TREAT HER DIFFERENTLY WITH TYKERB Second Line: TYKERB is indicated in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2 and who have received prior therapy including an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab.1 First Line: TYKERB is indicated in combination with letrozole for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive metastatic breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 receptor for whom hormonal therapy is indicated.1 TYKERB in combination with an aromatase inhibitor has not been compared to a trastuzumabcontaining chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.1
BOXED WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY TYKERB has been associated with hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity (ALT or AST >3 times the upper limit of normal and total bilirubin >2 times the upper limit of normal) has been observed in clinical trials (<1% of patients) and postmarketing experience. The hepatotoxicity may be severe and deaths have been reported. Causality of the deaths is uncertain. The hepatotoxicity may occur days to several months after initiation of treatment. Liver function tests (transaminases, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase) should be monitored before initiation of treatment, every 4 to 6 weeks during treatment, and as clinically indicated. If changes in liver function are severe, therapy with TYKERB should be discontinued and patients should not be re-treated with TYKERB.

The HER (ErbB) family of 4 transmembrane receptors is essential for normal cell development; HER2 is the most well known of these receptors in breast cancer2 HER2-driven downstream signaling is unregulated in malignant cells,3 resulting in: —Uncontrolled cellular proliferation2 —Increased metastatic and invasive potential2 —Resistance to apoptosis2
BOXED WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY TYKERB has been associated with hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity (ALT or AST >3 times the upper limit of normal and total bilirubin >2 times the upper limit of normal) has been observed in clinical trials (<1% of patients) and postmarketing experience.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Important Safety Warnings for TYKERB: Patients with known severe hypersensitivity to TYKERB or any of its components should not take TYKERB. Also, patients may experience decreased left ventricular ejection fraction, hepatotoxicity, diarrhea, interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, QT prolongation, and risk of fetal harm in pregnant women. If TYKERB is to be administered to patients with severe hepatic impairment, dose reduction should be considered The most common adverse reactions (>20%) during therapy with TYKERB plus capecitabine compared to capecitabine alone were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, rash, and fatigue The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) during therapy with TYKERB plus letrozole compared to letrozole were diarrhea, rash, nausea, and fatigue

TYKERB + CAPECITABINE CARDIAC SAFETY/DOSING
TYKERB has been reported to decrease LVEF. Caution should be taken if TYKERB is to be administered to patients with preexisting cardiac conditions, including uncontrolled or symptomatic angina, arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure. Confirm normal LVEF before starting TYKERB, and continue evaluations during treatment
Avoid strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers. If unavoidable, consider dose reduction of TYKERB in patients coadministered a strong CYP3A4 CYP3A4 inhibitor or consider gradual dose increase in patients coadministered a strong CYP3A4 inducer1
TREAT HER DIFFERENTLY WITH TYKERB INDICATION (in combination with capecitabine) TYKERB is indicated in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2 and who have received prior therapy including an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab.
Diarrhea—Diarrhea, including severe diarrhea, has been reported during treatment with TYKERB. Proactive management of diarrhea with anti-diarrheal agents is important, and severe cases of diarrhea may require administration of oral or intravenous electrolytes and fluids, and interruption or discontinuation of therapy with TYKERB.
INDICATION (in combination with letrozole)
Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis—TYKERB has been associated with interstitial lung disease and pneumonitis. Patients should be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis and if symptoms are ≥Grade 3 (NCI CTCAE), TYKERB should be discontinued.
TYKERB is indicated in combination with letrozole for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive metastatic breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 receptor for whom hormonal therapy is indicated. TYKERB in combination with an aromatase inhibitor has not been compared to a trastuzumabcontaining chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
DOSE MODIFICATION GUIDELINES For dose modification guidelines, please see accompanying Prescribing Information.
BOXED WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY TYKERB has been associated with hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity (ALT or AST >3 times the upper limit of normal and total bilirubin >2 times the upper limit of normal) has been observed in clinical trials (<1% of patients) and postmarketing experience. The hepatotoxicity may be severe and deaths have been reported. Causality of the deaths is uncertain. The hepatotoxicity may occur days to several months after initiation of treatment. Liver function tests (transaminases, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase) should be monitored before initiation of treatment, every 4 to 6 weeks during treatment, and as clinically indicated. If changes in liver function are severe, therapy with TYKERB should be discontinued and patients should not be re-treated with TYKERB.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Contraindication—TYKERB is contraindicated in patients with known severe hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to this product or any of its components. Decreased Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction—TYKERB has been reported to decrease LVEF. Caution should be taken if TYKERB is to be administered to patients with conditions that could impair LVEF. Confirm normal LVEF before starting TYKERB, and continue evaluations during treatment.
QT Prolongation—TYKERB prolongs the QT interval in some patients. TYKERB should be administered with caution to patients who have or may develop prolongation of QTc. Hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia should be corrected prior to TYKERB administration. Baseline and on-treatment electrocardiograms with QT measurement should be considered. Pregnancy—Pregnancy Category D: TYKERB can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Women should be advised not to become pregnant when taking TYKERB. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Adverse Reactions—The most common (>20%) adverse reactions during treatment with TYKERB plus capecitabine were diarrhea, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, nausea, rash, vomiting, and fatigue. The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions during treatment with TYKERB plus letrozole were diarrhea, rash, nausea, and fatigue.

IN HR+/HER2+ METASTATIC BREAST CANCER—
WHEN CYTOTOXIC CHEMOTHERAPY IS NOT IMMEDIATELY NEEDED
TREAT HER DIFFERENTLY FIRST LINE TYKERB + LETROZOLE PROVIDES A CYTOTOXIC-FREE, ALL-ORAL REGIMEN
Cardiac Events—TYKERB should be discontinued in patients with a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) that is Grade 2 or greater by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) and in patients with an LVEF that drops below the institution’s lower limit of normal. TYKERB in combination with letrozole may be restarted at a reduced dose of 1250 mg/day after a minimum of 2 weeks if the LVEF recovers to normal and the patient is asymptomatic.

Avoid strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers. If unavoidable, consider dose reduction of TYKERB in patients CYP3A4 coadministered a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor or consider gradual dose increase in patients coadministered a strong CYP3A4 inducer1
Do not crush, split, or dissolve TYKERB tablets10
The dosage of letrozole is 2.5 mg daily when taken in combination with TYKERB1
LY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION TYKERB should be taken with letrozole on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 1 hour after food1 Letrozole can be taken with or without food14

Treatment should be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs1
Important Safety Warnings for TYKERB: Patients with known severe hypersensitivity to TYKERB or any of its components should not take TYKERB. Also, patients may experience decreased left ventricular ejection fraction, hepatotoxicity, diarrhea, interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, QT prolongation, and risk of fetal harm in pregnant women.

Please see complete Important Safety Information on pages 12 and 13, including BOXED WARNING, and accompanying Prescribing Information.
TYKERB + LETROZOLE DOSING
22
Hepatic Impairment—Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) should have their dose of TYKERB reduced. A dose reduction from 1500 mg/day to 1000 mg/day of TYKERB in patients with severe hepatic impairment is predicted to adjust the area under the curve (AUC) to the normal range and should be considered. However, there are no clinical data with this dose adjustment in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Other Toxicities—Discontinuation or interruption of dosing with TYKERB may be considered when patients develop ≥Grade 2 NCI CTCAE toxicity and can be restarted when the toxicity improves to Grade 1 or less. If the toxicity recurs, then TYKERB in combination with letrozole should be restarted at a lower dose of 1250 mg/day.
TYKERB Should Be Taken as Directed The recommended dose of TYKERB is SIX 250-mg tablets taken orally once daily continuously in combination with letrozole1
DOSE MODIFICATION GUIDELINES
23
TREAT HER DIFFERENTLY WITH TYKERB SECOND-LINE INDICATION (in combination with capecitabine) TYKERB is indicated in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2 and who have received prior therapy including an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab.1
FIRST-LINE INDICATION (in combination with letrozole) TYKERB is indicated in combination with letrozole for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive metastatic breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 receptor for whom hormonal therapy is indicated.1 TYKERB in combination with an aromatase inhibitor has not been compared to a trastuzumabcontaining chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.1
28% to 43%* TYKERB + Capecitabine Lowered Risk of Progression by 28% to 43% vs Capecitabine Alone
SECOND LINE (HER2+ MBC)1 Investigator Assessment: TYKERB + capecitabine significantly improved median TTP vs capecitabine; 23.9 weeks vs 18.3 weeks, respectively (P=0.00762) Independent Assessment: TYKERB + capecitabine significantly improved median TTP vs capecitabine; 27.1 weeks vs 18.6 weeks, respectively (P=0.00013)
29% TYKERB + Letrozole Improvement in Progression-Free Survival vs Letrozole
FIRST LINE (HR+/HER2+ MBC)1 TYKERB + letrozole significantly improved PFS vs letrozole; 35.4 weeks (8.2 months) vs 13 weeks (3.0 months), respectively (P=0.019)
*These percentages are derived from the hazard ratios in both the investigator and independent assessments.
BOXED WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY TYKERB has been associated with hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity (ALT or AST >3 times the upper limit of normal and total bilirubin >2 times the upper limit of normal) has been observed in clinical trials (<1% of patients) and postmarketing experience. The hepatotoxicity may be severe and deaths have been reported. Causality of the deaths is uncertain. The hepatotoxicity may occur days to several months after initiation of treatment. Liver function tests (transaminases, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase) should be monitored before initiation of treatment, every 4 to 6 weeks during treatment, and as clinically indicated. If changes in liver function are severe, therapy with TYKERB should be discontinued and patients should not be re-treated with TYKERB. Please see complete Important Safety Information on pages 12 and 13, including BOXED WARNING, and accompanying Prescribing Information.
