Patient Selection

  • ​Select patients for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC with ROZLYTREK based on the presence of ROS1 rearrangement(s) in tumor or plasma specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Testing using plasma specimens is only appropriate for patients for whom tumor tissue is not available for testing.
    Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of ROS1 rearrangement(s) in NSCLC is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.
  • ​Select patients for treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with ROZLYTREK based on the presence of a NTRK gene fusion in tumor or plasma specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. Testing using plasma specimens is only appropriate for patients for whom tumor tissue is not available for testing.

ROZLYTREK Dosage Form Overview

​The physician should prescribe the most appropriate dosage form of ROZLYTREK according to the dose required and patient needs.

​ROZLYTREK is available in two dosage forms, and can be administered either as capsules swallowed whole, capsules made into an oral suspension (or for enteral tube administration) and as oral pellets swallowed with soft food.

ROZLYTREK Capsules 100 mg and 200 mg

  • ​Whole capsules: For patients who can swallow whole capsules and whose doses are multiples of 100 mg.
  • ​Capsules prepared as an oral suspension:
    • For patients who have difficulty or are unable to swallow capsules or who require enteral administration (e.g., gastric or nasogastric tube). [see Dosage and Administration (2.7)].
    • For dose increments of 10 mg, only use capsules prepared as a suspension.

ROZLYTREK Oral Pellets 50 mg per packet

  • ​Pellets sprinkled on one or more spoonfuls of soft food:
    • For patients who have difficulty or are unable to swallow capsules but can swallow soft food and whose doses are multiples of 50 mg. [see Dosage and Administration (2.7)].
    • Do not use pellets for preparation of suspension.
    • Do not attempt to use partial quantities of pellets from 50 mg pellet packets to prepare a dose.
    • Do not use the pellet formulation for enteral tube administration as the pellets may clog the tube.

ROZLYTREK Administration Overview

  • ​Administer ROZLYTREK capsules, capsules prepared as a suspension, or pellets once daily, with or without food.
  • If a dose of ROZYTREK is missed, make up that dose unless the next dose is due within 12 hours.
  • If vomiting occurs immediately after taking a dose of ROZLYTREK, repeat that dose.

ROZLYTREK Preparation and Administration Instructions

​ROZLYTREK Capsules

​Swallow capsules whole. Do not crush or chew the capsules.

​ROZLYTREK Capsules Prepared as a Suspension for Oral or Enteral Tube Administration

​It is recommended that a healthcare provider discuss with the patient or caregiver, the volume of water or milk to be added and oral suspension to withdraw, prior to administration of the first dose (see Table 6).

​Table 6 provides the ROZLYTREK dose and volume of room temperature drinking water or milk required to prepare an oral suspension. Instruct patients or caregivers to carefully open capsule(s) and pour the contents into room temperature drinking water or milk to prepare an oral suspension. Let sit for 15 minutes.

​Administer ROZLYTREK oral suspension immediately after preparation.

​Discard any unused suspension if not used within 2 hours.

​Instruct patients to drink water after taking the oral suspension to ensure ROZLYTREK has been completely swallowed.

Enteral Tube Administration

​If enteral administration (e.g., gastric or nasogastric tube) is required, administer the oral suspension via the tube. Use an enteral tube that is 8 FR or higher to administer dosing volumes of 3 mL or higher. Instruct patients to divide dosing volumes of 3 mL or higher into at least two aliquots and flush the tube after each administration. Flush the tube with a volume of water or milk that is equal to the aliquot administered. For a dose volume of 30 mL, divide into at least three (10 mL) aliquots. The tube should be flushed with water or milk after delivering each aliquot of ROZLYTREK.

​Refer to the Instructions for Use for detailed instructions on preparation and administration of ROZLYTREK capsules as an oral suspension via an enteral tube.

ROZLYTREK Oral Pellets

​Sprinkle pellets on one or more spoonfuls of a soft food (e.g., applesauce, yogurt, or pudding) and take within 20 minutes of preparation. Do not crush or chew to avoid a bitter taste.

​The patient should drink water after taking the pellets to ensure the drug has been completely swallowed.

​Do not attempt to use partial quantities of pellets from 50 mg pellet packets to prepare a dose.

​Do not use the pellet formulation for enteral tube administration as the pellets may clog the tube.

​Refer to the Instructions for Use for detailed instructions on preparation and administration of ROZLYTREK oral pellets.
