Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). ( 1 , 2.1 ) For the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms (MLNs) with FGFR1 rearrangement. ( 1 , 2.1 ) 1.1 Cholangiocarcinoma PEMAZYRE is indicated for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or other rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Continued approval for this indic…

Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of PEMAZYRE. ( 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use.

( 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 )] .
