( 2.5 ) 2.1 Important Dosage and Safety Information Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential before starting JYLAMVO [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Instruct patients and caregivers on how to measure and administer the recommended dosage using the copackaged syringe and bottle adaptor as directed, because medication errors have led to deaths [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ]. Ensure patients and caregivers understand the instructions provided in the Patient Information on proper dosing of JYLAMVO based on volume (mL) utilizing the copackaged syringe before use. Advise patients and caregivers to only use the copackaged syringe to measure JYLAMVO and that a teaspoon is not an appropriate measuring device. The dosing syringe utilizes mL as the unit of measure; ensure that the correct dose expressed in volume (mL) is prescribed. JYLAMVO contains 2 mg of methotrexate in each mL of solution. JYLAMVO is intended for oral use only. When switching the patient’s dosing regimen from a methotrexate product for oral administration to a methotrexate product for intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous administration, an alternative dosing regimen may be necessary due to potential differences in bioavailability. JYLAMVO is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures 1 . 2.2 Recommended Dosage for Neoplastic Diseases Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia The recommended starting dosage of JYLAMVO is 20 mg/m 2 orally once weekly, as part of a combination chemotherapy maintenance regimen. After initiating JYLAMVO, periodically monitor absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and platelet count and adjust the dose to maintain ANC at a desirable level and for excessive myelosuppression. Mycosis Fungoides The recommended dosage of JYLAMVO is 25 mg to 75 mg orally once weekly when administered as a single agent or 10 mg/m 2 orally twice weekly as part of a combination chemotherapy regimen. Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas The recommended dosage of JYLAMVO is 2.5 mg orally 2 to 4 times per week (maximum 10 mg per week) as part of a metronomic combination chemotherapy regimen. 2.3 Recommended Dosage for Rheumatoid Arthritis The recommended starting dosage of JYLAMVO is 7.5 mg orally once weekly with escalation to achieve optimal response. Dosages of more than 20 mg once weekly result in an increased risk of serious adv
Boxed Warning
WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY, HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS AND SEVERE ADVERSE REACTIONS Methotrexate can cause embryo-fetal toxicity, including fetal death. For non-neoplastic diseases, Jylamvo is contraindicated in pregnancy. For neoplastic diseases, advise females and males of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and after treatment with Jylamvo [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3) ] . Jylamvo is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to methotrexate, including anaphylaxis [ Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Serious adverse reactions, including death, have been reported with methotrexate. Closely monitor for infections and adverse reactions of the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs, skin, and kidneys. Withhold or discontinue Jylamvo as appropriate [ Warnings and Precautions (5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.11) ] . WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY, HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS, AND SEVERE ADVERSE REACTIONS See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. Methotrexate can cause embryo-fetal toxicity, including fetal death. For non-neoplastic diseases, Jylamvo is contraindicated in pregnancy. For neoplastic diseases, advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during and after treatment with Jylamvo ( 4, 5.1, 8.1, 8.3 ). Jylamvo is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to methotrexate, including anaphylaxis ( 4, 5.2 ). Serious adverse reactions, including death, have been reported with methotrexate. Closely monitor for infections and adverse reactions of the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs, skin, and kidneys. Withhold or discontinue Jylamvo as appropriate ( 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.11 ).
Monitoring
- • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious Infections : Monitor patients for infection during and after treatment with JYLAMVO.
- • Withhold or discontinue methotrexate for serious infections as appropriate.
- • ( 5.11 ) Neurotoxicity : Monitor patients for neurotoxicity and withhold or discontinue methotrexate as appropriate.
- • ( 5.12 ) Secondary Malignancies : Can occur with methotrexate.
Interaction Notes
- • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Refer to the full prescribing information for drug interactions with JYLAMVO.
- • ( 7 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on Methotrexate Drugs that Increase Methotrexate Exposure Coadministration of methotrexate with the following products may increase methotrexate plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of methotrexate severe adverse reactions.
- • In some cases, the coadministration of methotrexate with these products may also subsequently reduce active metabolite formation, which may decrease the clinical effectiveness of methotrexate.
- • Increased organ specific adverse reactions may also occur when methotrexate is coadministered with hepatotoxic or nephrotoxic products.
