Uses

LAZCLUZE, in combination with amivantamab, is indicated for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. LAZCLUZE is a kinase inhibitor indicated in combination with amivantamab for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test. (1)

Dosage and administration

The recommended dosage of LAZCLUZE is 240 mg orally once daily with or without food, given in combination with amivantamab. (2.2) Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (2.2) Administer LAZCLUZE any time prior to amivantamab when given on the same day. (2.2) Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended amivantamab dosing information. (2.2) Administer prophylactic and concomitant medications to reduce the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions. (2.3) Administer anticoagulant prophylaxis to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) for the first four months of treatment. (2.3)

2.1Patient Selection

Select patients for the first-line treatment of NSCLC with LAZCLUZE, in combination with amivantamab, based on the presence of EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations in tumor or plasma specimens [see Clinical Studies (14)]. If these mutations are not detected in a plasma specimen, test tumor tissue. Information on FDA-approved tests is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of LAZCLUZE is 240 mg orally once daily administered in combination with amivantamab, with or without food. Swallow LAZCLUZE tablets whole. Do not crush, split, or chew. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Administer LAZCLUZE any time prior to amivantamab when given on the same day. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended amivantamab dosing information. Missed Dose If a patient misses a dose of LAZCLUZE within 12 hours, instruct patients to take the missed dose. If more than 12 hours has passed since the dose was to be given, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its scheduled time. Vomiting If vomiting occurs any time after taking LAZCLUZE, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its next regularly scheduled time. 2.3 Prophylactic and Concomitant Medications Venous Thromboembolic Events When initiating treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, administer anticoagulant prophylaxis to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) for the first four months of treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. If there are no signs or symptoms of VTE during the first four months of treatment, consider discontinuation of anticoagulant prophylaxis at the discretion of the healthcare provider. Dermatologic Adverse Reactions When initiating treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, prophylactic and concomitant medications are recommended to reduce the risk and severity of dermatologic adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Administer an oral antibiotic (doxycycline or minocycline, 100 mg orally twice daily) starting on Day 1 for the first 12 weeks of treatment. After completion of oral antibiotic treatment, administer antibiotic lotion to the scalp (clindamycin 1% topical once daily) for the next 9 months of treatment. Administer non-comedogenic skin moisturizer (ceramide-based or other formulations that provide long-lasting skin hydration and exclude drying agents) on the face and whole body (except scalp). Wash hands and feet with 4% chlorhexidine solution once daily. Limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment. Advise patients to wear protective clothing and use broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen to reduce the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions. 2.4 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended LAZCLUZE dose reductions for adverse reactions are presented in Table 1.

5.1Venous Thromboembolic Events

LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause serious and fatal venous thromboembolic events (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The majority of these events occurred during the first four months of therapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. In MARIPOSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], VTE occurred in 36% of patients receiving LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 10% and Grade 4 in 0.5% of patients. On-study VTEs occurred in 1.2% of patients (n=5) while receiving anticoagulation therapy. There were two fatal cases of VTE (0.5%), 7% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of LAZCLUZE, 0.5% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of LAZCLUZE, and 1.9% of patients permanently discontinued LAZCLUZE due to VTE. The median time to onset of VTEs was 84 days (range: 6 to 777). Administer prophylactic anticoagulation for the first four months of treatment [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. The use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended. Monitor for signs and symptoms of VTE and treat as medically appropriate. Withhold LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Once anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, resume LAZCLUZE and amivantamab at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. In the event of VTE recurrence despite therapeutic anticoagulation, permanently discontinue amivantamab. Continue treatment with LAZCLUZE at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended amivantamab dosage modification. 5.2 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. In MARIPOSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.1% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 1.0% and Grade 4 in 0.2% of patients. There was one fatal case (0.2%) of ILD/pneumonitis and 2.9% of patients permanently discontinued LAZCLUZE and amivantamab due to ILD/pneumonitis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold LAZCLUZE and amivantamab in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. 5.3 Dermatologic Adverse Reactions LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause severe rash including dermatitis acneiform, pruritus and dry skin. In MARIPOSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], rash occurred in 86% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 26% of patients. The median time to onset of rash was 14 days (range: 1 to 556 days). Rash leading to dose reduction of LAZCLUZE occurred in 19% of patients, rash leading to dose interruption of LAZCLUZE occurred in 30% of patients, and LAZCLUZE was permanently discontinued due to rash in 1.7% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. When initiating treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, prophylactic and concomitant medications are recommended to reduce the risk and severity of dermatologic adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Instruct patients to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab. Advise patients to wear protective clothing and use broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen. If skin reactions develop, administer supportive care including topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics. For Grade 3 reactions, administer oral steroids and consider dermatologic consultation. Promptly refer patients presenting with severe rash, atypical appearance or distribution, or lack of improvement within 2 weeks to a dermatologist. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. 5.4 Hepatotoxicity LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause severe hepatotoxicity (including increased ALT and AST). In MARIPOSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], based on adverse reaction data, hepatotoxicity occurred in 49% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE, including Grade 3 in 9.3% of patients and Grade 4 in 0.5%. LAZCLUZE was interrupted for an adverse reaction of hepatotoxicity in 8% of patients, the dose was reduced in 1.4% and permanently discontinued in 0.2%. Perform liver function tests (including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin) before initiation of LAZCLUZE and during treatment, as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. 5.5 Ocular Toxicity LAZCLUZE, in combination with amivantamab, can cause ocular toxicity, including keratitis. In MARIPOSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ocular toxicity occurred in 16% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 or 4 ocular toxicity in 0.7% of patients. Promptly refer patients presenting with new or worsening eye symptoms to an ophthalmologist. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue amivantamab and continue LAZCLUZE based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. 5.6 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of lazertinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced embryo-fetal survival and fetal body weight in rats and malformations in rabbits at exposures approximately 4 and 0.5 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC. 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 LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

Drug interactions

Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers: Avoid concomitant use. (7.1)

7.1Effect of Other

Drugs on LAZCLUZE CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of LAZCLUZE with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Consider an alternate concomitant medication with no potential to induce CYP3A4. Lazertinib is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreased lazertinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce the efficacy of lazertinib. 7.2 Effect of LAZCLUZE on Other Drugs Certain CYP3A4 Substrates Monitor for adverse reactions associated with a CYP3A4 substrate where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, as recommended in the approved product labeling for the CYP3A4 substrate. Lazertinib is a weak CYP3A4 inhibitor. Concomitant use of LAZCLUZE increased concentrations of CYP3A4 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain BCRP Substrates Monitor for adverse reactions associated with a BCRP substrate where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, as recommended in the approved product labeling for the BCRP substrate. Lazertinib is a BCRP inhibitor. Concomitant use of LAZCLUZE increased concentrations of BCRP substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Use in specific populations

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2)

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of LAZCLUZE in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of lazertinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced embryo-fetal survival and fetal body weight in rats and malformations in rabbits at exposures approximately 4 and 0.5 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC (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 an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 7.5, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 17). Lazertinib decreased fetal body weights in association with maternal toxicity at 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC). In a dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, oral administration of a higher dose of lazertinib (75 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in increased post-implantation loss. In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of 5, 25, or 45 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 19). Lazertinib caused maternal toxicity (reduced body weight and food consumption leading to moribund condition and early termination) and an increase in the incidence of skeletal malformations in the vertebra and skull (fused maxillary process/zygomatic arch) at 45 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC). 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of lazertinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for lactation information during treatment with amivantamab. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Based on animal data and its mechanism of action, LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LAZCLUZE. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended duration of contraception during treatment with amivantamab. Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAZCLUZE and for 3 weeks after the last dose. Infertility Based on findings in animals, LAZCLUZE may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential. The effects on female fertility were reversible. The effects on male testes in animal studies were not reversible within a 2-week recovery period [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LAZCLUZE in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 421 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab in MARIPOSA, 45% were 65 years and older and 12% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients aged 65 and older and younger patients. 8.6 Renal Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 - 89 mL/min) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. LAZCLUZE has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (eGFR < 30 mL/min). 8.7 Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN or total bilirubin ≤ 1.5×ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 to 3×ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. LAZCLUZE has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3×ULN and any AST).

Pregnancy

Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of LAZCLUZE in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of lazertinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced embryo-fetal survival and fetal body weight in rats and malformations in rabbits at exposures approximately 4 and 0.5 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC (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 an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 7.5, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 17). Lazertinib decreased fetal body weights in association with maternal toxicity at 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC). In a dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, oral administration of a higher dose of lazertinib (75 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in increased post-implantation loss. In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of 5, 25, or 45 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 19). Lazertinib caused maternal toxicity (reduced body weight and food consumption leading to moribund condition and early termination) and an increase in the incidence of skeletal malformations in the vertebra and skull (fused maxillary process/zygomatic arch) at 45 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC).

Use in children

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

Use in older adults

Of the 421 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab in MARIPOSA, 45% were 65 years and older and 12% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients aged 65 and older and younger patients.

Description

LAZCLUZE ® tablets contain lazertinib, a kinase inhibitor for oral use. Lazertinib is present as lazertinib mesylate hydrate with a molecular weight of 668.77 and molecular formula of C 30 H 34 N 8 O 3 ∙CH 4 O 3 S∙H 2 O. The chemical name is N -[5-[[4-[4-[(Dimethylamino)methyl]-3-phenyl-1 H -pyrazol-1-yl]pyrimidin-2-yl]amino]-4-methoxy-2-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]acrylamide methanesulfonate hydrate (1:1:1). Lazertinib mesylate hydrate is soluble or practically insoluble in aqueous media, and slightly soluble to freely soluble in organic solvents over a wide range of pH values. The structural formula is: LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) film-coated tablets contain 80 mg or 240 mg of lazertinib, equivalent to 93.86 and 281.58 mg lazertinib mesylate (calculated on anhydrous basis), respectively. The inactive ingredients are croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and silica hydrophobic colloidal. The tablet coating consists of glycerol monocaprylocaprate type I, iron oxide black (in 240 mg strength tablets), iron oxide red (in 240 mg strength tablets), iron oxide yellow (in 80 mg strength tablets), macrogol (PEG) polyvinyl alcohol graft copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol-partially hydrolyzed, talc, and titanium dioxide. Chemical Structure

How it works

Lazertinib is a kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) that inhibits EGFR exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R substitution mutations at lower concentrations than wild-type EGFR. In human NSCLC cells and mouse xenograft models of EGFR exon 19 deletions or EGFR L858R substitution mutations, lazertinib demonstrated anti-tumor activity. Treatment with lazertinib in combination with amivantamab increased in vivo anti-tumor activity compared to either agent alone in a mouse xenograft model of human NSCLC with an EGFR L858R mutation.
