Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

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 immune-mediated pancreatitis. o Monitor for early identification and management. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone level and thyroid function at baseline and before each dose. o Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity and type of reaction. • Infusion-Related Reactions: Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion, or permanently discontinue treatment based on the severity of the reaction. ( 5.2 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions IMJUDO is a monoclonal antibody that blocks T-cell inhibitory signals induced by the CTLA-4 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response. In combination with durvalumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, these drugs have the potential for induction of immune-mediated adverse reactions. Immune-mediated adverse reactions listed herein may not be inclusive of all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions. Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment, immune-mediated adverse reactions can also manifest after discontinuation of IMJUDO and/or durvalumab. Early identification and management of immune-mediated adverse reactions are essential to ensure safe use of IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab. Monitor for signs and symptoms that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate clinical chemistries including liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level, and thyroid function at baseline and before each dose. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMJUDO and durvalumab depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . In general, if combination of IMJUDO and durvalumab requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy. Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below. Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis, which may be fatal. IMJUDO with Durvalumab Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 1.3% (5/388) of patients receiving IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab, including fatal (0.3%) and Grade 3 (0.2%) adverse reactions. Events resolved in 3 of the 5 patients and resulted in permanent discontinuation in 1 patient. Systemic corticosteroids were required in all patients; of these, 4 patients required high-dose corticosteroid treatment (at least 40 mg prednisone or equivalent per day). One patient (1/5) required other immunosuppressants. IMJUDO with Durvalumab and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 3.5% (21/596) of patients receiving IMJUDO in combination wit …

Adverse Reactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling. • Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . • Infusion-Related Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) of patients with uHCC are rash, diarrhea, fatigue, pruritus, musculoskeletal pain, and abdominal pain. Most common laboratory abnormalities (≥ 40%) of patients with uHCC are AST increased, ALT increased, hemoglobin decreased, sodium decreased, bilirubin increased, alkaline phosphatase increased, and lymphocytes decreased. ( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) of patients with metastatic NSCLC were nausea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, decreased appetite, rash, and diarrhea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AstraZeneca at 1-800-236-9933 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described in the Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to IMJUDO 300 mg in combination with durvalumab 1,500 mg in 388 patients in HIMALAYA. In the HIMALAYA study patients received IMJUDO 300 mg administered as a single intravenous infusion in combination with durvalumab 1,500 mg on the same day, followed by durvalumab every 4 weeks. The data also reflects exposure to IMJUDO 75 mg in combination with durvalumab 1,500 mg and histology-based platinum chemotherapy regimens in the pooled safety population (N=596) of 330 patients in POSEIDON [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] , and 266 patients in CASPIAN who received up to four cycles of platinum-etoposide plus durvalumab 1,500 mg with tremelimumab-actl 75 mg every 3 weeks, followed by durvalumab 1,500 mg every 4 weeks (an unapproved regimen for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer). Of these patients, 64% received the maximum of 5 doses of IMJUDO and 79% received at least 4 doses. In this pooled safety population, the most common (> 20%) adverse reactions were nausea (37%), decreased appetite (25%), and fatigue (22%). In this pooled safety population, the most common Grade 3 or 4 (> 10%) laboratory abnormalities were neutropenia (39%), leukopenia (21%), lymphocytopenia (20%), anemia (20%), hyponatremia (14%), lipase increased (12%), and thrombocytopenia (11%). The data described in this section reflect exposure to IMJUDO in patients with uHCC included in the HIMALAYA study and in patients with metastatic NSCLC enrolled in the POSEIDON study. Hepatocellular Carcinoma Unresectable HCC - HIMALAYA The safety of IMJUDO administered in combination with durvalumab was evaluated in a total of 388 patients with uHCC in HIMALAYA, a randomized, open-label, multicenter study [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients received IMJUDO 300 mg administered as a single intravenous infusion in combination with durvalumab 1,500 mg on the same day, followed by durvalumab every 4 weeks or sorafenib 400 mg given orally twice daily. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients who received IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab. Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients included hemorrhage (6%), diarrhea (4%), sepsis (2.1%), pneumonia (2.1%), rash (1.5%), vomiting (1.3%), acute kidney injury (1.3%), and anemia (1.3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 8% of patients who received IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab, including death (1%), hemorrhage intracranial (0.5%), cardiac arrest (0.5%), pneumonitis (0.5%), hepatic failure (0.5%), and immune-mediated hepatitis (0.5%). The most common adverse reactions (occurring in ≥ 20% of patients) were rash, diarrhea, fatigue, pruritus, musculoskeletal pain, and abdominal pain. Permanent discontinuation of the treatment regimen due to an adverse …

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, IMJUDO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of IMJUDO in pregnant women. In animal studies, CTLA-4 blockade is associated with increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus and fetal death ( see Data ). Human immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) is known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, IMJUDO has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In a reproduction study, administration of tremelimumab-actl to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis was not associated with maternal toxicity or effects on embryo-fetal development at exposure levels approximately 4 to 31-times higher than those observed at a recommended dose range of 75 mg to 300 mg based on area under the curve (AUC). CTLA-4 plays a role in maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus to preserve pregnancy and in immune regulation of the newborn. In a murine model of pregnancy, CTLA-4 blockade resulted in increased resorptions and reduced live fetuses. Mated genetically engineered mice heterozygous for CTLA-4 (CTLA-4+/-) gave birth to CTLA-4+/- offspring and offspring deficient in CTLA-4 (homozygous negative, CTLA-4-/-) that appeared healthy at birth. The CTLA-4-/- homozygous negative offspring developed signs of a lymphoproliferative disorder and died by 3 to 4 weeks of age with multiorgan tissue destruction. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to tremelimumab-actl may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of tremelimumab-actl in human milk, its effects on a breastfed child, or on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed child to IMJUDO are unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with IMJUDO and for 3 months after the last dose. Refer to the Prescribing Information for agents administered in combination with IMJUDO for breastfeeding recommendations, as appropriate. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential IMJUDO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with IMJUDO. Contraception Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IMJUDO and for 3 months after the last dose. Refer to the Prescribing Information for the agents administered in combination with IMJUDO for recommended contraception duration, as appropriate. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of IMJUDO have not been established in pediatric patients. Safety and efficacy were assessed but not established in a multi-center, open-label study (NCT03837899) in which 41 pediatric patients aged 1 to < 17 years with advanced solid tumors received IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab. No new safety signals were observed in pediatric patients in this study. Tremelimumab-actl systemic exposure in pediatric patients ≥ 35 kg was within the range of the values previously observed in adults given the same weight-based dose, whereas the systemic exposure in pediatric patients < 35 kg was lower than that of adults. 8.5 Geriatr …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action CTLA-4 is a negative regulator of T-cell activity. Tremelimumab-actl is a monoclonal antibody that binds to CTLA-4 and blocks the interaction with its ligands CD80 and CD86, releasing CTLA-4-mediated inhibition of T-cell activation. In synergistic mouse tumor models, blocking CTLA-4 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth and increased proliferation of T cells in tumors.

A report count is not a risk measure. FAERS accepts voluntary and mandatory reports without establishing causation, and reporting is influenced by how widely a drug is used, how long it has been marketed, and media attention. FDA states that reports “do not prove that the drug caused the event”. Compare rates, not totals.

Attributed to this product's most-reported active ingredient: TREMELIMUMAB. Combination products with more than six active ingredients are not attributed, because a report count summed across a long ingredient list measures the list, not the medicine.
