14.1 HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

The efficacy of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine was evaluated in 612 patients in HER2CLIMB (NCT02614794), a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were required to have HER2-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, with or without brain metastases, and prior treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) separately or in combination, in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting. HER2 positivity was based on archival or fresh tissue tested with an FDA-approved test at a central laboratory prior to enrollment with HER2 positivity defined as HER2 IHC 3+ or ISH positive.

Patients with brain metastases, including those with progressing or untreated lesions, were eligible provided they were neurologically stable and did not require immediate radiation or surgery. The trial excluded patients with leptomeningeal disease. Randomization was stratified by the presence or history of brain metastases (yes vs. no), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0 vs. 1), and region (U.S., Canada, or rest of world).

Patients received TUKYSA 300 mg or placebo orally twice daily with a trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 if needed and then a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle thereafter and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally twice daily on Days 1 through 14 of every 21-day cycle. An alternate trastuzumab dosing regimen was 600 mg administered subcutaneously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor assessments, including brain-MRI in patients with presence or history of brain metastases at baseline, occurred every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter.

The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) in the first 480 randomized patients assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Additional efficacy outcome measures were evaluated in all randomized patients and included overall survival (OS), PFS among patients with a history or presence of brain metastases (PFSBrainMets), and confirmed objective response rate (ORR).

The median age was 54 years (range: 22 - 82); 116 (19%) patients were age 65 or older. The majority were White (73%) and female (99%) and 51% had an ECOG performance status of 1. Sixty percent had estrogen and/or progesterone receptor-positive disease. Forty-eight percent had a presence or history of brain metastases; of these patients, 23% had untreated brain metastases, 40% had treated but stable brain metastases, and 37% had treated but radiographically progressing brain metastases. Seventy-four percent of patients had visceral metastases. Patients had received a median of 4 (range, 2 to 17) prior lines of systemic therapy and a median of 3 (range, 1 to 14) prior lines of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. All patients received prior trastuzumab and T-DM1 and all but two patients had prior pertuzumab.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 12 and Figure 1 and 2. Efficacy results were consistent across patient subgroups defined by stratification factors (presence or history of brain metastases, ECOG status, region of world) and hormone receptor status.

14.2 HER2-Positive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The efficacy of TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab was evaluated in 84 patients in MOUNTAINEER (NCT03043313), an open-label, multicenter trial. Patients were required to have HER2-positive, RAS wild-type, unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer and prior treatment with fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody (mAb). Patients whose disease had deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) proteins or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) must have also received an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) mAb. Patients who received prior anti-HER2 targeting therapy were excluded. HER2 positivity as defined by HER2 overexpression or gene amplification was prospectively determined in local laboratories using immunohistochemistry (IHC), in situ hybridization (ISH), and/or next generation sequencing (NGS) on tumor tissue. RAS status was performed as standard of care prior to study entry based on expanded RAS testing including KRAS exons 2, 3, and 4 and NRAS exons 2, 3, and 4.

The median age was 55 years (range: 24 to 77); 12 (14%) patients were age 65 or older. Seventy-seven percent of patients were White, 4% were Black, 4% were Asian, and 4% were Hispanic or Latino. Sixty-one percent of patients were male. Seventy percent of patients had lung metastases, 64% had liver metastases, 60% had an ECOG performance status of 0, 37% had an ECOG performance status of 1, and 4% had an ECOG performance status of 2. Ninety-nine percent of patients received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan and 83% and 52% received anti-VEGF antibodies and anti-EGFR antibodies respectively; 23%, 38%, and 39% received 1, 2, or ≥3 prior lines of therapy, respectively.

Patients received TUKYSA 300 mg orally twice per day with a loading dose of trastuzumab or a non-US approved trastuzumab product 8 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of Cycle 1, followed by a maintenance dose of trastuzumab 6 mg/kg on Day 1 of each subsequent 21-day cycle. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to RECIST version 1.1.

Efficacy results are summarized in Table 13.

MEDICATION GUIDE

This Patient Information has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.     Revised: 01/2023

PATIENT INFORMATION
TUKYSA® (too-KYE-sah)
(tucatinib)
tablets

Important information: If your healthcare provider prescribes TUKYSA in combination with capecitabine for your breast cancer, also read the Patient Information that comes with capecitabine.

What is TUKYSA?
TUKYSA is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:

a type of breast cancer called human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. TUKYSA is used with the medicines trastuzumab and capecitabine, when your cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the brain (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery, and you have received one or more anti-HER2 breast cancer treatments.
a type of colorectal cancer called RAS wild-type HER2-positive colorectal cancer. TUKYSA is used with the medicine trastuzumab, when your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery, and you have received treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy and it did not work or is no longer working.

It is not known if TUKYSA is safe and effective in children.

Before taking TUKYSA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

have liver problems.
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. TUKYSA can harm your unborn baby.
Females who are able to become pregnant:
o
Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with TUKYSA.
o
You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA. Talk with your healthcare provider about forms of birth control that you can use during this time.
o
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with TUKYSA.
 
Males with female partner who are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA.
are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if TUKYSA passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose of TUKYSA.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. TUKYSA may affect the way your other medicines work, and other medicines may affect the way TUKYSA works.

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of all the medicines you take and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist every time you get a new medicine.

How should I take TUKYSA? 

Take TUKYSA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.
TUKYSA is used with the medicine trastuzumab for colorectal cancer or with trastuzumab and capecitabine for breast cancer. Your healthcare provider will tell you the dose of trastuzumab and capecitabine you will take and how you will receive them.
Take TUKYSA 2 times a day, with or without a meal.
Take TUKYSA about 12 hours apart or at the same times every day.
Swallow TUKYSA tablets whole. Do not chew, crush, or split TUKYSA tablets before swallowing. Do not take TUKYSA tablets if they are broken, cracked, or damaged.
If you vomit or miss a dose of TUKYSA, take your next dose at your regular time.

What are the possible side effects of TUKYSA?
TUKYSA may cause serious side effects, including:

Diarrhea. Diarrhea is common with TUKYSA and can sometimes be severe. Tell your healthcare provider if you have a change in your bowel movements or severe diarrhea. Severe diarrhea can lead to loss of too much body fluids (dehydration), low blood pressure, kidney problems and death. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medicines to treat your diarrhea during treatment with TUKYSA.
Liver Problems. TUKYSA can cause severe liver problems. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your liver function before and every 3 weeks during treatment with TUKYSA, or as needed. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any signs and symptoms of liver problems including:
o
itching
o
yellowing of your skin or eyes
o
dark or brown urine (tea-colored)
o
pain in the upper right side of your stomach-area (abdomen)
o
