Treatment Requirements

Before initiating treatment

Review the treatment requirements below to ensure that the patient meets all the requirements prior to ELZONRIS preparation and administration.

Prior to first dose: Cycle1

Scale

*In the clinical studies, patients had a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ institutional lower limit of normal as measured by multigated acquisition scan or
2-dimensional echocardiography within 28 days prior to the start of therapy. No clinically significant abnormalities on a 12-lead electrocardiogram.2

Review and record the below parameters prior to each dose of ELZONRIS administration. Alert the treating physician if any of the below parameters exceed the limits for dose modification per the recommended dose modification guidelines and CLS management guidelines.1

Parameters
Body weight (kg)
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)
Heart rate (bpm)
Body temperature (°C)
Serum albumin (g/dL)
Aspartate aminotransferase [AST] (U/L)
Alanine aminotransferase [ALT] (U/L)
Serum creatinine (mg/dL)

Recommended dosage of ELZONRIS1:

Scale

12 mcg/kg/day administered intravenously via a syringe pump over 15 minutes once daily on days 1 through 5 of a 21-day cycle.

Scale

Dosing delays may be extended up to day 10 of the cycle.

The total infusion time will be controlled using a syringe pump to deliver the entire dose and the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP flush over 15 minutes.

INDICATION

  • ELZONRIS is a CD123-directed cytotoxin indicated for the treatment of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) in adults and in pediatric patients 2 years and older

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Boxed WARNING: CAPILLARY LEAK SYNDROME

  • Capillary Leak Syndrome (CLS), which may be life-threatening or fatal, can occur in patients receiving ELZONRIS. Monitor for signs and symptoms of CLS and take actions as recommended.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Capillary Leak Syndrome

  • Capillary leak syndrome (CLS), including life-threatening and fatal cases, has been reported among patients treated with ELZONRIS. In patients receiving ELZONRIS in clinical trials, the overall incidence of CLS was 53% (65/122), including Grade 1 or 2 in 43% (52/122) of patients, Grade 3 in 7% (8/122) of patients, Grade 4 in 1% (1/122) of patients, and four fatalities (3%). The median time to onset was 4 days (range - 1 to 46 days), and all but 5 patients experienced an event in Cycle 1.
  • Before initiating therapy with ELZONRIS, ensure that the patient has adequate cardiac function and serum albumin is greater than or equal to 3.2 g/dL. During treatment with ELZONRIS, monitor serum albumin levels prior to the initiation of each dose of ELZONRIS and as indicated clinically thereafter, and assess patients for other signs or symptoms of CLS, including weight gain, new onset or worsening edema, including pulmonary edema, hypotension or hemodynamic instability.

Hypersensitivity Reactions

  • ELZONRIS can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions. In patients receiving ELZONRIS in clinical trials, hypersensitivity reactions were reported in 43% (53/122) of patients treated with ELZONRIS and were Grade ≥ 3 in 7% (9/122). Manifestations of hypersensitivity reported in ≥ 5% of patients include rash, pruritus, and stomatitis. Monitor patients for hypersensitivity reactions during treatment with ELZONRIS. Interrupt ELZONRIS infusion and provide supportive care as needed if a hypersensitivity reaction should occur.

Hepatotoxicity

  • Treatment with ELZONRIS was associated with elevations in liver enzymes. In patients receiving ELZONRIS in clinical trials, elevations in ALT occurred in 79% (96/122) and elevations in AST occurred in 76% (93/122). Grade 3 ALT elevations were reported in 26% (32/122) of patients. Grade 3 AST elevations were reported in 30% (36/122) and Grade 4 AST elevations were reported in 3% (4/122) of patients. Elevated liver enzymes occurred in the majority of patients in Cycle 1 and were reversible following dose interruption.
  • Monitor alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) prior to each infusion with ELZONRIS. Withhold ELZONRIS temporarily if the transaminases rise to greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal and resume treatment upon normalization or when resolved.

ADVERSE REACTIONS:

Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 30%) are capillary leak syndrome, nausea, fatigue, pyrexia, peripheral edema, and weight increase. Most common laboratory abnormalities (incidence ≥ 50%) are decreases in albumin, platelets, hemoglobin, calcium, and sodium, and increases in glucose, ALT and AST.
