There are no available data on the use of HERNEXEOS in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of zongertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures ≥ 19 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose [see Data ] . Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 10, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day of zongertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 18). Zongertinib caused decreased fetal weights, delayed development of the urinary system, and kidney hydronephrosis at 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 19 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose). In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, there were no adverse embryo-fetal findings in pregnant animals administered oral doses of zongertinib up to 120 mg/kg/day (2.4 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose) during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 19).

Eligible patients were required to have unresectable or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 (ERBB2) mutations. Patients with stable brain metastases were eligible to enroll. The study excluded patients who had a history of non-infectious interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis. Patients received HERNEXEOS 120 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Previously Untreated Unresectable or Metastatic Non-Squamous NSCLC The efficacy population included 72 patients with unresectable or metastatic, non-squamous NSCLC with HER2 (ERBB2) tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations based on prospective local testing, who had not received prior systemic therapy for advanced disease. Of those, tumor tissue samples from 60% (43/72) of patients were retrospectively tested using Oncomine™ Dx Target Test (Life Technologies Corporation, Tissue-test). While 86% (37/43) of samples were positive for HER2 (ERBB2) TKD mutations; 14% (6/43) were unevaluable. The baseline demographic and disease characteristics of the efficacy population were: 67 years (range: 35 to 88); 50% female, 47% Asian, 42% White, 1.4% Black or African American; 10% had unknown race data; 6% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity; 44% Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 and 56% ECOG PS 1; 65% never smoked; 100% had metastatic disease; and 31% had brain metastases.

Zongertinib maximum concentration (C max,ss ) is 3.0 (37%) µmol/L and the total systemic exposure (AUC) is 34 (34%) µmol*h/L following HERNEXEOS 120 mg orally daily. Zongertinib C max and AUC increase in an approximately dose proportional manner across the dose range of 60 mg (0.5 times the approved recommended dosage) to 360 mg (3 times the approved recommended dosage). Zongertinib accumulation is approximately 1.5-fold for AUC and 1.3-fold for C max at the approved recommended dosage. Steady state is achieved within 2.5 days. Absorption Zongertinib median (min, max) time to maximum plasma concentration (T max ) is approximately 2 hours (min, max: 2, 6 hours). Zongertinib absolute oral bioavailability is 76%. Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in zongertinib C max and AUC were observed following administration of a single 240 mg dose (2 times the approved recommended dose) with a high-fat meal (approximately 1,000 calories, approximately 50% fat). Distribution Zongertinib plasma protein binding is > 99%. The apparent (oral) volume of distribution is 118 L (29%). Elimination Zongertinib effective half-life is 12 hours (21%) with an apparent (oral) clearance of 115 mL/min (31%). Metabolism Based on in vitro metabolite profiling, CYP-mediated oxidation pathways represent 48% to 62% (mainly CYP3A4 and CYP3A5), glucuronidation 13% to 25% (mainly UGT1A4), and glutathione conjugation 13% to 26% of total hepatic metabolism. Unchanged zongertinib represented the majority (75%) of total radioactivity in plasma. Excretion After a single oral dose of radiolabeled zongertinib 60 mg to healthy participants, approximately 93% of the dose was recovered in feces (31% unchanged) and 1.3% in urine (0.2% unchanged). Specific Populations The apparent volume of distribution and clearance of zongertinib increase with increasing body weight (34 to 122 kg). No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of zongertinib were observed based on age (30 to 88 years), sex, race (36% White, 49% Asian, 1.3% Black/African American), mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 to < 90 mL/min) or mild hepatic impairment (AST > ULN and total bilirubin ≤ ULN; or total bilirubin > 1 to 1.5× ULN and any AST).

Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HERNEXEOS based on severity. ( 5.1 ) Left Ventricular Dysfunction : Monitor LVEF at baseline prior to administration and at regular intervals during treatment and as clinically indicated. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HERNEXEOS based on severity. ( 5.2 ) Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis : Monitor for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HERNEXEOS based on severity. ( 5.3 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity HERNEXEOS can cause severe and life-threatening hepatotoxicity, including drug induced liver injury. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ], based on adverse reaction data, hepatotoxicity occurred in 27% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS. Grade 3 drug induced liver injury occurred in 1.4% and Grade 4 in 0.3% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS. Grade 3 hepatic failure occurred in 0.3% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS. Based on laboratory data, 37% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS experienced increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), including 4.9% Grade 3 and 1% Grade 4. Increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 31% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS, including 3.8% Grade 3 and 0.7% Grade 4. Increased bilirubin occurred in 20% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS, including 1% Grade 3 and 0.3% Grade 4. HERNEXEOS was interrupted for an adverse reaction of hepatotoxicity in 8% of patients, the dose was reduced in 3.8% and permanently discontinued in 1%. Monitor liver function tests including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin at baseline prior to administration of HERNEXEOS, every 2 weeks during the first 12 weeks, and then monthly thereafter as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase elevations. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HERNEXEOS based on the severity of the adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. 5.2 Left Ventricular Dysfunction HERNEXEOS can cause severe left ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) decrease occurred with anti-HER2 therapies, including HERNEXEOS. Treatment with HERNEXEOS has not been studied in patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease or LVEF less than 50% prior to initiation of treatment. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ], LVEF decrease occurred in 6% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS, including 1.7% Grade 3. Two patients with Grade 3 LVEF decrease required permanent discontinuation of HERNEXEOS. The median time to onset of decreased LVEF was 12 weeks (range: 2.9 to 63 weeks). Before initiating HERNEXEOS, evaluate LVEF and monitor at regular intervals during treatment and as clinically indicated. Interrupt, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue HERNEXEOS based on the severity of the adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. 5.3 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis HERNEXEOS can cause severe and life-threatening interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ], ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.1% of patients treated with HERNEXEOS. The median time to first onset of ILD/pneumonitis was 13 weeks (range: 1.4 to 65 weeks). One patient was able to resume therapy after resolution of pneumonitis. Two patients required permanent discontinuation and one patient died with unresolved pneumonitis > 30 days after discontinuing HERNEXEOS. Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Interrupt, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue HERNEXEOS based on severity of confirmed ILD/pneumonitis [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, HERNEXEOS can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In an animal reproduction study, oral administration of zongertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures ≥ 19 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with HERNEXEOS and for 2 weeks after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ]."],"clinical_studies_table":["<table width=\"75%\"><caption>Table 5 Efficacy Results for Beamion LUNG-1 in Previously Untreated Non-Squamous NSCLC</caption><col width=\"60%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"/><col width=\"40%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"/><thead><tr styleCode=\"Botrule\"><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Efficacy Parameter</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">HERNEXEOS   N = 72</th></tr></thead><tfoot><tr><td align=\"left\" colspan=\"2\">Abbreviation: CI = Confidence Interval, +: Ongoing response.</td></tr><tr><td align=\"left\" colspan=\"2\"><sup>1</sup>Based on Wilson confidence interval.</td></tr><tr><td align=\"left\" colspan=\"2\"><sup>2</sup>Based on observed duration of response. </td></tr></tfoot><tbody><tr styleCode=\"Botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\"><content styleCode=\"bold\">Objective Response Rate (ORR),</content> %   (95% CI)<sup>1</sup></td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">76   (65, 85) </td></tr><tr styleCode=\"Botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Complete response, %</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">11</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"Botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Partial response, %</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">65</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"Botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\"><content styleCode=\"bold\">Duration of Response (DOR)</content></td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\"><content styleCode=\"bold\">N = 55</content></td></tr><tr styleCode=\"Botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Range, months</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">1.4, 18+</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"Botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">DOR &#x2265; 6 months,<sup>2</sup> %</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">64</td></tr><tr><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">DOR &#x2265; 12 months,<sup>2</sup> %</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">44</td></tr></tbody></table>","<table width=\"75%\"><caption>Table 6 Efficacy Results for Beamion LUNG-1 in Previously Treated Non-Squamous NSCLC</caption><col width=\"60%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"/><col width=\"40%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"/><thead><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Efficacy Parameter</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">HERNEXEOS   N = 71</th></tr></thead><tfoot><tr><td colspan=\"2\" align=\"left\">Abbreviation: CI = Confidence Interval, +: Ongoing response.</td></tr><tr><td colspan=\"2\" align=\"left\"><sup>1</sup>Based on Wilson confidence interval.</td></tr><tr><td colspan=\"2\" align=\"left\"><sup>2</sup>Based on observed duration of response. </td></tr></tfoot><tbody><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\"><content styleCode=\"bold\">Objective Response Rate (ORR),</content> %   (95% CI)<sup>1</sup></td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">75   (63, 83)</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Complete response, %</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">6</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Partial response, %</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">69</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\"><content styleCode=\"bold\">Duration of Response (DOR)</content></td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\"><content styleCode=\"bold\">N = 53</content></td></tr><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Range, months</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">1.3+, 15+</td></tr><tr><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">DOR &#x2265; 6 months,<sup>2</sup> % </td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">58</td></tr></tbody></table>"],"nonclinical_toxicology":["13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with zongertinib.

QR Code"],"use_in_specific_populations":["8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ], HERNEXEOS can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of HERNEXEOS in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of zongertinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures ≥ 19 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose [see Data ] . Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 10, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day of zongertinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 18). Zongertinib caused decreased fetal weights, delayed development of the urinary system, and kidney hydronephrosis at 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 19 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose). In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, there were no adverse embryo-fetal findings in pregnant animals administered oral doses of zongertinib up to 120 mg/kg/day (2.4 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose) during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 19). A literature-based assessment of the effects on reproduction demonstrated that mice expressing catalytically inactive HER2 die at mid-gestation due to cardiac dysfunction. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of zongertinib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with HERNEXEOS and for 2 weeks after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, HERNEXEOS can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating HERNEXEOS. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with HERNEXEOS and for 2 weeks after the last dose. Infertility Females Based on findings from animal studies, HERNEXEOS may impair fertility in females. The effects in female animals were reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology 13.1 ] . Males Based on findings from animal studies, HERNEXEOS may impair fertility in males of reproductive potential. The effect on testes in animals was not reversible within a 4-week recovery period [see Nonclinical Toxicology 13.1 ] . 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of HERNEXEOS have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 292 patients with non-squamous NSCLC with HER2 (ERBB2) mutations who received HERNEXEOS in clinical studies, 47% were 65 years of age and older and 13% were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of HERNEXEOS were observed between older and younger adult patients."],"dosage_and_administration_table":["<table width=\"80%\"><caption>Table 1 Recommended HERNEXEOS Dose Reductions for Adverse Reactions</caption><col width=\"30%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"/><col width=\"30%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"/><col width=\"40%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"/><thead><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\" align=\"left\">Current HERNEXEOS Dose</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">First Reduction</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">Second Reduction</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">180 mg</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">120 mg</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">60 mg</td></tr><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">120 mg</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">60 mg</td><td styleCode=\"Rrule\">Permanently discontinue</td></tr><tr><td styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\" align=\"left\" colspan=\"3\">Permanently discontinue HERNEXEOS in patients who are unable to tolerate 60 mg once daily.</td></tr></tbody></table>","<table width=\"90%\"><caption>Table 2 Recommended HERNEXEOS Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions</caption><col width=\"25%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"/><col width=\"15%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"/><col width=\"60%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"/><thead><tr styleCode=\"botrule\"><th styleCode=\"Lrule Rrule\">Adverse Reaction</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">Severity*</th><th styleCode=\"Rrule\">Dosage Modification</th></tr></thead><tfoot><tr><td colspan=\"3\" align=\"left\">ALT = alanine aminotransferase;
