Treatment must be initiated and supervised by physicians experienced in the treatment of cancer, and should only be administered by healthcare professionals in an environment where resuscitation equipment is available. Posology The recommended dose is 1 mg/kg mogamulizumab administered as an intravenous infusion over at least 60 minutes.
Administration is weekly on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of the first 28-day cycle, followed by infusions every two weeks on Days 1 and 15 of each subsequent 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. POTELIGEO should be administered within 2 days of the scheduled day.
If a dose is missed by more than 2 days, the next dose should be administered as soon as possible, after which the dosing schedule should be resumed with doses given based on the new scheduled days. Pre-medication with anti-pyretic and anti-histamine is recommended for the first POTELIGEO infusion.
If an infusion reaction occurs, administer pre-medication for subsequent POTELIGEO infusions. Dose modification Dermatologic reactions Patients receiving mogamulizumab have experienced drug rash (drug eruption), some of which were severe and/or serious.
• In the event of a rash (drug related) with severity of Grade 2 or 3 (moderate or severe), treatment with mogamulizumab must be interrupted and the rash should be treated appropriately until rash improves to Grade 1 or less (mild severity), at which time mogamulizumab treatment may be resumed.
4). Infusion-related reactions • The infusion of POTELIGEO should be temporarily interrupted for mild to severe (Grades 1-3) infusion-related reactions and symptoms treated. The infusion rate should be reduced by at least 50% when re-starting the infusion after symptoms resolve.
4). 4). Special populations Paediatric population The safety and efficacy of POTELIGEO in children and adolescents aged below 18 years have not been established. No data are available. 2). 2). Hepatic impairment Based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis, no dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment.
2). Method of administration POTELIGEO is for intravenous use. It should be administered by intravenous infusion only, over at least 60 minutes. See above recommendations in case of infusion-related reaction. 6.
Summary of the safety profile The most frequently reported serious adverse reactions were pneumonia, pyrexia, infusion related reaction and cellulitis. The most frequently reported adverse reactions were infusion-related reaction and rash (drug eruption); most of these reactions were non-serious and Grades 1 or 2.

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. Dermatologic reactions Patients receiving mogamulizumab have experienced drug rash (drug eruption), some of which were severe and/or serious.
When mogamulizumab has been administered to patients with T-cell lymphomas other than MF or SS, serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported in less than 1% of patients during clinical trials, and also reported during the post-marketing period; some of these cases were reported with fatal outcomes.
Patients should be closely monitored for symptoms or signs that suggest SJS or TEN. If they occur, POTELIGEO should be interrupted and treatment should not restart unless SJS or TEN is ruled out and cutaneous reaction has resolved to Grade 1 or less.
If SJS/TEN occur, appropriate medical therapy should be administered. 2 for dose modification information. 4 Infusion-related reactions Acute infusion-related reactions (IRRs) have been observed in patients treated with mogamulizumab.
The IRRs were mostly mild or moderate in severity, although there have been a few reports of severe reactions (Grade 3). The majority of IRRs occur during or shortly after the first infusion (all within 24 hours of administration), with the incidence decreasing over subsequent treatments.
Patients should be carefully monitored during and after infusion. If an anaphylactic reaction occurs, administration of mogamulizumab should be immediately and permanently discontinued and appropriate medical therapy should be administered.
If an IRR occurs, the infusion should be interrupted and appropriate medical management instituted. The infusion may be restarted at a slower rate after symptom resolution. 2 for pre- medication and dose modification information. Infections Subjects with MF or SS treated with mogamulizumab are at increased risk of serious infection and/or viral reactivation.

Description of selected adverse reactions Dermatologic reactions Patients receiving POTELIGEO have experienced drug rash (drug eruption), some of which were severe and/or serious. 3% of patients. No trend in latency to event onset was identified for drug eruptions and rashes; both early and late-onset events occurred.
Infusion-related reactions Infusion-related reactions have been observed in 33% of patients treated with POTELIGEO. The majority of treatment-related infusion-related reactions were Grade 1 or 2 and occurred during or shortly after the first infusion.
Severe reactions (Grade 3) were experienced by 4% of patients. 8% of subjects after two or more infusions. Infusion interruptions occurred in approximately 6% of patients, most of which (approximately 90%) occurred within the first cycle of treatment with mogamulizumab.
Less than 1% of patients treated in Clinical Trial 0761-010 discontinued treatment due to infusion- related reactions. 7 Serious infections Patients with MF or SS are at increased risk of serious infection due to the disruption of dermal integrity caused by cutaneous disease, as well as the immunosuppressive effects of extracutaneous disease, and treatment with mogamulizumab may increase that risk.
3% of subjects receiving mogamulizumab. The latency to event onset following the first dose varied considerably. The majority of patients recovered from infection. In the clinical trial (0761-010), there were 2 reports of respiratory failure with fatal outcome in patients with severe pneumonia occurring more than 9 months after starting treatment with mogamulizumab.
Immunogenicity Following infusion of POTELIGEO during clinical trials of the use of POTELIGEO in patients with adult T-cell leukaemia-lymphoma or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, approximately 14% of patients (44 out of 313 evaluable patients) tested positive for treatment emergent anti-mogamulizumab antibodies.
There were no patients identified to have positive neutralising antibody responses. Gastrointestinal disorders Colitis was mainly characterized by watery diarrhoea, in some cases excessive. 6%), experienced at least one serious adverse drug reaction (SADR) that occurred within 90 days from the date of last study drug administration.
6%] patients). 3%). The safety profile observed in the 90 days following the last dose of mogamulizumab is consistent with the safety profile observed during the study treatment period. Elderly The safety profile in elderly patients (≥ 65 years) was generally consistent with that of adult patients, except for dermatologic reactions and infusion related reactions which were seen more often in older subjects.
Reporting suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions […]
The combination of mogamulizumab with systemic immune modulating medicinal products or with other licensed therapies for MF or SS has not been studied and is, therefore, not recommended, especially in consideration of the risk of severe infections in patients treated with mogamulizumab.
Topical steroids or low doses of systemic corticosteroids may be used during treatment with mogamulizumab; however, the risk of serious infection and/or viral reactivation may be higher in case of concomitant administration with systemic immunosuppressive agents.
Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of infection and treated promptly. Patients should be tested for hepatitis B infection before initiating treatment with mogamulizumab. For patients who test positive for current/previous hepatitis B infection, consultation with a physician with expertise in the treatment of hepatitis B is recommended for advice concerning appropriate measures against hepatitis B reactivation.
Complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after mogamulizumab Complications, including severe graft versus host disease (GVHD), have been reported in patients with T-cell lymphomas other than MF or SS who received allogeneic HSCT after mogamulizumab.
A higher risk of transplant complications has been reported if mogamulizumab is given within a short time frame (approximately 50 days) before HSCT. Follow patients closely for early evidence of transplant-related complications. The safety of treatment with mogamulizumab after autologous or allogeneic HSCT has not been studied.
Tumour lysis syndrome Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) has been observed in patients receiving mogamulizumab. TLS was observed most frequently during the first month of treatment. Patients with rapidly proliferating tumour and high tumour burden are at risk of TLS.
Patients should be monitored closely by appropriate laboratory and clinical tests for electrolyte status, hydration and renal function, particularly in the first month of treatment, and managed according to best medical practice. Management of TLS may include aggressive hydration, correction of electrolyte abnormalities, anti-hyperuricaemic therapy, and supportive care.
Cardiac disorders One case of acute myocardial infarction has been observed in a clinical trial patient with MF/SS receiving mogamulizumab. In clinical trial patients with other T-cell lymphomas there have been reports of stress cardiomyopathy (one case) and acute myocardial infarction (one case).
The subjects had a medical history including various risk factors. Patients who have risk factors associated with cardiac disease should be monitored and appropriate precautions taken. 5 Large cell transformation (LCT) There are limited data available on patients with LCT.
Other Mogamulizumab should not be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, by rapid intravenous administration, or as an intravenous bolus. This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium per dose, that is to say essentially ‘sodium free’.
