ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.


6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. The following serious adverse drug reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:Capillary Leak Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Capillary Leak Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Most common adverse reactions (incidence >= 30%) are capillary leak syndrome, nausea, fatigue, peripheral edema, pyrexia and weight increase. Most common laboratory abnormalities (incidence >= 50%) are decreases in albumin, platelets, hemoglobin,calcium, and sodium, and increases in glucose, ALT and AST. (6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. at 877-332-7961 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 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 practice.Safety of ELZONRIS was assessed in single-arm clinical trial that included 94 adults with newly-diagnosed or relapsed/refractory myeloid malignancies, including 58 with BPDCN, treated with ELZONRIS 12 mcg/kg daily for days of 21-day cycle. The overall median number of cycles administered was (range, 1-43), and in patients with BPDCN (range, 1-43).Two (2%) patients had fatal adverse reaction, both capillary leak syndrome. Overall, 10 (11%) patients discontinued treatment with ELZONRIS due to an adverse reaction; the most common adverse reactions resulting in treatment discontinuation were hepatic toxicities and CLS.Table summarizes the common (>= 10%) adverse reactions with ELZONRIS in patients with myeloid malignancies. The rate of any given adverse reaction or lab abnormality was derived from all the reported events of that type.Table 3. Adverse Reactions in >= 10% of Patients Receiving 12 mcg/kg of ELZONRIS1 Capillary leak syndrome defined as any event reported as CLS during treatment with ELZONRIS or the occurrence of at least of the following CLS manifestations within days of each other: hypoalbuminemia (including albumin value less than 3.0 g/dL), edema (including weight increase of kg or more), hypotension (including systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg).N=94All Grades%Grade >= 3%Vascular disorders Capillary leak syndrome1 559 Hypotension299 Hypertension156Gastrointestinal disorders Nausea490 Constipation230 Vomiting210 Diarrhea200General disorders and administration site conditions Fatigue457 Peripheral edema 431 Pyrexia430 Chills291Investigations Weight increase310Nervous system disorders Headache290 Dizziness200Metabolism and nutrition disorders Decreased appetite240Blood and lymphatic system disorders Febrile neutropenia2018Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders Back pain202 Pain in extremity102Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders Dyspnea192 Cough140 Epistaxis141 Oropharyngeal pain120Psychiatric disorders Insomnia170 Anxiety150 Confusional state110Cardiac disorders Tachycardia170Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Petechiae100 Pruritus100Renal and urinary disorders Hematuria100Table summarizes the clinically-important laboratory abnormalities that occurred in >= 10% patients with myeloid malignancies treated with ELZONRIS.

As with all therapeutic proteins, there is 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 ELZONRIS with the incidences of antibodies to other products may be misleading.Immune response to ELZONRIS was evaluated by assessment of serum binding reactivity against ELZONRIS (anti-drug antibodies; ADA) and neutralizing antibodies by inhibition of functional activity. Immune response to ELZONRIS was assessed using two immunoassays. The first assay detected reactivity directed against ELZONRIS (ADA), and the second assay detected reactivity against the interleukin-3 (IL-3) portion of ELZONRIS. Two cell-based assays were used to investigate the presence of neutralizing antibodies by inhibition of cell-based functional activity.The presence of ADA had clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of tagraxofusp-erzs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. In 130 patients treated with ELZONRIS in clinical trials: 96% (115/120) of patients evaluable for the presence of pre-existing ADA at baseline before treatment were confirmed positive with 21% being positive for the presence of neutralizing antibodies. The high prevalence of ADA at baseline was anticipated due to diphtheria immunization.99% (107/108) of patients evaluable for treatment-emergent ADA tested positive with most patients showing an increase in ADA titer by the end of Cycle of ELZONRIS.85% (86/101) of ADA-positive patients evaluable for the presence of neutralizing antibodies were neutralizing antibody-positive.68% (73/108) of patients evaluable for treatment-emergent anti-IL-3 antibodies tested positive with most patients testing positive by Cycle of ELZONRIS.. 96% (115/120) of patients evaluable for the presence of pre-existing ADA at baseline before treatment were confirmed positive with 21% being positive for the presence of neutralizing antibodies. The high prevalence of ADA at baseline was anticipated due to diphtheria immunization.. 99% (107/108) of patients evaluable for treatment-emergent ADA tested positive with most patients showing an increase in ADA titer by the end of Cycle of ELZONRIS.. 85% (86/101) of ADA-positive patients evaluable for the presence of neutralizing antibodies were neutralizing antibody-positive.. 68% (73/108) of patients evaluable for treatment-emergent anti-IL-3 antibodies tested positive with most patients testing positive by Cycle of ELZONRIS.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology. At human equivalent doses greater than or equal to 1.6 times the recommended dose based on body surface area, severe kidney tubular degeneration/necrosis was observed in cynomolgus monkeys. At human equivalent doses equal to the recommended dose, degeneration/necrosis of the choroid plexus in the brain was observed in cynomolgus monkeys.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of ELZONRIS for treatment of BPDCN have been established in pediatric patients years of age and older (no data for pediatric patients less than years of age). Use of ELZONRIS in these age groups is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study of ELZONRIS in adults with BPDCN and additional safety data from three pediatric patients with BPDCN, including child (2 years to 12 years old) and adolescents (12 years to 17 years old), treated with ELZONRIS at the recommended dosage. The safety profile of ELZONRIS in the pediatric patients was similar to that seen in the adults. Efficacy for pediatric patients is extrapolated from the results of STML-401-0114 [see Clinical Studies 14.1, 14.2].

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacokinetics. Following administration of tagraxofusp-erzs 12 mcg/kg via 15-minute infusion in patients with BPDCN, the mean (SD) area under the plasma drug concentration over time curve (AUC) was 231 (123) hr.mcg/L and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 162 (58.1) mcg/L.DistributionMean (SD) volume of distribution of tagraxofusp-erzs is 5.1 (1.9) in patients with BPDCN.EliminationMean (SD) clearance is 7.1 (7.2) L/hr in patients with BPDCN. Mean (SD) terminal half-life of tagraxofusp-erzs is 0.7 (0.3) hours.Anti-Product Antibody Formation Affecting PharmacokineticsPharmacokinetic data obtained following doses given in Cycle showed increased titers of anti-drug antibodies and reduced free ELZONRIS concentration in most plasma samples. Following administration of tagraxofusp-erzs 12 mcg/kg via 15-minute infusion in patients with pre-existing anti-drug antibodies, the mean (SD) volume of distribution of tagraxofusp-erzs is 21.2 (25.4) L, clearance is 13.9 (19.4) L/hr, AUC is 151 (89.2) hr.mcg/L and Cmax is 80.0 (82.2) mcg/L.Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of tagraxofusp-erzs were observed based on age (22 to 84 years), sex, mild to moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2, estimated by MDRD), mild (total bilirubin <= ULN and AST >ULN, or total bilirubin to 1.5 times ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment or body weight after adjusting dose by body weight. The effect of severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2), or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) on tagraxofusp-erzs pharmacokinetics is unknown.Drug Interaction StudiesNo drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with ELZONRIS.
