    Black Box Warnings

    Cytokine release syndrome (CRS)

    • CRS reported, including life-threatening or fatal reactions
    • Initiate with step-up dosing to reduce risk of CRS
    • If CRS occurs, withhold elranatamab until resolved or permanently discontinue based on severity

    Neurologic toxicity

    • Neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and serious and life-threatening or fatal reactions, can occur
    • Monitor for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity including ICANS during treatment, and treat promptly
    • Withhold or permanently discontinue elranatamab based on severity

    REMS

    • Owing to risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, drug is available only through a restricted program called the Elrexfio Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) or by telephone at 1-844-923-7845
    • REMS requirements
      • Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training
      • Prescribers must counsel patients receiving elranatamab about the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, and provide patients with patient wallet card
      • Pharmacies and healthcare settings that dispense elranatamab must be certified with the ELREXFIO REMS program and must verify that prescribers are certified through the ELREXFIO REMS program
      • Wholesalers and distributors must distribute drug only to certified pharmacies

    Cautions

    Drug available only through restricted Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program

    On the basis of its mechanism of action, drug may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant females

    Pregnancy

    On the basis of its mechanism of action, drug may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant females

    Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus

    Elranatamab causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance

    Additionally, based on finding of B-cell depletion in nonpregnant animals, elranatamab can cause B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed in utero

    Contraception

    • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment and for 4 months after last dose
