1. What is LUMYKRAS and what is it used for

LUMYKRAS contains the active substance sotorasib and belongs to a group of medicines called antineoplastic agents (cancer medicines).

LUMYKRAS is used to treat adult patients with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is advanced and has spread to other parts of the body.

LUMYKRAS is used when previous treatments have not been effective in stopping the growth of the cancer and if the cancer cells have a genetic modification that allows them to produce an abnormal form of a protein called KRAS G12C. Your doctor will check beforehand if your type of cancer cells have this modification to make sure that LUMYKRAS is suitable for you.

How does LUMYKRAS work?

The abnormal KRAS G12Cprotein contributes to the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. LUMYKRAS binds to the protein and stops its function. This can slow down or stop the growth of the cancer.

If you have any questions about how LUMYKRAS works or why you have been prescribed this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

2. What you need to know before you take LUMYKRAS

Do not take LUMYKRAS

  • if you are allergic to sotorasib or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before you start taking LUMYKRAS.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you have a history of liver problems. Your doctor may perform blood tests to check how your liver is working and may decide to reduce the dose of LUMYKRAS or stop treatment.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had other lung problems. Some lung complications may worsen during treatment with LUMYKRAS, as it can cause inflammation of the lungs during treatment. The symptoms can be similar to those of lung cancer. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any new symptoms or if any symptoms worsen, including difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, cough with or without mucus, or fever.

Children and adolescents

LUMYKRAS has not been studied in children or adolescents. Treatment with LUMYKRAS is not recommended in patients under 18 years of age.

Other medicines and LUMYKRAS

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those that can be bought without a prescription, vitamins, and herbal supplements. This is because LUMYKRAS may affect how some medicines work and vice versa.

LUMYKRAS may reduce the effectiveness of the following medicines:

  • Medicines to treat acute pain, such as alfentanil or fentanyl
  • Medicines used in organ transplants to prevent organ rejection, such as cyclosporine, sirolimus, everolimus, or tacrolimus
  • Medicines used to lower high blood pressure, such as amlodipine or manidipine
  • Medicines used to lower cholesterol levels, such as simvastatin, atorvastatin, or lovastatin
  • Midazolam (used to treat acute seizures or as a sedative before or during surgery or medical procedures)
  • Medicines used to treat heart rhythm problems, such as dronedarone or amiodarone
  • Medicines called anticoagulants that prevent blood clotting, such as rivaroxaban or apixaban

  • Medicines used to treat certain cancers or inflammatory diseases, such as methotrexate, mitoxantrone, topotecan, or lapatinib
  • Medicines used to treat heart failure, such as digoxin
  • Medicines used to lower cholesterol levels, such as rosuvastatin

Contraception

If you are taking LUMYKRAS while taking oral contraceptives, they may not be effective. You should also use another reliable method of contraception, such as a barrier method (e.g., condom), to avoid becoming pregnant while taking this medicine. Talk to your doctor about the appropriate methods of contraception for you and your partner.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding, and fertility

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

You should not become pregnant while taking this medicine, as the effects of LUMYKRAS on pregnant women are not known and it may harm the baby. If you are a woman of childbearing potential, you should use highly effective contraceptive methods during treatment and for at least 7 days after stopping treatment.

Breast-feeding

Do not breast-feed during treatment with this medicine and for 7 days after the last dose. This is because it is not known whether the components of LUMYKRAS pass into breast milk and may harm the baby.

LUMYKRAS has no significant influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

LUMYKRAS contains lactose

If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, consult them before taking this medicine.

LUMYKRAS contains sodium

3. How to take LUMYKRAS

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not change the dose of LUMYKRAS or stop taking it unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to. Your doctor or pharmacist may reduce the dose or stop treatment based on how you tolerate it.

  • The recommended dose is 960 mg (eight 120 mg tablets or four 240 mg tablets) once a day. You should take your daily dose of LUMYKRAS orally once a day, always at the same time.
  • LUMYKRAS can be taken with or without food.
  • Swallow the tablets whole. You can disperse the tablets in water, but do not chew, crush, or divide them.
  • If you cannot swallow the LUMYKRAS tablets whole:
  • Put the daily dose of LUMYKRAS in half a glass (at least 120 ml) of water at room temperature without crushing the tablets. Do not use any other liquid, including acidic beverages (e.g., fruit juice).
  • Stir carefully until the tablets break into small pieces (they will not dissolve completely). The mixture will have a pale to bright yellow color.
  • Drink the mixture immediately.
  • Rinse the glass with water again and drink it immediately to make sure you take the full dose of LUMYKRAS.
  • If you do not drink the entire mixture immediately, stir it again before finishing it. Drink the entire mixture before 2 hours after preparation.
  • If necessary, your doctor may recommend that you be given LUMYKRAS through a feeding tube.

If you need to take any medicine to reduce stomach acid, such as a proton pump inhibitor or an H2 receptor antagonist, take LUMYKRAS with an acidic drink (such as cola). Alternatively, you can take a local antacid (such as magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate) and, in that case, you should take LUMYKRAS 4 hours before or 10 hours after taking the antacid (see section 2).

If you take more LUMYKRAS than you should

If you take more tablets than recommended, contact your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse immediately.

If you vomit after taking LUMYKRAS

If you vomit after taking a dose of LUMYKRAS, do not take an additional dose. Take the next dose at the usual time.

If you forget to take LUMYKRAS

If you have forgotten to take a dose of LUMYKRAS at the usual time and it has been less than 6 hours, take the normal dose. If it has been more than 6 hours since the usual time of the dose, do not take it. Take the next dose at the usual time the next day.
