Gavreto Generic Name & Formulations

General Description

Pralsetinib 100mg; caps.

Pharmacological Class

Kinase inhibitor.

How Supplied

Caps—60, 90, 120

Generic Availability

NO

Mechanism of Action

Pralsetinib is a kinase inhibitor of wild-type RET and oncogenic RET fusions (CCDC6-RET) and mutations (RET V804L, RET V804M and RET M918T) with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) <0.5 nM. In purified enzyme assays, pralsetinib inhibited DDR1, TRKC, FLT3, JAK1-2, TRKA, VEGFR2, PDGFRb, and FGFR1 at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable at Cmax. In cellular assays, pralsetinib inhibited RET at approximately 14-, 40-, and 12-fold lower concentrations than VEGFR2, FGFR2, and JAK2, respectively.

Gavreto Indications

Indications

Advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer in patients who require systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate).

Gavreto Dosage and Administration

Adult

Confirm presence of a RET gene fusion. Take on an empty stomach. ≥12yrs: 400mg once daily. Continue until disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity. Dose modifications for adverse reactions, use with CYP3A and/or P-gp inhibitors, or with CYP3A inducers: see full labeling.

Children

<12yrs: not established.

Gavreto Warnings/Precautions

Warnings/Precautions

Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis; withhold therapy and evaluate if occurs. Uncontrolled hypertension: do not initiate. Optimize BP prior to initiation; monitor after 1 week, then at least monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Hepatotoxicity. Monitor AST/ALT prior to initiation, every 2 weeks during 1st 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Permanently discontinue if severe or life-threatening hemorrhagic events occur. Risk of tumor lysis syndrome in those with MTC (esp. with rapidly growing tumors, high tumor burden, renal dysfunction, dehydration); monitor. Risk of impaired wound healing: withhold for ≥5 days prior to elective surgery; do not give for ≥2 weeks after major surgery and until adequate healing. Moderate (total bilirubin >1.5–3.0×ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin >3.0×ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment. Embryo-fetal toxicity. Advise to use effective non-hormonal contraception during and for 2 weeks (females of reproductive potential) or 1 week (males w. female partners) after the last dose. Pregnancy: exclude status prior to initiation. Nursing mothers: not recommended (during and for 1 week after the last dose).

Gavreto Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Median time to peak concentration ranged from 2–4 hours.–

Distribution

Mean apparent volume of distribution: 303 L. Plasma protein bound: 97.1%. Blood-to-plasma ratio: 0.6–0.7.

Metabolism

Hepatic (CYP3A4 [major], CYP2D6, CYP1A2).

Elimination

Fecal (73%), renal (6%). Half-life: 15.7 hours.

Gavreto Interactions

Interactions

Potentiated by strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or P-gp inhibitors. Avoid concomitant strong or moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp inhibitors; if unavoidable, reduce Gavreto dose. Antagonized by strong or moderate CYP3A inducers; avoid concomitant use; if unavoidable, increase Gavreto dose. May antagonist hormonal contraceptives.

Gavreto Adverse Reactions

Adverse Reactions

Constipation, hypertension, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea; laboratory abnormalities (decreased lymphocytes, decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, decreased phosphate, decreased sodium, decreased calcium [corrected], increased ALT/AST/alkaline phosphatase, decreased platelets), pneumonia, pneumonitis, sepsis, UTI, pyrexia.
