6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

MagnetisMM-3

The safety of ELREXFIO was evaluated in MagnetisMM-3 [see Clinical Studies (14)]. The safety population described (n = 183) includes patients who received the recommended dosage regimen of 12 mg subcutaneously on Day 1, 32 mg on Day 4, and 76 mg once weekly starting on Day 8. Among patients who received ELREXFIO, 42% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 9% were exposed for one year or longer.

The median age of patients who received ELREXFIO was 68 years (range: 36 to 88 years); 48% were female; 61% were White, 10% were Hispanic/Latino, 9% were Asian, and 6% were Black or African American.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 68% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included pneumonia (25%), sepsis (13%), CRS (13%), upper respiratory tract infection (4.4%), acute kidney injury (3.8%), urinary tract infection (3.3%), COVID-19 (3.3%), encephalopathy (3.3%), pyrexia (2.2%), and febrile neutropenia (2.2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients including pneumonia (3.3%), sepsis (2.7%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (0.5%), cardio-respiratory arrest (0.5%), cardiogenic shock (0.5%), cardiopulmonary failure (0.5%), COVID-19 (0.5%), failure to thrive (0.5%), and pulmonary embolism (0.5%).

Permanent discontinuations of ELREXFIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 17% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of ELREXFIO in >2% of patients included septic shock (2.2%).

Dosage interruptions of ELREXFIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 73% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in dose interruptions of ELREXFIO in >5% of patients included neutropenia, pneumonia, COVID-19, upper respiratory tract infection, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.

The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were CRS, fatigue, injection site reaction, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, musculoskeletal pain, pneumonia, decreased appetite, rash, cough, nausea, and pyrexia. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥30%) were decreased lymphocytes, decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, decreased white blood cells, and decreased platelets.

injection, for subcutaneous use

What is the most important information I should know about ELREXFIO?

ELREXFIO may cause serious side effects, including:

Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS). CRS is common during treatment with ELREXFIO and can also be serious, life-threatening, or can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of CRS, including:
o
fever of 100.4 °F (38 °C) or higher
o
trouble breathing
o
chills
o
dizziness or light-headedness
o
fast heartbeat
o
headache
o
increased liver enzymes in your blood. See What are the possible side effects of ELREXFIO? for more information about the signs and symptoms of liver problems.
 
Due to the risk of CRS, you will receive ELREXFIO on a “step-up dosing schedule” and should be hospitalized for 48 hours after the first “step-up” dose and for 24 hours after the second “step-up” dose of ELREXFIO.
o
During the step-up dosing schedule:
for your first dose, you will receive a smaller “step-up” dose of ELREXFIO on Day 1 of your treatment
for your second dose, you will receive a larger “step-up” dose of ELREXFIO, which is usually given on Day 4 of your treatment
for your third dose, you will receive the first full “treatment” dose of ELREXFIO, which is usually given on Day 8 of your treatment
o
If your dose of ELREXFIO is delayed for any reason, you may need to repeat the step-up dosing schedule.
o
Before each step-up dose and the first full treatment dose of ELREXFIO, you will receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS. Your healthcare provider will decide if you need to receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS with future doses.
o
See “How will I receive ELREXFIO?” for more information about how you will receive ELREXFIO.
Neurologic problems. ELREXFIO can cause neurologic problems that can be serious or life-threatening. Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of neurologic problems, including:
o
headache
o
agitation, trouble staying awake, confusion or disorientation, seeing or hearing things that are not real (hallucinations)
o
trouble speaking, thinking, remembering things, paying attention, or understanding things
o
problems walking, muscle weakness, shaking (tremors), loss of balance, or muscle spasms
o
numbness and tingling (feeling like “pins and needles”)
o
burning, throbbing, or stabbing pain
o
changes in your handwriting
ELREXFIO is available only through the ELREXFIO Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) due to the risk of CRS and neurologic problems. You will receive an ELREXFIO Patient Wallet Card from your healthcare provider. Carry the ELREXFIO Patient Wallet Card with you at all times and show it to all of your healthcare providers. The ELREXFIO Patient Wallet Card lists symptoms of CRS and neurologic problems. Get medical help right away if you develop any of the symptoms listed on the ELREXFIO Patient Wallet Card. You may need to be treated in a hospital.

Your healthcare provider will monitor you for signs and symptoms of CRS and neurologic problems during treatment with ELREXFIO, as well as other side effects, and will treat you if needed. Your healthcare provider may temporarily stop or completely stop your treatment with ELREXFIO if you develop CRS, neurologic problems, or any other side effects that are severe.

If you have any questions about ELREXFIO, ask your healthcare provider.

See “What are possible side effects of ELREXFIO?” for more information about side effects.

What is ELREXFIO?

ELREXFIO is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with multiple myeloma who:

have already received at least 4 treatment regimens, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody to treat their multiple myeloma, and
their cancer has come back or did not respond to prior treatment.

It is not known if ELREXFIO is safe and effective in children.

Before receiving ELREXFIO, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

have an infection.
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. ELREXFIO may harm your unborn baby.
Females who are able to become pregnant:
o
Your healthcare provider should do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with ELREXFIO.
o
You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of ELREXFIO.
o
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think that you may be pregnant during treatment with ELREXFIO.
are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if ELREXFIO passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of ELREXFIO.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

How will I receive ELREXFIO?

ELREXFIO will be given to you by your healthcare provider as an injection under your skin (subcutaneous injection), usually in your stomach-area (abdomen). Your thigh or another area of your body may also be used.
See What is the most important information I should know about ELREXFIO? for more information about how you will receive ELREXFIO.
After you receive your first full “treatment” dose, ELREXFIO is usually given 1 time each week through Week 24.
Starting on Week 25, your future doses will usually be given 1 time every 2 weeks.
Starting on Week 49, your future doses will usually be given 1 time every 4 weeks.
Your healthcare provider will decide the time between doses and how long you will receive treatment with ELREXFIO.

If you miss any appointments, call your healthcare provider as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment. It is important for you to be monitored closely for side effects during treatment with ELREXFIO.

What should I avoid while receiving ELREXFIO?

Do not drive, operate heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, or do other dangerous activities during treatment with ELREXFIO:

for 48 hours after completing each of the 2 doses of ELREXFIO that are part of the “step-up dosing schedule” and your first full treatment dose, and
at any time during treatment with ELREXFIO if you develop any new neurologic symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, shaking (tremors), sleepiness, or any other symptom that impairs consciousness, until the symptoms go away.

See “What is the most important information I should know about ELREXFIO?” for more information about signs and symptoms of neurologic problems.

What are the possible side effects of ELREXFIO?

The most common side effects of ELREXFIO include:

tiredness
injection site reaction, such as redness, itching, pain, bruising, rash, swelling, tenderness
diarrhea
muscle and bone pain
decreased appetite
rash
cough
nausea
fever

The most common severe abnormal blood test results with ELREXFIO include decreased white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.


These are not all of the possible side effects of ELREXFIO.
