How it works

Zidesamtinib is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase ROS1, including ROS1 resistance mutations. In a biochemical assay, zidesamtinib inhibited ROS1 (IC 50 = 0.7 nM) and also showed inhibitory effects on ALK (IC 50 = 3 nM) and tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRKs), TRKB (IC 50 = 54 nM), TRKC (IC 50 = 193 nM) and TRKA (IC 50 = 258 nM). In vitro, zidesamtinib inhibited the viability of cultured cells expressing ROS1 fusion genes and resistance mutations (G2032R, S1986F, F2004C/V, L2026M, D2033N, and G2101A). In mice subcutaneously implanted with tumors harboring ROS1 fusions, including the G2032R mutation, administration of zidesamtinib resulted in tumor growth inhibition. Zidesamtinib had antitumor activity in an intracranial NSCLC xenograft model harboring a ROS1 fusion.

Dosing overview

Recommended Dosage: 100 mg orally once daily with or without food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Recommended Testing and Evaluation Before Initiating JIDEYTRO Before initiating JIDEYTRO, evaluate creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level, electrocardiogram (ECG), electrolytes, lipase and amylase. Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of JIDEYTRO is 100 mg taken orally once daily, with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Swallow JIDEYTRO tablets whole. Do not split, chew, crush, or dissolve the tablet prior to swallowing. Missed Dose If a dose of JIDEYTRO is missed within 12 hours of the regularly scheduled dose, administer the missed dose as soon as possible. If a dose is missed by 12 hours or more, take the next dose at its scheduled time.

Warnings and precautions

Central Nervous System (CNS) Adverse Reactions (AR): Can cause CNS AR including dizziness, ataxia, cognitive and psychiatric disorders. Based on severity, withhold JIDEYTRO and resume at same or reduced dose, or permanently discontinue. QTc Interval Prolongation: Can cause QTc prolongation. Evaluate ECGs and electrolytes prior to administration of JIDEYTRO and monitor periodically during treatment. Based on severity, withhold JIDEYTRO and resume at the same or reduced dose, or permanently discontinue. Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/pneumonitis: Can cause ILD/pneumonitis. Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Immediately withhold in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis. Skeletal Fractures: Can cause skeletal fractures. Promptly evaluate patients with signs or symptoms of fractures.

Interactions

Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. Effects of Other Drugs on JIDEYTRO Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of JIDEYTRO with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor. Zidesamtinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases zidesamtinib exposure, which may increase the risk of JIDEYTRO adverse reactions. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use of JIDEYTRO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Concomitant use of JIDEYTRO with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer may decrease zidesamtinib exposure, which may decrease the effectiveness of JIDEYTRO.

Storage

Store JIDEYTRO at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
