Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception. ( 5.3 , 7.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Potential Risks Associated with a High-Fat Meal : May increase incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity. Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat). ( 2.1 , 5.4 )

5.1 Hepatotoxicity TURALIO can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury and is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Hepatotoxicity, including liver failure and life-threatening vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS), ductopenia, and symptomatic cholestasis (including severe pruritus) can occur in patients treated with TURALIO and can occur despite monitoring and prompt drug cessation. The mechanism of cholestatic hepatotoxicity is unknown and its occurrence cannot be predicted. It is unknown whether liver injury can also occur in the absence of increased transaminases. Of the first 609 patients who received TURALIO under the REMS program, 32 (5.3%) developed a liver injury event of concern (LIEC), defined as any serious liver-related outcome or any liver abnormality that triggers drug discontinuation per the US Prescribing Information [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. These 32 patients developed liver toxicity within 71 days of the first dose of TURALIO; ten required hospitalization, and two developed VBDS. Sixteen of the 32 patients had not fully recovered at the time of the analysis, including 6 patients followed for at least 6 months after discontinuation. Among 768 patients who received TURALIO in clinical trials, there were two irreversible cases of cholestatic liver injury. One patient with advanced cancer and ongoing liver toxicity died and one patient with a confirmed case of VBDS required a liver transplant. In ENLIVEN, 3 of 61 (5%) patients who received TURALIO developed signs of serious liver injury, defined as ALT or AST ≥3 × ULN with total bilirubin ≥2 × ULN. In these patients, peak ALT ranged from 6 to 9 × ULN, peak total bilirubin ranged from 2.5 to 15 × ULN, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was ≥2 × ULN. ALT, AST, and total bilirubin improved to <2 × ULN in these three patients 1 to 7 months after discontinuing TURALIO. Avoid TURALIO in patients with pre-existing increased serum transaminases; total bilirubin or direct bilirubin (>ULN); or active liver or biliary tract disease, including increased ALP. Monitor liver tests, including AST, ALT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALP, and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) prior to initiation of TURALIO, weekly for the first 8 weeks, every 2 weeks for the next month and every 3 months thereafter. Withhold and dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TURALIO based on the severity of the hepatotoxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Refer patients to a hepatologist if liver tests do not return to normal. Rechallenge with a reduced dose of TURALIO may result in a recurrence of increased serum transaminases, bilirubin, ALP., or other signs of liver injury. Monitor liver tests weekly for the first month after rechallenge. 5.2 TURALIO REMS Program TURALIO is only available through a restricted program under a REMS, because of the risk of hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Notable requirements of the TURALIO REMS Program include the following: Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training. Patients must complete and sign an enrollment form for inclusion in a patient registry. Pharmacies must be certified with the program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive TURALIO. Further information is available at www.TURALIOREMS.com or 1-833-887-2546.

5.3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on animal studies and its mechanism of action, TURALIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Oral administration of pexidartinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations, increased post-implantation loss, and abortion at exposures approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose based on area under the curve (AUC). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception, since TURALIO can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective, during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 month after the final dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 week after the final dose [see Drug Interactions (7.3) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .

5.4 Potential Risks Associated with a High-Fat Meal Taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal increases pexidartinib concentrations, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2 , 12.3) ]. Instruct patients to take TURALIO with a low-fat meal (approximately 11 to 14 grams of total fat) and to avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat). Consider referring patients to a dietician as deemed necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Drug Interactions (7.2) ].

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Most common adverse reactions (>20%) were increased lactate dehydrogenase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, hair color changes, fatigue, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased neutrophils, increased cholesterol, increased alkaline phosphatase, decreased lymphocytes, eye edema, decreased hemoglobin, rash, dysgeusia, and decreased phosphate.

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 safety of TURALIO 250 mg orally twice daily administered with a low-fat meal has been established based on adequate and well-controlled studies of TURALIO 400 mg orally twice daily administered on an empty stomach and additional pharmacokinetic data that indicate there is no clinically significant difference in the relative exposure between the two dosages [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. The safety of TURALIO was evaluated in ENLIVEN [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . ENLIVEN excluded patients with ALT, AST, or total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN; and known active or chronic infection with hepatitis B or C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus. Patients received TURALIO without food at a dose of 400 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the evening orally for 2 weeks followed by 400 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity . Seventy-nine percent of patients received TURALIO for 6 months or longer and 66% for greater than one year. The median age of TURALIO-treated patients was 44 years (range: 22-75), 57% were females, and 85% were White. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 13% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent (occurring in >1 patient) serious adverse reactions included abnormal liver tests (3.3%) and hepatotoxicity (3.3%). Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 13% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent adverse reactions (occurring in >1 patient) requiring permanent discontinuation included increased ALT (4.9%), increased AST (4.9%) and hepatotoxicity (3.3%). Dose reductions or interruptions occurred in 38% of patients who received TURALIO. Most frequent adverse reactions (occurring in >1 patient) requiring a dosage reduction or interruption were increased ALT (13%), increased AST (13%), nausea (8%), increased ALP (7%), vomiting (4.9%), increased bilirubin (3.3%), increased GGT (3.3%), dizziness (3.3%), and abdominal pain (3.3%). The most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, in patients who received TURALIO were: increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), increased AST, hair color changes, fatigue, increased ALT, decreased neutrophils, increased cholesterol, increased ALP, decreased lymphocytes, eye edema, decreased hemoglobin, rash, dysgeusia, and decreased phosphate. Tables 4, 5, and 6 summarize the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities in ENLIVEN during the randomized phase (Week 25).

6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of TURALIO. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Investigations: Blood creatine phosphokinase increased

Use with Hepatotoxic Products : Avoid coadministration of TURALIO with other products known to cause hepatotoxicity. ( 7.1 ) Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inhibitors : Reduce the dose of TURALIO if concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors cannot be avoided. ( 2.3 , 7.2 ) Strong CYP3A Inducers : Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers. ( 7.2 ) UGT Inhibitors : Reduce the dose of TURALIO if concomitant use of UGT inhibitors cannot be avoided. ( 2.3 , 7.2 ) Acid-Reducing Agents : Avoid concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors. Use histamine-2 receptor antagonists or antacids if needed. ( 2.4 , 7.2 ) High-Fat Meal : Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal. ( 2.1 , 5.4 , 7.2 ). CYP3A Substrates : Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious therapeutic failure. ( 7.3 )

7.1 Use with Hepatotoxic Products TURALIO can cause hepatotoxicity. In patients with increased serum transaminases, total bilirubin, or direct bilirubin (>ULN) or active liver or biliary tract disease, avoid coadministration of TURALIO with other products known to cause hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

7.2 Effect of Other Drugs or Food on TURALIO Table 7: Effect of Other Drugs or Food on TURALIO Moderate or Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitor may increase pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of TURALIO. Management Reduce TURALIO dosage if concomitant use of moderate or strong CYP3A inhibitors, including grapefruit or grapefruit juice, cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. Strong CYP3A Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a strong CYP3A inducer decreases pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may decrease the efficacy of TURALIO. Management Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers, including St John's wort. UGT Inhibitors Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a UGT inhibitor increases pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of TURALIO. Management Reduce TURALIO dosage if concomitant use of UGT inhibitors cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. Acid-Reducing Agents Clinical Impact Concomitant use of a PPI decreases pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may decrease the efficacy of TURALIO. Management Avoid concomitant use of PPIs with TURALIO. As an alternative to PPIs, use locally-acting antacids or H 2 -receptor antagonists [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . High-Fat Meal Clinical Impact Taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal increased pexidartinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the incidence and severity of TURALIO adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.4) ]. Management Take TURALIO with a low-fat meal (approximately 11 to 14 grams of total fat) . Avoid taking TURALIO with a high-fat meal (approximately 55 to 65 grams of total fat) [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] .

7.3 Effect of TURALIO on Other Drugs Table 8: Effect of TURALIO on Other Drugs CYP3A Substrates Clinical Impact TURALIO is a moderate CYP3A inducer. Concomitant use of TURALIO decreases the concentration of CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of these substrates . Management Avoid coadministration of TURALIO with hormonal contraceptives [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ]. Avoid concomitant use of TURALIO with other CYP3A substrates, where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious therapeutic failures. If concomitant use is unavoidable, increase the CYP3A substrate dosage in accordance with approved product labeling.

Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) Renal Impairment : Reduce the dosage for patients with mild to severe renal impairment. ( 2.5 , 8.6 ) Hepatic Impairment : Reduce the dosage for patients with moderate hepatic impairment. ( 2.6 , 8.7 )

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , TURALIO may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The available human data do not establish the presence or absence of major birth defects or miscarriage related to the use of TURALIO. Oral administration of pexidartinib to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations, post-implantation loss, and abortion at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose (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 Embryo-fetal development studies investigating the administration of pexidartinib during the period of organogenesis were conducted in rats and rabbits. In rats, pexidartinib resulted in increased post-implantation loss and fetal malformations including localized fetal edema, absence of kidney and ureter, abnormalities of the reproductive tract, and developmental variations including misshapen kidney, decreased skeletal ossification and higher mean litter proportions of slightly or moderately malaligned sternebrae at doses of 40 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose). In rabbits, administration of pexidartinib resulted in increased post-implantation loss, abortion, and fetal malformations including absence of kidney or ureter, rudimentary, misshapen or malpositioned kidney, rib abnormalities, and skeletal variations of accessory skull bones at doses of 60 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure at the recommended dose).

8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of pexidartinib or its metabolites in either human or animal milk or its effects on a breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with TURALIO and for at least 1 week after the final dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential TURALIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of TURALIO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 month after the final dose. Counsel patients to use non-hormonal method(s) of contraception, since TURALIO can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective [see Drug Interactions (7.3) , Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TURALIO and for 1 week after the final dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Infertility Based on findings from animal studies, TURALIO may impair both male and female fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ].

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of TURALIO in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of TURALIO did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

8.6 Renal Impairment Reduce the dosage when administering TURALIO to patients with mild to severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault [C-G]) [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

8.7 Hepatic Impairment No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] with AST > ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 × ULN with any AST) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Reduce the dosage of TURALIO for patients with moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 × ULN, not due to Gilbert's syndrome, with any AST) [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . TURALIO has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 to 10 × ULN and any AST).

Pexidartinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) harboring an internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation. Overexpression of the CSF1R ligand promotes cell proliferation and accumulation in the synovium. In vitro, pexidartinib inhibited proliferation of cell lines dependent on CSF1R and ligand-induced autophosphorylation of CSF1R. Pexidartinib also inhibited the proliferation of a CSF1R dependent cell line in vivo.
