5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hepatotoxicity: Fatal hepatotoxicity has occurred. Monitor with periodic liver testing. Temporarily suspend, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue XALKORI. ( 2.2 , 2.6 , 5.1 ) • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Permanently discontinue in patients with ILD/pneumonitis. ( 2.6 , 5.2 ) • QT Interval Prolongation: Monitor electrocardiograms and electrolytes in patients who have a history of or predisposition for QTc prolongation, or who are taking medications that prolong QT. Temporarily suspend, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue XALKORI. ( 2.6 , 5.3 ) • Bradycardia: XALKORI can cause bradycardia. Monitor heart rate and blood pressure regularly. Temporarily suspend, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue XALKORI. ( 2.6 , 5.4 ) • Severe Visual Loss: XALKORI can cause visual changes including severe visual loss. Monitor and evaluate for ocular toxicity throughout treatment. Discontinue XALKORI in patients with severe visual loss. ( 2.2 , 2.6 , 5.5 ) • Gastrointestinal Toxicity in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients with ALCL or Pediatric Patients with IMT: XALKORI can cause severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomatitis. Provide standard antiemetic and antidiarrheal agents. Temporarily suspend, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue XALKORI. ( 2.6 , 5.6 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception. ( 5.7 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity Drug-induced hepatotoxicity with fatal outcome occurred in 0.1% of the 1719 patients treated with XALKORI for NSCLC across clinical trials [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Concurrent elevations in ALT or AST ≥3 times the ULN and total bilirubin ≥2 times the ULN, with normal alkaline phosphatase, occurred in <1% of patients treated with XALKORI. Increased ALT or AST >5 times the ULN occurred in 11% and 6% of patients, respectively. One percent (1.0%) of patients required permanent discontinuation due to elevated transaminases. Increased transaminases generally occurred within the first 2 months of treatment. In Study ADVL0912, of 121 patients ages 1 to ≤21 years treated with XALKORI for relapsed or refractory tumors including ALCL and IMT, 71% and 79% had increases of AST and ALT, respectively, with increased ALT or AST >5 times the ULN in 6% each. Of the 26 patients with ALCL treated with XALKORI, 65% and 81% had increases of AST and ALT, respectively, with increases >5 times the ULN in 4% each. Of the 14 pediatric patients with IMT treated with XALKORI, 71% had increases of AST and 71% had increases of ALT. In Study A8081013, of the 7 adult patients with IMT treated with XALKORI, 57% and 43% had increases of AST and ALT, respectively. Monitor liver function tests, including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin, every 2 weeks during the first 2 months of treatment, then once a month, and as clinically indicated, with more frequent repeat testing for increased liver transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, or total bilirubin in patients who develop increased transaminases. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue XALKORI for hepatotoxicity as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . 5.2 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with XALKORI. Across clinical trials in patients with NSCLC (n=1719), 2.9% of XALKORI-treated patients had ILD of any grade, 1% had Grade 3 or 4 ILD, and 0.5% had fatal ILD [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Interstitial lung disease generally occurred within 3 months after the initiation of XALKORI. In Study ADVL0912, among 121 patients ages 1 to ≤21 years with relapsed or refractory tumors, including ALCL and IMT, ILD occurred in 0.8% of patients. Monitor patients for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Exclude other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis, and permanently discontinue XALKORI in patients diagnosed with drug-related ILD/pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . 5.3 QT Interval Prolongation QTc prolongation can occur in patients treated with XALKORI. Across clinical trials in patients with NSCLC, 2.1% of 1616 patients had QTcF (corrected QT for heart rate by the Fridericia method) greater than or equal to 500 ms and 5% of 1582 patients had an increase from baseline QTcF greater than or equal to 60 ms by automated machine-read evaluation of ECGs. In Study ADVL0912, QTc prolongation was reported as an adverse reaction in 4.1% of patients, including 8% of patients with ALCL and 7% of pediatric patients with IMT. Avoid use of XALKORI in patients with congenital long QT syndrome. Monitor ECGs and electrolytes in patients with congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias, electrolyte abnormalities, or who are taking medications that are known to prolong the QT interval. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue XALKORI for QT/QTc interval prolongation as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . 5.4 Bradycardia Symptomatic bradycardia can occur in patients receiving XALKORI. Across clinical trials in patients with NSCLC, bradycardia occurred in 13% of 1719 patients treated with XALKORI. Grade 3 syncope occurred in 2.4% of XALKORI-treated patients and in 0.6% of the chemotherapy-treated patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In Study ADVL0912, among 121 patients ages 1 to ≤21 years treated with XALKORI, bradycardia was reported in 14%, including Grade 3 bradycardia in 0.8% of patients. Of the 26 patients with ALCL treated with XALKORI, bradycardia (all Grade 1) was reported in 19%. Of the 14 pediatric patients with IMT treated with XALKORI, bradycardia was reported in 14% of patients, including Grade 3 bradycardia in 7% of patients. Avoid using XALKORI in combination with other medications known to cause bradycardia (e.g., beta-blockers, nondihydropyridine-calcium channel blockers, clonidine, and digoxin) to the extent possible. Monitor heart rate and blood pressure regularly. If bradycardia occurs, re-evaluate for the use of concomitant medications known to cause bradycardia. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue XALKORI for bradycardia as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . 5.5 Severe Visual Loss Across all clinical trials in patients with NSCLC, the incidence of Grade 4 visual field defect with visual loss was 0.2% of 1719 patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Optic atrophy and optic nerve disorder have been reported as potential causes of visual loss. In Study ADVL0912, visual disorders occurred in 46% of 121 patients with XALKORI, including 65% of 26 patients with ALCL and 50% of 14 patients with IMT. Of the 56 patients who experienced visual disorders, one pediatric patient with IMT experienced Grade 3 myopic optic nerve disorder. The most common visual symptoms were blurred vision and visual impairment. Assessment of visual symptoms for all patients is recommended monthly during treatment. Report new visual symptoms to an eye specialist. For pediatric and young adult patients with ALCL or pediatric patients with IMT, obtain baseline and follow-up ophthalmologic examinations including retinal examination within 1 month of starting XALKORI and every 3 months thereafter. The ophthalmological evaluation should consist of best corrected visual acuity, retinal photographs, visual fields, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and other evaluations as appropriate [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Permanently discontinue XALKORI for Grade 3 or 4 ocular disorders or severe visual loss (best corrected vision less than 20/200 in one or both eyes) unless another cause is identified [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . There is insufficient information to characterize the risks of resumption of XALKORI in patients who develop visual symptoms or visual loss. A decision to resume XALKORI should consider the potential benefits versus risks to the patient. 5.6 Gastrointestinal Toxicity in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients with ALCL or Pediatric Patients with IMT XALKORI can cause severe gastrointestinal toxicities in pediatric and young adult patients with ALCL or pediatric patients with IMT [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In patients with ALCL (n=26), gastrointestinal toxicity occurred in 100% of patients; Grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity occurred in 27% of patients and included diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomatitis. In pediatric patients with IMT (n=14), vomiting occurred in 93%, nausea occurred in 86%, and diarrhea occurred in 64% of patients. Provide standard antiemetic and antidiarrheal agents for gastrointestinal toxicities in pediatric and young adult patients with ALCL or pediatric patients with IMT. Antiemetics are recommended prior to and during treatment with XALKORI to prevent nausea and vomiting. If patients develop Grade 3 nausea lasting 3 days or Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea or vomiting despite maximum medical therapy, withhold XALKORI until resolved, and then resume at the next lower dose level. Consider supportive care such as hydration, electrolyte supplementation, and nutritional support as clinically indicated [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . 5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, XALKORI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of crizotinib in pregnant rats during organogenesis at exposures similar to those observed with the maximum recommended human dose resulted in embryotoxicity and fetotoxicity. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with XALKORI and for 45 days following the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use condoms during treatment with XALKORI and for 90 days after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) , Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ].
