S_4_1_therapeutic_indications
Lytgobi monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or rearrangement that have progressed after at least one prior line of systemic therapy.
S_4_2_posology_administration
Lytgobi therapy should be initiated by a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with biliary tract cancer. Presence of FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements should be confirmed by an appropriate diagnostic test prior to initiation of Lytgobi therapy. 2 Posology The recommended starting dose is 20 mg futibatinib taken orally once daily. If a dose of futibatinib is missed by more than 12 hours or vomiting occurs after taking a dose, an additional dose should not be taken, and treatment should be resumed with the next scheduled dose. Treatment should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In all patients, dietary restrictions that limit phosphate intake are recommended as part of hyperphosphatemia management. A phosphate-lowering therapy should be initiated when serum phosphate level is = 5.5 mg/dL. If the serum phosphate level is > 7 mg/dL, the dose of futibatinib should be modified based on the duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia (see Table 2). Prolonged hyperphosphatemia can cause soft tissue mineralization, including cutaneous calcification, vascular calcification, and myocardial calcification (see section 4.4). If Lytgobi treatment is stopped or serum phosphate level falls below normal range, phosphate-lowering therapy and diet should be discontinued. Severe hypophosphatemia may present with confusion, seizures, focal neurologic findings, heart failure, respiratory failure, muscle weakness, rhabdomyolysis, and hemolytic anemia. Dose adjustment due to drug
S_4_3_contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
S_4_4_warnings_precautions
Hyperphosphatemia Hyperphosphatemia is a pharmacodynamic effect expected with futibatinib administration (see section 5.1). Prolonged hyperphosphatemia may cause soft tissue mineralization, including cutaneous calcification, vascular calcification, and myocardial calcification, anaemia, hyperparathyroidism, and hypocalcemia that may cause muscle cramps, QT interval prolongation, and arrythmias (see section 4.2). Recommendations for management of hyperphosphatemia include dietary phosphate restriction, administration of phosphate-lowering therapy, and dose modification when required (see section 4.2). Phosphate-lowering therapy was used by 83.4 % of patients during treatment with futibatinib (see section 4.8). Serous retinal detachment Futibatinib can cause serous retinal detachment, which may present with symptoms such as blurred vision, visual floaters, or photopsia (see section 4.8). This can moderately influence the ability to drive and use machines (see section 4.7). 5 Ophthalmological examination should be performed prior to initiation of therapy, 6 weeks thereafter, and urgently at any time for visual symptoms. For serous retinal detachment reactions, the dose modification guidelines should be followed (see section 4.2). During the conduct of the clinical study, there was no routine monitoring, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), to detect asymptomatic serous retinal detachment; therefore, the incidence of asymptomatic serous retinal detachment with futibatinib is unknown. Careful consideration should be taken with patients that have clinically significant medical eye disorders, such as retinal disorders, including but not limited to, central serous retinopathy, macular/retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and previous retinal detachment. Dry eye Futibatinib can cause dry eye (see section 4.8). Patients should use ocular demulcents, in order to prevent or treat dry eye, as needed. Embryo-foetal toxicity Based on the mechanism of action and findings in an animal study (see section 5.3), futibatinib can cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Pregnant women should be advised of the potential risk to the foetus. An effective method of contraception should be used in women of childbearing potential and in men with women partners of childbearing potential during treatment with Lytgobi and for 1 week following completion of therapy, barrier methods should be applied as a second form of contraception to avoid pregnancy (see section 4.6). A pregnancy test should be performed before treatment initiation to exclude pregnancy. Combination with strong CYP3A inhibitors Concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors should be avoided because it may increase futibatinib plasma concentration (see sections 4.2 and 4.5). Combination with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers Concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers should be avoided because it may decrease futibatinib plasma concentration (see sections 4.2 and 4.5). Lactose Lytgobi contains lactose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicinal product. Sodium Lytgobi contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially “sodium-free”.
S_4_5_interactions
Effects of other medicinal products on futibatinib CYP3A inhibitors Co-administration of multiple doses of 200 mg itraconazole, a strong CYP3A inhibitor, increased futibatinib Cmax by 51% and AUC by 41% following a single oral dose of 20 mg futibatinib. Therefore, the concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g. clarithromycin, itraconazole) may increase futibatinib plasma concentration and should be avoided. If this is not possible, a reduction in the futibatinib dose to the next lower dose level based on 6 tolerability observed should be considered (see sections 4.2 and 4.4). CYP3A inducers Co-administration of multiple doses of 600 mg rifampin, a strong CYP3A inducer, decreased futibatinib Cmax by 53% and AUC by 64% following a single oral dose of 20 mg futibatinib. Therefore, the concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, efavirenz, rifampin) may decrease futibatinib plasma concentration and should be avoided. If this is not possible, gradually increasing the futibatinib dose based on careful monitoring of tolerability should be considered (see sections 4.2 and 4.4). P-gp inhibitors Co-administration of multiple doses of 200 mg quinidine, a P-gp inhibitor, increased futibatinib Cmax by 8% and AUCinf by 17% following a single oral dose of 20 mg futibatinib. Therefore, co- administration of P-gp inhibitors is not likely to have a clinically relevant effect on futibatinib exposure. Proton pump inhibitors Futibatinib geometric mean ratios for Cmax and AUC were 108% and 105%, respectively, when co-administered in healthy subjects with lansoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) relative to futibatinib alone. Therefore, co-administration of proton pump inhibitors is not likely to have a clinically relevant effect on futibatinib exposure. Effects of futibatinib on other medicinal products Effect of futibatinib on CYP3A substrate Midazolam (a CYP3A sensitive substrate) geometric mean ratios for Cmax and AUC were 95% and 91%, respectively, when co-administered in healthy subjects with futibatinib relative to midazolam alone. Therefore, co-administration of futibatinib is not likely to have a clinically relevant effect on the exposure of CYP3A substrates. Effect of futibatinib on P-gp substrates Digoxin (a sensitive P-gp substrate) geometric mean ratios for Cmax and AUCinf were 95% and 100%, respectively, when co-administered in healthy subjects with futibatinib relative to digoxin alone. Therefore, co-administration of futibatinib is not likely to have a clinically relevant effect on the exposure of P-gp substrates. Effect of futibatinib on BCRP substrates Rosuvastatin (a sensitive BCRP substrate) geometric mean ratios for Cmax and AUCinf were 110% and 113%, respectively, when co-administered in healthy subjects with futibatinib relative to rosuvastatin alone. Therefore, co-administration of futibatinib is not likely to have a clinically relevant effect on the exposure of BCRP substrates. Effect of futibatinib on CYP1A2 substrates In vitro studies indicate that futibatinib has the potential to induce CYP1A2. Co- administration of futibatinib with CYP1A2 sensitive substrates (e.g, olanzapine, theophylline) may decrease their exposure and therefore may affect their activity. Hormonal contraceptives It is currently unknown whether futibatinib may reduce the effectiveness of systemically acting hormonal contraceptives. Therefore, women using systemically acting hormonal contraceptives should add a barrier method during Lytgobi treatment and for at least 1 week after the last dose (see section 4.6). 7
S_4_6_pregnancy_lactation
Women of childbearing potential/Contraception in males and females An effective method of contraception should be used in women of childbearing potential and in men with women partners of childbearing potential during treatment with Lytgobi and for 1 week following completion of therapy. Since the effect of futibatinib on the metabolism and efficacy of contraceptives has not been investigated, barrier methods should be applied as a second form of contraception to avoid pregnancy. Pregnancy There are no available data from the use of futibatinib in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown embryo-foetal toxicity (see section 5.3). Lytgobi should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit for the women justifies the potential risk to the foetus. Breast-feeding It is unknown whether futibatinib or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. A risk to the breast-fed newborns/infants cannot be excluded. Breast-feeding should be discontinued during treatment with Lytgobi and for 1 week after the last dose. Fertility There are no data on the effect of futibatinib on human fertility. Animal fertility studies have not been conducted with futibatinib (see section 5.3). Based on the pharmacology of futibatinib, impairment of male and female fertility cannot be excluded.
S_4_7_driving_machines
Futibatinib has moderate influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Patients should be advised to be cautious when driving or operating machines in case they experience fatigue or visual disturbances during the treatment with Lytgobi (see section 4.4).

Description of selected adverse reactions Hyperphosphatemia Hyperphosphatemia was reported in 89.7% of patients treated with futibatinib and 27.6% patients had Grade 3 events, defined as serum phosphate > 7 mg/dL and = 10 mg/dL irrespective of clinical symptoms. The median time to onset of hyperphosphatemia of any grade was 6.0 days (range: 3.0 to 117.0 days). None of the reactions were Grade 4 or 5 in severity, serious, or led to discontinuation of futibatinib. Dose interruption occurred in 18.6 % patients and reduction in 17.9 % of patients. Hyperphosphatemia was manageable with dietary phosphate restriction and/or administration of phosphate lowering therapy and /or dose modification. 9 Recommendations for management of hyperphosphatemia are provided in sections 4.2 and 4.4. Serous retinal detachment Serous retinal detachment occurred in 6.2 % of patients treated with futibatinib. Reactions were all Grade 1 or 2 in severity. Dose interruption occurred in 2.1 % of patients and reduction in 2.1 % of patients. None of the reactions led to discontinuation of futibatinib. Serous retinal detachment was generally manageable. Recommendations for management of serous retinal detachment are provided in sections 4.2 and 4.4.

S_5_1_pharmacodynamics
Pharmacotherapeutic group: antineoplastic agents, protein kinase inhibitors, ATC code: L01 EN04 Mechanism of action Constitutive fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signalling can support the proliferation and survival of malignant cells. Futibatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that irreversibly inhibits FGFR 1, 2, 3, and 4 by covalent binding. Futibatinib exhibited in vitro inhibitory activity against FGFR2 resistance mutations (N550H, V565I, E566G, K660M). Pharmacodynamic effects Serum phosphate Futibatinib increased serum phosphate level as a consequence of FGFR inhibition. Phosphate- lowering therapy and dose modifications are recommended to manage hyperphosphatemia: see sections 4.2, 4.4 and 4.8. Clinical efficacy and safety TAS-120-101 a multicentre, open-label, single-arm study evaluated the efficacy and safety of futibatinib in previously treated patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Patients with prior FGFR-directed therapy were excluded. The efficacy population consists of 103 patients that had progressed on or after at least 1 prior gemcitabine and platinum-based chemotherapy and had FGFR2 fusion (77.7%) or rearrangement (22.3%), as determined by tests performed at central or local laboratories. Patients received futibatinib orally once daily at a dose of 20 mg until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary efficacy outcome measure was objective response rate 10 (ORR) as determined by an independent review committee (IRC) according to RECIST v1.1, with duration of response (DoR) as a key secondary endpoint. The median age was 58 years (range: 22 to 79 years), 22.3% were =65 years, 56.3% were female, 49.5% were Caucasian. All (100 %) patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 (46.6 %) or 1 (53.4 %). All patients had at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy, 30.1% had 2 prior lines of therapy, and 23.3% had 3 or more prior lines of therapy. All patients had received prior platinum-based therapy including 91% with prior gemcitabine/ cisplatin. Efficacy results are summarized in Table 6. The median time to response was 2.5 months (range 0.7 – 7.4 months).

In addition to the primary analysis presented here, an interim analysis was conducted without plans to stop the study. Results from both analyses were consistent. The primary analysis for DoR included censoring for new anti-cancer treatment, progressive disease or death after two or more missed tumour assessments, or at least 21 days after treatment discontinuation. Elderly patients In the clinical study of futibatinib, 22.3% of patients were 65 years and older. No difference in efficacy was detected between these patients and in patients < 65 years of age. Paediatric population The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies with Lytgobi in all subsets of the paediatric population in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. See section 4.2 for information in paediatric use. Conditional approval This medicinal product has been authorised under a so-called ‘conditional approval’ scheme. This means that further evidence on this medicinal product is awaited. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency will review new information on this medicinal product at least every year and this SmPC will be updated as necessary.
S_5_2_pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of futibatinib were evaluated in patients with advanced cancer administered 20 mg once daily unless otherwise specified. 11 Futibatinib exhibits linear pharmacokinetics over the dose range of 4 to 24 mg. Steady-state was reached after the first dose with a geometric mean accumulation ratio of 1.03. The geometric mean steady-state AUCss was 790 ng·h/mL (44.7% gCV) and Cmax,ss was 144 ng/mL (50.3% gCV) at the recommended dosage of 20 mg once daily. Absorption Median time to achieve peak plasma concentration (tmax) was 2 (range: 1.2 to 22.8) hours. No clinically meaningful differences in futibatinib pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of a high-fat and high-calorie meal (900 calories to 1000 calories with approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal from fat) in healthy subjects. Distribution Futibatinib is approximately 95% bound to human plasma proteins, predominantly to albumin and a1-acid glycoprotein. The estimated apparent volume of distribution was 66.1 L (17.5%). Biotransformation Futibatinib is predominantly metabolised by CYP3A (40-50%) as well as glutathione conjugation (50-60%) in vitro. Following oral administration of a single 20 mg radiolabelled futibatinib dose in healthy adult male subjects, the main drug-related moiety in plasma was unchanged futibatinib (59.19% of the total sample radioactivity) in a human [14C] mass balance study in healthy adult male subjects, followed by one inactive metabolite, a cysteinylglycine conjugate TAS-06-22952 (at >10% of dose). Elimination The mean elimination half-life (t1/2) of futibatinib was 2.94 (26.5% CV) hours and the geometric mean apparent clearance (CL/F) was 19.8 L/h (23.0%). Excretion Following a single oral dose of 20 mg radiolabelled futibatinib in healthy adult male subjects, approximately 64% of the dose was recovered in faeces and 6% in urine. Futibatinib excretion in unchanged form was negligible in either urine or faeces. Drug-drug
S_5_3_preclinical_data
Repeat-dose toxicity The main toxicological findings following repeat-dose administration of futibatinib in both rats and dogs were related to the pharmacological activity of futibatinib as an irreversible inhibitor of FGFR, including increased inorganic phosphorus and calcium in plasma, ectopic mineralization in various organs and tissues, lesions in bone/cartilage at futibatinib exposures lower than the human exposure at the clinical dose of 20 mg. Corneal lesions were found only in rats. These effects were reversible with the exception of ectopic mineralization. Genotoxicity Futibatinib was not mutagenic in vitro in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. It was positive in the in vitro chromosome aberration test in cultured Chinese hamster lung cell (CHL/IU), but negative in the bone marrow micronucleus assay in rat and didn’t induce DNA damage in comet assay in rats. Thus, futibatinib is overall non-genotoxic. Carcinogenicity Carcinogenicity studies with futibatinib have not been conducted. Impairment of fertility Dedicated fertility studies with futibatinib have not been conducted. In repeat dose toxicity studies, oral administration of futibatinib did not result in any dose-related findings likely to result in impaired fertility in male or female reproductive organs. Developmental toxicity Oral administration of futibatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in 100% post-implantation loss at 10 mg/kg per day (approximately 3.15 times the human exposure by AUC at the recommended clinical dose). At 0.5 mg/kg per day (approximately 0.15 times the human exposure by AUC at the recommended clinical dose), reduced mean foetal body weight, an increase in foetal skeletal and visceral malformations including major blood vessel variations were observed. 13
