + 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 AUC0-INF 2.33 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 1.99 fold and Cmax 1.46 to 1.76 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 2.88 fold and Cmax 1.91 fold.

CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) increased the midazolam AUC0-INF 1.54 fold and Cmax 1.39 fold.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with dabigatran (P-gp substrate) increased the dabigatran AUC0-INF 1.38 fold and Cmax 1.43 fold.

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.

13 Nonclinical Toxicology


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 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 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).

14 Clinical Studies


14.1 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 or African American, 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 11.

PATIENT INFORMATION
RETEVMO ® (reh-TEHV-moh) (selpercatinib)capsules RETEVMO ® (reh-TEHV-moh) (selpercatinib)tablets
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 2 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 2 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 and children 2 years of age and older 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 2 years of age for the treatment of:
    • advanced MTC or MTC that has spread who require a medicine by mouth or injection.
    • advanced thyroid cancer or thyroid cancer that has spread who require a medicine by mouth or injection, and have received radioactive iodine and it did not work or is no longer working.
    • locally advanced solid tumors or solid tumors that have spread, and have gotten worse on or after other treatment or there are no satisfactory treatment options.
  • in children for other conditions.
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. During treatment with RETEVMO, you should avoid taking:
  • St. John's wort
  • proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as dexlansoprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole sodium, and rabeprazole
  • H2 blockers, such as famotidine, nizatidine, and cimetidine
  • antacids that contain aluminum, magnesium, calcium, simethicone, or buffered medicines
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 ul 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.
  • Swallow RETEVMO capsules and tablets whole. Do not crush or chew.
  • Do not give RETEVMO capsule to your child if they are unable to swallow a capsule.
  • 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 H2 blocker (such as famotidine, nizatidine, and cimetidine), take RETEVMO 2 hours before or 10 hours after taking the H2 blocker.
  • 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 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) can happen during treatment 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

    • 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.
