    150 mg: oval-shaped, yellow, film-coated, debossed with “TUC” on one side and “150” on the other side.
  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    None.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

         

    5.1 Diarrhea

    TUKYSA can cause severe diarrhea including dehydration, hypotension, acute kidney injury, and death [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    If diarrhea occurs, administer antidiarrheal treatment as clinically indicated. Perform diagnostic tests as clinically indicated to exclude other causes of diarrhea. Based on the severity of the diarrhea, interrupt dose, then dose reduce or permanently discontinue TUKYSA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

    TUKYSA with trastuzumab and capecitabine

    In HER2CLIMB, 81% of patients who received TUKYSA experienced diarrhea, including 0.5% with Grade 4 diarrhea and 12% with Grade 3 diarrhea. Both patients who developed Grade 4 diarrhea subsequently died, with diarrhea as a contributor to death. The median time to onset of the first episode of diarrhea was 12 days and the median time to resolution was 8 days. Diarrhea led to dose reductions of TUKYSA in 6% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 1% of patients. Prophylactic use of antidiarrheal treatment was not required on HER2CLIMB.

    TUKYSA with trastuzumab

    In MOUNTAINEER, diarrhea occurred in 64% of patients, including Grade 3 (3.5%), Grade 2 (10%), and Grade 1 (50%).

    5.2 Hepatotoxicity

    TUKYSA can cause severe hepatotoxicity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

    Monitor ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to starting TUKYSA, every 3 weeks during treatment, and as clinically indicated. Based on the severity of hepatotoxicity, interrupt dose, then dose reduce or permanently discontinue TUKYSA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

    TUKYSA with trastuzumab and capecitabine

    In HER2CLIMB, 8% of patients who received TUKYSA had an ALT increase > 5 × ULN, 6% had an AST increase > 5 × ULN, and 1.5% had a bilirubin increase > 3 × ULN (Grade ≥3). Hepatotoxicity led to dose reduction of TUKYSA in 8% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 1.5% of patients.

    TUKYSA with trastuzumab

    In MOUNTAINEER, 6% of patients had a bilirubin increase > 3 × ULN (Grade ≥3), 6% had an AST increase > 5 × ULN, and 4.7% had an ALT increase > 5 × ULN. Hepatotoxicity led to dose reduction of TUKYSA in 3.5% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 2.3% of patients.

    5.3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

    Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TUKYSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of tucatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal mortality, reduced fetal weight and fetal abnormalities at maternal exposures ≥ 1.3 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose.

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

    TUKYSA is used in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of trastuzumab and capecitabine for pregnancy and contraception information.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

    Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
    Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]

    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.

    HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

    The safety of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine was evaluated in HER2CLIMB [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received either TUKYSA 300 mg twice daily plus trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product, and capecitabine (n=404) or placebo plus trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product and capecitabine (n=197). The median duration of treatment was 5.8 months (range: 3 days, 2.9 years) for the TUKYSA arm.

    Serious adverse reactions occurred in 26% of patients who received TUKYSA. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients who received TUKYSA were diarrhea (4%), vomiting (2.5%), nausea (2%), abdominal pain (2%), and seizure (2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients who received TUKYSA including sudden death, sepsis, dehydration, and cardiogenic shock.

    Adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 6% of patients who received TUKYSA. Adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation of TUKYSA in ≥1% of patients were hepatotoxicity (1.5%) and diarrhea (1%).

    Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction occurred in 21% of patients who received TUKYSA. Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction of TUKYSA in ≥2% of patients were hepatotoxicity (8%) and diarrhea (6%).

    The most common adverse reactions in patients who received TUKYSA (≥20%) were diarrhea, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, nausea, hepatotoxicity, vomiting, stomatitis, decreased appetite, anemia, and rash.

    The mean increase in serum creatinine was 32% within the first 21 days of treatment with TUKYSA. The serum creatinine increases persisted throughout treatment and were reversible upon treatment completion. Consider alternative markers of renal function if persistent elevations in serum creatinine are observed [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

    RAS Wild-Type, HER2-Positive Unresectable or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

    The safety of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product was evaluated in 86 patients enrolled in MOUNTAINEER with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. The median duration of exposure to TUKYSA was 6.9 months (range 0.7, 49.3).

    Serious adverse reactions occurred in 22% of patients. Serious adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 2% of patients were intestinal obstruction (7%), urinary tract infection (3.5%), pneumonia (2.3%), abdominal pain (2.3%) and rectal perforation (2.3%).

    Permanent discontinuation of TUKYSA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 6% of patients. The adverse reaction which resulted in permanent discontinuation of TUKYSA in ≥2% of patients was increased ALT (2.3%). Dosage interruptions of TUKYSA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 23% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥3% of patients were increased ALT (3.5%) and diarrhea (3.5%). Dose reductions of TUKYSA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥2% of patients were increased ALT (2.3%) and diarrhea (2.3%).

    The most common adverse reactions reported in ≥ 20% of patients treated with TUKYSA and trastuzumab were diarrhea, fatigue, rash, nausea, abdominal pain, infusion related reactions, and pyrexia. The most common laboratory abnormalities reported in ≥ 20% of patients were increased creatinine, increased glucose, increased ALT, decreased hemoglobin, increased AST, increased bilirubin, increased alkaline phosphatase, decreased lymphocytes, decreased albumin, decreased leukocytes, and decreased sodium.

    7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on TUKYSA

    Table 7 summarizes the effect of other drugs on TUKYSA.

    Table 7: Drug Interactions that Affect TUKYSA

    Strong CYP3A Inducers or Moderate CYP2C8 Inducers

    Clinical Impact

    Concomitant use of TUKYSA with a strong CYP3A or moderate CYP2C8 inducer decreased tucatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may reduce TUKYSA activity.

    Management

    Avoid concomitant use of TUKYSA with a strong CYP3A inducer or a moderate CYP2C8 inducer.

    Strong or Moderate CYP2C8 Inhibitors

    Clinical Impact

    Concomitant use of TUKYSA with a strong CYP2C8 inhibitor increased tucatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the risk of TUKYSA toxicity.

    Management

    Avoid concomitant use of TUKYSA with a strong CYP2C8 inhibitor. Increase monitoring for TUKYSA toxicity with moderate CYP2C8 inhibitors.

    7.2 Effects of TUKYSA on Other Drugs

    Table 8 summarizes the effect of TUKYSA on other drugs.

    Table 8: TUKYSA Drug Interactions that Affect Other Drugs

    CYP3A Substrates

    Clinical Impact

    Concomitant use of TUKYSA with a CYP3A substrate increased the plasma concentrations of CYP3A substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the toxicity associated with a CYP3A substrate.

    Management

    Avoid concomitant use of TUKYSA with CYP3A substrates, where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. If concomitant use is unavoidable, decrease the CYP3A substrate dosage in accordance with approved product labeling.

    P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates

    Clinical Impact

    Concomitant use of TUKYSA with a P-gp substrate increased the plasma concentrations of P-gp substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)], which may increase the toxicity associated with a P-gp substrate.

    Management

    Consider reducing the dosage of P-gp substrates, where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

         

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    TUKYSA is used in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of trastuzumab and capecitabine for pregnancy information.

    Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, TUKYSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available human data on TUKYSA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of tucatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal mortality, reduced fetal weight and fetal abnormalities at maternal exposures ≥ 1.3 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose (see Data). Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus.

    The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.

    Data

    Animal Data

    In pilot embryo-fetal development studies, pregnant rats and rabbits received oral doses of tucatinib up to 150 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis.

    In rats, oral administration of tucatinib resulted in maternal toxicity (body weight loss, reduced body weight gain, low food consumption) at doses ≥ 90 mg/kg/day. Fetal effects included reduced number of live fetuses, decreased fetal weight, and fetal abnormalities (increase in skeletal variations, incomplete ossification) at ≥ 90 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC).

    In rabbits, oral administration of tucatinib resulted in increased resorptions, decreased percentages of live fetuses, and skeletal, visceral, and external malformations in fetuses at doses ≥ 90 mg/kg/day (1.3 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC). Fetal abnormalities included domed head, brain dilation, incomplete ossification of frontal and parietal bones, and a hole in the parietal bone.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    TUKYSA is used in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of trastuzumab and capecitabine for lactation information.

    There are no data on the presence of tucatinib or its metabolites in human or animal milk or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose.

    8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

    TUKYSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. TUKYSA is used in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of trastuzumab and capecitabine for contraception and infertility information.

    Pregnancy Testing

    Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with TUKYSA.

    Contraception

    Females

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

    Males

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

    Infertility

    Based on findings from animal studies, TUKYSA may impair male and female fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

    8.4 Pediatric Use

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

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    In HER2CLIMB, 82 patients who received TUKYSA were ≥ 65 years, of whom 8 patients were ≥ 75 years. The incidence of serious adverse reactions in those receiving TUKYSA was 34% in patients ≥ 65 years compared to 24% in patients <65 years. The most frequent serious adverse reactions in patients ≥65 years who received TUKYSA were diarrhea (9%), vomiting (6%), and nausea (5%). There were no observed overall differences in the effectiveness of TUKYSA in patients ≥ 65 years compared to younger patients. There were too few patients ≥75 years to assess differences in effectiveness or safety.

    In MOUNTAINEER, 12 patients were ≥65 years of age. There were too few patients ≥65 years to assess differences in effectiveness or safety.

    8.6 Renal Impairment

    The use of TUKYSA in combination with capecitabine and trastuzumab is not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr]: < 30 mL/min estimated by Cockcroft-Gault Equation), because capecitabine is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of capecitabine for additional information in severe renal impairment.

    No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (CLcr: 30 to 89 mL/min).

    8.7 Hepatic Impairment

    Tucatinib exposure is increased in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C). Reduce the dose of TUKYSA for patients with severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

    No dose adjustment for TUKYSA is required for patients with mild (Child-Pugh A) or moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

         

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Tucatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of HER2. In vitro, tucatinib inhibits phosphorylation of HER2 and HER3, resulting in inhibition of downstream MAPK and AKT signaling and cell proliferation, and showed anti-tumor activity in HER2 expressing tumor cells. In vivo, tucatinib inhibited the growth of HER2 expressing tumors. The combination of tucatinib and trastuzumab showed increased anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo compared to either drug alone.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Exposure Response Relationship

    Tucatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamics response have not been fully characterized.

    Cardiac Electrophysiology

    No large mean increase in QTc (i.e., > 20 ms) was detected following treatment with TUKYSA at the recommended dose of 300 mg taken orally twice daily.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Tucatinib AUC0-INF and Cmax increased proportionally over a dosage range from 50 mg to 300 mg (0.17 to 1 times the approved recommended dosage). Time to steady state was approximately 4 days. Steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters following administration of TUKYSA 300 mg twice daily for 7 days in patients with mBC and mCRC are described in Table 9. The geometric mean (CV%) tucatinib AUC accumulation ratios ranged from 2.0 (26) fold to 2.5 (28) fold.

    Absorption

    The median time to peak plasma concentration of tucatinib was approximately 2 hours (range 1 to 4 hours).

    Effects of Food

    Following administration of a single oral dose of TUKYSA in 11 subjects after a high-fat meal (approximately 58% fat, 26% carbohydrate, and 16% protein), the mean AUC0-INF increased by 1.5-fold, the Tmax shifted from 1.5 hours to 4 hours, and Cmax was unaltered. The effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of tucatinib was not clinically meaningful.

    Distribution

    The geometric mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution of tucatinib at steady-state were 903 (42) L and 829 (21) L in patients with mBC and mCRC, respectively. The plasma protein binding was 97.1% at clinically relevant concentrations.

    At steady-state, concentrations of tucatinib and its metabolite ONT-993 in the cerebrospinal fluid were comparable to unbound plasma concentrations.

    Elimination

    At steady-state, tucatinib effective half-life was approximately 11.9 hours and geometric mean (CV%) apparent clearance was 53 (43) L/h in patients with mBC. Tucatinib effective half-life was approximately 16.4 hours and geometric mean (CV%) apparent clearance was 89 (49) L/h in patients with mCRC.

    Metabolism

    Tucatinib is metabolized primarily by CYP2C8 and to a lesser extent via CYP3A.

    Excretion

    Following a single oral dose of 300 mg radiolabeled tucatinib, approximately 86% of the total radiolabeled dose was recovered in feces (16% of the administered dose as unchanged tucatinib) and 4.1% in urine with an overall total recovery of 90% within 13 days post-dose. In plasma, approximately 76% of the plasma radioactivity was unchanged, 19% was attributed to identified metabolites, and approximately 5% was unassigned.

    Specific Populations

    Age (18-77 years), albumin (19 to 52 g/L), creatinine clearance (CLcr: 60 to 89 mL/min (n = 63); CLcr 30 to 59 mL/min (n = 6)), body weight (41 to 146 kg), sex (male (n = 170), female (n = 113)) and race (White (n = 205), Black (n = 37), or Asian (n = 25)) did not have a clinically meaningful effect on tucatinib exposure.

    Renal Impairment

    No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of tucatinib were observed in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr: 30 to 89 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault). The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr: < 30 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of tucatinib is unknown.

    Hepatic Impairment

    Mild (Child-Pugh A) and moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment had no clinically relevant effect on tucatinib exposure. Tucatinib AUC0-INF was increased by 1.6 fold in subjects with severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment compared to subjects with normal hepatic function.

    In Vitro Studies

    Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Tucatinib is a reversible inhibitor of CYP2C8 and CYP3A and a time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A, but is not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6.

    Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) Enzymes: Tucatinib is not an inhibitor of UGT1A1.

    Transporter Systems: Tucatinib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP, but is not a substrate of OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, MATE2-K, or BSEP.

    Tucatinib inhibits MATE1/MATE2-K-mediated transport of metformin and OCT2/MATE1-mediated transport of creatinine. The observed serum creatinine increase in clinical studies with tucatinib is due to inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine via OCT2 and MATE1.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

         

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with tucatinib.

    Tucatinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Tucatinib was not clastogenic in either an in vitro chromosome aberration assay or an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay.

    Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted. In repeat-dose toxicity studies up to 13 weeks duration, decreased corpora lutea/corpus luteum cyst, increased interstitial cells of the ovary, atrophy of the uterus, and mucification of the vagina were observed in female rats at doses ≥ 6 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.1 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC). Atrophy and edema of the testes and oligospermia/germ cell debris in the epididymides were observed in male rats at ≥ 120 mg/kg/day (approximately 13 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC).

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

         

    14.1 HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

    The efficacy of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine was evaluated in 612 patients in HER2CLIMB (NCT02614794), a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were required to have HER2-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, with or without brain metastases, and prior treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) separately or in combination, in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting. HER2 positivity was based on archival or fresh tissue tested with an FDA-approved test at a central laboratory prior to enrollment with HER2 positivity defined as HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH positive.

    Patients with brain metastases, including those with progressing or untreated lesions, were eligible provided they were neurologically stable and did not require immediate radiation or surgery. The trial excluded patients with leptomeningeal disease. Randomization was stratified by the presence or history of brain metastases (yes vs. no), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0 vs. 1), and region (U.S., Canada, or rest of world).

    Patients received TUKYSA 300 mg or placebo orally twice daily with a trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 if needed and then a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle thereafter and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally twice daily on Days 1 through 14 of every 21-day cycle. An alternate trastuzumab dosing regimen was 600 mg administered subcutaneously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor assessments, including brain-MRI in patients with presence or history of brain metastases at baseline, occurred every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter.

    The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) in the first 480 randomized patients assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures were evaluated in all randomized patients and included overall survival (OS), PFS among patients with a history or presence of brain metastases (PFSBrainMets), and confirmed objective response rate (ORR).

    The median age was 54 years (range: 22 - 82); 116 (19%) patients were age 65 or older. The majority were White (73%) and female (99%) and 51% had an ECOG performance status of 1. Sixty percent had estrogen and/or progesterone receptor-positive disease. Forty-eight percent had a presence or history of brain metastases; of these patients, 23% had untreated brain metastases, 40% had treated but stable brain metastases, and 37% had treated but radiographically progressing brain metastases. Seventy-four percent of patients had visceral metastases. Patients had received a median of 4 (range, 2 to 17) prior lines of systemic therapy and a median of 3 (range, 1 to 14) prior lines of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. All patients received prior trastuzumab and T-DM1 and all but two patients had prior pertuzumab.

    Efficacy results are summarized in Table 12 and Figure 1 and 2. Efficacy results were consistent across patient subgroups defined by stratification factors (presence or history of brain metastases, ECOG status, region of world) and hormone receptor status.

    14.2 HER2-Positive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

    The efficacy of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab was evaluated in 84 patients in MOUNTAINEER (NCT03043313), an open-label, multicenter trial. Patients were required to have HER2-positive, RAS wild-type, unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer and prior treatment with fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody (mAb). Patients whose disease had deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) proteins or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) must have also received an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) mAb. Patients who received prior anti-HER2 targeting therapy were excluded. HER2 positivity as defined by HER2 overexpression or gene amplification was prospectively determined in local laboratories using immunohistochemistry (IHC), in situ hybridization (ISH), and/or next generation sequencing (NGS) on tumor tissue. RAS status was performed as standard of care prior to study entry based on expanded RAS testing including KRAS exons 2, 3, and 4 and NRAS exons 2, 3, and 4.

    The median age was 55 years (range: 24 to 77); 12 (14%) patients were age 65 or older. Seventy-seven percent of patients were White, 4% were Black, 4% were Asian, and 4% were Hispanic or Latino. Sixty-one percent of patients were male. Seventy percent of patients had lung metastases, 64% had liver metastases, 60% had an ECOG performance status of 0, 37% had an ECOG performance status of 1, and 4% had an ECOG performance status of 2. Ninety-nine percent of patients received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan and 83% and 52% received anti-VEGF antibodies and anti-EGFR antibodies respectively; 23%, 38%, and 39% received 1, 2, or ≥3 prior lines of therapy, respectively.

    Patients received TUKYSA 300 mg orally twice per day with a loading dose of trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product 8 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of Cycle 1, followed by a maintenance dose of trastuzumab 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of each subsequent 21-day cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

    The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to RECIST version 1.1.

    Efficacy results are summarized in Table 13.

  • PATIENT PACKAGE INSERT

    This Patient Information has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.     Revised: 01/2023

    PATIENT INFORMATION
    TUKYSA® (too-KYE-sah)
    (tucatinib)
    tablets

    Important information: If your healthcare provider prescribes TUKYSA in combination with capecitabine for your breast cancer, also read the Patient Information that comes with capecitabine.

    What is TUKYSA?
    TUKYSA is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:

    a type of breast cancer called human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. TUKYSA is used with the medicines trastuzumab and capecitabine, when your cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the brain (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery, and you have received one or more anti-HER2 breast cancer treatments.
    a type of colorectal cancer called RAS wild-type HER2-positive colorectal cancer. TUKYSA is used with the medicine trastuzumab, when your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery, and you have received treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy and it did not work or is no longer working.

    It is not known if TUKYSA is safe and effective in children.

    Before taking TUKYSA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

    have liver problems.
    are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. TUKYSA can harm your unborn baby.
    Females who are able to become pregnant:
    o
    Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with TUKYSA.
    o
    You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA. Talk with your healthcare provider about forms of birth control that you can use during this time.
    o
    Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with TUKYSA.
     
    Males with female partner who are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA.
    are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if TUKYSA passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA.

    Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. TUKYSA may affect the way your other medicines work, and other medicines may affect the way TUKYSA works.

    Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of all the medicines you take and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist every time you get a new medicine.

    How should I take TUKYSA? 

    Take TUKYSA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.
    TUKYSA is used with the medicine trastuzumab for colorectal cancer or with trastuzumab and capecitabine for breast cancer. Your healthcare provider will tell you the dose of trastuzumab and capecitabine you will take and how you will receive them.
    Take TUKYSA 2 times a day, with or without a meal.
    Take TUKYSA about 12 hours apart or at the same times every day.
    Swallow TUKYSA tablets whole. Do not chew, crush, or split TUKYSA tablets before swallowing. Do not take TUKYSA tablets if they are broken, cracked, or damaged.
    If you vomit or miss a dose of TUKYSA, take your next dose at your regular time.

    What are the possible side effects of TUKYSA?
    TUKYSA may cause serious side effects, including:

    Diarrhea. Diarrhea is common with TUKYSA and can sometimes be severe. Tell your healthcare provider if you have a change in your bowel movements or severe diarrhea. Severe diarrhea can lead to loss of too much body fluids (dehydration), low blood pressure, kidney problems and death. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medicines to treat your diarrhea during treatment with TUKYSA.
    Liver Problems. TUKYSA can cause severe liver problems. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your liver function before and every 3 weeks during treatment with TUKYSA, or as needed. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any signs and symptoms of liver problems including:
    o
    itching
    o
