Warnings & Precautions
• Diarrhea : Severe diarrhea, including dehydration, acute kidney injury, and death, has been reported. Administer antidiarrheal treatment as clinically indicated. Interrupt dose, then dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TUKYSA based on severity. ( 2.2 , 5.1 ) • Hepatotoxicity : Severe hepatotoxicity has been reported on TUKYSA. Monitor ALT, AST and bilirubin prior to starting TUKYSA, every 3 weeks during treatment and as clinically indicated. Interrupt dose, then dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TUKYSA based on severity. ( 2.2 , 5.2 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : TUKYSA can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Also, refer to the Full Prescribing Information of trastuzumab and capecitabine for pregnancy and contraception information.

Diarrhea TUKYSA can cause severe diarrhea including dehydration, hypotension, acute kidney injury, and death [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . If diarrhea occurs, administer antidiarrheal treatment as clinically indicated. Perform diagnostic tests as clinically indicated to exclude other causes of diarrhea. Based on the severity of the diarrhea, interrupt dose, then dose reduce or permanently discontinue TUKYSA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . TUKYSA with trastuzumab and capecitabine In HER2CLIMB, 81% of patients who received TUKYSA experienced diarrhea, including 0.5% with Grade 4 diarrhea and 12% with Grade 3 diarrhea. Both patients who developed Grade 4 diarrhea subsequently died, with diarrhea as a contributor to death. The median time to onset of the first episode of diarrhea was 12 days and the median time to resolution was 8 days. Diarrhea led to dose reductions of TUKYSA in 6% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 1% of patients. Prophylactic use of antidiarrheal treatment was not required on HER2CLIMB. TUKYSA with trastuzumab In MOUNTAINEER, diarrhea occurred in 64% of patients, including Grade 3 (3.5%), Grade 2 (10%), and Grade 1 (50%).

Hepatotoxicity TUKYSA can cause severe hepatotoxicity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Monitor ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to starting TUKYSA, every 3 weeks during treatment, and as clinically indicated. Based on the severity of hepatotoxicity, interrupt dose, then dose reduce or permanently discontinue TUKYSA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . TUKYSA with trastuzumab and capecitabine In HER2CLIMB, 8% of patients who received TUKYSA had an ALT increase > 5 × ULN, 6% had an AST increase > 5 × ULN, and 1.5% had a bilirubin increase > 3 × ULN (Grade ≥3). Hepatotoxicity led to dose reduction of TUKYSA in 8% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 1.5% of patients. TUKYSA with trastuzumab In MOUNTAINEER, 6% of patients had a bilirubin increase > 3 × ULN (Grade ≥3), 6% had an AST increase > 5 × ULN, and 4.7% had an ALT increase > 5 × ULN. Hepatotoxicity led to dose reduction of TUKYSA in 3.5% of patients and discontinuation of TUKYSA in 2.3% of patients.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its me
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, TUKYSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of tucatinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal mortality, reduced fetal weight and fetal abnormalities at maternal exposures ≥ 1.3 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TUKYSA and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 )] . TUKYSA is used in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of trastuzumab and capecitabine for pregnancy and contraception information.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Lactation
The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during tucatinib therapy and for 1 week after the last dose.
