( 2.2 ) Administer prophylactic and concomitant medications to reduce the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions. ( 2.3 ) Administer anticoagulant prophylaxis to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) for the first four months of treatment. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the first-line treatment of NSCLC with LAZCLUZE, in combination with amivantamab, based on the presence of EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations in tumor or plasma specimens [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . If these mutations are not detected in a plasma specimen, test tumor tissue. Information on FDA-approved tests is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics . 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of LAZCLUZE is 240 mg orally once daily administered in combination with amivantamab, with or without food. Swallow LAZCLUZE tablets whole. Do not crush, split, or chew. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Administer LAZCLUZE any time prior to amivantamab when given on the same day. Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended amivantamab dosing information. Missed Dose If a patient misses a dose of LAZCLUZE within 12 hours, instruct patients to take the missed dose. If more than 12 hours has passed since the dose was to be given, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its scheduled time. Vomiting If vomiting occurs any time after taking LAZCLUZE, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its next regularly scheduled time. 2.3 Prophylactic and Concomitant Medications Venous Thromboembolic Events When initiating treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, administer anticoagulant prophylaxis to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) for the first four months of treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. If there are no signs or symptoms of VTE during the first four months of treatment, consider discontinuation of anticoagulant prophylaxis at the discretion of the healthcare provider. Dermatologic Adverse Reactions When initiating treatment with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, prophylactic and concomitant medications are recommended to reduce the risk and severity of dermatologic adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] .

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE) : Prophylactic anticoagulation is recommended for the first four months of treatment. Monitor for signs and symptoms of VTE and treat as medically appropriate. Withhold LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity. Once anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, resume LAZCLUZE and amivantamab at the same dose at the discretion of the healthcare provider. Permanently discontinue amivantamab and continue LAZCLUZE for recurrent VTE despite therapeutic anticoagulation. ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 5.1 ) Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis : Monitor for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Withhold LAZCLUZE and amivantamab in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed. ( 2.4 , 5.2 ) Dermatologic Adverse Reactions : Can cause severe rash including acneiform dermatitis. At treatment initiation, prophylactic and concomitant medications are recommended. Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity. ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 5.3 ) Hepatotoxicity : Can cause severe hepatotoxicity (including increased ALT and AST). Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity. ( 2.4 , 5.4 ) Ocular Adverse Reactions : Promptly refer patients with new or worsening signs and symptoms of ocular adverse reactions, including keratitis, to an ophthalmologist for evaluation. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue amivantamab and continue LAZCLUZE based on severity. ( 5.5 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Venous Thromboembolic Events LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause serious and fatal venous thromboembolic events (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The majority of these events occurred during the first four months of therapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In MARIPOSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , VTE occurred in 36% of patients receiving LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 10% and Grade 4 in 0.5% of patients. On-study VTEs occurred in 1.2% of patients (n=5) while receiving anticoagulation therapy. There were two fatal cases of VTE (0.5%), 7% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of LAZCLUZE, 0.5% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of LAZCLUZE, and 1.9% of patients permanently discontinued LAZCLUZE due to VTE. The median time to onset of VTEs was 84 days (range: 6 to 777). Administer prophylactic anticoagulation for the first four months of treatment [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . The use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended. Monitor for signs and symptoms of VTE and treat as medically appropriate. Withhold LAZCLUZE and amivantamab based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. Once anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, resume LAZCLUZE and amivantamab at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. In the event of VTE recurrence despite therapeutic anticoagulation, permanently discontinue amivantamab. Continue treatment with LAZCLUZE at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Refer to the amivantamab prescribing information for recommended amivantamab dosage modification. 5.2 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. In MARIPOSA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.1% of patients treated with LAZCLUZE in combination with amivantamab, including Grade 3 in 1.0% and Grade 4 in 0.2% of patients. There was one fatal case (0.2%) of ILD/pneumonitis and 2.9% of patients permanently discontinued LAZCLUZE and amivantamab due to ILD/pneumonitis [s…

Drug interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on LAZCLUZE CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of LAZCLUZE with strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Consider an alternate concomitant medication with no potential to induce CYP3A4. Lazertinib is a CYP3A4 substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreased lazertinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of lazertinib. 7.2 Effect of LAZCLUZE on Other Drugs Certain CYP3A4 Substrates Monitor for adverse reactions associated with a CYP3A4 substrate where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, as recommended in the approved product labeling for the CYP3A4 substrate. Lazertinib is a weak CYP3A4 inhibitor. Concomitant use of LAZCLUZE increased concentrations of CYP3A4 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Certain BCRP Substrates Monitor for adverse reactions associated with a BCRP substrate where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, as recommended in the approved product labeling for the BCRP substrate. Lazertinib is a BCRP inhibitor. Concomitant use of LAZCLUZE increased concentrations of BCRP substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , LAZCLUZE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of LAZCLUZE in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of lazertinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced embryo-fetal survival and fetal body weight in rats and malformations in rabbits at exposures approximately 4 and 0.5 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 7.5, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 17). Lazertinib decreased fetal body weights in association with maternal toxicity at 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC). In a dose range-finding embryo-fetal development study, oral administration of a higher dose of lazertinib (75 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in increased post-implantation loss. In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of 5, 25, or 45 mg/kg/day of lazertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 19). Lazertinib caused maternal toxicity (reduced body weight and food consumption leading to moribund condition and early termination) and an increase in the incidence of skeletal malformations in the vertebra and skull (fused maxillary process/zygomatic arch) at 45 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 240 mg/day based on AUC).
