Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE PADCEV ® , in combination with pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph, as neoadjuvant treatment and then continued after cystectomy as adjuvant treatment, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. PADCEV ® , in combination with pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC).
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • For intravenous infusion only. Do not administer PADCEV as an intravenous push or bolus. Do not mix with, or administer as an infusion with, other medicinal products. ( 2.3 ) • MIBC: The recommended dose of PADCEV in combination with pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph is 1.25 mg/kg (up to a maximum dose of 125 mg) given as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes. PADCEV is administered as neoadjuvant treatment on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for 3 cycles or until disease progression that precludes curative intent cystectomy or unacceptable toxicity, followed by adjuvant treatment on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for 6 cycles or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Skin Reactions [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] • Pneumonitis/Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] • Ocular Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Infusion Site Extravasation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] The most common adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, (≥20%) were: • PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC: increased glucose, decreased hemoglobin, increased aspartate aminotransferase, rash, increased alanine aminotransferase, fatigue, p...
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Concomitant use of dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors with PADCEV may increase the exposure to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on PADCEV Dual P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant use with dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase unconjugated MMAE exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the incidence or severity of PADCEV toxicities. Closely monitor patients for signs of toxicity when PADCEV is given concomitantly with dual P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Warnings
WARNING: SERIOUS SKIN REACTIONS • PADCEV can cause severe and fatal cutaneous adverse reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), which occurred predominantly during the first cycle of treatment, but may occur later. • Closely monitor patients for skin reactions. • Immediately withhold PADCEV and consider referral for specialized care for suspected SJS or TEN or severe skin reactions. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hyperglycemia: Diabetic ketoacidosis may occur in patients with and without preexisting diabetes mellitus, which may be fatal. Closely monitor blood glucose levels in patients with, or at risk for, diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia. Withhold PADCEV if blood glucose is >250 mg/dL. ( 2.2 , 5.2 ) • Pneumonitis/Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): Severe, life-threatening or fatal pneumonitis/ILD may occur. Withhold PADCEV for Grade 2 pneumonitis/ILD and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue PADCEV for Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis/ILD. ( 2.2 , 5.3 ) • Peripheral Neuropathy: Monitor patients for new or worsening peripheral neuropathy and consider dose interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of PADCEV. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action and findings in animals, PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are no available human data on PADCEV use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk.
