4.1Clinical 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 pooled safety population described in Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to the AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK (combination of AVMAPKI 3.2 mg twice weekly and FAKZYNJA 200 mg twice daily) for the first 3 weeks in a 4-week cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in 136 adult patients with recurrent LGSOC treated on RAMP-201 and FRAME (NCT03875820). The median duration of treatment was 10 months (range 0 to 51 months).

Avutometinib potassium is a white to pale yellow powder. It is practically insoluble in the pH range of 1 to 7 in aqueous media. The pKa is 7.02.
AVMAPKI capsules for oral administration contain 0.8 mg of avutometinib (equivalent to 0.864 mg as the avutometinib potassium salt) with the following inactive ingredients: magnesium stearate and mannitol in a hypromellose capsule shell (carrageenan, hypromellose, potassium chloride, purified water, and titanium oxide) printed with black ink (black iron oxide, butyl alcohol, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, purified water, shellac, and strong ammonia solution).
FAKZYNJA tablets contain defactinib, a kinase inhibitor. The chemical name of defactinib is N-methyl-4-({4-[({3-methyl(methylsulfonyl)aminopyrazin-2-yl}methyl)amino]-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl}amino)benzamide hydrochloride. The molecular formula for defactinib is C
Defactinib hydrochloride is a white to pale yellow powder. It is very slightly soluble at pH 1 and practically insoluble in the pH range of 4.5 to 6.8 in aqueous media. The pKa is 3.81.
FAKZYNJA tablets are available for oral administration.

6CLINICAL STUDIES
The efficacy of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK was evaluated in RAMP-201 (NCT04625270), an open-label, multicenter study that included 57 adult patients with measurable
Patients received AVMAPKI 3.2 mg orally twice weekly for the first 3 weeks out of a 4-week cycle and FAKZYNJA 200 mg orally twice daily for the first 3 weeks out of a 4-week cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR) assessed by blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. An additional efficacy outcome measure was duration of response (DoR). Tumor response assessments occurred every 8 weeks for the first 72 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter.
The median age was 60 years (range: 29 to 87); 75% were White, 3.5% were Asian, 3.5% were Black or African American, and 18% did not have race reported; 3.5% of patients were Hispanic or Latino; 72% had an ECOG PS of 0 and 28% had ECOG PS of 1. The
Efficacy results are presented in Table 5.
