Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Interstitial Lung Disease / Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] QT Interval Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Hemorrhagic Events [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Tumor Lysis Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] Risk of Impaired Wound Healing [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Hypothyroidism [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis/Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis in Adolescent Patients [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )] The most common adverse reactions (≥25%) include: Adult patients with solid tumors: edema, diarrhea, fatigue, dry mouth, hypertension, abdominal pain, constipation, rash, nausea, and headache.
( 6 ) Pediatric patients with solid tumors: musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, hemorrhage, pyrexia, abdominal pain, headache, vomiting, fatigue, cough, rash, coronavirus infection, upper respiratory tract infection, and edema.
( 6 ) The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥5%) include: Adult patients with solid tumors: decreased lymphocytes, increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), decreased sodium, and decreased calcium.
( 6 ) Pediatric patients with solid tumors: decreased lymphocytes, decreased calcium, decreased hemoglobin, decreased neutrophils, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased magnesium, and decreased potassium.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety population described in the WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to RETEVMO as a single agent administered at 160 mg orally twice daily evaluated in 796 patients with advanced solid tumors in LIBRETTO-001 [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
RET Gene Fusion or Gene Mutation Positive Solid Tumors LIBRETTO-001 Among the 796 patients who received RETEVMO, 84% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 73% were exposed for greater than one year.
Among these patients, 96% received at least one dose of RETEVMO at the recommended dosage of 160 mg orally twice daily.
The median age was 59 years (range: 15 to 92 years);
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hepatotoxicity : Monitor ALT and AST prior to initiating RETEVMO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated.
Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity.
( 2.5 , 5.1 ) Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis : Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms.
Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue RETEVMO based on severity.
( 2.5 , 5.2 ) Hypertension: Do not initiate RETEVMO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
Like all medications, Retevmo can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
