Important safety information
Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests every 3 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment then once monthly as clinically indicated. Consider administering systemic corticosteroids and withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS based on the severity. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms. Immediately withhold LUMAKRAS for suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified. ( 2.3 , 5.2 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity LUMAKRAS can cause hepatotoxicity and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) which may lead to drug-induced liver injury and hepatitis. In the pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , hepatotoxicity occurred in 27% of patients, of which 16% were Grade ≥ 3. Among patients with hepatotoxicity who required dosage modifications, 64% required treatment with corticosteroids. In this pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg, 17% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had increased ALT/increased AST; of which 9% were Grade ≥ 3. The median time to first onset of increased ALT/AST was 6.3 weeks (range: 0.4 to 42). Increased ALT/AST leading to dose interruption or reduction occurred in 9% of patients treated with LUMAKRAS. LUMAKRAS was permanently discontinued due to increased ALT/AST in 2.7% of patients. Drug-induced liver injury occurred in 1.6% (all grades) including 1.3% (Grade ≥ 3). In this pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg, a total of 40% patients with recent (≤ 3 months) immunotherapy prior to starting LUMAKRAS had an event of hepatotoxicity. An event of hepatotoxicity was observed in 18% of patients who started LUMAKRAS more than 3 months after last dose of immunotherapy and in 17% of those who never received immunotherapy. Regardless of time from prior immunotherapy, 94% of hepatotoxicity events improved or resolved with dosage modification of LUMAKRAS, with or without corticosteroid treatment. In the pooled safety population of patients with CRC who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg in combination with panitumumab [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , hepatotoxicity occurred in 15% of patients, of which 4.8% were Grade 3. A total of 7% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had increased ALT or increased AST, of which 0.8% were Grade 3. The median time to first onset of increased ALT or increased AST was 10 weeks (range: 2 to 22). Increased ALT or increased AST leading to dose interruption occurred in 2.4% of patients. A total of 3.2% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had hyperbilirubinemia, of which 2.4% were Grade 3. The median time to first onset of hyperbilirubinemia was 12 weeks (range: 0, 29). Hyperbilirubinemia leading to dose interruption occurred in 1.6% of patients. Among patients with hepatotoxicity, 21% received corticosteroids. Monitor liver function tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin) prior to the start of LUMAKRAS, every 3 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, then once a month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase and/or bilirubin elevations. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS based on severity of the adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Consider administering systemic corticosteroids for the management of hepatotoxicity. 5.2 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis LUMAKRAS can cause ILD/pneumonitis that can be fatal. In the pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.2% of patients, of which 1.1% were Grade ≥ 3, and 1 case was fatal. The median time to first onset for ILD/pneumonitis was 8.6 weeks (range: 2.1 to 36.7 weeks). LUMAKRAS was permanently discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 1.3% of LUMAKRAS-treated patients. Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold LUMAKRAS in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the pooled safety population of patients with CRC who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg in combination with panitumumab, 1 patient experienced a Grade 1 event of ILD/pneumonitis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .

Interactions
Acid-Reducing Agents: Avoid coadministration with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H 2 receptor antagonists. If an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer LUMAKRAS 4 hours before or 10 hours after a local antacid. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inducers. ( 7.1 ) CYP3A4 Substrates: Avoid coadministration with CYP3A4 substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failures of the substrate. If coadministration cannot be avoided, adjust the substrate dosage in accordance to its Prescribing Information. ( 7.2 ) P-gp substrates: Avoid coadministration with P-gp substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration cannot be avoided, decrease the substrate dosage in accordance to its Prescribing Information. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on LUMAKRAS Acid-Reducing Agents The solubility of sotorasib is pH-dependent. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with gastric acid-reducing agents decreased sotorasib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of sotorasib. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H 2 receptor antagonists, and locally acting antacids. If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer LUMAKRAS 4 hours before or 10 hours after administration of a locally acting antacid [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Sotorasib is a CYP3A4 substrate. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased sotorasib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of sotorasib. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with strong CYP3A4 inducers . 7.2 Effects of LUMAKRAS on Other Drugs CYP3A4 Substrates Sotorasib is a CYP3A4 inducer. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a CYP3A4 substrate decreased its plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of the substrate. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with CYP3A4 sensitive substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failures of the substrate. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the sensitive CYP3A4 substrate dosage in accordance with its Prescribing Information . P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates Sotorasib is a P-gp inhibitor. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a P-gp substrate increased its plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the adverse reactions of the substrate. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with P-gp substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration cannot be avoided, decrease the P-gp substrate dosage in accordance with its Prescribing Information . Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Substrates Sotorasib is a BCRP-inhibitor. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a BCRP substrate increased its plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of the substrate. When coadministered with LUMAKRAS, monitor for adverse reactions of the BCRP substrate and decrease the BCRP substrate dosage in accordance with its Prescribing Information.
