Clinical Trial 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.

Data in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflect exposure to ROZLYTREK in 355 patients, including 172 (48%) patients exposed for 6 months or longer and 84 (24%) patients exposed for 1 year or longer. ROZLYTREK was studied in one dose-finding trial in adults [ALKA (n = 57)], one dose-finding and activity-estimating trial in adults [STARTRK-1 (n = 76)], one dose-finding and activity-estimating trial in pediatric and adult patients [STARTRK-NG (n = 16)], and one single arm, activity-estimating trial in adults [STARTRK-2 (n = 206)].

The population characteristics were: median age 55 years (range: 4 to 86 years); 5% (n = 17) were less than 18 years of age; 55% were female; and 66% were White, 23% were Asian, and 5% were Black; 3% were Hispanic/Latino. The most common tumors (≥ 5%) were lung (56%), sarcoma (8%), and colon (5%). ROS1 gene fusions were present in 42% and NTRK gene fusions were present in 20%. Most adults (75%) received ROZLYTREK 600 mg orally once daily. The doses ranged from 100 mg/m2 to 1600 mg/m2 once daily in adults and 250 mg/m2 to 750 mg/m2 once daily in pediatric patients.

One patient developed Grade 4 myocarditis after one dose of ROZLYTREK which resolved after discontinuation of ROZLYTREK and administration of high-dose corticosteroids.

Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients who received ROZLYTREK. The most frequent adverse reactions (< 1% each) that resulted in permanent discontinuation were pneumonia, cardio-respiratory arrest, dyspnea, and fatigue.

Dose interruptions due to adverse reactions occurred in 46% of patients. The most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 2%) that resulted in interruption were increased blood creatinine (4%), fatigue (3.7%), anemia (3.1%), diarrhea (2.8%), pyrexia (2.8%), dizziness (2.5%), dyspnea (2.3%), nausea (2.3%), pneumonia (2.3%), cognitive disorder (2%) and neutropenia (2%).

Dose reductions due to adverse reactions occurred in 29% of patients who received ROZLYTREK. The most frequent adverse reactions resulting in dose reductions (≥ 1%) were dizziness (3.9%), increased blood creatinine (3.1%), fatigue (2.3%), anemia (1.7%), and increased weight (1.4%).

The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were fatigue, constipation, dysgeusia, edema, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, dysesthesia, dyspnea, myalgia, cognitive impairment, increased weight, cough, vomiting, pyrexia, arthralgia and vision disorders.

Safety In Pediatric Patients

The safety of ROZLYTREK was evaluated was evaluated in pediatric patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with a NTRK gene fusion enrolled in one of three multicenter, open-label clinical trials: STARTRK-NG (n=68), TAPISTRY (n=6) and STARTRK-2 (n=2). Patients received ROZLYTREK 20 mg to 600 mg based on body surface area (BSA) orally or via enteral feeding tube once daily in 4-week cycles until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Among patients who received ROZLYTREK, 58% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 38% were exposed for greater than one year.

The median age of patients who received ROZLYTREK was 6 years (range: 0 to 17); 51% were females; 68% were White, 18% Asian, 7% Black or African American, and 7% were other races.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients who received ROZLYTREK. Serious adverse reactions in > 2% of patients included skeletal fractures (12%), pneumonia (5%), pyrexia (5%), hydrocephalus (5%), device related infection (4%), hypoxia (4%), dyspnea (3%), headache (3%), gait disturbance (3%), pain (3%), upper respiratory infection (3%), and sepsis (3%).

Permanent discontinuation of ROZLYTREK due to an adverse reaction occurred in 13% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of ROZLYTREK in > 2% of patients included skeletal fracture.

Dosage interruptions of ROZLYTREK due to an adverse reaction occurred in 39% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in > 5% of patients included decreased neutrophil count, pyrexia, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Dose reductions of ROZLYTREK due to an adverse reaction occurred in 21% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in > 2% of patients included increased blood creatinine and increased weight.

Drug Interactions for Rozlytrek

Effect Of Other Drugs On ROZLYTREK

Moderate And Strong CYP3A Inhibitors

Adults and Pediatric Patients 2 Years and Older

Coadministration of ROZLYTREK with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases entrectinib plasma concentrations [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], which could increase the frequency or severity of adverse reactions. Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with ROZLYTREK. If coadministration is unavoidable, reduce the ROZLYTREK dose [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

Pediatric Patients less than 2 Years

Avoid coadministration of ROZLYTREK with moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

Avoid grapefruit products during treatment with ROZLYTREK, as they contain inhibitors of CYP3A.

Moderate And Strong CYP3A Inducers

Coadministration of ROZLYTREK with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases entrectinib plasma concentrations [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], which may reduce ROZLYTREK efficacy. Avoid coadministration of strong and moderate CYP3A inducers with ROZLYTREK.

Drugs That Prolong QTc Interval

QTc interval prolongation can occur with ROZLYTREK. Avoid coadministration of ROZLYTREK with other products with a known potential to prolong QT/QTc interval [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].

Clinical Pharmacology for Rozlytrek

Mechanism Of Action

Entrectinib is an inhibitor of the tropomyosin receptor tyrosine kinases (TRK) TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC (encoded by the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase [NTRK] genes NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3, respectively), proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS1 (ROS1), and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) with IC50 values of 0.1 to 2 nM. Entrectinib also inhibits JAK2 and TNK2 with IC50 values > 5 nM. The major active metabolite of entrectinib, M5, showed similar in vitro activity against TRK, ROS1, and ALK.

Fusion proteins that include TRK, ROS1, or ALK kinase domains can drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to unconstrained cell proliferation. Entrectinib demonstrated in vitro and in vivo inhibition of cancer cell lines derived from multiple tumor types harboring NTRK, ROS1, and ALK fusion genes.

Entrectinib demonstrated steady-state brain-to-plasma concentration ratios of 0.4 – 2.2 in multiple animal species (mice, rats, and dogs) and demonstrated in vivo anti-tumor activity in mice with intracranial implantation of TRKA- and ALK-driven tumor cell lines.

Pharmacodynamics

Entrectinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic responses are unknown.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

Across clinical trials, 3.1% of 355 patients, who received ROZLYTREK at doses ranging from 100 mg to 2600 mg daily under fasting or fed conditions (75% received 600 mg orally once daily) and had at least one post-baseline ECG assessment, experienced QTcF interval prolongation of > 60 ms after starting ROZLYTREK and 0.6% had a QTc interval > 500 ms [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics for entrectinib and its pharmacologically active major circulating metabolite M5 were characterized in adult patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC, NTRK gene fusion-positive solid tumors, and healthy subjects. The pharmacokinetics of entrectinib and M5 are linear and are not dose-dependent or time-dependent. Steady state is achieved within one week for entrectinib and two weeks for M5 following daily administration of ROZLYTREK. The pharmacokinetic parameters for entrectinib and M5 are described in Table 11.

* Geometric mean

Absorption

The maximum entrectinib plasma concentration was reached 4 – 6 hours after oral administration of a 600 mg dose.

Entrectinib exposure following a single oral dose (600 mg) of ROZLYTREK oral pellets was not clinically significant compared to ROZLYTREK capsule administered with a light meal (250 calories: 25% fat) in healthy subjects. In STARTRK-2, STARTRK-NG and TAPISTRY studies, ROZLYTREK was administered without regard to food in patients.

Entrectinib exposure of a single dose (600 mg) of ROZLYTREK capsules as a suspension with water or milk, administered orally or through a nasogastric or gastric tube, was not clinically significant compared to administration of intact ROZLYTREK capsules in healthy subjects under fasted conditions.

Effect of Food

A high-fat (approximately 50% of total caloric content), high-calorie (approximately 800 to 1000 calories) meal did not have a significant effect on entrectinib exposure of ROZLYTREK capsules.

Distribution

Entrectinib and its active major metabolite M5 are both > 99% bound to human plasma proteins in vitro.

The estimated apparent volume of distribution (V/F) was 551 L and 81.1 L for entrectinib and M5, respectively.

Elimination

The estimated apparent clearance (CL/F) was 19.6 L/h and 52.4 L/h for entrectinib and M5, respectively. The elimination half-lives of entrectinib and M5 were estimated to be 20 and 40 hours, respectively.

Metabolism

Entrectinib is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4 (~76%). The active metabolite M5 (formed by CYP3A4) is the only major active circulating metabolite identified. M5 has similar pharmacological potency to entrectinib in vitro and circulating M5 exposures at steady-state in patients were 40% of the corresponding entrectinib exposure.

Excretion

Following oral administration of a single oral dose of [14C]-labeled entrectinib, 83% of radioactivity was excreted in feces (36% of the dose as unchanged entrectinib and 22% as M5) with minimal excretion in urine (3%).

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of entrectinib were observed based on sex, race (White, Asian and Black), mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to < 90 mL/min) and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN with aspartate aminotransferase > ULN or total bilirubin > 1.0 – 1.5 times ULN with any aspartate aminotransferase). The impact of severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of entrectinib is unknown.

Hepatic Impairment

Following administration of a single oral dose of ROZLYTREK 100 mg (1/6 of the recommended dose), the entrectinib AUCINF was increased by 39% for the mild, 39% for the moderate, and 23% for the severe hepatic impairment groups compared to the normal hepatic function group. The combined AUClast of entrectinib and M5 was increased by 16% for the mild, 16% for the moderate, and 4% for the severe hepatic impairment groups compared to the normal hepatic function group. Large variability in systemic exposure of entrectinib was observed in the hepatic impairment groups.

Pediatric Patients > 6 Months

In pediatric patients older than 6 months administered 300 mg/m2 (based on BSA) of ROZLYTREK once daily, systemic exposure of the sum of entrectinib and M5 in pediatric patients receiving 300 mg/m2 of ROZLYTREK once daily is within the range of the adults treated with 600 mg of ROZLYTREK once daily.

The available efficacy and safety data also confirm the adequacy of the recommended doses [see Use In Specific Populations].

Pediatric Patients > 1 To ≤ 6 Months

In pediatric patients > 1 to ≤ 6 months administered 250 mg/m2 (based on BSA) of ROZLYTREK once daily, systemic exposure of the sum of entrectinib and M5 in pediatric patients was at the lower range of the adults administered 600 mg of ROZLYTREK once daily.

The available efficacy and safety data also confirm the adequacy of the recommended doses [see Use In Specific Populations].

Drug Interaction Studies

Clinical Studies

Effect of CYP3A Inhibitors on Entrectinib

Coadministration of itraconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) with a single 100 mg dose of ROZLYTREK capsule increased entrectinib AUC0-INF by 6-fold and Cmax by 1.7-fold [see DRUG INTERACTIONS]. Coadministration of a moderate CYP3A inhibitor with ROZLYTREK capsule is predicted to increase entrectinib AUC0-Tau by 3-fold and Cmax by 2.9-fold. Based on physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling, a similar magnitude of the effect is expected in children as young as 2 years old.

Effect of CYP3A Inducers on Entrectinib

Coadministration of rifampin (a strong CYP3A inducer) with a single 600 mg dose of ROZLYTREK capsule reduced entrectinib AUC0-INF by 77% and Cmax by 56% [see DRUG INTERACTIONS]. Coadministration of a moderate CYP3A inducer with ROZLYTREK capsule is predicted to reduce entrectinib AUC0-Tau by 56% and Cmax by 43%.

Effect of Gastric Acid Reducing Drugs on Entrectinib

Coadministration of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), lansoprazole with a single 600 mg dose of ROZLYTREK capsule reduced entrectinib AUC by 25% and Cmax by 23%.

Coadministration of lansoprazole, with a single 600 mg dose of ROZLYTREK capsule as oral suspension in water increased entrectinib AUC by 25% and Cmax by 17%. These changes are not likely to be clinically significant.

Effect of Entrectinib on CYP Substrates

Coadministration of 600 mg dose of ROZLYTREK capsule once daily with oral midazolam (a sensitive CYP3A substrate) in patients increased the midazolam AUC by 50% but reduced midazolam Cmax by 21% [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].

Effect of Entrectinib on Transporters

Coadministration of a single 600 mg dose of ROZLYTREK capsule with digoxin [a sensitive P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate] increased digoxin Cmax by 28% and AUC by 18%.

In Vitro Studies

Entrectinib is not a substrate of P-gp or BCRP, but M5 is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP. Entrectinib and M5 are not substrates of OATP1B1 or OATP1B3.

Clinical Studies

ROS1-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The efficacy of ROZLYTREK was evaluated in a pooled subgroup of patients with ROS1-positive metastatic NSCLC who received ROZLYTREK at various doses and schedules (90% received ROZLYTREK 600 mg orally once daily) and were enrolled in one of three multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical trials: ALKA, STARTRK-1 (NCT02097810) and STARTRK-2 (NCT02568267). To be included in this pooled subgroup, patients were required to have histologically confirmed, recurrent or metastatic, ROS1-positive NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤ 2, measurable disease per RECIST v 1.1, ≥ 18 months of follow-up from first post-treatment tumor assessment, and no prior therapy with a ROS1 inhibitor. Identification of ROS1 gene fusion in tumor specimens was prospectively determined in local laboratories using either a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), next-generation sequencing (NGS), or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) laboratory-developed tests. All patients were assessed for CNS lesions at baseline. 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 Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) was assessed by BICR. Tumor assessments with imaging were performed every 8 weeks.

Efficacy was assessed in 92 patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC. The median age was 53 years (range: 27 to 86); female (65%); White (48%), Asian (45%), and Black (5%); and Hispanic or Latino (2.4%); never smoked (59%); and ECOG performance status 0 or 1 (88%). Ninety-nine percent of patients had metastatic disease, including 42% with CNS metastases; 96% had adenocarcinoma; 65% received prior platinum-based chemotherapy for metastatic or recurrent disease and no patient had progressed in less than 6 months following platinum-based adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. ROS1 positivity was determined by NGS in 79%, FISH in 16%, and PCR in 4%. Twenty-five percent had central laboratory confirmation of ROS1 positivity using an analytically validated NGS test.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 12.

Among the 92 patients, 10 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BICR and had not received radiation therapy to the brain within 2 months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 7 of these 10 patients.

NTRK Gene Fusion-Positive Solid Tumors

Efficacy In Adult Patients

The efficacy of ROZLYTREK was evaluated in a pooled subgroup of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with a NTRK gene fusion enrolled in one of three multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical trials: ALKA, STARTRK-1 (NCT02097810) and STARTRK-2 (NCT02568267). To be included in this pooled subgroup, patients were required to have progressed following systemic therapy for their disease, if available, or would have required surgery causing significant morbidity for locally advanced disease; measurable disease per RECIST v1.1; at least 2 years of follow-up from first post-treatment tumor assessment; and no prior therapy with a TRK inhibitor. Patients received ROZLYTREK at various doses and schedules (94% received ROZLYTREK 600 mg orally once daily) until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Identification of positive NTRK gene fusion status was prospectively determined in local laboratories or a central laboratory using various nucleic acid-based tests. The major efficacy outcome measures were ORR and DOR, as determined by a BICR according to RECIST v1.1. Intracranial response according to RECIST v1.1 as evaluated by BICR. Tumor assessments with imaging were performed every 8 weeks.

Efficacy was assessed in the first 54 adult patients with solid tumors with an NTRK gene fusion enrolled into these trials. The median age was 58 years (range: 21 to 83); female (59%); White (80%), Asian (13%) and Hispanic or Latino (7%); and ECOG performance status 0 (43%) or 1 (46%). Ninety-six percent of patients had metastatic disease, including 22% with CNS metastases, and 4% had locally advanced, unresectable disease. All patients had received prior treatment for their cancer including surgery (n = 43), radiotherapy (n = 36), or systemic therapy (n = 48). Forty patients (74%) received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease with a median of 1 prior systemic regimen and 17% (n = 9) received 3 or more prior systemic regimens. The most common cancers were sarcoma (24%), lung cancer (19%), salivary gland tumors (13%), breast cancer (11%), thyroid cancer (9%), and colorectal cancer (7%). A total of 52 (96%) patients had an NTRK gene fusion detected by NGS and 2 (4%) had an NTRK gene fusion detected by other nucleic acid-based tests. Eighty-three percent of patients had central laboratory confirmation of NTRK gene fusion using an analytically validated NGS test.

Efficacy results are summarized in Tables 13, 14, and 15.

Among the subset of patients who received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease, the ORR was 53%, similar to that seen in the overall population. Among the 54 adult patients, 4 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BICR and had not received radiation therapy to the brain within 2 months of study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 3 of these 4 patients.

Efficacy In Pediatric Patients

The efficacy of ROZLYTREK was evaluated in pediatric patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with a NTRK gene fusion enrolled in one of two multicenter, open-label clinical trials: STARTRK-NG (NCT02650401) and TAPISTRY (NCT04589845). To be included in the analysis, patients were required to have received at least 1 dose of ROZLYTREK; measurable or evaluable disease at baseline; at least 6 months of follow-up; and no prior therapy with a TRK inhibitor. Patients received ROZLYTREK 20 mg to 600 mg based on body surface area (BSA) orally or via enteral feeding tube once daily in 4-week cycles until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by BICR according to RECIST v1.1 for extracranial tumors and according to Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) for primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. An additional efficacy outcome measure was DOR as evaluated by BICR.

Efficacy was assessed in 33 pediatric patients with NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors treated with ROZLYTREK. The median age was 4 years (range: 2 months to 15 years); male (52%); White (58%), Asian (30%), other races (9%), Black or African American (3.0%), and Hispanic or Latino (9%). Seventy-one percent of patients had locally advanced disease and 29% had metastatic disease. Eighty-five percent of patients had received prior treatment for their cancer including surgery (n=20), radiotherapy (n=7) and/or systemic therapy (n=22). The sites for metastatic disease included other (4 patients), brain (3 patients) and lung (2 patients).
