Lumakras Special Precautions

Hepatotoxicity: LUMAKRAS can cause hepatotoxicity, which may lead to drug-induced liver injury and hepatitis. Among 357 patients who received LUMAKRAS in CodeBreaK 100 [see Clinical Trials Experience under Adverse Reactions], hepatotoxicity occurred in 1.7% (all grades) and 1.4% (Grade 3). A total of 18% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST); 6% were Grade 3 and 0.6% were Grade 4. The median time to first onset of increased ALT/AST was 9 weeks (range: 0.3 to 42). Increased ALT/AST leading to dose interruption or reduction occurred in 7% of patients. LUMAKRAS was discontinued due to increased ALT/AST in 2.0% of patients. In addition to dose interruption or reduction, 5% of patients received corticosteroids for the treatment of hepatotoxicity.
Monitor liver function tests (ALT, AST, 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, dose reduce or permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS based on severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions under Dosage & Administration and Clinical Trials Experience under Adverse Reactions].
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: LUMAKRAS can cause ILD/pneumonitis that can be fatal. Among 357 patients who received LUMAKRAS in CodeBreaK 100 [see Clinical Trials Experience under Adverse Reactions], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 0.8% of patients, all cases were Grade 3 or 4 at onset, and 1 case was fatal. The median time to first onset for ILD/pneumonitis was 2 weeks (range: 2 to 18 weeks). LUMAKRAS was discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 0.6% of 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 Modifications for Adverse Reactions under Dosage & Administration and Clinical Trials Experience under Adverse Reactions].
Use in Children: The safety and effectiveness of LUMAKRAS have not been established in pediatric patients.
Use in the Elderly: Of the 357 patients with any tumor type who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg orally once daily in CodeBreaK 100, 46% were 65 and over, and 10% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between older patients and younger patients.
