ELZONRIS should be administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of anti-cancer agents. Appropriate resuscitation equipment should be available. Posology The recommended dose is 12 mcg/kg tagraxofusp administered as an intravenous infusion over 15 minutes, once daily, on days 1-5 of a 21-day cycle.
The dosing period may be extended for dose delays up to day 10 of the cycle. 4). First treatment cycle The first cycle of ELZONRIS should be administered in the in-patient setting. 4) until at least 24 hours after the last infusion. Subsequent treatment cycles 3 ELZONRIS can be administered in the in-patient setting or in a suitable out-patient ambulatory care setting that is equipped for intensive monitoring of patients with haematopoietic malignancies undergoing treatment.
g. g. 4). Dose adjustments Vital signs should be monitored and albumin, transaminases, and creatinine checked prior to preparing each dose of ELZONRIS. See Table 1 for recommended dose modifications and Table 2 for capillary leak syndrome (CLS) management guidelines.
Vital signs should be monitored frequently during dosing. 5 times the upper limit of normal. 8 mg/dL (159 micromol/L) or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/minute. Systolic blood pressure Systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or ≤ 80 mmHg Withhold treatment until systolic blood pressure is < 160 mmHg or > 80 mmHg.
Heart rate Heart rate ≥ 130 bpm or ≤ 40 bpm Withhold treatment until heart rate is < 130 bpm or > 40 bpm. Body temperature Body temperature ≥ 38 °C Withhold treatment until body temperature is < 38 °C. Hypersensitivity reactions Mild or moderate Withhold treatment until resolution of any mild or moderate hypersensitivity reaction.

, required administration of intravenous fluids and/or vasopressors to treat hypotension) (even if resolved). - Administration may only resume in the next cycle if all CLS signs/symptoms have resolved, and the patient is haemodynamically stable.
2). 2). 2). Generally, safety was similar between elderly patients (≥ 65 years of age) and patients less than 65 years of age treated with ELZONRIS. e. 5 kg greater than the previous day’s pre-dose weight). 5 g/dL. Administer 1 mg/kg of methylprednisolone (or an equivalent) per day, until resolution of CLS sign/symptom or as indicated clinically.
4) which was reported in 18% of patients with a median time to onset of CLS of 6 days. Adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 20% of patients treated with ELZONRIS were hypoalbuminemia, increased transaminases, thrombocytopenia, nausea, fatigue and pyrexia.
Adverse reactions grade 3 and above according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse events (CTCAE) and occurring in > 5% of patients were increased transaminases, thrombocytopenia and anaemia. Tabulated list of adverse reactions The adverse reaction frequency is listed by MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC) at the preferred term level.
Frequencies of occurrence of adverse reactions are defined as: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10) and uncommon (≥ 1/1000 to < 1/100). The adverse reactions described in this section were identified in clinical studies of patients with haematologic malignancies (N=176), including 89 patients with BPDCN.
In these studies, ELZONRIS was administered as monotherapy at doses of 7 mcg/kg (12/176, 7%), 9 mcg/kg (9/176, 5%) and 12 mcg/kg (155/176, 88%). Incidence and severity of adverse reaction in patients with BPDCN were similar to those of the entire studied population.

Traceability In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded. Capillary leak syndrome Capillary leak syndrome (CLS), including life-threatening and fatal cases have been reported with most events occuring during the first five days of the first cycle of treatment.
The most frequent signs and symptoms of CLS included weight increased, hypoalbuminemia and hypotension. The incidence of weight increased, hypoalbuminemia, hypotension, and blood alkaline phosphatase increased are all higher among patients who experienced CLS compared to patients that did not experience CLS.
8). 2 g/dL. During treatment, regularly monitor serum albumin levels prior to the initiation of each dose, or more often as clinically indicated. Additionally, assess patients for other signs/symptoms of CLS including weight gain, new onset or worsening oedema, including pulmonary oedema, and hypotension including haemodynamic instability (see Table 2).
Patients should be made aware of identifying CLS symptoms and when to seek immediate medical attention. 2). Hypersensitivity reactions Severe hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with ELZONRIS. 8). Monitor patients for hypersensitivity reactions during treatment.
2). 8). The majority of events were reported in cycle 1 and cycle 2 of treatment, were not dose-limiting and did not recur in subsequent cycles. Patients should be routinely monitored and treated as clinically indicated. 8). Identify TLS based on clinical presentation and symptoms, including acute renal failure, hyperkalaemia, hypocalcaemia, hyperuricaemia, or hyperphosphataemia from tumour lysis.
Patients considered at high risk for TLS due to high tumour burden should be managed as clinically indicated, including correction of electrolyte abnormalities, monitoring of renal function and fluid balance, and administration of supportive care.

Aggressive management of fluid status and hypotension if present, which could include intravenous fluids and/or diuretics or other blood pressure management, until resolution of CLS sign/symptom or as clinically indicated. 1). […]
8). Acute hepatic failure and liver encephalopathy has been reported in a patient treated with ELZONRIS at a higher dose (16 mcg/kg). During treatment, regularly monitor ALT and AST levels prior to the initiation of each dose. 2). 3). While not observed in clinical studies, if clinical symptoms or signs suggestive of central nervous system (CNS) damage occur, full clinical and neuro-imaging examination, including fundoscopy and brain magnetic resonance imaging, is recommended.
CNS-involved BPDCN The passage of tagraxofusp through the blood brain barrier is unknown. Other treatment alternatives should be considered if CNS disease is present. Women of childbearing potential/contraception In women of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test should be obtained within 7 days prior to initiation of therapy.
Effective contraception should be used before the first dose is administered and for at least one week after the last dose. Hereditary fructose intolerence Patients with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) must not be given this medicinal product unless strictly necessary.
