Safety Report: Bayer Vitrakvi (larotrectinib) Oral Solution - recalled due to microbial contamination, USA

7 months ago source fda.gov

Recall notice

United States

Bayer is voluntarily recalling one lot of Vitrakvi® (larotrectinib) Oral Solution 20 mg/mL in 100mL glass bottles to the consumer/user level. The product is being recalled due to microbial contamination identified as Penicillium brevicompactum observed during routine ongoing stability testing. It was distributed to wholesale distributors and specialty pharmacies nationwide between January 3, 2023, and February 13, 2023. To date, Bayer has not received any adverse events related to this recall.

Risk Statement: Vitrakvi® is indicated for the treatment of solid tumors that are NTRK gene fusion positive, it is expected that patients on Vitrakvi® may be immunocompromised. Although there is little data in the literature on human pathology caused by Penicillium brevicompactum, there are cases of invasive disease caused by similar Penicillium species, particularly in patients with underlying immunosuppression. Therefore, there is a reasonable probability that ingestion of Penicillium brevicompactum in patients on Vitrakvi® with underlying immunosuppression may result in invasive fungal infections of the blood or pneumonia that can be life-threatening.

The impacted lot of Vitrakvi® is packaged in a 100mL glass bottle with NDC# 50419-392-01 and is identified with Lot# 2114228 and an expiration date of February 29, 2024. Product bottle and carton label images and information on the lot number that falls under this recall is attached

Bayer notified all distributors and pharmacies of this recall on November 8, 2023. Bayer has engaged Qualanex to manage the recall of the product down to the consumer level. Qualanex has notified Vitrakvi® distributors via a recall notification letter and will arrange for the return of the recalled lot from distributors, specialty pharmacies, and consumers.

Consumers who have the recalled Vitrakvi® product should immediately stop use of this particular lot of product and contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have any questions, concerns or have experienced any problems related to Vitrakvi® Oral Solution 20 mg/mL.

In case you experience harm from this product, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
