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
