WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS oHypersensitivity reactions including serious anaphylaxis reactions and serious and fatal infusion-related reactions have occurred. Monitor patients during and for at least hours after infusion with VYLOY. Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion or permanently discontinue VYLOY based on severity and type of reaction. Premedicate with antihistamines for subsequent infusions after hypersensitivity reaction. (2.4, 5.1)oSevere nausea and vomiting: Premedicate patients with antiemetics prior to each infusion. Interrupt or permanently discontinue VYLOY based on the severity of the nausea and/or vomiting. Manage patients during and after infusion with antiemetics or fluid replacement. (2.4, 5.2). oHypersensitivity reactions including serious anaphylaxis reactions and serious and fatal infusion-related reactions have occurred. Monitor patients during and for at least hours after infusion with VYLOY. Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion or permanently discontinue VYLOY based on severity and type of reaction. Premedicate with antihistamines for subsequent infusions after hypersensitivity reaction. (2.4, 5.1). oSevere nausea and vomiting: Premedicate patients with antiemetics prior to each infusion. Interrupt or permanently discontinue VYLOY based on the severity of the nausea and/or vomiting. Manage patients during and after infusion with antiemetics or fluid replacement. (2.4, 5.2). 5.1 Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis reactions, and infusion related reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including serious anaphylaxis reactions, and serious and fatal infusion-related reactions (IRR) have been reported in clinical studies when VYLOY has been administered. Any grade hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions, occurring with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX was 18%. Severe (Grade or 4) hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions, occurred in 2% of patients. Seven patients (1.3%) permanently discontinued VYLOY for hypersensitivity reactions, including two patients (0.4%) who permanently discontinued VYLOY due to anaphylactic reactions. Seventeen (3.2%) patients required dose interruption, and three patients (0.6%) required infusion rate reduction due to hypersensitivity reactions.All grade IRRs occurred in 3.2% in patients administered VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX. Severe (Grade 3) IRRs occurred in (0.4%) patients who received VYLOY. An IRR led to permanent discontinuation of VYLOY in (0.4%) patients and dose interruption in (1.3%) patients. The infusion rate was reduced for VYLOY for (0.4%) patients due to an IRR. Monitor patients during infusion with VYLOY and for hours after completion of infusion or longer if clinically indicated, for hypersensitivity reactions with symptoms and signs that are highly suggestive of anaphylaxis (urticaria, repetitive cough, wheeze and throat tightness/change in voice). Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of IRRs including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, salivary hypersecretion, pyrexia, chest discomfort, chills, back pain, cough and hypertension.If severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity or IRR reaction occurs, discontinue VYLOY permanently, treat symptoms according to standard medical care, and monitor until symptoms resolve. For any Grade hypersensitivity or IRR, interrupt the VYLOY infusion until Grade <=1, then resume at reduced infusion rate for the remaining infusion. Premedicate the patient with antihistamines for the subsequent infusions, administer per the infusion rates in Table and closely monitor the patient for symptoms and signs of hypersensitivity reaction. The infusion rate may be gradually increased as tolerated [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].. 5.2 Severe Nausea and Vomiting VYLOY is emetogenic. Nausea and vomiting occurred more often during the first cycle of treatment. All grade nausea and vomiting occurred in 82% and 67%, respectively, of patients treated with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 and 69% and 66% in combination with CAPOX, respectively. Severe (Grade 3) nausea occurred in 16% and 9% of patients treated with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX respectively. Severe (Grade 3) vomiting occurred in 16% and 12% of patients treated with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX. Nausea led to permanent discontinuation of VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX in 18 (3.4%) patients and dose interruption in 147 (28%) patients. Vomiting led to permanent discontinuation of VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX in 20 (3.8%) patients and dose interruption in 150 (28%) patients. Pretreat with antiemetics prior to each infusion of VYLOY [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. Manage patients during and after infusion with antiemetics or fluid replacement.Interrupt the infusion, or permanently discontinue VYLOY based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryThere are no data with VYLOY use in pregnant women to inform any drug-associated risks. Embryo-fetal toxicity was not observed in pregnant mice intravenously administered zolbetuximab-clzb [see Data]. VYLOY should only be given to pregnant woman if the benefit outweighs the potential risk.The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataIn an embryo-fetal development toxicity study, zolbetuximab-clzb was intravenously administered to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis and did not result in embryo-fetal toxicity at doses up to 300 mg/kg (approximately 1.9 times the recommended clinical dose based on AUC). Zolbetuximab-clzb crossed the placental barrier resulting in higher fetal serum concentrations on Day 18 of gestation than maternal serum concentrations on Day 16 of gestation. 8.2 Lactation Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of zolbetuximab-clzb in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because antibodies may be excreted in human milk and because of the potential for adverse reactions in breastfed child, advise lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with VYLOY and for months after the last dose.. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential VYLOY is used in combination with fluoropyrimidine- or platinum-containing chemotherapy. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy products for pregnancy testing, contraception, and infertility information. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of VYLOY in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 533 patients in clinical studies of VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX, 34% (n=179) were over 65 years, and 5% were over 75 years (n=28) [see Clinical Studies (14)]. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients aged 65 years or older and younger patients.

IMMUNOGENICITY.
12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incidence of ADA in other studies, including those of VYLOY or of other zolbetuximab products.During the approximately 30-month period of treatment with VYLOY 800/600 mg/m2 every weeks in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX in the clinical studies SPOTLIGHT and GLOW, the incidence of anti-zolbetuximab-clzb antibody formation was 9.5% (46 of 485 ADA-evaluable patients). Because of the low occurrence of ADAs, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, safety and/or effectiveness of VYLOY is unknown.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Zolbetuximab-clzb is claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-directed cytolytic antibody that depletes CLDN18.2-positive cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Zolbetuximab-clzb in combination with chemotherapy had increased antitumor activity in CLDN18.2-expressing mouse tumor models compared to zolbetuximab-clzb or chemotherapy alone.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationships for efficacy and safety at the recommended dosages of zolbetuximab-clzb in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose tumors are CLDN18.2 positive have not been fully characterized.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following 2-hour intravenous infusion, zolbetuximab-clzb exhibited dose-proportional pharmacokinetics at doses ranging from 33 mg/m2 to 1000 mg/m2 (0.04 times to 1.25 times the recommended first dose). When administered at first dose of 800 mg/m2 followed by subsequent doses of 600 mg/m2 every weeks, steady state was achieved by 18 weeks with geometric mean (coefficient of variation [CV]%) Cmax of 415 (22%) mcg/mL and AUCtau of 3149 (37%) dayomcg/mL. Distribution The estimated geometric mean (CV%) of the steady state volume of distribution of zolbetuximab-clzb was 14.0 (59%) L.MetabolismZolbetuximab-clzb is expected to be catabolized into small peptides and amino acids.Elimination The estimated geometric mean (CV%) of the clearance (CL) and t1/2 of zolbetuximab-clzb was 0.013 (44%) L/h and 41 (62%) days, respectively. Specific PopulationsThe following factors had no clinically important effect on the clearance of zolbetuximab-clzb: age (range: 22 to 83 years), sex, race including White (50%), Asian (42%), Black (0.8%), mild to moderate (CLcr >=30 to <90 mL/min) renal impairment and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin (TB) <=upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST >ULN, or TB >1 to 1.5 ULN and any AST). The effect of severe renal impairment, and moderate to severe hepatic impairment is unknown.. 12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incidence of ADA in other studies, including those of VYLOY or of other zolbetuximab products.During the approximately 30-month period of treatment with VYLOY 800/600 mg/m2 every weeks in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX in the clinical studies SPOTLIGHT and GLOW, the incidence of anti-zolbetuximab-clzb antibody formation was 9.5% (46 of 485 ADA-evaluable patients). Because of the low occurrence of ADAs, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, safety and/or effectiveness of VYLOY is unknown.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES SPOTLIGHT The efficacy of VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 was evaluated in SPOTLIGHT (NCT03504397), double-blind, randomized, multicenter study that enrolled 565 patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors were CLDN18.2 positive. CLDN18.2 positivity (defined as >=75% of tumor cells demonstrating moderate to strong membranous CLDN18 staining) was determined by immunohistochemistry on gastric or GEJ tumor tissue specimens from all patients with the VENTANA CLDN18 (43-14A) RxDx Assay performed in central laboratory. Patients were excluded from the study if they had complete or partial gastric outlet syndrome, or history of central nervous system metastases.Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 (n=283) or placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6 (n=282). VYLOY was administered intravenously at an initial dose of 800 mg/m2 (Day of cycle 1) followed by subsequent doses of 600 mg/m2 every weeks in combination with up to 12 treatments (4 cycles) of mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, folinic acid (leucovorin or local equivalent) 400 mg/m2, fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 given as bolus and fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 given as continuous infusion) administered on Days 1, 15 and 29 of 42-day cycle. After 12 treatments, patients were allowed to continue treatment with VYLOY, 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid (leucovorin or local equivalent) at the discretion of the investigator, until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity.Treatment with VYLOY continued until RECIST v1.1-defined progression of disease as determined by an independent review committee (IRC) or subsequent anticancer treatment was initiated. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks up to and including Week 54, then every 12 weeks thereafter.The major efficacy outcome measure was progression free survival (PFS) as assessed per RECIST v1.1 by IRC. Additional efficacy outcome measures were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as assessed per RECIST v1.1 by IRC. The study population characteristics were median age of 61 (range: 20-86); 62% were male; 48% were White, 34% Asian, 3.0% American Indian or Alaska, 1.2% Black or African American, 4.1% other racial groups, and race in 9% was unknown or missing; 78% non-Hispanic or Latino, 13% Hispanic or Latino, and ethnicity in 10% was missing; 98% had ECOG performance status (PS) of or 1; 76% had gastric cancer, 24% had GEJ cancer; 84% were metastatic, 16% were locally advanced; and 29% had undergone prior gastrectomy. Subsequent anticancer therapy was received by 135 (48%) patients in the VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 arm and 148 (53%) patients in the placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6 arm.VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in PFS and OS compared with placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6.Table 7, Figures and summarize the efficacy results for the SPOTLIGHT study.Table 7.

CLDN18.2 positivity (defined as >=75% of tumor cells demonstrating moderate to strong membranous CLDN18 staining) was determined by immunohistochemistry on gastric or GEJ tumor tissue specimens from all patients with the VENTANA CLDN18 (43-14A) RxDx Assay performed in central laboratory. Patients were excluded from the study if they had complete or partial gastric outlet syndrome, or history of central nervous system metastases. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive VYLOY in combination with CAPOX (n=254) or placebo in combination with CAPOX (n=253). VYLOY was administered intravenously at an initial dose of 800 mg/m2 (Day of cycle 1) followed by subsequent dose of 600 mg/m2 every weeks in combination with up to treatments (8 cycles) of CAPOX administered on Day (oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2) and on Days to 14 (capecitabine 1000 mg/m2) of 21-day cycle. After treatments of oxaliplatin, patients were allowed to continue treatment of VYLOY and capecitabine at the discretion of the investigator, until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment with VYLOY continued until RECIST v1.1-defined progression of disease as determined by IRC or subsequent anticancer treatment was initiated. Tumor assessments were performed every weeks up to and including Week 54, then every 12 weeks thereafter.The major efficacy outcome measure was PFS as assessed per RECIST v1.1 by IRC. Additional efficacy outcome measures were OS, ORR, and DOR as assessed per RECIST v1.1 by IRC.

PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy Risk SummaryThere are no data with VYLOY use in pregnant women to inform any drug-associated risks. Embryo-fetal toxicity was not observed in pregnant mice intravenously administered zolbetuximab-clzb [see Data]. VYLOY should only be given to pregnant woman if the benefit outweighs the potential risk.The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.DataAnimal DataIn an embryo-fetal development toxicity study, zolbetuximab-clzb was intravenously administered to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis and did not result in embryo-fetal toxicity at doses up to 300 mg/kg (approximately 1.9 times the recommended clinical dose based on AUC). Zolbetuximab-clzb crossed the placental barrier resulting in higher fetal serum concentrations on Day 18 of gestation than maternal serum concentrations on Day 16 of gestation.
