Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed cannot be directly compared to rates on other clinical trials and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.The safety data reflect exposure to DOXIL liposomal infusion in 1310 patients including: 239 patients with ovarian cancer, 753 patients with AIDS-related Kaposis sarcoma, and 318 patients with multiple myeloma.The most common adverse reactions (>20%) observed with DOXIL liposomal infusion are asthenia, fatigue, fever, nausea, stomatitis, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, anorexia, hand-foot syndrome, rash and neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia.The following tables present adverse reactions from clinical trials of single-agent DOXIL liposomal infusion in ovarian cancer and AIDS-Related Kaposis sarcoma.. Patients With Ovarian CancerThe safety data described below are from Trial 4, which included 239 patients with ovarian cancer treated with DOXIL liposomal infusion 50 mg/m2 once every weeks for minimum of four courses in randomized, multicenter, open-label study. In this trial, patients received DOXIL liposomal infusion for median number of 3.2 months (range day to 25.8 months). The median age of the patients is 60 years (range 27 to 87), with 91% Caucasian, 6% Black, and 3% Hispanic or Other.Table presents the hematologic adverse reactions from Trial 4.Table 3: Hematologic Adverse Reactions in Trial 4DOXIL Liposomal Infusion Patients (n=239)Topotecan Patients (n=235)Neutropenia 500 <1000/mm3 8%14% <500/mm3 4.2%62%Anemia 6.5 <8 g/dL5%25% 6.5 g/dL0.4%4.3%Thrombocytopenia 10,000 <50,000/mm3 1.3%17% <10,000/mm3 0.0%17%Table presents the non-hematologic adverse reactions from Trial 4.Table 4: Non-Hematologic Adverse Reactions in Trial 4Non-Hematologic Adverse Reaction 10% or GreaterDOXIL Liposomal Infusion (%) treated(n=239)Topotecan (%) treated(n=235)All gradesGrades 3-4All gradesGrades 3-4 Body as Whole Asthenia407528 Fever210.8316 Mucous Membrane Disorder143.83.40 Back Pain121.7100.9 Infection122.160.9 Headache110.8150 Digestive Nausea465638 Stomatitis418150.4 Vomiting3384410 Diarrhea212.5354.2 Anorexia202.5221.3 Dyspepsia120.8140 Nervous Dizziness4.20100 Respiratory Pharyngitis160180.4 Dyspnea154.1234.3 Cough increased100120 Skin and Appendages Hand-foot syndrome51240.90 Rash294.2120.4 Alopecia19N/A52N/AThe following additional adverse reactions were observed in patients with ovarian cancer with doses administered every four weeks (Trial 4)..

Patients With AIDS-Related Kaposis SarcomaThe safety data described is based on the experience reported in 753 patients with AIDS-related Kaposis sarcoma (KS) enrolled in four open-label, uncontrolled trials of DOXIL liposomal infusion administered at doses ranging from 10 to 40 mg/m2 every to weeks. Demographics of the population were: median age 38.7 years (range 24-70); 99% male; 88% Caucasian, 6% Hispanic, 4% Black, and 2% Asian/other/unknown. The majority of patients were treated with 20 mg/m2 of DOXIL liposomal infusion every to weeks with median exposure of 4.2 months (range day to 26.6 months). The median cumulative dose was 120 mg/m2 (range 3.3 to 798.6 mg/m2); 3% received cumulative doses of greater than 450 mg/m2.Disease characteristics were: 61% poor risk for KS tumor burden, 91% poor risk for immune system, and 47% poor risk for systemic illness; 36% were poor risk for all three categories; median CD4 count 21 cells/mm3 (51% less than 50 cells/mm3); mean absolute neutrophil count at study entry approximately 3,000 cells/mm3.Of the 693 patients with concomitant medication information, 59% were on one or more antiretroviral medications [35% zidovudine (AZT), 21% didanosine (ddI), 16% zalcitabine (ddC), and 10% stavudine (D4T)]; 85% received PCP prophylaxis (54% sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim); 85% received antifungal medications (76% fluconazole); 72% received antivirals (56% acyclovir, 29% ganciclovir, and 16% foscarnet) and 48% patients received colony-stimulating factors (sargramostim/filgrastim) during their course of treatment.Adverse reactions led to discontinuation of treatment in 5% of patients with AIDS-related Kaposis sarcoma and included myelosuppression, cardiac adverse reactions, infusion-related reactions, toxoplasmosis, HFS, pneumonia, cough/dyspnea, fatigue, optic neuritis, progression of non-KS tumor, allergy to penicillin, and unspecified reasons.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility. Mutagenicity or carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with DOXIL liposomal infusion, however doxorubicin was shown to be mutagenic in the in vitro Ames assay, and clastogenic in multiple in vitro assays (CHO cell, V79 hamster cell, human lymphoblast, and SCE assays) and the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. The possible adverse effects on fertility in animals have not been adequately evaluated. DOXIL liposomal infusion resulted in mild to moderate ovarian and testicular atrophy in mice after administration of single dose of 36 mg/kg (about times the 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis). Decreased testicular weights and hypospermia were observed in rats after repeat doses >= 0.25 mg/kg/day (about 0.03 times the 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis), and diffuse degeneration of the seminiferous tubules and marked decrease in spermatogenesis were observed in dogs after repeat doses of mg/kg/day (about 0.4 times the 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. The active ingredient of DOXIL liposomal infusion is doxorubicin hydrochloride. The mechanism of action of doxorubicin hydrochloride is thought to be related to its ability to bind DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. Cell structure studies have demonstrated rapid cell penetration and perinuclear chromatin binding, rapid inhibition of mitotic activity and nucleic acid synthesis, and induction of mutagenesis and chromosomal aberrations.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetic parameters for total doxorubicin following single dose of DOXIL infused over 30 minutes are presented in Table 8.Table 8: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Total Doxorubicin from DOXIL Liposomal Infusion in Patients With AIDS-Related Kaposis SarcomaDoseParameter (units)10 mg/m2 20 mg/m2 N=23Mean +- Standard ErrorPeak Plasma Concentration (ug/mL)4.12 +- 0.2158.34 +- 0.49Plasma Clearance (L/h/m2)0.056 +- 0.010.041 +- 0.004Steady State Volume of Distribution (L/m2)2.83 +- 0.1452.72 +- 0.120AUC (ug/mLh)277 +- 32.9590 +- 58.7First Phase (1) Half-Life (h)4.7 +- 1.15.2 +- 1.4Second Phase (1) Half-Life (h)52.3 +- 5.655.0 +- 4.8DOXIL liposomal infusion displayed linear pharmacokinetics over the range of 10 to 20 mg/m2. Relative to DOXIL liposomal infusion doses at or below 20 mg/m2, the pharmacokinetics of total doxorubicin following 50 mg/m2 DOXIL liposomal infusion dose are nonlinear. At this dose, the elimination half-life of DOXIL liposomal infusion is longer and the clearance lower compared to 20 mg/m2 dose.. DistributionDirect measurement of liposomal doxorubicin shows that at least 90% of the drug (the assay used cannot quantify less than 5-10% free doxorubicin) remains liposome-encapsulated during circulation.In contrast to doxorubicin, which displays large volume of distribution (range 700 to 1100 L/m2), the small steady state volume of distribution of liposomal doxorubicin suggests that DOXIL liposomal infusion is largely confined to vascular fluid. Doxorubicin becomes available after the liposomes are extravasated. Plasma protein binding of DOXIL liposomal infusion has not been determined; the plasma protein binding of doxorubicin is approximately 70%.. MetabolismDoxorubicinol, the major metabolite of doxorubicin, was detected at concentrations of 0.8 to 26.2 ng/mL in the plasma of patients who received 10 or 20 mg/m2 DOXIL liposomal infusion.. EliminationThe plasma clearance of total doxorubicin from DOXIL liposomal infusion was 0.041 L/h/m2 at dose of 20 mg/m2. Following administration of doxorubicin hydrochloride, the plasma clearance of doxorubicin is 24 to 35 L/h/m2.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Ovarian Cancer. DOXIL liposomal infusion was studied in three open-label, single-arm, clinical studies of 176 patients with metastatic ovarian cancer (Trials 1, 2, and 3). One hundred forty-five of these patients were refractory to both paclitaxel- and platinum-based chemotherapy regimens, defined as disease progression while on treatment or relapse within months of completing treatment. Patients received DOXIL liposomal infusion at 50 mg/m2 every or weeks for 3-6+ cycles in the absence of dose-limiting toxicity or disease progression.The median age at diagnosis ranged from 52 to 64 years in the studies, and the range was 22 to 85. Most patients had International Federation of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FIGO) stage III or IV disease (ranging from 83% to 93%). Approximately one third of the patients had three or more prior lines of therapy (ranging from 22% to 33%).The primary outcome measure was confirmed response rate based on Southwestern Oncology Group (SWOG) criteria for patients refractory to both paclitaxel- and platinum-containing regimen. Secondary efficacy parameters were time to response, duration of response, and time to progression.The response rates for the individual single arm trials are given in Table below.Table 9: Response Rates in Patients With Refractory Ovarian Cancer From Single Arm Ovarian Cancer TrialsTrial (U.S.)N=27Trial (U.S.)N=82Trial (non-U.S.)N=36Response Rate22.2%17.1%0%95% Confidence Interval8.6% 42.3%9.7% 27.0%0.0% 9.7%In pooled analysis of Trials 1-3, the response rate for all patients refractory to paclitaxel and platinum agents was 13.8% (95% CI 8.1% to 19.3%). The median time to progression was 15.9 weeks, the median time to response was 17.6 weeks, and the duration of response was 39.4 weeks.In Trial 4, randomized, multicenter, open-label, trial in 474 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer after platinum-based chemotherapy, patients were randomized to receive either DOXIL liposomal infusion 50 mg/m2 every weeks (n=239) or topotecan 1.5 mg/m2 daily for consecutive days every weeks (n=235). Patients were stratified according to platinum sensitivity (response to initial platinum-based therapy and progression-free interval of greater than months off treatment) and the presence of bulky disease (tumor mass greater than cm in size). The primary outcome measure was time to progression (TTP). Other endpoints included overall survival and objective response rate.Of the 474 patients, the median age at diagnosis was 60 years (range 25 to 87), 90% were FIGO stage III and IV; 46% were platinum sensitive; and 45% had bulky disease.There was no statistically significant difference in TTP between the two arms.

DOXIL liposomal infusion was studied in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter study at dose of 20 mg/m2 every weeks, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (Trial 5).Data is described for cohort of 77 patients retrospectively identified as having disease progression on prior systemic combination chemotherapy (at least two cycles of regimen containing at least two of three treatments: bleomycin, vincristine or vinblastine, or doxorubicin) or as being intolerant to such therapy. Forty-nine of the 77 (64%) patients had received prior doxorubicin hydrochloride.The median time on study was 5.1 months (range day to 15 months). The median cumulative dose of DOXIL liposomal infusion was 154 mg/m2 (range 20 to 620 mg/m2). Among the 77 patients, mean age was 38 years (range 24 to 54); 87% were Caucasian, 5% Hispanic, 4% Black, and 4% Asian/Other/Unknown; median CD4 count was 10 cells/mm3; ACTG staging criteria were 78% poor risk for tumor burden, 96% poor risk for immune system, and 58% poor risk for systemic illness at baseline; and mean Karnofsky status score was 74%. All patients had cutaneous or subcutaneous lesions, 40% also had oral lesions, 26% pulmonary lesions, and 14% had lesions of the stomach/intestine.Two analyses of tumor response were used: one based on investigator assessment of changes in lesions based on modified ACTG criteria (partial response defined as no new lesions, sites of disease, or worsening edema; flattening of >=50% of previously raised lesions or area of indicator lesions decreasing by >=50%; and response lasting at least 21 days with no prior progression), and one based on changes in up to five prospectively indentified representative indicator lesions (partial response defined as flattening of >=50% of previously raised indicator lesions, or >50% decrease in the area of indicator lesions and lasting at least 21 days with no prior progression).Of the 77 patients, 34 were evaluable for investigator assessment and 42 were evaluable for indicator lesion assessment; analyses of tumor responses are shown in Table 11.Table 11: Response in Patients with RefractoryPatients with disease that progressed on prior combination chemotherapy or who were intolerant to such therapy.

In one trial, of 17 (40%) patients had durable response (median duration not reached but was longer than 11.6 months). In the second trial, of 11 patients (40%) on stable antiretroviral therapy demonstrated durable responses.. 14.3 Multiple Myeloma. The efficacy of DOXIL liposomal infusion in combination with bortezomib was evaluated in Trial 6, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter study in 646 patients who had not previously received bortezomib and whose disease progressed during or after at least one prior therapy. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either DOXIL liposomal infusion (30 mg/m2) administered IV on day following bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 4, and 11) or bortezomib alone every weeks for up to cycles or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who maintained response were allowed to receive further treatment. The median number of cycles in each treatment arm was (range 1-18).The baseline demographics and clinical characteristics of the patients with multiple myeloma were similar between treatment arms (Table 12).Table 12: Summary of Baseline Patient and Disease CharacteristicsPatient CharacteristicsDOXIL LiposomalInfusion bortezomibn=324bortezomibn=322 Median age in years (range)61 (28, 85)62 (34, 88) Male/female 58 4254 46 Caucasian/Black/other 90 6 494 4 2Disease Characteristics with IgG/IgA/Light chain 57 27 1262 24 11 2-microglobulin group <=2.5 mg/L1414 >2.5 mg/L and <=5.5 mg/L5655 >5.5 mg/L3031Serum M-protein (g/dL): Median (Range)2.5 (0-10.0)2.7 (0-10.0)Urine M-protein (mg/24 hours): Median (Range)107 (0-24883)66 (0-39657)Median Months Since Diagnosis35.237.5% Prior Therapy One3434 More than one6666Prior Systemic Therapies for Multiple Myeloma Corticosteroid (%)99>99 Anthracyclines6867 Alkylating agent (%)9290 Thalidomide/lenalidomide (%)4043 Stem cell transplantation (%)5754The primary outcome measure was time to progression (TTP). TTP was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progressive disease or death due to progressive disease. The combination arm demonstrated significant improvement in TTP. As the prespecified primary objective was achieved at the interim analysis, patients in the bortezomib monotherapy group were then allowed to receive the DOXIL liposomal infusion bortezomib combination.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. The active ingredient of DOXIL liposomal infusion is doxorubicin hydrochloride. The mechanism of action of doxorubicin hydrochloride is thought to be related to its ability to bind DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. Cell structure studies have demonstrated rapid cell penetration and perinuclear chromatin binding, rapid inhibition of mitotic activity and nucleic acid synthesis, and induction of mutagenesis and chromosomal aberrations.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility. Mutagenicity or carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with DOXIL liposomal infusion, however doxorubicin was shown to be mutagenic in the in vitro Ames assay, and clastogenic in multiple in vitro assays (CHO cell, V79 hamster cell, human lymphoblast, and SCE assays) and the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. The possible adverse effects on fertility in animals have not been adequately evaluated. DOXIL liposomal infusion resulted in mild to moderate ovarian and testicular atrophy in mice after administration of single dose of 36 mg/kg (about times the 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis). Decreased testicular weights and hypospermia were observed in rats after repeat doses >= 0.25 mg/kg/day (about 0.03 times the 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis), and diffuse degeneration of the seminiferous tubules and marked decrease in spermatogenesis were observed in dogs after repeat doses of mg/kg/day (about 0.4 times the 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis).

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.


10 OVERDOSAGE. Acute overdosage with doxorubicin hydrochloride causes increased risk of severe mucositis, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.


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

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetic parameters for total doxorubicin following single dose of DOXIL infused over 30 minutes are presented in Table 8.Table 8: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Total Doxorubicin from DOXIL Liposomal Infusion in Patients With AIDS-Related Kaposis SarcomaDoseParameter (units)10 mg/m2 20 mg/m2 N=23Mean +- Standard ErrorPeak Plasma Concentration (ug/mL)4.12 +- 0.2158.34 +- 0.49Plasma Clearance (L/h/m2)0.056 +- 0.010.041 +- 0.004Steady State Volume of Distribution (L/m2)2.83 +- 0.1452.72 +- 0.120AUC (ug/mLh)277 +- 32.9590 +- 58.7First Phase (1) Half-Life (h)4.7 +- 1.15.2 +- 1.4Second Phase (1) Half-Life (h)52.3 +- 5.655.0 +- 4.8DOXIL liposomal infusion displayed linear pharmacokinetics over the range of 10 to 20 mg/m2. Relative to DOXIL liposomal infusion doses at or below 20 mg/m2, the pharmacokinetics of total doxorubicin following 50 mg/m2 DOXIL liposomal infusion dose are nonlinear. At this dose, the elimination half-life of DOXIL liposomal infusion is longer and the clearance lower compared to 20 mg/m2 dose.. DistributionDirect measurement of liposomal doxorubicin shows that at least 90% of the drug (the assay used cannot quantify less than 5-10% free doxorubicin) remains liposome-encapsulated during circulation.In contrast to doxorubicin, which displays large volume of distribution (range 700 to 1100 L/m2), the small steady state volume of distribution of liposomal doxorubicin suggests that DOXIL liposomal infusion is largely confined to vascular fluid. Doxorubicin becomes available after the liposomes are extravasated. Plasma protein binding of DOXIL liposomal infusion has not been determined; the plasma protein binding of doxorubicin is approximately 70%.. MetabolismDoxorubicinol, the major metabolite of doxorubicin, was detected at concentrations of 0.8 to 26.2 ng/mL in the plasma of patients who received 10 or 20 mg/m2 DOXIL liposomal infusion.. EliminationThe plasma clearance of total doxorubicin from DOXIL liposomal infusion was 0.041 L/h/m2 at dose of 20 mg/m2. Following administration of doxorubicin hydrochloride, the plasma clearance of doxorubicin is 24 to 35 L/h/m2.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, DOXIL liposomal infusion can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman; avoid the use of DOXIL liposomal infusion during the 1st trimester. In animal reproduction studies, DOXIL liposomal infusion was embryotoxic in rats and abortifacient in rabbits following intravenous administration during organogenesis at doses approximately 0.12 times the recommended clinical dose (see Data). Available human data do not establish the presence or absence of major birth defects and miscarriage related to the use of doxorubicin hydrochloride during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus.The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. However, the background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4% and of miscarriage is 15-20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.. Data. Animal DataDOXIL liposomal infusion was embryotoxic at doses of mg/kg/day in rats and was embryotoxic and abortifacient at 0.5 mg/kg/day in rabbits (both doses are about 0.12 times the recommended dose of 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis). Embryotoxicity was characterized by increased embryo-fetal deaths and reduced live litter sizes.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. oLactation: Discontinue breastfeeding (8.2). oLactation: Discontinue breastfeeding (8.2). 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, DOXIL liposomal infusion can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman; avoid the use of DOXIL liposomal infusion during the 1st trimester. In animal reproduction studies, DOXIL liposomal infusion was embryotoxic in rats and abortifacient in rabbits following intravenous administration during organogenesis at doses approximately 0.12 times the recommended clinical dose (see Data). Available human data do not establish the presence or absence of major birth defects and miscarriage related to the use of doxorubicin hydrochloride during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus.The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. However, the background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4% and of miscarriage is 15-20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.. Data. Animal DataDOXIL liposomal infusion was embryotoxic at doses of mg/kg/day in rats and was embryotoxic and abortifacient at 0.5 mg/kg/day in rabbits (both doses are about 0.12 times the recommended dose of 50 mg/m2 human dose on mg/m2 basis). Embryotoxicity was characterized by increased embryo-fetal deaths and reduced live litter sizes.. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryIt is not known whether DOXIL liposomal infusion is present in human milk. Because many drugs, including anthracyclines, are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from DOXIL liposomal infusion, discontinue breastfeeding during treatment with DOXIL liposomal infusion.. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating DOXIL liposomal infusion.. Contraception. FemalesDOXIL liposomal infusion can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and for months after treatment with DOXIL liposomal infusion.. MalesDOXIL liposomal infusion may damage spermatozoa and testicular tissue, resulting in possible genetic fetal abnormalities. Males with female sexual partners of reproductive potential should use effective contraception during and for months after treatment with DOXIL liposomal infusion [see Non-clinical Toxicology (13.1)]. Infertility. FemalesIn females of reproductive potential, DOXIL liposomal infusion may cause infertility and result in amenorrhea. Premature menopause can occur with doxorubicin hydrochloride. Recovery of menses and ovulation is related to age at treatment. MalesDOXIL liposomal infusion may result in oligospermia, azoospermia, and permanent loss of fertility. Sperm counts have been reported to return to normal levels in some men. This may occur several years after the end of therapy [see Non-clinical Toxicology (13.1)].. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of DOXIL liposomal infusion in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. Clinical studies of DOXIL liposomal infusion conducted in patients with either epithelial ovarian cancer (Trial 4) or with AIDS-related Kaposis sarcoma (Trial 5) did not contain sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.In Trial 6, of 318 patients treated with DOXIL liposomal infusion in combination with bortezomib for multiple myeloma, 37% were 65 years of age or older and 8% were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between these patients and younger patients.. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment. The pharmacokinetics of DOXIL liposomal infusion has not been adequately evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment. Doxorubicin is eliminated in large part by the liver. Reduce DOXIL liposomal infusion for serum bilirubin of 1.2 mg/dL or higher.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. oHand-Foot Syndrome may occur. Dose modification or discontinuation may be required (5.3)oEmbryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise of potential risk to fetus. Use effective contraception (5.5, 8.1, 8.3). oHand-Foot Syndrome may occur. Dose modification or discontinuation may be required (5.3). oEmbryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise of potential risk to fetus. Use effective contraception (5.5, 8.1, 8.3). 5.1 Cardiomyopathy. Doxorubicin hydrochloride can cause myocardial damage, including acute left ventricular failure. The risk of cardiomyopathy with doxorubicin hydrochloride is generally proportional to the cumulative exposure. Include prior use of other anthracyclines or anthracenediones in calculations of cumulative dose. The risk of cardiomyopathy may be increased at lower cumulative doses in patients with prior mediastinal irradiation.In clinical study in 250 patients with advanced cancer who were treated with DOXIL liposomal infusion, the risk of cardiomyopathy was 11% when the cumulative anthracycline dose was between 450 mg/m2 to 550 mg/m2. Cardiomyopathy was defined as >20% decrease in resting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline where LVEF remained in the normal range or >10% decrease in LVEF from baseline where LVEF was less than the institutional lower limit of normal. Two percent of patients developed signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure without documented evidence of cardiomyopathy.Assess left ventricular cardiac function (e.g. MUGA or echocardiogram) prior to initiation of DOXIL liposomal infusion, during treatment to detect acute changes, and after treatment to detect delayed cardiomyopathy. Administer DOXIL liposomal infusion to patients with history of cardiovascular disease only when the potential benefit of treatment outweighs the risk.. 5.2 Infusion-Related Reactions. Serious, life-threatening, and fatal infusion-related reactions characterized by one or more of the following symptoms can occur with DOXIL liposomal infusion: flushing, shortness of breath, facial swelling, headache, chills, chest pain, back pain, tightness in the chest and throat, fever, tachycardia, pruritus, rash, cyanosis, syncope, bronchospasm, asthma, apnea, and hypotension. Of 239 patients with ovarian cancer treated with DOXIL liposomal infusion in Trial 4, 7% of patients experienced acute infusion-related reactions resulting in dose interruption. All occurred during cycle and none during subsequent cycles. Across multiple studies of DOXIL liposomal infusion monotherapy including this and other studies enrolling 760 patients with various solid tumors, 11% of patients had infusion-related reactions. The majority of infusion-related events occurred during the first infusion.Ensure that medications to treat infusion-related reactions and cardiopulmonary resuscitative equipment are available for immediate use prior to initiation of DOXIL liposomal infusion. Initiate DOXIL liposomal infusions at rate of mg/min and increase rate as tolerated [see Dosage and Administration (2.6)]. Withhold DOXIL liposomal infusion for Grade 1, 2, or infusion-related reactions and resume at reduced infusion rate. Discontinue DOXIL liposomal infusion for serious or life-threatening infusion-related reactions.. 5.3 Hand-Foot Syndrome (HFS). In Trial 4, the incidence of HFS was 51% of patients in the DOXIL liposomal infusion arm and 0.9% of patients in the topotecan arm, including 24% Grade or cases of HFS in DOXIL liposomal infusion-treated patients and no Grade or cases in topotecan-treated patients. HFS or other skin toxicity required discontinuation of DOXIL liposomal infusion in 4.2% of patients.HFS was generally observed after or cycles of treatment but may occur earlier. Delay DOXIL liposomal infusion for the first episode of Grade or greater HFS [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Discontinue DOXIL liposomal infusion if HFS is severe and debilitating.. 5.4 Secondary Oral Neoplasms. Secondary oral cancers, primarily squamous cell carcinoma, have been reported from post-marketing experience in patients with long-term (more than one year) exposure to DOXIL liposomal infusion. These malignancies were diagnosed both during treatment with DOXIL liposomal infusion and up to years after the last dose. Examine patients at regular intervals for the presence of oral ulceration or with any oral discomfort that may be indicative of secondary oral cancer. The altered pharmacokinetics and preferential tissue distribution of liposomal doxorubicin that contributes to enhanced skin toxicity and mucositis compared to free doxorubicin may play role in the development of oral secondary malignancies with long-term use. 5.5 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity. Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, DOXIL liposomal infusion can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman; avoid the use of DOXIL liposomal infusion during the 1st trimester. Available human data do not establish the presence or absence of major birth defects and miscarriage related to the use of doxorubicin hydrochloride during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. At doses approximately 0.12 times the recommended clinical dose, DOXIL liposomal infusion was embryotoxic and abortifacient in rabbits. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to fetus. Advise females and males of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and for months after treatment with DOXIL liposomal infusion [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
