Drug Information

Mechanism of Action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Taletrectinib is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase ROS1, including ROS1 resistance mutations. Taletrectinib also showed inhibitory effects on tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRKs) TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC. Fusion proteins that include ROS1 domains can drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to unconstrained cell proliferation. Taletrectinib inhibited growth of cancer cells expressing ROS1 fusion genes and mutations. In mice subcutaneously implanted with tumors harboring ROS1 fusions, including the G2032R mutation, administration of taletrectinib resulted in tumor growth inhibition. Taletrectinib had anticancer activity in an intracranial NSCLC xenograft model harboring a ROS1 fusion.

The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section and below reflects exposure to IBTROZI as a single agent at 600 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in 352 patients with ROS1 -positive NSCLC (N=337) and other solid tumors (N=15). Among the 352 patients who received IBTROZI, 68% were exposed for at least 6 months, and 47% were exposed for greater than 1 year. In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥20%) adverse reactions were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, rash, constipation, and fatigue. The most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were increased ALT, increased AST, decreased neutrophils, increased creatine phosphokinase, decreased lymphocytes, increased magnesium, decreased hemoglobin, and increased triglycerides. Locally Advanced or Metastatic ROS1-Positive NSCLC The safety of IBTROZI was evaluated in the TRUST-I and TRUST-II studies [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Key eligibility criteria were histologically confirmed, locally advanced or metastatic, ROS1 -positive NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤1, and measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. Patients received IBTROZI as a single agent at 600 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among patients who received IBTROZI, 68% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 47% were exposed for greater than one year. The median age of patients who received IBTROZI was 56 years (range: 26 to 83); 56% female; 76% Asian, 15% White, 0.6% Black or African American, 8% unknown or other races; and 1.8% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 31% of patients who received IBTROZI. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients included pneumonia (7%), pleural effusion (4.7%), and hepatotoxicity (2.4%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 18 (5%) patients who received IBTROZI, including pneumonia (2.4%), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (0.6%), hepatotoxicity (0.6%), cardiac arrest (0.6%), cardiac failure (0.3%), cardiopulmonary failure (0.3%), respiratory failure (0.3%), and death not otherwise specified (0.3%). Permanent discontinuation of IBTROZI was required in 7% of patients due to adverse reactions. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of IBTROZI in ≥2 patients were pneumonia, ILD, and hepatotoxicity. Dosage interruptions of IBTROZI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 41% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥5% of patients included increased AST and increased ALT. Dose reductions of IBTROZI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 29% of patients. Adverse reactions that required dosage reductions in ≥5% of patients included increased ALT and increased AST. Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions in this population.

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong and Moderate CYP3A inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: Avoid concomitant use with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 receptor antagonists. If an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer IBTROZI 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking a locally acting antacid. ( 7.1 ) Drugs That Prolong the QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on IBTROZI Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. Taletrectinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of IBTROZI with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases taletrectinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of IBTROZI adverse reactions. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Concomitant use of IBTROZI with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases taletrectinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the effectiveness of IBTROZI. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents Avoid concomitant use with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and H2 receptor antagonists. Administer locally acting antacids at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking IBTROZI [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Concomitant use of a proton pump inhibitor decreases taletrectinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may reduce the effectiveness of IBTROZI. 7.2. Drugs That Prolong the QTc Interval Avoid concomitant use of IBTROZI with other drug(s) with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval, such as antiarrhythmic drugs. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, adjust the frequency of monitoring as recommended [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )]. Withhold IBTROZI if the QTc interval is >500 msec or the change from baseline is >60 msec [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )]. IBTROZI causes QTc interval prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Concomitant use of IBTROZI with other drugs known to prolong the QTc interval may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation.
