VIMSELTINIB CAP,ORAL
Clinical Criteria Summary
Document 877: Vimseltinib ROMVIMZA Criteria Jun 2026
Exclusion Criteria
- Known severe allergy to FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) and/or No. 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF)
- Baseline ALT, AST, total bilirubin above the upper limit of normal
- Active liver or biliary tract disease, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or cirrhosis
- Active or uncontrolled infection
- Unmanageable drug interaction
- Pregnancy
- Lactating
Inclusion Criteria
- Care provided by a VA / VA Community Care oncologist or locally designated expert
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic, nonmetastatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT)
- TGCT is not amenable to improvement with surgery or surgical resection likely to cause worsening functional limitation or severe morbidity
- No improvement after 12 weeks of imatinib; disease progression on imatinib or imatinib is medically inadvisable (i.e. contraindication, unmanageable toxicity, etc.)
Reproductive & Lactation Management
- For females who can become pregnant: Pregnancy should be excluded prior to receiving vimseltinib
- For females who can become pregnant and males with partners who can become pregnant: Counseling provided on potential risks vs benefits of treatment and the use of effective contraception during therapy and for 1 month after stopping treatment
- For females who are lactating / providing breastmilk to an infant: Advise not to breastfeed during therapy and for 1 month after stopping treatment
Document 878: MON Vimseltinib ROMVIMZA Monograph Jun 2026
Indication & Patient Selection
- Adults with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT)
- Disease for which surgical resection will potentially cause worsening functional limitation or severe morbidity
- Histologically confirmed TGCT
- ≥ 1 lesion measuring ≥ 2 cm in size
Dosing & Administration
- 30 mg orally twice weekly, with a minimum of 72 hours between doses, on the same days each week
- Modify dosage for adverse reactions including hepatotoxicity
- Avoid concomitant use with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates if possible; otherwise administer vimseltinib at least 4 hours before P-gp substrates
- Avoid BCRP and OCT2 substrates
Pretreatment Requirements
- Assess liver tests, including AST, ALT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALP, and GGT
- Verify pregnancy status in women of reproductive potential
- Advise pregnant women on the potential risk to the fetus
- Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 month after the last dose
- Advise lactating women not to breastfeed/provide breastmilk to infants
Treatment Monitoring
- Liver tests twice a month for the first 2 months and once every 3 months for the first year, then as clinically indicated
- Monitor renal function using measures other than serum creatinine due to drug-lab interaction
- Note: Increased serum creatinine may occur without affecting actual renal function
Safety, Warnings & Hepatic Impairment
- No boxed warnings or contraindications
- Hepatotoxicity warning; modify dosage for adverse reactions including hepatotoxicity
- Embryofetal toxicity warning; can cause fetal harm with animal studies showing fetal structural abnormalities including skeletal variations and cardiac malformations
- Allergic reactions to FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) and No. 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF); tartrazine sensitivity often seen in patients with aspirin sensitivity
- Mild hepatic impairment: No dosage adjustment recommended
- Moderate or severe hepatic impairment: Not studied
Therapeutic Position & Alternatives
- NCCN Guidelines: Preferred regimen (Category 1) for symptomatic TGCT associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations not amenable to surgical improvement
- May be used in patients with inadequate response, intolerance, or medical inadvisability to imatinib
