1. What AUGTYRO is and what it is used for

What AUGTYRO is
AUGTYRO is an anticancer medicine that contains the active substance repotrectinib.
What AUGTYRO is used for
AUGTYRO is used to treat:

  • adults with a type of lung cancer called "non-small cell lung cancer" (NSCLC) caused by an alteration in the ROS1 gene, or
  • adults and children aged 12 years and older with solid tumour (cancer) in various parts of the body caused by an alteration in the NTRK gene.

ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer
AUGTYRO is used when:

  • a test has shown that tumour cells have an alteration in a gene called "ROS1" (see "How AUGTYRO works" below), and
  • the cancer is advanced, for example, it has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

NTRK gene fusion-positive solid tumour
AUGTYRO is used when:

  • a test has shown that tumour cells have an alteration in a gene called "NTRK" and the tumour has spread within the affected organ or to other organs of the body, or

  • surgery to remove the cancer would likely result in severe complications (see "How AUGTYRO works" below), and

  • you have previously received treatment with medicines called NTRK inhibitors, or

  • you have not received treatment with medicines called NTRK inhibitors and other treatments are not suitable for you.

How AUGTYRO works
AUGTYRO works by blocking the action of proteins that function abnormally due to alterations in the NTRK or ROS1 genes that produce them. These abnormal proteins can cause uncontrolled growth of tumour cells. By blocking these abnormal proteins, AUGTYRO can slow down or stop the growth of tumour cells and help reduce the cancer.

2. What you must know before taking AUGTYRO

Do not take AUGTYRO

  • if you are allergic to repotrectinib or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If in doubt, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking AUGTYRO.

Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking AUGTYRO if

  • you have recently experienced dizziness, memory loss, confusion, hallucinations, changes in mental status, loss of muscle coordination, or unsteady or unstable gait
  • you have had other lung problems. Inform your doctor immediately if you develop new or worsening symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, or fever
  • you have a history of bone fractures or a condition that may increase the risk of bone fractures
  • you have liver problems.

Other medicines and AUGTYRO
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
In particular, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines for:

  • acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, such as ritonavir, saquinavir, efavirenz
  • fungal infections (antifungals), such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole
  • preventing seizures or epileptic fits (antiepileptics), such as carbamazepine or phenytoin
  • tuberculosis, such as rifampicin
  • depression, such as bupropion, fluvoxamine, or the herbal remedy: St John's wort ( Hypericum perforatum )
  • tumours, such as apalutamide, everolimus
  • suppressing the body's immune system or preventing the body from rejecting an organ transplant, such as sirolimus, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sulfasalazine
  • inflamed joints or autoimmune joint disease (rheumatoid arthritis), methotrexate
  • severe pain, such as alfentanil, fentanyl
  • high blood pressure, such as verapamil, nifedipine, felodipine, valsartan

  • reducing blood sugar levels, such as repaglinide, tolbutamide, metformin
  • acid reflux (heartburn), such as cisapride, omeprazole
  • preventing blood clots, such as warfarin, dabigatran etexilate
  • heart problems, such as digoxin, edoxaban
  • allergies, such as fexofenadine
  • birth control: if you are using oral hormonal contraceptives, you must also use a reliable barrier method of contraception (see "Pregnancy and breastfeeding").

AUGTYRO with food and drinks
Do not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruits or Seville oranges during treatment with AUGTYRO, as they may increase the amount of the medicine in your blood to a harmful level.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Women and contraception
You must avoid becoming pregnant during treatment with this medicine, as it may harm the unborn child. If you are of childbearing age, you must use highly effective methods of contraception during treatment and for at least 2 months after stopping treatment.
It is not known whether AUGTYRO may reduce the effectiveness of contraceptive medicines (oral pills or implanted hormonal contraceptives). If you use a hormonal contraceptive method, you must also use an additional reliable non-hormonal contraceptive method, such as a barrier method (e.g., condom), to avoid pregnancy while taking AUGTYRO and for 2 months after stopping treatment.
Consult your doctor to determine which contraceptive methods are suitable for you and your partner.

Men and contraception
Your partner must avoid becoming pregnant during treatment with this medicine, as it may harm the unborn child. If your partner is of childbearing age, you must use a condom during treatment and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment.
Consult your doctor to determine which contraceptive methods are suitable for you and your partner.

Pregnancy

  • Do not take AUGTYRO if you are pregnant, as it may harm the unborn child.
  • If you are a woman of childbearing age, your doctor will perform a pregnancy test before starting treatment with AUGTYRO.
  • If you become pregnant while taking this medicine or within 2 months after the last dose, inform your doctor immediately.

Breastfeeding
Do not breastfeed during treatment with this medicine, as it is not known whether AUGTYRO may pass into breast milk and therefore harm the child.

AUGTYRO may affect your ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery. AUGTYRO may cause:

  • dizziness
  • impaired balance or coordination
  • fainting (loss of consciousness)
  • fatigue
  • changes in mental status, confusion, or seeing things that are not there (hallucinations)
