How vimseltinib is dosed

From the FDA label for Romvimza (application NDA219304). Other vimseltinib products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

Recommended Dosage : 30 mg orally twice weekly, with a minimum of 72 hours between doses as described in the blister package. ( 2.1 ) See full prescribing information for dosage modifications due to hepatotoxicity and drug interactions. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ROMVIMZA is 30 mg orally taken twice weekly, with a minimum of 72 hours between doses, as directed on the blister package [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Instruct patients to follow the schedule on the blister package and to take ROMVIMZA on the same days each week. ROMVIMZA may be taken with or without food. Swallow ROMVIMZA capsules whole. Do not open, break, or chew the capsules. If a dose is missed by 48 hours or less, take the missed dose as soon as possible and take the next dose on its regularly scheduled day. If a dose is missed by more than 48 hours, skip the missed dose, and take the next dose on its regularly scheduled day. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes of taking a dose, repeat that dose. Otherwise, take the next dose on its regularly scheduled day. 2.2 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended dose reductions for adverse reactions are provided in Table 1 . Table 1: Recommended Dose Reductions Dose Reduction Twice Weekly Dose First 20 mg Second 14 mg Permanently discontinue ROMVIMZA in patients who are unable to tolerate 14 mg orally twice…

Vimseltinib side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%), including laboratory abnormalities are increased AST, periorbital edema, fatigue, rash, increased cholesterol, peripheral edema, face edema, decreased neutrophils, decreased leukocytes, pruritus, and increased ALT. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, LLC at 1-888-724-3274 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 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 described in the Warnings and Precautions reflects exposure to ROMVIMZA in 83 patients with TGCT enrolled in the double-blind portion and in 35 patients with TGCT in the open-label portion who crossed over to ROMVIMZA in MOTION, and in 135 patients with TGCT or solid tumors in other clinical trials. The safety of ROMVIMZA was evaluated in 83 adult patients with TGCT in MOTION [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . MOTION excluded patients with bilirubin, AST, or ALT >ULN. All patients received ROMVIMZA twice…

Vimseltinib drug interactions

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates : Avoid concomitant use with P-gp substrates. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, take ROMVIMZA at least 4 hours prior to P-gp substrates. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) substrates : Avoid concomitant use with BCRP substrates. ( 7.1 ) Organic Cation Transporter 2 (OCT) substrates : Avoid concomitant use with OCT2 substrates. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of ROMVIMZA on Other Drugs Table 5 describes drug interactions where concomitant use with ROMVIMZA affects another drug. Table 5: Effect of ROMVIMZA on Other Drugs P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with P-gp substrates while taking ROMVIMZA. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, take ROMVIMZA at least 4 hours prior to P-gp substrates [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] unless otherwise recommended in the substrate Prescribing Information. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) This recommendation is based upon a mechanistic understanding of vimseltinib pharmacokinetics and it being a P-gp inhibitor in vitro [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with P-gp substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically. Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) substrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with BCRP substrates while taking ROMVIMZA. Refer to the Prescribing Information of the BCRP substrate for dose modifications if concomitant use cannot be avoided. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) This recommendation is based upon a mechanistic understanding of vimseltinib pharmacokinetics and it being a BCRP inhibitor in vitro [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with BCRP substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically. Organic Cation Transporter 2 (OCT2) substrates Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with OCT2 substrates while taking ROMVIMZA. Refer to the Prescribing Information of the OCT2 substrate for dose modifications if concomitant use cannot be avoided. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s) This recommendation is based upon a mechanistic understanding of vimseltinib pharmacokinetics and it being an OCT2 inhibitor in vitro [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with OCT2 substrates may increase exposure of these substrates; however, this has not been studied clinically.

What people report to the FDA about vimseltinib

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 4 reports naming vimseltinib, and the FDA flagged 100% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:

  • abdominal pain1 reports
  • eczema1 reports
  • hepatotoxicity1 reports
  • metabolic encephalopathy1 reports
  • oedema peripheral1 reports

Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean vimseltinib caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions

What is vimseltinib?

Romvimza (Vimseltinib) is a medication used to treat Giant Cell Tumor of Tendon Sheath.

Can you take vimseltinib with other medicines?

It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run vimseltinib against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.

What forms does vimseltinib come in?

Across the brands we track, vimseltinib is currently marketed as capsule, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.

Is there a generic vimseltinib?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled vimseltinib product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
