Patient leaflet - Krazati 200 mg film-coated tablets

1. What KRAZATI is and what it is used for

KRAZATI contains the active substance adagrasib and belongs to a group of medicines known as antineoplastic agents (cancer medicines).

KRAZATI is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when it is advanced or has spread to other parts of the body.

KRAZATI is used when previous treatments were not effective in stopping the growth of the cancer, and when the cancer cells have been altered, they produce a rare protein called KRAS G12C. Your doctor will test for this alteration in your cancer cells to make sure that KRAZATI is right for you.

How does KRAZATI work?

The rare KRAS G12C protein makes the cancer cells grow out of control. KRAZATI attaches to the protein and stops it from working, which may slow down or stop the growth of the cancer.

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

2. What you need to know before you take KRAZATI

Do not take KRAZATI

  • If you are allergic to adagrasib or any of the other ingredients of this medicine

    (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking KRAZATI.

KRAZATI may affect your liver. Your doctor may carry out some tests before you begin taking KRAZATI and once a month for the first

3 months of your treatment. Your dose may then be either reduced, interrupted, or stopped accordingly.

Talk to your doctor before you take KRAZATI if you have heart or circulation problems, if you experience fast or irregular heartbeats or take any heart medication. Your doctor will decide if this medicine is suitable for you and may monitor your heart with an ECG (electrocardiogram) and adjust your dose of KRAZATI accordingly.

Talk to your doctor during your treatment if you:

  • feel dizzy or develop any heart problems such as a fast or irregular heartbeat.
  • feel nauseous, vomit and/or experience diarrhoea. Your doctor may give you

    medicine and fluids to help with these symptoms, or he may temporarily reduce or stop your treatment where these symptoms persist.

  • develop increased breathlessness, cough or a fever.

Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you notice any progressive symptoms related to serious skin reactions, such as inflammation of the skin (which may include rash, itching, skin blistering, peeling or sores), and/or ulcers in mouth or in lining of nose, throat, or genital area, accompanied by fever or flu-like symptoms.

Children and adolescents

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

Other medicines and KRAZATI

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This includes herbal supplements and medicines obtained without prescription. This is because KRAZATI can affect how some other medicines work. Also, some other medicines can affect how KRAZATI works.

The following medicines may reduce how well KRAZATI works:

  • carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital (used to treat epilepsy) • rifampicin (used to treat tuberculosis)
  • St John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum; available as either a medicine or a

    herbal supplement and is used to treat depression)

The following medicines may increase the risk for side effects with KRAZATI by increasing the levels of KRAZATI in the blood. These medicines can only be used once you have taken KRAZATI for 8 days:

  • itraconazole, ketoconazole (used to treat fungal infections) • ritonavir (used with other medications to treat HIV infection)

The following medicines may increase the risk for side effects with KRAZATI by increasing the levels of KRAZATI in the blood:

  • amiodarone (used to treat heart problems)
  • cisapride (used to treat symptoms of nighttime heartburn and other

    gastrointestinal disorders)

  • colchicine (used to treat gout)

    dofetilide, ibutilide, quinidine, sotalol)
