Important Safety Information
BOXED WARNING: LEFT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION AND EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY
-
•
Left Ventricular Dysfunction: MARGENZA may lead to reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Evaluate cardiac function prior to and during treatment. Discontinue MARGENZA treatment for a confirmed clinically significant decrease in left ventricular function.
-
•
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Exposure to MARGENZA during pregnancy can cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise patients of the risk and need for effective contraception.
Additional Important Safety Information
Left Ventricular Dysfunction
- •
Evaluate cardiac function within 4 weeks prior to and every 3 months during and upon completion of treatment.
- •
In the pivotal SOPHIA trial, left ventricular dysfunction occurred in 1.9% of patients treated with MARGENZA.
- •
MARGENZA has not been studied in patients with a pretreatment LVEF value of <50%, a prior history of myocardial infarction, or unstable angina within 6 months, or congestive heart failure NYHA class II-IV.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
- •
Based on findings in animals and mechanism of action, MARGENZA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
- •
Verify pregnancy status of women of reproductive potential prior to initiation of MARGENZA.
Infusion-Related Reactions (IRRs)
- •
MARGENZA can cause IRRs. Monitor patients during and after MARGENZA infusion for signs and symptoms. If a significant infusion-associated reaction occurs, slow or interrupt the infusion and administer appropriate medical therapies.
- •
In the pivotal SOPHIA trial, IRRs were reported by 13% of patients on MARGENZA plus chemotherapy. Most of the IRRs occur during Cycle 1. Grade 3 IRRs were reported in 1.5% of MARGENZA-treated patients.
- •
Interrupt MARGENZA infusion in patients experiencing dyspnea or clinically significant hypotension. Monitor patients until symptoms completely resolve.
