Safety

Breyanzi® delivers a safety profile you can count on in a broad range of patients across trials1

Breyanzi was evaluated in 2L in TRANSFORM (N=89) and PILOT (N=61) and in 3L+ in TRANSCEND (N=268)1
Majority of CRS events were low grade and most resolved quickly1
In clinical trials of Breyanzi (N=702), 54% of patients experienced any grade CRS and 3.2% of patients experienced Grade ≥3 CRS. Median time to onset of CRS was 5 (range 1-63) days; median duration was 5 (range 1-37) days.1

Prophylactic corticosteroids were not used in Breyanzi trials.1
The majority of patients in 2L trials did not experience CRS of any grade1
No Grade 4 or 5 CRS events were reported in 2L trials2
In clinical trials of Breyanzi (N=702), one patient had fatal CRS and 5 patients had ongoing CRS at the time of death.1
Of the patients who received Breyanzi for LBCL2:
  • 23% received tocilizumab and/or a corticosteroid for CRS
  • 10% received tocilizumab only
  • 0% received corticosteroids only
Use of tocilizumab + corticosteroids were low.
Most common manifestations of CRS (≥10%) in clinical trials of Breyanzi (N=702)1
The most common manifestations of CRS (≥10%) included fever, hypotension, chills, tachycardia, hypoxia, and headache.
CRS warnings and precautions1
  • CRS, including fatal or life-threatening reactions, occurred following treatment with Breyanzi. Serious events that may be associated with CRS include cardiac arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia), cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, diffuse alveolar damage, renal insufficiency, capillary leak syndrome, hypotension, hypoxia, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome
  • Ensure that 2 doses of tocilizumab are available prior to infusion of Breyanzi
  • Monitor patients daily for at least 7 days following Breyanzi infusion at a REMS-certified healthcare facility for signs and symptoms of CRS. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of CRS for at least 4 weeks after infusion. At the first sign of CRS, institute treatment with supportive care, tocilizumab, or tocilizumab and corticosteroids as indicated
  • Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur at any time

Majority of NT events were low grade and most resolved quickly1
In clinical trials of Breyanzi (N=702), 31% experienced NT and 10% of patients experienced Grade ≥3 NT. Median time to onset for NT was 8 (range 1-63) days; median duration was 7 (range 1-119) days.1

The majority of patients in 2L did not experience NT events of any grade1
No Grade 4 or 5 NT events were reported in 2L trials2
NT warnings and precautions1
  • NTs that were fatal or life-threatening, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), occurred following treatment with Breyanzi. Serious events including cerebral edema and seizures occurred with Breyanzi. Fatal and serious cases of leukoencephalopathy, some attributable to fludarabine, have also occurred
  • Monitor patients daily at least for at least 7 days following Breyanzi infusion at a REMS-certified healthcare facility for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicities and assess for other causes of neurological symptoms. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicities for at least 4 weeks after infusion and treat promptly. Manage neurologic toxicity with supportive care and/or corticosteroid as needed
  • Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity occur at any time
Most common NTs (≥5%) in clinical trials of Breyanzi (N=702)1
The most common neurologic toxicities (≥5%) included encephalopathy, tremor, aphasia, delirium, and headache.
