  • Grade 3: Withhold until toxicity resolves to Grade 1 or baseline
  • Resume for hematologic toxicities resolving ≤1 week, at dose before suspending
  • Resume for other adverse reactions at next lower dose
  • Grade 4: Permanently discontinue

Renal impairment

  • Mild to moderate (creatinine clearance [CrCl] 30-89 mL/min): No dosage adjustment necessary
  • Severe (CrCl 15- 29 mL/min), renal dialysis in end-stage renal disease (CrCl <15 mL/min): Not studied

                Warnings

                Contraindications

                None

                Cautions

                Based on animal findings and its mechanism of action, fetal harm may occur in pregnant females

                Hyperphosphatemia

                • May cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, calcinosis, nonuremic calciphylaxis, and vascular calcification
                • Increased phosphate levels are a pharmacodynamic effect of futibatinib
                • Monitor for hyperphosphatemia throughout treatment
                • Initiate low phosphate diet and phosphate lowering therapy when serum phosphate level is ≥5.5 mg/dL
                • For serum phosphate levels is >7 mg/dL, initiate or intensify phosphate lowering therapy and reduce dose, withhold, or permanently discontinue based on duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia

                Retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED)

                • May cause RPED; symptoms include blurred vision
                • Perform comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) of macula, before initiating, every 2 months for first 6 months, and every 3 months thereafter
                • For onset of visual symptoms, refer for ophthalmologic evaluation urgently, with follow-up every 3 weeks until it resolves or therapy
                • Dry eye also occurred; treat with ocular demulcents as needed

                Drug interaction overview

                • Substrate of CYP3A and P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
                • Inhibitor of P-gp and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)
                • Dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors
                  • Avoid coadministration
                  • Drugs that are dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors may increase futibatinib exposure and increase risk of adverse reactions
                • Dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers
                  • Avoid coadministration
                  • Dual P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers may decrease futibatinib exposure and efficacy
                • P-gp or BCRP substrates
                  • Consider more frequent monitoring for adverse reactions associated with sensitive P-gp or BCRP substrates and reduce dose of these drugs per their prescribing information
                  • Futibatinib may increase exposure of drugs that are substrates of P-gp or BCRP

                Pregnancy & Lactation

                Pregnancy

                Based on an animal study and its mechanism of action, fetal harm or loss of pregnancy may occur when administered to pregnant females

                There are no available data on use of futibatinib in pregnant females

                Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential before initiating

                Contraception

                • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after last dose
                • Males with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant: Use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week after last dose

                Animal data

                • Oral futibatinib administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis at maternal plasma exposures below human exposure at clinical dose of 20 mg resulted in fetal malformations, fetal growth retardation, and embryofetal death
                • Advise pregnant females of potential risk to fetus

                Lactation

                There are no data on the presence of futibatinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on either breastfed infants or milk production

                Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after last dose

                Pregnancy Categories

                A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

                B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

                C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

                D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

                X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

                NA: Information not available.
