Subsequent cycles

  • Days 1 and 15: 1 mg/kg IV over at least 60 min
  • Continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Dosage Modifications

Dermatologic toxicity

  • Grade 1: Consider topical steroids
  • Grade 2 or 3: Interrupt treatment and administer at least 2 weeks of topical corticosteroids; if rash improves to Grade ≤1, resume treatment
  • Life-threatening (Grade 4) rash or for any Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN): Permanently discontinue treatment
  • If SJS or TEN is suspected, stop treatment, and do not resume unless SJS or TEN has been excluded and cutaneous reaction has resolved to Grade ≤1

Infusion reactions

  • If an infusion reaction occurs, administer premedication (eg, diphenhydramine, acetaminophen) for subsequent infusions
  • Grades 1 to 3: Temporarily interrupt infusion and treat symptoms; after symptoms resolve, restart infusion at a reduced infusion rate (by at least 50%); if reaction recurs and is unmanageable, discontinue infusion
  • Grade 4: Permanently discontinue

Renal impairment

  • CrCl <90 mL/min: No clinically significant pharmacokinetic changes observed

Hepatic impairment

  • Mild (total bilirubin ≤3x ULN and any AST): No dosage adjustment necessary
  • Severe (total bilirubin >3x ULN and any AST): Pharmacokinetics of mogamulizumab is unknown

                None

                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.
