About CAMCEVI

Camcevi is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer in adult patients. It contains the active ingredient leuprolide mesylate and belongs to a class of drugs known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. The medication works by decreasing the levels of testosterone in the body. This medication is administered as a subcutaneous injection by a healthcare professional, usually once every six months. It is formulated as a sterile solution that provides a steady release of the drug over several months.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for CAMCEVI. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Feb 18, 2026

Indications and usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE CAMCEVI is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced prostate cancer. CAMCEVI is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced prostate cancer.
Dosage and administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION See Full Prescribing Information for instructions on the preparation and administration of the injectable emulsion in a pre-filled syringe. ( 2 ) Recommended Dosage: 42 mg subcutaneously every 6 months. ( 2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of CAMCEVI is 42 mg administered subcutaneously once every 6 months. 2.2 Preparation and Administration CAMCEVI must be administered by a healthcare provider. Important: Read the instructions completely before you administer Camcevi for the first time. Do NOT substitute any of the components from the kit for administration. CAMCEVI is packaged in a blister in the kit. Check to make sure the kit contains: One sterile, single-dose pre-filled syringe with plunger rod and backstop One sterile 18-gauge, 5/8-inch needle One Point-Lok ® Needle Protection Device Prescribing Information Follow the detailed instructions to ensure correct preparation of CAMCEVI prior to administration: STEP 1 Remove CAMCEVI kit from refrigerator. Keep the contents in their original, sealed blister carton and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before use. Return to refrigerator after 30 minutes if not used. STEP 2 On a clean, dry surface, open carton and remove the contents. Examine all contents of the package. Do not use if any component is damaged. Check the expiration date on the syringe. Do not use if the expiration date has passed. The use of gloves is recommended during syringe assembly and administration. STEP 3 Remove pre-filled syringe (A) and needle cartridge (B) from the blister tray. Visually inspect the syringe for particulate matter prior to administration. The emulsion should appear off-white to pale yellow, viscous, and opalescent. Do not use if particulate matter is observed prior to administration. STEP 4 Remove the gray cap from the syringe (A). Twist the clear cap off the bottom of the needle cartridge (B). Attach the needle (B) to the end of the syringe (A) by pushing and turning the needle until firmly connected to the syringe. Do not over twist the needle and strip the threading. See figure of assembled pre-filled syringe below. STEP 5 Choose an injection site on the upper- or mid-abdominal area with sufficient soft or loose subcutaneous tissue that has not recently been used. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Do NOT inject in areas with brawny or fibrous subcutaneous tissue or locations that can be rubbed or compressed (i.e., with a belt or clothing waistband). In addition, avoid applying heat directly to the site of Camcevi injection. STEP 6 Pull the blue cover off the needle (B). Use standard sharps safety techniques to avoid needle sticks. STEP 7 Use standard aseptic technique when performing the injection. Grab and bunch the skin around the injection site with one hand. Insert the needle at a 90° angle to the skin surface, and then release the bunched skin. STEP 8 Inject the full contents of the syringe with a slow and steady push on the plunger, and then withdraw the needle at the same 90° angle used for insertion. STEP 9 Do not remove the needle from the syringe. Use the enclosed Point-Lok ® device to prevent needle sticks. Retrieve the Point-Lok ® needle protection device from the Camcevi kit and place it on a secured, flat surface with its largest surface base touching the surface as shown in the diagram. Immediately after use of the needle, gently insert the exposed needle into the Point-Lok ® device opening at the top of the Point-Lok ® device. (see Figure 1) Push the needle into the top opening until it is fully inserted into the Point-Lok ® device. This action will seal the needle tip and lock the needle firmly into the Point-Lok ® device. (see Figure 2) STEP 10 After use, discard all components safely in a suitable sharps container. Dispose of the syringe and contaminated products according to local regulations/procedures. camcevi-inj-image-3 camcevi-inj-image-2 camcevi-inj-image-4 camcevi-inj-image-5 camcevi-inj-image-6 camcevi-inj-image-7 camcevi-inj-image-8 camcevi-inj-image-9
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS CAMCEVI is contraindicated in patients known to be hypersensitive to GnRH, GnRH agonist analogs, or any of the excipients in CAMCEVI. Anaphylactic reactions to GnRH agonist analogs have been reported in the medical literature. Hypersensitivity to GnRH, GnRH agonist analogs, or any of the components of CAMCEVI. ( 4 )
Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Tumor Flare: Transient worsening of bone pain, uretral obstruction, spinal cord compression, or the occurrence of additional signs and symptoms of prostate cancer may develop during the first few weeks of treatment. Monitor patients closely and manage symptoms. ( 5.1 ) Hyperglycemia and Diabetes: Hyperglycemia and an increased risk of developing diabetes have been reported in men receiving GnRH agonists. Monitor blood glucose levels and manage according to current clinical practice. ( 5.2 ) Cardiovascular Diseases: Increased risk of myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and stroke has been reported in men receiving GnRH agonists. Monitor for cardiovascular disease and manage according to current clinical practice. ( 5.3 ) QT/QTc Prolongation: Androgen deprivation therapy may prolong the QT interval. Consider periodic monitoring of electrocardiograms and electrolytes. ( 5.4 ) Convulsions: Manage convulsions according to the current clinical practice. ( 5.5 ) Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions: CAMCEVI can cause severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis. Interrupt CAMCEVI if signs or symptoms of SCARs develop. Permanently discontinue if SCARs are confirmed. ( 5.6 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: CAMCEVI may cause fetal harm. ( 5.8 , 8.1 ) 5.1 Tumor Flare CAMCEVI, like other GnRH agonists, causes a transient increase in serum levels of testosterone during the first week of treatment, declining thereafter to baseline levels or below by the end of the second week of treatment. Transient worsening of symptoms, or the occurrence of additional signs and symptoms of prostate cancer, may develop during the first few weeks of CAMCEVI treatment. Patients treated with CAMCEVI may experience a temporary increase in bone pain, which can be managed symptomatically. Cases of ureteral obstruction and spinal cord compression have been observed, which may contribute to paralysis with or without fatal complications. Patients with metastatic vertebral lesions and/or with urinary tract obstruction should be closely observed during the first few weeks of therapy. 5.2 Hyperglycemia and Diabetes Hyperglycemia and an increased risk of developing diabetes have been reported in men receiving GnRH agonists. Hyperglycemia may represent the development of diabetes mellitus or worsening of glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Monitor blood glucose and/or glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) periodically in patients receiving a GnRH agonist and manage with current practice for treatment of hyperglycemia or diabetes. 5.3 Cardiovascular Diseases Increased risk of developing myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and stroke has been reported in association with use of GnRH agonists in men. The risk appears low based on the reported odds ratios, and should be evaluated carefully along with cardiovascular risk factors when determining a treatment for patients with prostate cancer. Patients receiving a GnRH agonist should be monitored for symptoms and signs suggestive of development of cardiovascular disease and be managed according to current clinical practice. 5.4 QT/QTc Prolongation Androgen deprivation therapy may prolong the QT/QTc interval. Providers should consider whether the benefits of androgen deprivation therapy outweigh the potential risks in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, congestive heart failure, frequent electrolyte abnormalities, and in patients taking drugs known to prolong the QT interval. Electrolyte abnormalities should be corrected. Consider periodic monitoring of electrocardiograms and electrolytes. 5.5 Convulsions Convulsions have been reported in patients receiving GnRH agonists, like CAMCEVI [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )]. Manage patients receiving a GnRH agonist who experience convulsions according to current clinical practice. 5.6 Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions CAMCEVI can cause severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). SCARs, including SJS/TEN, DRESS, and AGEP, occurred in patients receiving CAMCEVI or other GnRH agonists; including cases with visceral involvement and/or requiring skin grafts [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Monitor patients for the development of SCARs. If a SCAR is suspected, interrupt CAMCEVI until the etiology of the reaction has been determined. Consultation with a dermatologist is recommended. If a SCAR is confirmed, or for other grade 4 skin reactions, permanently discontinue CAMCEVI. 5.7 Laboratory Tests Monitor serum levels of testosterone following injection of CAMCEVI. In the majority of patients treated with CAMCEVI, testosterone levels increased above baseline during the first week, and then declined thereafter to castration levels (<50 ng/dL) within 4 weeks [see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6 )]. 5.8 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in animal studies and mechanism of action, CAMCEVI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal developmental and reproductive toxicology studies, administration of a monthly formulation of leuprolide on day 6 of pregnancy (sustained exposure was expected throughout the period of organogenesis) caused adverse embryo-fetal toxicity in animals at doses less than the human dose based on body surface area using an estimated daily dose. Advise pregnant patients and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus [see Use in Specific Population ( 8.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )].
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Tumor Flare [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Hyperglycemia and Diabetes [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Cardiovascular Diseases [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] QT/QTc Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Convulsions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] The most common (≥5%) adverse reactions were hot flushes, hypertension, injection site reactions, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infections, musculoskeletal pain, pain in extremity, arthralgia, micturition urgency, nocturia, and dizziness. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Accord BioPharma Inc. at 1-866-941-7875 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch 6.1 Clinical Trial 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. FP01C-13-001 The safety of CAMCEVI was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, international clinical trial (FP01C-13-001) in patients with advanced prostate cancer. Patients received CAMCEVI administered subcutaneously at a dose of 42 mg on Day 0 and Day 168. Of 137 patients enrolled, 93% received both doses of CAMCEVI. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 15% of patients who received CAMCEVI, including 1% of patients who experienced subdural hematoma. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients, including cerebrovascular accident (0.7%) and pulmonary embolism (0.7%). The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) occurring during a median follow-up duration of 336 days were hot flush, hypertension, injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and pain in extremity. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions in FP01C-13-001. Table 1.

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. During postmarketing surveillance, which includes other dosage forms and other patient populations, the following adverse reactions were reported. Allergic Conditions: hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, rash, urticaria, and photosensitivity reactions Cardiovascular System: hypotension, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism Central/Peripheral Nervous System: convulsion, peripheral neuropathy, spinal fracture/paralysis Endocrine System: pituitary apoplexy, diabetes Hepato-biliary disorder: drug-induced liver injury Hematologic: leukopenia Psychiatric: mood swings, including depression, suicidal ideation and attempt Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorder: interstitial lung disease Musculoskeletal System: decreased bone density, tenosynovitis-like symptoms, fibromyalgia Skin and Subcutaneous: injection site induration or swelling, SJS/TEN, DRESS, AGEP, dermatitis exfoliative, bullous dermatitis, and erythema multiforme Urogenital System: prostate pain
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and mechanism of action, CAMCEVI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )]. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal developmental and reproductive toxicology studies, administration of a monthly formulation of leuprolide on day 6 of pregnancy (sustained exposure was expected throughout the period of organogenesis) caused adverse embryo-fetal toxicity in animals at doses less than the human dose based on body surface area using an estimated daily dose (see data) . Advise pregnant patients and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus. Data Animal Data Major fetal malformations were observed in developmental and reproductive toxicology studies in rabbits after a single administration of a monthly formulation of leuprolide administered on day 6 of pregnancy at test dosages of 0.00024, 0.0024, and 0.024 mg/kg (approximately 1/1500 to 1/15 the human dose based on body surface area using an estimated daily dose in animals and humans). Since a depot formulation was utilized in the study, a sustained exposure to leuprolide was expected throughout the period of organogenesis and to the end of gestation. Similar studies in rats did not demonstrate an increase in fetal malformations, however, there was increased fetal mortality and decreased fetal weights with the two higher doses of the monthly formulation of leuprolide in rabbits and with the highest dose in rats.
