Warnings & Cautions for Elrexfio
- Infections : Can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat appropriately. Do not initiate treatment in patients with active infections. ( 5.4 )
- Neutropenia : Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment. ( 5.5 )
- Hepatotoxicity : Can cause elevated ALT, AST, and bilirubin. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. ( 5.6 )
- Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.7 , 8.1 . 8.3 ) 5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) ELREXFIO can cause CRS, including life-threatening or fatal reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the clinical trial, CRS occurred in 58% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] , with Grade 1 CRS in 44% of patients, Grade 2 CRS in 14% of patients, and Grade 3 CRS in 0.5% of patients. Recurrent CRS occurred in 13% of patients. Most patients experienced CRS after the first step-up dose (43%) or the second step-up dose (19%), with 7% of patients having CRS after the first treatment dose and 1.6% of patients after a subsequent dose. The median time to onset of CRS was 2 (range: 1 to 9) days after the most recent dose, with a median duration of 2 (range: 1 to 19) days. Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS may include, but are not limited to, fever, hypoxia, chills, hypotension, tachycardia, headache, and elevated liver enzymes. Initiate therapy according to the ELREXFIO step-up dosing schedule to reduce risk of CRS and monitor patients following administration of ELREXFIO accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 , 2.5 )] . Administer pre-treatment medications prior to each dose in the step-up dosing schedule to reduce risk of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Counsel patients to seek medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur. At the first sign of CRS, evaluate patients immediately for hospitalization. Manage CRS according to the recommendations and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Withhold or permanently discontinue ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . ELREXFIO is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 5.2 Neurologic Toxicity, Including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) ELREXFIO can cause serious or life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including ICANS [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the clinical trial, neurologic toxicity occurred in 59% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] , with Grade 3 or 4 neurologic toxicity occurring in 7% of patients. Neurologic toxicities included headache (18%), encephalopathy (15%), motor dysfunction (13%), sensory neuropathy (13%), and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (0.5%). In the clinical trial, ICANS occurred in 3.3% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Most patients had ICANS after the first step-up dose (2.7%), 1 (0.5%) patient had ICANS after the second step-up dose and 1 (0.5%) patient had ICANS after subsequent dose(s). Recurrent ICANS occurred in 1.1% of patients. The median time to onset was 3 (range: 1 to 4) days after the most recent dose, with a median duration of 2 (range: 1 to 18) days. The most frequent clinical manifestations of ICANS included a depressed level of consciousness and Grade 1 or Grade 2 Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (ICE) scores. The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS. Counsel patients to seek medical attention should signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity occur. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicities during treatment with ELREXFIO. At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, evaluate and treat patients immediately based on severity. Withhold or permanently discontinue ELREXFIO based on severity per recommendations [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Due to the potential for neurologic toxicity including ICANS, patients receiving ELREXFIO are at risk of depressed level of consciousness. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy or potentially dangerous machinery for 48 hours after completing each of the 2 step-up doses and the first treatment dose within the ELREXFIO step-up dosing schedule and in the event of new onset of any neurological toxicity symptoms until symptoms resolve [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . ELREXFIO is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 5.3 ELREXFIO REMS ELREXFIO is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the ELREXFIO REMS because of the risks of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2 )] . Notable requirements of the ELREXFIO REMS include the following:
- Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training.
- Prescribers must counsel patients receiving ELREXFIO about the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, and provide patients with ELREXFIO Patient Wallet Card.
- Pharmacies and healthcare settings that dispense ELREXFIO must be certified with the ELREXFIO REMS program and must verify prescribers are certified through the ELREXFIO REMS program.
- Wholesalers and distributers must only distribute ELREXFIO to certified pharmacies or healthcare settings. Further information about the ELREXFIO REMS program is available at www.ELREXFIOREMS.com or by telephone at 1‑844‑923‑7845. 5.4 Infections ELREXFIO can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections. In the clinical trial, in patients who received ELREXFIO according to the recommended dosing schedule, serious infections, including opportunistic infections, occurred in 42% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 infections in 31%, and fatal infections in 7%. The most common serious infections reported (≥5%) were pneumonia and sepsis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Do not initiate treatment with ELREXFIO in patients with active infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with ELREXFIO and treat appropriately. Withhold or permanently discontinue ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . Administer prophylactic antimicrobial and anti-viral medications according to current practice guidelines. Consider treatment with subcutaneous or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) as appropriate. 5.5 Neutropenia ELREXFIO can cause neutropenia and febrile neutropenia. In patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dose in the clinical trial, decreased neutrophils occurred in 62% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophils in 51%. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 2.2% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment. Provide supportive care according to current practice guidelines. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Withhold ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . 5.6 Hepatotoxicity ELREXFIO can cause hepatotoxicity. In the clinical trial, elevated ALT occurred in 36% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 ALT elevation occurring in 3.8%; elevated AST occurred in 40% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 AST elevation occurring in 6%. Grade 3 or 4 total bilirubin elevations occurred in 0.5% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Liver enzyme elevation can occur with or without concurrent CRS. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. Withhold ELREXFIO or consider permanent discontinuation of ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . 5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, ELREXFIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ELREXFIO and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 )] .
Drug Interactions with Elrexfio
For certain CYP substrates, minimal changes in the concentration may lead to serious adverse reactions. Monitor for toxicity or drug concentrations of such CYP substrates when co-administered with ELREXFIO. ELREXFIO causes release of cytokines that may suppress activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP substrates. Increased exposure of CYP substrates is more likely to occur after the first dose of ELREXFIO Day 1 and up to 14 days after the 32 mg dose on Day 4 and during and after CRS.
Pregnancy Safety for Elrexfio
Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action, ELREXFIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman . There are no available data on the use of ELREXFIO in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug associated risk. No animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with ELREXFIO. Elranatamab-bcmm causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance. In addition, based on the finding of B-cell depletion in non-pregnant animals, elranatamab-bcmm can cause B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to elranatamab-bcmm in-utero.
Human immunoglobulin (IgG) is known to cross the placenta after the first trimester of pregnancy; therefore, elranatamab-bcmm has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus. ELREXFIO is associated with hypogammaglobulinemia, therefore, assessment of immunoglobulin levels in newborns of mothers treated with ELREXFIO should be considered.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Pediatric Use of Elrexfio
Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ELREXFIO in pediatric patients have not been established.
Clinical Studies of Elrexfio
Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
The efficacy of ELREXFIO monotherapy was evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in an open-label, single arm, multi-center study (MagnetisMM-3, NCT04649359). The study included patients who were refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor (PI), one immunomodulatory agent (IMiD), and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. MagnetisMM-3 included 123 patients naïve to prior BCMA-directed therapy (pivotal Cohort A) and 64 patients with prior BCMA-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (supportive Cohort B). Patients had measurable disease by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria at enrollment. The study included patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of ≤2, adequate baseline bone marrow (absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 x 10 9 /L, platelet count ≥25 x 10 9 /L, hemoglobin level ≥8 g/dL), renal (CrCL ≥ 30 mL/min), and hepatic (AST and ALT ≤2.5 x ULN, total bilirubin ≤2 x ULN) function, and left-ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%. Patients with a stem cell transplant within 12 weeks prior to enrollment and active infections were excluded from the study.
Eligible patients received subcutaneous administration of ELREXFIO at step-up doses of 12 mg on Day 1 and 32 mg on Day 4 of treatment, followed by the first treatment dose of ELREXFIO (76 mg) on Day 8 of treatment. Thereafter, patients received 76 mg once weekly. After 24 weeks, in patients who achieved an IMWG response category of partial response or better with responses persisting for at least 2 months, the dose interval was changed from every week to every 2 weeks.
The 123 patients enrolled in pivotal Cohort A had received a median of 5 prior lines of therapy (range: 2 to 22). Ninety-seven patients who were not exposed to prior BCMA-directed therapy and received at least four prior lines of therapy comprised the efficacy population. Among the 97 patients in the efficacy population, the median age was 69 (range: 46 to 89) years with 18.6% of patients ≥75 years of age. Forty percent were female; 59.8% were White, 13.4% were Asian, 7.2% were Hispanic/Latino, 5.2% were Black or African American.
Disease stage (R-ISS) at study entry was 20.6% in Stage I, 53.6% in Stage II, and 17.5% in Stage III. The median time since initial diagnosis of multiple myeloma to enrollment was 79.6 (range: 16 to 228) months. 96.9% were triple-class refractory, and 94.8% were refractory to their last line of therapy. 69.1% received prior autologous stem cell transplantation, and 7.2% received prior allogenic stem cell transplantation. High-risk cytogenetics were present in 22.7% of patients. 34.0% of patients had extramedullary disease at baseline by BICR. Efficacy was based on response rate and duration of response (DOR), as assessed by BICR based on IMWG criteria. Efficacy results from BCMA-directed therapy naïve patients are shown in Table 11. The median (range) time to first response (TTR) was 1.22 (0.9 to 6.5) months.
With a median follow-up of 11.1 months (95% CI: 10.6, 12.0) among responders, the DOR rate at 6 months was 90.4% (95% CI: 78.4%, 95.9%) and at 9 months was 82.3% (95% CI: 67.1%, 90.9%). Table 11. Efficacy Results from BCMA-directed Therapy Naïve Patients Abbreviations: CI = Confidence interval; NR = Not reached; NE = Not estimable. N = 97 Objective Response Rate (ORR: sCR+CR+VGPR+PR), n (%) (95% CI) 56 (57.7%) Complete response (CR) or better Complete response or better = Stringent complete response (sCR) + complete response (CR). 25 (25.8%) Very good partial response (VGPR) 25 (25.8%) Partial response (PR) 6 (6.2%) Duration of Response (DOR) (months) Median (95% CI) NR (12.0, NE) Among the 64 patients enrolled in Cohort B who previously received a PI, an IMiD, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and a BCMA-directed therapy, 63 patients received at least four prior lines of therapy. Patients had received a median of 8 prior lines of therapy (range: 4 to 19); 73% and 32% received prior BCMA-directed ADC and CAR T-cell therapy, respectively.
Confirmed ORR by BICR was 33.3% (95% CI: 22.0, 46.3). After a median (95% CI) follow-up of 10.2 months among responders, median DOR was not reached (95% CI: NE, NE) and the DOR rate at 9 months was 84.3% (95% CI: 58.7, 94.7).
