The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflects exposure to PEMAZYRE at a starting dose of 13.5 mg orally once daily (intermittent or continuous administration) in 635 patients with advanced malignancies. Among the 635 patients, 31% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 11% were exposed greater than one year, including patients with previously treated, advanced, or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma in FIGHT-202 and patients with MLNs with FGFR1 rearrangement in FIGHT-203. Cholangiocarcinoma FIGHT-202 The safety of PEMAZYRE was evaluated in FIGHT-202, which included 146 patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Patients were treated orally with PEMAZYRE 13.5 mg once daily for 14 days on followed by 7 days off therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment was 181 days (range: 7 to 730 days). The median age of PEMAZYRE-treated patients was 59 years (range 26-78), 58% were females, and 71% were White. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients receiving PEMAZYRE. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients who received PEMAZYRE included abdominal pain, pyrexia, cholangitis, pleural effusion, acute kidney injury, cholangitis infective, failure to thrive, hypercalcemia, hyponatremia, small intestinal obstruction, and urinary tract infection. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.1% of patients, including failure to thrive, bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, sepsis, and pleural effusion. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients who received PEMAZYRE. Adverse reactions requiring permanent discontinuation in ≥ 1% of patients included intestinal obstruction and acute kidney injury. Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 43% of patients who received PEMAZYRE. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in ≥ 1% of patients included stomatitis, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, arthralgia, fatigue, abdominal pain, AST increased, asthenia, pyrexia, ALT increased, cholangitis, small intestinal obstruction, alkaline phosphatase increased, diarrhea, hyperbilirubinemia, electrocardiogram QT prolonged, decreased appetite, dehydration, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypophosphatemia, back pain, pain in extremity, syncope, acute kidney injury, onychomadesis, and hypotension. Dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 14% of patients who received PEMAZYRE. Adverse reactions requiring dosage reductions in ≥ 1% of patients who received PEMAZYRE included stomatitis, arthralgia, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, asthenia, and onychomadesis.

In all patients treated with pemigatinib, 0.5% experienced pathologic fractures (which included patients with and without cholangiocarcinoma [N=635]). Soft tissue mineralization, including cutaneous calcification, calcinosis, and non-uremic calciphylaxis associated with hyperphosphatemia were observed with PEMAZYRE treatment.

Consider alternative markers of renal function if persistent elevations in serum creatinine are observed [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasms with FGFR1 Rearrangement FIGHT-203 The safety of PEMAZYRE was evaluated in FIGHT-203, which included 34 patients who were treated for MLN with FGFR1 rearrangement [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Patients were treated with PEMAZYRE 13.5 mg once daily on a continuous schedule (the approved recommended starting dosage) or for 14 days on followed by 7 days off therapy (an unapproved dosage regimen in MLN with FGFR1 rearrangement) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or they were able to receive allogeneic stem cell transplant. The median duration of treatment was 205 days (range: 30-1347 days). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 53% of patients receiving PEMAZYRE at all dosages. Serious adverse reactions in > 5% of patients included acute kidney injury. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 9% of patients who received PEMAZYRE, including acute kidney injury, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and malignant neoplasm progression, occurring in one patient each. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 12% of patients who received PEMAZYRE at all dosages. Adverse reactions requiring permanent discontinuation included cardiac failure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, blood alkaline phosphatase increase, and calciphylaxis. In patients who started treatment on the recommended dosage (n = 20), adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption of PEMAZYRE occurred in 80% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in > 2 patients treated at the recommended dosage included nail toxicities (20%) and hyperphosphatemia (15%). Dose reductions of PEMAZYRE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 80% of patients who started treatment on the recommended dosage. Adverse reactions requiring dose reductions occurring in > 2 patients were nail toxicities (20%), hyperphosphatemia (20%), and alopecia (15%). The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions were hyperphosphatemia, nail toxicity, alopecia, stomatitis, diarrhea, dry eye, fatigue, rash, abdominal pain, anemia, constipation, dry mouth, epistaxis, serous retinal detachment, extremity pain, decreased appetite, dry skin, dyspepsia, back pain, nausea, blurred vision, peripheral edema, and dizziness. The most common (≥ 20%) laboratory abnormalities were increased phosphate, decreased lymphocytes, decreased leukocytes, increased alkaline phosphatase, decreased hemoglobin, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, decreased neutrophils, increased creatinine, decreased phosphate, decreased sodium, increased glucose, decreased platelets, decreased calcium, increased calcium, decreased potassium, and increased bilirubin.
