Do not open, break, or chew the capsules.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%), including laboratory abnormalities are increased AST, periorbital edema, fatigue, rash, increased cholesterol, peripheral edema, face edema, decreased neutrophils, decreased leukocytes, pruritus, and increased ALT. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, LLC at 1-888-724-3274 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates : Avoid concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with P-gp substrates. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, take ROMVIMZA at least 4 hours prior to P-gp substrates. Concomitant use of vimseltinib with P-gp substrates may increase exposure of these substrates. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) substrates : Avoid concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with BCRP substrates. Concomitant use of vimseltinib with BCRP substrates may increase exposure of these substrates. ( 7.1 ) Organic Cation Transporter 2 (OCT) substrates : Avoid concomitant use of ROMVIMZA with OCT2 substrates. Concomitant use of vimseltinib with OCT2 substrates may increase exposure of these substrates.

Warnings

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hepatotoxicity: Elevated AST and ALT can occur. Evaluate liver tests prior to initiation of treatment and during treatment. ( 2.2 , 5.1 ) Embryo-fetal toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.2 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Allergic Reactions to FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) and No. 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF): 14 mg capsule contains FD&C Yellow No. 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF); 20 mg capsule contains FD&C Yellow No.5 (tartrazine) and No. 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF) as color additives, which may cause allergic reactions (including bronchial asthma) in certain susceptible patients. ( 5.3 ) Increased serum creatinine without affecting renal function: Increases in serum creatinine can occur. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None ( 4 )

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, ROMVIMZA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on vimseltinib use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In female rats administered vimseltinib during the period of organogenesis, fetal structural abnormalities occurred at exposures that were at least 3 times the recommended dose based on AUC ( see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.
