About KIMMTRAK

What is this medication? KIMMTRAK is a prescription immunotherapy medication specifically used to treat a type of eye cancer known as uveal melanoma. It is indicated for adults whose cancer is unresectable, meaning it cannot be removed by surgery, or metastatic, meaning it has spread to other parts of the body. This treatment is exclusively for patients who have a specific genetic tissue type called HLA-A*02:01, which must be confirmed by a healthcare provider through a diagnostic test before starting the medication.

The medication works as a bispecific gp100 peptide-HLA-directed T cell receptor engager. It functions by bridging the body's own immune cells, specifically T cells, to the melanoma cells that express a protein called gp100. This connection allows the immune system to recognize, target, and destroy the cancerous cells more effectively. KIMMTRAK is administered as a weekly intravenous infusion by a healthcare professional, typically in a clinical setting where the patient can be monitored for potential side effects.

Resume KIMMTRAK at same dose level if the elevated liver enzymes occur in the setting of Grade 3 CRS; resume escalation if next administration is tolerated. If the elevated liver enzymes occur outside the setting of Grade 3 CRS resume escalation if the current dose is less than 68 mcg, or resume at same dose level if dose escalation has completed Administer intravenous corticosteroids if no improvement within 24 hours Other Adverse Reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] Grade 3 a Withhold KIMMTRAK until ≤ Grade 1 or baseline Resume KIMMTRAK at same dose level (i.e., do not escalate if other Grade 3 adverse reaction occurred during initial dose escalation; resume escalation once dosage is tolerated) Grade 4 a Permanently discontinue KIMMTRAK 2.4 Preparation and Administration Preparation A 2-step dilution process is required for preparation of the final KIMMTRAK dose for infusion. Use aseptic technique for dilution and preparation of intravenous infusion solutions. Visually inspect parenteral drug products and infusion bags for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Step 1: Preparation of the Infusion Bag To prevent adsorption of tebentafusp-tebn to the infusion bag and other components of the drug delivery system, prepare an Albumin (Human) in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP solution as follows: Using a 1 mL syringe with graduations of 2 decimal places and a sterile needle, withdraw the calculated volume of Albumin (Human) into the syringe (see Table 2 below) and add to the 100 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP bag constructed of polyolefins (PO) [such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP)] or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to make a final Albumin (Human) concentration of 250 mcg/mL. Table 2: Examples of Albumin (Human) Concentration and Volumes *Albumin (Human); use concentration as per local availability. Examples include but are not restricted to the following strengths: 5%, 20%, or 25%. Albumin (Human) concentration* Albumin (Human) volume for addition to a 100 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP Infusion Bag to prepare a concentration of 250 mcg/mL Albumin (Human) in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 5% (50 g/L) 0.5 mL 20% (200 g/L) 0.13 mL 25% (250 g/L) 0.1 mL Gently homogenize the prepared solution by completing the following steps: Invert the infusion bag so that the bag is upside down with the entry port positioned on top. Then tap the side of the port tubing to ensure that any residual solution is released into the bulk solution. Mix the prepared solution by gently rotating the bag lengthwise 360 degrees from the inverted position at least 5 times. Do not shake the infusion bag. Repeat (i) and (ii) an additional three times. Step 2- Preparation of KIMMTRAK Solution for Infusion Do not shake the KIMMTRAK vial. Using a 1 mL syringe with graduations of 2 decimal places and a sterile needle, withdraw the required volume of KIMMTRAK 100 mcg/ 0.5 mL as per the dose required (shown in Table 3 below) and add to the prepared 100 mL infusion bag containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP plus Albumin (Human). Discard the single-dose vial containing the unused portion of KIMMTRAK in accordance with local requirements. Do not prepare more than one dose from the vial. Table 3: KIMMTRAK Volumes Required for Addition to the Infusion Bag Day of treatment Dose (mcg) of KIMMTRAK Volume (mL) of KIMMTRAK Day 1 20 0.1 Day 8 30 0.15 Day 15 and weekly thereafter 68 0.34 Mix the infusion bag by following the same procedure outlined in Step 1b. Administration Immediately administer the diluted solution via intravenous infusion over 15-20 minutes through a dedicated intravenous line. A sterile, non-pyrogenic, low protein binding 0.2 micron in-line filter infusion set should be used. Administer the entire contents of the KIMMTRAK infusion bag. Administer the prepared infusion bag within 4 hours from the time of preparation including the duration of infusion. During the 4-hour window, the KIMMTRAK infusion bag should remain at room temperature. If not used immediately, store the KIMMTRAK infusion bag in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) and infuse within 24 hours from the time of preparation, which includes the storage time in the refrigerator, the time allowed for equilibration of the infusion bag to room temperature, and the duration of the infusion. Once removed from the refrigerator, do not refrigerate KIMMTRAK infusion bag again. Do not freeze. Discard unused KIMMTRAK solution beyond the recommended storage time. Do not mix KIMMTRAK with other drugs or administer other drugs through the same intravenous line. Upon completion of KIMMTRAK infusion, flush the infusion line with adequate volume of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to ensure that the entire contents of the infusion bag are administered.

Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Skin reactions : Rash, pruritus, and cutaneous edema occurred in patients treated with KIMMTRAK. If skin reactions occur, treat based on persistence and severity of symptoms ( 2.3 , 5.2 ). Elevated liver enzymes : Elevations in liver enzymes occurred in patients treated with KIMMTRAK. Monitor ALT, AST, and total bilirubin ( 2.3 , 5.3 ). Embryo-Fetal toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ). 5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which may be life threatening, occurred in patients receiving KIMMTRAK. Manifestations of CRS may include fever, hypotension, hypoxia, chills, nausea, vomiting, rash, elevated transaminases, fatigue, and headache. CRS (≥ Grade 2) occurred in 77% of patients in Study IMCgp100-202 who received KIMMTRAK [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Among patients who received KIMMTRAK, 23% received systemic corticosteroids for at least 1 infusion, 8% received supplemental oxygen during at least 1 infusion, and 0.8% received a vasopressor for at least 1 infusion. CRS led to permanent discontinuation in 1.2% of patients. In Study IMCgp100-202, 60% of patients experienced ≥ Grade 2 CRS with more than 1 infusion, with the median number of events being 2 (range 1 - 12). The majority (84%) of episodes of CRS started the day of infusion. Among cases that resolved, the median time to resolution of CRS was 2 days. Ensure that healthcare providers administering KIMMTRAK have immediate access to medications and resuscitative equipment to manage CRS. Ensure patients are euvolemic prior to initiating the infusions. Closely monitor patients for signs or symptoms of CRS following infusions of KIMMTRAK [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Monitor fluid status, vital signs, and oxygenation level and provide appropriate therapy. Withhold or discontinue KIMMTRAK depending on persistence and severity of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.2 Skin Reactions Skin reactions, including rash, pruritus, and cutaneous edema occurred in patients treated with KIMMTRAK. In study IMCgp100-202, skin reactions occurred in 91% of patients treated with KIMMTRAK, including Grade 2 (44%) and Grade 3 (21%) events. Skin reactions included rash (83%), pruritus (69%), erythema (25%), and cutaneous edema (27%) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . The median time to onset of skin reactions was 1 day (range: 1 – 55 days). The median time to improvement to ≤ Grade 1 was approximately 6 days. Monitor patients for skin reactions. If skin reactions occur, treat with antihistamine and topical or systemic steroids based on persistence and severity of symptoms. Withhold or permanently discontinue KIMMTRAK depending on the severity of skin reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.3 Elevated Liver Enzymes In Study IMCgp100-202, increases in alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase were observed in 65% of patients treated with KIMMTRAK. In patients experiencing ALT/AST elevations, 73% initially occurred within the first 3 infusions with KIMMTRAK. Most patients experiencing Grade 3 or 4 ALT/AST elevations had improvement to ≤ Grade 1 within 7 days. For events that were observed outside the setting of CRS, the median time to onset was 129 days. Grade 3 or greater elevations in liver enzymes outside the setting of CRS occurred in approximately 8% of patients. Elevations in liver enzymes led to permanent discontinuation in 0.4% of patients receiving KIMMTRAK. Monitor alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total blood bilirubin prior to the start of and during treatment with KIMMTRAK. Withhold KIMMTRAK according to severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on the mechanism of action, KIMMTRAK may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KIMMTRAK and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3) ] .

Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action, KIMMTRAK may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data with KIMMTRAK in pregnant woman. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with KIMMTRAK. Molecules of similar molecular weight can cross the placenta resulting in fetal exposure. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.
