Dosage Forms & Strengths

trastuzumab/hyaluronidase

injectable solution, single-dose vial

  • (120mg/2,000 units)/mL
  • Ready-to-use SC solution contains trastuzumab and hyaluronidase human

Adjuvant Breast Cancer

Indicated for adjuvant treatment of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer for the following:

In combination with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and either paclitaxel or docetaxel OR

In combination with docetaxel and carboplatin OR

As a single agent following multimodality anthracycline-based therapy

600 mg trastuzumab/10,000 units hyaluronidase SC q3Weeks

Continue treatment for 52 weeks or until disease recurrence, whichever occurs first; extending treatment in adjuvant breast cancer >1 year is not recommended

Metastatic Breast Cancer

Indicated for HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer in combination with paclitaxel for first-line treatment or as a single agent in patients who have received ≥1 chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease

600 mg trastuzumab/10,000 units hyaluronidase SC q3Weeks

Continue until disease progression

Dosage Modifications

Cardiomyopathy

  • Withhold dose for ≥4 weeks
    • ≥16% absolute decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline
    • LVEF below institutional limits of normal and ≥10% absolute decrease in LVEF from baseline
    • Resume if, within 4−8 weeks, LVEF returns to normal limits and absolute decrease from baseline is ≤15%
  • Permanently discontinue
    • Persistent (>8 weeks) LVEF decline
    • Withheld dose on >3 occurrences for cardiomyopathy

Dosing Considerations

No loading dose is required

No dose adjustments for body weight or for different concomitant chemotherapy regimens are required

Do not substitute trastuzumab/hyaluronidase for or with ado-trastuzumab emtansine

Cardiac monitoring

  • Conduct thorough cardiac assessment (eg, history, physical examination, and determination of LVEF by echocardiogram, multigated acquisition scan)
  • Baseline LVEF measurement immediately prior to initiation
  • LVEF measurements q3Months during and upon completion of treatment
  • Repeat LVEF measurement at 4-week intervals if dose is withheld
  • LVEF measurements q6Months for ≥2 yr following completion of trastuzumab/hyaluronidase as a component of adjuvant therapy

Patient selection

  • Select patients based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for trastuzumab
  • Assess HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification using FDA-approved tests specific for breast cancer by laboratories with demonstrated proficiency
  • Information on FDA-approved tests for detecting HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics

Safety and efficacy not established

In patients receiving IV trastuzumab, risk of cardiac dysfunction was increased in geriatric patients as compared with younger patients, in both those receiving treatment for adjuvant therapy or metastatic disease

              Black Box Warnings

              Cardiomyopathy

              • Administration can result in subclinical and clinical cardiac failure
              • Highest incidence and severity occurred in patients receiving trastuzumab/hyaluronidase with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regimens
              • Evaluate left ventricular function prior to and during treatment
              • Discontinue treatment in patients receiving adjuvant therapy and withhold dose in patients with metastatic disease for clinically significant decrease in left ventricular function

              Pulmonary toxicity

              • Serious and fatal pulmonary toxicity reported
              • Symptoms usually occur during or within 24 hr of administration
              • Discontinue treatment for anaphylaxis, angioedema, interstitial pneumonitis, or acute respiratory distress syndrome)
              • Monitor until symptoms completely resolve

              Embryo-fetal toxicity

              • Exposure to trastuzumab/hyaluronidase during pregnancy can result in oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death
              • Inform patients of these risks and to use effective contraception

              Contraindications

              None

              Cautions

              Left ventricular cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, hypertension, disabling cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac death may occur as well as asymptomatic decline in LVEF (see Black Box Warnings)

              Fetal harm may occur when administered to a pregnant woman (see Black Box Warnings and Pregnancy)

              Pulmonary toxicity (eg, dyspnea, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusions, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, pulmonary insufficiency and hypoxia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis) reported; patients with symptomatic intrinsic lung disease or with extensive tumor involvement of the lungs, resulting in dyspnea at rest, appear to have more severe toxicity (see Black Box Warnings)

              Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia may be exacerbated

              Severe administration-related reactions (ARRs), including hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis, reported; patients experiencing dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy and comorbidities may be at increased risk of a severe or fatal ARR

              Drug interaction overview

              • Since trastuzumab/hyaluronidase has a long washout period, patients who receive anthracycline after stopping trastuzumab/hyaluronidase may be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction
              • If possible, avoid anthracycline-based therapy for at least 7 months after discontinuing trastuzumab/hyaluronidase

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              Pregnancy

              Fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman

              Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential before initiation

              Female: Use effective contraception during treatment and for 7 months following the last dose

              Pregnancy pharmacovigilance program

              • If administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while during treatment or within 7 months following the last dose, immediately report exposure to Genentech at 1-888-835-2555
              • In postmarketing reports, use of trastuzumab during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and of oligohydramnios sequence, manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death
              • Advise patient of the potential risks to a fetus

              Clinical considerations

              • Monitor women who received treatment during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception for oligohydramnios
              • If oligohydramnios occurs, perform fetal testing that is appropriate for gestational age and consistent with community standards of care

              Lactation

              There is no information regarding the presence of trastuzumab or hyaluronidase in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production

              Published data suggest human IgG is present in human milk but does not enter the neonatal and infant circulation in substantial amounts

              Present in the milk of lactating cynomolgus monkeys but not associated with neonatal toxicity

              Consider developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for treatment and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child or from the underlying maternal condition; also take into account the trastuzumab wash-out period of 7 months

              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.
