Available dosage forms: INJECTABLE.
Routes of administration: INJECTION.
Brand Names
- OGIVRI
Boxed Warning
Cardiomyopathy Administration of trastuzumab products can result in sub-clinical and clinical cardiac failure. The incidence and severity was highest in patients receiving trastuzumab with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regimens. Evaluate left ventricular function in all patients prior to and during treatment with Ogivri. Discontinue Ogivri treatment in patients receiving adjuvant therapy and withhold Ogivri in patients with metastatic disease for clinically significant decrease in left ventricular function [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Infusion Reactions; Pulmonary Toxicity Administration of trastuzumab products can result in serious and fatal infusion reactions and pulmonary toxicity. Symptoms usually occur during or within 24 hours of administration of trastuzumab products. Interrupt Ogivri infusion for dyspnea or clinically significant hypotension. Monitor patients until symptoms completely resolve. Discontinue Ogivri for anaphylaxis, angioedema, interstitial pneumonitis, or acute respiratory distress syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.4)]. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Exposure to trastuzumab products during pregnancy can result in oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. Advise patients of these risks and the need for effective contraception [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
Contraindications
None.
Adverse Reactions
The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label: Cardiomyopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Infusion Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Embryo-Fetal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Pulmonary Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-induced Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
Drug Interactions
Anthracyclines Patients who receive anthracycline after stopping trastuzumab products may be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction because of trastuzumab products estimated long washout period [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. If possible, avoid anthracycline-based therapy for up to 7 months after stopping trastuzumab products. If anthracyclines are used, closely monitor the patient’s cardiac function.
Mechanism of Action
The HER2 (or c-erbB2) proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane receptor protein of 185 kDa, which is structurally related to the epidermal growth factor receptor. Trastuzumab products have been shown, in both in vitro assays and in animals, to inhibit the proliferation of human tumor cells that overexpress HER2. Trastuzumab products are mediators of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). In vitro, trastuzumab product-mediated ADCC has been shown to be preferentially exerted on HER2 overexpressing cancer cells compared with cancer cells that do not overexpress HER2.
