( 2.3 ) Perform HER2 testing using FDA-approved tests by laboratories with demonstrated proficiency. ( 1 , 2.2 ) Adjuvant Treatment of HER2-Overexpressing Breast Cancer ( 2.2 ) Administer at either: • Initial dose of 4 mg/kg over 90 minutes intravenous infusion, then 2 mg/kg over 30 minutes intravenous infusion weekly for 12 weeks (with paclitaxel or docetaxel) or 18 weeks (with docetaxel and carboplatin).

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label: • Cardiomyopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Infusion Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Pulmonary Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Adjuvant Breast Cancer • Most common adverse reactions (≥ 5%) are headache, diarrhea, nausea, and chills. ( 6.1 ) Metastatic Breast Cancer • Most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) are fever, chills, headache, infection, congestive heart failure, insomnia, cough, and rash.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Anthracyclines Patients who receive anthracycline after stopping trastuzumab products may be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction because of trastuzumab products estimated long washout period [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . If possible, avoid anthracycline-based therapy for up to 7 months after stopping trastuzumab products. If anthracyclines are used, closely monitor the patient's cardiac function.

Warnings

WARNING: CARDIOMYOPATHY, INFUSION REACTIONS, EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY, and PULMONARY TOXICITY WARNING: CARDIOMYOPATHY, INFUSION REACTIONS, EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY, and PULMONARY TOXICITY See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning Cardiomyopathy: Trastuzumab products can result in subclinical and clinical cardiac failure manifesting as CHF, and decreased LVEF, with greatest risk when administered concurrently with anthracyclines. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia. ( 5.5 , 6.1 ) 5.1 Cardiomyopathy Trastuzumab products can cause left ventricular cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, hypertension, disabling cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac death [see Boxed Warning ] . Trastuzumab products can also cause asymptomatic decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). There is a 4 to 6 fold increase in the incidence of symptomatic myocardial dysfunction among patients receiving trastuzumab products as a single agent or in combination therapy compared with those not receiving trastuzumab products. The highest absolute incidence occurs when a trastuzumab product is administered with an anthracycline. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. • None. ( 4 )

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Trastuzumab products can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In post-marketing reports and published literature, use of trastuzumab products during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and of oligohydramnios sequence, manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death (see Data ) . Apprise the patient of the potential risks to a fetus.
