Augtyro
(repotrectinib)Dosage & Administration
Augtyro Prescribing Information
ROS1-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
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)].
NTRK Gene Fusion-Positive Solid Tumors
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 ],
- •
- 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 ]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).
Patient Selection
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 ]. 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.

Pregnancy
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.
Lactation
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.
Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
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)].
Pediatric Use
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.
Geriatric Use
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.
Renal Impairment
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).
Hepatic Impairment
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.
None.
Central Nervous System Adverse Reactions
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.

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)].
Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis
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)].
Hepatotoxicity
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)].
Myalgia with Creatine Phosphokinase Elevation
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)].
Hyperuricemia
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)].
Skeletal Fractures
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.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
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)].
