Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE TEVIMBRA is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody indicated for: Esophageal Cancer in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (≥1). ( 1.1 ) as a single agent in adults with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after prior systemic chemotherapy that did not include a PD-(L)1 inhibitor. ( 1.1 ) Gastric Cancer in combination with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy in adults for the first line treatment of unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 (≥1).
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended Dosage: Esophageal Cancer 150 mg every 2 weeks or 200 mg every 3 weeks or 300 mg every 4 weeks or 400 mg every 6 weeks in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy for first-line treatment of unresectable or metastatic ESCC. ( 2.2 ) 150 mg every 2 weeks or 200 mg every 3 weeks or 300 mg every 4 weeks or 400 mg every 6 weeks as a single agent for treatment of unresectable or metastatic ESCC. ( 2.2 ) Gastric Cancer 150 mg every 2 weeks or 200 mg every 3 weeks or 300 mg every 4 weeks or 400 mg every 6 weeks in combination with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the label: Severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infusion-related reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥20%), including laboratory abnormalities, were: TEVIMBRA in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy: decreased neutrophil count, decreased sodium, increased glucose, anemia, fatigue, decreased appetite, increased AST, decreased potassium, increased serum creatinine, decreased calcium, increased ALT, diarrhea, stomatitis, and vomiting.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions : ( 5.1 ) Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue, including the following: immune-mediated pneumonitis, immune-mediated colitis, immune-mediated hepatitis, immune-mediated endocrinopathies, immune-mediated nephritis with renal dysfunction, immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, and solid organ transplant rejection. Monitor for early identification and management. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. Withhold or permanently discontinue TEVIMBRA based on the severity of reaction. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, TEVIMBRA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of TEVIMBRA in pregnant women. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death (see Data ) .
Storage
Storage Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) in the original carton to protect from light. Do not freeze. Do not shake.
