Reference ID: 3161927 FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE KYPROLIS is indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy. Approval is based on response rate [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Clinical benefit, such as improvement in survival or symptoms, has not been verified. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Dosing Guidelines KYPROLIS is administered intravenously over 2 to 10 minutes, on two consecutive days, each week for three weeks (Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16), followed by a 12-day rest period (Days 17 to 28). Each 28-day period is considered one treatment cycle (Table 1). In Cycle 1, KYPROLIS is administered at a dose of 20 mg/m2. If tolerated in Cycle 1, the dose should be escalated to 27 mg/m2 beginning in Cycle 2 and continued at 27 mg/m2 in subsequent cycles. Treatment may be continued until disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity occurs [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. The dose is calculated using the patient’s actual body surface area at baseline. Patients with a body surface area greater than 2.2 m2 should receive a dose based upon a body surface area of 2.2 m2. Dose adjustments do not need to be made for weight changes of less than or equal to 20%. 2 Reference ID: 3161927 Table 1: KYPROLIS Dosage Regimen for Patients with Multiple Myeloma Cycle 1 Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Day Day Days Day Day Days Day Day Days Days 1 2 3–7 8 9 10–14 15 16 17–21 22–28 KYPROLIS 20 20 No 20 20 No 20 20 No No (20 mg/m2): Dosing Dosing Dosing Dosing Cycles 2 and Beyonda Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Day Day Days Day Day Days Day Day Days Days 1 2 3–7 8 9 10–14 15 16 17–21 22–28 KYPROLIS 27 27 No 27 27 No 27 27 No No (27 mg/m2): Dosing Dosing Dosing Dosing a If previous cycle dosage is tolerated. 2.2 Hydration and Fluid Monitoring Hydrate patients to reduce the risk of renal toxicity and of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) with KYPROLIS treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. Maintain adequate fluid volume status throughout treatment and monitor blood chemistries closely. Prior to each dose in Cycle 1, give 250 mL to 500 mL of intravenous normal saline or other appropriate intravenous fluid. Give an additional 250 mL to 500 mL of intravenous fluids as needed following KYPROLIS administration. Continue intravenous hydration, as needed, in subsequent cycles. Also monitor patients during this period for fluid overload [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. 2.3 Dexamethasone Premedication Pre-medicate with dexamethasone 4 mg orally or intravenously prior to all doses of KYPROLIS during Cycle 1 and prior to all KYPROLIS doses during the first cycle of dose escalation to 27 mg/m2 to reduce the incidence and severity of infusion reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Reinstate dexamethasone premedication (4 mg orally or intravenously) if these symptoms develop or reappear during subsequent cycles. 2.4 Dose Modifications based on Toxicities Recommended actions and dose modifications are presented in Table 2. 3 Reference ID: 3161927 Table 2: Dose Modifications for Toxicitya during KYPROLIS Treatment Hematologic Toxicity Recommended Action Grade 3a or 4 Neutropenia Withhold dose. Grade 4 Thrombocytopenia If fully recovered before next scheduled dose, continue at same [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)] dose level. If recovered to Grade 2 neutropenia or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia, reduce dose by one dose level (from 27 mg/m2 to 20 mg/m2, OR from 20 mg/m2 to 15 mg/m2). If tolerated, the reduced dose may be escalated to the previous dose at the discretion of the physician. Non-Hematologic Toxicity Recommended Action Cardiac Toxicity Withhold until resolved or returned to baseline. Grade 3 or 4, new onset or worsening of: After resolution, consider if restarting KYPROLIS at a reduced 2 2 congestive heart failure; dose is appropriate (from 27 mg/m to 20 mg/m , OR from 2 2 decreased left ventricular function; 20 mg/m to 15 mg/m ). If tolerated, the reduced dose may be escalated to the previous or myocardial ischemia dose at the discretion of the physician. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Pulmonary Hypertension Withhold until resolved or returned to baseline. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Restart at the dose used prior to the event or reduced dose (from 27 mg/m2 to 20 mg/m2, OR from 20 mg/m2 to 15 mg/m2), at the discretion of the physician. If tolerated, the reduced dose may be escalated to the previous dose at the discretion of the physician. Pulmonary Complications Withhold until resolved or returned to baseline. Grade 3 or 4 Consider restarting at the next scheduled treatment with one dose 2 2 2 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] level reduction (from 27 mg/m to 20 mg/m , OR from 20 mg/m to 15 mg/m2). If tolerated, the reduced dose may be escalated to the previous dose at the discretion of the physician. Hepatic Toxicity Withhold until resolved or returned to baseline. Grade 3 or 4 elevation of After resolution, consider if restarting KYPROLIS is appropriate; transaminases, bilirubin or other liver may be reinitiated at a reduced dose (from 27 mg/m2 to 20 mg/m2, abnormalities OR from 20 mg/m2 to 15 mg/m2) with frequent monitoring of [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)] liver function.
