Among 233 patients who received ZIIHERA, 39% were exposed for months or longer, and 17% were exposed for greater than one year.Biliary Tract CancerThe safety of ZIIHERA was evaluated in 80 patients with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive biliary tract cancer who received at least one prior gemcitabine-containing chemotherapy regimen in HERIZON-BTC-01 [See Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received ZIIHERA 20 mg/kg by IV infusion once every weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure to ZIIHERA was 5.6 months (range: 0.5 to 27.2 months).Serious adverse reactions occurred in 53% of patients who received ZIIHERA. Serious adverse reactions in 2% of patients included biliary obstruction (15%), biliary tract infection (8%), sepsis (8%), pneumonia (5%), diarrhea (3.8%), gastric obstruction (3.8%), and fatigue (2.5%). fatal adverse reaction of hepatic failure occurred in one patient who received ZIIHERA.Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.5% of patients who received ZIIHERA. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation in >= 1% of patients who received ZIIHERA included decreased ejection fraction and pneumonitis.Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction, excluding temporary interruptions of ZIIHERA infusions due to infusion-related reactions, occurred in 41% of patients who received ZIIHERA. The most frequent adverse reactions (> 2% of patients) that required dosage interruption were diarrhea, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, decreased ejection fraction, pneumonia, cholangitis, fatigue, biliary obstruction, abdominal pain, increased blood creatinine, and decreased potassium.Dosage reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4% of patients who received ZIIHERA. Adverse reactions requiring dosage reductions in 1% of patients were diarrhea, nausea, and decreased weight.The most common adverse reactions in patients receiving ZIIHERA (>= 20%) were diarrhea, infusion-related reaction, abdominal pain, and fatigue.Table summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in HERIZON-BTC-01.Table 3: Adverse Reactions (>= 15%) in Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic HER2-Positive BTC Receiving ZIIHERA in HERIZON-BTC-01Adverse ReactionZIIHERAN=80All Grades(%)Grades or 4(%)Gastrointestinal disordersDiarrheaa 5010Abdominal painb 291Nausea181Vomiting151Injury, poisoning and procedural complicationsInfusion-related reaction351General disorders and administration site conditionsFatiguec 244Skin and subcutaneous tissue disordersRashd 190Metabolism and nutrition disordersDecreased appetite160 Graded per CTCAE version 5.a Diarrhea includes diarrhea and enteritisb Abdominal pain includes abdominal pain and abdominal pain upperc Fatigue includes asthenia and fatigue Rash includes dermatitis, dermatitis acneiform, palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome, rash, rash maculo-papular, and rash pustularTable summarizes the laboratory abnormalities in HERIZON-BTC-01.Table 4: Laboratory Abnormalities (>= 30%) that Worsened from Baseline in Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic HER2-Positive BTC Receiving ZIIHERA in HERIZON-BTC-01Laboratory AbnormalitiesZIIHERAAll Grades(%)Grades or 4(%)Hematology Hemoglobin decreased8814 Lymphocytes decreased448Chemistry Lactate dehydrogenase increased550 Albumin decreased530 Aspartate aminotransferase increased4710 Alanine aminotransferase increased468 Alkaline phosphatase increased415 Sodium decreased3510 Potassium decreased345The denominator used to calculate the rate varied from 78 to 80 based on the number of patients with baseline value and at least one post-treatment value..

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Zanidatamab-hrii is bispecific HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Binding of zanidatamab-hrii with HER2 results in internalization leading to reduction of the receptor on the tumor cell surface. Zanidatamab-hrii induces complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). These mechanisms result in tumor growth inhibition and cell death in vitro and in vivo.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Zanidatamab-hrii exposure-response relationships and the time course of the pharmacodynamic response are unknown.Cardiac ElectrophysiologyA mean increase in the QTc interval 20 ms was not observed at the recommended approved dosage.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Zanidatamab-hrii PK parameters are presented as means (percent coefficient of variation) following administration of ZIIHERA 20 mg/kg every weeks after the 7th or later dose unless otherwise indicated.Zanidatamab-hrii maximum concentration (Cmax) is 600 (22.2) ug/mL, the lowest measured concentration (Ctrough) is 178 (29.6) ug/mL, and total systemic exposure (AUC0-336h) is 3,976 (22.5) daysug/mL following administration of ZIIHERA. The Cmax of zanidatamab-hrii is dose proportional and the total systemic exposure (AUC0-inf) of zanidatamab-hrii is greater than dose proportional with increasing doses. The mean Ctrough accumulation ratio of zanidatamab-hrii is approximately 2.4.DistributionThe volume of distribution of zanidatamab-hrii is approximately 7.5 (33) based on the population pharmacokinetic analysis.EliminationThe estimated half-life (t1/2) of zanidatamab-hrii is approximately 21 days with an associated clearance (CL) of 0.012 L/h (27.9) based on the population pharmacokinetic analysis.MetabolismZanidatamab-hrii is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of zanidatamab-hrii were observed based on age (24 to 88 years), sex, race (White and Asian), mild and moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min estimated using the CKD-EPI), mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST ULN or total bilirubin between and 1.5 times ULN and any AST), or body weight (35 kg to 128 kg).The effect of severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min), end-stage renal disease (eGFR 15 mL/min) with or without hemodialysis, and moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to <= ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin 3 ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of zanidatamab-hrii is unknown.. 12.6 Immunogenicity There is insufficient information to characterize the anti-drug antibody response to zanidatamab-hrii and the effects of anti-drug antibodies on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, or effectiveness of zanidatamab-hrii.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES HER2-positive (IHC 3+) Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC)The efficacy of ZIIHERA was evaluated in 62 patients with HER2-positive (IHC 3+ by central assessment) BTC in Cohort of HERIZON-BTC-01 (NCT04466891), an open-label, multicenter, single arm trial in patients with unresectable or metastatic disease. Patients were required to have received at least one prior gemcitabine-containing systemic chemotherapy regimen in the advanced disease setting and adequate cardiac function (defined as LVEF >= 50%).Patients received ZIIHERA 20 mg/kg intravenously every weeks. ZIIHERA was administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as determined by an independent central review (ICR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.The median age was 64 years (range: 38 to 79 years), 47% of patients were age 65 or older; 55% were female; 61% were Asian, 31% were White, 2% were American Indian or Alaskan Native and for 6% race was unknown or not reported; 89% were Non-Hispanic or Latino, 8% Hispanic/Latino, and for 3% ethnicity was unknown or not reported. All patients had baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of (32%) or (68%). Fifty-three percent of patients had gallbladder cancer, 27% had intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and 19% had extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. All patients received at least prior line of gemcitabine-based therapy, 31% had prior lines of therapy, and 10% had or more prior lines of therapy for unresectable or metastatic disease.Efficacy results are summarized in Table 5.Table Efficacy Results in HERIZON-BTC-01Efficacy ParameterZIIHERA(N=62)Objective Response Rate (95% CI)52% (39, 65) Complete response, (%)2 (3.2) Partial response, (%)30 (48)Duration of Response (DOR)N=32 Median+, months (95% CI)14.9 (7.4, NE) DOR >= months, (%) (19 59) DOR >= 12 months, (%) 14 (44)Assessed by independent central review+ Based on Kaplan-Meier estimate Based on observed duration of responseNE not estimable.

LACTATION SECTION.
8.2 Lactation Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of zanidatamab-hrii in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Published data suggest human IgG is present in human milk but does not enter neonatal or infant circulation in substantial amounts. Consider developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mothers clinical need for ZIIHERA treatment and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from ZIIHERA or from the underlying maternal condition. This consideration should also take into account the ZIIHERA half-life of approximately 21 days and washout period of months [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.
12.1 Mechanism of Action Zanidatamab-hrii is bispecific HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Binding of zanidatamab-hrii with HER2 results in internalization leading to reduction of the receptor on the tumor cell surface. Zanidatamab-hrii induces complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). These mechanisms result in tumor growth inhibition and cell death in vitro and in vivo.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics Zanidatamab-hrii PK parameters are presented as means (percent coefficient of variation) following administration of ZIIHERA 20 mg/kg every weeks after the 7th or later dose unless otherwise indicated.Zanidatamab-hrii maximum concentration (Cmax) is 600 (22.2) ug/mL, the lowest measured concentration (Ctrough) is 178 (29.6) ug/mL, and total systemic exposure (AUC0-336h) is 3,976 (22.5) daysug/mL following administration of ZIIHERA. The Cmax of zanidatamab-hrii is dose proportional and the total systemic exposure (AUC0-inf) of zanidatamab-hrii is greater than dose proportional with increasing doses. The mean Ctrough accumulation ratio of zanidatamab-hrii is approximately 2.4.DistributionThe volume of distribution of zanidatamab-hrii is approximately 7.5 (33) based on the population pharmacokinetic analysis.EliminationThe estimated half-life (t1/2) of zanidatamab-hrii is approximately 21 days with an associated clearance (CL) of 0.012 L/h (27.9) based on the population pharmacokinetic analysis.MetabolismZanidatamab-hrii is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of zanidatamab-hrii were observed based on age (24 to 88 years), sex, race (White and Asian), mild and moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min estimated using the CKD-EPI), mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <= upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST ULN or total bilirubin between and 1.5 times ULN and any AST), or body weight (35 kg to 128 kg).The effect of severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min), end-stage renal disease (eGFR 15 mL/min) with or without hemodialysis, and moderate (total bilirubin 1.5 to <= ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin 3 ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of zanidatamab-hrii is unknown.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryBased on mechanism of action, ZIIHERA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no human or animal data on the use of ZIIHERA in pregnancy. In literature reports, use of HER2-directed antibody during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. Use of ZIIHERA is not recommended during pregnancy (see CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS). Advise patients of potential risks to fetus.The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.Clinical ConsiderationsFetal/Neonatal Adverse ReactionsMonitor women who received ZIIHERA during pregnancy or within months prior to conception for oligohydramnios. If oligohydramnios occurs, perform fetal testing that is appropriate for gestational age and consistent with local standard of care.

(2.4, 5.4). 5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on the mechanism of action, ZIIHERA can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. There are no human or animal data on the use of ZIIHERA in pregnancy. In literature reports, use of HER2-directed antibody during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death.Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of ZIIHERA. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential that exposure to ZIIHERA during pregnancy or within months prior to conception can result in fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception while receiving ZIIHERA and for months following the last dose of ZIIHERA.. 5.2 Left Ventricular Dysfunction ZIIHERA can cause decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). LVEF declined by greater than 10% and decreased to less than 50% in 4.3% of 233 patients. LVD leading to permanent discontinuation of ZIIHERA was reported in 0.9% of patients. The median time to first occurrence of left ventricular dysfunction was 5.6 months (range: 1.6 to 18.7 months). Left ventricular dysfunction resolved in 70% of patients.Assess LVEF prior to initiation of ZIIHERA and at regular intervals during treatment. Withhold dose or permanently discontinue ZIIHERA based on severity of adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].The safety of ZIIHERA has not been established in patients with baseline ejection fraction that is below 50% [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.3 Infusion-Related Reactions ZIIHERA can cause infusion-related reactions (IRRs). An IRR was reported in 31% of 233 patients treated with ZIIHERA as single agent in clinical studies, including Grade (0.4%), and Grade (25%). IRRs leading to permanent discontinuation of ZIIHERA were reported in 0.4% of patients. IRRs occurred on the first day of dosing in 28% of patients; 97% of IRRs resolved within one day.Prior to each dose of ZIIHERA, administer premedications to prevent potential IRRs [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of IRR during ZIIHERA administration and as clinically indicated after completion of infusion. Have medications and emergency equipment to treat IRRs available for immediate use.If an IRR occurs, slow, or stop the infusion, and administer appropriate medical management. Monitor patients until complete resolution of signs and symptoms before resuming. Permanently discontinue ZIIHERA in patients with recurrent severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.4 Diarrhea ZIIHERA can cause severe diarrhea [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].Diarrhea was reported in 48% of 233 patients treated in clinical studies, including Grade (6%) and Grade (17%). If diarrhea occurs, administer antidiarrheal treatment as clinically indicated. Perform diagnostic tests as clinically indicated to exclude other causes of diarrhea. Withhold or permanently discontinue ZIIHERA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
