pralsetinib · by rigel pharms
Pralsetinib is an oral receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The chemical name for pralsetinib is ( cis )- N -(( S )-1-(6-(4-fluoro-1 H -pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl)ethyl)-1-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-6-(5-methyl-1 H -pyrazol-3-ylamino)pyrimidin-2-yl)cyclohexanecarboxamide. The molecular formula for pralsetinib is C 27 H 32 FN 9 O 2 , and the molecular weight is 533.61 g/mol. Pralsetinib has the following structure: The solubility of pralsetinib in aqueous media decreases over the range pH 1.99 to pH 7.64 from 0.880 mg/mL to < 0.001 mg/mL, indicating a decrease in solubility with increasing pH. GAVRETO (pralsetinib) is supplied for oral use as immediate release hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) hard capsules containing 100 mg pralsetinib. The capsules also contain inactive ingredients: citric acid, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), pregelatinized starch and sodium bicarbonate. The capsule shell consists of FD&C Blue #1 (Brilliant Blue FCF), hypromellose and titanium dioxide. The white printing ink contains butyl alcohol, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, purified water, shellac, strong ammonia solution and titanium dioxide. Chemical Structure
Select patients for treatment with GAVRETO based on the presence of a RET gene fusion. ( 2.1 , 14 ) The recommended dosage in adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older is 400 mg orally once daily on an empty stomach (no food intake for at least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after taking GAVRETO). ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for treatment with GAVRETO based on the presence of a RET gene fusion (NSCLC or thyroid cancer) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Information on FDA-approved tests for RET gene fusion (NSCLC) is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. An FDA-approved test for the detection of RET gene fusion (thyroid cancer) is not currently available. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of GAVRETO is 400 mg orally once daily on an empty stomach (no food intake for at least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after taking GAVRETO ) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Continue treatment until disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity. If a dose of GAVRETO is missed, it can be taken as soon as possible on the same day. Resume the regular daily dose schedule for GAVRETO the next day. Do not take an additional dose if vomiting occurs after GAVRETO but continue with the next dose as scheduled. 2.3 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose reductions and dosage modifications for adverse reactions…
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Serious Infections, Including Opportunistic Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Hemorrhagic Events [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Tumor Lysis Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Risk of Impaired Wound Healing [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Embryo-Fetal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥ 25%) were musculoskeletal pain, constipation, hypertension, diarrhea, fatigue, edema, pyrexia and cough. The most common Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities (≥ 2%) were decreased lymphocytes, decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, decreased phosphate, decreased leukocytes, decreased sodium, increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), decreased calcium (corrected), decreased platelets, increased alkaline phosphatase, increased potassium, decreased potassium and increased bilirubin.

Important safety information
WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS, INCLUDING OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS GAVRETO may increase the risk for serious infections, including bacterial, fungal, viral and opportunistic infections, which can lead to hospitalization or death. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS, INCLUDING OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. GAVRETO may increase the risk for serious infections, including bacterial, fungal, viral and opportunistic infections, which can lead to hospitalization or death. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.1 )
Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or P-gp inhibitors : Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of GAVRETO. ( 2.4 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers : Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the dose of GAVRETO. ( 2.5 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on GAVRETO Strong or Moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp Inhibitors Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor and/or a P-gp inhibitor increases pralsetinib exposure [ Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to GAVRETO. Avoid coadministration of GAVRETO with a strong or moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp inhibitor. If coadministration with any of the above inhibitors cannot be avoided, reduce the GAVRETO dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases pralsetinib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may decrease efficacy of GAVRETO. Avoid concomitant use of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. If coadministration of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers cannot be avoided, increase the GAVRETO dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ]
