(6.1). 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.. Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)The adverse reactions described in Table were identified in 804 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer treated in CLEOPATRA. Patients were randomized to receive either PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel or placebo in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. The median duration of study treatment was 18.1 months for patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 11.8 months for patients in the placebo-treated group. No dose adjustment was permitted for PERJETA or trastuzumab. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of all study therapy were 6% in the PERJETA-treated group and 5% for patients in the placebo-treated group. The most common adverse reactions (>1%) that led to discontinuation of all study therapy was left ventricular dysfunction (1% for patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 2% for patients in the placebo-treated group). The most common adverse reactions that led to discontinuation of docetaxel alone were edema, fatigue, edema peripheral, neuropathy peripheral, neutropenia, nail disorder and pleural effusion. Table reports the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group. The safety profile of PERJETA remained unchanged with an additional 2.75 years of follow-up (median total follow-up of 50 months) in CLEOPATRA.The most common adverse reactions (> 30%) seen with PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel were diarrhea, alopecia, neutropenia, nausea, fatigue, rash, and peripheral neuropathy. The most common NCI CTCAE v3.0 Grade - adverse reactions (> 2%) were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, leukopenia, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, anemia, asthenia, and fatigue. An increased incidence of febrile neutropenia was observed for Asian patients in both treatment arms compared with patients of other races and from other geographic regions. Among Asian patients, the incidence of febrile neutropenia was higher in the pertuzumab-treated group (26%) compared with the placebo-treated group (12%).Table Summary of Adverse Reactions Occurring in >= 10% of Patients on the PERJETA Treatment Arm in CLEOPATRABody System/ Adverse ReactionsPERJETA trastuzumab docetaxeln=407Frequency rate %Placebo trastuzumab docetaxeln=397Frequency rate %All Grades %Grades - %All Grades%Grades - 4%General disorders and administration site conditionsFatigue372373Mucosal inflammation281201Asthenia262302Edema peripheral230.5300.8Pyrexia191180.5Skin and subcutaneous tissue disordersAlopecia610600.3Rash340.7240.8Nail disorder231230.3Pruritus140100Dry skin11040Gastrointestinal disordersDiarrhea678465Nausea421420.5Vomiting241242Stomatitis190.5150.3Constipation150251Blood and lymphatic system disordersNeutropenia53495046Anemia232194Leukopenia18122015Febrile neutropeniaIn this table this denotes an adverse reaction that has been reported in association with fatal outcome 141387Nervous system disordersNeuropathy peripheral323342Headache211170.5Dysgeusia180160Dizziness130.5120Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disordersMyalgia231240.8Arthralgia150.2160.8Infections and infestationsUpper respiratory tract infection170.7130Nasopharyngitis120130.3Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disordersDyspnea141162Metabolism and nutrition disordersDecreased appetite292262Eye disordersLacrimation increased140140Psychiatric disordersInsomnia130130The following clinically relevant adverse reactions were reported in 10% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group in CLEOPATRA:Infections and infestations: Paronychia (7% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 4% in the placebo-treated group). Adverse Reactions Reported in Patients Receiving PERJETA and Trastuzumab After Discontinuation of DocetaxelIn CLEOPATRA, adverse reactions were reported less frequently after discontinuation of docetaxel treatment. All adverse reactions in the PERJETA and trastuzumab treatment group occurred in 10% of patients with the exception of diarrhea (19%), upper respiratory tract infection (13%), rash (12%), headache (11%), and fatigue (11%).. Neoadjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer (NeoSphere)In NeoSphere, the most common adverse reactions seen with PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel administered for cycles were similar to those seen in the PERJETA-treated group in CLEOPATRA.

Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer (APHINITY)The adverse reactions described in Table were identified in 4769 patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer treated in APHINITY. Patients were randomized to receive either PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy or placebo in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of any study therapy were 13% for patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 12% for patients in the placebo-treated group. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of PERJETA or placebo was 7% and 6%, respectively. The most common adverse reactions (>0.5%) resulting in permanent discontinuation of any study treatment were ejection fraction decreased, neuropathy peripheral, diarrhea, and cardiac failure. Table reports the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group. When PERJETA was administered in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy, the most common adverse reactions (> 30%) were diarrhea, nausea, alopecia, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and vomiting. The most common Grade - adverse reactions (> 2%) were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, neutrophil count decreased, anemia, white blood cell count decreased, leukopenia, fatigue, nausea, and stomatitis.The incidence of diarrhea, all Grades, was higher when chemotherapy was administered with targeted therapy (61% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 34% in the placebo-treated group), and was higher when administered with non-anthracycline based therapy (85% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 62% in the placebo-treated group) than with anthracycline based therapy (67% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 41% in the placebo-treated group). The incidence of diarrhea during the period that targeted therapy was administered without chemotherapy was 18% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 9% in the placebo-treated group. The median duration of all Grades diarrhea was days for the PERJETA-treated group vs. days for the placebo-treated group. The median duration of Grade >=3 diarrhea was 20 days for the PERJETA-treated group vs. days for the placebo-treated group. More patients required hospitalization for diarrhea as serious adverse event in the PERJETA-treated group (2.4%) than in the placebo-treated group (0.7%).

Adverse Reactions Reported in Patients Receiving PERJETA and Trastuzumab After Discontinuation of ChemotherapyIn the APHINITY study, during the targeted treatment alone phase, all adverse reactions in the PERJETA treatment group occurred in 10% of patients with the exception of diarrhea (18%), arthralgia (15%), radiation skin injury (12%), and hot flush (12%).. 6.2Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is the potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to pertuzumab in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.Patients in CLEOPATRA were tested at multiple time-points for antibodies to PERJETA. 3% (13/389) of patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 7% (25/372) of patients in the placebo-treated group tested positive for anti-PERJETA antibodies. Of these 38 patients, none experienced anaphylactic/hypersensitivity reactions that were clearly related to the anti-drug antibodies (ADA). The presence of pertuzumab in patient serum at the levels expected at the time of ADA sampling can interfere with the ability of this assay to detect anti-pertuzumab antibodies. In addition, the assay may be detecting antibodies to trastuzumab. As result, data may not accurately reflect the true incidence of anti-pertuzumab antibody development.In the neoadjuvant period of BERENICE, 0.3% (1/383) of patients treated with PERJETA tested positive for anti-PERJETA antibodies. This patient did not experience any anaphylactic/hypersensitivity reactions.. 6.3Post-Marketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of PERJETA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure.Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS): Cases of possible TLS have been reported in patients treated with PERJETA. Patients with significant tumor burden (e.g., bulky metastases) may be at higher risk. Patients could present with hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acute renal failure which may represent possible TLS. Providers should consider additional monitoring and/or treatment as clinically indicated.. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS): Cases of possible TLS have been reported in patients treated with PERJETA.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Pertuzumab targets the extracellular dimerization domain (Subdomain II) of the human epidermal growth factor receptor protein (HER2) and, thereby, blocks ligand-dependent heterodimerization of HER2 with other HER family members, including EGFR, HER3, and HER4. As result, pertuzumab inhibits ligand-initiated intracellular signaling through two major signal pathways, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Inhibition of these signaling pathways can result in cell growth arrest and apoptosis, respectively. In addition, pertuzumab mediates antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).While pertuzumab alone inhibited the proliferation of human tumor cells, the combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab augmented anti-tumor activity in HER2-overexpressing xenograft models.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Pertuzumab demonstrated linear pharmacokinetics at dose range of - 25 mg/kg. Based on population PK analysis that included 481 patients, the median clearance (CL) of pertuzumab was 0.24 L/day and the median half-life was 18 days. With an initial dose of 840 mg followed by maintenance dose of 420 mg every three weeks thereafter, the steady-state concentration of pertuzumab was reached after the first maintenance dose.The population PK analysis suggested no PK differences based on age, gender, ethnicity (Japanese vs. non-Japanese), or disease status (neoadjuvant or adjuvant vs. metastatic setting). Baseline serum albumin level and lean body weight as covariates only exerted minor influence on PK parameters. Therefore, no dose adjustments based on body weight or baseline albumin level are needed.No dedicated renal impairment trial for PERJETA has been conducted. Based on the results of the population pharmacokinetic analysis, pertuzumab exposure in patients with mild (CLcr 60 to 90 mL/min, n=200) and moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to 60 mL/min, n=71) were similar to those in patients with normal renal function (CLcr greater than 90 mL/min, n=200). No relationship between CLcr and pertuzumab exposure was observed over the range of observed CLcr (27 to 244 mL/min).. 12.6Cardiac Electrophysiology. The effect of pertuzumab with an initial dose of 840 mg followed by maintenance dose of 420 mg every three weeks on QTc interval was evaluated in subgroup of 20 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer in CLEOPATRA. No large changes in the mean QT interval (i.e., greater than 20 ms) from placebo based on Fridericia correction method were detected in the trial. small increase in the mean QTc interval (i.e., less than 10 ms) cannot be excluded because of the limitations of the trial design.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1Metastatic Breast Cancer. CLEOPATRA (NCT00567190) was multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 808 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. HER2 overexpression was defined as score of 3+ IHC or FISH amplification ratio of 2.0 or greater as determined by central laboratory. Patients were randomly allocated 1:1 to receive placebo plus trastuzumab and docetaxel or PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel. Randomization was stratified by prior treatment (prior or no prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy) and geographic region (Europe, North America, South America, and Asia). Patients with prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy were required to have disease-free interval of greater than 12 months before trial enrollment.PERJETA was given intravenously at an initial dose of 840 mg, followed by 420 mg every weeks thereafter. Trastuzumab was given intravenously at an initial dose of mg/kg, followed by mg/kg every weeks thereafter. Patients were treated with PERJETA and trastuzumab until progression of disease, withdrawal of consent, or unacceptable toxicity. Docetaxel was given as an initial dose of 75 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion every weeks for at least cycles. The docetaxel dose could be escalated to 100 mg/m2 at the investigators discretion if the initial dose was well tolerated. At the time of the primary analysis, the mean number of cycles of study treatment administered was 16.2 in the placebo-treated group and 19.9 in the PERJETA-treated group.The primary endpoint of CLEOPATRA was progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by an independent review facility (IRF). PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death (from any cause) if the death occurred within 18 weeks of the last tumor assessment. Additional endpoints included overall survival (OS), PFS (investigator-assessed), objective response rate (ORR), and duration of response.Patient demographic and baseline characteristics were balanced between the treatment arms. The median age was 54 (range 22 to 89 years), 59% were White, 32% were Asian, and 4% were Black. All were women with the exception of patients. Seventeen percent of patients were enrolled in North America, 14% in South America, 38% in Europe, and 31% in Asia. Tumor prognostic characteristics, including hormone receptor status (positive 48%, negative 50%), presence of visceral disease (78%) and non-visceral disease only (22%) were similar in the study arms. Approximately half of the patients received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy (placebo 47%, PERJETA 46%). Among patients with hormone receptor positive tumors, 45% received prior adjuvant hormonal therapy and 11% received hormonal therapy for metastatic disease. Eleven percent of patients received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant trastuzumab.CLEOPATRA demonstrated statistically significant improvement in IRF-assessed PFS in the PERJETA-treated group compared with the placebo-treated group [hazard ratio (HR)=0.62 (95% CI: 0.51, 0.75), < 0.0001] and an increase in median PFS of 6.1 months (median PFS of 18.5 months in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 12.4 months in the placebo-treated group) (see Figure 1). The results for investigator-assessed PFS were comparable to those observed for IRF-assessed PFS.Consistent results were observed across several patient subgroups including age (< 65 or >= 65 years), race, geographic region, prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy (yes or no), and prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant trastuzumab (yes or no). In the subgroup of patients with hormone receptor-negative disease (n=408), the hazard ratio was 0.55 (95% CI: 0.42, 0.72). In the subgroup of patients with hormone receptor-positive disease (n=388), the hazard ratio was 0.72 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.95). In the subgroup of patients with disease limited to non-visceral metastasis (n=178), the hazard ratio was 0.96 (95% CI: 0.61, 1.52).At the time of the final PFS analysis, 165 patients had died, and more deaths had occurred in the placebo-treated group (23.6%) compared with the PERJETA-treated group (17.2%); OS was not mature and interim OS analysis results did not meet the pre-specified stopping boundary for statistical significance. The final analysis of OS (Table 8, Figure 2) was performed when 389 patients had died (221 in the placebo-treated group and 168 in the PERJETA-treated group). statistically significant OS improvement in favor of the PERJETA-treated group was demonstrated [HR=0.68 (95% CI; 0.56, 0.84), p=0.0002] with an increase in median OS of 15.7 months (median OS of 56.5 months in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 40.8 months in the placebo-treated group). OS results in patient subgroups were consistent with those observed for IRF-assessed PFS with the exception of the subgroup of patients with disease limited to non-visceral metastasis [HR=1.11 (95% CI: 0.66, 1.85)].Table Summary of Efficacy from CLEOPATRAParameterPERJETA trastuzumab docetaxeln=402Placebo trastuzumab docetaxeln=406HR(95% CI)p-valueCI=Confidence IntervalProgression-Free Survival(independent review)No. of patients with an event Median months191 (47.5%)18.5242 (59.6%)12.40.62(0.51, 0.75)< 0.0001Overall SurvivalFinal analysis of overall survival, cutoff date Feb 2014 (final analysis)No. of patients who diedMedian months168 (41.8%)56.5221 (54.4%)40.8 0.68(0.56, 0.84)0.0002Objective Response Rate (ORR, independent review)No. of patients analyzed343336Objective response (CR PR)275 (80.2%)233 (69.3%)Complete response (CR)19 (5.5%)14 (4.2%)Partial Response (PR)256 (74.6%)219 (65.2%)Median Duration of Response (months)20.212.5Difference in ORR10.8%95% CI(4.2%, 17.5%)0.0011Figure 1Kaplan-Meier Curve of IRF-Assessed Progression-Free Survival for CLEOPATRAFigure 2Kaplan-Meier Curve of Overall Survival for CLEOPATRA (Final Analysis). Figure 1. Figure 2. 14.2 Neoadjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer. NeoSphereNeoSphere (NCT00545688) was multicenter, randomized trial conducted in 417 patients with operable, locally advanced, or inflammatory HER2-positive breast cancer (T2-4d) who were scheduled for neoadjuvant therapy. HER2 overexpression was defined as score of 3+ IHC or FISH amplification ratio of 2.0 or greater as determined by central laboratory. Patients were randomly allocated to receive of neoadjuvant regimens prior to surgery as follows: trastuzumab plus docetaxel, PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel, PERJETA plus trastuzumab, or PERJETA plus docetaxel. Randomization was stratified by breast cancer type (operable, locally advanced, or inflammatory) and estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PgR) positivity.PERJETA was given intravenously at an initial dose of 840 mg, followed by 420 mg every weeks for cycles. Trastuzumab was given intravenously at an initial dose of mg/kg, followed by mg/kg every weeks for cycles. Docetaxel was given as an initial dose of 75 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion every weeks for cycles. The docetaxel dose could be escalated to 100 mg/m2 at the investigators discretion if the initial dose was well tolerated. Following surgery all patients received cycles of 5-fluorouracil (600 mg/m2), epirubicin (90 mg/m2), and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) (FEC) given intravenously every weeks and trastuzumab administered intravenously every weeks to complete year of therapy. After surgery, patients in the PERJETA plus trastuzumab arm received docetaxel every weeks for cycles prior to FEC. The primary endpoint of the study was pathological complete response (pCR) rate in the breast (ypT0/is). The FDA-preferred definition of pCR is the absence of invasive cancer in the breast and lymph nodes (ypT0/is ypN0).Demographics were well balanced (median age was 49 50 years old, the majority were Caucasian (71%) and all were female. Overall, 7% of patients had inflammatory cancer, 32% had locally advanced cancer, and 61% had operable cancer. Approximately half the patients in each treatment group had hormone receptor-positive disease (defined as ER-positive and/or PgR-positive).The efficacy results are summarized in Table 9. Statistically significant improvements in pCR rates by both the study and FDA-preferred definitions were observed in patients receiving PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel compared to patients receiving trastuzumab plus docetaxel. The pCR rates and magnitude of improvement with PERJETA were lower in the subgroup of patients with hormone receptor-positive tumors compared to patients with hormone receptor-negative tumors.Table Summary of Efficacy from NeoSphereEndpoint/Study PopulationH+TPtz+H+TPtz+HPtz+TOverall ITTN=107N=107N=107N=96T=docetaxel, Ptz=PERJETA, H=trastuzumabCI=Confidence IntervalpCRypT0/is ypN0 (absence of invasive cancer in the breast and lymph nodes), n(%)[95% CI]95% CI for one sample binomial using Pearson-Clopper method. 23(21.5%)[14.1, 30.5]42(39.3%)[30.0, 49.2]12(11.2%)[5.9, 18.8]17(17.7%)[10.7, 26.8]p-value (with Simes correction for CMH test)p-value from Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test, with Simes multiplicity adjustment 0.0063(vs. H+T)0.0223(vs. H+T)0.0018(vs. Ptz+H+T)Hormone receptor-positive subgroupN=50N=50N=51One patient had unknown hormone receptor status.

TRYPHAENAAn additional neoadjuvant study (TRYPHAENA, NCT00976989) was conducted in 225 patients with HER2-positive locally advanced, operable, or inflammatory (T2-4d) breast cancer designed primarily to assess cardiac safety in which all arms included PERJETA. HER2 overexpression was defined as score of 3+ IHC or FISH amplification ratio of 2.0 or greater as determined by central laboratory. Patients were randomly allocated to receive of neoadjuvant regimens prior to surgery as follows: cycles of FEC followed by cycles of docetaxel all in combination with PERJETA and trastuzumab, cycles of FEC alone followed by cycles of docetaxel and trastuzumab in combination with PERJETA, or cycles of docetaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab (TCH) in combination with PERJETA. Randomization was stratified by breast cancer type (operable, locally advanced, or inflammatory) and ER and/or PgR positivity.PERJETA was given by intravenous infusion at an initial dose of 840 mg, followed by 420 mg every weeks. Trastuzumab was given by intravenous infusion at an initial dose of mg/kg, followed by mg/kg every weeks. 5-Fluorouracil (500 mg/m2), epirubicin (100 mg/m2), and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) were given intravenously every weeks for cycles. In the PERJETA plus trastuzumab, docetaxel, and FEC arms, docetaxel was given as an initial dose of 75 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion every weeks for cycles with the option to escalate to 100 mg/m2 at the investigators discretion if the initial dose was well tolerated. However, in the PERJETA plus TCH arm, docetaxel was given intravenously at 75 mg/m2 (no escalation was permitted) and carboplatin (AUC 6) was given intravenously every weeks for cycles. Following surgery all patients received trastuzumab to complete year of therapy, which was administered intravenously every weeks.Demographics were well balanced (median age was 49-50 years old, the majority were Caucasian [76%]) and all were female. Overall 6% of patients had inflammatory cancer, 25% had locally advanced cancer and 69% had operable cancer, with approximately half the patients in each treatment group having ER-positive and/or PgR-positive disease. The pCR (ypT0/is ypN0) rates were 56.2% (95% CI: 44.1%, 67.8%), 54.7% (95% CI: 42.7%, 66.2%), and 63.6% (95% CI: 51.9%, 74.3%) for patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and FEC followed by PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel, PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel following FEC, or PERJETA plus TCH, respectively. The pCR rates were lower in the subgroups of patients with hormone receptor-positive tumors: 41.0% (95% CI: 25.6%, 57.9%), 45.7% (95% CI: 28.8%, 63.4%), and 47.5% (95% CI: 31.5%, 63.9%) than with hormone receptor-negative tumors: 73.5% (95% CI: 55.6%, 87.1%), 62.5% (95% CI: 45.8%, 77.3%), and 81.1% (95% CI: 64.8%, 92.0%), respectively. BERENICEA two-arm non-randomized study (BERENICE, NCT02132949) was conducted in 401 patients with HER2-positive locally advanced, inflammatory, or early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2 overexpression was defined as score of 3+ IHC or ISH amplification ratio of 2.0 or greater as determined by central laboratory. Patients received of neoadjuvant regimens prior to surgery as follows: cycles of dose dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC) followed by cycles of PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and weekly paclitaxel for 12 weeks or cycles of 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC) followed by cycles of PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. The choice of neoadjuvant treatment regimen was made by the Investigator on site-specific basis. Dosing for the regimens was as follows:PERJETA was given by intravenous infusion at an initial dose of 840 mg, followed by 420 mg every weeks. Trastuzumab was given by intravenous infusion at an initial dose of mg/kg, followed by mg/kg every weeks.In the ddAC cohort, (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) were given intravenously every weeks (ddAC) for cycles with G-CSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor) support at investigator discretion, followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 given intravenously weekly for 12 weeks, with PERJETA and trastuzumab every weeks from the start of paclitaxel for cycles.In the FEC cohort, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) (500 mg/m2), epirubicin (100 mg/m2), and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) were given intravenously every weeks for cycles, followed by docetaxel given as an initial dose of 75 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion every weeks for cycles with PERJETA and trastuzumab, and with the option to escalate to 100 mg/m2 at the investigators discretion if the initial dose was well tolerated.Following surgery, all patients received PERJETA and trastuzumab administered intravenously every weeks to complete year of therapy.The median age of the overall study population was 49 years old (range 21-78), 12% of patients were 65 or older, 83% were Caucasian, and all but one patient was female. Overall 3% of patients had inflammatory cancer, 23% had locally advanced cancer (Stage 3A or greater), 5% were not classified per TNM staging, with approximately two thirds of the patients in each treatment group having ER-positive and/or PgR-positive disease. All patients had an ECOG performance status of or 1.The pCR (ypT0/is ypN0) rates were 61.8% (95% CI: 54.7, 68.6) and 60.7% (95% CI: 53.6, 67.5) for patients treated with ddAC followed by PERJETA plus trastuzumab and paclitaxel, or FEC followed by PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel, respectively. The pCR rates were lower in the subgroups of patients with hormone receptor-positive tumors: 51.6% (95% CI: 42.6, 60.5%) and 57.3% (95% CI: 48.1, 66.1%) than with hormone receptor-negative tumors: 81.5% (95% CI: 70.0, 90.1%) and 68.0% (95% CI: 56.2, 78.3%), respectively.. PERJETA was given by intravenous infusion at an initial dose of 840 mg, followed by 420 mg every weeks. Trastuzumab was given by intravenous infusion at an initial dose of mg/kg, followed by mg/kg every weeks.. In the ddAC cohort, (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) were given intravenously every weeks (ddAC) for cycles with G-CSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor) support at investigator discretion, followed by paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 given intravenously weekly for 12 weeks, with PERJETA and trastuzumab every weeks from the start of paclitaxel for cycles.. In the FEC cohort, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) (500 mg/m2), epirubicin (100 mg/m2), and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) were given intravenously every weeks for cycles, followed by docetaxel given as an initial dose of 75 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion every weeks for cycles with PERJETA and trastuzumab, and with the option to escalate to 100 mg/m2 at the investigators discretion if the initial dose was well tolerated.. 14.3Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer. APHINITY (NCT01358877) was multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in 4804 patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer who had their primary tumor excised prior to randomization. Patients were then randomized to receive PERJETA or placebo, in combination with adjuvant trastuzumab and chemotherapy. Randomization was stratified by the following factors: region, nodal status, protocol version, central hormone receptor status, and adjuvant chemotherapy regimen.Investigators selected one of the following anthracycline-based or non-anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimens for individual patients:3 or cycles of FEC (5-FU 500-600 mg/m2, epirubicin 90-120 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m2) or FAC (5-FU 500-600 mg/m2, doxorubicin 50 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m2), followed by or cycles of docetaxel (75 mg/m2 which could be escalated to 100 mg/m2 every weeks) or 12 cycles of weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2).4 cycles of AC (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m2) or EC (epirubicin 90-120 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 500-600 mg/m2) either every weeks or every weeks with GCSF support, followed by docetaxel (100 mg/m2 for cycles or 75 mg/m2 for first cycle and 100 mg/m2 for subsequent three cycles, or 75 mg/m2 for four cycles) or 12 cycles of weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2).6 cycles of docetaxel (75 mg/m2) in combination with carboplatin (AUC 6)PERJETA and trastuzumab were administered intravenously every weeks starting on Day of the first taxane-containing cycle, for total of 52 weeks (up to 18 cycles) or until recurrence, withdrawal of consent, or unmanageable toxicity. After completion of chemotherapy, patients received radiotherapy and/or hormone therapy as per investigators discretion. The major efficacy outcome of the study was invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), defined as the time from randomization to first occurrence of ipsilateral local or regional invasive breast cancer recurrence, distant recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, or death from any cause. Additional efficacy endpoints were IDFS including second primary non-breast cancer, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS).Demographics were generally balanced between the two treatment arms. The median age was 51 years (range 18-86), 13% of patients were 65 or older, and over 99% of patients were female. Sixty-three percent of patients had node-positive disease, 64% had hormone receptor-positive disease, and 71% were Caucasian. All patients had an ECOG performance status of or 1. Seventy-eight percent received an anthracycline containing regimen.PERJETA-treated patients and placebo-treated patients both received median number of 18 cycles of anti-HER2 therapy. After median follow-up of 45.4 months, statistically significant improvement in IDFS was demonstrated in patients randomized to receive PERJETA compared with patients randomized to receive placebo.

CLINICAL TRIALS EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.. Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)The adverse reactions described in Table were identified in 804 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer treated in CLEOPATRA. Patients were randomized to receive either PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel or placebo in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. The median duration of study treatment was 18.1 months for patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 11.8 months for patients in the placebo-treated group. No dose adjustment was permitted for PERJETA or trastuzumab. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of all study therapy were 6% in the PERJETA-treated group and 5% for patients in the placebo-treated group. The most common adverse reactions (>1%) that led to discontinuation of all study therapy was left ventricular dysfunction (1% for patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 2% for patients in the placebo-treated group). The most common adverse reactions that led to discontinuation of docetaxel alone were edema, fatigue, edema peripheral, neuropathy peripheral, neutropenia, nail disorder and pleural effusion. Table reports the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group. The safety profile of PERJETA remained unchanged with an additional 2.75 years of follow-up (median total follow-up of 50 months) in CLEOPATRA.The most common adverse reactions (> 30%) seen with PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel were diarrhea, alopecia, neutropenia, nausea, fatigue, rash, and peripheral neuropathy. The most common NCI CTCAE v3.0 Grade - adverse reactions (> 2%) were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, leukopenia, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, anemia, asthenia, and fatigue. An increased incidence of febrile neutropenia was observed for Asian patients in both treatment arms compared with patients of other races and from other geographic regions. Among Asian patients, the incidence of febrile neutropenia was higher in the pertuzumab-treated group (26%) compared with the placebo-treated group (12%).Table Summary of Adverse Reactions Occurring in >= 10% of Patients on the PERJETA Treatment Arm in CLEOPATRABody System/ Adverse ReactionsPERJETA trastuzumab docetaxeln=407Frequency rate %Placebo trastuzumab docetaxeln=397Frequency rate %All Grades %Grades - %All Grades%Grades - 4%General disorders and administration site conditionsFatigue372373Mucosal inflammation281201Asthenia262302Edema peripheral230.5300.8Pyrexia191180.5Skin and subcutaneous tissue disordersAlopecia610600.3Rash340.7240.8Nail disorder231230.3Pruritus140100Dry skin11040Gastrointestinal disordersDiarrhea678465Nausea421420.5Vomiting241242Stomatitis190.5150.3Constipation150251Blood and lymphatic system disordersNeutropenia53495046Anemia232194Leukopenia18122015Febrile neutropeniaIn this table this denotes an adverse reaction that has been reported in association with fatal outcome 141387Nervous system disordersNeuropathy peripheral323342Headache211170.5Dysgeusia180160Dizziness130.5120Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disordersMyalgia231240.8Arthralgia150.2160.8Infections and infestationsUpper respiratory tract infection170.7130Nasopharyngitis120130.3Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disordersDyspnea141162Metabolism and nutrition disordersDecreased appetite292262Eye disordersLacrimation increased140140Psychiatric disordersInsomnia130130The following clinically relevant adverse reactions were reported in 10% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group in CLEOPATRA:Infections and infestations: Paronychia (7% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 4% in the placebo-treated group). Adverse Reactions Reported in Patients Receiving PERJETA and Trastuzumab After Discontinuation of DocetaxelIn CLEOPATRA, adverse reactions were reported less frequently after discontinuation of docetaxel treatment. All adverse reactions in the PERJETA and trastuzumab treatment group occurred in 10% of patients with the exception of diarrhea (19%), upper respiratory tract infection (13%), rash (12%), headache (11%), and fatigue (11%).. Neoadjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer (NeoSphere)In NeoSphere, the most common adverse reactions seen with PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel administered for cycles were similar to those seen in the PERJETA-treated group in CLEOPATRA. The most common adverse reactions (> 30%) were alopecia, neutropenia, diarrhea, and nausea. The most common NCI CTCAE v3.0 Grade - adverse reactions (> 2%) were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, leukopenia, and diarrhea. In this group, one patient permanently discontinued neoadjuvant treatment due to an adverse event.

Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer (APHINITY)The adverse reactions described in Table were identified in 4769 patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer treated in APHINITY. Patients were randomized to receive either PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy or placebo in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of any study therapy were 13% for patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 12% for patients in the placebo-treated group. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of PERJETA or placebo was 7% and 6%, respectively. The most common adverse reactions (>0.5%) resulting in permanent discontinuation of any study treatment were ejection fraction decreased, neuropathy peripheral, diarrhea, and cardiac failure. Table reports the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group. When PERJETA was administered in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy, the most common adverse reactions (> 30%) were diarrhea, nausea, alopecia, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and vomiting. The most common Grade - adverse reactions (> 2%) were neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, neutrophil count decreased, anemia, white blood cell count decreased, leukopenia, fatigue, nausea, and stomatitis.The incidence of diarrhea, all Grades, was higher when chemotherapy was administered with targeted therapy (61% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 34% in the placebo-treated group), and was higher when administered with non-anthracycline based therapy (85% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 62% in the placebo-treated group) than with anthracycline based therapy (67% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 41% in the placebo-treated group). The incidence of diarrhea during the period that targeted therapy was administered without chemotherapy was 18% in the PERJETA-treated group vs. 9% in the placebo-treated group. The median duration of all Grades diarrhea was days for the PERJETA-treated group vs. days for the placebo-treated group. The median duration of Grade >=3 diarrhea was 20 days for the PERJETA-treated group vs. days for the placebo-treated group. More patients required hospitalization for diarrhea as serious adverse event in the PERJETA-treated group (2.4%) than in the placebo-treated group (0.7%).

Select patients based on HER2 protein overexpression or HER2 gene amplification in tumor specimens [see Indications and Usage (1) and Clinical Studies (14)]. Assessment of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification should be performed using FDA-approved tests specific for breast cancer by laboratories with demonstrated proficiency. Information on the FDA-approved tests for the detection of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.Improper assay performance, including use of suboptimally fixed tissue, failure to utilize specified reagents, deviation from specific assay instructions, and failure to include appropriate controls for assay validation, can lead to unreliable results.. 2.2Recommended Doses and Schedules. The initial dose of PERJETA is 840 mg administered as 60-minute intravenous infusion, followed every weeks by dose of 420 mg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 60 minutes.When administered with PERJETA, the recommended initial dose of trastuzumab is mg/kg administered as 90-minute intravenous infusion, followed every weeks by dose of mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 to 90 minutes.When administered with PERJETA, the recommended initial dose of trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk is 600 mg/10,000 units (600 mg trastuzumab and 10,000 units hyaluronidase) administered subcutaneously over approximately to minutes once every three weeks irrespective of the patients body weight.PERJETA, trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk, and taxane should be administered sequentially. PERJETA and trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk can be given in any order. Taxane should be administered after PERJETA and trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk. An observation period of 30 to 60 minutes is recommended after each PERJETA infusion and before commencement of any subsequent administration of trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk, or taxane [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. In patients receiving an anthracycline-based regimen, PERJETA and trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk should be administered following completion of the anthracycline.. Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)When administered with PERJETA, the recommended initial dose of docetaxel is 75 mg/m2 administered as an intravenous infusion. The dose may be escalated to 100 mg/m2 administered every weeks if the initial dose is well tolerated. Neoadjuvant Treatment of Breast CancerPERJETA should be administered every weeks for to cycles as part of one of the following treatment regimens for early breast cancer [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]:Four preoperative cycles of PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk and docetaxel followed by postoperative cycles of fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC) as given in NeoSphereThree or four preoperative cycles of FEC alone followed by or preoperative cycles of PERJETA in combination with docetaxel and trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk as given in TRYPHAENA and BERENICE, respectivelySix preoperative cycles of PERJETA in combination with docetaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab (TCH) or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk (escalation of docetaxel above 75 mg/m2 is not recommended) as given in TRYPHAENAFour preoperative cycles of dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC) alone followed by preoperative cycles of PERJETA in combination with paclitaxel and trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk as given in BERENICEFollowing surgery, patients should continue to receive PERJETA and trastuzumab or trastuzumab hyaluronidase-oysk to complete year of treatment (up to 18 cycles)..

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.5 Geriatric Use. In studies in the indicated populations, CLEOPATRA, NeoSphere, TRYPHAENA, BERENICE, and APHINITY, 464 patients who received PERJETA were >= 65 years of age and 47 were >= 75 years of age. The most common (>= 10%) Grade 3-4 adverse reactions in both age groups were neutropenia (22% >= 65 years, 23% >= 75 years), febrile neutropenia (12% >= 65 years, 13% >= 75 years), diarrhea (15% >= 65 years, 17% >= 75 years) and anemia (15% >= 75 years).The incidence of the following all grade adverse events was at least 5% higher in patients aged >= 65 years of age, compared to patients aged 65 years of age: decreased appetite (13% higher), anemia (7% higher), weight decreased (7% higher), asthenia (7% higher), dysgeusia (7% higher), neuropathy peripheral and hypomagnesemia (both 5% higher).No overall differences in efficacy of PERJETA were observed in patients aged >= 65 and <65 years of age. There are too few patients aged >= 75 years to draw conclusions on efficacy in this age group.Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis, no significant difference was observed in the pharmacokinetics of pertuzumab between patients 65 years (n=306) and patients >= 65 years (n=175).

POSTMARKETING EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.3Post-Marketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of PERJETA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure.Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS): Cases of possible TLS have been reported in patients treated with PERJETA. Patients with significant tumor burden (e.g., bulky metastases) may be at higher risk. Patients could present with hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acute renal failure which may represent possible TLS. Providers should consider additional monitoring and/or treatment as clinically indicated.. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS): Cases of possible TLS have been reported in patients treated with PERJETA. Patients with significant tumor burden (e.g., bulky metastases) may be at higher risk. Patients could present with hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acute renal failure which may represent possible TLS. Providers should consider additional monitoring and/or treatment as clinically indicated.

IMMUNOGENICITY.


6.2Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is the potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to pertuzumab in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.Patients in CLEOPATRA were tested at multiple time-points for antibodies to PERJETA. 3% (13/389) of patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 7% (25/372) of patients in the placebo-treated group tested positive for anti-PERJETA antibodies. Of these 38 patients, none experienced anaphylactic/hypersensitivity reactions that were clearly related to the anti-drug antibodies (ADA). The presence of pertuzumab in patient serum at the levels expected at the time of ADA sampling can interfere with the ability of this assay to detect anti-pertuzumab antibodies. In addition, the assay may be detecting antibodies to trastuzumab. As result, data may not accurately reflect the true incidence of anti-pertuzumab antibody development.In the neoadjuvant period of BERENICE, 0.3% (1/383) of patients treated with PERJETA tested positive for anti-PERJETA antibodies. This patient did not experience any anaphylactic/hypersensitivity reactions.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere is no information regarding the presence of pertuzumab in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Published data suggest that human IgG is present in human milk but does not enter the neonatal and infant circulation in substantial amounts. Consider the developmental and health benefits of breast feeding along with the mothers clinical need for PERJETA treatment and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from PERJETA or from the underlying maternal condition. This consideration should also take into account the elimination half-life of pertuzumab and the trastuzumab wash out period of months.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Pertuzumab targets the extracellular dimerization domain (Subdomain II) of the human epidermal growth factor receptor protein (HER2) and, thereby, blocks ligand-dependent heterodimerization of HER2 with other HER family members, including EGFR, HER3, and HER4. As result, pertuzumab inhibits ligand-initiated intracellular signaling through two major signal pathways, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Inhibition of these signaling pathways can result in cell growth arrest and apoptosis, respectively. In addition, pertuzumab mediates antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).While pertuzumab alone inhibited the proliferation of human tumor cells, the combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab augmented anti-tumor activity in HER2-overexpressing xenograft models.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of pertuzumab.Studies have not been performed to evaluate the mutagenic potential of pertuzumab.No specific fertility studies in animals have been performed to evaluate the effect of pertuzumab. No adverse effects on male and female reproductive organs were observed in repeat-dose toxicity studies of up to six months duration in cynomolgus monkeys.

8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of PERJETA have not been established in pediatric patients.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Pertuzumab demonstrated linear pharmacokinetics at dose range of - 25 mg/kg. Based on population PK analysis that included 481 patients, the median clearance (CL) of pertuzumab was 0.24 L/day and the median half-life was 18 days. With an initial dose of 840 mg followed by maintenance dose of 420 mg every three weeks thereafter, the steady-state concentration of pertuzumab was reached after the first maintenance dose.The population PK analysis suggested no PK differences based on age, gender, ethnicity (Japanese vs. non-Japanese), or disease status (neoadjuvant or adjuvant vs. metastatic setting). Baseline serum albumin level and lean body weight as covariates only exerted minor influence on PK parameters. Therefore, no dose adjustments based on body weight or baseline albumin level are needed.No dedicated renal impairment trial for PERJETA has been conducted. Based on the results of the population pharmacokinetic analysis, pertuzumab exposure in patients with mild (CLcr 60 to 90 mL/min, n=200) and moderate renal impairment (CLcr 30 to 60 mL/min, n=71) were similar to those in patients with normal renal function (CLcr greater than 90 mL/min, n=200). No relationship between CLcr and pertuzumab exposure was observed over the range of observed CLcr (27 to 244 mL/min).

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Pregnancy Pharmacovigilance ProgramThere is pregnancy pharmacovigilance program for PERJETA. If PERJETA is administered during pregnancy, or if patient becomes pregnant while receiving PERJETA or within months following the last dose of PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab, health care providers and patients should immediately report PERJETA exposure to Genentech at 1-888-835-2555.. Risk SummaryBased on its mechanism of action and findings in animal studies, PERJETA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of PERJETA in pregnant women. However, in post-marketing reports, use of another HER2/neu receptor antagonist (trastuzumab) during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. In an animal reproduction study, administration of pertuzumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis resulted in oligohydramnios, delayed fetal kidney development, and embryo-fetal deaths at clinically relevant exposures that were 2.5 to 20-fold greater than exposures in humans receiving the recommended dose, based on Cmax [see Data]. Apprise the patient of the potential risks to fetus. There are clinical considerations if PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab is used during pregnancy or within months prior to conception [see Clinical Considerations].The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. 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. Clinical Considerations. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse ReactionsMonitor women who received PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab during pregnancy or within months prior to conception for oligohydramnios. If oligohydramnios occurs, perform fetal testing that is appropriate for gestational age and consistent with community standards of care.. Data. Animal DataPregnant cynomolgus monkeys were treated on Gestational Day (GD)19 with loading doses of 30 to 150 mg/kg pertuzumab, followed by bi-weekly doses of 10 to 100 mg/kg. These dose levels resulted in clinically relevant exposures of 2.5 to 20-fold greater than exposures in humans receiving the recommended dose, based on Cmax. Intravenous administration of pertuzumab from GD19 through GD50 (period of organogenesis) was embryotoxic, with dose-dependent increases in embryo-fetal death between GD25 to GD70. The incidences of embryo-fetal loss were 33, 50, and 85% for dams treated with bi-weekly pertuzumab doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg, respectively (2.5 to 20-fold greater than the recommended human dose, based on Cmax). At Caesarean section on GD100, oligohydramnios, decreased relative lung and kidney weights, and microscopic evidence of renal hypoplasia consistent with delayed renal development were identified in all pertuzumab dose groups. Pertuzumab exposure was reported in offspring from all treated groups, at levels of 29% to 40% of maternal serum levels at GD100.

RENAL IMPAIRMENT SUBSECTION.


8.6Renal Impairment. Dose adjustments of PERJETA are not needed in patients with mild (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 60 to 90 mL/min) or moderate (CLcr 30 to 60 mL/min) renal impairment. No dose adjustment can be recommended for patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr less than 30 mL/min) because of the limited pharmacokinetic data available [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Consider the developmental and health benefits of breast feeding along with the mothers clinical need for PERJETA treatment and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from PERJETA or from the underlying maternal condition. This consideration should also take into account the elimination half-life of pertuzumab and the trastuzumab wash out period of months. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. Pregnancy TestingVerify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of PERJETA.. Contraception. FemalesBased on the mechanism of action and animal data, PERJETA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered during pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for months following the last dose of PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of PERJETA have not been established in pediatric patients.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. In studies in the indicated populations, CLEOPATRA, NeoSphere, TRYPHAENA, BERENICE, and APHINITY, 464 patients who received PERJETA were >= 65 years of age and 47 were >= 75 years of age. The most common (>= 10%) Grade 3-4 adverse reactions in both age groups were neutropenia (22% >= 65 years, 23% >= 75 years), febrile neutropenia (12% >= 65 years, 13% >= 75 years), diarrhea (15% >= 65 years, 17% >= 75 years) and anemia (15% >= 75 years).The incidence of the following all grade adverse events was at least 5% higher in patients aged >= 65 years of age, compared to patients aged 65 years of age: decreased appetite (13% higher), anemia (7% higher), weight decreased (7% higher), asthenia (7% higher), dysgeusia (7% higher), neuropathy peripheral and hypomagnesemia (both 5% higher).No overall differences in efficacy of PERJETA were observed in patients aged >= 65 and <65 years of age. There are too few patients aged >= 75 years to draw conclusions on efficacy in this age group.Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis, no significant difference was observed in the pharmacokinetics of pertuzumab between patients 65 years (n=306) and patients >= 65 years (n=175).. 8.6Renal Impairment. Dose adjustments of PERJETA are not needed in patients with mild (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 60 to 90 mL/min) or moderate (CLcr 30 to 60 mL/min) renal impairment. No dose adjustment can be recommended for patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr less than 30 mL/min) because of the limited pharmacokinetic data available [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].. 8.7Hepatic Impairment. No clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of pertuzumab.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Infusion-Related Reactions: Monitor for signs and symptoms. If significant infusion-associated reaction occurs, slow or interrupt the infusion and administer appropriate medical therapies. (5.3)Hypersensitivity Reactions/Anaphylaxis: Monitor for signs and symptoms, including angioedema. If severe hypersensitivity reaction/anaphylaxis occurs, discontinue the infusion immediately and administer appropriate medical therapies. (5.4). Infusion-Related Reactions: Monitor for signs and symptoms. If significant infusion-associated reaction occurs, slow or interrupt the infusion and administer appropriate medical therapies. (5.3). Hypersensitivity Reactions/Anaphylaxis: Monitor for signs and symptoms, including angioedema. If severe hypersensitivity reaction/anaphylaxis occurs, discontinue the infusion immediately and administer appropriate medical therapies. (5.4). 5.1Left Ventricular Dysfunction. Decreases in LVEF have been reported with drugs that block HER2 activity, including PERJETA. Assess LVEF prior to initiation of PERJETA and at regular intervals during treatment to ensure that LVEF is within normal limits. If the LVEF declines and has not improved, or has declined further at the subsequent assessment, discontinuation of PERJETA and trastuzumab should be strongly considered [Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].In CLEOPATRA, for patients with MBC, PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel was not associated with increases in the incidence of symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) or decreases in LVEF compared with placebo in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Left ventricular dysfunction occurred in 4% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 8% of patients in the placebo-treated group. Symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (congestive heart failure) occurred in 1% of patients in the PERJETA-treated group and 2% of patients in the placebo-treated group [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Patients who have received prior anthracyclines or prior radiotherapy to the chest area may be at higher risk of decreased LVEF.In patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment in NeoSphere, the incidence of LVSD was higher in the PERJETA-treated groups compared to the trastuzumab- and docetaxel-treated group. An increased incidence of LVEF declines was observed in patients treated with PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. In the overall treatment period, LVEF decline 10% and drop to less than 50% occurred in 2% of patients treated with neoadjuvant trastuzumab and docetaxel as compared to 8% of patients treated with neoadjuvant PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. Left ventricular dysfunction occurred in 0.9% of patients treated with neoadjuvant trastuzumab and docetaxel as compared to 3% of patients treated with neoadjuvant PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel. Symptomatic LVSD occurred in 0.9% of patients treated with neoadjuvant PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab and no patients in the other arms. LVEF recovered to >= 50% in all patients.In patients receiving neoadjuvant PERJETA in TRYPHAENA, in the overall treatment period, LVEF decline 10% and drop to less than 50% occurred in 7% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and FEC followed by PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel, 16% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel following FEC, and 11% of patients treated with PERJETA in combination with TCH. Left ventricular dysfunction occurred in 6% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and FEC followed by PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel, 4% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel following FEC, and 3% of patients treated with PERJETA in combination with TCH. Symptomatic LVSD occurred in 4% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel following FEC, 1% of patients treated with PERJETA in combination with TCH, and none of the patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and FEC followed by PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel. LVEF recovered to >= 50% in all but one patient.In patients receiving neoadjuvant PERJETA in BERENICE, in the neoadjuvant period, LVEF decline >= 10% and drop to less than 50% as measured by ECHO/MUGA assessment occurred in 7% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and paclitaxel following ddAC, and 2% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel following FEC. Ejection fraction decreased (asymptomatic LVD) occurred in 7% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and paclitaxel following ddAC and 4% of the patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel following FEC in the neoadjuvant period. Symptomatic LVSD (NYHA Class III/IV Congestive Heart Failure) occurred in 2% of patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and paclitaxel following ddAC and none of the patients treated with PERJETA plus trastuzumab and docetaxel following FEC in the neoadjuvant period. In patients receiving adjuvant PERJETA in APHINITY, the incidence of symptomatic heart failure (NYHA Class III/IV) with LVEF decline >= 10% and drop to less than 50% was <1% (0.6% of PERJETA-treated patients vs. 0.2% of placebo-treated patients). Of the patients who experienced symptomatic heart failure, 47% of PERJETA-treated patients and 67% of placebo-treated patients had recovered (defined as consecutive LVEF measurements above 50%) at the data cutoff. The majority of the events (86%) were reported in anthracycline-treated patients. Asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (NYHA Class II) declines in LVEF >= 10% and drop to less than 50% were reported in 3% of PERJETA-treated patients and 3% of placebo-treated patients, of whom 80% of PERJETA-treated patients and 81% of placebo-treated patients recovered at the data cutoff. PERJETA has not been studied in patients with pretreatment LVEF value of 50%, prior history of CHF, decreases in LVEF to 50% during prior trastuzumab therapy, or conditions that could impair left ventricular function such as uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment or cumulative prior anthracycline exposure to 360 mg/m2 of doxorubicin or its equivalent.. 5.2Embryo-Fetal Toxicity. Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animal studies, PERJETA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. PERJETA is HER2/neu receptor antagonist. Cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death have been reported with use of another HER2/neu receptor antagonist (trastuzumab) during pregnancy. In an animal reproduction study, administration of pertuzumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis resulted in oligohydramnios, delayed fetal kidney development, and embryo-fetal death at exposures 2.5 to 20 times the exposure in humans at the recommended dose, based on Cmax.Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of PERJETA. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential that exposure to PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab during pregnancy or within months prior to conception can result in fetal harm, including embryo-fetal death or birth defects. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for months following the last dose of PERJETA in combination with trastuzumab [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].. 5.3Infusion-Related Reactions. PERJETA has been associated with infusion reactions, including fatal events. [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. An infusion reaction was defined in CLEOPATRA as any event described as hypersensitivity, anaphylactic reaction, acute infusion reaction, or cytokine release syndrome occurring during an infusion or on the same day as the infusion. The initial dose of PERJETA was given the day before trastuzumab and docetaxel to allow for the examination of PERJETA-associated reactions. On the first day, when only PERJETA was administered, the overall frequency of infusion reactions was 13% in the PERJETA-treated group and 10% in the placebo-treated group. Less than 1% were Grade or 4. The most common infusion reactions (>= 1.0%) were pyrexia, chills, fatigue, headache, asthenia, hypersensitivity, and vomiting. During the second cycle when all drugs were administered on the same day, the most common infusion reactions in the PERJETA-treated group (>= 1.0%) were fatigue, dysgeusia, hypersensitivity, myalgia, and vomiting.In NeoSphere, TRYPHAENA, and APHINITY, PERJETA was administered on the same day as the other study treatment drugs. For APHINITY, infusion-related reactions occurred in 21% of patients on the first day of PERJETA administration (in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy) and in 18% of patients in the placebo arm. The incidence of Grade 3-4 National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE v4.0) reactions was 1% for the PERJETA arm and 0.7% for the placebo arm.Observe patients closely for 60 minutes after the first infusion and for 30 minutes after subsequent infusions of PERJETA. If significant infusion-related reaction occurs, slow or interrupt the infusion, and administer appropriate medical therapies. Monitor patients carefully until complete resolution of signs and symptoms. Consider permanent discontinuation in patients with severe infusion reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. 5.4Hypersensitivity Reactions/Anaphylaxis. In CLEOPATRA, the overall frequency of hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis reactions was 11% in the PERJETA-treated group and 9% in the placebo-treated group. The incidence of Grade - hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis reactions was 2% in the PERJETA-treated group and 3% in the placebo-treated group according to NCI CTCAE v3.0. Overall, patients in the PERJETA-treated group and patients in the placebo-treated group experienced anaphylaxis.In NeoSphere, TRYPHAENA, BERENICE, and APHINITY, hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis events were consistent with those observed in CLEOPATRA. In NeoSphere, two patients in the PERJETA- and docetaxel-treated group experienced anaphylaxis. In APHINITY, the overall frequency of hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis was 5% in the PERJETA treated group vs. 4% in the placebo-treated group. The incidence was highest in the PERJETA plus TCH treated group (8%) of which 1% were NCI-CTCAE (v4.0) Grade - 4.Patients should be observed closely for hypersensitivity reactions. Severe hypersensitivity, including anaphylaxis and fatal events, have been observed in patients treated with PERJETA [see Clinical Trials Experience (6.1)]. Angioedema has been described in post-marketing reports. Medications to treat such reactions, as well as emergency equipment, should be available for immediate use. PERJETA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pertuzumab or to any of its excipients [see Contraindications (4)].
