*Per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v. 5.0).
GOMEKLI can cause ocular toxicity including retinal vein occlusion (RVO), retinal pigment epithelium detachment (RPED), and blurred vision.
In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ocular toxicity occurred in 25% of patients treated with GOMEKLI: 20% were Grade 1 reactions, 3.8% were Grade 2 reactions, and 0.8% were Grade 3 reactions.
Adult Patients
In the adult pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ocular toxicity occurred in 28% of patients treated with GOMEKLI: 21% were Grade 1 reactions, 5% were Grade 2 reactions and 1.3% were Grade 3 reactions. Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) occurred in 2.7% of adult patients, including one Grade 3 reaction which required permanent discontinuation of GOMEKLI. RPED occurred in one adult patient (1.3%). Blurred vision occurred in 9% of adult patients treated with GOMEKLI.
Pediatric Patients
In the pediatric pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], ocular toxicity occurred in 19% of patients: 17% were Grade 1 and 1.7% were Grade 2.
Conduct comprehensive ophthalmic assessments prior to initiating GOMEKLI, at regular intervals during treatment, and to evaluate any new or worsening visual changes such as blurred vision. Continue, withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue GOMEKLI as clinically indicated [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
GOMEKLI can cause left ventricular dysfunction. Treatment with GOMEKLI has not been studied in patients with a history of clinically significant cardiac disease or LVEF <55% prior to initiation of treatment.
In the ReNeu study, in adult and pediatric patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], decreased LVEF of 10 to <20% occurred in 20%, and decreased LVEF of ≥20% occurred in 0.9% of patients treated with GOMEKLI. All patients with decreased LVEF were identified during routine echocardiography. Decreased LVEF resolved in 75% of these patients.
Adult Patients
In adult patients in the ReNeu study [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], decreased LVEF of 10 to <20% occurred in 16% of adult patients treated with GOMEKLI. Of the adult patients with decreased LVEF, five patients (9%) required dose interruption, one patient (1.7%) required a dose reduction and one patient required permanent discontinuation of GOMEKLI. The median time to first onset of decreased LVEF in adult patients was 70 days.
Pediatric Patients
In pediatric patients in the ReNeu study [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], decreased LVEF of 10 to <20% occurred in 25%, and decreased LVEF of ≥20% occurred in 1.8% of patients treated with GOMEKLI. Of the pediatric patients with decreased LVEF, one patient (1.8%) required dose interruption of GOMEKLI. The median time to first onset of decreased LVEF in pediatric patients was 132 days.
Before initiating GOMEKLI, assess ejection fraction (EF) by echocardiogram. Monitor EF every 3 months during the first year and then as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue GOMEKLI based on the severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
GOMEKLI can cause dermatologic adverse reactions including rash.
In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], rash occurred in 84% of patients treated with GOMEKLI: 31% were Grade 2, and 6% were Grade 3. The most frequent rashes (≥2%) included dermatitis acneiform (65%), rash (11%), eczema (8%), maculo-papular rash (4.5%) and pustular rash (3.8%).
Adult Patients
In the pooled adult safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], rash occurred in 92% of patients treated with GOMEKLI: 37% were Grade 2 and 8% were Grade 3 reactions. Rash requiring permanent discontinuation of GOMEKLI occurred in 11% of adult patients.
Pediatric Patients
In the pooled pediatric safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], rash occurred in 72% of patients treated with GOMEKLI: 22% were Grade 2 and 3.4% were Grade 3 reactions.
Rash resulting in permanent discontinuation of GOMEKLI occurred in 3.4% of pediatric patients.
Dermatitis acneiform occurred with a higher frequency in patients aged 12 to 17 years (77%) than those aged 2 to 11 years (16%), while non-acneiform rashes occurred with a higher frequency in patients aged 2 to 11 years (53%) than those aged 12 to 17 years (15%).
Initiate supportive care at first signs of dermatologic adverse reactions. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue GOMEKLI based on severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
Based on findings from clinical trials, animal studies and its mechanism of action, GOMEKLI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In ReNeu, a pregnancy reported 31 days after the last dose of GOMEKLI resulted in a first trimester spontaneous abortion.
In embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of mirdametinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal mortality, structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at doses approximately equivalent to the human clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on body surface area (BSA).
Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of GOMEKLI. 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 GOMEKLI and for 6 weeks after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GOMEKLI and for 3 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
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 pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to GOMEKLI in 133 patients (75 adults and 58 pediatric patients) in the ReNeu study [see Clinical Studies (14)] (n=114) and Study NF-106 (n=19) [NCT-02096471].
Patients received GOMEKLI 2 mg/m2 orally twice daily for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among 133 patients who received GOMEKLI, 62% were exposed for one year or longer, 38% were exposed for 2 years or longer, and 12% were exposed for 3 years or longer.

Risk Summary
Based on findings from clinical trials, animal studies, and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], GOMEKLI can cause fetal harm or loss of pregnancy when administered to a pregnant woman. In embryo-fetal development studies, oral administration of mirdametinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal mortality, structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at doses that were approximately equivalent to the human clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on BSA (see Data). Advise pregnant women 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
Human Data
In ReNeu, a pregnancy reported 31 days after the last dose of GOMEKLI resulted in a first trimester spontaneous abortion.
Animal Data
In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, mirdametinib was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 17) at doses of 0.3, 0.6, 3 or 5 mg/kg/day. Mirdametinib caused post-implantation loss and decreased fetal body weights at doses ≥3 mg/kg/day (≥5 times the human clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on BSA). Multiple malformations, including shortening of limbs and absence or shortening of digits, were observed in one fetus and another with hyperflexion variation at the dose of 3 mg/kg/day.
In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, mirdametinib was administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7 to 19) at doses of 0.3, 1, 3, or 6 mg/kg/day. Maternal toxicity (decreased body weight and moribund condition) was observed at doses ≥1 mg/kg/day (≥3 times the human clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on BSA). Two animals had spontaneous abortions at the 1 mg/kg dose on Days 20 and 23. Mirdametinib caused post-implantation loss at doses ≥0.3 mg/kg/day (approximately equivalent to the human clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on BSA).
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of mirdametinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on a breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with GOMEKLI and for 1 week after the last dose.
GOMEKLI can cause 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 GOMEKLI.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GOMEKLI and for 6 weeks after the last dose.
Males
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GOMEKLI and for 3 months after the last dose.
Infertility
Based on findings in animals, GOMEKLI may impair fertility in females of reproductive potential. The reversibility of the effects on female fertility in animals is unknown [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
The safety and effectiveness of GOMEKLI have been established in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with NF1-PN based on the results of the ReNeu study, a single-arm trial conducted in 58 pediatric patients age ≥2 years [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The ReNeu study demonstrated improvement in overall response rate per REiNS criteria and duration of response.
The safety and effectiveness of GOMEKLI have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 2 years old.
Animal Toxicity Data
In a 3-month repeat-dose toxicology study in rats, oral administration of mirdametinib at doses ≥0.3 mg/kg/day (≥2 times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on AUC) resulted in dysplasia in femoral epiphyseal growth plate, metaphyseal hypocellularity of the bone marrow of long bones, and metaphyseal thickening of bone trabeculae of long bones; male rats were more sensitive to these effects.
Of the 133 patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas (PN) who received GOMEKLI 2 mg/m2 orally twice daily for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, 2 (1.5%) were 65 years of age and older and none were 75 years of age and older. Clinical studies of GOMEKLI did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger adult patients.
No dosage adjustment is required in patients with mild (creatinine clearance: 60-89 mL/min) or moderate (creatinine clearance: 30-59 mL/min) renal impairment. GOMEKLI has not been studied in patients with severe (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
No dosage adjustment is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > ULN, or total bilirubin in 1-1.5 x ULN).
The pharmacokinetics of mirdametinib in patients with moderate (bilirubin >1.5 to 3 x ULN and any AST) or severe (bilirubin >3 x ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment has not been evaluated [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
GOMEKLI capsules and tablets for oral suspension contain mirdametinib, a kinase inhibitor. Mirdametinib is chemically known as (R)-N-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-3,4-difluoro-2-((2- fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino) benzamide. The molecular formula is C16H14 F3IN2O4 and the molecular weight is 482.20 g/mol. The structural formula for mirdametinib is:
Mirdametinib is a white to tan or pink solid with an aqueous solubility of 0.25 mg/mL and a pH of 7.2 in water at 25°C. The molecule has a pKa of 7.96.
GOMEKLI capsules and tablets for oral suspension are immediate release (IR) dosage forms intended for oral administration.
GOMEKLI (mirdametinib) 1 mg and 2 mg capsules contain 1 mg and 2 mg mirdametinib, respectively, in gelatin capsule and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose. The gelatin capsule shell contains FD&C blue #1, gelatin, titanium dioxide, and yellow iron oxide. The capsule is imprinted with white ink that contains butyl alcohol, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, purified water, shellac, strong ammonia solution, and titanium dioxide.
GOMEKLI (mirdametinib) 1 mg tablets for oral suspension contain 1 mg mirdametinib and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, grape flavor, and sucralose. The grape flavor includes corn syrup solids, modified corn starch, and triacetin.
Mirdametinib is an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases 1 and 2 (MEK1/2). MEK1/2 proteins are upstream regulators of the extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) pathway. In vitro, mirdametinib inhibited kinase activity of MEK1 and MEK2 and downstream phosphorylation of ERK.
In a mouse model of NF1, oral dosing of mirdametinib inhibited ERK phosphorylation and reduced neurofibroma tumor volume and proliferation.
Mirdametinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are not fully characterized.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
At approximately six times the steady-state exposure associated with the recommended dose of 2 mg/m2, clinically significant QTc interval prolongation was not observed.

Mirdametinib was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Mirdametinib was not clastogenic in an in vitro human lymphocyte chromosomal aberration assay or in an in vivo rat bone marrow chromosomal aberration assay. Mirdametinib was positive in the in vivo micronucleus assay in rats.
In a dedicated fertility study, male rats were treated with mirdametinib for 28 days before mating with untreated females to Gestational Day 1. Female rats were treated with mirdametinib for 14 days before mating with untreated males to Gestational Day 7. No effects on mating performance or fertility in males or females were observed at doses up to 1 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the human clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on BSA). In a 3-month repeat-dose toxicology study in rats, mirdametinib caused decreased ovarian organ weight and increased follicular cysts associated with decreases in the number of corpora lutea at doses ≥0.3 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 twice daily based on AUC). Findings in male rats included hypoplasia of the spermatogenic epithelium in the testis, decreased content in the epididymis, and inflammation of the prostate at 1 mg/kg (approximately 8-times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 2 mg/m2 based on AUC). The reversibility of effects on ovary and male reproductive organs was not assessed.
The efficacy of GOMEKLI was evaluated in the ReNeu study (NCT03962543), a multicenter, single-arm study in 114 patients ≥2 years of age with symptomatic, inoperable neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated plexiform neurofibromas (PN) causing significant morbidity. An inoperable PN was defined as a PN that cannot be completely surgically removed without risk for substantial morbidity due to: encasement of or close proximity to vital structures, invasiveness, or high vascularity of the PN. Patients received GOMEKLI 2 mg/m2 orally twice daily for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The major efficacy outcome measure was confirmed overall response rate (ORR), defined as the percentage of patients with complete response (disappearance of the target PN) or partial response (≥20% reduction in PN volume). Responses were assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis per Response Evaluation in Neurofibromatosis and Schwannomatosis (REiNS) criteria modified to be confirmed at a subsequent tumor assessment within 2 to 6 months during the 24-cycle treatment phase. A secondary efficacy outcome measure was duration of response for patients who achieved a confirmed response.
Adults
A total of 58 adult patients received GOMEKLI. The median age was 35 years (range 18 to 69 years); 64% were female, 85% were White, 9% were Black or African American, 3.4% were Asian, 3.4% were other races; and 1.7% were Hispanic or Latino. Approximately half of the patients (53%) had a progressing PN at study entry, 7% had prior treatment with a MEK inhibitor and 69% had prior surgery. Morbidities reported in >25% of patients were pain (90%), disfigurement or major deformity (52%), and motor dysfunction (40%).
Pediatric Patients
A total of 56 pediatric patients received GOMEKLI. The median age was 10 years (range: 2 to 17); 54% were female; 66% were White, 20% were Black or African American, 9% were other races, 3.6% were Asian, 1.8% were American Indian or Alaska Native; and 14% were Hispanic or Latino. Most patients (63%) had a progressing PN at study entry, 11% had prior treatment with a MEK inhibitor and 36% had prior surgery. Morbidities reported in >25% of patients were pain (70%), disfigurement or major deformity (50%), and motor dysfunction (27%).
Efficacy results are provided in Table 7. The median time to onset of response was 7.8 months (range: 4 months to 19 months) for the adult cohort and 7.9 months (range: 4.1 months to 18.8 months) for the pediatric cohort.
