Dosage and Administration

openFDA Drug Labeling

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intravenous (IV) infusion only. Do not administer as an IV push or bolus. KANJINTI has different dosage and administration instructions than subcutaneous trastuzumab products. ( 2.3 ) Do not substitute KANJINTI (trastuzumab-anns) for or with ado-trastuzumab emtansine or fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan. ( 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 IV infusion, then 2 mg/kg over 30 minutes IV infusion weekly for 12 weeks (with paclitaxel or docetaxel) or 18 weeks (with docetaxel and carboplatin). One week after the last weekly dose of KANJINTI, administer 6 mg/kg as an IV infusion over 30−90 minutes every three weeks to complete a total of 52 weeks of therapy, or Initial dose of 8 mg/kg over 90 minutes IV infusion, then 6 mg/kg over 30–90 minutes IV infusion every three weeks for 52 weeks. Metastatic HER2-Overexpressing Breast Cancer ( 2.3 ) Initial dose of 4 mg/kg as a 90 minutes IV infusion followed by subsequent weekly doses of 2 mg/kg as 30 minutes IV infusions. Metastatic HER2-Overexpressing Gastric Cancer ( 2.3 ) Initial dose of 8 mg/kg over 90 minutes IV infusion, followed by 6 mg/kg over 30 to 90 minutes IV infusion every 3 weeks. 2.1 Evaluation and Testing Before Initiating KANJINTI Assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) prior to initiation of KANJINTI and at regular intervals during treatment [see Boxed Warning , Dosage and Administration (2.5) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of KANJINTI [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] . 2.2 Patient Selection Select patients based on HER2 protein overexpression or HER2 gene amplification in tumor specimens [see Indications and Usage (1) and Clinical Studies (14) ] . Assessment of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification should be performed using FDA-approved tests specific for breast or gastric cancers by laboratories with demonstrated proficiency. Information on the FDA-approved tests for the detection of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. Assessment of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification in metastatic gastric cancer should be performed using FDA-approved tests specifically for gastric cancers due to differences in gastric vs. breast histopathology, including incomplete membrane staining and more frequent heterogeneous expression of HER2 seen in gastric cancers. Improper assay performance, including use of suboptimally fixed tissue, failure to utilize specified reagents, deviation from specific assay instructions, and failure to include appropriate controls for assay validation, can lead to unreliable results. 2.3 Recommended Dosage KANJINTI is for intravenous infusion only. Do not administer as an intravenous push or bolus. KANJINTI has different dosage and administration instructions than subcutaneous trastuzumab products. Do not mix KANJINTI with other drugs. Do not substitute KANJINTI (trastuzumab-anns) for or with ado-trastuzumab emtansine or fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan. Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer: Administer according to one of the following doses and schedules for a total of 52 weeks of KANJINTI therapy: During and following paclitaxel, docetaxel, or docetaxel and carboplatin: Initial dose of 4 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion over 90 minutes then at 2 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes weekly during chemotherapy for the first 12 weeks (paclitaxel or docetaxel) or 18 weeks (docetaxel and carboplatin).

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

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: Cardiomyopathy ] . Trastuzumab products can also cause asymptomatic decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). There is a 4–6 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. Withhold KANJINTI for ≥ 16% absolute decrease in LVEF from pre-treatment values or an LVEF value below institutional limits of normal and ≥ 10% absolute decrease in LVEF from pretreatment values [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . The safety of continuation or resumption of trastuzumab products in patients with trastuzumab product-induced left ventricular cardiac dysfunction has not been studied. Patients who receive anthracycline after stopping trastuzumab products may also be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction [see Drug Interactions (7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Cardiac Monitoring Conduct thorough cardiac assessment, including history, physical examination, and determination of LVEF by echocardiogram or MUGA scan. The following schedule is recommended: Baseline LVEF measurement immediately prior to initiation of KANJINTI LVEF measurements every 3 months during and upon completion of KANJINTI Repeat LVEF measurement at 4-week intervals if KANJINTI is withheld for significant left ventricular cardiac dysfunction [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] LVEF measurements every 6 months for at least 2 years following completion of KANJINTI as a component of adjuvant therapy. In NSABP B31, 15% (158/1031) of patients discontinued trastuzumab due to clinical evidence of myocardial dysfunction or significant decline in LVEF after a median follow-up duration of 8.7 years in the AC-TH (anthracycline, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, and trastuzumab) arm. In HERA (one-year trastuzumab treatment), the number of patients who discontinued trastuzumab due to cardiac toxicity at 12.6 months median duration of follow-up was 2.6% (44/1678). In BCIRG006, a total of 2.9% (31/1056) of patients in the TCH (docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab) arm (1.5% during the chemotherapy phase and 1.4% during the monotherapy phase) and 5.7% (61/1068) of patients in the AC-TH arm (1.5% during the chemotherapy phase and 4.2% during the monotherapy phase) discontinued trastuzumab due to cardiac toxicity. Among 64 patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (NSABP B31 and NCCTG N9831) who developed congestive heart failure, one patient died of cardiomyopathy, one patient died suddenly without documented etiology and 33 patients were receiving cardiac medication at last follow-up. Approximately 24% of the surviving patients had recovery to a normal LVEF (defined as ≥ 50%) and no symptoms on continuing medical management at the time of last follow-up. Incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF) is presented in Table 1. The safety of continuation or resumption of trastuzumab products in patients with trastuzumab product-induced left ventricular cardiac dysfunction has not been studied. Table 1.

The most common adverse reactions in patients receiving trastuzumab products in the adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer setting are fever, nausea, vomiting, infusion reactions, diarrhea, infections, increased cough, headache, fatigue, dyspnea, rash, neutropenia, anemia, and myalgia. Adverse reactions requiring interruption or discontinuation of trastuzumab product treatment include CHF, significant decline in left ventricular cardiac function, severe infusion reactions, and pulmonary toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . In the metastatic gastric cancer setting, the most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) that were increased (≥ 5% difference) in the trastuzumab arm as compared to the chemotherapy alone arm were neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, stomatitis, weight loss, upper respiratory tract infections, fever, thrombocytopenia, mucosal inflammation, nasopharyngitis, and dysgeusia. The most common adverse reactions which resulted in discontinuation of treatment on the trastuzumab-containing arm in the absence of disease progression were infection, diarrhea, and febrile neutropenia.

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

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.

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Verify the pregnancy status of females prior to initiation of KANJINTI ( 8.3 ). 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. There are clinical considerations if a trastuzumab product is used in a pregnant woman or if a patient becomes pregnant within 7 months following the last dose of a trastuzumab product [see Clinical Considerations ]. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. 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. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Monitor women who received KANJINTI during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception for oligohydramnios. If oligohydramnios occurs, perform fetal/neonatal testing that is appropriate for gestational age and consistent with community standards of care. Data Human Data In post-marketing reports and published literature, use of trastuzumab products during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and of oligohydramnios sequence. Fetal manifestations included pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities and neonatal death. These case reports described oligohydramnios in pregnant women who received trastuzumab either alone or in combination with chemotherapy. In most reported cases, amniotic fluid index increased after trastuzumab was stopped. In reported cases where trastuzumab therapy was resumed after amniotic index improved, oligohydramnios recurred. Animal Data In studies where trastuzumab was administered to pregnant Cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 25 mg/kg given twice weekly (up to 25 times the recommended weekly human dose of 2 mg/kg), trastuzumab crossed the placental barrier during the early (Gestation Days 20 to 50) and late (Gestation Days 120 to 150) phases of gestation. The resulting concentrations of trastuzumab in fetal serum and amniotic fluid were approximately 33% and 25%, respectively, of those present in the maternal serum but were not associated with adverse developmental effects. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of trastuzumab products in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Published data suggest human IgG is present in human milk but does not enter the neonatal and infant circulation in substantial amounts. Trastuzumab was present in the milk of lactating Cynomolgus monkeys but not associated with neonatal toxicity [see Data ]. Consider the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother's clinical need for KANJINTI treatment and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from KANJINTI or from the underlying maternal condition. This consideration should also take into account the trastuzumab product wash out period of 7 months [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Data In lactating Cynomolgus monkeys, trastuzumab was present in breast milk at about 0.3% of maternal serum concentrations after pre- (beginning Gestation Day 120) and post-partum (through Post-partum Day 28) doses of 25 mg/kg administered twice weekly (25 times the recommended weekly human dose of 2 mg/kg of trastuzumab products). Infant monkeys with detectable serum levels of trastuzumab did not exhibit any adverse effects on growth or development from birth to 1 month of age. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy sta …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action The HER2 (or c-erbB2) proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane receptor protein of 185 kDa, which is structurally related to the epidermal growth factor receptor. Trastuzumab products have been shown, in both in vitro assays and in animals, to inhibit the proliferation of human tumor cells that overexpress HER2. Trastuzumab products are mediators of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). In vitro , trastuzumab product-mediated ADCC has been shown to be preferentially exerted on HER2-overexpressing cancer cells compared with cancer cells that do not overexpress HER2.

Description

openFDA Drug Labeling

11 DESCRIPTION Trastuzumab-anns is a humanized IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody that selectively binds with high affinity to the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein, HER2. Trastuzumab-anns is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell (Chinese Hamster Ovary) culture containing the antibiotic geneticin. Geneticin is not detectable in the final product. KANJINTI (trastuzumab-anns) for injection is a sterile, white to pale yellow, preservative-free lyophilized powder with a cake-like appearance, for intravenous administration. Each multiple-dose vial of KANJINTI delivers 420 mg trastuzumab-anns, 381.8 mg α,α-trehalose dihydrate, 9.5 mg L-histidine HCl monohydrate, 6.1 mg L-histidine, and 1.7 mg polysorbate 20. Reconstitution with 20 mL of the appropriate diluent (BWFI or SWFI) yields a solution containing 21 mg/mL trastuzumab-anns that delivers 20 mL (420 mg trastuzumab-anns), at a pH of approximately 6. If KANJINTI is reconstituted with SWFI without preservative, the reconstituted solution is considered single-dose. Each single-dose vial of KANJINTI delivers 150 mg trastuzumab-anns, 136.2 mg α,α-trehalose dihydrate, 3.4 mg L-histidine HCl monohydrate, 2.2 mg L-histidine, and 0.6 mg polysorbate 20. Reconstitution with 7.4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI) yields a solution containing 21 mg/mL trastuzumab-anns that delivers 7.15 mL (150 mg trastuzumab-anns), at a pH of approximately 6.
