WARNING: INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE and EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and pneumonitis, including fatal cases, have been reported with ENHERTU. Monitor for and promptly investigate signs and symptoms including cough, dyspnea, fever, and other new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in all patients with Grade 2 or higher ILD/pneumonitis. Advise patients of the risk and the need to immediately report symptoms [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
- Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Exposure to ENHERTU during pregnancy can cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4), Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE
1.1 Metastatic Breast Cancer
ENHERTU is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received a prior anti-HER2-based regimen either:
- in the metastatic setting, or
- in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting and have developed disease recurrence during or within six months of completing therapy.
1.2 Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer
ENHERTU is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma who have received a prior trastuzumab-based regimen.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
2.1 Patient Selection for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer
Select patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer based on HER2 protein overexpression or HER2 gene amplification. Reassess HER2 status if it is feasible to obtain a new tumor specimen after prior trastuzumab-based therapy and before treatment with ENHERTU.
Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification in gastric cancer is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.
2.2 Recommended Dosage and Schedules
Do not substitute ENHERTU for or with trastuzumab or ado-trastuzumab emtansine.
First infusion: Administer infusion over 90 minutes.
Subsequent infusions: Administer over 30 minutes if prior infusions were well tolerated.
Slow or interrupt the infusion rate if the patient develops infusion-related symptoms.
Permanently discontinue ENHERTU in case of severe infusion reactions.
Premedication
ENHERTU is moderately emetogenic [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] , which includes delayed nausea and/or vomiting. Administer prophylactic antiemetic medications per local institutional guidelines for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
Recommended Dosage for Metastatic Breast Cancer
The recommended dosage of ENHERTU is 5.4 mg/kg given as an intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks (21-day cycle) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Recommended Dosage for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer
The recommended dosage of ENHERTU is 6.4 mg/kg given as an intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks (21-day cycle) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
2.3 Dose Modifications
Management of adverse reactions may require temporary interruption, dose reduction, or treatment discontinuation of ENHERTU as described in Tables 1 and 2.
Do not re-escalate the ENHERTU dose after a dose reduction is made.
If a planned dose is delayed or missed, administer as soon as possible; do not wait until the next planned cycle. Adjust the schedule of administration to maintain a 3-week interval between doses. Administer the infusion at the dose and rate the patient tolerated in the most recent infusion.
