Simply take your next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Be sure to write down if you miss a dose and let your care provider know about any missed doses. Storage and handling Handle osimertinib with care. Just like when chemotherapy is given into the vein, this drug can be toxic, and exposure of the drug to others should be limited. Store osimertinib at room temperature 68°F–77°F in a dry location away from light. Keep osimertinib out of reach of children and pets. Leave osimertinib in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, you should give osimertinib to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give the osimertinib to you, they also need to follow these steps: 1. Wash hands with soap and water. 2. Put on gloves to avoid touching the medication. Gloves are not necessary if you give the drug to yourself. 3. Gently transfer the osimertinib from its package to a small medicine or other disposable cup. 4. Administer the medicine immediately by mouth with water. 5. Remove gloves and do not use them for anything else. 6. Throw gloves and medicine cup in household trash. 7. Wash hands with soap and water. OSIMERTINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 If a daily pill box or pill reminder is used, a separate one should be used for osimertinib. Do not mix other medications into the box with osimertinib. The person filling the box or reminder should wear gloves. Gloves are not necessary if you are filling the box or reminder. When empty, the box or reminder should be washed with soap and water before refilling. Be sure to wash hands with soap and water after the task is complete, whether or not gloves are worn. If you have any unused osimertinib, do not throw it in the trash and do not flush it down the sink or toilet. Talk to your care provider or pharmacist about proper disposal of osimertinib. If you are traveling, put your osimertinib in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Osimertinib remains in your body for several days after it is taken, so some of the drug may be present in urine, stool, sweat, or vomit. Once you have started to take osimertinib, it is important to follow the instructions below every day for as long as your treatment lasts. This will keep yourself, loved ones, and the environment as safe as possible. Pregnant women should avoid touching anything that may be soiled with body fluids from the patient. Toilet and septic systems You may use the same toilet, septic tank, and/or sewer that you usually use. If you have a low flow toilet, close the lid and flush twice to ensure all waste has been discarded. If the toilet or toilet seat becomes soiled with urine, stool, or vomit, clean the surfaces before other people use the toilet. Wash hands with soap and water after using the toilet. If you need a bedpan, be sure your caregiver knows to wear gloves to assist with cleanup and to wash the bedpan with soap and water every day. If you do not have good control of bladder or bowels, use a disposable pad with a plastic back, a diaper, or a sheet to absorb body waste. Wash any skin that has been exposed to body waste or osimertinib with soap and water. Linens or clothing that are soiled with body fluids or body waste should be washed separately from other linens and clothing. If you do not have a washer, place the soiled linens in a plastic bag until they can be washed. Wash hands with soap and water after touching linens or clothing that may be soiled with body fluids. Drug and food interactions Osimertinib has many drug interactions. Inform your care providers of all prescription medications, over the counter medications, vitamins, and herbal products.

Page 1 PEMIGATINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Name of your medication Generic name — pemigatinib (PEH mih GA tih nib) Brand name — Pemazyre™ (PEH muh zeer) Approved uses Pemigatinib is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or other rearrangement as detected by an FDA approved test. Dose and schedule Taking pemigatinib as instructed is important to allow your treatment to be as effective as possible, so here are some key points to remember. Your dose may vary, but the usual dose of pemigatinib is 13.5 mg orally once daily for 14 consecutive days, followed by 7 days off therapy in 21 day cycles. Pemigatinib can be taken with or without food, but should be taken at the same time each day. Pemigatinib should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow pemigatinib, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. If you miss a dose of pemigatinib, follow these guidelines: • You can take the missed dose within 4 hours on the same day. If more than 4 hours have passed, do not make up the dose. Take your regular dose of pemigatinib the next day at the usual time. • Do not take more pemigatinib than prescribed to make up for the missed dose. • If you vomit after taking pemigatinib, do not take another pemigatinib tablet. Take your regular dose of pemigatinib the next day at the usual time. • Be sure to write down if you miss a dose, and let your care provider know about any missed doses. Drug and food interactions Pemigatinib has many drug interactions. Please inform your care providers of all prescription medications, over the counter medications, vitamins, and herbal products. Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may interact with pemigatinib. Avoid eating or drinking these during treatment with pemigatinib. Talk with your care provider or pharmacist before taking new medications or supplements, or receiving any vaccines. Storage and handling Handle pemigatinib with care. Just like when chemotherapy is given into the vein, this drug can be toxic, and exposure of the drug to others should be limited. Store pemigatinib at room temperature (68°F–77°F) in a dry location away from light. Keep pemigatinib out of reach of children and pets. PEMIGATINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 Whenever possible, you should give pemigatinib to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give the pemigatinib to you, they also need to follow these steps. 1. Wash hands with soap and water. 2.

Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may interact with pexidartinib; avoid eating or drinking this during treatment with pexidartinib. Talk with your care provider or pharmacist before taking new medications or supplements, or receiving any vaccines. Pexidartinib should be taken without food. Medications that decrease stomach acid may decrease pexidartinib concentrations. Avoid use with proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole [Prilosec®], esomeprazole [Nexium®]), if possible. As an alternative, you may use an antacid or a histamine blocker if separated from pexidartinib. If taken with a histamine blocker (e.g., ranitidine [Zantac®], famotidine [Pepcid®]), take pexidartinib 10 hours after the histamine blocker and at least 2 hours prior to the next histamine blocker dose. If taken with an antacid (e.g. calcium carbonate [Tums®], aluminum hydroxide, [Rolaids®]), take pexidartinib 2 hours before or 2 hours after the antacid.” PEXIDARTINIB ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 Storage and handling Handle pexidartinib with care.
