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 populations described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to ZEGFROVY as a single agent at a dose of 200 mg orally once daily in 121 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC from two clinical trials WU-KONG1 (NCT03974022) [see Clinical Studies (14)] and WU-KONG2 (n=3). Among 121 patients who received ZEGFROVY, 56% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 28% were exposed for greater than one year. In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥20%) adverse reactions were diarrhea, rash, decreased appetite, stomatitis, fatigue, nausea, paronychia, vomiting, constipation, musculoskeletal pain, pruritus, dry skin, urinary tract infection, abdominal pain and decreased weight. The most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were decreased lymphocytes, increased lipase, decreased hemoglobin, increased amylase, increased creatine kinase, decreased neutrophils, decreased potassium, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased sodium, increased magnesium, and increased alkaline phosphatase.

EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutation-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum-Based Chemotherapy

The safety of ZEGFROVY was evaluated in WU-KONG1B [see Clinical Studies (14)] in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations in a multinational, open-label, dose randomization clinical trial. Eligible patients must have had disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy and received ZEGFROVY 200 mg orally once daily until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. The median age of patients who received ZEGFROVY was 62 years (range: 35-88); 67% were females; 65% were Asian and 33% were White; 97% were not of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients who received ZEGFROVY. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients who received ZEGFROVY were pneumonia (9%); dyspnea (4.4%); and pancreatitis, device related infection and rash (2.2% each). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2.2% of patients who received ZEGFROVY including thrombosis (1.1%) and COVID-19 infection (1.1%).

Permanent discontinuation of ZEGFROVY due to adverse reactions occurred in 8% of patients. Adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation of ZEGFROVY in ≥2% of patients were pneumonia and rash (2.2% each).

Dosage interruption of ZEGFROVY due to adverse reactions occurred in 48% of patients. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption of ZEGFROVY in ≥5% of patients were vomiting (9%), pneumonia (8%), and rash (8%).

Dose reduction of ZEGFROVY due to adverse reactions occurred in 23% of patients. Adverse reactions requiring dose reduction of ZEGFROVY in ≥3% of patients were rash (4.4%) and diarrhea (3.3%).

Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s)
  • Sunvozertinib is an inhibitor of P-gp and BCRP.
  • ZEGFROVY increases exposure of P-gp or BCRP substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these substrates.

Warnings for Zegfrovy

Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.

Precautions for Zegfrovy

Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis

ZEGFROVY can cause severe and life-threatening interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis.

In the safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 1.7% of patients. The median time to first onset for ILD/pneumonitis was 61 days (range: 35 to 86 days). ZEGFROVY was discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 0.8% of patients.

Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, and fever). Immediately withhold ZEGFROVY in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue ZEGFROVY if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions

ZEGFROVY can cause severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions including diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

In the safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions occurred in 1.7% of patients, including 0.8% Grade 3 nausea. Diarrhea occurred in 73% of patients who received ZEGFROVY, including 2.5% Grade 3. Diarrhea leading to dosage interruption or dose reduction occurred in 5% of patients and required permanent discontinuation of ZEGFROVY in 0.8% of patients. Nausea and vomiting occurred in 43% of patients, including 3.3% Grade 3 events. Nausea and vomiting leading to dosage interruption or dose reduction occurred in 7% of patients and permanent discontinuation of ZEGFROVY in 0.8% of patients.

Administer ZEGFROVY with food to reduce gastrointestinal adverse reactions. Monitor patients for gastrointestinal toxicity, and provide supportive care, including anti-diarrheals, anti-emetics, or fluid replacement, as indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEGFROVY based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

Dermatologic Adverse Reactions

ZEGFROVY can cause severe rash including acneiform dermatitis and pruritus.

Based on the safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], dermatologic adverse reactions occurred in 68% of patients including 9% acneiform dermatitis. Grade 3 dermatologic adverse reactions were 7% rash, 0.8% acneiform dermatitis, and 0.8% pruritus.

Instruct patients to use alcohol-free (e.g., isopropanol-free, ethanol-free) emollient cream during treatment with ZEGFROVY and to avoid the use of irritating skin products (e.g., products containing retinol or retinoic acid, benzoyl peroxides).

Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEGFROVY based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

Ocular Toxicity

ZEGFROVY can cause ocular toxicity including keratitis, dry eye symptoms, blurred vision, and visual impairment.

Based on the safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ocular toxicity occurred in 13% of patients who received ZEGFROVY, including keratitis (0.8%).

Promptly refer patients with new or worsening eye symptoms to an ophthalmologist. Advise discontinuation of contact lenses until ocular symptoms are evaluated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ZEGFROVY based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, ZEGFROVY can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of sunvozertinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in structural abnormalities at concentrations below the human exposure at the recommended dose based on area under the curve (AUC) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ZEGFROVY and for 2 weeks after the last dose, since ZEGFROVY 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 ZEGFROVY and for 2 weeks after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenesis

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with sunvozertinib.

Mutagenesis

Sunvozertinib was not genotoxic in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay, an in vitro chromosome aberration assay, or an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats.

Impairment of Fertility

Fertility studies have not been conducted with sunvozertinib. In repeat-dose toxicology studies of up to 4-weeks duration in dogs, oral administration of sunvozertinib caused vaginal epithelial atrophy and degeneration of the seminiferous tubule in the testes at doses as low as 8 mg/kg/day (≥0.2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC). The reversibility of the findings in females was not assessed. The findings in males were reversible.

Overdose Information for Zegfrovy

Contraindications for Zegfrovy

No information provided

Clinical Pharmacology for Zegfrovy

Mechanism Of Action

Sunvozertinib is a kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) that binds to and inhibits EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations at similar concentrations as wild-type EGFR.

In cultured cell models, sunvozertinib inhibited EGFR phosphorylation in cells expressing different EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation variants at approximately 2- to 10-fold lower concentrations than wild-type EGFR signaling inhibition. Sunvozertinib exhibited anti-tumor activity against xenograft models of NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations.

Pharmacodynamics

Exposure Response Relationships

No clinically significant exposure-response relationships for overall response rate (ORR) were observed over the exposure range between sunvozertinib 200 mg and 300 mg (1.5 times the approved recommended dose).

Cardiac Electrophysiology

At 1.5 times the approved recommended dose, a clinically significant QTc interval prolongation was not observed.

The mean percentage of PNH Type II + III RBCs with C3 deposition decreased from 17.8% at baseline to 0.20% at Week 16 and sustained through Week 48 (Study APL2-302). In Study APL2-308, the mean percentage of PNH Type II + III RBCs with C3 deposition decreased from 2.85% at baseline to 0.09% at Week 26.

Pharmacokinetics

Sunvozertinib pharmacokinetics were observed at steady state at the approved recommended dosage and are presented as geometric mean (CV%) unless otherwise specified.

Sunvozertinib total systemic exposure (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) increase approximately dose-proportionally across the dose range of 50 mg (0.25 times the approved recommended dose) to 400 mg (2 times the approved recommended dose). Steady state is reached within 15 days and the mean accumulation of AUC was approximately 3-fold. The steady-state Cmax and AUC of sunvozertinib were 412 (45%) ng/mL and 8,060 (42%) h*ng/mL, respectively.

Absorption

Sunvozertinib median (minimum, maximum) time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax) is approximately 6 hours (3, 10 hours).

Effect of Food

No clinically significant differences in sunvozertinib AUC and Cmax were observed following administration of sunvozertinib with a high-fat meal (approximately 1,000 calories, approximately 50% fat).

Distribution

The apparent (oral) volume of distribution is 2,116 L (81%). Sunvozertinib plasma protein binding ranges from approximately 89% to 94% in vitro.

Elimination

Sunvozertinib elimination half-life is 50 hours (27%) with an apparent (oral) clearance of 29 L/h (54%).

Metabolism

Sunvozertinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A and forms the active demethylated metabolite, DZ0753. DZ0753 AUC represents 10% of the parent AUC.

Excretion

Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled sunvozertinib, 79% of the dose was recovered in feces (7.3% unchanged) and 10% in urine (5.6% unchanged).

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of sunvozertinib were observed based on age (19 to 96 years), sex, race (Asian 62%, White 28%, Black or African American 8%), body weight (30 to 118 kg), smoking status, mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault), and mild (bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN or bilirubin >1 to 1.5 x ULN and any AST) to moderate (bilirubin ≥1.5 to 3 x ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment. The effect of severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 x ULN and any AST) and severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of sunvozertinib has not been studied.
