  • Keep this prospect, as you may need to read it again.

  • This medicine has been prescribed only for you, and you must not give it to other people, even if they have the same symptoms as you, as it may harm them.

1. What is Lytgobi and what is it used for

Lytgobi contains the active ingredient futibatinib, which belongs to a group of cancer medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It blocks the action of a cell protein called the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), which helps regulate cell growth. Cancer cells may have an abnormal form of this protein.

By blocking the FGFR, futibatinib may prevent the growth of cancer cells.

Lytgobi is used alone (in monotherapy) to treat adults with bile duct cancer (also known as cholangiocarcinoma) that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery in patients who have already received previous treatment, and whose tumor has a specific type of "FGFR" anomaly.

2. What you need to know before starting Lytgobi

Do not take Lytgobiif you are allergic to futibatinib or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Lytgobi if:

  • you have been told that you have high levels of phosphate in your blood (a condition known as hyperphosphatemia) according to the result of a blood test
  • you have visual or eye problems, such as problems in the retina (layers of sensitive nerve tissue located at the back of the eye)

It is recommended to perform eye examinations:

  • before starting treatment with Lytgobi
  • 6 weeks later or at any time if visual or eye problems occur.

Lytgobi may cause serous retinal detachment (the retina detaches from its normal position). Symptoms include blurry vision, flashes of light in the field of vision (photopsia) and small dark shapes moving in the field of vision (floaters). Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any vision problems.

Lytgobi may cause high levels of phosphate in the blood and lead to the accumulation of minerals such as calcium in different tissues of the body. Your doctor may prescribe changes in diet, a phosphate-reducing treatment or a change or discontinuation of Lytgobi treatment as needed. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience painful skin lesions, any muscle cramps, numbness or tingling around the mouth or abnormal heart rhythm.

Lytgobi may harm the fetus during pregnancy. If you are fertile or your partner may have children, you must use an effective contraceptive during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of Lytgobi. It is unknown whether Lytgobi reduces the effectiveness of contraceptive medications, and therefore barrier methods should be applied in addition to these medications to prevent pregnancy.

Children and adolescents

Lytgobi should not be administered to children or adolescents under 18 years of age. It is not known if it is safe and effective in this age group.

Other medications and Lytgobi

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently or may need to take any other medication,

Particularly, you must inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications so that your doctor can decide if your treatment needs to be changed:

  • itraconazole: a medication to treat fungal infections.
  • clarithromycin: a medication to treat some infections
  • rifampicin: a medication to treat tuberculosis and other infections.
  • carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital: medications to treat epilepsy.
  • efavirenz: a medication to treat HIV infection.
  • digoxin: a medication to treat heart conditions.
  • dabigatran: a medication to prevent blood clot formation.
  • colchicine: a medication to treat gout attacks.
  • rosuvastatin: a medication to treat high cholesterol.
  • theophylline:a medication to treat respiratory problems.
  • olanzapine:a medication to control symptoms of mental disorders.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

  • Pregnancy/Contraception - information for women

You should not become pregnant during treatment with Lytgobi because this medication may harm the fetus. You should have a pregnancy test before starting treatment, and women who may become pregnant should use effective contraceptive methods during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of Lytgobi. Barrier methods should be applied as a second form of contraception to prevent pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about the most suitable contraceptive for you.

  • Contraception - information for men

You should not father a child during treatment with Lytgobi because this medication may harm the fetus. You should use an effective contraceptive during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose of Lytgobi.

  • Breastfeeding

Do not breastfeed during treatment with Lytgobi and for 1 week after the last dose. This is because it is unknown whether Lytgobi can pass into breast milk and, therefore, may harm the baby.

Driving and operating machinery

Lytgobi may cause side effects such as fatigue or visual disturbances. Do not drive or operate machinery if this happens.

3. How to Take Lytgobi

Treatment Duration

If you take more Lytgobi than you should

Inform your doctor immediately if you have taken more Lytgobi than you should have.

If you forget to take Lytgobi

  • If you forget to take a dose of Lytgobi within 12 hours or less, take the missed dose as soon as you remember.
  • If you forget to take a dose of Lytgobi more than 12 hours, skip the missed dose. Take the next dose at the usual time.
  • Do not take a double dose of Lytgobi if you experience vomiting. Take the next dose at the scheduled time.
  • Do not take a double dose to compensate for missed doses.
