Adjuvant treatment of adult patients w/ germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm) HER2 -ve high risk early breast cancer who have previously been treated w/ neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Monotherapy for adult patients w/ gBRCAm HER2 -ve metastatic breast cancer who have been previously treated w/ chemotherapy.

Interrupt treatment & initiate prompt investigation if new or worsening resp symptoms (eg, dyspnoea, cough & fever) or abnormal chest radiologic finding is observed. Co-administration w/ strong or moderate CYP3A inducers or inhibitors is not recommended. Possible asthenia, fatigue & dizziness; observe caution when driving or using machines. Not recommended for patients w/ severe renal impairment or ESRD (CrCl ≤30 mL/min) & severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C). May cause foetal harm. Advise women of childbearing potential to use effective contraception during treatment & for 1 mth after receiving the last dose. Not to be taken during pregnancy.

Drug Interactions
Potentiated & prolonged myelosuppressive toxicity w/ other anticancer agents including DNA damaging agents. Increased Cmax & AUC w/ itraconazole & other strong CYP3A inhibitors (eg, telithromycin, clarithromycin, PIs boosted w/ ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir & telaprevir). Altered clearance w/ moderate CYP3A inhibitors (eg, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole & verapamil). Avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges & Seville orange juice. Decreased Cmax & AUC w/ strong CYP3A inducers (eg, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifampin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine, phenobarb, St. John's wort).
