Wording differs between labels, and the full indications section on this page takes precedence when it is present.
Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE IBRANCE is a kinase inhibitor indicated: • for the treatment of adult patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with: o an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy ( 1.1 ); or o fulvestrant in patients with disease progression following endocrine therapy. ( 1.1 ) • in combination with inavolisib and fulvestrant for the treatment of adult patients with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA -mutated, HR-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA‑authorized test, following recurrence on or after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy. ( 1.1 ) • in combination with trastuzumab, with or without pertuzumab, and endocrine therapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with HR-positive, HER2‑positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer following induction treatment. ( 1.2 ) 1.1 HER2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer IBRANCE is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with: • an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy; or • fulvestrant in patients with disease progression following endocrine therapy. IBRANCE is indicated in combination with inavolisib and fulvestrant for the treatment of adult patients with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA -mutated, HR-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA- authorized test, following recurrence on or after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy. 1.2 HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer IBRANCE is indicated in combination with trastuzumab, with or without pertuzumab, and endocrine therapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with HR-positive, HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer following induction treatment.
Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Recommended starting dose: 125 mg once daily taken with or without food for 21 days followed by 7 days off treatment. ( 2.1 ) • Dosing interruption and/or dose reductions are recommended based on individual safety and tolerability. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of IBRANCE is a 125 mg tablet taken orally once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off treatment to comprise a complete cycle of 28 days. IBRANCE tablet may be taken with or without food [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Advise patients to take their dose of IBRANCE at approximately the same time each day. If the patient vomits or misses a dose, an additional dose should not be taken. The next prescribed dose should be taken at the usual time. IBRANCE tablets should be swallowed whole (do not chew, crush, or split them prior to swallowing). Tablets should not be ingested if they are broken, cracked, or otherwise not intact. Pre/perimenopausal women treated with the combination IBRANCE plus an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant, IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant therapy, or IBRANCE plus trastuzumab, with or without pertuzumab, plus endocrine therapy should also be treated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists according to current clinical practice standards. For men treated with combination IBRANCE plus aromatase inhibitor, IBRANCE plus inavolisib and fulvestrant therapy, or IBRANCE plus trastuzumab, with or without pertuzumab, plus endocrine therapy, consider treatment with an LHRH agonist according to current clinical practice standards. Refer to the Prescribing Information for recommended dosage for endocrine therapy, inavolisib, trastuzumab and pertuzumab administered in combination with IBRANCE. 2.2 Dose Modification The recommended dose modifications for adverse reactions are listed in Tables 1, 2, and 3. Table 1. Recommended Dose Modification for Adverse Reactions Dose Level Dose Recommended starting dose 125 mg/day First dose reduction 100 mg/day Second dose reduction 75 mg/day If further dose reduction below 75 mg/day is required, discontinue. Table 2. Dose Modification and Management – Hematologic Toxicities Table applies to all hematologic adverse reactions except lymphopenia (unless associated with clinical events, e.g., opportunistic infections). Grading according to CTCAE 4.0. CTCAE=Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events; LLN=lower limit of normal. Monitor complete blood counts prior to the start of IBRANCE therapy and at the beginning of each cycle, as well as on Day 15 of the first 2 cycles, and as clinically indicated. For patients who experience a maximum of Grade 1 or 2 neutropenia in the first 6 cycles, monitor complete blood counts for subsequent cycles every 3 months, prior to the beginning of a cycle and as clinically indicated. CTCAE Grade Dose Modifications Grade 1 or 2 No dose adjustment is required. Grade 3 Day 1 of cycle : Withhold IBRANCE, repeat complete blood count monitoring within 1 week. When recovered to Grade ≤2, start the next cycle at the same dose . Day 15 of first 2 cycles : If Grade 3 on Day 15, continue IBRANCE at current dose to complete cycle and repeat complete blood count on Day 22. If Grade 4 on Day 22, see Grade 4 dose modification guidelines below. Consider dose reduction in cases of prolonged (>1 week) recovery from Grade 3 neutropenia or recurrent Grade 3 neutropenia on Day 1 of subsequent cycles. Grade 3 neutropenia Absolute neutrophil count (ANC): Grade 1: ANC < LLN – 1500/mm 3 ; Grade 2: ANC 1000 – <1500/mm 3 ; Grade 3: ANC 500 – <1000/mm 3 ; Grade 4: ANC <500/mm 3 . with fever ≥38.5 °C and/or infection At any time : Withhold IBRANCE until recovery to Grade ≤2. Resume at the next lower dose . Grade 4 At any time : Withhold IBRANCE until recovery to Grade ≤2. Resume at the next lower dose . Table 3. Dose Modification and Management – Non-Hematologic Toxicities Grading according to CTCAE 4.0. CTCAE=Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. CTCAE Grade Dose Modifications Grade 1 or 2 No dose adjustment is required. Grade ≥3 non-hematologic toxicity (if persisting despite optimal medical treatment) Withhold until symptoms resolve to: • Grade ≤1; • Grade ≤2 (if not considered a safety risk for the patient) Resume at the next lower dose . Permanently discontinue IBRANCE in patients with severe interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for endocrine therapy, inavolisib, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab administered in combination with IBRANCE for dose adjustment guidelines in the event of toxicity and for other relevant safety information or contraindications. Dose Modifications for Use With Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors and consider an alternative concomitant medication with no or minimal CYP3A inhibition. If patients must be coadministered a strong CYP3A inhibitor, reduce the IBRANCE dose to 75 mg once daily. If the strong inhibitor is discontinued, increase the IBRANCE dose (after 3 to 5 half-lives of the inhibitor) to the dose used prior to the initiation of the strong CYP3A inhibitor [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Dose Modifications for Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classes A and B). For patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C), the recommended dose of IBRANCE is 75 mg once daily for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off treatment to comprise a complete cycle of 28 days [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
