                  Verify pregnancy status of females with reproductive potential before initiating treatment

                  There are no data on effects on fertility

                  Contraception

                  • See prescribing information for fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for information on the need for effective contraception in patients who receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy
                  • Insufficient exposure data are available to provide recommendations on duration of contraception following treatment

                  Lactation

                  There is no information regarding presence in human milk, effects on breastfed infants, and effects on milk production

                  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.

                  Administration

                  IV Preparation

                  Confirm infusion time in advance, and adjust start time for thaw so that is available for infusion when recipient is ready; do not thaw until ready to be used

                  Confirm patient identity before preparing, and match patient's identity with the patient identifiers on ciltacabtagene autoleucel infusion bag; ciltacabtagene autoleucel is for autologous use only

                  Inspect infusion bag for any breaks or cracks before thawing; if bag is compromised, do not infuse the contents; contact Janssen Biotech at 1-800-526-7736

                  Place infusion bag inside a sealable plastic bag (preferably sterile) before thawing

                  Thaw infusion bag at 37ºC using either a water bath or dry thaw method until there is no visible ice in the infusion bag; total time for completion of thawing should not exceed 15 minutes

                  Remove infusion bag from sealable plastic bag and wipe dry; gently mix contents of bag to disperse clumps of cellular material; if visible cell clumps remain, continue to gently mix contents of bag

                  Do not prefilter into a different container, wash, spin down, and/or resuspend in new media before infusion

                  Once thawed, infusion must be completed within 2.5 hr at room/ambient temperature (20-25ºC); do not refreeze or refrigerate thawed product

                  Premedication

                  30-60 minutes before CAR-T cell infusion H4

                  Acetaminophen 650-1000 mg PO/IV

                  Diphenhydramine 25-50 mg (or equivalent) PO/IV

                  Avoid prophylactic systemic corticosteroids; use may interfere with activity of CAR-T cell therapy

                  IV Administration

                  Administer at a REMS-certified healthcare facility

                  For IV use only

                  For autologous use only

                  Do NOT use a leukocyte-depleting filter

                  Ensure minimum of 2 doses of tocilizumab and emergency equipment are present before infusion and during recovery period

                  Central venous access may be utilized for infusion and is encouraged in patients with poor peripheral access

                  Confirm patient’s identity with patient identifiers on infusion bag; do not infuse if information does not match intended patient

                  Prime infusion set tubing with 0.9% NaCl

                  Once thawed, administer entire contents of ciltacabtagene autoleucel bag by IV infusion within 2.5 hr using infusion sets fitted with an in-line filter

                  Gently mix contents of bag during infusion to disperse cell clumps

                  After entire contents are infused, flush administration line, inclusive of in-line filter, with 0.9% NaCl with volume equal or greater than total hold up volume of primary administration set used inclusive of the drip tube, to ensure that all product is delivered

                  Postinfusion monitoring

                  • Monitor for 2 hr after infusion for signs and symptoms of severe hypersensitivity
                  • Monitor at least daily for 10 days following infusion at certified healthcare facility for signs and symptoms of CRS and neurologic toxicities
