ONIVYDE PEGYLATED LIPOSOMAL (IRINOTECAN) CONCENTRATE FOR DISPERSION FOR INFUSION 4.3 MG/ML

[SIN15397P]

6 INDICATION AND USAGE

ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal is indicated, in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin, for the treatment of patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas after disease progression following gemcitabine-based therapy.

Limitation of Use: ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal is not indicated as a single agent for the treatment of patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas [see Clinical Studies (5) – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information].

13 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
13.1 Important Use Information

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal for other drugs containing irinotecan HCl.

13.2 Recommended Use

Administer ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal prior to leucovorin and fluorouracil [see Clinical Studies (5) – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information].

• The recommended dose of ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal is 70 mg/m² administered by intravenous infusion over 90 minutes every 2 weeks.

• A reduced starting dose of ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal of 50 mg/m² should be considered in patients known to be homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele. A dose increase of ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal to 70 mg/m² should be considered if tolerated in subsequent cycles.

• There is no recommended dose of ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal for patients with serum bilirubin above the upper limit of normal [see Adverse Reactions (9.1) and Clinical Studies (5) – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information].

Premedication
Administer a corticosteroid and an anti-emetic 30 minutes prior to ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal infusion.

13.3 Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions

All dose modifications should be based on the worst preceding toxicity. LV dose does not require adjustment. For Grade 1 and 2 toxicities, there are no dose modifications recommended. Dose adjustments, as summarized in Table 5 and Table 6, are recommended to manage Grade 3 or 4 toxicities related to ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal.

For patients who start treatment with 50 mg/m² ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal and do not dose escalate to 70 mg/m², the recommended first dose reduction is to 43 mg/m² and the second dose reduction is to 35 mg/m². Patients who require further dose reduction should discontinue treatment.

Patients who are known to be homozygous for UGT1A1*28 and without drug related toxicities during the first cycle of therapy (reduced dose of 50 mg/m²) may have the dose of ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal increased to a total dose of 70 mg/m² in subsequent cycles based on individual patient tolerance.

For recommended dose modifications of fluorouracil (5-FU) or leucovorin (LV), refer to the Full Prescribing Information; refer to Clinical Studies (5) – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information.
