Contraindications
openFDA Drug Labeling4 CONTRAINDICATIONS VIVIMUSTA is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions) to bendamustine, polyethylene glycol 400, dehydrated alcohol, or monothioglycerol [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] History of a hypersensitivity reaction to bendamustine, polyethylene glycol 400, dehydrated alcohol, or monothioglycerol. Reactions to bendamustine hydrochloride have included anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions. ( 4 , 5.4 )
Warnings and Cautions
openFDA Drug Labeling5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Myelosuppression : Delay or reduce dose, and restart treatment based on ANC and platelet count recovery. ( 5.1 ) • Infections : Monitor for fever and other signs of infection or reactivation of infections and treat promptly. ( 5.2 ) • Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) : Monitor for new or worsening neurological, cognitive or behavioral signs or symptoms suggestive of PML. ( 5.3 ) • Anaphylaxis and Infusion-Related Reactions : Severe anaphylactic reactions have occurred. Monitor clinically and discontinue drug for severe reactions. Pre-medicate in subsequent cycles for milder reactions. ( 5.4 ) • Tumor Lysis Syndrome : May lead to acute renal failure and death; anticipate and use supportive measures in patients at high risk. ( 5.5 ) • Skin Reactions : Discontinue for severe skin reactions. Cases of SJS, DRESS and TEN, some fatal, have been reported. ( 5.6 ). • Hepatotoxicity : Monitor liver chemistry tests prior to and during treatment. ( 5.7 ) • Other Malignancies : Pre-malignant and malignant diseases have been reported. ( 5.8 ) • Extravasation Injury : Take precautions to avoid extravasation, including monitoring intravenous infusion site during and after administration. ( 5.9 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective method of contraception. ( 5.10 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Myelosuppression VIVIMUSTA causes myelosuppression. Bendamustine hydrochloride caused severe myelosuppression (Grade 3-4) in 98% of patients in the two NHL studies [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Three patients (2%) died from myelosuppression-related adverse reactions; one each from neutropenic sepsis, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage with Grade 3 thrombocytopenia and pneumonia from an opportunistic infection (CMV). Monitor complete blood counts, including leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin (Hgb), and neutrophils frequently. In the clinical trials, blood counts were monitored every week initially. Hematologic nadirs were observed predominantly in the third week of therapy. Myelosuppression may require dose delays and/or subsequent dose reductions if recovery to the recommended values has not occurred by the first day of the next scheduled cycle. Delay the next cycle of therapy if ANC less than 1 x 10 9 /L or platelet count less than 75 x 10 9 /L [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 , 2.2 )]. 5.2 Infections Infection, including pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, hepatitis and death has occurred in adult and pediatric patients in clinical trials and in postmarketing reports for bendamustine hydrochloride [ see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 , 6.2 ) ]. Patients with myelosuppression following treatment with bendamustine hydrochloride are more susceptible to infections. Advise patients with myelosuppression following VIVIMUSTA treatment to contact healthcare provider immediately if they have symptoms or signs of infection. Patients treated with VIVIMUSTA are at risk for reactivation of infections including (but not limited to) hepatitis B, cytomegalovirus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and herpes zoster. Implement appropriate measures (including clinical and laboratory monitoring, prophylaxis, and treatment) for infection and infection reactivation prior to administration. 5.3 Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), including fatal cases, have occurred following treatment with bendamustine, primarily in combination with rituximab or obinutuzumab [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Consider PML in the differential diagnosis in patients with new or worsening neurological, cognitive or behavioral signs or symptoms. If PML is suspected, withhold VIVIMUSTA treatment and perform appropriate diagnostic evaluations. Consider discontinuation or reduction of any concomitant chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy in patients who …

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) The data described below reflect exposure to bendamustine hydrochloride in 153 patients. Bendamustine hydrochloride was studied in an active-controlled, randomized trial. The population was 45-77 years of age, 63% were male, 100% were White, and had treatment naïve CLL. All patients started the study at a dose of 100 mg/m2 intravenously over 30 minutes on Days 1 and 2 every 28 days. Adverse reactions were reported according to NCI CTC v.2.0. In the randomized CLL clinical study, non-hematologic adverse reactions (any grade) in the bendamustine hydrochloride group that occurred with a frequency greater than 15% were pyrexia (24%), nausea (20%), and vomiting (16%). Other adverse reactions seen frequently in one or more studies included asthenia, fatigue, malaise, and weakness; dry mouth; somnolence; cough; constipation; headache; mucosal inflammation and stomatitis. Worsening hypertension was reported in 4 patients treated with bendamustine hydrochloride and in none treated with chlorambucil. Three of these 4 adverse reactions were described as a hypertensive crisis and were managed with oral medications and resolved. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to study withdrawal for patients receiving bendamustine hydrochloride were hypersensitivity (2%) and pyrexia (1%). Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions that were reported in ≥ 5% of patients in either treatment group in the randomized CLL clinical study.

Drug Interactions
openFDA Drug Labeling7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Consider alternative therapies that are not CYP1A2 inducers or inhibitors during treatment with VIVIMUSTA. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on VIVIMUSTA CYP1A2 Inhibitors The coadministration of VIVIMUSTA with CYP1A2 inhibitors may increase bendamustine plasma concentrations and may result in increased incidence of adverse reactions with VIVIMUSTA [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Consider alternative therapies that are not CYP1A2 inhibitors during treatment with VIVIMUSTA. CYP1A2 Inducers The coadministration of VIVIMUSTA with CYP1A2 inducers may decrease bendamustine plasma concentrations and may result in decreased efficacy of VIVIMUSTA [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Consider alternative therapies that are not CYP1A2 inducers during treatment with VIVIMUSTA.
Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) • Infertility : May impair fertility. ( 8.3 ) • Renal Impairment : Do not use in patients with creatinine clearance 3 x ULN. ( 8.7 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary In animal reproduction studies, intraperitoneal administration of bendamustine to pregnant mice and rats during organogenesis at doses 0.6 to 1.8 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) resulted in embryo-fetal and/or infant mortality, structural abnormalities, and alterations to growth (see Data). There are no available data on bendamustine hydrochloride use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. 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 Bendamustine hydrochloride was intraperitoneally administered once to mice from 210 mg/m 2 (approximately 1.8 times the MRHD) during organogenesis and caused an increase in resorptions, skeletal and visceral malformations (exencephaly, cleft palates, accessory rib, and spinal deformities) and decreased fetal body weights. This dose did not appear to be maternally toxic and lower doses were not evaluated. Repeat intraperitoneal administration of bendamustine hydrochloride in mice on gestation days 7 to 11 resulted in an increase in resorptions from 75 mg/m 2 (approximately 0.6 times the MRHD) and an increase in abnormalities from 112.5 mg/m 2 (approximately 0.9 times the MRHD), similar to those seen after a single intraperitoneal administration. Bendamustine hydrochloride was intraperitoneally administered once to rats from 120 mg/m 2 (approximately the MRHD) on gestation days 4, 7, 9, 11, or 13 and caused embryo and fetal lethality as indicated by increased resorptions and a decrease in live fetuses. A significant increase in external (effect on tail, head, and herniation of external organs [exomphalos]) and internal (hydronephrosis and hydrocephalus) malformations were seen in dosed rats. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of bendamustine hydrochloride or its metabolites in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with VIVIMUSTA and for 1 week after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential VIVIMUSTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )]. Pregnancy Testing Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of treatment with VIVIMUSTA . Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VIVIMUSTA and for 6 months after the last dose. Males Based on genotoxicity findings, advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VIVIMUSTA and for 3 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )]. Infertility Based on findings from clinical studies, VIVIMUSTA may impair male fertility. Impaired spermatogenesis, azoospermia, and total germinal aplasia have been reported in male patients treated with alkylating agents, especially in combination with other drugs. In some instances spermatogenesis may return in patients in remission, but this may occur only several years after intensive chemotherapy has been discontinued. Advise patients of the potential risk to their reproductive capa …
Mechanism of Action
openFDA Drug Labeling12.1 Mechanism of Action Bendamustine is a bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative containing a purine-like benzimidazole ring. Mechlorethamine and its derivatives form electrophilic alkyl groups. These groups form covalent bonds with electron-rich nucleophilic moieties, resulting in interstrand DNA crosslinks. The bifunctional covalent linkage can lead to cell death via several pathways. Bendamustine is active against both quiescent and dividing cells. The exact mechanism of action of bendamustine remains unknown.

Overdosage
openFDA Drug Labeling10 OVERDOSAGE The intravenous lethal dose 50 (LD 50 ) of bendamustine hydrochloride is 240 mg/m 2 in the mouse and rat. Toxicities included sedation, tremor, ataxia, convulsions and respiratory distress. Across all clinical experience, the reported maximum single dose received was 280 mg/m 2 . Three of four patients who received this dose showed ECG changes considered dose-limiting at 7 and 21 days post-dosing. These changes included QT prolongation (one patient), sinus tachycardia (one patient), ST and T wave deviations (two patients) and left anterior fascicular block (one patient). Cardiac enzymes and ejection fractions remained normal in all patients. No specific antidote for bendamustine hydrochloride overdose is known. Management of overdosage should include general supportive measures, including monitoring of hematologic parameters and ECGs.
