Continued approval for this indic

Dosage & Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Select patients for treatment with RETEVMO based on the presence of a RET gene fusion (NSCLC, thyroid, or other solid tumors) or specific RET gene mutation (MTC). ( 2.1 , 14 ) Adult and adolescent patients 12 years of age or older : the recommended dosage is based on weight ( 2.3 ): Less than 50 kg: 120 mg orally twice daily 50 kg or greater: 160 mg orally twice daily Pediatric patients 2 to less than 12 years of age: the recommended dosage is based on body surface area ( 2.3 ): 0.33 m 2 to 0.65 m 2 : 40 mg orally three times daily 0.66 m 2 to 1.08 m 2 : 80 mg orally twice daily 1.09 m 2 to 1.52 m 2 : 120 mg orally twice daily ≥1.53 m 2 : 160 mg orally twice daily For patients who cannot swallow, disperse 40 mg RETEVMO tablets and administer orally or via gastrostomy or nasogastric tube ( 2.8 ) Only RETEVMO 40 mg tablets may be used to create the dispersion ( 2.2 ) Reduce RETEVMO dose in patients with severe hepatic impairment. ( 2.7 , 8.7 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for treatment with RETEVMO based on the presence of a RET gene fusion (NSCLC, thyroid cancer, or other solid tumors) or specific RET gene mutation (MTC) in tumor specimens [see C

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Acid-Reducing Agents: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, take RETEVMO with food (with PPI) or modify its administration time (with H2 receptor antagonist or locally-acting antacid). ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the RETEVMO dose. ( 2.6 , 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid coadministration. ( 7.1 ) CYP2C8 and CYP3A Substrates: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, modify the substrate dosage as recommended in its product labeling. ( 7.2 ) Certain P-gp and BCRP Substrates: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, modify the substrate dosage as recommended in its product labeling. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on RETEVMO Acid-Reducing Agents Concomitant use of RETEVMO with acid-reducing agents decreases selpercatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce RETEVMO anti-tumor activity. Avoid concomitant use of PPIs, H2 receptor antagonists, and locally-acting antacids with RETEVMO. If coadministration cannot be avoided, take RETEVMO with food (wit
