1. What LUMYKRAS is and what it is used for

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

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

LUMYKRAS is used when previous treatments were not effective in stopping the growth of the cancer, and when the cancer cells have a genetic change that allows them to produce an abnormal form of protein called KRAS G12C. Your doctor will test your cancer cells for this change beforehand to make sure that LUMYKRAS is right for you.

How does LUMYKRAS work?

The abnormal KRAS G12C protein, acts to help make cancer cells grow out of control. LUMYKRAS 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 LUMYKRAS 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 LUMYKRAS

Do not take LUMYKRAS

  • if you are allergic to sotorasib 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 LUMYKRAS.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you have a history of liver problems. Your doctor may carry out blood tests to check your liver function, and may decide to either reduce the dose of LUMYKRAS or stop your treatment.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any other lung problems. Some lung problems may get worse during treatment with LUMYKRAS, as LUMYKRAS may cause inflammation of the lungs during treatment. Symptoms may be similar to those from lung cancer. Tell your doctor right away if you have any new or worsening symptoms including difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath, or cough with or without mucous, or fever.

Children and adolescents

- Medicines used to reduce high blood pressure, such as amlodipine and manidipine

Contraception

If you take LUMYKRAS whilst using oral contraceptives, the oral contraceptives may be ineffective.
In addition, you should use another reliable method of birth control such as a barrier method (e.g.

condom) so you do not become pregnant while you are taking this medicine. Talk to your doctor about the right methods of contraception for you and your partner.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

You should not become pregnant while taking this medicine because the effects of LUMYKRAS in pregnant women are not known, it could harm the baby. If you are able to become pregnant, you must use highly effective contraception while on treatment and for at least 7 days after stopping treatment.

Breast-feeding

Do not breast-feed while taking this medicine and for 7 days after the last dose. This is because it is not known whether the ingredients in LUMYKRAS pass into breast milk and could therefore harm your baby.

Driving and using machines

LUMYKRAS has no marked influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

LUMYKRAS contains lactose

If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.

LUMYKRAS contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially ‘sodium-free’.

3. How to take LUMYKRAS

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Do not change your dose or stop taking LUMYKRAS unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
Your doctor or pharmacist may decrease the dose or stop your medicine depending on how well you tolerate it.

- The recommended dose is 960 mg (eight 120 mg tablets or four 240 mg tablets) once a day.

Take your daily dose of LUMYKRAS by mouth once a day, at the same time each day.

- LUMYKRAS can be taken with or without food.

- Swallow the tablets whole. You can disperse the tablets in water but do not chew, crush, or split the tablets.
- If you cannot swallow LUMYKRAS tablets whole:

- Place your daily dose of LUMYKRAS in half a glass (not less than 120 mL) of plain, room temperature drinking water, without crushing the tablets. Do not use any other liquids, including acidic beverages (e.g. fruit juices).

- Swirl gently until the tablets are in small pieces (the tablets will not dissolve completely).

The appearance of the mixture may range from pale to bright yellow.

- Drink the mixture right away.

- Rinse the glass with an additional half a glass of water and drink right away to make sure that you have taken the full dose of LUMYKRAS.

- If you do not drink all of the mixture immediately, stir the mixture again before you finish drinking it. Drink all of the mixture within two hours of preparation.

- If necessary, your doctor may recommend you receive LUMYKRAS through a feeding tube.

If you need to take a medicine to reduce stomach acid such as a proton pump inhibitor or an H2 receptor antagonist, take LUMYKRAS with an acidic beverage (such as cola). Alternatively, you may use a local antacid (such as magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate) and, in that case, LUMYKRAS should be taken either 4 hours before or 10 hours after that medicine (see section 2).

If you take more LUMYKRAS than you should

Contact your doctor, pharmacist or nurse immediately if you take more tablets than recommended.

If you vomit after taking LUMYKRAS

If you vomit after taking a dose of LUMYKRAS, do not take an extra dose. Take your next dose at your regular scheduled time.

If you forget to take LUMYKRAS

If you forget to take a dose of LUMYKRAS at your regular scheduled time, and less than 6 hours have passed, take your dose as normal. If more than 6 hours have passed from your regular scheduled time, do not take the dose. Take your next dose at your regular scheduled time the next day.
