Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE TEPMETKO is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mesenchymal-epithelial transition ( MET ) exon 14 skipping alterations. TEPMETKO is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mesenchymal-epithelial transition ( MET ) exon 14 skipping alterations. ( 1 )

Dosage and administration

Select patients for treatment with TEPMETKO on the presence of MET ex14 skipping. ( 2.1 , 14 ) Recommended dosage : 450 mg orally once daily with food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection for METex14 Skipping Alterations Select patients for treatment with TEPMETKO based on the presence of MET exon 14 skipping alterations in plasma or tumor specimens. Testing for the presence of MET exon 14 skipping alterations in plasma specimens is recommended only in patients for whom a tumor biopsy cannot be obtained. If an alteration is not detected in a plasma specimen, re-evaluate the feasibility of biopsy for tumor tissue testing. An FDA-approved test for detection of MET exon 14 skipping alterations in NSCLC for selecting patients for treatment with TEPMETKO is not available. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of TEPMETKO is 450 mg orally once daily with food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Instruct patients to take their dose of TEPMETKO at approximately the same time every day and to swallow tablets whole. Do not chew, crush or split tablets. Patients who have difficulty swallowing solids can disperse tablets in water [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. Advise patients not to make up a missed dose within 8 hours of the next scheduled dose. If vomiting occurs after taking a dose of TEPMETKO, advise patients to take the next dose at the scheduled time. 2.3 Administration to Patients Who Have Difficulty Swallowing Solids Place TEPMETKO tablet(s) in a glass containing 30 mL (1 ounce) of non-carbonated water. No other liquids should be used or added. Stir, without crushing, until the tablet(s) is dispersed into small pieces (tablets will not completely dissolve) and drink immediately or within 1 hour. Swallow the tablet dispersion. Do not chew pieces of the tablet. Rinse the glass with an additional 30 mL and drink immediately ensuring no residue remains in the glass and the full dose is administered. If an administration via a naso-gastric tube (with at least 8 French gauge) is required, disperse the tablet(s) in 30 mL of non-carbonated water as described above. Administer the 30 mL of liquid immediately or within 1 hour as per naso-gastric tube manufacturer's instructions. Immediately rinse twice with 30 mL each time to ensure that no residue remains in the glass or syringe and the full dose is administered. 2.4 Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose reduction of TEPMETKO for the management of adverse reactions is 225 mg orally once daily. Permanently discontinue TEPMETKO in patients who are unable to tolerate 225 mg orally once daily. The recommended dosage modifications of TEPMETKO for adverse reactions are provided in Table 1. Table 1: Recommended TEPMETKO Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reaction Severity Severity as defined by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.

Warnings and precautions

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis : Immediately withhold TEPMETKO in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue TEPMETKO in patients diagnosed with ILD/pneumonitis of any severity. ( 2.4 , 5.1 ) Hepatotoxicity : Monitor liver function tests. Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TEPMETKO based on severity. ( 5.2 ) Pancreatic Toxicity : Monitor amylase and lipase. Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TEPMETKO based on severity. ( 5.3 ) Embryo-fetal toxicity : TEPMETKO can cause fetal harm. Advise of potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis ILD/pneumonitis, which can be fatal, occurred in patients treated with TEPMETKO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2% patients treated with TEPMETKO, with one patient experiencing a Grade 3 or higher event; this event resulted in death. Five patients (1%) discontinued TEPMETKO due to ILD/pneumonitis. Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold TEPMETKO in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. 5.2 Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity occurred in patients treated with TEPMETKO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 18% of patients treated with TEPMETKO. Grade 3 or 4 increased ALT/AST occurred in 4.7% of patients. A fatal adverse reaction of hepatic failure occurred in one patient (0.2%). Four patients (0.8%) discontinued TEPMETKO due to increased ALT/AST. The median time-to-onset of Grade 3 or higher increased ALT/AST was 47 days (range 1 to 262). Monitor liver function tests (including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin) prior to the start of TEPMETKO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months of treatment, then once a month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop increased transaminases or bilirubin. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TEPMETKO [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 5.3 Pancreatic Toxicity Elevations in amylase and lipase levels occurred in patients treated with TEPMETKO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Increased amylase and/or lipase occurred in 13% of patients treated with TEPMETKO. Grade 3 and 4 increased amylase and/or lipase occurred in 5% and 1.2% of patients, respectively. Monitor amylase and lipase at baseline and regularly during treatment with TEPMETKO. Based on the severity of the adverse drug reaction, temporarily withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TEPMETKO [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in animal studies and its mechanism of action TEPMETKO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of tepotinib to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations (teratogenicity) and anomalies at exposures less than the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the 450 mg daily clinical dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential or males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TEPMETKO and for one week after the last dose.

Drug interactions

Certain P-gp substrates : Avoid coadministration of TEPMETKO with P-gp substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of TEPMETKO on Other Drugs Certain P-gp Substrates Tepotinib is a P-gp inhibitor. Concomitant use of TEPMETKO increases the concentration of P-gp substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of these substrates. Avoid concomitant use of TEPMETKO with certain P-gp substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. If concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce the P-gp substrate dosage if recommended in its approved product labeling.

Use in specific populations

Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ], TEPMETKO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of TEPMETKO in pregnant women. Oral administration of tepotinib to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations (teratogenicity) and anomalies at maternal exposures less than the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the 450 mg daily clinical dose (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 In embryo-fetal development studies, pregnant rabbits received oral doses of 0.5, 5, 25, 50, 150, or 450 mg/kg tepotinib hydrochloride hydrate daily during organogenesis. Severe maternal toxicity occurred at the 450 mg/kg dose (approximately 0.75 times the human exposure at the 450 mg clinical dose). At 150 mg/kg (approximately 0.5 times the human exposure by AUC at the 450 mg clinical dose), two animals aborted and one animal died prematurely; mean fetal body weight was also decreased. A dose-dependent increase of skeletal malformations, including malrotations of fore and/or hind paws with concomitant misshapen scapula and/or malpositioned clavicle and/or calcaneus and/or talus, occurred at doses ≥ 5 mg/kg (approximately 0.003 times the human exposure by AUC at the 450 mg clinical dose); there was also an incidence of spina bifida at the 5 mg/kg dose level. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data regarding the secretion of tepotinib or its metabolites in human milk or its effects on the breastfed infant or milk production. Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TEPMETKO and for one week after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Based on animal data, TEPMETKO can cause malformations at doses less than the human exposure based on AUC at the 450 mg clinical dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TEPMETKO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during TEPMETKO treatment and for one week after the last dose. Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during TEPMETKO treatment and for one week after the last dose. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of TEPMETKO in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of 313 patients with NSCLC positive for MET ex14 skipping alterations in VISION who received 450 mg TEPMETKO once daily, 79% were 65 years or older, and 41% were 75 years or older. No clinically important differences in safety or efficacy were observed between patients aged 65 years or older and younger patients. 8.6 Renal Impairment No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault). The recommended dosage has not been established for patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr < 30 mL/min) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild (Child Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment. The pharmacokinetics and safety of tepotinib in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh Class C) have not been studied [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Mechanism of action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Tepotinib is a kinase inhibitor that targets MET, including variants with exon 14 skipping alterations. Tepotinib inhibits hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-dependent and -independent MET phosphorylation and MET-dependent downstream signaling pathways. Tepotinib also inhibited melatonin 2 and imidazoline 1 receptors at clinically achievable concentrations. In vitro, tepotinib inhibited tumor cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and migration of MET-dependent tumor cells. In mice implanted with tumor cell lines with oncogenic activation of MET, including MET ex14 skipping alterations, tepotinib inhibited tumor growth, led to sustained inhibition of MET phosphorylation, and, in one model, decreased the formation of metastases.
