            Warnings

            Contraindications

            None

            Cautions

            Severe, including fatal, treatment-related ILD/pneumonitis reported; monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of pneumonitis; generally occurred within 3 months after initiation

            Drug-induced hepatoxicity reported; monitor liver function tests every 2 weeks during the first 2 months of treatment, then monthly, and as clinically needed; more frequently in patients who develop increased transaminases; withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue for hepatotoxicity as recommended

            Symptomatic bradycardia reported, including syncope; monitor HR and blood pressure regularly

            Caution when driving or operating machinery because of vision disorder, dizziness, or fatigue associated with treatment

            May cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant females

            Interstitial lung disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis reported; permanently discontinue in patients with ILD/pneumonitis

            Visual loss

            • Visual field defect with vision loss reported; optic atrophy and optic nerve disorder have been reported as potential causes of vision loss; most common visual symptoms were blurred vision and visual impairment in ALCL patients
            • There is insufficient information to characterize risks of resumption of drug in patients who develop visual symptoms or visual loss; a decision to resume therapy should consider potential benefits versus risks to patient
            • 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 initiating therapy and every 3 months thereafter
            • Perform an ophthalmological evaluation consisting of best corrected visual acuity, retinal photographs, visual fields, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and other evaluations as appropriate for new onset of visual loss and for other visual symptoms as clinically warranted
            • Permanently discontinue therapy 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

            Gastrointestinal toxicity

            • Severe gastrointestinal toxicities (eg, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis) can occur in ALCL patients; provide standard antiemetic and antidiarrheal agents for gastrointestinal toxicities in patients with ALCL; antiemetics are recommended prior to and during treatment with drug 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 therapy until resolved, and then resume at next lower dose level; consider supportive care such as hydration, electrolyte supplementation, and nutritional support as clinically indicated

            QT interval prolongation

            • QTc prolongation reported
            • Avoid use with congenital long QT syndrome

            • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 45 days following the final dose
            • Males with female partners of reproductive potential: Use condoms during treatment and for at least 90 days after final dose

            Infertility

            • Based on reproductive organ findings in animals, reduced fertility in females and males of reproductive potential may occur
            • Unknown whether these effects on fertility are reversible

            Lactation

            No information available on drug presence in human milk, effects on the breastfed infants, or effects on milk production

            Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 45 days after final 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

            Inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases including ALK, Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGFR, c-Met), and Recepteur d’Origine Nantais (RON)

            ALK gene expression and signaling that contribute to increased cell proliferation and survival of the tumors become activated following formation of ALK oncogenic fusion proteins

            Inhibits signaling that promotes the expression of these oncogenic fusion proteins, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation

            Absorption

            Adults

            • Bioavailability: 43% (mean absolute bioavailability)
            • Mean accumulation ratio: 4.8
            • Peak plasma time: 4-6 hr
            • Steady-state reached at 15 days (250 mg PO BID)
            • Effect of food
              • High-fat meal reduced AUC and peak plasma concentration by ~14%

            Children and young adults

            • Peak plasma concentration: 621 ng/mL
            • AUC: 6530 ng⋅hr/mL

            Distribution

            Protein Bound: 91% to human plasma proteins, independent of drug concentration

            Vd (steady-state): 1772 L (50-mg IV dose)

            Blood-to-plasma ratio: 1

            P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate and inhibitor

            Metabolism

            Predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4/5

            Time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A

            Primary metabolic pathways in humans were oxidation of the piperidine ring to crizotinib lactam and O-dealkylation, with subsequent Phase 2 conjugation of O-dealkylated metabolites

            Elimination

            Half-life: 42 hr

            Total body clearance: 60 L/hr (250 mg PO q12hr at steady-state); 100 L/hr (250 mg PO qDay)

            Excretion: Feces 63%; urine 22%

            Pharmacogenomics

            Patient selection for treatment is based on presence of ALK fusion gene

            Verify presence of ALK fusion gene by using the diagnostic test, Abbott Molecular’s Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit
