Selpercatinib Dosage and Administration

General

Pretreatment Screening

• Confirm presence of a RET gene fusion (NSCLC, thyroid cancer, or other solid tumors) or specific RET gene mutation (medullary thyroid cancer).

• Assess serum ALT and AST concentrations.

• Assess blood pressure. Do not initiate selpercatinib therapy in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

• Assess risk for developing QT_c interval prolongation. Assess QT interval, electrolyte concentrations, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations at baseline. Correct electrolyte abnormalities (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia) prior to initiation of and during selpercatinib therapy.

• Assess patient for risk of tumor lysis syndrome (e.g., high tumor burden, rapidly growing tumors, renal dysfunction, dehydration) and consider appropriate prophylaxis (e.g., adequate hydration).

• Assess thryoid function.

• Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential.

Patient Monitoring

• Assess serum ALT and AST concentrations every 2 weeks for the first 3 months of therapy, monthly thereafter, and as clinically indicated.

• Monitor blood pressure 1 week following initiation of selpercatinib therapy, at least monthly thereafter, and as clinically indicated.

• Skeletal and tooth abnormalities observed in immature animals receiving selpercatinib; monitor growth plates in adolescents with open growth plates.

• Assess QT interval periodically during therapy; adjust frequency of monitoring based upon risk factors (i.e., diarrhea, concomitant use of drugs known to prolong the QT_c interval or potent or moderate CYP3A inhibitors).

• Assess electrolyte and TSH concentrations periodically during therapy; adjust frequency of monitoring based upon risk factors (including diarrhea).

• Closely monitor patients at risk for tumor lysis syndrome (e.g., high tumor burden, rapidly growing tumors, renal dysfunction, dehydration).

• Monitor patients for pulmonary symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, cough, and fever) that may indicate interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis.

• Monitor thyroid function periodically during treatment.

Dispensing and Administration

• Based on the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), selpercatinib is a high-alert medication that has a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm when used in error.

Administration

Oral Administration

Warnings/Precautions

Sensitivity Reactions

Hypersensitivity

Hypersensitivity, including grade 3 reactions, reported. Median time to onset of hypersensitivity is 1.9 weeks.

If hypersensitivity occurs, interrupt selpercatinib therapy until reaction resolves and initiate corticosteroid therapy (1 mg/kg of prednisone [or equivalent]). Upon resolution of the reaction, resume selpercatinib therapy at a reduced dosage and gradually increase to dosage used prior to onset of the hypersensitivity reaction, then taper corticosteroid dosage. Permanently discontinue selpercatinib therapy for recurrent hypersensitivity.

Hepatotoxicity

Serious hepatic adverse reactions reported. Median time to onset of increased AST or ALT concentrations was approximately 6 or 5.8 weeks, respectively.

Monitor ALT and AST concentrations prior to initiating selpercatinib, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months of therapy, monthly thereafter, and as clinically indicated. If hepatotoxicity occurs, interruption of drug therapy, dosage reduction, or permanent discontinuance of therapy may be necessary.

Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis

Serious, life-threatening, and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis has been reported.

Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Withhold selpercatinib and promptly evaluate for ILD in any patient who presents with acute or worsening of respiratory symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, cough, and fever). Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue therapy based on severity of confirmed ILD.

Hypertension

Hypertension, including grade 3 and 4 hypertension, reported. Treatment-emergent hypertension commonly managed with antihypertensive therapy.

Do not initiate selpercatinib in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Assess BP prior to initiation of therapy, and monitor after 1 week of therapy, at least monthly thereafter, and as clinically indicated. Initiate antihypertensive therapy or adjust as appropriate to control BP during therapy. If hypertension occurs, interruption of drug therapy, dosage reduction, or permanent discontinuance of therapy may be necessary.

Prolongation of QT Interval

Selpercatinib causes concentration-dependent QT interval prolongation; the drug has not been studied in patients with clinically important active cardiovascular disease or recent myocardial infarction.

Monitor patients who are at substantial risk of developing QT_c interval prolongation, including patients with known long QT syndromes, clinically important bradyarrhythmias, and severe or uncontrolled heart failure. Assess QT interval, electrolyte concentrations, and TSH at baseline and periodically during treatment, adjusting frequency based upon risk factors (e.g., diarrhea). Correct electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia) prior to initiation and during therapy.

Monitor QT interval more frequently when selpercatinib is concomitantly administered with moderate or potent CYP3A inhibitors or drugs known to prolong QT_c interval. If QT interval prolongation occurs, interruption of drug therapy, dosage reduction, or permanent discontinuance of therapy may be necessary.

Hemorrhagic Events

Serious, including fatal, hemorrhagic events reported.

Permanently discontinue therapy in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage. If grade 3 or 4 hemorrhagic event occurs, temporarily interrupt selpercatinib therapy until the hemorrhagic event improves to baseline or grade 1.

Tumor Lysis Syndrome

Tumor lysis syndrome reported in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma receiving selpercatinib.

Closely monitor patients at risk for tumor lysis syndrome (e.g., those with rapidly growing tumors, high tumor burden, renal dysfunction, dehydration). Consider appropriate prophylaxis (e.g., adequate hydration). If tumor lysis syndrome occurs, treat patients as clinically indicated.

Wound Healing Complications

Inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway, such as selpercatinib, may impair wound healing.

Withhold selpercatinib therapy for ≥7 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer selpercatinib for ≥2 weeks following major surgery and until adequate wound healing has occurred. Safety of resuming selpercatinib therapy following resolution of wound healing complications not established.

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism reported; all reported reactions were grade 1 or 2.

Monitor thyroid function before treatment with selpercatinib and periodically during treatment. Treat with thyroid hormone replacement as clinically indicated. Withhold until clinically stable or permanently discontinue based on severity.

Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality

May cause fetal harm. Embryofetal toxicity (i.e., postimplantation loss, early resorption, decreased fetal body weight) and teratogenicity (i.e., short tail, small snout, localized edema of the neck and thorax) observed in pregnant rats.

Verify pregnancy status prior to initiating therapy. Avoid pregnancy during therapy. Females of reproductive potential should use effective methods of contraception while receiving selpercatinib and for ≥1 week after the final dose. Advise males who are partners of such females to use effective methods of contraception while receiving the drug and for ≥1 week after the final dose. If used during pregnancy, apprise patient of the potential fetal hazard.

Impairment of Fertility

Results of animal studies suggest selpercatinib may impair male and female fertility.

Specific Populations

Pregnancy

May cause fetal harm.

Verify pregnancy status prior to initiating therapy. Avoid pregnancy during therapy.

Lactation

Not known whether selpercatinib or its metabolites are distributed into milk, affect milk production, or affect nursing infants. Women should not breast-feed during therapy and for 1 week following the final dose.

Pediatric Use

Safety and efficacy not established for treatment of metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC.

Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients ≥12 years of age with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer and RET mutation-positive medullary thyroid cancer supported by extrapolation of data from clinical studies evaluating selpercatinib in adults and pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients ≥12 years of age.

Skeletal (i.e., physeal hypertrophy) abnormalities that were not reversible observed in immature animals (equivalent to a human child to late adolescent) receiving selpercatinib. Growth plate changes were associated with impairment of bone modeling, resulting in decreased femur length, and with reduction in bone mineral density. Other abnormalities noted in animal studies include reversible hypocellularity of bone marrow in males and reversible alterations of dentin composition.

Monitor growth plates in adolescents with open growth plates. If growth plate abnormalities occur, consider interrupting or discontinuing therapy based on severity of the abnormality and individual risk-benefit assessment.

In pediatric patients 6 months to 21 years of age enrolled in a clinical trial evaluating selpercatinib in advanced solid or primary CNS tumors^{† [off-label]} harboring an activating RET aberration (LOXO-RET-18036; NCT03899792), growth plate monitoring, dental examinations, and physical development (i.e., Tanner staging) were assessed.

Geriatric Use

No overall differences in safety relative to younger adults observed.

Hepatic Impairment

Mild hepatic impairment (not exceeding the ULN with AST concentration exceeding the ULN, or total bilirubin concentration >1–1.5 times the ULN with any AST concentration): AUC of selpercatinib increased by 7%; no dosage adjustment needed.

Moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin concentration >1.5–3 times the ULN with any AST concentration): AUC of selpercatinib increased by 32%; no dosage adjustment needed.

Severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin concentration >3–10 times the ULN and any AST concentration): AUC of selpercatinib increased by 77%; reduce selpercatinib dosage to 80 mg twice daily.

Renal Impairment

Mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (eGFR of 15–89 mL/minute) do not substantially affect pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib; no dosage adjustment needed.

Pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib not established in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Drugs Affecting Hepatic Microsomal Enzymes

Potent CYP3A inhibitors: Possible increased selpercatinib plasma concentrations and potentially increased risk of selpercatinib toxicity. Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use of a potent CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided in patients receiving selpercatinib 120 mg twice daily, reduce dosage of selpercatinib to 40 mg twice daily. If concomitant use of a potent CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided in patients receiving selpercatinib 160 mg twice daily, reduce dosage of selpercatinib to 80 mg twice daily. When concomitant use of the potent CYP3A inhibitor is discontinued, return selpercatinib dosage (after 3–5 elimination half-lives of the CYP3A inhibitor) to dosage used prior to initiation of the potent CYP3A inhibitor.

Moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Possible increased selpercatinib plasma concentrations and potentially increased risk of selpercatinib toxicity. Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use of a moderate CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided in patients receiving selpercatinib 120 mg twice daily, reduce dosage of selpercatinib to 80 mg twice daily. If concomitant use of a moderate CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided in patients receiving selpercatinib 160 mg twice daily, reduce dosage of selpercatinib to 120 mg twice daily. When concomitant use of the moderate CYP3A inhibitor is discontinued, return selpercatinib dosage (after 3–5 elimination half-lives of the CYP3A inhibitor) to dosage used prior to initiation of the moderate CYP3A inhibitor.

Moderate or potent CYP3A inducers: Possible decreased selpercatinib concentrations and reduced selpercatinib efficacy. Avoid concomitant use.

Drugs Metabolized by Hepatic Microsomal Enzymes

CYP2C8 and 3A substrates: Possible increased systemic exposure to the CYP2C8 or 3A substrate and increased risk of adverse effects of the substrate drug. Avoid concomitant use with CYP2C8 or CYP3A substrates that have a narrow therapeutic index. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, adjust dosage of CYP2C8 or 3A substrate as appropriate.

P-gp Inhibitor Substrates

Possible increased systemic exposure and increased incidence of adverse reactions related to these substrate drugs. Avoid concomitant use with P-gp substrates that have a narrow therapeutic index. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, follow recommendations for P-gp substrates provided in their approved product labeling.

Drugs Affecting Gastric Acidity

Concomitant use with drugs that reduce gastric acidity may result in decreased systemic exposure of selpercatinib and reduced selpercatinib efficacy.

Proton-pump Inhibitors: Possible decreased systemic exposure of selpercatinib; however, concomitant administration with omeprazole in a fed state does not significantly change systemic exposure of selpercatinib. Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, administer selpercatinib with food.

Histamine H₂-receptor Antagonist: No clinically important changes in pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib. Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, administer selpercatinib 2 hours before or 10 hours after administration of the histamine H₂-receptor antagonist.

Antacids: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, administer selpercatinib 2 hours before or 2 hours after administration of the antacid.

Drugs that Prolong the QT Interval

If a drug known to prolong the QT interval must be used concomitantly with selpercatinib, monitor ECG more frequently.
