`
`Ifsevere reactions occur with concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or with a combined CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 inhibitor.
`Avoid concomitant use if possible /see Drug Interactions (7)].
`e Whenrestarting therapy following withholding treatmentfor a dose-limiting toxicity that has resolved to baseline or grade < 1.
`
` Reduce TARCEVAby 50 mg decrements:
`
`Increase TARCEVAby 50 mg increments as tolerated for:
`¢ Concomitant use with CYP3A4 inducers. Increase doses by 50 mg increments at 2-weekintervals to a maximum of 450 mg. Avoid
`concomitant use, if possible /see Drug Interactions (7)].
`¢ Concurrent cigarette smoking or concomitant use of moderate CYP1A2 inducers. Increase by 50 mg increments at 2-week intervals
`to a maximumof 300 mg. Immediately reduce the dose of TARCEVAto the recommended dose (150 mg or 100 mg daily) upon
`cessation of smoking {see Drug Interactions (7) and Clinical Pharmacology (1 2.3)].
`
`e
`
`Drugs that Increase Gastric pH
`« Avoid concomitant use of TARCEVA with proton pumpinhibitors if possible. Separation of doses may not eliminate the interaction
`since proton pump inhibitors affect the pH of the upper GI tract for an extended period.
`Iftreatment with an H-2 receptor antagonist suchas ranitidine is required, TARCEVA mustbe taken 10 hoursafter the H-2 receptor
`antagonist dosing andat least 2 hours before the next dose of the H-2 receptor antagonist,
`¢ Althoughthe effect of antacids on erlotinib pharmacokinetics has not been evaluated, the antacid dose and the TARCEVA dose
`should be separated by several hours,if an antacid is necessary.

`
`CONTRAINDICATIONS
`
`None
`
`WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
`Cases ofserious ILD, including fatal cases, can occur with TARCEVAtreatment. The overall incidence of ILD in approximately 32,000
`TARCEVA-treated patients in uncontrolled studies and studies with concurrent chemotherapy was approximately 1.1%. In patients with
`ILD, the onset of symptoms was between 5 days to more than 9 months (median 39 days) after initiating TARCEVAtherapy.
`
`Withhold TARCEVAforacute onset of new or progressive unexplained pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever
`pendingdiagnostic evaluation. If ILD is confirmed, permanently discontinue TARCEVA [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`
`Renal Failure
`
`Hepatorenal syndrome,severe acute renalfailure including fatal cases, and renal insufficiency can occur with TARCEVAtreatment.
`Renal failure may arise from exacerbation of underlying baseline hepatic impairmentor severe dehydration. The pooled incidence of
`severe renal impairmentin the 3 monotherapy lung cancer studies was 0.5% in the TARCEVAarmsand 0.8% in the control arms. The
`incidence of renal impairment in the pancreatic cancer study was 1.4% in the TARCEVAplus gemcitabine arm and 0.4% in the control
`arm, Withhold TARCEVAin patients developing severe renal impairment until renal toxicity is resolved. Perform periodic monitoring
`of renal function and serumelectrolytes during TARCEVAtreatment /see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Dosage and Administration
`(2.4)].
`
`5.3
`
`Hepatotoxicity with or without Hepatic Impairment
`Hepatic failure and hepatorenal syndrome, including fatal cases, can occur with TARCEVAtreatmentin patients with normal hepatic
`function; the risk of hepatic toxicity is increased in patients with baseline hepatic impairment. In clinical studies where patients with
`moderate to severe hepatic impairment were excluded, the pooled incidenceof hepatic failure in the 3 monotherapy lung cancer studies
`was 0.4% in the TARCEVA armsand 0% inthe control arms. The incidence ofhepatic failure in the pancreatic cancer study was 0.4%
`in the TARCEVAplus gemcitabine arm and 0.4% in the control arm, In a pharmacokinetic study in 15 patients with moderate hepatic
`impairment (Child-Pugh B) associated with significant liver tumor burden, 10 of these 15 patients died within 30 daysofthe last
`TARCEVAdose. One patient died from hepatorenal syndrome, | patient died from rapidly progressingliver failure and the remaining 8
`patients died from progressive disease, Six out of the 10 patients who died hadbaseline total bilirubin > 3 x ULN.
`
`4
`
`

`

`Perform periodic liver testing (transaminases,bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase) during treatment with TARCEVA.Increased
`frequency of monitoring ofliver function is required for patients with pre-existing hepatic impairmentor biliary obstruction. Withhold
`TARCEVA in patients without pre-existing hepatic impairmentfor total bilirubin levels greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal or
`transaminasesgreater than 5 times the upper limit of normal. Withhold TARCEVAin patients with pre-existing hepatic impairment or
`biliary obstruction for doubling ofbilirubin ortripling of transaminases values over baseline. Discontinue TARCEVAin patients whose
`abnormalliver tests meeting the abovecriteria do not improve significantly or resolve within three weeks /see Dosage and
`Administration (2.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
`
`5.4
`
`Gastrointestinal Perforation
`
`Gastrointestinal perforation, including fatal cases, can occur with TARCEVAtreatment. Patients receiving concomitant anti-angiogenic
`agents, corticosteroids, NSAIDs, or taxane-based chemotherapy, or who have prior history of peptic ulceration or diverticular disease
`maybeat increasedrisk of perforation /see Adverse Reactions(6.1, 6.2)]. The pooled incidence of gastrointestinal perforation in the 3
`monotherapy lung cancer studies was 0.2% in the TARCEVA armsand 0.1% in the contro! arms. The incidence of gastrointestinal
`perforation in the pancreatic cancer study was 0.4% in the TARCEVAplus gemcitabine arm and 0% in the control arm, Permanently
`discontinue TARCEVAin patients who develop gastrointestinal perforation /see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`
`5.5
`
`Bullous and Exfoliative Skin Disorders
`
`Bullous, blistering and exfoliative skin conditions, including cases suggestive of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/Toxic epidermal necrolysis,
`which in somecases were fatal, can occur with TARCEVAtreatment /see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]. The pooled incidence of
`bullous and exfoliative skin disorders in the 3 monotherapy lung cancer studies was 1.2% in the TARCEVAarms and 0% in the control
`arms. The incidence of bullous and exfoliative skin disorders in the pancreatic cancer study was 0.4% in the TARCEVAplus
`gemcitabine arm and 0% in the control arm. Discontinue TARCEVAtreatmentif the patient develops severe bullous, blistering or
`exfoliating conditions /see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`
`5.6
`
`Myocardial Infarction/Ischemia
`
`In the pancreatic carcinomatrial, six patients (incidence of 2.1%) in the TARCEVA/gemcitabine group developed myocardial
`infarction/ischemia. Oneof these patients died due to myocardial infarction. In comparison, 3 patients in the placebo/gemcitabine group
`developed myocardial infarction (incidence 1.1%), and one died due to myocardial infarction. The pooled incidence of myocardial
`infarction/ischemia in the 3 monotherapy lung cancer studies was 0.2% in the TARCEVA armsand 0.4% in the control arms.
`
`5.7
`
`Cerebrovascular Accident
`
`In the pancreatic carcinomatrial, seven patients in the TARCEVA/gemcitabine group developed cerebrovascular accidents (incidence:
`2.5%). One of these was hemorrhagic and wastheonly fatal event. In comparison,in the placebo/gemcitabine group there were no
`cerebrovascular accidents. The pooled incidence of cerebrovascular accident in the 3 monotherapy lung cancer studies was 0.6% in the
`TARCEVAarmsand 0.9% in the control arms.
`
`5.8
`
`Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia with Thrombocytopenia
`The pooled incidence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia with thrombocytopenia in the 3 monotherapy lung cancerstudies was 0%
`in the TARCEVAarmsand 0.1% in the control arms. The incidence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia with thrombocytopenia in
`the pancreatic cancer study was 1.4% in the TARCEVAplus gemcitabine arm and 0% in the control arm,
`
`Ocular Disorders
`
`Decreased tear production, abnormal eyelash growth, keratoconjunctivitis sicca or keratitis can occur with TARCEVAtreatment and
`can lead to corneal perforation or ulceration [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and (6.2)]. The pooled incidenceof ocular disorders in the 3
`monotherapy lung cancerstudies was 17.8% in the TARCEVAarmsand 4% in the control arms. The incidence of ocular disorders in
`the pancreatic cancer study was 12.8% in the TARCEVAplus gemcitabine arm and 11.4% in the control arm.Interrupt or discontinue
`TARCEVAtherapyif patients present with acute or worsening ocular disorders such as eye pain {see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`
`5.10
`
`Hemorrhagein Patients Taking Warfarin
`
`Severe and fatal hemorrhage associated with International Normalized Ratio (INR)elevations can occur when TARCEVAandwarfarin
`are administered concurrently. Regularly monitor prothrombin time and INR during TARCEVAtreatmentin patients taking warfarin or
`other coumarin-derivative anticoagulants [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Drug Interactions (7)).
`
`Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
`
`Based on its mechanism of action, TARCEVAcan cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. When given during
`organogenesis, erlotinib administration resulted in embryo-fetal lethality and abortion in rabbits at doses approximately 3 times the
`recommended human daily dose of 150 mg. If TARCEVAis used during pregnancy,orif the patient becomes pregnant while taking
`this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus /see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)],
`
`Advise females of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception during therapy, and for at least 2 weeksafter the last dose
`of TARCEVA.Advisepatients to contact their healthcare providerif they become pregnant,or if pregnancy is suspected, while taking
`TARCEVA[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and (8.6)].

`
`Clinical Trial Experience
`
`Because clinicaltrials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in theclinical trials of a drug
`cannotbe directly comparedto rates in the clinical trials of another drug and maynotreflect the rates observed in practice.
`
`Safety evaluation of TARCEVAis based on more than 1200 cancer patients who received TARCEVAas monotherapy, more than 300
`patients who received TARCEVA100 or 150 mg plus gemcitabine, and 1228 patients who received TARCEVAconcurrently with other
`chemotherapies. The most commonadverse reactions with TARCEVAare rash and diarrhea usually with onset during the first month of
`treatment. The incidences of rash and diarrhea from clinical studies of TARCEVAfor the treatment of NSCLC and pancreatic cancer
`were 70% for rash and 42% for diarrhea.
`
`Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
`
`First-Line Treatment ofPatients with EGFR Mutations
`
`The most frequent ( 30%) adverse reactions in TARCEVA-treated patients were diarrhea, asthenia, rash, cough, dyspnea and decreased
`appetite. In TARCEVA-treated patients the median time to onset of rash was 15 days and the mediantime to onset of diarrhea was 32
`days,
`
`The most frequent Grade 3-4 adverse reactions in TARCEVA-treated patients were rash and diarrhea.
`
`Doseinterruptions or reductions due to adverse reactions occurred in 37% of TARCEVA-treated patients, and 14.3% of TARCEVA-
`treated patients discontinued therapy due to adverse reactions. In TARCEVA-treated patients, the most frequently reported adverse
`reactions leading to dose modification were rash (13%), diarrhea (10%), and asthenia (3.6%).
`
`Selected, commonadverse reactionsin Study 4, occurring in at least 10% of patients who received TARCEVAor chemotherapy and an
`increase in > 5% in the TARCEVA-treated group, are summarized by NCI-CTC (version 3.0) Grade in Table 1. The median duration of
`TARCEVAtreatment was 9.6 months in Study 4.

`
`The most commonadverse reactions in patients receiving single-agent TARCEVA 150 mg were rash and diarrhea. Grade 3-4 rash and
`diarrhea occurred in 9% and 2%,respectively, in TARCEVA-treated patients. Rash and diarrhea resulted in study discontinuation in 1%
`and 0.5% of TARCEVA-treated patients, respectively. Dose reductionor interruption for rash and diarrhea was needed in 5% and 3% of
`patients, respectively. In TARCEVA-treated patients the median time to onset of rash was 10 days, and the median time to onset of
`diarrhea was 15 days.

`Second/Third Line Treatment
`
`Adverse reactions, regardless of causality, that occurred in at least 10% of patients treated with single-agent TARCEVAat 150 mg and
`at least 5% more often than in the placebo group in the randomizedtrial of patients with NSCLC are summarized by NCI-CTC (version
`2,0) Grade in Table 3.
`
`The most common adverse reactionsin this patient population were rash and diarrhea, Grade 3-4 rash and diarrhea occurred in 9% and
`6%, respectively, in TARCEVA-treated patients. Rash and diarrhea each resulted in study discontinuation in 1% of TARCEVA-treated
`patients, Six percent and 1% ofpatients needed dose reduction for rash and diarrhea, respectively. The median time to onset of rash was
`8 days, and the median time to onset of diarrhea was 12 days.

`Rash as a composite term includes: rash, palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome,acne, skin disorder, pigmentation disorder, erythema,
`skin ulcer, dermatitis exfoliative, rash papular, skin desquamation.
`
`Liver function test abnormalities (including elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and bilirubin)
`were observedin patients receiving single-agent TARCEVA 150 mg. These elevations were mainly transient or associated with liver
`metastases. Grade 2 (> 2.5 — 5.0 x ULN) ALTelevations occurred in 4% and < 1% of TARCEVAandplacebo-treated patients,
`respectively, Grade 3 (> 5.0 ~ 20.0 x ULN)elevations were not observed in TARCEVA-treated patients. TARCEVA dosing should be
`interrupted or discontinued if changesin liver function are severe [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`
`Pancreatic Cancer - TARCEVA Administered Concurrently with Gemcitabine
`
`This was a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study of TARCEVA(150 mg or 100 mgdaily) or placebo plus gemcitabine
`(1000 mg/m? IV)in patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer (Study 2), The safety population
`comprised 282 patients in the erlotinib group (259 in the 100 mg cohort and 23 in the 150 mg cohort) and 280 patients in the placebo
`group (256 in the 100 mg cohort and 24 in the 150 mg cohort).
`
`Adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients treated with TARCEVA 100 mg plus gemcitabine in the randomizedtrial of
`patients with pancreatic cancer (Study 2) are summarized by NCI-CTC (version 2.0) Grade in Table 4.
`
`The most common adverse reactions in pancreatic cancer patients receiving TARCEVA 100 mg plus gemcitabine werefatigue, rash,
`nausea, anorexia and diarrhea. In the TARCEVAplus gemcitabine arm, Grade 3-4 rash and diarrhea were each reported in 5% of
`patients. The median timeto onset of rash and diarrhea was 10 days and 15 days, respectively. Rash and diarrhea each resulted in dose
`reductionsin 2% ofpatients, and resulted in study discontinuation in up to 1% ofpatients receiving TARCEVAplus gemcitabine,
`Severe adverse reactions (> Grade 3 NCI-CTC) in the TARCEVAplus gemcitabine group with incidences < 5% included syncope,
`arrhythmias, ileus, pancreatitis, hemolytic anemia including microangiopathic hemolytic anemia with thrombocytopenia, myocardial
`infarction/ischemia, cerebrovascular accidents including cerebral hemorrhage, and renal insufficiency /see Warnings and Precautions
`(S)].
`
`The 150 mg cohort was associated with a higher rate of certain class-specific adverse reactions including rash and required more
`frequent dose reduction or interruption.
