YONDELIS

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administer at 1.5 mg/m 2 as a 24-hour intravenous infusion, every 3 weeks through a central venous line ( 2.1 , 2.6 ) Premedication: dexamethasone 20 mg intravenously, 30 min before each infusion ( 2.3 ) Hepatic Impairment: Administer at 0.9 mg/m 2 as a 24-hour intravenous infusion, every 3 weeks through a central venous line in patients with moderate hepatic impairment ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dose is 1.5 mg/m 2 administered as an intravenous infusion over 24 hours through a central venous line every 21 days (3 weeks), until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 2.2 Recommended Dosage in Patients with Hepatic Impairment The recommended dosage of YONDELIS in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (bilirubin levels greater than 1.5 times to 3 times the upper limit of normal, and AST and ALT less than 8 times the upper limit of normal) is 0.9 mg/m 2 every 21 days (3 weeks). Do not administer YONDELIS to patients with severe hepatic impairment (bilirubin levels above 3 times the upper limit of normal, and any AST and ALT) [ see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.3 Premedication Administer dexamethasone 20 mg intravenously 30 minutes prior to each dose of YONDELIS. 2.4 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Permanently discontinue YONDELIS for: Persistent adverse reactions requiring a delay in dosing of more than 3 weeks. Adverse reactions requiring dose reduction following YONDELIS administered at 1.0 mg/m 2 for patients with normal hepatic function or at 0.3 mg/m 2 for patients with pre-existing moderate hepatic impairment. Severe liver dysfunction: bilirubin two times the upper limit of normal, and AST or ALT three times the upper limit of normal, and alkaline phosphatase less than two times the upper limit of normal in the prior treatment cycle for patients with normal liver function at baseline. Exacerbation of liver dysfunction in patients with pre-existing moderate hepatic impairment. Capillary leak syndrome. Rhabdomyolysis. Grade 3 or 4 cardiac adverse events (AEs) indicative of cardiomyopathy or for subjects with an LVEF that decreases below the lower limit of normal. The recommended dose modifications for adverse reactions are listed in Table 1. Once reduced, the dose of YONDELIS should not be increased in subsequent treatment cycles.

Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures. 1 Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Using aseptic technique, inject 20 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP into the vial. Shake the vial until complete dissolution. The reconstituted solution is clear, colorless to pale brownish-yellow, and contains 0.05 mg/mL of trabectedin. Inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to further dilution. Discard vial if particles or discoloration are observed. Immediately following reconstitution, withdraw the calculated volume of trabectedin and further dilute in 500 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. Do not mix YONDELIS with other drugs. Discard any remaining solution within 30 hours of reconstituting the lyophilized powder. YONDELIS diluted solution is compatible with Type I colorless glass vials, polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) bags and tubing, PE and polypropylene (PP) mixture bags, polyethersulfone (PES) in-line filters, titanium, platinum or plastic ports, silicone and polyurethane catheters, and pumps having contact surfaces made of PVC, PE, or PE/PP. 2.6 Administration Infuse the reconstituted, diluted solution over 24 hours through a central venous line using an infusion set with a 0.2 micron polyethersulfone (PES) in-line filter. Complete infusion within 30 hours of initial reconstitution. Discard any unused portion of the reconstituted product or of the infusion solution.
