Vectibix
PANITUMUMAB
Indications and usage 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Vectibix is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist indicated for the treatment of: Adult patients with wild-type RAS (defined as wild-type in both KRAS and NRAS as determined by an FDA-approved test) Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)*: In combination with FOLFOX for first-line treatment. ( 1 , 14.2 ) As monotherapy following disease progression after prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy. ( 1 , 14.1 ) KRAS G12C-mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)* In combination with sotorasib, for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C- mutated mCRC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy. ( 1 ) *Limitations of Use: Vectibix is not indicated for the treatment of patients with RAS -mutant mCRC unless used in combination with sotorasib in KRAS G12C-mutated mCRC.
Vectibix is not indicated for the treatment of patients with mCRC for whom RAS mutation status is unknown ( 1 , 2.1 , 5.2 , 12.1 , 14.3 ).

Vectibix is not indicated for the treatment of patients with mCRC for whom RAS mutation status is unknown ( 1 , 2.1 , 5.2 , 12.1 , 14.3 ). Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) RAS Wild-Type mCRC Vectibix is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with wild-type RAS (defined as wild-type in both KRAS and NRAS as determined by an FDA-approved test) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] : As first-line therapy in combination with FOLFOX [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . As monotherapy following disease progression after prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC Vectibix, in combination with sotorasib, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C- mutated mCRC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Clinical Studies (14.4) ] . Limitations of Use : Vectibix is not indicated for the treatment of patients with RAS -mutant mCRC unless used in combination with sotorasib in KRAS G12C-mutated mCRC. Vectibix is not indicated for the treatment of patients with mCRC for whom RAS mutation status is unknown [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) , Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) and Clinical Studies (14.3) ] . Dosage and administration 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION RAS Wild-Type mCRC: Administer 6 mg/kg every 14 days as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes (≤ 1000 mg) or 90 minutes (> 1000 mg). ( 2 ) KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC: Administer 6 mg/kg every 14 days as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes (≤ 1000 mg) or 90 minutes (> 1000 mg) in combination with sotorasib. ( 2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection RAS Wild-Type mCRC Prior to initiation of treatment with Vectibix as monotherapy, assess RAS mutational status in colorectal tumors and confirm the absence of a RAS mutation in exon 2 (codons 12 and 13), exon 3 (codons 59 and 61), and exon 4 (codons 117 and 146) of both KRAS and NRAS . KRAS G12C-mutated mCRC Prior to initiation of treatment with Vectibix in combination with sotorasib, confirm the presence of the KRAS G12C mutation using an FDA-approved test. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of RAS mutations in patients with mCRC is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. 2.2 Recommended Dosage RAS Wild-Type mCRC The recommended dosage of Vectibix is 6 mg/kg, administered as an intravenous infusion every 14 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Appropriate medical resources for the treatment of severe infusion reactions should be available during Vectibix infusions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] . KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC Administer the first sotorasib dose prior to the first Vectibix infusion. The recommended dosage for Vectibix in combination with sotorasib is 6 mg/kg, administered as an intravenous infusion every 14 days until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or until sotorasib is withheld or discontinued [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.4) ] . Refer to the sotorasib full prescribing information for recommended sotorasib dosing information. Appropriate medical resources for the treatment of severe infusion reactions should be available during Vectibix infusions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] . 2.3 Dose Modifications Dose Modifications for Vectibix in Combination with Sotorasib When Vectibix is administered in combination with sotorasib, if treatment with sotorasib is temporarily withheld or permanently discontinued, temporarily withhold or permanently discontinue Vectibix, respectively [see Clinical Studies (14.4) ] . Refer to the sotorasib full prescribing information for dose modifications for adverse reactions associated with the use of sotorasib. Dose Modifications for Specific Adverse Reactio
