Cautions
Serious, including fatal, infections may occur; the most common serious infection was pneumonia; before initiating treatment, consider pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) prophylaxis for populations at risk; withhold therapy in patients with suspected PJP infection of any grade; if confirmed, treat infection until resolution, then resume treatment at previous dose with concomitant PJP prophylaxis; monitor patients for signs/symptoms of infection and withhold treatment for grade 3 and higher infection
Grade 3 or 4 hyperglycemia (blood glucose ≥250 mg/dL) reported; achieve optimal blood glucose control before starting each infusion; withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue treatment depending on the severity and persistence of hyperglycemia
Grade 3 hypertension (systolic 160 mm Hg or greater or diastolic 100 mm Hg or greater) may occur; optimal BP control should be achieved before starting each infusion; monitor BP preinfusion and postinfusion; withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue copanlisib depending on severity and persistence of hypertension
Noninfectious pneumonitis reported; withhold treatment and conduct a diagnostic examination of a patient who is experiencing pulmonary symptoms (eg, cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, interstitial infiltrates) on radiologic examination; withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue treatment depending on the severity and persistence of noninfectious pneumonitis
Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia may occur; withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue copanlisib depending on the severity and persistence of neutropenia
Serious cutaneous reaction events (eg, exfoliative dermatitis, exfoliative rash, pruritus, rash [including maculopapular rash]) may occur; withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue treatment depending on the severity and persistence of severe cutaneous reactions
Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose
Drug interaction overview
- Concomitant use of copanlisib with strong CYP3A4 inducers may decrease copanlisib’s AUC and peak plasma concentrations
- Coadministration with strong CYP3A5 inhibitors may increase the AUC of copanlisib
Pregnancy
Pregnancy
Based on animal studies and the mechanism of action, copanlisib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus
Conduct pregnancy testing prior to initiation of treatment
Contraception
- Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception during treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose
- Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception during and for at least 1 month after the last dose
Lactation
There are no data on the presence of copanlisib and/or metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child from copanlisib, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with copanlisib and for at least 1 month after the last dose
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Nutrition
