IMMUNOGENICITY.


12.6Immunogenicity. The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of cemiplimab-rwlc or of other cemiplimab products.During the treatment period ranging from to 19 months in clinical studies, the incidence of anti-cemiplimab-rwlc antibodies in LIBTAYO-treated patients was 2% (22/1029).There was no identified clinically significant effect of anti-cemiplimab-rwlc antibodies on PK of LIBTAYO over the treatment duration ranging from months to 19 months. Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of LIBTAYO is unknown.

The most common adverse reactions (>=15%) are alopecia, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and decreased appetite. (6.1). 6.1Clinical 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 practice.The data described in Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to LIBTAYO as single agent in 1281 patients in three open-label, single-arm, multicohort studies, and two open-label randomized multi-center studies. These studies included 384 patients with advanced CSCC (Studies 1540 and 1423), 138 patients with advanced BCC (Study 1620), 355 patients with NSCLC (Study 1624), and 404 patients with other advanced solid tumors. LIBTAYO was administered intravenously at doses of mg/kg every weeks (n=235), 350 mg every weeks (n=1014), or other doses (n=32). Among the 1281 patients, 53% were exposed for months or longer and 26% were exposed for one year or longer. In this pooled safety population, the most common adverse reactions (>=15%) were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, rash, diarrhea, and anemia. The most common Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities (>=2%) were lymphopenia, anemia, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, increased aspartate aminotransferase, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, and increased alanine aminotransferase.In addition, the data below reflect exposure to LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in 312 patients with NSCLC enrolled in randomized, active controlled trial (Study 16113).. Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC). Study 1540The safety of LIBTAYO was evaluated in 358 patients with advanced CSCC (metastatic or locally advanced disease) in Study 1540 [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Of these 358 patients, 213 had mCSCC (nodal or distant) and 145 had laCSCC.

First-line treatment of NSCLC with LIBTAYO as single agentThe safety of LIBTAYO was evaluated in 355 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in Study 1624 [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. Patients received LIBTAYO 350 mg every weeks (n=355) or investigators choice of chemotherapy (n=342), consisting of paclitaxel plus cisplatin or carboplatin; gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin; or pemetrexed plus cisplatin or carboplatin followed by optional pemetrexed maintenance. The median duration of exposure was 27.3 weeks (9 days to 115 weeks) in the LIBTAYO group and 17.7 weeks (18 days to 86.7 weeks) in the chemotherapy group. In the LIBTAYO group, 54% of patients were exposed to LIBTAYO for >= months and 22% were exposed for >= 12 months.The safety population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (31 to 79 years), 44% of patients 65 or older, 88% male, 86%White, 82% had metastatic disease and 18% had locally advanced disease, and ECOG performance score (PS) of (27%) and (73%).LIBTAYO was permanently discontinued due to adverse reactions in 6% of patients; adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation in at least patients were pneumonitis, pneumonia, ischemic stroke, and increased aspartate aminotransferase.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In animal models, inhibition of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. M. tuberculosis-infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-L1 and PD-1 knockout mice and mice receiving PD-L1 blocking antibody have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No studies have been performed to assess the potential of cemiplimab-rwlc for carcinogenicity or genotoxicity.In 3-month repeat-dose toxicology study in sexually mature cynomolgus monkeys, there were no cemiplimab-rwlc-related effects on fertility parameters (menstrual cycle, semen analysis, or testicular measurements) or in male or female reproductive organs at doses up to the highest dose tested, 50 mg/kg/week (approximately 5.5 to 25.5 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 350 mg once every weeks).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1Mechanism of Action. Binding of the PD-1 ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 to the PD-1 receptor found on cells inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors.Cemiplimab-rwlc is recombinant human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to PD-1 and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth.. 12.2Pharmacodynamics. Cemiplimab exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are not fully characterized.. 12.3Pharmacokinetics. Cemiplimab-rwlc pharmacokinetic data were collected in 1063 patients with various solid tumors. The pharmacokinetics of cemiplimab-rwlc were linear and dose proportional in the dose range of mg/kg to 10 mg/kg LIBTAYO administered intravenously every weeks.At 350 mg every weeks, the mean cemiplimab-rwlc concentrations (coefficient of variation, CV%) at steady-state ranged between minimum concentration of 59 mg/L (47%) and maximum concentration of 171 mg/L (27%). Steady-state exposure is achieved after months of treatment.In patients with CSCC, cemiplimab-rwlc steady-state exposure at 350 mg every weeks was comparable to the exposure at mg/kg every weeks.. DistributionThe volume of distribution of cemiplimab-rwlc at steady state is 5.9 (29%).. EliminationCemiplimab-rwlc clearance (CV%) after the first dose is 0.25 L/day (41%) and decreases over time by 11%, resulting in steady-state clearance (CLss) (CV%) of 0.22 L/day (44%). The elimination half-life (CV%) at steady state is 22 days (42%).. Specific PopulationsThe following factors have no clinically important effect on the exposure of cemiplimab-rwlc in 1063 patients: age (27 to 96 years), sex, body weight (31 to 172 kg), cancer type, albumin level (20 to 93 g/L), renal function (creatinine clearance determined by Cockcroft-Gault 21 mL/min or greater) and hepatic function (total bilirubin greater than 1.0 times up to 3.0 times the ULN). Race [White (N=932), Asian (N=47), Black (N=21)] appears to have no clinically important effect on the exposure of cemiplimab-rwlc. LIBTAYO has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 3.0 times the ULN).. 12.6Immunogenicity. The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of cemiplimab-rwlc or of other cemiplimab products.During the treatment period ranging from to 19 months in clinical studies, the incidence of anti-cemiplimab-rwlc antibodies in LIBTAYO-treated patients was 2% (22/1029).There was no identified clinically significant effect of anti-cemiplimab-rwlc antibodies on PK of LIBTAYO over the treatment duration ranging from months to 19 months. Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of LIBTAYO is unknown.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC). The efficacy of LIBTAYO in patients with metastatic (nodal or distant) cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (mCSCC) or locally advanced CSCC (laCSCC) who were not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation was evaluated in two open-label, multi-center, non-randomized, multicohort studies: Study 1423 (NCT02383212) and Study 1540 (NCT02760498). Both studies excluded patients with autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy with immunosuppressant agents within years; history of solid organ transplant; prior treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies or other immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy; infection with HIV, hepatitis or hepatitis C; or ECOG PS >= 2.Patients received LIBTAYO mg/kg intravenously every weeks for up to 48 weeks in Study 1423 or up to 96 weeks (Groups and 2), or 350 mg every weeks for up to 54 weeks (Group 3) in Study 1540. Treatment continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or completion of planned treatment. Tumor response assessments were performed every or weeks. The major efficacy outcome measures were confirmed objective response rate (ORR), defined as complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR) as assessed by independent central review (ICR), and ICR-assessed duration of response (DOR). For patients with mCSCC without externally visible target lesions, ORR was determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). For patients with externally visible target lesions (laCSCC and mCSCC), ORR was determined by composite endpoint that integrated ICR assessments of radiologic data (RECIST 1.1) and digital medical photography (WHO criteria).. Study 1540In the efficacy analysis of 193 patients with advanced CSCC enrolled in Study 1540 who received LIBTAYO at either mg/kg every weeks or 350 mg every three weeks, 115 had mCSCC and 78 had laCSCC. The median age was 72 years (38 to 96 years); 83% were male; 97% were White, 2% were Asian, 1% were Black or African American, and 1% were race unknown; 45% had ECOG PS and 55% had ECOG PS 1; 34% received at least one prior anti-cancer systemic therapy; 81% received prior cancer-related surgery; and 68% received prior radiotherapy. Among patients with mCSCC, 77% had distant metastases and 23% had only nodal metastases.For the responding patients presented in Table 10 below, the median time to response was 2.1 months (range: 1.7 to 22.8 months).Efficacy results based on the final analysis of Study 1540 are presented in Table 10.Table 10:Efficacy Results for Study 1540 in CSCCEfficacy EndpointsMedian duration of follow up: mCSCC mg/kg every weeks: 18.5 months; laCSCC mg/kg every weeks: 15.5 months; mCSCC 350 mg every weeks: 17.3 months; combined CSCC: 15.7 months Metastatic CSCC LIBTAYO mg/kg every weeks (Group 1)Locally Advanced CSCC LIBTAYO mg/kg every weeks (Group 2)Metastatic CSCC LIBTAYO 350 mg every weeks (Group 3)Combined CSCCN 59N 78N 56N 193CI: confidence interval; NR: not reachedConfirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) (%) ORR (95% CI)51 (37, 64)45 (34, 57)46 (33, 60)47 (40, 54) Complete response rateOnly includes patients with complete healing of prior cutaneous involvement; laCSCC patients in Study 1540 required biopsy to confirm CR 20132017 Partial response rate31322730Duration of Response (DOR) Number of RespondersN 30N 35N 26N 91 Median DOR in monthsBased on Kaplan-Meier estimate (Range)NR (2.8 38.9)42 (1.9 54.6)41 (4.2 46.3)41 (1.9 54.6) Patients with observed DOR >= months, (%)The numerator includes the number of patients whose observed DOR reached at least the specified times of or 12 months.

Study 1423Among 26 CSCC patients in Study 1423, 16 had mCSCC and 10 had laCSCC. The median age was 73 years (52 to 88 years); 81% of patients were male; 92% of patients were White; the ECOG PS was (38%) and (62%); 58% of patients had received at least prior anti-cancer systemic therapy; 92% of patients had received prior cancer-related surgery and 81% had received prior radiotherapy. One patient in the mCSCC group was dosed at mg/kg. The rest received mg/kg every weeks.With median duration of follow-up of 13.3 months, the confirmed ORR was 50% (95% CI: 30, 70); all responses were PRs. The median time to response was 1.9 months (range: 1.7 to 7.3 months) and 85% of responders had DOR >= months.. 14.2Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). The efficacy of LIBTAYO in 138 patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) [unresectable locally advanced (laBCC) or metastatic (nodal or distant) (mBCC)] who had progressed on hedgehog pathway inhibitor (HHI) therapy, had not had an objective response after months on HHI therapy, or were intolerant of prior HHI therapy was evaluated in Study 1620 (NCT03132636), an open-label, multi-center, non-randomized study. The study excluded patients with autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy with immunosuppressant agents within years; history of solid organ transplant; prior treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy or other immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy; infection with HIV, hepatitis or hepatitis C; or ECOG performance score (PS) >= 2.Patients received LIBTAYO 350 mg every weeks for up to 93 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or completion of planned treatment. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks for the first 45 weeks of treatment and every 12 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measures were confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as assessed by independent central review (ICR). For patients with mBCC without externally visible target lesions, ORR was determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). For patients with externally visible target lesions (laBCC and mBCC), ORR was determined by composite endpoint that integrated ICR assessments of radiologic data (RECIST 1.1) and digital medical photography (WHO criteria).A total of 138 patients with advanced BCC were included in the efficacy analysis of Study 1620. Of these, 39% had mBCC and 61% had laBCC. In patients with laBCC, the median age was 70 years (42 to 89 years); 67% were male; 68% were White and 32% were race not reported/unknown; 61% had ECOG PS and 39% had ECOG PS 1; 83% had received at least prior cancer-related surgery; and 50% had received prior radiotherapy. In patients with mBCC, the median age was 63.5 years (38 to 90 years); 70% were male; 87% were White and 13% were race not reported/unknown; 67% had ECOG PS and 33% had ECOG PS 1; 85% had received at least prior cancer-related surgery; and 59% had received prior radiotherapy. Among patients with mBCC, 35% had distant metastases only, 9% had nodal disease only, and 54% had both distant and nodal disease.Efficacy results are presented in Table 11. For the responding patients, the median time to response was 3.1 months (range to 10.5 months) for the mBCC group and 4.3 months (range 2.1 to 21.4 months) for the laBCC group.Table 11:Efficacy Results for Study 1620 in BCCEfficacy EndpointsMedian duration of follow up: mBCC 8.4 months; laBCC 15.9 months Metastatic BCCLocally Advanced BCCN 54N 84CI: confidence interval; NR: not reached; +: denotes ongoing at last assessmentConfirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) (%) ORR (95% CI)22 (12, 36)32 (22, 43) Complete response rate1.97 Partial response rate2025Duration of Response Number of RespondersN 12N 27 Median DOR in monthsBased on Kaplan-Meier estimate (Range)16.7 (9.0 25.8+)NR (2.1 36.8+) Patients with observed DOR >= months, (%)12 (100%)23 (85%). 14.3Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). First-line treatment of NSCLC with LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapyThe efficacy of LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy was evaluated in Study 16113 (NCT03409614), randomized, multi-center, double-blind, active-controlled trial in 466 patients with locally advanced NSCLC who were not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation or with metastatic NSCLC who had not previously received systemic treatment for metastatic NSCLC. Patients were eligible regardless of tumor PD-L1 expression status.Patients with EGFR, ALK or ROS1 genomic tumor aberrations; medical condition that required systemic immunosuppression; or ongoing or recent autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy were ineligible. Patients with history of brain metastases were eligible if they had been adequately treated and had neurologically returned to baseline for at least weeks prior to randomization.Randomization was stratified by histology (non-squamous vs squamous) and PD-L1 expression (<1% versus 1% to 49% versus >= 50%) according to the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) assay. Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive either:LIBTAYO 350 mg intravenously (IV) every weeks for 108 weeks plus platinum-based chemotherapy every weeks for cycles, orplacebo IV every weeks for 108 weeks plus platinum-based chemotherapy every weeks for cycles.Platinum-based chemotherapy in either arm consisted of carboplatin AUC of or and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2; cisplatin 75 mg/m2 and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2; carboplatin AUC of or and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2; or cisplatin 75 mg/m2 and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2. Maintenance pemetrexed was mandatory for patients with non-squamous NSCLC who received pemetrexed-containing chemotherapy regimen in the first treatment cycles.Study treatment continued until RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or 108 weeks. Assessment of tumor status was performed every weeks during year and every 12 weeks after year 1. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). Additional efficacy outcome measures were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).The study population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (range: 25 to 84), 40% age 65 or older; 84% male; 87% White, 13% Asian. Fifteen percent had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) and 84% had ECOG PS 1; 85% had metastatic disease and 15% had stage IIIB or IIIC disease and were not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation per investigator assessment; 57% had non-squamous and 43% had squamous histology; and 7% had history of treated brain metastases at baseline.The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to LIBTAYO in combination with chemotherapy compared with placebo in combination with chemotherapy.Efficacy results are presented in Table 12 and Figure 1.Table 12:Efficacy Results from Study 16113 in Non-Small Cell Lung CancerEndpointsLIBTAYO and Chemotherapy N=312Placebo and Chemotherapy N=154BICR: blinded independent central review; CI: confidence interval; NE: not evaluable; +: ongoing responseOverall SurvivalDeaths, (%)132 (42)82 (53)Median in months (95% CI)Based on Kaplan-Meier method 21.9 (15.5, NE)13.0 (11.9, 16.1)Hazard ratio (95% CI)Based on stratified proportional hazards model 0.71 (0.53, 0.93)p-valueBased on two-sided p-value 0.0140Progression-free Survival per BICREvents, (%)204 (65)122 (79)Median in months (95% CI) 8.2 (6.4, 9.3)5.0 (4.3, 6.2)Hazard ratio (95% CI) 0.56 (0.44, 0.70)p-value <0.0001Overall Response Rate per BICR (%)ORR (95% CI)Clopper-Pearson exact confidence interval 43 (38, 49)23 (16, 30)Complete response (CR) rate2.60Partial response (PR) rate4123 p-value <0.0001Duration of Response per BICRMedian in months (range)15.6 (1.7, 18.7+)7.3 (1.8, 18.8+)Figure 1:Kaplan-Meier Curves for OS from Study 16113.

Figure 1. First-line treatment of NSCLC with LIBTAYO as single agentThe efficacy of LIBTAYO was evaluated in Study 1624 (NCT03088540), randomized, multi-center, open-label, active-controlled trial in 710 patients with locally advanced NSCLC who were not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation, or with metastatic NSCLC.Only patients whose tumors had high PD-L1 expression [Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) >= 50%] as determined by an immunohistochemistry assay using the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx kit and who had not received prior systemic treatment for metastatic NSCLC were eligible.Patients with EGFR, ALK or ROS1 genomic tumor aberrations; medical condition that required systemic immunosuppression; autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy within years of treatment; or who had never smoked were ineligible. Patients with history of brain metastases were eligible if they had been adequately treated and had neurologically returned to baseline for at least weeks prior to randomization.Randomization was stratified by histology (non-squamous vs squamous) and geographic region (Europe vs Asia vs Rest of world). Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive LIBTAYO 350 mg intravenously (IV) every weeks for up to 108 weeks or platinum-doublet chemotherapy regimen for to cycles followed by optional pemetrexed maintenance for patients with non-squamous histology who received pemetrexed containing regimen.Treatment with LIBTAYO continued until RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 108 weeks. Patients who experienced IRC-assessed RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease on LIBTAYO therapy were permitted to continue treatment with LIBTAYO (up to an additional 108 weeks) with the addition of cycles of histology-specific chemotherapy until further progression was observed. Of the 203 patients randomized to receive chemotherapy who had IRC-assessed RECIST 1.1- defined disease progression, 150 (74%) patients crossed over to treatment with LIBTAYO. Assessment of tumor status was performed every weeks. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). An additional efficacy outcome measure was overall response rate (ORR).The study population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (range: 31 to 84), 45% age 65 or older; 85% male; 86% White, 11% Asian, and 0.6% Black. Nine percent were Hispanic or Latino. Twenty-seven percent had ECOG PS and 73% had ECOG PS 1; 84% had metastatic disease and 16% had stage IIIB or IIIC disease and were not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation per investigator assessment; 56% had non-squamous and 44% had squamous histology; and 12% had history of treated brain metastases at baseline.The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in OS and PFS for patients randomized to LIBTAYO as compared with chemotherapy.Efficacy results are presented in Table 13 and Figure 2.Table 13:Efficacy Results from Study 1624 in Non-Small Cell Lung CancerEndpointsLIBTAYO N=356Chemotherapy N=354BICR: blinded independent central review; CI: confidence interval; NE: not evaluable; +: ongoing responseOverall SurvivalNumber of deaths (%)108 (30)141 (40)Median in months (95% CI)Based on Kaplan-Meier method 22.1 (17.7, NE)14.3 (11.7, 19.2)Hazard ratio (95% CI)Based on stratified proportional hazards model 0.68 (0.53, 0.87)p-value0.0022Progression-free Survival per BICRNumber of events (%)201 (57)262 (74)Median in months (95% CI) 6.2 (4.5, 8.3)5.6 (4.5, 6.1)Hazard ratio (95% CI) 0.59 (0.49, 0.72)p-value<0.0001Overall Response Rate per BICR (%)Clopper-Pearson exact confidence interval ORR (95% CI)37 (32, 42)21 (17, 25)Complete response (CR) rate31Partial response (PR) rate3320Duration of Response per BICRMedian in months (range)21.0 (1.9+, 23.3+)6.0 (1.3+, 16.5+)Figure 2:Kaplan-Meier Curve for OS from Study 1624.

CLINICAL TRIALS EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.1Clinical 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 practice.The data described in Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to LIBTAYO as single agent in 1281 patients in three open-label, single-arm, multicohort studies, and two open-label randomized multi-center studies. These studies included 384 patients with advanced CSCC (Studies 1540 and 1423), 138 patients with advanced BCC (Study 1620), 355 patients with NSCLC (Study 1624), and 404 patients with other advanced solid tumors. LIBTAYO was administered intravenously at doses of mg/kg every weeks (n=235), 350 mg every weeks (n=1014), or other doses (n=32). Among the 1281 patients, 53% were exposed for months or longer and 26% were exposed for one year or longer. In this pooled safety population, the most common adverse reactions (>=15%) were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, rash, diarrhea, and anemia. The most common Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities (>=2%) were lymphopenia, anemia, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, increased aspartate aminotransferase, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, and increased alanine aminotransferase.In addition, the data below reflect exposure to LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in 312 patients with NSCLC enrolled in randomized, active controlled trial (Study 16113).. Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC). Study 1540The safety of LIBTAYO was evaluated in 358 patients with advanced CSCC (metastatic or locally advanced disease) in Study 1540 [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Of these 358 patients, 213 had mCSCC (nodal or distant) and 145 had laCSCC. Patients received LIBTAYO mg/kg every weeks (n=137) or 350 mg every weeks (n=221) as an intravenous infusion until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or completion of planned treatment. The median duration of exposure was 40 weeks (1 week to 109 weeks).Serious adverse reactions occurred in 41% of patients. Serious adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2% of patients were pneumonia (3.6%), skin infection (3.6%), and pneumonitis (2.8%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 5% of patients who received LIBTAYO, including deaths due to infections (2.2%).Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 12% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation in at least patients were pneumonitis, rash, confusional state, general physical health deterioration, hemorrhage, liver function test abnormalities, and musculoskeletal pain.Dosage interruptions of LIBTAYO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 36% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >= 2% of patients included diarrhea, infusion-related reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, liver function test abnormalities, musculoskeletal pain, pneumonitis, and rash.The most common (>= 20%) adverse reactions were fatigue, rash, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, pruritus, and nausea. The most common Grade or adverse reactions (>= 2%) were hypertension, skin infection, pneumonia, anemia, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and pneumonitis. The most common (>= 4%) Grade or laboratory abnormalities worsening from baseline were lymphopenia, hyponatremia, anemia, and hypophosphatemia.Table summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in >= 10% of patients and Table summarizes Grade or laboratory abnormalities worsening from baseline in >= 1% of patients receiving LIBTAYO.Table 2:Adverse Reactions in >= 10% of Patients with Advanced CSCC Receiving LIBTAYO in Study 1540Adverse ReactionsLIBTAYO = 358All Grades %Grades 3-4 %Toxicity was graded per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v.4.03General and Administration SiteFatigueFatigue is composite term that includes fatigue and asthenia 382.2Skin and Subcutaneous TissueRashRash is composite term that includes rash, rash maculo-papular, dermatitis, erythema, eczema, dermatitis bullous, rash erythematous, dermatitis acneiform, psoriasis, dermatitis contact, blister, pemphigoid, rash papular, hand dermatitis, skin exfoliation, autoimmune dermatitis, rash pruritic, rash macular, rash pustular, urticaria, dermatitis atopic, drug eruption, eczema asteatotic, skin reaction, dermatitis psoriasiform, eczema nummular, exfoliative rash, and immune-mediated dermatitis 341.7PruritusPruritus is composite term that includes pruritus and pruritus allergic 220.3Actinic keratosis100Musculoskeletal and Connective TissueMusculoskeletal painMusculoskeletal pain is composite term that includes arthralgia, back pain, myalgia, polyarthritis, pain in extremity, neck pain, non-cardiac chest pain, arthritis, musculoskeletal chest pain, musculoskeletal pain, musculoskeletal stiffness, bone pain, immune-mediated arthritis, and spinal pain 332.5GastrointestinalDiarrheaDiarrhea is composite term that includes diarrhea, colitis, and autoimmune colitis 261.1Nausea210Constipation130.3VomitingVomiting is composite term that includes hematemesis and vomiting 110.6Infections and infestationsUpper respiratory tract infectionUpper respiratory tract infection is composite term that includes upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, influenza-like illness, rhinitis, influenza, viral upper respiratory tract infection, respiratory tract infection, influenza virus test positive, and pharyngitis 141.1Skin infectionSkin infection is composite term that includes skin infection, cellulitis, fungal skin infection, and staphylococcal skin infection 114.5RespiratoryCoughCough is composite term that includes cough, productive cough, and upper airway cough syndrome 120Metabolism and NutritionDecreased appetite110.6Nervous system disordersHeadacheHeadache is composite term that includes headache, sinus headache, and migraine 100DizzinessDizziness is composite term that includes dizziness, vertigo, vertigo positional, and dizziness postural 100.3Table 3:Grade or Laboratory Abnormalities Worsening from Baseline in >= 1% of Patients with Advanced CSCC Receiving LIBTAYO in Study 1540Laboratory AbnormalityGrade 3-4 (%)Percentages are based on the number of patients with at least post-baseline value available for that parameter Toxicity graded per NCI CTCAE v. 4.03Hematology Lymphopenia7.0 Anemia4.1Electrolytes Hyponatremia4.9 Hypophosphatemia4.1 Hypercalcemia2.0 Hypokalemia1.5Coagulation Increased INR2.9Chemistry Increased aspartate aminotransferase1.5 Hypoalbuminemia1.2.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)The safety of LIBTAYO was evaluated in 138 patients with advanced BCC (mBCC N=54, laBCC N=84) in an open-label, single-arm trial (Study 1620) [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]. Patients received LIBTAYO 350 mg every weeks as an intravenous infusion for up to 93 weeks or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure was 45 weeks (range: 2.1 weeks to 98 weeks).Serious adverse reactions occurred in 34% of patients. Serious adverse reactions that occurred in 1.5% were diarrhea (3.6%), urinary tract infection (3.6%), pneumonia (2.9%), and hemorrhage (2.2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.3% of patients who received LIBTAYO, including acute kidney injury (0.7%) and cachexia worsening due to colitis (0.7%).Permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 14% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in at least patients were diarrhea, acute kidney injury, general physical health deterioration, and hepatitis.Dosage interruptions of LIBTAYO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 40% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruptions in 2% of patients included diarrhea, acute kidney injury, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, fall, headache, infusion-related reaction, hemorrhage, pneumonitis, upper respiratory tract infection, and urinary tract infection.The most common adverse reactions reported in at least 15% of patients were fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, rash, upper respiratory tract infection, pruritus, hemorrhage, and hypertension.The most common Grade or adverse reactions (> 2%) were hypertension, diarrhea, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, visual impairment, and weight decreased.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). First-line treatment of NSCLC with LIBTAYO in Combination with Platinum-based ChemotherapyThe safety of LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy was evaluated in 465 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in Study 16113 [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. Patients received LIBTAYO 350 mg every weeks plus platinum-based chemotherapy every weeks for cycles (n=312), or placebo every weeks plus platinum-based chemotherapy every weeks for cycles (n=153).Among patients who received LIBTAYO, 70% were exposed for months or longer and 35% were exposed for greater than one year. The safety population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (25 to 82 years), 41% of patients 65 or older, 86% male, 86% White, 14% Asian, 86% had metastatic disease and 14% had locally advanced disease and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of (16%) and (83%).Serious adverse reactions occurred in 25% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2% of patients were pneumonia, anemia, and neutropenia. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients who received LIBTAYO in combination with chemotherapy, including death not otherwise specified (2.9%), sudden death (1.0%), acute hepatitis (0.3%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (0.3%), mesenteric artery thrombosis (0.3%), pneumonia (0.3%), pneumonitis (0.3%), and pulmonary hemorrhage (0.3%). LIBTAYO was permanently discontinued due to adverse reactions in 5% of patients.

LactationAdvise female patients not to breastfeed while taking LIBTAYO and for at least months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2Lactation. Risk SummaryThere is no information regarding the presence of cemiplimab-rwlc in human milk, or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least months after the last dose of LIBTAYO.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1Mechanism of Action. Binding of the PD-1 ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 to the PD-1 receptor found on cells inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors.Cemiplimab-rwlc is recombinant human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to PD-1 and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No studies have been performed to assess the potential of cemiplimab-rwlc for carcinogenicity or genotoxicity.In 3-month repeat-dose toxicology study in sexually mature cynomolgus monkeys, there were no cemiplimab-rwlc-related effects on fertility parameters (menstrual cycle, semen analysis, or testicular measurements) or in male or female reproductive organs at doses up to the highest dose tested, 50 mg/kg/week (approximately 5.5 to 25.5 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 350 mg once every weeks).. 13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. In animal models, inhibition of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. M. tuberculosis-infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-L1 and PD-1 knockout mice and mice receiving PD-L1 blocking antibody have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3Pharmacokinetics. Cemiplimab-rwlc pharmacokinetic data were collected in 1063 patients with various solid tumors. The pharmacokinetics of cemiplimab-rwlc were linear and dose proportional in the dose range of mg/kg to 10 mg/kg LIBTAYO administered intravenously every weeks.At 350 mg every weeks, the mean cemiplimab-rwlc concentrations (coefficient of variation, CV%) at steady-state ranged between minimum concentration of 59 mg/L (47%) and maximum concentration of 171 mg/L (27%). Steady-state exposure is achieved after months of treatment.In patients with CSCC, cemiplimab-rwlc steady-state exposure at 350 mg every weeks was comparable to the exposure at mg/kg every weeks.. DistributionThe volume of distribution of cemiplimab-rwlc at steady state is 5.9 (29%).. EliminationCemiplimab-rwlc clearance (CV%) after the first dose is 0.25 L/day (41%) and decreases over time by 11%, resulting in steady-state clearance (CLss) (CV%) of 0.22 L/day (44%). The elimination half-life (CV%) at steady state is 22 days (42%).. Specific PopulationsThe following factors have no clinically important effect on the exposure of cemiplimab-rwlc in 1063 patients: age (27 to 96 years), sex, body weight (31 to 172 kg), cancer type, albumin level (20 to 93 g/L), renal function (creatinine clearance determined by Cockcroft-Gault 21 mL/min or greater) and hepatic function (total bilirubin greater than 1.0 times up to 3.0 times the ULN). Race [White (N=932), Asian (N=47), Black (N=21)] appears to have no clinically important effect on the exposure of cemiplimab-rwlc. LIBTAYO has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 3.0 times the ULN).

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on its mechanism of action, LIBTAYO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on the use of LIBTAYO in pregnant women. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death (see Data). Human IgG4 immunoglobulins (IgG4) are known to cross the placenta; therefore, LIBTAYO has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to fetus.In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.. Data. Animal DataAnimal reproduction studies have not been conducted with LIBTAYO to evaluate its effect on reproduction and fetal development. central function of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is to preserve pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus. In murine models of pregnancy, blockade of PD-L1 signaling has been shown to disrupt tolerance to the fetus and to result in an increase in fetal loss; therefore, potential risks of administering LIBTAYO during pregnancy include increased rates of abortion or stillbirth. As reported in the literature, there were no malformations related to the blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in the offspring of these animals; however, immune-mediated disorders occurred in PD-1 and PD-L1 knockout mice. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to cemiplimab-rwlc may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2). 8.1Pregnancy. Risk SummaryBased on its mechanism of action, LIBTAYO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on the use of LIBTAYO in pregnant women. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death (see Data). Human IgG4 immunoglobulins (IgG4) are known to cross the placenta; therefore, LIBTAYO has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to fetus.In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.. Data. Animal DataAnimal reproduction studies have not been conducted with LIBTAYO to evaluate its effect on reproduction and fetal development. central function of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is to preserve pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus. In murine models of pregnancy, blockade of PD-L1 signaling has been shown to disrupt tolerance to the fetus and to result in an increase in fetal loss; therefore, potential risks of administering LIBTAYO during pregnancy include increased rates of abortion or stillbirth. As reported in the literature, there were no malformations related to the blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in the offspring of these animals; however, immune-mediated disorders occurred in PD-1 and PD-L1 knockout mice. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to cemiplimab-rwlc may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response.. 8.2Lactation. Risk SummaryThere is no information regarding the presence of cemiplimab-rwlc in human milk, or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least months after the last dose of LIBTAYO.. 8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential. Pregnancy TestingVerify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LIBTAYO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].. ContraceptionLIBTAYO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].. FemalesAdvise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LIBTAYO and for at least months after the last dose.. 8.4Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of LIBTAYO have not been established in pediatric patients.. 8.5Geriatric Use. LIBTAYO as Single AgentOf the 1281 patients who received LIBTAYO as single agent in clinical studies, 26% were 65 years up to 75 years and 22% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.Of the 358 patients with mCSCC or laCSCC who received LIBTAYO as single agent in Study 1540, 30% were 65 years up to 75 years and 48% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.Of the 138 patients with BCC who received LIBTAYO as single agent in Study 1620, 27% were 65 years up to 75 years, and 31% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.. LIBTAYO in Combination with Platinum-based ChemotherapyOf the 312 patients with NSCLC who received LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in Study 16113, 35% were 65 years up to 75 years and 6% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

Withhold or permanently discontinue LIBTAYO based on the severity of reaction. (2.3). Infusion-Related Reactions: Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion, or permanently discontinue based on severity of reaction. (2.3, 5.2). Complications of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT): Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic HSCT before or after being treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. (5.3). Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to fetus and use of effective contraception. (5.4, 8.1, 8.3). 5.1Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions. LIBTAYO is monoclonal antibody that belongs to class of drugs that bind to either the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) or PD-ligand (PD-L1), blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response, potentially breaking peripheral tolerance and inducing immune-mediated adverse reactions. Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under Warnings and Precautions may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions.The incidence and severity of immune-mediated adverse reactions were similar when LIBTAYO was administered as single agent or in combination with chemotherapy.Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. While immune-mediated adverse reactions usually manifest during treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies, immune-mediated adverse reactions can also manifest after discontinuation of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Immune-mediated adverse reactions affecting more than one body system can occur simultaneously.Early identification and management of immune-mediated adverse reactions are essential to ensure safe use of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Monitor closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate.Withhold or permanently discontinue LIBTAYO depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. In general, if LIBTAYO requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 to mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade or less. Upon improvement to Grade or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroids.Toxicity management guidelines for adverse reactions that do not necessarily require systemic steroids (e.g., endocrinopathies and dermatologic reactions) are discussed below.. Immune-Mediated PneumonitisLIBTAYO can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis. The definition of immune-mediated pneumonitis included the required use of systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants and the absence of clear alternate etiology. In patients treated with other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies the incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation.Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 2.6% (33/1281) of patients receiving LIBTAYO, including Grade (0.3%), Grade (0.6%), and Grade (1.6%) adverse reactions. Pneumonitis led to permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in 1.3% of patients and withholding of LIBTAYO in 1.4% of the patients.Systemic corticosteroids were required in all patients with pneumonitis. Pneumonitis resolved in 61% of the 33 patients. Of the 18 patients in whom LIBTAYO was withheld for pneumonitis, 10 reinitiated LIBTAYO after symptom improvement; of these, 4/10 (40%) had recurrence of pneumonitis.. Immune-Mediated ColitisLIBTAYO can cause immune-mediated colitis. The definition of immune-mediated colitis included the required use of systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants and the absence of clear alternate etiology. The primary component of the immune-mediated colitis was diarrhea. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/reactivation has been reported in patients with corticosteroid-refractory immune-mediated colitis treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. In cases of corticosteroid-refractory colitis, consider repeating infectious workup to exclude alternative etiologies.Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 2% (25/1281) of patients receiving LIBTAYO, including Grade (0.8%) and Grade (0.9%) adverse reactions. Colitis led to permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in 0.4% of patients and withholding of LIBTAYO in 1.2% of patients.Systemic corticosteroids were required in all patients with colitis. Colitis resolved in 56% of the 25 patients. Of the 16 patients in whom LIBTAYO was withheld for colitis, reinitiated LIBTAYO after symptom improvement; of these, 4/6 (67%) had recurrence of colitis.. Immune-Mediated HepatitisLIBTAYO can cause immune-mediated hepatitis. The definition of immune-mediated hepatitis included the required use of systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants and the absence of clear alternate etiology.Immune-mediated hepatitis occurred in 2.4% (31/1281) of patients receiving LIBTAYO, including fatal (< 0.1%), Grade (0.3%), Grade (1.6%), and Grade (0.2%) adverse reactions. Hepatitis led to permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in 1.4% of patients and withholding of LIBTAYO in 0.7% of patients.Systemic corticosteroids were required in all patients with hepatitis. Thirteen percent (13%) of these patients (4/31) required additional immunosuppression with mycophenolate. Hepatitis resolved in 39% of the 31 patients. Of the patients in whom LIBTAYO was withheld for hepatitis, patients reinitiated LIBTAYO after symptom improvement; of these, 1/5 (20%) had recurrence of hepatitis.. Immune-Mediated Endocrinopathies. Adrenal InsufficiencyLIBTAYO can cause primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency. For Grade or higher adrenal insufficiency, initiate symptomatic treatment, including hormone replacement as clinically indicated. Withhold LIBTAYO depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].Adrenal insufficiency occurred in 0.5% (6/1281) of patients receiving LIBTAYO, including Grade (0.5%) adverse reactions. Adrenal insufficiency led to permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in (< 0.1%) patient. LIBTAYO was withheld in (< 0.1%) patient due to adrenal insufficiency and not reinitiated. Systemic corticosteroids were required in 83% (5/6) patients with adrenal insufficiency; of these, the majority remained on systemic corticosteroids. Adrenal insufficiency resolved in 17% of the patients.. HypophysitisLIBTAYO can cause immune-mediated hypophysitis. Hypophysitis can present with acute symptoms associated with mass effect such as headache, photophobia, or visual field defects. Hypophysitis can cause hypopituitarism.

Hyperthyroidism led to withholding of LIBTAYO in (0.5%) patients.Systemic corticosteroids were required in 8% (3/39) of patients with hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism resolved in 56% of the 39 patients. Of the patients in whom LIBTAYO was withheld for hyperthyroidism, patients reinitiated LIBTAYO after symptom improvement; of these, none had recurrence of hyperthyroidism.. Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism occurred in 7% (87/1281) of patients receiving LIBTAYO, including Grade (< 0.1%) and Grade (6%) adverse reactions. Hypothyroidism led to permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in (0.2%) patients. Hypothyroidism led to withholding of LIBTAYO in (0.7%) patients.Systemic corticosteroids were required in 1.1% (1/87) of patients. Hypothyroidism resolved in 6% of the 87 patients. The majority of patients with hypothyroidism required long-term thyroid hormone replacement. Of the patients in whom LIBTAYO was withheld for hypothyroidism, reinitiated LIBTAYO after symptom improvement and did not have recurrence of hypothyroidism.Type Diabetes Mellitus, which can present with diabetic ketoacidosisMonitor patients for hyperglycemia or other signs and symptoms of diabetes. Initiate treatment with insulin as clinically indicated. Withhold LIBTAYO depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].Type diabetes mellitus occurred in 0.1% (1/1281) of patients (Grade 4). No patient discontinued treatment due to type diabetes mellitus. Type diabetes mellitus led to withholding of LIBTAYO in 0.1% of patients, treatment was reinitiated after symptom improvement. Patient received long-term insulin therapy.. Immune-Mediated Nephritis with Renal DysfunctionLIBTAYO can cause immune-mediated nephritis. The definition of immune-mediated nephritis included the required use of systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants and the absence of clear alternate etiology.Immune-mediated nephritis occurred in 0.7% (9/1281) patients receiving LIBTAYO, including fatal (< 0.1%), Grade (< 0.1%) and Grade (0.5%) adverse reactions. Nephritis led to permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in 0.2% of patients and withholding of LIBTAYO in 0.4% of patients.Systemic corticosteroids were required in all patients with nephritis. Nephritis resolved in 78% of the patients. Of the patients in whom LIBTAYO was withheld for nephritis, reinitiated LIBTAYO after symptom improvement; of these, 1/4 (25%) had recurrence of nephritis.. Immune-Mediated Dermatologic Adverse ReactionsLIBTAYO can cause immune-mediated rash or dermatitis. The definition of immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reaction included the required use of systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants and the absence of clear alternate etiology. Exfoliative dermatitis, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms), has occurred with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Topical emollients and/or topical corticosteroids may be adequate to treat mild to moderate non-exfoliative rashes. Withhold or permanently discontinue LIBTAYO depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].Immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions occurred in 1.9% (24/1281) of patients receiving LIBTAYO, including Grade (0.9%) and Grade (0.8%) adverse reactions. Dermatologic adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of LIBTAYO in 0.2% of patients and withholding of LIBTAYO in 1.3% of patients.Systemic corticosteroids were required in all patients with immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions. Immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions resolved in 71% of the 24 patients. Of the 17 patients in whom LIBTAYO was withheld for dermatologic adverse reaction, 13 reinitiated LIBTAYO after symptom improvement; of these 5/13 (38%) had recurrence of the dermatologic adverse reaction.. Other Immune-Mediated Adverse ReactionsThe following clinically significant immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of 1% in 1281 patients who received LIBTAYO or were reported with the use of other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. Severe or fatal cases have been reported for some of these adverse reactions.. Cardiac/Vascular: Myocarditis, pericarditis, vasculitis. Nervous System: Meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis and demyelination, myasthenic syndrome/myasthenia gravis (including exacerbation), Guillain-Barre syndrome, nerve paresis, autoimmune neuropathy. Ocular: Uveitis, iritis, and other ocular inflammatory toxicities. Some cases can be associated with retinal detachment. Various grades of visual impairment to include blindness can occur. If uveitis occurs in combination with other immune-mediated adverse reactions, consider Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada like syndrome, as this may require treatment with systemic steroids to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss. Gastrointestinal: Pancreatitis to include increases in serum amylase and lipase levels, gastritis, duodenitis, stomatitis. Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue: Myositis/polymyositis/dermatomyositis, rhabdomyolysis and associated sequelae including renal failure, arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica. Endocrine: Hypoparathyroidism. Other (Hematologic/Immune): Hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi lymphadenitis), sarcoidosis, immune thrombocytopenia, solid organ transplant rejection, other transplant (including corneal graft) rejection. 5.2Infusion-Related Reactions. Severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions occurred in 0.2% of patients receiving LIBTAYO as single agent. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Common symptoms of infusion-related reaction include nausea, pyrexia, and vomiting. Interrupt or slow the rate of infusion or permanently discontinue LIBTAYO based on severity of reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.3Complications of Allogeneic HSCT. Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT.Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT.. 5.4Embryo-Fetal Toxicity. Based on its mechanism of action, LIBTAYO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death. Advise women of the potential risk to fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LIBTAYO and for at least months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
