Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE XALKORI is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of • adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) or ROS1-positive as detected by an FDA-approved test. ( 1.1 , 2.1 ) • pediatric patients 1 year of age and older and young adults with relapsed or refractory, systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) that is ALK-positive. ( 1.2 , 2.3 ) o Limitations of Use: The safety and efficacy of XALKORI have not been established in older adults with relapsed or refractory, systemic ALK-positive ALCL. • adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with unresectable, recurrent, or refractory inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) that is ALK-positive. ( 1.3 , 2.3 ) 1.1 ALK- or ROS1-Positive Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer XALKORI is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) or ROS1-positive as detected by an FDA-approved test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . 1.2 Relapsed or Refractory, Systemic ALK-Positive Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma XALKORI is indicated for t…
Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Metastatic NSCLC: The recommended dosage is 250 mg orally twice daily. ( 2.3 ) • Systemic ALCL: The recommended dosage is 280 mg/m 2 orally twice daily based on body surface area. ( 2.3 ) • Unresectable IMT: o Adult: The recommended dosage is 250 mg orally twice daily. ( 2.3 ) o Pediatric: The recommended dosage is 280 mg/m 2 orally twice daily based on body surface area. ( 2.3 ) • See full prescribing information for dosage adjustments by indication for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment or severe renal impairment. ( 2.7 , 2.8 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC with XALKORI based on the presence of ALK or ROS1 positivity in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies (14.1 , 14.2 , 14.3) ] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of ALK and ROS1 rearrangements in NSCLC is available at http://www.fda.gov/companiondiagnostics . 2.2 Recommended Testing During Treatment with XALKORI • Monitor liver function tests, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin, every 2 weeks during the first 2 months of treatment, then once a month, and as c…

Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. ( 2.9 , 7.1 ) • Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) • CYP3A Substrates: Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates, where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on XALKORI Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Concomitant use of crizotinib with strong CYP3A inhibitors increases crizotinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of XALKORI. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors. If concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors is unavoidable, reduce the XALKORI dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.9) ] . Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice which may also increase plasma concentrations of crizotinib. Use caution with concomitant use of moderate CYP3A inhibitors. Strong CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of crizotinib with strong CYP3A inducers decreases crizotinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may decrease the efficacy of XALKORI. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers. 7.2 Effect of XALKORI on Other Drugs CYP3A Sub…
