11 DESCRIPTION ABECMA is a BCMA-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy product consisting of a patient's own T cells that are harvested and genetically modified ex vivo through transduction with an anti-BCMA02 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) lentiviral vector (LVV). Autologous T cells transduced with the anti-BCMA02 CAR LVV express the anti-BCMA CAR on the T cell surface.

Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ABECMA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after two or more prior lines of therapy including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. ABECMA is a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after two or more prior lines of therapy including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.

Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For autologous use only. For intravenous use only. • Do NOT use a leukodepleting filter. ( 2.2 ) • Administer a lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine before infusion of ABECMA. ( 2.2 ) • Confirm the patient's identity prior to infusion. ( 2.2 ) • Premedicate with acetaminophen and an H 1 -antihistamine. ( 2.2 ) • Avoid prophylactic use of dexamethasone or other systemic corticosteroids. ( 2.2 ) • Confirm availability of tocilizumab prior to infusion. ( 2.2 , 5.2 ) • Dosing of ABECMA is based on the number of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-positive T cells. ( 2.1 ) • The recommended dose range is 300 to 510 × 10 6 CAR-positive T cells. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Dose For autologous use only. For intravenous use only.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Early Death [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Clinical Studies (14) ] • Cytokine Release Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Neurologic Toxicities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)/Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] • Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] • Prolonged Cytopenias [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] • Hypogammaglobulinemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] The most common nonlaboratory adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) include pyrexia, CRS, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections–pathogen unspecified, m...
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions HIV and the lentivirus used to make ABECMA have limited, short spans of identical genetic material (RNA). Therefore, some commercial HIV nucleic acid tests may yield false-positive results in patients who have received ABECMA.
Warnings
WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME, NEUROLOGIC TOXICITIES, HLH/MAS, PROLONGED CYTOPENIA, AND SECONDARY HEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES • Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), including fatal or life-threatening reactions, occurred in patients following treatment with ABECMA. Do not administer ABECMA to patients with active infection or inflammatory disorders. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypersensitivity Reactions : Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions during infusion. ( 5.5 ) • Infections : Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection; treat appropriately. ( 5.6 ) • Prolonged Cytopenias : Patients may exhibit prolonged Grade 3 or higher cytopenias following ABECMA infusion. Monitor blood counts prior to and after ABECMA infusion. ( 5.7 ) • Hypogammaglobulinemia : Monitor and consider immunoglobulin replacement therapy. ( 5.8 ) • Secondary Malignancies : T cell malignancies have occurred following treatment of hematologic malignancies with BCMA- and CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapies, including ABECMA. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with ABECMA use in pregnant women. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with ABECMA to assess whether it can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. It is not known if ABECMA has the potential to be transferred to the fetus. Based on the mechanism of action, if the transduced cells cross the placenta, they may cause fetal toxicity, including plasma cell aplasia or hypogammaglobulinemia.
Storage
Store ABECMA frozen in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen (less than or equal to minus 130°C). Thaw ABECMA prior to infusion [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
