2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dosage of GOMEKLI is 2 mg/m 2 orally twice daily, with or without food, for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle. Continue treatment with GOMEKLI until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2 ) 2.1 Recommended Evaluation and Testing Before Initiating GOMEKLI Prior to administration of GOMEKLI: conduct comprehensive ophthalmic assessment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. assess ejection fraction (EF) by echocardiogram [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. 2.2 GOMEKLI Dosage Form Overview GOMEKLI is available in 2 dosage forms: capsules or tablets for oral suspension. GOMEKLI capsules: must be swallowed whole, do not open, break or chew capsules. GOMEKLI tablets for oral suspension: can be swallowed whole or can be dispersed in drinking water and administered orally as a liquid [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. 2.3 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of GOMEKLI is 2 mg/m 2 orally twice daily (approximately every 12 hours) with or without food for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle. The maximum dose is 4 mg twice daily. Continue treatment with GOMEKLI until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The recommended dose of GOMEKLI is based on body surface area (BSA) as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Recommended Dosage for GOMEKLI Body Surface Area (m 2 ) * Recommended Dosage for Capsules or Tablets for Oral Suspension 0.40 to 0.69 1 mg twice daily 0.70 to 1.04 2 mg twice daily 1.05 to 1.49 3 mg twice daily ≥1.50 4 mg twice daily * The recommended dosage for patients with a BSA less than 0.40 m 2 has not been established. Missed dose: If the patient misses a dose of GOMEKLI, do not take an additional dose. Take the next scheduled dose at the prescribed time. Vomiting: If vomiting occurs after GOMEKLI administration, do not take an additional dose. Take the next scheduled dose at the prescribed time. 2.4 GOMEKLI Preparation and Administration Instructions GOMEKLI Capsules Swallow GOMEKLI capsules whole with or without food. If more than one capsule is required for a dose, swallow one capsule at a time. Do not open, break or chew capsules. Do not administer to patients who are unable to swallow a whole capsule [see GOMEKLI Tablets for Oral Suspension]. GOMEKLI Tablets for Oral Suspension GOMEKLI tablets for oral suspension can be swallowed whole with or without food. If more than one tablet is required for a dose, swallow one tablet at a time.

Preparation and Administration Add the prescribed number of tablets to a dosing cup containing approximately 5 mL to 10 mL of drinking water. Gently swirl the water and tablets until the tablets are fully dispersed and an oral suspension is obtained. It takes approximately two to four minutes to fully disperse the tablets. Once the tablets are...
Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Ocular Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Left Ventricular Dysfunction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Dermatologic Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Embryo-Fetal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Adults: The most common adverse reactions (>25%) were rash, diarrhea, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, vomiting, and fatigue. ( 6.1 ) The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormality (>2%) was increased creatine phosphokinase. ( 6.1 ) Pediatric patients: The most common adverse reactions (>25%) were rash, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, paronychia, left ventricular dysfunction, and nausea. ( 6.1 ) The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (>2%) were decreased neutrophil count and increased creatine phosphokinase. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact SpringWorks Therapeutics Inc. at 1-888-400-7989 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 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 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/m 2 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. Neurofibromatosis Type 1-Associated Plexiform Neurofibromas The safety of GOMEKLI was evaluated in the ReNeu study [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Eligible patients were 2 years of age and older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who had symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas (PN). Patients were excluded for abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), uncontrolled hypertension, alanine transaminase (ALT) value of >2 × upper limit of normal (ULN), any current or history of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or retinal pigment epithelium detachment (RPED), intraocular pressure >21 mmHg (or upper limit of normal adjusted by age), and history of glaucoma. 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. Adult Patients The median age of adult patients (age ≥18) who received GOMEKLI was 35 years (range: 18-69); 64% were female; 85% were White, 9% were Black or African American, 3.4% were Asian, 3.4% were other races or race not reported; and 1.7% were Hispanic or Latino. For adult patients treated with GOMEKLI, the median duration of treatment was 22 months (range: 0.4 to 46 months). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 17% of adult patients who received GOMEKLI. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥1% of patients were COVID-19 (3.4%), nephrolithiasis (3.4%), and in 1 patient each: acute kidney injury, abdominal pain, ischemic colitis, urinary tract infection, retinal vein occlusion, scoliosis, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, cerebrovascular accident and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. One fatal adverse reaction occurred in an adult patient (1.7%) who received GOMEKLI, due to COVID-19. Permanent discontinuation of GOMEKLI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 22% of adult patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of GOMEKLI in ≥1% of adult patients were rash, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, alopecia, dry skin, left ventricular dysfunction, cough, wheezing, COVID-19, peripheral swelling, RVO,...

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
8.1 Pregnancy 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/m 2 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/m 2 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/m 2 twice daily based on BSA). Two animals had spontaneous abortions at the 1 mg/kg dose on Days 20 and 23. Mirdametinib caused...
