5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Central Nervous System (CNS) Effects: Advise patients and caretakers of the risk of CNS adverse reactions including dizziness, cognitive impairment, mood disorders, and sleep disturbances. Advise patients not to drive or operate hazardous machinery if experiencing neurotoxicity. Withhold and modify dosage, or permanently discontinue VITRAKVI based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Hepatotoxicity: Obtain liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin) before initiation of VITRAKVI and every 2 weeks during the first 2 months of treatment, then monthly thereafter or as clinically indicated. Temporarily withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue VITRAKVI based on severity. ( 2.4 , 5.2 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females with reproductive potential of potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Central Nervous System Effects Central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions occurred in patients receiving VITRAKVI, including dizziness, cognitive impairment, mood disorders, and sleep disturbances. In patients who received VITRAKVI (n=444), all grades CNS effects including cognitive impairment, mood disorders, dizziness and sleep disorders were observed in 40.3% with Grades 3-4 in 3.8% of patients. Cognitive impairment occurred in 11% of patients. The median time to onset of cognitive impairment was 6 months (range: 2 days to 56 months). Cognitive impairment occurring in โฅ 1% of patients included memory impairment (4.1%), disturbance in attention (3.6%), confusional state (2.3%), cognitive disorder (1.6%), delirium (1.4%), and hallucination (1.1%). Grade 3 cognitive adverse reactions occurred in 1.8% of patients and Grade 4 cognitive adverse reactions in 0.2% of patients. Among the 49 patients with cognitive impairment, 6% required a dose modification, and 18% required dose interruption. Mood disorders occurred in 14% of patients. The median time to onset of mood disorders was 3.3 months (range: 1 day to 65 months). Mood disorders occurring in โฅ 1% of patients included anxiety (5%), agitation (3.2%), depression (3.2%), irritability (2.3%), and restlessness (1.1%). Grade 3 mood disorders occurred in 0.9% of patients. Among the 63 patients who experienced mood disorders, no patient required a dose modification, and 1.6% required dose interruption. Dizziness occurred in 22% of patients, and Grade 3 dizziness occurred in 0.9% of patients. Among the 96 patients who experienced dizziness, 6% of patients required a dose modification, and 5% required dose interruption. Sleep disturbances occurred in 12% of patients. Sleep disturbances included insomnia (9%), somnolence (3.4%), and sleep disorder (0.5%). Grade 3 sleep disturbances occurred in 0.2% of patients. Among the 54 patients who experienced sleep disturbances, no patient required a dose modification, and 3.7% required dose interruption. Advise patients and caretakers of these risks with VITRAKVI. Advise patients not to drive or operate hazardous machinery if they are experiencing neurologic adverse reactions. Withhold or permanently discontinue VITRAKVI based on the severity. If withheld, modify the VITRAKVI dosage when resumed [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.2 Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity including drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has occurred in patients taking VITRAKVI. In patients who received VITRAKVI (n=444), increased AST of any grade occurred in 62% of patients and increased ALT of any grade occurred in 61%. Grade 3-4 increased AST or ALT occurred in 7% and 8% of patients, respectively [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . The median time to onset of increased AST was 1.9 months (range: 4 days to 3.8 years). The median time to onset of increased ALT was 1.9 months (range: 1 day to 4.9 years). Increased AST and ALT leading to dose modifications occurred in 1.6% and 3.2% of patients, respectively. Increased AST or ALT led to permanent discontinuation in 4 (0.9%) patients. There have been reports from clinical studies and postmarketing cases of Grade โฅ 2 increases in ALT and/or AST with increases in bilirubin โฅ 2 ร ULN. Obtain liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin) before initiation of VITRAKVI and monitor every 2 weeks during the first 2 months of treatment, then monthly thereafter, or more frequently following the occurrence of Grade 2 or greater AST or ALT elevation. Temporarily withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue VITRAKVI based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 5.3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on literature reports in human subjects with congenital mutations leading to changes in TRK signaling, findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action, VITRAKVI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Larotrectinib resulted in malformations in rats and rabbits at maternal exposures that were approximately 11- and 0.7-times, respectively, those observed at the clinical dose of 100 mg twice daily. Advise women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use an effective method of contraception during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of VITRAKVI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .

Unless noted, data in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to VITRAKVI in 444 patients, including 62% patients exposed for greater than 6 months, 44% patients exposed for greater than 1 year, and 30% patients exposed for greater than 2 years. VITRAKVI was studied in one adult dose-finding trial [LOXO-TRK-14001 (n = 75)], one pediatric dose-finding trial [SCOUT (n = 154)], and one single arm trial [NAVIGATE (n = 215)]. All patients had an unresectable or metastatic solid tumor and no satisfactory alternative treatment options or disease progression following treatment. Across these 444 patients, the median age was 44 years (range: 18 days to 90 years); 35% were younger than 18 years; 53% were female; 59% were White, 24% were Asian and, 4% were Black; and 7% were Hispanic/Latino. Most adults (91%) received VITRAKVI 100 mg orally twice daily and 91% of pediatrics (< 18 years) received VITRAKVI 100 mg/m 2 twice daily up to a maximum dose of 100 mg twice daily. The dose ranged from 50 mg daily to 200 mg twice daily in adults and 9.6 mg/m 2 twice daily to 120 mg/m 2 twice daily in pediatrics [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . The most common serious adverse reactions (โฅ 2%) were pneumonia, pyrexia, and dyspnea. Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions occurred in 60% of patients; adverse reactions leading to dose interruption or modification occurred in 45% and 11% of patients, respectively, and 12% permanently discontinued VITRAKVI for adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions (1% each) that resulted in permanent discontinuation of VITRAKVI were increased ALT and increased AST. The most common adverse reactions (โฅ 3%) resulting in dose interruption were increased ALT (6%), increased AST (5%), neutrophil count decreased (4.7%), pyrexia (4.3%), and vomiting (3.2%). Most (64%) adverse reactions leading to dose interruption occurred during the first three months of exposure. The most common adverse reactions (โฅ 20%), including laboratory abnormalities, in order of decreasing frequency were increased AST, increased ALT, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, musculoskeletal pain, increased alkaline phosphatase, leukopenia, lymphopenia, neutropenia, hypocalcemia, fatigue, vomiting, cough, constipation, pyrexia, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, and rash.
