• In patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer, confirm the presence of HER2 protein overexpression and RAS wild-type in tumor specimens prior to the initiation of TUKYSA ( 2.1 ) • Recommended dosage: 300 mg taken orally twice daily with or without food. ( 2.1 ) • For patients with severe hepatic impairment, the recommended dosage is 200 mg orally twice daily. ( 2.3 , 8.7 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for treatment of unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer with TUKYSA based on the presence of: • HER2 overexpression or gene amplification [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]. FDA-approved tests for the detection of HER2 overexpression and gene amplification in patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer are not currently available, and • RAS wild-type [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of RAS mutations in patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics . 2.2 Recommended Dosage Metastatic Breast Cancer The recommended dosage of TUKYSA is 300 mg taken orally twice daily in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Unresectable or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer The recommended dosage of TUKYSA is 300 mg taken orally twice daily in combination with trastuzumab until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]. Advise patients to swallow TUKYSA tablets whole and not to chew, crush, or split prior to swallowing. Advise patients not to ingest tablet if it is broken, cracked, or not otherwise intact. Advise patients to take TUKYSA approximately 12 hours apart and at the same time each day with or without a meal. If the patient vomits or misses a dose of TUKYSA, instruct the patient to take the next dose at its usual scheduled time. When given in combination with TUKYSA, the recommended dosage of capecitabine is 1000 mg/m 2 orally twice daily taken within 30 minutes after a meal. TUKYSA and capecitabine can be taken at the same time. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for trastuzumab and capecitabine for additional information. 2.3 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions The recommended TUKYSA dose reductions and dosage modifications for adverse reactions are provided in Tables 1 and 2. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for trastuzumab and capecitabine for information about dosage modifications for these drugs. Table 1: Recommended TUKYSA Dose Reductions for Adverse Reactions Dose Reduction Recommended TUKYSA Dosage First 250 mg orally twice daily Second 200 mg orally twice daily Third 150 mg orally twice daily Permanently discontinue TUKYSA in patients unable to tolerate 150 mg orally twice daily. Table 2: Recommended TUKYSA Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reaction Grades based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 Severity TUKYSA Dosage Modification Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Grade 3 without anti-diarrheal treatment Initiate or intensify appropriate medical therapy. Hold TUKYSA until recovery to ≤ Grade 1, then resume TUKYSA at the same dose level. Grade 3 with anti-diarrheal treatment Initiate or intensify appropriate medical therapy. Hold TUKYSA until recovery to ≤ Grade 1, then resume TUKYSA at the next lower dose level. Grade 4 Permanently discontinue TUKYSA. Hepatotoxicity Abbreviations: ULN = upper limit of normal; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Grade 2 bilirubin (>1.5 to 3 × ULN) Hold TUKYSA until recovery to ≤ Grade 1, then resume TUKYSA at the same dose level. Grade 3 ALT or AST (> 5 to 20 × ULN) OR Grade 3 bilirubin (> 3 to 10 × ULN) Hold TUKYSA until recovery to ≤ Grade 1, then resume TUKYSA at the next lower dose level. Grade 4 ALT or AST (> 20 × ULN) OR Grade 4 bilirubin (> 1

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.
