This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). ZYNLONTA is a CD19-directed antibody and alkylating agent conjugate indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma. ( 1 ) This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). ( 1 ) Dosage and administration 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ZYNLONTA is an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1 of each cycle (every 3 weeks). The recommended dosage is: 0.15 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 2 cycles. 0.075 mg/kg every 3 weeks for subsequent cycles. ( 2.1 ) Premedicate with dexamethasone 4 mg orally or intravenously twice daily for 3 days beginning the day before ZYNLONTA. ( 2.2 ) See Full Prescribing Information for instructions on preparation and administration. ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage ZYNLONTA as an intravenous infusion administered over 30 minutes on Day 1 of each cycle (every 3 weeks). Administer intravenous infusion as follows: 0.15 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 2 cycles. 0.075 mg/kg every 3 weeks for subsequent cycles. 2.2 Recommended Premedication Unless contraindicated, administer dexamethasone 4 mg orally or intravenously twice daily for 3 days beginning the day before administering ZYNLONTA. If dexamethasone administration does not begin the day before ZYNLONTA, dexamethasone should begin at least 2 hours prior to administration of ZYNLONTA. 2.3 Dosage Modifications and Delays Table 1: Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reactions Severity Dosage Modification Hematologic Adverse Reactions Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Absolute neutrophil count less than 1 × 10 9 /L Withhold ZYNLONTA until neutrophil counts returns to 1 × 10 9 /L or higher Thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Platelet count less than 50,000/mcL Withhold ZYNLONTA until platelet count returns to 50,000/mcL or higher Nonhematologic Adverse Reactions Edema or Effusion [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Grade 2 National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 or higher Withhold ZYNLONTA until the toxicity resolves to Grade 1 or less Pericardial Effusion [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Grade 2 Withhold ZYNLONTA until the toxicity resolves. Discontinue ZYNLONTA if effusion recurs Grade 3 or higher Discontinue ZYNLONTA Hepatotoxicity [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Grade 3 or higher increase in AST or ALT or suspected DILI Withhold ZYNLONTA until toxicity resolves to Grade 1 or less, discontinue for confirmed DILI Other Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , (5.5) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] Grade 3 or higher Withhold ZYNLONTA until the toxicity resolves to Grade 1 or less Recommendations for Dosage Delays If dosing is delayed by more than 3 weeks due to toxicity related to ZYNLONTA, reduce subsequent doses by 50%. If toxicity reoccurs following dose reduction, consider discontinuation. Note: If toxicity requires dose reduction following the second dose of 0.15 mg/kg (Cycle 2), the patient should receive the dose of 0.075 mg/kg for Cycle 3. 2.4 Reconstitution and Administration Instructions Reconstitute and further dilute ZYNLONTA prior to intravenous infusion. Use appropriate aseptic technique. ZYNLONTA is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures. 1 Dose calculation Calculate the total dose (mg) required based on the patient's weight and prescribed dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . For patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m 2 , calculate the dose based on an adjusted body weight (ABW) as follows: ABW in kg = 35 kg/m 2 × (height in meters) 2 More than one vial may be needed to achieve the calculated dose. Convert the calculated dose (mg) to volume using 5 mg/mL, which is the concentration of ZYNLONTA after reconstitution. Reconstitution of lyophilized ZYNLONTA Reconstitute each ZYNLONTA vial using 2.2 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP with the stream directed toward the inside wall of the vial to obtain a final concentration of 5 mg/mL. Swirl the vial gently until t
