IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
|
WARNING: SEVERE NEUTROPENIA AND SEVERE DIARRHEA
Neutropenia
|
• |
Severe and life-threatening neutropenia, including fatal neutropenic sepsis and fatal neutropenic fever, has occurred in patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin and in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin. Withhold ONIVYDE for absolute neutrophil count below 1500/mm3 or neutropenic fever. Monitor blood cell counts periodically during treatment. |
Diarrhea
|
• |
Severe and life-threatening diarrhea has occurred in patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin and in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin. Do not administer ONIVYDE to patients with bowel obstruction. Withhold ONIVYDE for diarrhea of Grade 2-4 severity. Administer loperamide for late diarrhea of any severity. Administer atropine, if not contraindicated, for early diarrhea of any severity. | | | | |
CONTRAINDICATIONS
|
• |
ONIVYDE is contraindicated in patients who have experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to ONIVYDE or irinotecan HCl. |
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
|
• |
Severe Neutropenia:
See Boxed WARNING. In NAPOLI 3, Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia occurred in 26% of patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (NALIRIFOX) and fatal neutropenic fever in 0.3% of patients. In NAPOLI 3, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was similar among Asian patients [6 of 20 (30%)] compared to White patients [76 of 289 (26%)]. Neutropenic fever/neutropenic sepsis was reported in 5% of Asian patients (1 of 20) compared to 2.3% of White patients (7 of 306). In NAPOLI-1, Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia occurred in 20% of patients receiving ONIVYDE in combination with fluorouracil and leucovorin (ONIVYDE/ FU/LV). Neutropenic sepsis occurred in 3% and fatal neutropenic sepsis in 0.8%. In NAPOLI-1, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was
higher among Asian patients [18 of 33 (55%)] compared to White patients [13 of 73 (18%)]. Neutropenic fever/neutropenic sepsis was reported in 6% of Asian patients compared to 1% of White patients.
Monitor complete blood cell counts on Days 1 and 8 of every cycle and more frequently if clinically indicated. Withhold ONIVYDE if the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is below 1500/mm3 or if neutropenic fever occurs. Resume ONIVYDE when the ANC is 1500/mm3 or above. Reduce ONIVYDE dose for Grade 3-4 neutropenia or neutropenic fever following recovery in subsequent cycles. |
|
• |
Severe Diarrhea: See Boxed WARNING. In NAPOLI 3, Grade 3 and 4 diarrhea (early-onset [within 24 hours of chemotherapy] and late-onset [more than 24 hours following chemotherapy]) occurred in 20% receiving NALIRIFOX. In NAPOLI-1, Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea occurred in 13% receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV. The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 late-onset diarrhea was 9% in patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV. The incidence of Grade 3 or 4 early-onset diarrhea was 3% in patients receiving ONIVYDE/FU/LV.
To reduce the risk of severe diarrhea, patients should stop lactose-containing products, eat a low-fat diet, and maintain hydration during treatment with ONIVYDE. Withhold ONIVYDE for Grade 2-4 diarrhea. Local institutional guidelines should be followed for the treatment of diarrhea that does not improve within 48 hours and may include the addition of diphenoxylate hydrochloride plus atropine sulfate or octreotide. Following recovery to Grade 1 diarrhea, resume ONIVYDE at a reduced dose. |
|
• |
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): Irinotecan HCl can cause severe and fatal ILD. Patients with risk factors should be closely monitored for respiratory symptoms before and during ONIVYDE therapy. Withhold ONIVYDE in patients with new or progressive dyspnea, cough, and fever, pending diagnostic evaluation. Discontinue ONIVYDE in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ILD. |
|
• |
Severe Hypersensitivity Reaction: Irinotecan, including ONIVYDE, can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions. Permanently discontinue ONIVYDE in patients who experience a severe hypersensitivity reaction. |
|
• |
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: ONIVYDE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and for 7 months after the last dose of ONIVYDE treatment. |
