Cautions
Fatal and life-threatening skin adverse reactions, including SJS and TEN, have occurred; onset of drug eruption, affected areas, and appearance varies; more common presentations reported included papular or maculopapular rash, lichenoid, spongiotic, or granulomatous dermatitis, and morbilliform rash; monitor for rash throughout treatment course
Fatal and life-threatening infusion reactions reported; most reactions (~90%) occur during or shortly after the first infusion; infusion reactions can also occur with subsequent infusions; most common reported signs include chills, nausea, fever, tachycardia, rigors, headache, and vomiting
Fatal and life-threatening infections, including sepsis, pneumonia, and skin infection occurred; monitor for signs and symptoms of infection and treat promptly
Increased risks of transplant complications reported in patients who receive allogeneic HSCT after mogamulizumab ,including severe (Grade 3 or 4) acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), steroid-refractory GVHD, and transplant-related death; a higher risk of transplant complications reported if mogamulizumab is given within a shorter time frame (~50 days) before HSCT; closely monitor for early evidence of transplant-related complications
Autoimmune complications
- Fatal and life-threatening immune-mediated complications reported; Grade 3 or higher immune-mediated or possibly immune-mediated reactions have included myositis, myocarditis, polymyositis, hepatitis, pneumonitis, glomerulonephritis, and a variant of Guillain Barre syndrome
- Use of systemic immunosuppressants for immune-mediated reactions reported in 1.9% of recipients of mogamulizumab in Trial 1, including for a case of Grade 2 polymyalgia rheumatica
- New-onset hypothyroidism (Grade 1 or 2) reported and managed with observation or levothyroxine
- Interrupt or permanently discontinue treatment as appropriate for suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions
- Consider if benefits outweigh the risks in patients with a history of autoimmune disease
Pregnancy
Pregnancy
There are no available data on use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage
In general, IgG molecules are known to cross the placental barrier and in the monkey reproduction study mogamulizumab-kpkc was detected in fetal plasma
Therefore, drug may potentially be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus
Not recommended during pregnancy or in women of childbearing potential not using contraception
For females of reproductive potential, verify pregnancy status prior to initiation
Animal data
- In an animal reproduction study, administration to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys from the start of organogenesis through delivery did not show a potential for adverse developmental outcomes at maternal systemic exposures 27 times the exposure in patients at the recommended dose, based on AUC
Contraception
- Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 3 months following the last dose
Lactation
There is no information regarding the presence of mogamulizumab-kpkc in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production
Consider the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug, and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition
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.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CCR4-expressing cell, inhibiting CCR4-mediated signaling may mitigate chemokine-mediated cellular migration, T cell proliferation, and chemokine-mediated angiogenesis
CCR4 (also known as CD194) may be overexpressed on adult T-cell lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma

Calculate dose (mg/kg) and number of vials needed to prepare the infusion solution based on patient weight
Aseptically withdraw required volume and transfer into an IV bag containing 0.9% NaCl
Final concentration of the diluted solution should be between 0.1-3 mg/mL
Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion; do not shake
Discard any unused portion left in the vial
IV Administration
Infuse over at least 60 minutes through an IV line containing a sterile, low protein binding, 0.22 micron (or equivalent) in-line filter
Do not mix with other drugs
Do not coadminister other drugs through the same IV line
Administer within 2 days of scheduled dose
