Get your patient on Augtyro (Repotrectinib)

AUGTYRO is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1 -positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] .

AUGTYRO is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with solid tumors that:

• have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase ( NTRK ) gene fusion [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 )] ,
• are locally advanced or metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and
• have progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response [see Clinical Studies (14.2 )] . Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

NSCLC

Select patients for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with AUGTYRO based on the presence of ROS1 rearrangement(s) in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . An FDA-approved test to detect ROS1 rearrangements for selecting patients for treatment with AUGTYRO is not currently available.

Solid Tumors

Select patients for the treatment of solid tumors with AUGTYRO based on the presence of NTRK1/2/3 rearrangements in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.2 )] . An FDA-approved test to detect NTRK1/2/3 rearrangements for selecting patients for treatment with AUGTYRO is not currently available.

• In patients with secretory breast cancer or mammary analogue secretory cancer, consider treatment without confirmation of NTRK rearrangements in tumor specimens.

Prior to initiating AUGTYRO, discontinue strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives of the CYP3A inhibitor [see Drug Interactions (7.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

Prior to initiation of AUGTYRO, evaluate:

• liver function tests including bilirubin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]
• uric acid level [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]

The recommended dosage of AUGTYRO for adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older is 160 mg taken orally once daily with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] for 14 days, then increase to 160 mg twice daily and continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The recommended dosage reductions of AUGTYRO for the management of adverse reactions are provided in Table 1.

Recommended dosage modifications of AUGTYRO for the management of adverse reactions are provided in Table 2.

Take AUGTYRO at approximately the same time each day with or without food [see Pharmacokinetics (12.3) ].

Swallow AUGTYRO capsules whole. Do not open, chew, crush, or dissolve the capsule prior to swallowing. Do not take any AUGTYRO capsules that are broken, cracked, or damaged.

If a dose of AUGTYRO is missed or if vomiting occurs at any time after taking a dose, skip the dose and resume AUGTYRO at its regularly scheduled time.

Risk Summary

Based on literature reports in humans with congenital mutations leading to changes in TRK signaling, findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ], AUGTYRO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on AUGTYRO use in pregnant women. Oral administration of repotrectinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in fetal malformations at doses approximately 0.3 times the recommended dose of 160 mg twice daily based on BSA (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% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Data

Human Data

Published reports of individuals with congenital mutations in TRK pathway proteins suggest that decreases in TRK-mediated signaling are correlated with obesity, developmental delays, cognitive impairment, insensitivity to pain, and anhidrosis.

Animal Data

In an embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of repotrectinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 17 resulted in maternal effects of increased body weight and skin abrasions/ulcerations at doses ≥6 mg/kg, fetal malformations of malrotated hindlimbs and lower fetal body weights at doses ≥12 mg/kg [approximately 0.3 times the recommended dose of 160 mg twice daily based on BSA]. No embryolethality was observed.

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of AUGTYRO in human milk or its effects on either the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children from AUGTYRO, advise a lactating woman to discontinue breastfeeding during treatment with AUGTYRO and for 10 days after the last dose.

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

Pregnancy Testing

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

Contraception

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

Females

Advise females of childbearing potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with AUGTYRO and for 2 months following the last dose. AUGTYRO can render some hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ].

Males

Based on genotoxicity findings, advise male patients with female partners of childbearing potential to use effective contraception during treatment with AUGTYRO and for 4 months following the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] .

The safety and effectiveness of AUGTYRO in pediatric patients with ROS1 -positive NSCLC have not been established.

The safety and effectiveness of AUGTYRO have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age with solid tumors who have an NTRK gene fusion.

The safety and effectiveness of AUGTYRO for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NTRK -positive solid tumors have been established in pediatric patients 12 years of age or older. Use of AUGTYRO in this age group is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study in adult patients with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. This includes data demonstrating that the exposure of repotrectinib in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older is expected to result in similar safety and efficacy to that of adults, and that the course of locally advanced or metastatic NTRK -positive solid tumors is sufficiently similar in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age or older to allow extrapolation of data in adult to pediatric patients 12 years of age or older [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.7) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Juvenile Animal Data

Daily oral administration of repotrectinib to juvenile rats for 8 weeks starting on postnatal day 12 (approximately equal to a human pediatric age of a newborn) resulted in toxicities similar to those observed in adult rats, though juvenile animals showed decreased body weight gain at doses ≥1 mg/kg (approximately ≥0.04 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 160 mg BID) and decreased femur lengths at 3 mg/kg (approximately 0.1 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 160 mg BID). Decreased body weight gain and decreased femur lengths persisted following 4 weeks of recovery.

Of the 426 patients who received AUGTYRO, in the TRIDENT-1 study for ROS1 -positive non-small cell lung cancer or NTRK gene fusion-positive solid tumors, 19% were 65 to 75 years old, and 6% were 75 years of age or older. There were no clinically meaningful differences in safety and efficacy between patients younger than 65 years of age and patients 65 years of age or older.

The recommended dosage of AUGTYRO has not been established in patients with severe renal impairment or kidney failure (eGFR <30 mL/min) and patients on dialysis [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 90 mL/min).

The recommended dosage of AUGTYRO has not been established in patients with moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times upper limit of normal [ULN] with any AST) or severe (total bilirubin >3 times ULN with any AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN or AST > ULN) hepatic impairment.

AUGTYRO can cause central nervous system adverse reactions.

Among the 426 patients who received AUGTYRO in Study TRIDENT-1, a broad spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions including dizziness, ataxia, and cognitive disorders occurred in 77% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 events occurring in 4.5% of patients.

Dizziness, including vertigo, occurred in 65% of patients; Grade 3 dizziness occurred in 2.8% of patients. The median time to onset was 7 days (1 day to 1.4 years). Dose interruption was required in 9% of patients, and 11% required dose reduction of AUGTYRO due to dizziness.

Ataxia, including gait disturbance and balance disorder, occurred in 28% of patients; Grade 3 ataxia occurred in 0.5% of patients. The median time to onset was 15 days (1 day to 1.4 years). Dose interruption was required in 5% of patients, 8% required dose reduction, and one patient (0.2%) permanently discontinued AUGTYRO due to ataxia.

Cognitive impairment, including memory impairment and disturbance in attention, occurred in 25% of patients. Cognitive impairment included memory impairment (15%), disturbance in attention (12%), and confusional state (2%); Grade 3 cognitive impairment occurred in 0.9% of patients. The median time to onset of cognitive disorders was 37 days (1 day to 1.4 years). Dose interruption was required in 2% of patients, 2.1% required dose reduction, and 0.5% patients permanently discontinued AUGTYRO due to cognitive adverse reactions.

Mood disorders occurred in 6% of patients. Mood disorders occurring in > 1% of patients included anxiety (2.6%); Grade 4 mood disorders (mania) occurred in 0.2% of patients. Dose interruption was required in 0.2% of patients and 0.2% of patients required a dose reduction due to mood disorders.

Sleep disorders including insomnia and hypersomnia occurred in 18% of patients. Sleep disorders observed in > 1% of patients were somnolence (9%), insomnia (6%) and hypersomnia (1.6%). Dose interruption was required in 0.7% of patients, and 0.2% of patients required a dose reduction due to sleep disorders.

The incidences of CNS adverse reactions observed were similar in patients with and without CNS metastases.

Advise patients and caregivers of the risk of CNS adverse reactions with AUGTYRO. Advise patients not to drive or use machines if they are experiencing CNS adverse reactions. Withhold and then resume at same or reduced dose upon improvement, or permanently discontinue AUGTYRO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .

AUGTYRO can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis.

Among the 426 patients treated with AUGTYRO, ILD/pneumonitis (pneumonitis [2.8%] and ILD [0.2%]) occurred in 3.1% of patients; Grade 3 ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 1.2% of patients. The median time to onset was 45 days (19 days to 0.9 years). Dose interruption was required in 1.4% of patients, 0.5% of patients required dose reduction, and 1.1% of patients permanently discontinued AUGTYRO due to ILD/pneumonitis.

Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Immediately withhold AUGTYRO in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue AUGTYRO if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .

AUGTYRO can cause hepatotoxicity.

Among the 426 patients treated with AUGTYRO, increased alanine transaminase (ALT) occurred in 38%, increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 41%, including Grade 3 or 4 increased ALT in 3.3% and increased AST in 2.9%. The median time to onset of increased ALT or AST was 15 days (range: 1 day to 1.9 years). Increased ALT or AST leading to dose interruptions or reductions occurred in 2.8% and 1.2% of patients, respectively. Hyperbilirubinemia leading to dose interruptions occurred in 0.5%.

Monitor liver function tests, including ALT, AST and bilirubin, every 2 weeks during the first month of treatment, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold and then resume at the same or reduced dose upon improvement, or permanently discontinue AUGTYRO based on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ].

AUGTYRO can cause myalgia with or without creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevation.

Among the 426 patients treated with AUGTYRO, myalgia occurred in 13% of patients, with Grade 3 in 0.7%. Median time to onset of myalgia was 19 days (range: 1 day to 2 years). Concurrent increased CPK within a 7-day window was observed in 3.7% of patients. AUGTYRO was interrupted in one patient with myalgia and concurrent CPK elevation.

Advise patients to report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.

Monitor serum CPK levels during AUGTYRO treatment and monitor CPK levels every 2 weeks during the first month of treatment and as needed in patients reporting unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. Initiate supportive care as clinically indicated. Based on severity, withhold and then resume AUGTYRO at the same or reduced dose upon improvement [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ].

AUGTYRO can cause hyperuricemia.

Among the 426 patients treated with AUGTYRO, 21 patients (5%) experienced hyperuricemia reported as an adverse reaction and 0.7% of patients experienced Grade 3 or 4 hyperuricemia. One patient without pre-existing gout required urate-lowering medication.

Monitor serum uric acid levels prior to initiating AUGTYRO and periodically during treatment. Initiate treatment with urate-lowering medications as clinically indicated. Withhold and then resume at the same or reduced dose upon improvement, or permanently discontinue AUGTYRO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ].

AUGTYRO can cause skeletal fractures.

Among 426 adult patients who received AUGTYRO, fractures occurred in 2.3%. Fractures involved the ribs (0.5%), feet (0.5%), spine (0.2%), acetabulum (0.2%), sternum (0.2%), and ankles (0.2%). Some fractures occurred at sites of disease and prior radiation therapy. The median time to fracture was 71 days (range: 31 days to 1.4 years). AUGTYRO was interrupted in 0.3% of patients.

Of 26 evaluable patients in an ongoing open-label study in pediatric patients, fractures occurred in one 12-year-old patient (ankle/foot) and one 10-year-old patient (stress fracture). AUGTYRO was interrupted in both patients. AUGTYRO is not approved for use in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age [see Pediatric Use (8.4) ] .

Promptly evaluate patients with signs or symptoms (e.g., pain, changes in mobility, deformity) of fractures. There are no data on the effects of AUGTYRO on healing of known fractures and risk of future fractures.

Based on literature reports in humans with congenital mutations leading to changes in tropomyosin receptor tyrosine kinase (TRK) signaling, findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action, AUGTYRO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

Oral administration of repotrectinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in fetal malformations at doses approximately 0.3 times the recommended 160 mg twice daily dose based on body surface area (BSA).

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with AUGTYRO and for 2 months following the last dose, since AUGTYRO can render some hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ] . Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with AUGTYRO and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates reported in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to AUGTYRO in 426 patients with ROS1 -positive NSCLC (n=320), NTRK1/2/3 -positive solid tumors (n=104), or other solid tumors (n=2) in TRIDENT-1. Patients received AUGTYRO at a dose of 160 mg orally once daily for the first 14 days, then increased to 160 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies (14.1 ), (14.2 )] . Eligible patients had an ECOG status of ≤1. Patients with a history of ILD, drug-related pneumonitis, significant, uncontrolled, active cardiovascular disease, or prolonged QTc interval were excluded from enrollment in this trial. Forty-eight percent of patients were exposed to AUGTYRO for at least 6 months, and 28% were exposed for greater than 1 year.

The median age of patients who received AUGTYRO was 57 years (range: 18 to 93); 59% female; 43% White, 47% Asian, 2.8% Black, 0.5% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 0.5% American Indian or Alaska Native, 6.1% race not reported or other, and 0.7% unknown.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 35% of patients who received AUGTYRO. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients included pneumonia (6.3%), dyspnea (3.1%), pleural effusion (2.8%), and hypoxia (2.6%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.5% of patients who received AUGTYRO, including pneumonia, pneumonia aspiration, cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac death, cardiac failure, hypoxia, dyspnea, respiratory failure, tremor, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Permanent discontinuation of AUGTYRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 7% of patients. There were no specific adverse reactions that accounted for ≥1% of permanent discontinuations.

Dosage interruptions of AUGTYRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 50% of patients. Adverse reactions that required dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients were dizziness, dyspnea, muscular weakness, ataxia, pneumonia, peripheral neuropathy, anemia, and vomiting.

Dose reductions of AUGTYRO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 38% of patients. Adverse reactions that required dosage reductions in ≥2% of patients included dizziness, ataxia, muscular weakness, peripheral neuropathy, and cognitive impairment.

The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions that occurred in patients receiving AUGTYRO were dizziness, dysgeusia, peripheral neuropathy, constipation, dyspnea, fatigue, ataxia, cognitive impairment, muscular weakness and nausea.

Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in TRIDENT-1.

Clinically relevant adverse reactions occurring in <10% of patients receiving AUGTYRO were pyrexia (9.2%) and fall (3.8%).

Table 4 summarizes the laboratory abnormalities in TRIDENT-1.

Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors

Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. Concomitant use of AUGTYRO with a strong or a moderate CYP3A inhibitor may increase repotrectinib exposure, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of AUGTYRO. Discontinue CYP3A inhibitors for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives of the CYP3A inhibitor prior to initiating AUGTYRO [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

P-gp Inhibitors

Avoid concomitant use with P-gp inhibitors. Concomitant use of AUGTYRO with a P-gp inhibitor may increase repotrectinib exposure, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of AUGTYRO [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers

Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Concomitant use of AUGTYRO with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer may decrease repotrectinib plasma concentrations, which may decrease efficacy of AUGTYRO [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Certain CYP3A4 Substrates

Avoid concomitant use unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for CYP3A substrates, where minimal concentration changes can cause reduced efficacy. If concomitant use is unavoidable, increase the CYP3A4 substrate dosage in accordance with approved product labeling.

Repotrectinib is a CYP3A4 inducer. Concomitant use of repotrectinib decreases the concentration of CYP3A4 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which can reduce the efficacy of these substrates.

Contraceptives

Repotrectinib is a CYP3A4 inducer, which can decrease progestin or estrogen exposure to an extent that could reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.

Avoid concomitant use of AUGTYRO with hormonal contraceptives [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use an effective nonhormonal contraceptive [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .

Repotrectinib is an inhibitor of proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS1 (ROS1) and of the tropomyosin receptor tyrosine kinases (TRKs) TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC.

Fusion proteins that include ROS1 or TRK domains can drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to unconstrained cell proliferation. Repotrectinib exhibited anti-tumor activity in cultured cells expressing ROS1 fusions and mutations including SDC4-ROS1, SDC4-ROS1 ^G2032R , CD74-ROS1, CD74-ROS1 ^G2032R , CD74-ROS1 ^D2033N , and CD74-ROS1 ^L2026M . Repotrectinib also inhibited cell proliferation in cultured cells expressing NTRK fusions and mutations including LMNA-TRKA, LMNA-TRKA ^G595R , EVT6-TRKB ^G639R , and ETV6-TRKC ^G623R .

Repotrectinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic responses are not fully characterized.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

AUGTYRO does not cause a mean increase in the QTc interval > 20 milliseconds (ms) at 160 mg QD followed by 160 mg BID, the approved recommended dosage.

The geometric mean (CV%) of repotrectinib steady state peak concentration (C _max,ss ) is 713 (32.5%) ng/mL and the area under the time concentration curve (AUC _0-24h,ss ) is 7210 (40.1%) ng•h/mL following the approved recommended twice daily dosage in patients with cancer. Repotrectinib C _max and AUC _0-inf increases approximately dose proportional (but less than linear with estimated slopes of 0.78 and 0.70, respectively) over the single dose range of 40 mg to 240 mg (0.25 to 1.5 times the approved recommended dosage). Steady state PK was time-dependent with an autoinduction of CYP3A4. Steady state is achieved within 14 days of daily administration of 160 mg.

Absorption

The geometric mean (CV%) absolute bioavailability of repotrectinib is 45.7% (19.6%). Peak repotrectinib concentration occurred at approximately 2 to 3 hours post a single oral dose of 40 mg to 240 mg (0.25 to 1.5 times the approved recommended dosage) under fasted conditions.

Effect of Food

No clinically significant differences in repotrectinib pharmacokinetics were observed in patients with cancer following administration of a high-fat meal (approximately 800-1000 calories, 50% fat).

Distribution

The geometric mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) was 432 L (55.9 %) in patients with cancer following a single 160 mg oral dose of AUGTYRO.

AUGTYRO binding to plasma protein was 95.4% in vitro . The blood-to-plasma ratio was 0.56 in vitro .

Elimination

Repotrectinib elimination is time-dependent due to autoinduction of CYP3A4.

The repotrectinib mean terminal half-life is approximately 60.7 h for patients with cancer following a single dose. The steady state repotrectinib terminal half-life is approximately 40.3 h for patients with cancer.

The geometric mean (CV%) apparent oral clearance (CL/F) was 15.9 L/h (45.5%) in patients with cancer following a single 160 mg oral dose of AUGTYRO.

Metabolism

Repotrectinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 followed by secondary glucuronidation.

Excretion

Following a single oral 160 mg dose of radiolabeled repotrectinib, 4.84% (0.56% as unchanged) was recovered in urine and 88.8% (50.6% unchanged) in feces.

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of repotrectinib were observed based on age (12 to 93 years), sex, race (White 50%, Asian 38%, Black 7%), mild to moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to < 90 mL/min), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN or AST > ULN). The effect of moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN with any AST) or severe (total bilirubin >3 x ULN with any AST) hepatic impairment, severe renal impairment, kidney failure (eGFR < 30 mL/min), or dialysis on repotrectinib pharmacokinetics is unknown or not fully characterized.

Drug Interaction Studies

Clinical Studies

Strong CYP3A and P-gp inhibitors: Repotrectinib AUC _0-inf increased by 5.9-fold and C _max by 1.7-fold following concomitant use with itraconazole (strong CYP3A and P-gp inhibitor).

Strong CYP3A and P-gp inducers: Repotrectinib AUC _0-inf decreased by 92% and C _max by 79% following concomitant use with rifampin (strong CYP3A and P-gp inducer).

CYP3A substrates: Midazolam (CYP3A substrate AUC _0-inf decreased by 69% and C _max by 48% following concomitant use in subjects who were previously administered 160 mg repotrectinib once daily for 14 days followed by 160 mg twice daily for 7 days.

In vitro Studies

CYP Enzymes: Repotrectinib induces CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2C9 and inhibits CYP3A4/5 (GI tract). Repotrectinib does not induce CYP1A2.

Other Metabolic Pathways: Repotrectinib inhibits UGT1A1.

Transporter Systems: Repotrectinib inhibits P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, and MATE2-K. Repotrectinib is a substrate for P-gp.

Carcinogenicity studies with repotrectinib were not conducted.

Repotrectinib was genotoxic in an in vitro assay in human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells and in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay via an aneugenic mechanism of action. Repotrectinib was not mutagenic in vitro in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay.

Dedicated fertility studies were not conducted with repotrectinib. There were no effects on male and female reproductive organs observed in general repeat-dose toxicology studies of up to 3 months in duration in rats and monkeys at any dose level tested, which equated to exposures of up to approximately 3 times the human exposure at the 160 mg twice daily dose based on AUC.

The efficacy of AUGTYRO was evaluated in TRIDENT-1, a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (NCT03093116). Patients were required to have ROS1- positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤1, measurable disease per RECIST v 1.1, and ≥8 months from first dose. All patients were assessed for CNS lesions at baseline, and patients with symptomatic brain metastases were excluded from the trial. Patients received AUGTYRO 160 mg orally once daily for 14 days, then increased to 160 mg twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor assessments were performed at least every 8 weeks. Identification of ROS1 gene fusions in tumor specimens was prospectively determined in local laboratories using next-generation sequencing (NGS), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) tests. All ROS1 -positive patients by local FISH testing required central laboratory confirmation of ROS1 fusion using an analytically validated NGS test. ROS1 fusions were identified by NGS in 51%, FISH in 26%, and PCR in 23%. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Intracranial response according to modified RECIST v1.1 was assessed by BICR. Tumor assessments with imaging were performed every 8 weeks. The efficacy populations included 71 ROS1 TKI-naïve patients who received up to 1 prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy and 56 patients who received 1 prior ROS1 TKI with no prior platinum-based chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

Among the 71 ROS1 TKI-naïve patients, the median age was 57 years (range: 28 to 80); female (60.6%); Asian (67.6%), White (25.4%), Hispanic or Latino (4.2%), Black or African American (1.4%); never smoked (63.4%); and ECOG performance status of 1 at baseline (66.2%). At baseline, 94.4% of patients had metastatic disease, 25.4% of patients had CNS metastases by BICR; 97.2% had adenocarcinoma; and 28.2% patients had prior chemotherapy consisting of platinum-based chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.

Among the 56 patients who had received 1 prior ROS1 TKI (including crizotinib [82%] and entrectinib [16%]) with no prior platinum-based chemotherapy or immunotherapy, the median age was 57 years (range: 33 – 78); female (67.9%); Asian (48.2%), White (44.6%), Black or African American and Hispanic or Latino (1.8% each); never smoked (64.3%); and ECOG performance status of 1 at baseline (67.9%). At baseline, 98.2% patients had metastatic disease, 42.9% with CNS metastases by BICR, and 94.6% had adenocarcinoma.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 5.

Among TKI-naïve patients, 8 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BICR; responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 7 of these 8 patients. Among the TKI pretreated patients with no prior platinum-based chemotherapy, 12 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BICR; responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 5 of these 12 patients.

Among the 56 ROS1 inhibitor-pretreated patients, 8 had resistance mutations following TKI therapy. Responses were observed in 6 of these 8 patients; responders included patients with solvent front ( ROS1 ^G2032R ), gatekeeper ( ROS1 ^L2026M ), and other mutations ( ROS1 ^S1986F/Y ).

The efficacy of AUGTYRO was evaluated in TRIDENT-1 (NCT03093116), a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial in 88 adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NTRK gene fusion-positive ( NTRK1/2/3 ) solid tumors who had either received a prior TKI treatment or were TKI-naïve. All patients were assessed for CNS lesions at baseline, and patients with symptomatic brain metastases were excluded from the trial. Patients received AUGTYRO 160 mg orally once daily for 14 days, then increased to 160 mg twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks. NTRK gene fusions were identified prospectively using NGS in 94%, FISH in 5%, and PCR in 1%. NTRK gene fusion-positive tumors identified by local FISH testing required central laboratory confirmation using an analytically validated NGS test. The major efficacy outcome measures were ORR and DOR according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR. Intracranial response according to modified RECIST v1.1 was assessed by BICR.

Among the 40 TRK TKI-naïve patients, the median age was 61 years (range: 25 to 84); 60% were female patients; race was Asian 53%, White 25%, Black or African American 5%, and other or not reported 18%; ethnicity was Hispanic or Latino 5%, not Hispanic or Latino 87%, and not reported 8%; and ECOG performance status of 1 at baseline was 55%. At baseline, 98% of patients had metastatic disease and 23% of patients had CNS metastases by BICR. Seventy percent (n=28) of patients received prior systemic therapy with a median of one prior systemic regimen, and 7.5% (n=3) received three or more prior systemic regimens.

Among the 48 TRK TKI-pretreated patients, the median age was 58 years (range: 20 to 81); 48% were female patients; race was White 65%, Asian 25%, Black or African American 2%, and not reported 8%; ethnicity was not Hispanic or Latino 92%, and missing 8%; and ECOG performance status of 1 at baseline was 60%. At baseline, 96% of patients had metastatic disease and 25% of patients had CNS metastases by BICR. Seventy-seven percent (n=37) of patients received 2 or more prior systemic regimens, and 46% (n=22) received three or more prior systemic regimens, and 7 patients (15%) received 2 prior TKI therapies.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 6.

Among the 88 patients, 5 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BICR. Responses were seen in 2 (100%) TKI-naïve patients and 3 (100%) TKI-pretreated patients. One out of 2 TKI-naïve and 2 out of 3 TKI-pretreated patients received prior radiotherapy to the brain, all more than 2 months prior to study entry.

Twenty-six of the TRK TKI-pretreated patients had a resistance mutation at baseline, including 24 with solvent front mutations ( NTRK1 ^G595R and NTRK3 ^G623L/R/E/V mutations), one with both a solvent front mutation and a gatekeeper mutation ( NTRK1 ^F589L ), and one with another mutation ( NTRK1 ^G667C ). In the 25 TKI-pretreated patients with solvent front mutations at baseline, ORR was 60% (95% CI: 39, 79).
