Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed 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 the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to LYTGOBI as a single agent at 20 mg orally once daily in 318 patients including 145 patients with cholangiocarcinoma and 173 patients with other advanced solid tumors. Among 318 patients who received LYTGOBI, 37% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 13% were exposed for greater than 12 months.

Previously Treated, Unresectable Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

The safety of LYTGOBI was evaluated in Study TAS-120-101, which included 103 patients with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring FGFR2 fusions or other gene rearrangements [see Clinical Studies]. Patients were treated with LYTGOBI 20 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment was 9 months (range: 0.5 - 25 months).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 39% of patients receiving LYTGOBI. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients who received LYTGOBI included pyrexia (3.9%), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (3.9%), ascites (2.9%), musculoskeletal pain (2.9%), and bile duct obstruction (2.9%).

Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4.9% of patients who received LYTGOBI. Adverse reactions requiring permanent discontinuation of LYTGOBI in one patient each were esophagitis, oral dysesthesia, bile duct obstruction, dizziness, and anemia.

Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 66% of patients who received LYTGOBI. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in ≥5% of patients included hyperphosphatemia, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, and fatigue.

Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 58% of patients who received LYTGOBI. Adverse reactions requiring dosage reductions in ≥2% of patients who received LYTGOBI included hyperphosphatemia, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, fatigue, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, nail toxicity, and stomatitis.

The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions were nail toxicity, musculoskeletal pain, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, dry mouth, alopecia, stomatitis, abdominal pain, dry skin, arthralgia, dysgeusia, dry eye, nausea, decreased appetite, urinary tract infection, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, and vomiting.

The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥20%) were increased phosphate, increased creatinine, decreased hemoglobin, increased glucose, increased calcium, decreased sodium, decreased phosphate, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased alkaline phosphatase, decreased lymphocyte, increased aspartate aminotransferase, decreased platelets, increased activated partial thromboplastin time, decreased leukocytes, decreased albumin, decreased neutrophils, increased creatine kinase, increased bilirubin, decreased glucose, increased prothrombin international normalized ratio, and decreased potassium.

Drug Interactions for Lytgobi

Effect Of Other Drugs On LYTGOBI

Futibatinib is a substrate of CYP3A and P-gp.

Dual P-gp And Strong CYP3A Inhibitors

Avoid concomitant use of drugs that are dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors with LYTGOBI.

Concomitant use of drugs that are dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors with LYTGOBI may increase futibatinib exposure [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions.

Dual P-gp And Strong CYP3A Inducers

Avoid concomitant use of dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers with LYTGOBI.

Concomitant use of drugs that are dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers may decrease futibatinib exposure [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], which may reduce the efficacy of LYTGOBI.

Effect Of LYTGOBI On Other Drugs

Futibatinib is an inhibitor of P-gp and BCRP.

P-gp Or BCRP Substrates

Consider more frequent monitoring for adverse reactions associated with concomitantly administered drugs that are sensitive substrates of P-gp or BCRP and reduce the dose of these drugs per their Prescribing Information.

Futibatinib may increase exposure of drugs that are substrates of P-gp or BCRP [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

Warnings for Lytgobi

Included as part of the "PRECAUTIONS" Section

Precautions for Lytgobi

Ocular Toxicity

Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment (RPED)

LYTGOBI can cause RPED, which may cause symptoms such as blurred vision.

Among 318 patients who received LYTGOBI across clinical trials [see ADVERSE REACTIONS] where ophthalmologic monitoring did not routinely include optical coherence tomography (OCT), RPED occurred in 9% of patients. The median time to first onset of RPED was 40 days. RPED led to dose interruption of LYTGOBI in 1.3% of patients, dose reduction in 1.6% of patients, and permanent discontinuation in 0.3% of patients.

Perform a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, including OCT of the macula, prior to initiation of therapy, every 2 months for the first 6 months, and every 3 months thereafter. For onset of visual symptoms, refer patients for ophthalmologic evaluation urgently, with follow-up every 3 weeks until resolution or discontinuation of LYTGOBI.

Withhold or reduce the dose of LYTGOBI as recommended [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Dry Eye/Corneal Keratitis

Among 318 patients who received LYTGOBI across clinical trials [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], dry eye occurred in 15% of patients. Treat patients with ocular demulcents as needed.

Hyperphosphatemia And Soft Tissue Mineralization

LYTGOBI can cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, calcinosis, nonuremic calciphylaxis, and vascular calcification. Increases in phosphate levels are a pharmacodynamic effect of LYTGOBI [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Among 318 patients who received LYTGOBI across clinical trials [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], hyperphosphatemia was reported in 88% of patients based on laboratory values above the upper limit of normal. The median time to onset of hyperphosphatemia was 5 days (range 3-117). Phosphate binders were received by 77% of patients who received LYTGOBI.

Monitor for hyperphosphatemia throughout treatment. Initiate a low phosphate diet and phosphate lowering therapy when serum phosphate level is ≥5.5 mg/dL. For serum phosphate levels >7 mg/dL, initiate or intensify phosphate lowering therapy and dose reduce, withhold, or permanently discontinue LYTGOBI based on duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in an animal study and its mechanism of action, LYTGOBI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of futibatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused fetal malformations, fetal growth retardation, and embryo-fetal death at maternal exposures lower than the human exposure at the clinical dose of 20 mg based on area under the curve (AUC).

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LYTGOBI and for 1 week after the last dose of LYTGOBI. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LYTGOBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].

Patient Counselling Information

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).

Ocular Toxicity

Advise patients that LYTGOBI may cause ocular toxicity including RPED and to immediately inform their healthcare provider if they experience any visual changes [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. Advise patients to use artificial tears, or hydrating or lubricating eye gels to prevent or treat dry eyes [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Hyperphosphatemia And Soft Tissue Mineralization

Inform patients that LYTGOBI may cause hyperphosphatemia and soft tissue mineralization and to immediately inform their healthcare provider of any symptoms related to acute change in phosphate levels such as muscle cramps, numbness, or tingling around the mouth [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Nail Disorders

Advise patients that LYTGOBI may cause nail disorders [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
  • Advise females to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or become pregnant. Inform female patients of the risk to a fetus and potential loss of pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and Use In Specific Populations].
  • Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception while on LYTGOBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
  • Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after receiving the last dose of LYTGOBI [see Use In Specific Populations].
Lactation
  • Advise patients not to breastfeed during treatment with LYTGOBI and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].
Administration
  • Instruct patients to not crush, chew, split or dissolve tablets.
  • Instruct patients if they miss a dose by 12 or more hours or if they vomit after taking a dose, resume dosing with the next scheduled dose. Extra tablets should not be taken to make up for the missed dose [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Drug Interactions

Advise patients to inform their healthcare providers of all concomitant medications, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal products. Advise patients to avoid grapefruit products during treatment with LYTGOBI [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with futibatinib.

Futibatinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Futibatinib was clastogenic in an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay. Futibatinib was not clastogenic in a rat bone marrow micronucleus assay or a rat DNA damaging (Comet) assay.

Dedicated fertility studies with futibatinib have not been conducted.

Use In Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on findings in an animal study and its mechanism of action, LYTGOBI can cause fetal harm or loss of pregnancy when administered to a pregnant woman [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. There are no available data on the use of LYTGOBI in pregnant women. Oral administration of futibatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at maternal plasma exposures below the human exposure at the clinical dose of 20 mg resulted in fetal malformations, fetal growth retardation, and embryo-fetal death (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

Animal Data

Once daily oral administration of futibatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in 100% embryofetal mortality due to post-implantation loss at doses ≥10 mg/kg (approximately 5 times the recommended clinical dose of 20 mg based on body surface area, BSA). Fetal survival was unaffected at 0.5 mg/kg per day; however, once daily oral administration of futibatinib at the 0.5 mg/kg dose level (approximately 0.2 times the recommended clinical dose of 20 mg based on BSA) resulted in reduced mean fetal body weight and an increase in fetal skeletal and visceral malformations, major blood vessel variations, and reduced ossification.

Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of futibatinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on either the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from LYTGOBI in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose.

Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential

LYTGOBI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Pregnancy].

Pregnancy Testing

Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LYTGOBI [see Pregnancy].

Contraception

Females

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LYTGOBI and for 1 week after the last dose.

Males

Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment with LYTGOBI and for 1 week after the last dose.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of LYTGOBI have not been established in pediatric patients.

Animal Toxicity Data

In 4- or 13-week repeat-dose toxicology studies in adult rats and dogs, findings included increased inorganic phosphorus and calcium in plasma, ectopic mineralization in various organs and tissues, and lesions in bone/cartilage at futibatinib exposures lower than the human exposure at the clinical dose of 20 mg. Findings in rats also included corneal lesions. Evidence of recovery in rats and dogs was observed four weeks after cessation of dosing except for the ectopic mineralization.

Geriatric Use

Of the 103 patients treated with LYTGOBI in Study TAS-120-101, 22% were 65 years or older. Based on available data, no overall differences in safety or effectiveness of LYTGOBI have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

Clinical Pharmacology for Lytgobi

Mechanism Of Action

Futibatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor of FGFR 1, 2, 3, and 4 with IC50 values of less than 4 nM. Futibatinib covalently binds FGFR. Constitutive FGFR signaling can support the proliferation and survival of malignant cells. Futibatinib inhibited FGFR phosphorylation and downstream signaling and decreased cell viability in cancer cell lines with FGFR alterations including FGFR fusions/rearrangements, amplifications, and mutations. Futibatinib demonstrated anti-tumor activity in mouse and rat xenograft models of human tumors with activating FGFR genetic alterations.

Pharmacodynamics

Serum Phosphate

Futibatinib increased serum phosphate levels due to FGFR inhibition. Serum phosphate increased with increasing futibatinib exposure across the dose range of 4 to 24 mg orally once daily (0.2 to 1.2 times the recommended dose), with increased risk of hyperphosphatemia at higher futibatinib exposure.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

At four times the approved recommended dose, LYTGOBI does not cause clinically significant QTc interval prolongation.

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of futibatinib administered 20 mg once daily were evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumors unless otherwise specified.

Futibatinib exposure (AUC) increased proportionally over the dose range from 4 to 24 mg orally once daily (0.2 to 1.2 times the maximum approved recommended dosage). At the recommended dosage, the geometric mean (coefficient of variation [CV] %) maximal concentration of futibatinib at steady state (Cmax,ss) was 144 ng/mL (50%) and AUC at steady state (AUCss) was 790 ng·hr/mL (45%), with no accumulation after repeat doses.

Absorption

Median time to reach maximum futibatinib plasma concentration (Tmax) was 2 (range: 1.2 to 22.8) hours.

Effect of Food

Administration of LYTGOBI with a high-fat and high-calorie meal (900 to 1000 calories with approximately 50% of total caloric content from fat) decreased futibatinib AUC by 11% and Cmax by 42% in healthy subjects.

Distribution

The geometric mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution (Vc/F) is 66 L (18%). Futibatinib is 95% bound to human plasma protein at 0.2 to 5 μmol/L in vitro, primarily to albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein.

Elimination

The mean (CV%) elimination half-life (T1/2) of futibatinib is 2.9 hours (27%) and the geometric mean (CV%) apparent clearance (CL/F) is 20 L/h (23%).

Metabolism

Futibatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A and to a lesser extent by CYP2C9 and CYP2D6 in vitro. Unchanged futibatinib is the major drug-related moiety in plasma (59% of radioactivity) in healthy subjects.

Excretion

Following a single oral dose of 20 mg radiolabeled futibatinib, approximately 91% of the total recovered radioactivity was observed in feces and 9% in urine, with negligible unchanged futibatinib in urine or feces.

Specific Populations

No clinically meaningful differences in the systemic exposure of futibatinib were observed based on age (18 - 82 years), sex, race (White, Asian, and African American), body weight (36 - 152 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 - 89 mL/min estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate transaminase (AST) > ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5× ULN and any AST).

The pharmacokinetics of futibatinib has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 - 29 mL/min), renal dialysis in end-stage renal disease (CLcr <15 mL/min), or moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5× ULN and any AST).

Co-administration of multiple doses of rifampin (P-gp and strong CYP3A inducer) decreased single dose futibatinib Cmax by 53% and AUC by 64% [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].

The effect of a P-gp modulator (without CYP3A modulation), or a strong CYP3A modulator (without P-gp modulation) on the exposure of futibatinib has not been investigated.

Gastric Acid Reducing Agents

Co-administration of multiple doses of lansoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) had no effect on single dose futibatinib AUC.

Effect of Futibatinib On Other Drugs

CYP3A Substrates

Co-administration of multiple doses of futibatinib had no effect on single dose midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) AUC.

In Vitro Studies

Effect of Transporters on Futibatinib: Futibatinib is a substrate for P-gp and BCRP, but not for OATP1B1 or OATP1B3.

Effect of Futibatinib on CYP Enzymes

Futibatinib does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 or CYP3A, and does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6 or CYP3A4 at clinically relevant concentrations.

Effect of Futibatinib on Transporter Systems

Futibatinib inhibits P-gp and BCRP, but does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2K at clinically relevant concentrations.

Clinical Studies

Cholangiocarcinoma

TAS-120-101 (NCT02052778), a multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial, evaluated the efficacy of LYTGOBI in 103 patients with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The presence of FGFR2 fusions or other rearrangements was determined in 102 enrolled patients (99%) using next generation sequencing (NGS) testing. Qualifying in-frame fusions and other rearrangements were predicted to have a breakpoint within intron 17/exon 18 of the FGFR2 gene leaving the FGFR2 kinase domain intact.

Patients received LYTGOBI at a dosage of 20 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR) as determined by an independent review committee (IRC) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.

The trial population characteristics were: Median age was 58 years (range: 22 to 79 years) with 22% of patients ≥65 years, 56% were female, race was: 50% White, 29% Asian, 8% Black or African American, 1% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 13% unknown, baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (47%) or 1 (53%). Seventy-eight percent (78%) of patients had in-frame FGFR2 gene fusions and the most commonly identified FGFR2 fusion partner was BICC1 (n=24, 23%). Twenty-two percent (22%) of patients had other FGFR2 rearrangements that may not be in-frame with the partner gene or the partner gene was not identifiable.

All patients had received at least 1 prior systemic therapy, 30% had 2 prior lines of therapy, and 23% had 3 or more prior lines of therapy. All patients received a prior platinum-based therapy including 91% with prior gemcitabine/cisplatin.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 5. The median time to response was 2.5 months (range 0.7 – 7.4 months).
