The only once-daily RET inhibitor1

Recommended starting dose: 400 mg once daily

Four 100-mg capsules, 1x daily

GAVRETO offers patients a clear, once-daily dosing schedule

  • Continue treatment until disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity 
  • If a dose of GAVRETO is missed, it can be taken as soon as possible on the same day. Resume the regular daily dose schedule for GAVRETO the next day
  • Advise patients not to take an additional dose if vomiting occurs after taking GAVRETO but to continue with the next dose as scheduled
  • Select patients for treatment with GAVRETO based on the presence of a RET gene fusion (NSCLC or thyroid cancer) or RET gene mutation (MTC)
  • An FDA-approved test for the detection of RET gene fusion (thyroid cancer) and RET gene mutations is not currently available

MTC=medullary thyroid cancer; NSCLC=non–small cell lung cancer; RET=rearranged during transfection.

Recommended Dosage Modifications for GAVRETO for Coadministration with Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A Inhibitors

Strong CY3PA inducers or combined P-gp and strong CY3PA inhibitors are the only known drug-to-drug interactions that require dosage or administration modifications for GAVRETO

Current GAVRETO Dosage Recommended GAVRETO Dosage
400 mg orally once daily 200 mg orally once daily
300 mg orally once daily 200 mg orally once daily
200 mg orally once daily 100 mg orally once daily

Avoid coadministration of GAVRETO with known combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors. If coadministration with a combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, reduce the current dose of GAVRETO as recommended in the table directly above. After the inhibitor has been discontinued for 3 to 5 elimination half-lives, resume GAVRETO at the dose taken prior to initiating the combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitor.

Avoid coadministration of GAVRETO with strong CYP3A inducers. If coadministration with a strong CYP3A inducer cannot be avoided, increase the starting dose of GAVRETO to double the current GAVRETO dosage starting on Day 7 of coadministration of GAVRETO with the strong CYP3A inducer. After the inducer has been discontinued for at least 14 days, resume GAVRETO at the dose taken prior to initiating the strong CYP3A inducer.
