Ocular Toxicity : PEMAZYRE can cause retinal pigment epithelial detachment. Perform ophthalmological examination including optical coherence tomography (OCT) prior to initiation of therapy, every 2 months for the first 6 months of treatment and every 3 months thereafter, and urgently at any time for visual symptoms. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Hyperphosphatemia and Soft Tissue Mineralization : PEMAZYRE can cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, cutaneous calcification, calcinosis, and non-uremic calciphylaxis. Monitor for hyperphosphatemia and withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue based on duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia. ( 2.3 , 5.2 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 )

5.1 Ocular Toxicity Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment (RPED) PEMAZYRE can cause RPED, which may cause symptoms such as blurred vision, visual floaters, or photopsia. Clinical trials of PEMAZYRE did not conduct routine monitoring including optical coherence tomography (OCT) to detect asymptomatic RPED; therefore, the incidence of asymptomatic RPED with PEMAZYRE is unknown. Among 635 patients who received a starting dose of PEMAZYRE 13.5 mg across clinical trials, RPED occurred in 11% of patients, including Grade 3-4 RPED in 1.3%. The median time to first onset of RPED was 56 days. RPED led to dose interruption of PEMAZYRE in 3.1% of patients, and dose reduction and permanent discontinuation in 1.3% and in 0.2% of patients, respectively. RPED resolved or improved to Grade 1 levels in 76% of patients who required dosage modification of PEMAZYRE for RPED. Perform a comprehensive ophthalmological examination including OCT prior to initiation of PEMAZYRE and every 2 months for the first 6 months and every 3 months thereafter during treatment. For onset of visual symptoms, refer patients for ophthalmologic evaluation urgently, with follow-up every 3 weeks until resolution or discontinuation of PEMAZYRE. Modify the dose or permanently discontinue PEMAZYRE as recommended [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . Dry Eye Among 635 patients who received a starting dose of PEMAZYRE 13.5 mg across clinical trials, dry eye occurred in 31% of patients, including Grade 3-4 in 1.6% of patients. Treat patients with ocular demulcents as needed.

5.2 Hyperphosphatemia and Soft Tissue Mineralization PEMAZYRE can cause hyperphosphatemia leading to soft tissue mineralization, cutaneous calcification, calcinosis, and non-uremic calciphylaxis. Increases in phosphate levels are a pharmacodynamic effect of PEMAZYRE [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Among 635 patients who received a starting dose of PEMAZYRE 13.5 mg across clinical trials, hyperphosphatemia was reported in 93% of patients based on laboratory values above the upper limit of normal. The median time to onset of hyperphosphatemia was 8 days (range 1-169). Phosphate lowering therapy was required in 33% of patients receiving PEMAZYRE. Monitor for hyperphosphatemia and initiate a low phosphate diet when serum phosphate level is > 5.5 mg/dL. For serum phosphate levels > 7 mg/dL, initiate phosphate lowering therapy and withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue PEMAZYRE based on duration and severity of hyperphosphatemia [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )].

5.3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in an animal study and its mechanism of action, PEMAZYRE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of pemigatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused fetal malformations, fetal growth retardation, and embryo-fetal death at maternal exposures lower than the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 13.5 mg. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PEMAZYRE and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PEMAZYRE and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )] .

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflects exposure to PEMAZYRE at a starting dose of 13.5 mg orally once daily (intermittent or continuous administration) in 635 patients with advanced malignancies. Among the 635 patients, 31% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 11% were exposed greater than one year, including patients with previously treated, advanced, or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma in FIGHT-202 and patients with MLNs with FGFR1 rearrangement in FIGHT-203. Cholangiocarcinoma FIGHT-202 The safety of PEMAZYRE was evaluated in FIGHT-202, which included 146 patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Patients were treated orally with PEMAZYRE 13.5 mg once daily for 14 days on followed by 7 days off therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment was 181 days (range: 7 to 730 days). The median age of PEMAZYRE-treated patients was 59 years (range 26-78), 58% were females, and 71% were White. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients receiving PEMAZYRE. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients who received PEMAZYRE included abdominal pain, pyrexia, cholangitis, pleural effusion, acute kidney injury, cholangitis infective, failure to thrive, hypercalcemia, hyponatremia, small intestinal obstruction, and urinary tract infection. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.1% of patients, including failure to thrive, bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, sepsis, and pleural effusion. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients who received PEMAZYRE. Adverse reactions requiring permanent discontinuation in ≥ 1% of patients included intestinal obstruction and acute kidney injury. Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 43% of patients who received PEMAZYRE. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in ≥ 1% of patients included stomatitis, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, arthralgia, fatigue, abdominal pain, AST increased, asthenia, pyrexia, ALT increased, cholangitis, small intestinal obstruction, alkaline phosphatase increased, diarrhea, hyperbilirubinemia, electrocardiogram QT prolonged, decreased appetite, dehydration, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypophosphatemia, back pain, pain in extremity, syncope, acute kidney injury, onychomadesis, and hypotension. Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 14% of patients who received PEMAZYRE. Adverse reactions requiring dosage reductions in ≥ 1% of patients who received PEMAZYRE included stomatitis, arthralgia, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, asthenia, and onychomadesis.

Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of PEMAZYRE. ( 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, reduce PEMAZYRE dosage. ( 2.4 , 7.1 )

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on PEMAZYRE Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of PEMAZYRE with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases pemigatinib plasma concentrations [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may reduce the efficacy of PEMAZYRE. Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inducers with PEMAZYRE. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Concomitant use of a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor with PEMAZYRE increases pemigatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions. Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors with PEMAZYRE. Reduce PEMAZYRE dosage if concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] .

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in an animal study and its mechanism of action, PEMAZYRE can cause fetal harm or loss of pregnancy when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are no available data on the use of PEMAZYRE in pregnant women. Oral administration of pemigatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at maternal plasma exposures below the human exposure at the clinical dose of 13.5 mg resulted in fetal malformations, fetal growth retardation, and embryo-fetal death (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 Once daily oral administration of pemigatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in 100% embryofetal mortality due to post-implantation loss at doses ≥ 0.3 mg/kg (approximately 0.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 13.5 mg). Fetal survival was unaffected at 0.1 mg/kg per day; however, once daily oral administration of pemigatinib at the 0.1 mg/kg dose level (approximately 0.2 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 13.5 mg) resulted in reduced mean fetal body weight and an increase in fetal skeletal and visceral malformations, major blood vessel variations, and reduced ossification.

8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of pemigatinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on either the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children from PEMAZYRE, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential PEMAZYRE can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating PEMAZYRE [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PEMAZYRE and for 1 week after the last dose. Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PEMAZYRE and for 1 week after the last dose.

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of PEMAZYRE have not been established in pediatric patients. Animal Toxicity Data In 4- or 13-week repeat-dose toxicology studies in rats and non-human primates, animals displayed toxicities in bone and teeth at pemigatinib exposures lower than the human exposure at the clinical dose of 13.5 mg. Physeal and cartilage dysplasia were present in multiple bones in both species, and tooth (incisor) abnormalities (complete loss of ameloblasts with associated secondary changes) occurred in rats. Six weeks after cessation of dosing, these findings did not show complete evidence of recovery, and additional tooth-related findings (mal-aligned, whitened, broken, and trimmed/thinned incisors) developed in the 13-week study.

8.5 Geriatric Use In FIGHT-202 in patients with cholangiocarcinoma, 32% of patients were 65 years and older, and 8% of patients were 75 years and older. In FIGHT-203 in patients with MLN with FGFR1 rearrangement, 44% of patients were 65 years and older, and 2.9% of patients were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

8.6 Renal Impairment Reduce the recommended dosage of PEMAZYRE for patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , estimated by MDRD equation) [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with end-stage renal disease (eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) who are receiving intermittent hemodialysis [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

8.7 Hepatic Impairment Reduce the recommended dosage of PEMAZYRE for patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 × ULN with any AST) [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin > upper limit of normal [ULN] to 1.5 × ULN or AST > ULN) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5–3 × ULN with any AST) hepatic impairment [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].

Pemigatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor that targets FGFR1, 2 and 3 with IC 50 values of less than 2 nM. Pemigatinib also inhibited FGFR4 in vitro at a concentration approximately 100 times higher than those that inhibit FGFR1, 2, and 3. Pemigatinib inhibited FGFR1-3 phosphorylation and signaling and decreased cell viability in cancer cell lines with activating FGFR amplifications and fusions that resulted in constitutive activation of FGFR signaling. Constitutive FGFR signaling can support the proliferation and survival of malignant cells. Pemigatinib exhibited anti-tumor activity in mouse xenograft models of human tumors with FGFR1, FGFR2, or FGFR3 alterations resulting in constitutive FGFR activation including a patient-derived xenograft model of cholangiocarcinoma that expressed an oncogenic FGFR2-Transformer-2 beta homolog (TRA2b) fusion protein and the KG1 leukemia model that carries a translocation of FGFR1 (FGFR1OP2-FGFR1).
