    3.4 Dosage Modifications for Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors
Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors during treatment with ALUNBRIG [see Drug Interactions (8.1), Clinical Pharmacology (11.3)]. If coadministration of a strong CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce the ALUNBRIG once daily dose by approximately 50% (i.e., from 180 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg). If coadministration of a moderate CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce the ALUNBRIG once daily dose by approximately 40% (i.e. from 180 mg to 120 mg, 120 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg). After discontinuation of a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor, resume the ALUNBRIG dose that was tolerated prior to initiating the CYP3A inhibitor.

3.5 Dosage Modifications for Moderate CYP3A Inducers
Avoid coadministration of moderate CYP3A inducers during treatment with ALUNBRIG [see Drug Interactions (8.1), Clinical Pharmacology (11.3)]. If coadministration of a moderate CYP3A inducer cannot be avoided, increase the ALUNBRIG once daily dose in 30 mg increments after 7 days of treatment with the current ALUNBRIG dose as tolerated, up to a maximum of twice the ALUNBRIG dose that was tolerated prior to initiating the moderate CYP3A inducer.

After discontinuation of a moderate CYP3A inducer, resume the ALUNBRIG dose that was tolerated prior to initiating the moderate CYP3A inducer.

3.6 Dosage Modifications for Patients with Severe Hepatic Impairment
Reduce the ALUNBRIG once daily dose by approximately 40% (i.e. from 180 mg to 120 mg, 120 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg) for patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Use in Specific Populations (9.6), Clinical Pharmacology (11.3)].

3.7 Dosage Modifications for Patients with Severe Renal Impairment
Reduce the ALUNBRIG once daily dose by approximately 50% (i.e. from 180 mg to 90 mg, or from 90 mg to 60 mg) for patients with severe renal impairment [creatinine clearance (CLcr) 15 to 29 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault] [see Use in Specific Populations (9.7), Clinical Pharmacology (11.3)].

6     WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
6.1 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis
Severe, life-threatening, and fatal pulmonary adverse reactions consistent with interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis have occurred with ALUNBRIG.
In Trial ALTA 1L, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 5.1% of patients receiving ALUNBRIG. ILD/pneumonitis occurred within 8 days of initiation of ALUNBRIG in 2.9% of patients, with Grade 3 to 4 reactions occurring in 2.2% of patients.
In Trial ALTA, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.7% of patients in the 90 mg group (90 mg once daily) and 9.1% of patients in the 90→180 mg group (180 mg once daily with 7-day lead-in at 90 mg once daily).
Adverse reactions consistent with possible ILD/pneumonitis occurred within 9 days of initiation of ALUNBRIG (median onset was 2 days) in 6.4% of patients, with Grade 3 to 4 reactions occurring in 2.7%.

Monitor for new or worsening respiratory symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, cough, etc.), particularly during the first week of initiating ALUNBRIG. Withhold ALUNBRIG in any patient with new or worsening respiratory symptoms, and promptly evaluate for ILD/pneumonitis or other causes of respiratory symptoms (e.g., pulmonary embolism, tumor progression, and infectious pneumonia). For Grade 1 or 2 ILD/pneumonitis, either resume ALUNBRIG with dose reduction according to Table 1 after recovery to baseline or permanently discontinue ALUNBRIG. Permanently discontinue ALUNBRIG for Grade 3 or 4 ILD/pneumonitis or recurrence of Grade 1 or 2 ILD/pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (3.3,) Adverse Reactions (7)].

6.2 Hypertension
In ALTA 1L, hypertension was reported in 32% of patients receiving ALUNBRIG; Grade 3 hypertension occurred in 13% of patients.
In ALTA, hypertension was reported in 11% of patients in the 90 mg group who received ALUNBRIG and 21% of patients in the 90→180 mg group. Grade 3 hypertension occurred in 5.9% of patients overall.
Control blood pressure prior to treatment with ALUNBRIG. Monitor blood pressure after 2 weeks and at least monthly thereafter during treatment with ALUNBRIG. Withhold ALUNBRIG for Grade 3 hypertension despite optimal antihypertensive therapy. Upon resolution or improvement to Grade 1, resume ALUNBRIG at the same dose. Consider permanent discontinuation of treatment with ALUNBRIG for Grade 4 hypertension or recurrence of Grade 3 hypertension [see Dosage and Administration (3.3), Adverse Reactions (7)].
Use caution when administering ALUNBRIG in combination with antihypertensive agents that cause bradycardia [see Warnings and Precautions (6.3)].

6.3 Bradycardia
In ALTA 1L, heart rates less than 50 beats per minute (bpm) occurred in 8.1% of patients receiving ALUNBRIG. Grade 3 bradycardia occurred in 1 patient (0.7%).

Permanently discontinue ALUNBRIG for Grade 2 to 4 hepatic enzyme elevation with concurrent total bilirubin elevation greater than 2 times the ULN in the absence of cholestasis or hemolysis [see Dosage and Administration (3.3), Adverse Reactions (7)].



6.8   Hyperglycemia

In ALTA 1L, 56% of patients who received ALUNBRIG experienced new or worsening hyperglycemia.
Grade 3 hyperglycemia, based on laboratory assessment of serum fasting glucose levels, occurred in 7.5% of patients.
In ALTA, 43% of patients who received ALUNBRIG experienced new or worsening hyperglycemia. Grade 3 hyperglycemia, based on laboratory assessment of serum fasting glucose levels, occurred in 3.7% of patients. Two of 20 (10%) patients with diabetes or glucose intolerance at baseline required initiation of insulin while receiving ALUNBRIG.
Assess fasting serum glucose prior to initiation of ALUNBRIG and monitor periodically thereafter. Initiate or optimize anti- hyperglycemic medications as needed. If adequate hyperglycemic control cannot be achieved with optimal medical management, withhold ALUNBRIG until adequate hyperglycemic control is achieved and consider reducing the dose of ALUNBRIG as described in Table 1 or permanently discontinuing ALUNBRIG [see Dosage and Administration (3), Adverse Reactions (7)].

6.9   Photosensitivity

In ALTA 1L, photosensitivity occurred in 3.7% of patients who received ALUNBRIG, with 0.7% Grade 3 to 4.

In ALTA, 0.9% of patients who received ALUNBRIG in the 90 mg group experienced photosensitivity and 0.9% of patients in the 90 mg→180 mg group. Grade 3 to 4 photosensitivity was not reported in patients in the 90 mg group or in the 90→180 mg group.

Advise patients to limit sun exposure while taking brigatinib, and for at least 5 days after discontinuation of treatment. Advise patients, when outdoors to wear a hat and protective clothing, and use a broad- spectrum Ultraviolet A (UVA)/ Ultraviolet B (UVB) sunscreen and lip balm (SPF ≥30) to help protect against sunburn. Based on the severity withhold ALUNBRIG, then resume at the same dose, or reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue as described in Table 2 [see Dosage and Administration (3.3), Adverse Reactions (7)].

6. 10 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals, ALUNBRIG can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. There are no clinical data on the use of ALUNBRIG in pregnant women.
Administration of brigatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in dose-related skeletal anomalies at doses as low as 12.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.7 times the human exposure by AUC at 180 mg once daily) as well as increased post implantation loss, malformations, and decreased fetal body weight at doses of 25 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.26 times the human exposure at 180 mg once daily) or higher.
Advise women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ALUNBRIG and for at least 4 months following the final dose.
Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose of ALUNBRIG [see Use in Specific Populations (9.1, 9.3), Clinical Pharmacology (11.3)].

7.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Advanced ALK-positive NSCLC Without Prior ALK-targeted Therapy
In ALTA 1L, the safety of ALUNBRIG was evaluated in 136 patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC who had not previously received an ALK-targeted therapy [see Clinical Studies (13)]. The median duration of treatment with ALUNBRIG when administered as 90 mg orally once daily for the first 7 days; then increased to 180 mg orally once daily, was 24.3 months. A total of 106 (78%) patients were exposed to ALUNBRIG for greater than or equal to 6 months including 92 (68%) patients exposed for greater than or equal to 1 year. The median relative dose intensity was 97% for ALUNBRIG.
The study population (N = 275) characteristics were: median age 59 years (range: 27 to 89), age less than 65 years (68%), female (55%), White (59%), Asian (39%), Stage IV disease (93%), NSCLC adenocarcinoma histology (96%), never smoker (58%), ECOG Performance Status (PS) 0 or 1 (95%), and CNS metastases at baseline (30%) [see Clinical Studies (13)].
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients receiving ALUNBRIG. The most common serious adverse reactions were pneumonia (4.4%), ILD/pneumonitis (3.7%), pyrexia (2.9%), dyspnea (2.2%), pulmonary embolism (2.2%), and asthenia (2.2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2.9% of patients and included pneumonia (1.5%), cerebrovascular accident (0.7%), and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (0.7%).
In ALTA 1L, 13% of patients receiving ALUNBRIG permanently discontinued ALUNBRIG for adverse reactions. The most frequent adverse reactions that led to discontinuation were ILD/pneumonitis (3.7%) and pneumonia (2.2%). In ALTA 1L, 38% of patients required a dose reduction due to adverse reactions.
The most common adverse reaction that led to dose reduction was increased creatine phosphokinase (15%), increased lipase (6.6%), increased amylase (4.4%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (2.2%), ILD/pneumonitis (2.2%) and hypertension (2.2%).
Table 3 and Table 4 summarize the common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities observed in ALTA 1L.

Clinically relevant adverse reactions in patients who received ALUNBRIG included photosensitivity (3.7%).

ALK-positive Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC Previously Treated with Crizotinib The safety of ALUNBRIG was evaluated in 219 patients with locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC who received at least 1 dose of ALUNBRIG in ALTA after experiencing disease progression on crizotinib. Patients received ALUNBRIG 90 mg once daily continuously (90 mg group) or 90 mg once daily for 7 days followed by 180 mg once daily (90→180 mg group). The median duration of treatment was 7.5 months in the 90 mg group and 7.8 months in the 90→180 mg group. A total of 150 (68%) patients were exposed to ALUNBRIG for greater than or equal to 6 months and 42 (19%) patients were exposed for greater than or equal to 1 year.

The study population (N=222) characteristics were: median age 54 years (range: 18 to 82), age less than 65 years (77%), female (57%), White (67%), Asian (31%), Stage IV disease (98%), NSCLC adenocarcinoma histology (97%), never or former smoker (95%), ECOG Performance Status (PS) 0 or 1 (93%), and CNS metastases at baseline (69%) [see Clinical Studies (13)].


Serious adverse reactions occurred in 38% of patients in the 90 mg group and 40% of patients in the 90→180 mg group. The most common serious adverse reactions were pneumonia (5.5% overall, 3.7% in the 90 mg group, and 7.3% in the 90→180 mg group) and ILD/pneumonitis (4.6% overall, 1.8% in the 90 mg group and 7.3% in the 90→180 mg group). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.7% of patients and consisted of pneumonia (2 patients), sudden death, dyspnea, respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, bacterial meningitis and urosepsis (1 patient each).

In ALTA, 2.8% of patients in the 90 mg group and 8.2% of patients in the 90→180 mg group permanently discontinued ALUNBRIG for adverse reactions. The most frequent adverse reactions that led to discontinuation were ILD/pneumonitis (0.9% in the 90 mg group and 1.8% in the 90→180 mg group) and pneumonia (1.8% in the 90→180 mg group only).

In ALTA, 14% of patients required a dose reduction due to adverse reactions (7.3% in the 90 mg group and 20% in the 90→180 mg group). The most common adverse reaction that led to dose reduction was increased creatine phosphokinase for both regimens (1.8% in the 90 mg group and 4.5% in the 90→180 mg group).

Table 5 and Table 6 summarize the common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities observed in ALTA.
