                  Cytokine release syndrome

                  • Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including fatal or life-threatening reactions, reported in a majority of patients
                  • Do not administer to patients with active infection or inflammatory disorders
                  • Treat severe or life-threatening CRS with tocilizumab with or without corticosteroids

                  Neurological toxicities

                  • Neurologic toxicities, including life-threatening reactions, reported; these may occur concurrently with CRS or after CRS resolution; monitor and provide supportive care and/or corticosteroids as needed
                  • The most common neurological toxicities were encephalopathy, headache, tremor, aphasia, and delirium
                  • Monitor for neurological events for at least 7 days at the certified healthcare facility following infusion for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicities

                  Restricted access program

                  • Available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the Yescarta and Tecartus REMS program
                  • Further information is available at www.yescartatecartusrems.com or 1-844-454-KITE (5483)
                  • REMS requirements
                    • Healthcare facilities that dispense and administer brexucabtagene autoleucel must be enrolled and comply with the REMS requirements
                    • Certified healthcare facilities must have onsite immediate access to tocilizumab and ensure that a minimum of 2 doses of tocilizumab are available for each patient for administration within 2 hr after brexucabtagene autoleucel IV infusion, if needed for treatment of CRS
                    • Certified healthcare facilities must ensure that healthcare providers who prescribe, dispense, or administer brexucabtagene autoleucel are trained about the management of CRS and neurological toxicities

                  Contraindications

                  None

                  Cautions

                  Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including fatal or life-threatening reactions, occurred following treatment in a majority of patients (see Black Box Warnings and Adverse Effects)

                  Available only through a restricted access program

                  Allergic reactions may occur during infusion; serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may be due to the dimethyl sulfoxide or residual gentamicin in the product

                  Viral reactivation can occur; hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation can result in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death; perform screening for HBV, hepatitis C virus, and HIV in accordance with clinical guidelines before collection of cells for manufacturing

                  Prolonged cytopenias may occur and last for several weeks following lymphodepleting chemotherapy and brexucabtagene autoleucel infusion; monitor blood cell counts

                  B-cell aplasia and hypogammaglobulinemia can occur; monitor immunoglobulin levels after treatment and manage using infection precautions, antibiotic prophylaxis, and immunoglobulin replacement standard guidelines

                  Secondary malignancies may develop; monitor patient life-long for secondary malignancies

                  Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome (HLH/MAS), including life-threatening reactions reported; patients with HLH/MAS reported to have CRS symptoms and neurologic events after infusion; administer HLH/MAS treatment per institutional standards

                  Infection risk

                  • Serious infections, including life-threatening or fatal infections, reported; before administering, infection prophylaxis for neutropenia should follow local guidelines; monitor for signs and symptoms of infection after treatment and treat appropriately
                  • Life-threatening and fatal opportunistic infections reported in immunosuppressed patients; consider possibility of rare infectious etiologies (eg, fungal and viral infections such as HHV-6 and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy) in patients with neurologic events; perform appropriate diagnostic procedures
                  • Viral reactivation can occur; hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation can result in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death; perform screening for HBV, hepatitis C virus, and HIV in accordance with clinical guidelines before collection of cells for manufacturing

                  Neurologic effects

                  • Neurological toxicities, which may be severe or life-threatening, can occur following treatment
                  • Owing to the potential for neurological events, including altered mental status or seizures, patients are at risk for altered or decreased consciousness or coordination in the 8 weeks following treatment; advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities

                  FDA MedWatch alert

                  • November 28, 2023: FDA has received reports of T-cell malignancies, including chimeric antigen receptor CAR-positive lymphoma, in patients who received treatment with BCMA- or CD19-directed autologous CAR-T cell immunotherapies
                  • Reports came from clinical trials and/or postmarketing adverse event data sources
                  • FDA determined the risk of T-cell malignancies is applicable to all currently approved BCMA-directed and CD19-directed genetically modified autologous CAR-T cell immunotherapies
                  • Although overall benefits continue to outweigh their potential risks for approved uses, FDA is investigating the identified risk of T-cell malignancy with serious outcomes, including hospitalization and death, and is evaluating the need for regulatory action
                  • Monitor patients and clinical trial participants receiving treatment for life-long for new malignancies
                  • If new malignancy occurs following treatment, contact manufacturer to report event and obtain instructions on collection of patient samples for testing for presence of CAR transgene

                  Immunization with live viral vaccines

                  • Safety of immunization with live viral vaccines during or following treatment has not been studied
                  • Vaccination with live-virus vaccines is not recommended for at least 6 weeks prior to the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy, during brexucabtagene autoleucel treatment, and until immune recovery afterwards

                  Pregnancy & Lactation

                  Pregnancy

                  Data are not available in pregnant women

                  No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted

                  Based on the mechanism of action, if the transduced cells cross the placenta, they may cause fetal toxicity, including B-cell lymphocytopenia

                  Therefore, brexucabtagene autoleucel is not recommended during pregnancy, and pregnancy after infusion should be discussed with the treating physician

                  Verify pregnancy status of females with reproductive potential; sexually active females of reproductive potential should have a pregnancy test prior to starting treatment

                  Contraception

                  • See the prescribing information for fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for information on the need for effective contraception in patients who receive the lymphodepleting chemotherapy
                  • Limited exposure data available concerning the duration of contraception following treatment

                  Lactation

                  Unknown if distributed in human breast milk

                  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

                  CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T-cell immunotherapy that involves reengineering a patient’s own T cells to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to identify and bind to CD19-expressing malignant and normal B cells

                  Following anti-CD19 CAR T-cell engagement with CD19-expressing target cells, the CD28 and CD3-zeta costimulatory domains activate downstream signaling cascades that lead to T-cell activation, proliferation, acquisition of effector functions and secretion of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines

                  This cascade of events leads to killing of CD19-expressing cells

                  Absorption

                  Peak plasma time: 7-15 days

                  Peak plasma concentration, median: 102.4 cells/mcL (responsive patients); 12 cells/mcL (nonresponsive [NR] patients)

                  AUC (0-28d): 1487 cells/mcL⋅days (responsive patients); 169.5 cells/mcL⋅days (NR patients)
