- <p><strong>4.2. Posology and method of administration</strong></p>
<p>For patients with circulating lymphoblasts, cytoreduction with a combination of hydroxyurea, steroids, and/or vincristine to a peripheral blast count ≤10,000/mm<sup>3</sup> is recommended prior to the first dose.</p>
<p>Premedication with a corticosteroid, antipyretic, and antihistamine is recommended prior to dosing (see Section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p>Patients should be observed during and for at least 1 hour after the end of the infusion for symptoms of infusion related reactions (see Section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p><u>Posology</u></p>
<p>Administer inotuzumab ozogamicin in 3- to 4-week cycles.</p>
<p>For patients proceeding to a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), the recommended duration of treatment with inotuzumab ozogamicin is 2 cycles. A third cycle should be considered for those patients who do not achieve a complete remission (CR) or a complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) and minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after 2 cycles (see Section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p>For patients not proceeding to HSCT, a maximum of 6 cycles may be administered.</p>
<p>Any patients who do not achieve a CR or CRi within 3 cycles should discontinue treatment.</p>
<p>Table 1 shows the recommended dosing regimens.</p>
<p>For the first cycle, the recommended total dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin for all patients is 1.8 mg/m<sup>2</sup> per cycle, administered as 3 divided doses on Days 1 (0.8 mg/m<sup>2</sup>), 8 (0.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup>), and 15 (0.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup>). Cycle 1 is 3 weeks in duration, but may be extended to 4 weeks if the patient achieves a CR or CRi, and/or to allow recovery from toxicity.</p>
<p>For subsequent cycles, the recommended total dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin is 1.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup> per cycle, administered as 3 divided doses on Days 1 (0.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup>), 8 (0.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup>), and 15 (0.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup>) for patients who achieve a CR or CRi or 1.8 mg/m<sup>2</sup> per cycle given as 3 divided doses on Days 1 (0.8 mg/m<sup>2</sup>), 8 (0.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup>), and 15 (0.5 mg/m<sup>2</sup>) for patients who do not achieve a CR or CRi. Subsequent cycles are 4 weeks in duration.</p>

<p><u>Dose modifications</u></p>
<p>Dose modification of inotuzumab ozogamicin may be required based on individual safety and tolerability (see Section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>). Management of some adverse drug reactions may require dosing interruptions and/or dose reductions, or permanent discontinuation of inotuzumab ozogamicin (see Sections 4.4 and 4.8 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>). If the dose is reduced due to inotuzumab ozogamicin-related toxicity, the dose must not be re-escalated.</p>
<p>Table 2 and Table 3 show the dose modification guidelines for hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities, respectively. Inotuzumab ozogamicin doses within a treatment cycle (i.e., Days 8 and/or 15) do not need to be interrupted due to neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, but dosing interruptions within a cycle are recommended for nonhematologic toxicities.</p>

<p>Table 4 shows the dose modification guidelines depending on the duration of dosing interruptions due to toxicity.</p>

<p><u>Special populations</u></p>
<p><em>Elderly patients</em></p>
<p>No adjustment to the starting dose is required based on age (see Section 5.2 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>). Increased age may be associated with an increased risk of venoocclusive liver disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) after HSCT (see Section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p><em>Hepatic impairment</em></p>
<p>No adjustment to the starting dose is required in patients with hepatic impairment defined by total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN (see Section 5.2 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>). There is limited safety information available in patients with total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN and AST/ALT >2.5 × ULN prior to dosing. Interrupt dosing until recovery of total bilirubin to ≤1.5 × ULN and AST/ALT to ≤2.5 × ULN prior to each dose unless due to Gilbert’s syndrome or hemolysis.<br>
Permanently discontinue treatment if total bilirubin does not recover to ≤1.5 × ULN or AST/ALT does not recover to ≤2.5 × ULN (see Table 3 and Section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p><em>Renal impairment</em></p>
<p>No adjustment to the starting dose is required in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CL<sub>cr</sub>] 60–89 mL/min, 30–59 mL/min, or 15–29 mL/min, respectively) (see Section 5.2 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>). The safety and efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin have not been studied in patients with end-stage renal disease.</p>
<p><em>Pediatric population</em></p>
<p>The safety and efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin in the pediatric population (<18 years) have not been established. Currently available data are described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em> but no recommendation on a posology can be made.</p>
<p><u>Method of administration</u></p>
<p>Inotuzumab ozogamicin is for intravenous use. The infusion must be administered over 1 hour.</p>
<p>Do not administer inotuzumab ozogamicin as an intravenous push or bolus.</p>
<p>Inotuzumab ozogamicin must be reconstituted and diluted before administration. For instructions on reconstitution and dilution of inotuzumab ozogamicin before administration, see Section 6.6 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>.</p>
