Side Effects of Phesgo

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. Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer The safety of PHESGO was evaluated in an open-label, multicenter, randomized trial (FeDeriCa) conducted in 500 patients with HER2 overexpressing early breast cancer . Patients were randomized to receive either PHESGO (1,200 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 30,000 units hyaluronidase/15 mL) followed every 3 weeks by a maintenance dose of 600 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 20,000 units hyaluronidase/10 mL or the recommended dosages for intravenous pertuzumab and intravenous trastuzumab. Patients were randomized to receive 8 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent administration of 4 cycles of either PHESGO or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab during cycles 5-8, followed by surgery.

Following surgery, patients continued therapy with PHESGO alone or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab (intravenous or subcutaneously administered) as treated prior to surgery, for an additional 14 cycles, to complete 18 cycles. The median duration of treatment for PHESGO was 24 weeks (range: 0-42 weeks). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 16% of patients who received PHESGO. Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients included febrile neutropenia (4%), neutropenic sepsis (1%), and neutrophil count decreased (1%). One fatal adverse reaction occurred in 1/248 (0.4%) of patients, which was due to acute myocardial infarction, and occurred prior to the start of HER2 targeted treatment with PHESGO. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of any study drug occurred in 8% of patients on the PHESGO arm. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of PHESGO were ejection fraction decreased (1.2%), cardiac failure (0.8%), and pneumonitis/pulmonary fibrosis (0.8%). Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 40% of patients who received PHESGO. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in > 1% of patients who received PHESGO included neutropenia (8%), neutrophil count decreased (4%), and diarrhea (7%). Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions in FeDeriCa.

Other Clinical Trials Experience

The safety of the addition of intravenous pertuzumab to trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy has been established in studies conducted in patients with HER2 overexpressing early breast cancer. The following adverse reactions have been reported following administration of intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab: diarrhea, alopecia, nausea, fatigue, neutropenia, vomiting, peripheral neuropathy, constipation, anemia, asthenia, mucosal inflammation, myalgia, and thrombocytopenia. Refer to the Prescribing Information for pertuzumab for more information.

The safety of intravenous pertuzumab, trastuzumab and docetaxel has been established in patients with HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. The following adverse reactions have been reported following administration of intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab: diarrhea, alopecia, neutropenia, nausea, fatigue, rash, and peripheral neuropathy. Refer to the Prescribing Information for pertuzumab for more information.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified with the use of intravenous trastuzumab. 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. Glomerulopathy Immune thrombocytopenia Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS): Patients with significant tumor burden (e.g. bulky metastases) may be at a higher risk.

Patients could present with hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acute renal failure which may represent possible TLS. Providers should consider additional monitoring and/or treatment as clinically indicated.

Warnings & Cautions for Phesgo

Cardiomyopathy

PHESGO can cause hypertension, arrhythmias, left ventricular cardiac dysfunction, disabling cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac death. PHESGO can cause asymptomatic decline in LVEF. An increased incidence of LVEF decline has been observed in patients treated with intravenous pertuzumab, intravenous trastuzumab, and docetaxel. A 4-6 fold increase in the incidence of symptomatic myocardial dysfunction has been reported among patients receiving trastuzumab, with the highest absolute incidence occurring when trastuzumab was administered with an anthracycline.

Patients who receive anthracycline after stopping PHESGO may also be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction. Cardiac Monitoring Prior to initiation of PHESGO, conduct a thorough cardiac assessment, including history, physical examination, and determination of LVEF by echocardiogram or MUGA scan. During treatment with PHESGO, assess LVEF at regular intervals.

If after a repeat assessment within approximately 3 weeks, the LVEF has not improved, has declined further, and/or the patient is symptomatic, permanently discontinue PHESGO. Following completion of PHESGO, continue to monitor for cardiomyopathy and assess LVEF measurements every 6 months for at least 2 years as a component of adjuvant therapy. PHESGO In the FeDeriCa trial, the percentage of patients with at least one cardiac disorder was 22% in the PHESGO arm. The most frequent cardiac adverse reaction in the PHESGO arm was ejection fraction decreased.

The incidence of cardiac failure (NYHA Class III/IV) with a LVEF decline ≥ 10% and a drop to less than 50% was 0.8% in the PHESGO arm. Confirmed asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (NYHA Class II) declines in LVEF ≥ 10% and a drop to less than 50% was 1.2% in the PHESGO arm . PHESGO and/or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab have not been studied in patients with a pretreatment LVEF value of < 55% (EBC) or <50% (MBC); a prior history of CHF, conditions that could impair left ventricular function such as uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment or a cumulative prior anthracycline exposure to > 360 mg/m 2 of doxorubicin or its equivalent.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

PHESGO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In post-marketing reports, use of intravenous trastuzumab during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. In an animal reproduction study, administration of intravenous pertuzumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis resulted in oligohydramnios, delayed fetal kidney development, and embryo-fetal death at exposures 2.5 to 20 times the exposure in humans at the recommended dose, based on C max.

Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of PHESGO. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential that exposure to PHESGO during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception can result in fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 7 months following the last dose of PHESGO.

Pulmonary Toxicity

PHESGO can cause serious and fatal pulmonary toxicity. These adverse reactions have been reported with intravenous trastuzumab. Pulmonary toxicity includes dyspnea, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusions, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, pulmonary insufficiency and hypoxia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pulmonary fibrosis.

Patients with symptomatic intrinsic lung disease or with extensive tumor involvement of the lungs, resulting in dyspnea at rest, appear to have more severe toxicity.

Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia

PHESGO may exacerbate chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. In randomized controlled clinical trials with intravenous trastuzumab, Grade 3-4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia were higher in patients receiving trastuzumab in combination with myelosuppressive chemotherapy as compared to those who received chemotherapy alone. The incidence of septic death was similar among patients who received trastuzumab and those who did not.

Hypersensitivity and Administration-Related Reactions Severe administration-related reactions (ARRs), including hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, and

events with fatal outcomes, have been associated with intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab. Patients experiencing dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy and comorbidities may be at increased risk of a severe or of a fatal ARR. In the FeDeriCa trial, the incidence of hypersensitivity was 1.2% in the PHESGO arm. Administration-related reactions occurred in 21% of patients who received PHESGO. In the PHESGO arm, the most common administration-related reactions were injection site reaction (15%) and injection site pain (2%). Closely monitor patients during and for 30 minutes after the injection of initial dose and during and for 15 minutes following subsequent injections of maintenance dose of PHESGO. If a significant injection-related reaction occurs, slow down or pause the injection and administer appropriate medical therapies.

Evaluate and carefully monitor patients until complete resolution of signs and symptoms. Permanently discontinue with PHESGO in patients who experience anaphylaxis or severe injection-related reactions. Medications to treat such reactions, as well as emergency equipment, should be available for immediate use.

For patients experiencing reversible Grade 1 or 2 hypersensitivity reactions, consider pre-medication with an analgesic, antipyretic, or an antihistamine prior to readministration of PHESGO . PHESGO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pertuzumab, trastuzumab, hyaluronidase or to any of its excipients .

Drug Interactions with Phesgo

Patients who receive anthracycline after stopping PHESGO may be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction because of PHESGO's long washout period . If possible, avoid anthracycline-based therapy for up to 7 months after stopping PHESGO. If anthracyclines are used, carefully monitor the patient's cardiac function.

Pregnancy Safety for Phesgo

Pregnancy If PHESGO is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving PHESGO or within 7 months following the last dose of PHESGO, health care providers and patients should immediately report PHESGO exposure to Genentech at 1-888-835-2555. Risk Summary PHESGO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In post-marketing reports, use of intravenous trastuzumab during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death (see Data ). In an animal reproduction study, administration of pertuzumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis resulted in oligohydramnios, delayed fetal kidney development, and embryo-fetal deaths at clinically relevant exposures that were 2.5 to 20-fold greater than exposures in humans receiving the recommended dose, based on C max (see Data ). Apprise the patient of the potential risks to a fetus. There are clinical considerations if PHESGO is used during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception (see Clinical Considerations ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Monitor women who received PHESGO during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception for oligohydramnios. If oligohydramnios occurs, perform fetal testing that is appropriate for gestational age and consistent with community standards of care.

Data Human Data In post-marketing reports, use of trastuzumab during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and of oligohydramnios sequence, manifesting in the fetus as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. These case reports described oligohydramnios in pregnant women who received trastuzumab either alone or in combination with chemotherapy. In some case reports, amniotic fluid index increased after trastuzumab was stopped.

In one case, trastuzumab therapy resumed after amniotic index improved and oligohydramnios recurred. Animal Data PHESGO for subcutaneous injection contains pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and hyaluronidase . Pertuzumab: Pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were treated on Gestational Day (GD) 19 with loading doses of 30 to 150 mg/kg pertuzumab, followed by bi-weekly doses of 10 to 100 mg/kg. These dose levels resulted in clinically relevant exposures of 2.5 to 20-fold greater than exposures in humans receiving the recommended dose, based on C max.

Intravenous administration of pertuzumab from GD19 through GD50 (period of organogenesis) was embryotoxic, with dose-dependent increases in embryo-fetal death between GD25 to GD70. The incidences of embryo-fetal loss were 33, 50, and 85%. At Caesarean section on GD100, oligohydramnios, decreased relative lung and kidney weights, and microscopic evidence of renal hypoplasia consistent with delayed renal development were identified in all pertuzumab dose groups. Pertuzumab exposure was reported in offspring from all treated groups, at levels of 29% to 40% of maternal serum levels at GD100. Trastuzumab: In studies where intravenous trastuzumab was administered to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 25 mg/kg given twice weekly (up to 25 times the recommended weekly human dose of 2 mg/kg), trastuzumab crossed the placental barrier during the early (Gestation Days 20 to 50) and late (Gestation Days 120 to 150) phases of gestation. The resulting concentrations of trastuzumab in fetal serum and amniotic fluid were approximately 33% and 25%, respectively, of those present in the maternal serum but were not associated with adverse developmental effects.

Hyaluronidase: In an embryo-fetal study, mice have been dosed daily by subcutaneous injection during the period of organogenesis with hyaluronidase (recombinant human) at dose levels up to 2,200,000 U/kg, which is >2,400 and 3,600, based on loading and maintenance doses, respectively, times higher than the human dose. The study found no evidence of teratogenicity. Reduced fetal weight and increased numbers of fetal resorptions were observed, with no effects found at a daily dose of 360,000 U/kg, which is >400 and 600, based on loading and maintenance doses, respectively, times higher than the human dose.

In a peri-and post-natal reproduction study, mice have been dosed daily by subcutaneous injection, with hyaluronidase (recombinant human) from implantation through lactation and weaning at dose levels up to 1,100,000 U/kg, which is >1,200 and 1,800, based on loading and maintenance doses, respectively, times higher than the human dose. The study found no adverse effects on sexual maturation, learning and memory or fertility of the offspring.

Clinical Studies of Phesgo

Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer

The effectiveness of PHESGO for use in combination with chemotherapy has been established for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer. Use of PHESGO for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies conducted with intravenous pertuzumab and intravenous trastuzumab administered in combination with chemotherapy in adults with HER2-overexpressing early breast cancer (NCT00545688, NCT00976989, NCT02132949, NCT01358877) and additional pharmacokinetic and safety data that demonstrated comparable pharmacokinetics and safety profiles between PHESGO and intravenous pertuzumab and intravenous trastuzumab in FeDeriCa. FeDeriCa The FeDeriCa trial (NCT03493854) was an open-label, multicenter, randomized trial conducted in 500 patients with operable or locally advanced (including inflammatory) HER2-positive breast cancer with a tumor size >2 cm or node-positive.

HER2 overexpression was defined as IHC 3+ in >10% of immunoreactive cells or HER2 gene amplification by ISH (ratio of HER2 gene signals to centromere 17 signals ≥2.0) using an FDA-approved test. Patients were randomized to receive 8 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent administration of 4 cycles of either PHESGO or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab during cycles 5-8, followed by surgery. Investigators selected one of two of the following neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens for individual patients: 4 cycles of doxorubicin (60 mg/m 2 ) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m 2 ) every 2 weeks followed by paclitaxel (80 mg/m 2 ) weekly for 12 weeks 4 cycles of doxorubicin (60 mg/m 2 ) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m 2 ) every 3 weeks followed by 4 cycles of docetaxel (75 mg/m 2 for the first cycle and then 100 mg/m 2 at subsequent cycles at the investigator's discretion) every 3 weeks Following surgery, patients continued therapy with PHESGO or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab as treated prior to surgery, for an additional 14 cycles, to complete 18 cycles of anti-HER2 therapy.

Patients also received adjuvant radiotherapy and endocrine therapy as per investigator's discretion. In adjuvant period, substitution of intravenous trastuzumab for subcutaneous trastuzumab was permitted at investigator discretion. Patients received HER2-targeted therapy every 3 weeks according to Table 5 as follows: Table 5: Dosing and Administration of PHESGO, Intravenous Pertuzumab, Intravenous Trastuzumab, and Subcutaneous Trastuzumab Medication Administration Dose Initial Maintenance PHESGO Subcutaneously 1200 mg/600 mg 600mg/600 mg Pertuzumab Intravenously 840 mg 420 mg Trastuzumab Intravenously 8 mg/kg 6 mg/kg Trastuzumab-oysk Subcutaneously In adjuvant period substitution of intravenous trastuzumab for subcutaneous trastuzumab was permitted at investigator discretion 600 mg FeDeriCa was designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Cycle 7 (i.e., pre-dose Cycle 8) pertuzumab serum C trough from PHESGO pertuzumab to the intravenous pertuzumab (major efficacy outcome measure) . Additional outcome measures included Cycle 7 serum trastuzumab C trough, efficacy (pathological complete response, defined as the absence of invasive neoplastic cells in the breast and in the axillary lymph nodes), and safety.

The median age of patients was 51 years (range: 25-81); 99% were female; 66% were White, 21% were Asian, 4% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 1.2% were Black or African American, 15% were Hispanic or Latino. The majority of patients had hormone receptor-positive disease (61%) or node-positive disease (58%).

Metastatic Breast Cancer

The effectiveness of PHESGO for use in combination with docetaxel has been established for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Use of PHESGO for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies conducted with intravenous pertuzumab and intravenous trastuzumab administered in combination with chemotherapy in adults with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (NCT00567190) and additional pharmacokinetic and safety data that demonstrated comparable pharmacokinetics and safety profiles between PHESGO and intravenous pertuzumab and intravenous trastuzumab in FeDeriCa.

Patient Experience

The PHranceSCa trial (NCT03674112) was a randomized, multi-center, open-label cross-over trial conducted in 160 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer undergoing adjuvant treatment. All patients completed neoadjuvant treatment with pertuzumab, trastuzumab and chemotherapy and had surgery before randomization. Following randomization, 80 patients in arm A received 3 cycles of intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab followed by 3 cycles of PHESGO and 80 patients in arm B received 3 cycles of PHESGO followed by 3 cycles of intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab.

All patients received 18 total cycles of HER2-targeted therapy. After Cycle 6, 136 out of 160 patients (85%) reported preferring subcutaneous administration of PHESGO over intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab and the most common reason was that administration required less time in the clinic. After Cycle 6, 22 out of 160 patients (14%) reported preferring intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab over PHESGO and the most common reason was feels more comfortable during administration.

Two out of 160 patients (1%) had no preference for the route of administration. All 160 patients (100%) completed the preference questionnaire.
