Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Patients treated with CDK 4/6 inhibitors should be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Interrupt and evaluate patients with new or worsening respiratory symptoms suspected to be due to ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue KISQALI in patients with recurrent symptomatic or severe ILD/pneumonitis. Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (SCARs): Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) can occur with KISQALI treatment. Permanently discontinue KISQALI in patients with SCARs or other life-threatening cutaneous reactions. QT Interval Prolongation: Monitor electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electrolytes prior to initiation of treatment with KISQALI. Repeat ECGs at approximately Day 14 of the first cycle, and as clinically indicated. Monitor electrolytes at the beginning of each cycle for 6 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Avoid using KISQALI with drugs known to prolong QT interval and/or strong CYP3A inhibitors. ( 2.2 , 5.3 , 7.1 , 7.4 ) Hepatobiliary Toxicity: Increases in serum transaminase and bilirubin levels have been observed. Perform liver function tests (LFTs) before initiating treatment with KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK. Monitor LFTs every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles, at the beginning of each subsequent 4 cycles, and as clinically indicated. ( 2.2, 5.4 ) Neutropenia: Perform complete blood count (CBC) before initiating therapy with KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK. Monitor CBC every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles, at the beginning of each subsequent 4 cycles, and as clinically indicated. ( 2.2, 5.5 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during therapy. ( 5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with KISQALI and other CDK4/6 inhibitors. In patients with early breast cancer (NATALEE) who received 400 mg KISQALI plus a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI), 1.5% of patients had ILD/pneumonitis (Grade 1-2). In patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MONALEESA-2, MONALEESA-7), 1.2% of KISQALI-treated patients had ILD/pneumonitis (any grade, 0.3% had Grade 3-4). Additional cases of ILD/pneumonitis have occurred in the postmarketing setting, some resulting in death . Monitor patients for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis which may include hypoxia, cough, and dyspnea. In patients who have new or worsening respiratory symptoms suspected to be due to ILD or pneumonitis, interrupt KISQALI immediately and evaluate the patient. Permanently discontinue KISQALI in patients with severe ILD/pneumonitis or any recurrent symptomatic ILD/pneumonitis . Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for KISQALI ®
Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS)/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), can occur in patients treated with KISQALI . If signs or symptoms of SCARs occur, interrupt KISQALI until the etiology of the reaction has been determined . Early consultation with a dermatologist is recommended to ensure greater diagnostic accuracy and appropriate management. If SJS, TEN, or DiHS/DRESS is confirmed, permanently discontinue KISQALI. Do not reintroduce KISQALI in patients who have experienced SCARs during KISQALI treatment
QT Interval Prolongation KISQALI has been shown to prolong the QT interval in a concentration-dependent manner . Avoid KISQALI in patients who are at significant risk of developing Torsades de Pointes (TdP), including those with: congenital long QT syndrome; uncontrolled or significant cardiac disease, recent myocardial infarction, heart failure, unstable angina, bradyarrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, high degree atrioventricular block, severe aortic stenosis, or uncontrolled hypothyroidism; electrolyte abnormalities; taking drugs known to prolong QT interval and/or strong CYP3A inhibitors as this may lead to prolongation of the QTcF interval. Based on the observed QT prolongation during treatment, KISQALI may require dose interruption, reduction or discontinuation as described in Table 4 . In patients with early breast cancer (NATALEE) who received 400 mg KISQALI plus NSAI, 8 out of 2494 patients (0.3%) had > 500 ms post-baseline QTcF interval value and 50 out of 2494 patients (2%) had > 60 ms QTcF increase from baseline. QTcF prolongation was reversible with dose interruption. The majority of QTcF prolongation occurred within the first four weeks of KISQALI. There were no reported cases of Torsades de Pointes. In patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MONALEESA-2 and MONALEESA-7) who received 600 mg KISQALI plus NSAI, 7 out of 574 patients (1%) had a > 500 ms post-baseline QTcF value, and 29 out of 574 patients (5%) had a > 60 ms QTcF increase from baseline. QTcF prolongation was reversible with dose interruption. The majority of QTcF prolongation occurred within the first four weeks of KISQALI. There were no reported cases of Torsades de Pointes. In MONALEESA-2, in the KISQALI plus letrozole treatment arm, there was one (0.3%) sudden death in a patient with Grade 3 hypokalemia and Grade 2 QT prolongation. No cases of sudden death were reported in MONALEESA-7 . Perform ECG in all patients prior to starting KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK. Initiate treatment with KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK only in patients with QTcF values less than 450 ms. Repeat ECG at approximately Day 14 of the first cycle, and as clinically indicated. Monitor serum electrolytes (including potassium, calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium) prior to the initiation of KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK, at the beginning of the first 6 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Correct any abnormality before starting KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK
Hepatobiliary Toxicity In patients with early and advanced or metastatic breast cancer, drug-induced liver injury and increases in transaminases occurred with KISQALI. In patients with early breast cancer (NATALEE) treated with KISQALI, drug-induced liver injury was reported in 9 patients (0.4%), of which 5 were Grade ≥ 3, and 8 had resolved as of the data cutoff. There were 8 (0.3%) clinically confirmed Hy’s Law cases (including 4 out of 9 drug-induced liver injury mentioned above), 6 of which had resolved within 303 days and 2 of which were improving, all after discontinuation of KISQALI. Grade 3 or 4 increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 8% and 4.7% respectively; including Grade 4 increases in ALT (1.5%) and AST (0.8%). In patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MONALEESA-2 and MONALEESA-7), treated with KISQALI Grade 3 or 4 increases in ALT and AST occurred in 11% and 8%, respectively. Among the patients who had Grade ≥ 3 ALT/AST elevation, the median time-to-onset was 111 days for the KISQALI plus aromatase inhibitor treatment arm. The median time to resolution to Grade ≤ 2 was 22 days in the KISQALI plus aromatase inhibitor treatment arm. In MONALEESA-2, concurrent elevations in ALT or AST greater than three times the ULN and total bilirubin greater than two times the ULN, with normal alkaline phosphatase, in the absence of cholestasis (Hy’s Law) occurred in 4 (1%) patients and all patients recovered after discontinuation of KISQALI. Perform liver function tests (LFTs) in all patients before initiating KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK. Monitor LFTs every 2 weeks for first 2 cycles, at the beginning of each subsequent 4 cycles, and as clinically indicated . Based on the severity of the transaminase elevations, KISQALI may require dose interruption, reduction, or discontinuation as described in Table 5 (Dose Modification and Management for Hepatobiliary Toxicity)
Neutropenia KISQALI causes concentration-dependent neutropenia. In patients with early breast cancer (NATALEE) who received KISQALI plus NSAI, 94%, including 45% of Grade 3 or 4, had a decrease in neutrophil counts (based on laboratory findings), 63% had an adverse reaction of neutropenia, and 0.3% had febrile neutropenia. The median time to Grade ≥ 2 neutropenia was 18 days. The median time to resolution of Grade ≥ 3 neutropenia to Grade < 3 was 10 days. Treatment discontinuation due to neutropenia was required in 1.1% of patients. In patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MONALEESA-2 and MONALEESA-7), who received KISQALI plus NSAI, 79% had neutropenia, 66% had Grade 3 or 4 decrease in neutrophil count (based on laboratory findings), and 2% had febrile neutropenia. The median time to Grade ≥ 2 neutropenia was 16 days. The median time to resolution of Grade ≥ 3 neutropenia to Grade < 3 was 15 days. Treatment discontinuation due to neutropenia was required in 1% of patients. Perform a complete blood count (CBC) in all patients before initiating KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK. Monitor CBC every 2 weeks for the first 2 cycles, at the beginning of each subsequent 4 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Based on the severity of the neutropenia, KISQALI may require dose interruption, reduction or discontinuation as described in Table 6
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and the mechanism of action, KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of ribociclib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicities at maternal exposures that were 0.6 and 1.5 times the human clinical exposure, respectively, based on area under the curve (AUC). Letrozole caused embryo-fetal toxicities in rats and rabbits at maternal exposures that were below the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) on a mg/m 2 basis. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise women of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during therapy with KISQALI FEMARA CO-PACK and for at least 3 weeks after the last dose .
