ROZLYTREK Coverage
Benefits Investigations
Genentech BioOncology® Access Solutions for ROZLYTREK can conduct a
benefits investigation (BI) to help you determine if a Genentech
medicine is covered, if prior authorizations (PAs) are required, which
specialty pharmacy (SP) the health insurance plan prefers and if
patient assistance might be needed.
Potential outcomes of a BI:
- Treatment is covered
- PA is required
- Treatment is denied
Both the Prescriber Service Form and the Patient Consent Form must
be received before Genentech BioOncology Access Solutions can begin
helping your patient.
These can be downloaded from Forms and Documents or submitted online via My Patient Solutions.
The completion and submission of coverage- or reimbursement-related documentation are the responsibility of the patient and health care provider. Genentech makes no representation or guarantee concerning coverage or reimbursement for any service or item.
Prior Authorization
Genentech BioOncology® Access Solutions for ROZLYTREK can help you
identify if a prior authorization (PA) is necessary and offer
resources as you obtain it for your patient. Both the Prescriber
Service Form and the Patient Consent Form must be received before
Genentech BioOncology Access Solutions can begin helping your
patient.
If your patient’s request for a PA is not granted, your BioOncology Field Reimbursement Manager (BFRM) or Genentech BioOncology Access Solutions Specialist can work with you to determine your next steps. You can find more tips like this in Forms and Documents.

SureStart® Program
With the SureStart Program, eligible patients taking ROZLYTREK may receive free medicine while awaiting an insurance coverage determination.
If you think your patient qualifies for the SureStart Program,
submit the completed Prescriber Service Form and the Patient Consent
Form to Genentech BioOncology® Access Solutions for ROZLYTREK.
Eligible patients can receive a 30-day supply of ROZLYTREK. Once coverage has been determined, the patient no longer qualifies for the SureStart Program.
Important Safety Information & Indication
Indication Statement
ROS1-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
ROZLYTREK is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are ROS1-positive.
NTRK Gene Fusion-Positive Solid Tumors
ROZLYTREK is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with solid tumors that:
- have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (
NTRK ) gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation, - are metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and
- have either progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the confirmatory trials.
Select Important Safety Information
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) prior to initiation of ROZLYTREK in patients with symptoms or known risk factors for CHF. Monitor patients for clinical signs and symptoms of CHF. For patients with myocarditis with or without a decreased ejection fraction, MRI or cardiac biopsy may be required to make the diagnosis. For new onset or worsening CHF, withhold ROZLYTREK, reassess LVEF and institute appropriate medical management. Reduce dose or permanently discontinue ROZLYTREK based on severity of CHF or worsening LVEF.
Central Nervous System (CNS) Effects: CNS adverse reactions including cognitive impairment, mood disorders, dizziness, and sleep disturbances can occur with ROZLYTREK. Withhold and then resume at same or reduced dose upon improvement or permanently discontinue ROZLYTREK based on severity.
Skeletal Fractures: ROZLYTREK increases the risk of fractures. Promptly evaluate patients with signs or symptoms of fractures.
Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver tests, including ALT and AST, every 2 weeks during the first month of treatment, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold or permanently discontinue ROZLYTREK based on severity. If withheld, resume ROZLYTREK at same or reduced dose based on severity.
Hyperuricemia: Assess serum uric acid levels prior to initiation and periodically during treatment with ROZLYTREK. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hyperuricemia. Initiate treatment with urate-lowering medications as clinically indicated and withhold ROZLYTREK for signs and symptoms of hyperuricemia. Resume at same or reduced dose upon improvement based on severity.
QT Interval Prolongation: Monitor patients who have or who are at risk for QTc interval prolongation. Assess QT interval and electrolytes at baseline and periodically during treatment. Withhold and then resume at same or reduced dose or permanently discontinue ROZLYTREK based on severity.
Vision Disorders: Withhold for new visual changes or changes that interfere with activities of daily living until improvement or stabilization. Conduct an ophthalmological evaluation as appropriate. Resume at same or reduced dose upon improvement or stabilization.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: ROZLYTREK can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception.
Most Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue (48%), constipation (46%), dysgeusia (44%), edema (40%), dizziness (38%), diarrhea (35%), nausea (34%), dysesthesia (34%), dyspnea (30%), myalgia (28%), cognitive impairment (27%), increased weight (25%), cough (24%), vomiting (24%), pyrexia (21%), arthralgia (21%), and vision disorders (21%).
