Patient Selection

Select patients for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with PEMAZYRE based on the presence of an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test.

Information on FDA-approved test(s) for the detection of an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement in cholangiocarcinoma is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.

Select patients for the treatment of relapsed or refractory myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with FGFR1 rearrangement with PEMAZYRE based on the presence of an FGFR1 rearrangement. An FDA-approved test for detection of FGFR1 rearrangement in patients with relapsed or refractory myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm for selecting patients for treatment with PEMAZYRE is not available.

Recommended Dosage

Take PEMAZYRE with or without food at approximately the same time every day.

Swallow tablets whole. Do not crush, chew, split, or dissolve tablets.

If the patient misses a dose of PEMAZYRE by 4 or more hours or if vomiting occurs, resume dosing with the next scheduled dose.

Cholangiocarcinoma

The recommended dosage of PEMAZYRE is 13.5 mg orally once daily for 14 consecutive days followed by 7 days off therapy, in 21-day cycles. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

The recommended dosage of PEMAZYRE is 13.5 mg orally once daily on a continuous basis. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Dosage Modification for Adverse Reactions

The recommended dose reductions for adverse reactions are provided in Table 1.

Dosage Modification for Concomitant Use with Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors

Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors with PEMAZYRE. If concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided:

• Reduce PEMAZYRE dosage from 13.5 mg to 9 mg.
• Reduce PEMAZYRE dosage from 9 mg to 4.5 mg.

If concomitant use of a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor is discontinued, increase the PEMAZYRE dosage (after 3 plasma half-lives of the CYP3A inhibitor) to the dosage that was used before starting the strong or moderate inhibitor.

Recommended Dosage for Severe Renal Impairment

The recommended dosage of PEMAZYRE for patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR estimated by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2) is 9 mg with the schedule (intermittent or continuous) designated for the indication.

Recommended Dosage for Severe Hepatic Impairment

The recommended dosage of PEMAZYRE for patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 × ULN with any AST) is 9 mg with the schedule (intermittent or continuous) designated for the indication.
