Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ENSACOVE is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)as detected by an FDA-approved test [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] who have not previously received an ALK-inhibitor. ENSACOVE is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as detected by an FDA-approved test who have not previously received an ALK-inhibitor. ( 1 , 2.1 )
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Select patients with ALK-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC for treatment with ENSACOVE. ( 2.1 ) Prior to initiating ENSACOVE, evaluate liver function tests and fasting blood glucose. ( 2.2 ) Recommended dosage: 225 mg orally once daily with or without food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with ENSACOVE based on the presence of ALK rearrangement(s) in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of ALK rearrangements in NSCLC is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics .

Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis : Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue in patients with ILD/pneumonitis. ( 5.1 ) Hepatotoxicity : Monitor liver function tests during treatment with ENSACOVE. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ENSACOVE based on severity. (5.2 ) Dermatologic Adverse Reaction : Monitor for dermatologic adverse reactions during treatment with ENSACOVE. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ENSACOVE based on severity. ( 5.3 ) Bradycardia : Monitor heart rate regularly during treatment with ENSACOVE. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue ENSACOVE based on severity. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ENSACOVE is contraindicated in patients who have experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction to ENSACOVE, FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine), or to any of its components [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] . Hypersensitivity reaction to ENSACOVE, FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine), or to any of its components. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , ENSACOVE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of ENSACOVE in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of ensartinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities.
