Generic (Repotrectinib) REPODX

About Repotrectinib

Repotrectinib is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. It is taken by mouth. Repotrectinib is an inhibitor of proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS1 (ROS1) and of the tropomyosin receptor tyrosine kinases (TRKs) TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC.

Indicated for locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

160 mg PO qDay for 14 days, then increase to 160 mg PO BID

Continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

NTRK Fusion-Positive Solid Tumors

Indicated for locally advanced, metastatic, or inoperable (surgical resection likely to result in severe morbidity) solid tumors with a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion that have progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative treatment options

160 mg PO qDay for 14 days, then increase to 160 mg PO BID

Continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Dosing Considerations

Before initiating

• Discontinue strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors for 3-5 half-lives of CYP3A4 inhibitor
• Evaluate liver function tests and uric acid levels
• Verify pregnancy status of females of childbearing potential before initiating

Patient selection

• NSCLC

  • Verify presence of ROS1 rearrangements in tumor specimens

• Other solid tumors

  • Verify presence of NTRK1/2/3 rearrangements in tumor specimens
  • Consider treatment without confirmation of NTRK1/2/3 rearrangements in patients with secretory breast cancer or mammary analogue secretory cancer
