Warnings and precautions▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions : ( 5.1 ) Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue, including the following: immune-mediated pneumonitis, immune-mediated colitis, immune-mediated hepatitis, immune-mediated endocrinopathies, immune-mediated nephritis with renal dysfunction, immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, and solid organ transplant rejection. Monitor for early identification and management. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. Withhold or permanently discontinue TEVIMBRA based on the severity of reaction. Infusion-Related Reactions : Slow the rate of infusion, interrupt, or permanently discontinue based on severity of infusion reaction. ( 5.2 ) Complications of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) : Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic HSCT before or after being treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. ( 5.3 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions TEVIMBRA is a monoclonal antibody that belongs to a class of drugs that bind to either the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) or PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1), blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response, potentially breaking peripheral tolerance and inducing immune-mediated adverse reactions. Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions. Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, immune-mediated adverse reactions can also manifest after discontinuation of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Early identification and management of immune-mediated adverse reactions are essential to ensure safe use of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue TEVIMBRA depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . In general, if TEVIMBRA requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroids. Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below. Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis TEVIMBRA can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis, which can be fatal. In patients treated with other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, the incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation. Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 4.7% (113/2390) of patients receiving TEVIMBRA, including fatal (0.1%), Grade 4 (0.3%), Grade 3 (1.4%), and Grade 2 (1.9%) adverse reactions. Pneumonitis led to permanent discontinuation of TEVIMBRA in 44 (1.8%) patients and withholding of TEVIMBRA in 40 (1.7%) patients. Eighty-one (71.7%) of the 113 patients received systemic corticosteroids. Seventy-four (65.5%) of the 113 patients received high-dose systemic corticosteroids. Immune-mediated pneumonitis resolved in 48.7% of the 113 patients.

Immune-Mediated Colitis TEVIMBRA can cause immune-mediated colitis, which can be fatal. Cytomegalovirus infection/reactivation has been reported in patients with corticosteroid-refractory immune-mediated colitis treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. In cases of corticosteroid-refractory colitis, consider repeating infectious workup to exclude alternative etiologies. Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 0.8% (19/2390) of patients receiving TEVIMBRA, including Grade 3 (0.3%) and Grade 2 (0.4%) adverse reactions. Colitis led to permanent discontinuation of TEVIMBRA in 5 (0.2%) patients and withholding of TEVIMBRA in 10 (0.4%) patients. Seventeen (89.5%) of the 19 patients received systemic corticosteroids. Twelve (63.2%) of the 19 patients received high-dose systemic corticosteroids. Two (10.5%) of the 19 patients received immunosuppressive treatment. Immune-mediated colitis resolved in 89.5% of the 19 patients. Of the 10 patients in whom TEVIMBRA was withheld for colitis, 9 (90%) reinitiated TEVIMBRA after symptom improvement; of these, 2 (22%) patients had recurrence of colitis.

Immune-Mediated Endocrinopathies Adrenal Insufficiency TEVIMBRA can cause immune-mediated adrenal insufficiency. For Grade 2 or higher adrenal insufficiency, initiate symptomatic treatment, including hormone replacement as clinically indicated. Withhold TEVIMBRA depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Immune-mediated adrenal insufficiency occurred in 0.5% (12/2390) of patients receiving TEVIMBRA, including Grade 4 (0.04%), Grade 3 (0.2%), and Grade 2 (0.3%) adverse reactions. Adrenal insufficiency did not lead to permanent discontinuation of TEVIMBRA. TEVIMBRA was withheld in 10 (0.4%) patients. All 12 patients received systemic corticosteroids. Three (25%) of the 12 patients received high-dose systemic corticosteroids. Adrenal insufficiency resolved in 25% of the 12 patients.

Thyroid Disorders TEVIMBRA can cause immune-mediated thyroid disorders. Thyroiditis can present with or without endocrinopathy. Hypothyroidism can follow hyperthyroidism. Initiate hormone replacement for hypothyroidism or institute medical management of hyperthyroidism as clinically indicated. Withhold or permanently discontinue TEVIMBRA depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Thyroiditis: Immune-mediated thyroiditis occurred in 1% (25/2390) of patients receiving TEVIMBRA, including Grade 2 (0.5%) adverse reactions. Thyroiditis did not lead to permanent discontinuation of TEVIMBRA. TEVIMBRA was withheld in 5 (0.2%) patients. Two (8%) of the 25 patients received systemic corticosteroids. Thyroiditis resolved in 36% of the 25 patients. All 5 patients in whom TEVIMBRA was withheld for thyroiditis reinitiated TEVIMBRA after symptom improvement; of these, 1 (20%) patient had recurrence of thyroiditis. Hyperthyroidism: Immune-mediated hyperthyroidism occurred in 4.9% (118/2390) of patients receiving TEVIMBRA, including Grade 3 (0.04%) and Grade 2 (0.9%) adverse reactions. Hyperthyroidism led to the permanent discontinuation of TEVIMBRA in 1 (0.04%) patient and withholding of TEVIMBRA in 7 (0.3%) patients. Three (2.5%) of the 118 patients received systemic corticosteroids. Hyperthyroidism resolved in 76.3% of the 118 patients.

Of the 3 patients in whom TEVIMBRA was withheld for nephritis, 2 (66.7%) reinitiated TEVIMBRA after symptom improvement and no patients had recurrence of nephritis. Immune-Mediated Dermatologic Adverse Reactions TEVIMBRA can cause immune-mediated rash or dermatitis. Cases of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported, some with fatal outcome. Topical emollients and/or topical corticosteroids may be adequate to treat mild to moderate non-exfoliative rashes. Withhold or permanently discontinue TEVIMBRA depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions occurred in 13% (311/2390) of patients receiving TEVIMBRA, including Grade 4 (0.1%), Grade 3 (1.1%), and Grade 2 (3.4%) adverse reactions. Stevens-Johnson syndrome occurred in 1 (0.04%) patient. Dermatologic adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of TEVIMBRA in 3 (0.1%) patients and withholding of TEVIMBRA in 30 (1.3%) patients. Forty-four (14.1%) of the 311 patients received systemic corticosteroids. Nineteen (6.1%) of the 311 patients received high-dose systemic corticosteroids. Immune-mediated skin reactions resolved in 66.9% of the 311 patients. Of the 30 patients in whom TEVIMBRA was withheld for dermatologic adverse reactions, 26 (86.7%) reinitiated TEVIMBRA after symptom improvement; of these, 3 (12%) patients had recurrence of immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions. Other Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions The following clinically significant immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of less than 1% in 2390 patients who received TEVIMBRA or were reported with the use of other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Severe or fatal cases have been reported for some of these adverse reactions. Cardiac/Vascular: Myocarditis, pericarditis , vasculitis. Nervous System: Meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis and demyelination, myasthenic syndrome/myasthenia gravis (including exacerbation), Guillain-Barre syndrome, nerve paresis, autoimmune neuropathy. Ocular: Uveitis, iritis, and other ocular inflammatory toxicities. Some cases can be associated with retinal detachment. Various grades of visual impairment, including blindness, can occur. If uveitis occurs in combination with other immune-mediated adverse reactions, consider a Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada–like syndrome, as this may require treatment with systemic steroids to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss. Gastrointestinal: Pancreatitis including increases in serum amylase and lipase levels, gastritis, duodenitis, stomatitis. Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue: Myositis/polymyositis/dermatomyositis, rhabdomyolysis and associated sequelae including renal failure, arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica. Endocrine: Hypoparathyroidism. Other (Hematologic/Immune): Hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi lymphadenitis), sarcoidosis, immune thrombocytopenia, solid organ transplant rejection, other transplant (including corneal graft) rejection. 5.2 Infusion-Related Reactions TEVIMBRA can cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions. Infusion-related reactions occurred in 4.7% (113/2390) patients receiving TEVIMBRA, including Grade 3 or higher (0.2%) reactions. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Slow the rate of infusion for mild (Grade 1) and interrupt the infusion for moderate (Grade 2) infusion-related reactions. For severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) infusion-related reactions, stop infusion and permanently discontinue TEVIMBRA [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . 5.3 Complications of Allogeneic HSCT Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT. 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, TEVIMBRA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TEVIMBRA and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .

The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to TEVIMBRA as a single agent in 2390 patients enrolled in three randomized open-label, active-controlled studies (BGB-A317-301, RATIONALE-302, BGB-A317-303) and six open-label, single-arm studies (BGB-A317-209, BGB-A317-208, BGB-A317-204, BGB-A317-203, BGB-A317-102, BGB-A317_Study_001), which enrolled 307 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 2083 patients with advanced or recurrent tumors. TEVIMBRA was administered at a dose of 200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks, except in study BGB-A317_Study_001 where patients also received other dosage regimens. Among the 2390 patients, 38% were exposed for longer than 6 months, and 23% were exposed for longer than 12 months. First-line Treatment of Unresectable or Metastatic Esophageal Carcinoma (ESCC) The safety of TEVIMBRA in combination with chemotherapy was evaluated in RATIONALE-306, a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, double-blind trial in patients with unresectable, advanced, or metastatic ESCC [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either TEVIMBRA 200 mg by intravenous infusion over 30-60 minutes every 3 weeks or placebo plus a chemotherapy doublet regimen. The chemotherapy doublet regimens consisted of: Platinum (cisplatin [60 to 80 mg/m 2 IV, on Day 1] or oxaliplatin [130 mg/m 2 IV, on Day 1]) and a fluoropyrimidine (5-FU [750 to 800 mg/m 2 IV, on Day 1 to 5] or capecitabine [1000 mg/m 2 orally twice daily, on Day 1 to 14]) or Platinum (cisplatin [60 to 80 mg/m 2 IV, on Day 1 or 2] or oxaliplatin [130 mg/m 2 IV, on Day 1 or 2]) and (paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2 IV, on Day 1) Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 42% of patients receiving TEVIMBRA in combination with chemotherapy. The most frequent serious adverse drug reactions (≥2%) were pneumonia (3.6%), decreased platelet count (3.2%), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (3%), and colitis (2.2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.2% of patients who received TEVIMBRA in combination with chemotherapy; events occurring in 2 or more patients were death, sepsis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, and respiratory failure. Permanent discontinuation of TEVIMBRA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 16% of patients. Adverse drug reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation in ≥1% of patients were death, fatigue, and pneumonitis. Dosage interruption of TEVIMBRA due to an adverse drug reaction occurred in 49% of patients. Adverse drug reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients were decreased platelet count (12%), decreased neutrophil count (10%), neutropenia (6%), decreased white blood cell count (6%), increased AST (4.8%), increased ALT (3.8%), increased blood bilirubin (3%), COVID-19 (3%), thrombocytopenia (2.8%), leukopenia (2.6%), pneumonitis (2.2%), and pneumonia (2%). The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, for TEVIMBRA in combination with chemotherapy were nausea, fatigue, decreased appetite, anemia, peripheral sensory neuropathy, vomiting, decreased platelet count, decreased neutrophil count, increased aspartate aminotransferase, diarrhea, abdominal pain, increased alanine aminotransferase, white blood cell count decreased, decreased weight, and pyrexia. Adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities are listed in Table 7 and Table 8, respectively.

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. Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (including fatal cases). Immune system disorders: Immune-mediated cystitis.
