            Also see Dosage Modifications

            Increases incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, keratoacanthoma, and new incidence melanoma; perform dermatologic evaluations prior to initiation of therapy, every 2 months while on therapy, and for up to 6 months following discontinuation

            BRAF inhibitors may cause paradoxical activation of MAP-kinase signaling and increased cell proliferation in BRAF wild-type cells; confirm evidence of BRAF V600E mutation status prior to initiation

            Based on its mechanism of action, dabrafenib may promote growth and development of malignancies with activation of RAS through mutation or other mechanisms

            Hemorrhage, including major hemorrhages, can occur when used in combination with trametinib; permanently discontinue therapy for all Grade 4 hemorrhagic events and for any Grade 3 hemorrhagic events that do not improve; withhold therapy for Grade 3 hemorrhagic events; if improved, resume at next lower dose level

            Venous thromboembolism can occur when used in combination with trametinib

            Serious febrile reactions and fever of any severity complicated by hypotension, rigors or chills reported

            Hyperglycemia reported; monitor serum glucose levels in patients with pre-existing diabetes or hyperglycemia; initiate or optimize anti-hyperglycemic medications as clinically indicated

            Contains a sulfonamide moiety which increases the risk of hemolytic anemia in patients with G6PD deficiency

            Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) observed in post-marketing setting when administered with trametinib; if HLH suspected, interrupt treatment; if HLH confirmed, discontinue treatment and initiate appropriate management of HLH

            Based on its mechanism of action, dabrafenib can cause fetal harm; advise females of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus

            Febrile reactions

            • Incidence and severity of pyrexia are increased when dabrafenib is administered with trametinib compared with dabrafenib as a single agent
            • Withhold dabrafenib when used as monotherapy, and with trametinib when used in combination, if the patient’s temperature is greater than or equal to 100.4°F
            • In case of recurrence, therapy can be interrupted at first symptom of pyrexia; fever may be complicated by hypotension, rigors or chills, dehydration, or renal failure; evaluate for signs and symptoms of infection, and monitor serum creatinine and other evidence of renal function during and following severe pyrexia
            • Dabrafenib, or both dabrafenib and trametinib when used in combination, may be restarted if patient has recovered from febrile reaction for at least 24 hours, either at same or lower dose
            • Administer antipyretics as secondary prophylaxis when resuming dabrafenib if patient had a prior episode of severe febrile reaction or fever associated with complications
            • Administer corticosteroids (eg, prednisone 10 mg daily) for at least 5 days for second or subsequent pyrexia if temperature does not return to baseline within 3 days of onset of pyrexia, or for pyrexia associated with complications, such as dehydration, hypotension, renal failure or severe chills/rigors, and there is no evidence of active infection

            Skin toxicity

            • Risk of serious skin toxicity including rash, dermatitis, acneiform rash, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, and erythema
            • Monitor for new or worsening serious skin reactions
            • Withhold treatment for intolerable or severe skin toxicity
            • Resume treatment at a lower dose in patients with improvement or recovery from skin toxicity within 3 weeks
            • Permanently discontinue therapy for severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) if skin toxicity not improved within 3 weeks

            Uveitis

            • Uveitis, iritis, and retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) reported; monitor patients routinely for visual symptoms
            • If iritis diagnosed, administer ocular therapy and continue therapy without dose modification
            • If severe uveitis (i.e., iridocyclitis) or if mild or moderate uveitis does not respond to ocular therapy, withhold treatment and treat as clinically indicated
            • Resume treatment at same or lower dose if improves to Grade 0 or 1
            • Permanently discontinue therapy for persistent Grade 2 or greater uveitis of > 6 weeks

            Cardiomyopathy

            • Assess LVEF by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan before initiation of therapy in combination with trametinib
            • Risk increases when used as a single agent or with trametinib
            • Reassess LVEF after 1 month of treatment and then ~ every 2-3 months thereafter
            • Withhold therapy for symptomatic cardiomyopathy or asymptomatic LV dysfunction of > 20% from baseline that is below institutional lower limit of normal (LLN)
            • Resume treatment at the same dose level upon recovery of cardiac function to at least the institutional LLN for LVEF and absolute decrease 10% compared to baseline

            Drug interaction overview

            • Dabrafenib may render hormonal contraceptives less effective and an alternative method of contraception should be used
            • Coadministration with strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 or CYP2C8 is not recommended
            • Drugs that increase gastric pH may decrease dabrafenib concentrations
            • Dabrafenib inhibits certain CYP isoenzymes; concomitant use with drugs that are sensitive substrates of CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2B6 may result in loss of efficacy of these drugs

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating therapy

            Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women

            Dabrafenib was teratogenic and embryotoxic in rats at doses three times greater than the human exposure; advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus

            Contraception

            • Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 2 weeks after the last dose
            • Counsel patients to use a nonhormonal method of contraception since dabrafenib can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective
            • To avoid potential drug exposure to pregnant partners and female partners of reproductive potential, advise male patients (including those who have had vasectomies) with female partners of reproductive potential to use condoms during treatment and for at least 2 weeks after last dose

            Infertility

            • Females: Advise female patients of reproductive potential that dabrafenib may impair fertility
            • Males: Advise male patients of the potential risk for impaired spermatogenesis which may be irreversible

            Lactation

            Data are not available regarding presence in human milk, effects on breastfed infants, or effects on milk production

            Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 2 weeks 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.

            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Inhibits some mutated forms of BRAF kinases with in vitro IC50 values of 0.65, 0.5, and 1.84 nM for BRAF V600E, BRAF V600K, and BRAF V600D enzymes, respectively

            Absorption

            Bioavailability: 95%

            Peak plasma time: 2 hr

            High-calorie meal decreased AUC by 31%, Cmax by 51%, and delayed Tmax by 3.6 hr compared with fasted state

            Distribution

            Protein Bound: 99.7%

            Vd: 70.3 L

            Metabolism

            Primarily mediated by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 to form hydroxy-dabrafenib

            Hydroxy-dabrafenib is further oxidized via CYP3A4 to form carboxy-dabrafenib and subsequently excreted in bile and urine

            Carboxy-dabrafenib is decarboxylated to form desmethyl-dabrafenib; desmethyl-dabrafenib may be reabsorbed from the gut

            Desmethyl-dabrafenib is further metabolized by CYP3A4 to oxidative metabolites

            Elimination

            Half-life: 8 hr (parent); 10 hr (hydroxy-dabrafenib); 21-22 hr (carboxy- and desmethyl-dabrafenib)

            Clearance: 17 L/hr (single dose); 34.4 L/hr (after 2 wk of BID dosing)

            Excretion: 71% feces; 23% urine (as metabolites only)
