1. What is Rozlytrek and what is it used for

What is Rozlytrek
Rozlytrek is an anticancer medicine that contains the active substance "entrectinib".
What Rozlytrek is used for
Rozlytrek is used to treat:

  • adults, adolescents, and children older than 1 month with solid tumours in various parts of the body caused by an alteration in a gene called "neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor" (NTRK), or
  • adults with a type of lung cancer called "non-small cell lung cancer" (NSCLC) caused by an alteration in a gene called "ROS1".

This medicine is used for solid tumours when:

  • a test has shown that tumour cells have an alteration in genes called "NTRK" (see section "How Rozlytrek works" below), and
  • the tumour has spread within the affected organ or to other organs in the body, or surgical removal of the tumour would likely result in serious complications, and
  • you have not previously been treated with medicines called "NTRK inhibitors", and
  • other treatments have not been effective or are not suitable for you.

This medicine is used if the lung cancer (NSCLC):

  • is "ROS1-positive", meaning that tumour cells have an alteration in the gene called "ROS1" (see section "How Rozlytrek works" below), and
  • is advanced, for example, has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), and
  • you have not previously been treated with medicines called "ROS1 inhibitors".

How Rozlytrek works
Rozlytrek works by blocking the action of abnormal enzymes caused by alterations in the NTRK or ROS1 genes that produce these enzymes. The defective enzymes stimulate the proliferation of tumour cells.
Rozlytrek can slow down or stop tumour growth and may also help reduce tumour size.

2. What you should know before taking Rozlytrek

Do not take Rozlytrek

  • if you are allergic to entrectinib or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If you have any doubts, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Rozlytrek.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Rozlytrek if:

  • you have recently experienced memory loss, confusion, hallucinations, or changes in mental status;
  • you have had bone fractures or are prone to conditions that may increase the risk of bone breakage, known as “osteoporosis” or “osteopenia”;
  • you are taking medicines to reduce uric acid levels in the blood;
  • you suffer from heart failure (the heart’s inability to pump blood adequately to supply oxygen to the body), signs of which may include cough, shortness of breath, or swelling in the legs or arms;
  • you have or have had a heart condition or a problem with the heart’s electrical conduction system called “QTc interval prolongation,” which may be detected on an “electrocardiogram” (ECG) or due to low levels of electrolytes in the blood;
  • you have a hereditary condition called “galactose intolerance,” “congenital lactase deficiency,” or “glucose-galactose malabsorption.”

If any of the above conditions apply to you (or if you have any doubts), consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Rozlytrek.

  • A glass of drinking water or milk at room temperature (below 30°C);
  • An oral syringe (provided by the pharmacist), graduated in 0.5 mL increments;
  • A paper towel.

Preparation of Rozlytrek suspension

Step 1. Wash your hands.
Step 2. Count the number of capsules indicated by your healthcare provider to prepare the suspension
Two hands pour granular powder from two small containers into a transparent glass placed on a flat surface
Step 3. Place a clean, empty glass on a paper towel.Figure A
Step 4. Tap the capsule gently to loosen its contents.
Step 5. Hold the capsule over the clean, empty glass to avoid spills.
Step 6. Open the capsule by gently pressing on it and separating the two ends with a slight twisting motion. Pour the contents into the clean glass (Figure A).
Step 7. Tap both parts of the capsule shell and check that all the contents have been emptied into the glass. •If you accidentally spilled the capsule contents outside the glass, discard the contents of the glass and use another capsule. Proceed to Step C1 for cleaning instructions, then repeat the procedure starting from Step 1.

Step 8. Push the plunger of the oral syringe all the way in to remove any air inside the syringe (Figure B).Figure B
Step 9. Take the glass of drinking water or milk at room temperature (below 30°C). Using the syringe, draw up the exact amount* of drinking water or milk at room temperature from the glass (Figure C). *Your healthcare provider will tell you how much liquid to draw up. Do not use any other type of liquid.Figure C
A hand holds a syringe above a container with liquid and a box shows visual control of the medication level with a checkmark
Step 10. Add the water or milk drawn up with the syringe into the glass where you poured the capsule contents (Figure D).Figure D
A hand presses the plunger of a syringe downward to aspirate or expel liquid into a glass containing gray powder
Step 11. Let the suspension stand for 15 minutes (Figure E). Note: This step is important to obtain a homogeneous suspension. Otherwise, you may not receive the correct dose.Figure E

Step 14. Swirl the medicine glass again before inserting the syringe into it (Figure H).Figure H
Diagram showing a transparent container with dark liquid inside
Step 15. Immediately insert the syringe into the glass, slowly pull back the plunger, and draw up the exact amount of suspension corresponding to your prescribed dose of Rozlytrek (Figure I). •Your healthcare provider will tell you how much suspension to draw up for your prescribed dose. •Do not delay drawing up the suspension. If left too long, the medicine may settle at the bottom, and you may not receive the correct dose.Figure I
Illustration showing a hand aspirating liquid from a glass using a syringe and a box with an eye and a checkmark
Step 16. Check the amount of liquid in the syringe (Figure J). With the tip of the syringe pointing upward, verify: •that you have drawn up the correct amount of suspension; •that there are no large bubbles. Note: If you did not draw up the correct amount or if large bubbles are present: •reinsert the syringe into the glass; •allow the medicine to flow back into the glass; •draw up the medicine again (follow steps from Step 15). Shake the syringe briskly. Administer Rozlytrek immediately after drawing it into the syringe. If not administered within 2 hours, discard the medicine in the syringe. Proceed to Step C1 for cleaning instructions, then repeat the procedure starting from Step 2 to mix a new dose.Figure J

Step A3. Administer a small amount of water immediately after giving the prescribed dose of Rozlytrek. If a strong aftertaste occurs, breastfeeding or giving milk to the child is possible.

Administration via gastric or nasogastric tube

You may take or administer the suspension through a gastric or nasogastric tube placed by a healthcare provider. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate type and size of the enteral tube. Ensure that the tube has a diameter of at least 8 French or larger to prevent clogging when administering doses equal to or greater than 3 mL. For doses of Rozlytrek equal to or greater than 3 mL, divide the dose and administer it in at least two parts. Flush the tube with the same volume of water or milk after each part is administered. Neonates and children with fluid restrictions may require minimal flush volumes between 1 mL and 3 mL when administering Rozlytrek; adjust the aliquots accordingly. For doses of Rozlytrek of 30 mL, divide the dose into at least three 10 mL portions. Flush the tube with the same volume of water or milk after each portion. The tube must be flushed with water or milk after administration of Rozlytrek. If you have any doubts, consult your healthcare provider.
Step B1. Insert the tip of the syringe into the nasogastric/gastric tube. Slowly push the plunger all the way down to administer the full dose of Rozlytrek (Figures M1 and M2).Figure M1

1. What Rozlytrek is and what it is used for

What Rozlytrek is
Rozlytrek is an anticancer medicine that contains the active substance “entrectinib”.

What Rozlytrek is used for
Rozlytrek is used to treat:

  • adults, adolescents, and children over 1 month of age with solid tumours in various parts of the body caused by a genetic alteration known as “neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor” (NTRK), or
  • adults with a type of lung cancer called “non-small cell lung cancer” (NSCLC) caused by a genetic alteration known as “ROS1”.

This medicine is used for solid tumours when:

  • a test has shown that tumour cells have an alteration in genes called “NTRK” (see section “How Rozlytrek works” below), and
  • the tumour has spread within the affected organ or to other organs of the body, or surgical removal of the tumour would likely result in serious complications, and
  • you have not previously been treated with medicines called “NTRK inhibitors”, and
  • other treatments have not been effective or are not suitable for you.

This medicine is used if the lung cancer (NSCLC):

  • is “ROS1-positive”, meaning that tumour cells have an alteration in the gene called “ROS1” (see section “How Rozlytrek works” below), and
  • is advanced, for example, has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), and
  • you have not previously been treated with medicines called “ROS1 inhibitors”.

How Rozlytrek works
Rozlytrek works by blocking the activity of abnormal enzymes caused by alterations in the NTRK or ROS1 genes that produce these enzymes. Defective enzymes stimulate the proliferation of tumour cells.
Rozlytrek can slow down or stop tumour growth and may also help reduce tumour size.

2. What you should know before taking Rozlytrek

Do not take Rozlytrek

  • if you are allergic to entrectinib or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If you have any doubts, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Rozlytrek.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Rozlytrek if:

  • you have recently experienced memory loss, confusion, hallucinations, or changes in mental status;
  • you have had bone fractures or are prone to conditions that may increase the risk of bone breakage, known as “osteoporosis” or “osteopenia”;
  • you are taking medicines to lower uric acid levels in the blood;
  • you have or have had heart failure (the heart’s inability to pump blood adequately to supply oxygen to the body), signs of which may include cough, shortness of breath, or swelling in the legs or arms;
  • you have or have had a heart condition or a problem with the heart’s electrical conduction system called “QTc interval prolongation,” which may be detected by an “electrocardiogram” (ECG) or due to low levels of electrolytes in the blood;
  • you have a hereditary condition called “galactose intolerance,” “congenital lactase deficiency,” or “glucose-galactose malabsorption.”

If any of the above situations apply to you (or if you have any doubts), consult your doctor,
pharmacist, or nurse before taking Rozlytrek.

ANNEX IV
SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSIONS AND REASONS FOR THE CHANGE IN THE TERMS OF THE
MARKETING AUTHORISATION(S)
Scientific conclusions
Taking into account the PRAC assessment report on the PSURs for entrectinib, the PRAC's scientific conclusions are as follows:
In light of the available data on myocarditis from clinical studies, the literature, and spontaneous reports—including nine cases showing a close temporal relationship and a positive dechallenge—the PRAC considers that a causal relationship between entrectinib and myocarditis is at least a reasonable possibility. The PRAC concluded that the product information for medicines containing entrectinib should be amended accordingly.
After reviewing the PRAC's recommendation, the CHMP agrees with the PRAC's overall conclusions and the reasons for the recommendation.

Reasons for the change in the terms of the marketing authorisation(s)
Based on the scientific conclusions regarding entrectinib, the CHMP is of the opinion that the benefit-risk balance of the medicinal product containing entrectinib remains unchanged, subject to the proposed amendments to the product information.
The CHMP recommends that the terms of the marketing authorisation(s) be amended.
