Eribulin Mesylate Drug Information

Metastatic Breast Cancer Eribulin mesylate injection is indicated for the treatment of

patients with metastatic breast cancer who have previously received at least two chemotherapeutic regimens for the treatment of metastatic disease. Prior therapy should have included an anthracycline and a taxane in either the adjuvant or metastatic setting.

Liposarcoma Eribulin mesylate injection is indicated for the treatment of patients with

unresectable or metastatic liposarcoma who have received a prior anthracycline-containing regimen .

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in other clinical trials and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The following adverse reactions are discussed in detail in other sections of the labeling: Neutropenia Peripheral neuropathy QT prolongation In clinical trials, eribulin mesylate has been administered to 1,963 patients including 467 patients exposed to eribulin mesylate for 6 months or longer. The majority of the 1,963 patients were women (92%) with a median age of 55 years (range: 17 to 85 years). The racial and ethnic distribution was White (72%), Black (4%), Asian (9%), and other (3%). Metastatic Breast Cancer The most common adverse reactions (≥25%) reported in patients receiving eribulin mesylate were neutropenia, anemia, asthenia/fatigue, alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, nausea, and constipation.

The most common serious adverse reactions reported in patients receiving eribulin mesylate were febrile neutropenia (4%) and neutropenia (2%). The most common adverse reaction resulting in discontinuation of eribulin mesylate was peripheral neuropathy (5%). The adverse reactions described in Table 2 were identified in 750 patients treated in Study 1 . In Study 1, patients were randomized (2:1) to receive either eribulin mesylate (1.4 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle) or single agent treatment chosen by their physician (control group). A total of 503 patients received eribulin mesylate and 247 patients in the control group received therapy consisting of chemotherapy or hormonal therapy (3%). The median duration of exposure was 118 days for patients receiving eribulin mesylate and 63 days for patients receiving control therapy. Table 2 reports the most common adverse reactions occurring in at least 10% of patients in either group.

Cytopenias: Grade 3 neutropenia occurred in 28% (143/503) of patients who received eribulin mesylate in Study 1, and 29% (144/503) of patients experienced Grade 4 neutropenia.

Febrile neutropenia occurred in 5% (23/503) of patients; two patients (0.4%) died from complications of febrile neutropenia. Dose reduction due to neutropenia was required in 12% (62/503) of patients and discontinuation was required in <1% of patients. The mean time to nadir was 13 days and the mean time to recovery from severe neutropenia (<500/mm 3 ) was 8 days.

Grade 3 or greater thrombocytopenia occurred in 1% (7/503) of patients. G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) or GM-CSF (granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor) was used in 19% of patients who received eribulin mesylate. Peripheral Neuropathy : In Study 1, 17% of enrolled patients had Grade 1 peripheral neuropathy and 3% of patients had Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy at baseline.

Dose reduction due to peripheral neuropathy was required by 3% (14/503) of patients who received eribulin mesylate. Four percent (20/503) of patients experienced peripheral motor neuropathy of any grade and 2% (8/503) of patients developed Grade 3 peripheral motor neuropathy. Liver Function Test Abnormalities : Among patients with Grade 0 or 1 ALT levels at baseline, 18% of eribulin mesylate-treated patients experienced Grade 2 or greater ALT elevation.

One eribulin mesylate-treated patient without documented liver metastases had concomitant Grade 2 elevations in bilirubin and ALT; these abnormalities resolved and did not recur with re-exposure to eribulin mesylate. Less Common Adverse Reactions: The following additional adverse reactions were reported in ≥5% to <10% of the eribulin mesylate-treated group: Eye Disorders: increased lacrimation Gastrointestinal Disorders: dyspepsia, abdominal pain, stomatitis, dry mouth General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: peripheral edema Infections and Infestations: upper respiratory tract infection Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders: hypokalemia Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: muscle spasms, muscular weakness Nervous System Disorders: dysgeusia, dizziness Psychiatric Disorders: insomnia, depression· Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: rash Liposarcoma The safety of eribulin mesylate was evaluated in Study 2, an open-label, randomized, multicenter, active-controlled trial, in which patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either eribulin mesylate 1.4 mg/m 2 on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle or dacarbazine at doses of 850 mg/m 2 (20%), 1,000 mg/m 2 (64%), or 1,200 mg/m 2 (16%) every 3 weeks. A total of 223 patients received eribulin mesylate and 221 patients received dacarbazine.

Patients were required to have received at least two prior systemic chemotherapy regimens. The trial excluded patients with pre-existing ≥ Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy, known central nervous system metastasis, elevated serum bilirubin or significant chronic liver disease, history of myocardial infarction within 6 months, history of New York Heart Association Class II or IV heart failure, or cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment. The median age of the safety population in Study 2 was 56 years (range: 24 to 83 years); 67% female; 73% White, 3% Black or African American, 8% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 15% unknown; 99% received prior anthracycline-containing regimen; and 99% received ≥ 2 prior regimens.

The median duration of exposure was 2.3 months (range: 21 days to 26 months) for patients receiving eribulin mesylate. The most common adverse reactions (≥25%) reported in patients receiving eribulin mesylate were fatigue, nausea, alopecia, constipation, peripheral neuropathy, abdominal pain, and pyrexia. The most common (≥5%) Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities reported in patients receiving eribulin mesylate were neutropenia, hypokalemia, and hypocalcemia.

The most common serious adverse reactions reported in patients receiving eribulin mesylate were neutropenia (4.9%) and pyrexia (4.5%). Permanent discontinuation of eribulin mesylate for adverse reactions occurred in 8% of patients. The most common adverse reactions resulting in discontinuation of eribulin mesylate were fatigue and thrombocytopenia (0.9% each). Twenty-six percent of patients required at least one dose reduction. The most frequent adverse reactions that led to dose reduction were neutropenia (18%) and peripheral neuropathy (4.0%).

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse drug reactions have been identified during post-approval use of eribulin mesylate. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: lymphopenia Gastrointestinal Disorders: pancreatitis Hepatobiliary Disorders: hepatotoxicity Immune System Disorders: drug hypersensitivity Infections and Infestations: pneumonia, sepsis/neutropenic sepsis Metabolism and Nutrition Disorders: hypomagnesemia, dehydration Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: interstitial lung disease Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: pruritus, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis

Effects of Other Drugs on Eribulin Mesylate No drug-drug interactions are expected

with CYP3A4 inhibitors, CYP3A4 inducers or P‑glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors. Clinically meaningful differences in exposure (AUC) were not observed in patients with advanced solid tumors when eribulin mesylate was administered with or without ketoconazole (a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 and a P-gp inhibitor) and when eribulin mesylate was administered with or without rifampin (a CYP3A4 inducer).

Effects of Eribulin Mesylate on Other Drugs Eribulin does not inhibit

CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 or CYP3A4 enzymes or induce CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 enzymes at relevant clinical concentrations. Eribulin is not expected to alter the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of these enzymes.

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from an animal reproduction study and its mechanism of action, eribulin mesylate, can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of eribulin mesylate during pregnancy. In an animal reproduction study, eribulin mesylate caused embryo-fetal toxicity when administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis at doses below the recommended human dose . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

The estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. 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. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, pregnant rats received intravenous infusion of eribulin mesylate during organogenesis (Gestation Days 8, 10, and 12) at doses approximately 0.04, 0.13, 0.43 and 0.64 times the recommended human dose, based on body surface area.

Increased abortion and severe fetal external or soft tissue malformations, including the absence of a lower jaw and tongue, or stomach and spleen, were observed at doses 0.64 times the recommended human dose of 1.4 mg/m 2 based on body surface area. Increased embryo-fetal death/resorption, reduced fetal weights, and minor skeletal anomalies consistent with developmental delay were also reported at doses at or above a maternally toxic dose of approximately 0.43 times the recommended human dose.

Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of eribulin mesylate injection in pediatric patients have not been established. Pediatric use information describing clinical studies in which efficacy was not demonstrated is approved for Eisai Inc’s HALAVEN ® (eribulin mesylate) injection. However, due to Eisai Inc’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.

Overdosage of eribulin mesylate has been reported at approximately 4 times the recommended dose, which resulted in Grade 3 neutropenia lasting seven days and a Grade 3 hypersensitivity reaction lasting one day. There is no known antidote for eribulin mesylate injection overdose.
