5. Warnings and Precautions

5.1 Diarrhea

HYRNUO can cause severe diarrhea that can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], diarrhea was reported in 86% of patients who received HYRNUO including Grade 3 in 15%. The median time to first onset of any grade diarrhea was four days. Dosage interruptions occurred in 15% of patients, and dose reductions occurred in 12% of patients.

At the first sign of diarrhea or increased bowel movement frequency, instruct patients to start an antidiarrheal treatment (e.g., loperamide [refer to full Prescribing Information]), and to increase their fluid and electrolyte intake. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.2 Hepatotoxicity

HYRNUO can cause severe hepatotoxicity characterized by elevations of liver function tests. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], based on adverse reaction data, hepatotoxicity occurred in 24% of patients treated with HYRNUO including 3% Grade 3. Based on laboratory data, 35% of patients treated with HYRNUO experienced increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), including 2.3% Grade 3. Increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 35% of patients treated with HYRNUO, including 2.3% Grade 3. Increased bilirubin occurred in 12% of patients treated with HYRNUO. The median time to first onset of AST or ALT elevation was 1.4 (range 0.2 to 14.5) months. HYRNUO was interrupted for an adverse reaction of hepatotoxicity in 4.1% of patients, the dose was reduced in 4.1% and permanently discontinued in 0.4%.

Monitor liver function tests including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin at baseline prior to the first administration of HYRNUO, every 2 weeks for the first month, and then monthly thereafter as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase elevations. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on the severity of the adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.3 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis

HYRNUO can cause severe interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in two patients (0.7%) treated with HYRNUO, including 0.4% Grade 3. One patient required interruption of HYRNUO.

Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Discontinue HYRNUO upon confirmation of ILD/pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.4 Ocular Toxicity

HYRNUO can cause ocular toxicity. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ocular toxicity occurred in 14% of patients treated with HYRNUO, including 11% Grade 1, 2.6% Grade 2 and 0.4% Grade 3 (one case of corneal epithelial microcysts with temporary unilateral blindness).

Promptly refer patients presenting with new or worsening eye symptoms to an ophthalmologist. Interrupt, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.5 Pancreatic Enzyme Elevation

HYRNUO can cause elevations of amylase and lipase levels. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], based on laboratory data, increased amylase occurred in 32% of patients treated with HYRNUO, including 3.2% Grade 3 or 4. Increased lipase elevation occurred in 40% of patients treated with HYRNUO, including 10% Grade 3 or 4. Two patients (0.7%) required interruption of HYRNUO due to increased lipase and 3 (1.1%) required interruption of HYRNUO due to increased amylase. The median time to onset of increased amylase/lipase was 1.4 months (range 0.2 to 17 months).

Monitor amylase and lipase regularly during treatment with HYRNUO. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HYRNUO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.6 Embryo-fetal toxicity

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, HYRNUO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of sevabertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in alterations to growth at maternal exposures ≥0.18 times the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 20 mg twice daily. Animal studies with disrupted or depleted HER2/EGFR and in vitro assays have demonstrated that inhibition of HER2 and/or EGFR results in structural abnormalities, alteration to growth, and embryo-fetal and infant mortality.

Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with HYRNUO and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with HYRNUO and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

6.1. Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The pooled safety population in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to HYRNUO at 20 mg orally twice daily in 268 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring HER2 and/or other mutations from the SOHO-01 study [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Among 268 patients who received HYRNUO, 35% were exposed for greater than 6 months and 12% were exposed for greater than 1 year. In this pooled safety population, the most common (>20%) adverse reactions were diarrhea, rash, stomatitis, and paronychia. The most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were decreased potassium, increased lipase, decreased lymphocyte count, decreased sodium, increased amylase, increased ALT, and increased AST.

The safety of HYRNUO at 20 mg orally twice daily was evaluated in 136 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring HER2 activating mutations who had received prior systemic therapy in the SOHO-01 study [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Among 136 patients who received HYRNUO, 46% were exposed greater than 6 months and 15% were exposed for greater than 1 year. The median age of patients who received HYRNUO was 62 years (range: 29 to 91); 63% female; 65% Asian, 27% White, 3.7% Black or African American; and 2.2% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.

The most common adverse reactions (>20%) in patients who received HYRNUO were diarrhea, rash, paronychia, stomatitis, and nausea. The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) were potassium decreased, lipase increased, lymphocyte count decreased, sodium decreased, amylase increased, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 31% of patients who received HYRNUO. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients were diarrhea (6%), pneumonia (3.7%), dyspnea (2.2%), and pleural effusion (2.2%).

Permanent discontinuation of HYRNUO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3.7% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation were corneal epithelial microcysts, hepatic function abnormal, electrocardiogram QT prolonged, pain in extremity and dyspnea (0.7%, 1 patient each).

Dosage interruptions of HYRNUO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 46% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in dosage interruptions in >3% of patients were diarrhea, hypokalemia, nausea, decreased appetite, and pneumonia.

Dose reductions of HYRNUO due to adverse reactions occurred in 28% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in dose reductions in >2% of patients were diarrhea, rash, and hypokalemia.

8.1. Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], HYRNUO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of HYRNUO in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of sevabertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in alterations to growth at maternal exposures ≥0.18 times the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 20 mg twice daily. Animal studies with disrupted or depleted HER2/EGFR and in vitro assays have demonstrated that inhibition of HER2 and/or EGFR results in structural abnormalities, alteration to growth, and embryo-fetal and infant mortality (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, sevabertinib was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 17 at doses ranging from 1.5 to 11 mg/kg/day. Sevabertinib treatment resulted in maternal toxicity (reduced body weight and body weight gain) and a reduction in fetal weights at ≥6 mg/kg/day (≥0.18 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose).

Additional Nonclinical Data

A literature-based assessment of the effects on reproduction in mouse models with disrupted or depleted HER2/EGFR demonstrated that HER2/EGFR is critically important in reproductive and developmental processes including blastocyst implantation, placental development, and embryo-fetal/postnatal survival and development.

In a human-induced pluripotent stem cell-based assay, sevabertinib reduced cardiomyocyte and hepatocyte differentiation markers.

8.2. Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of sevabertinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on a breastfed child or on milk production. In rats, sevabertinib or its metabolites are excreted in milk (see Data). Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children from HYRNUO, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with HYRNUO and for 1 week after the last dose.

Data

Animal Data

Following administration of radiolabeled sevabertinib to lactating rats, sevabertinib or its metabolites were excreted in milk. Sevabertinib-derived radioactivity concentrations were 13- to 26-times higher in milk than in plasma. Approximately 1.3% of the administered dose of sevabertinib-derived radioactivity was excreted into the milk.

8.3. Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

HYRNUO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Pregnancy Testing

Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating HYRNUO.

Contraception

Females

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with HYRNUO and for 1 week after the last dose.

Males

Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with HYRNUO and for 1 week after the last dose.

8.4. Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of HYRNUO have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5. Geriatric Use

Of the 268 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring HER2 activating mutations who received HYRNUO at 20 mg twice daily in the SOHO-01study, 43% were 65 years and over and 13% were 75 years and over. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these older and younger patients. Grade 3 diarrhea was observed in 23% of patients age ≥75 years and 14% of patients <75 years old.
