5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Injection-Site Reactions, Including Phlebitis and Thrombophlebitis: Monitor for signs and symptoms of injection-site reactions, including phlebitis and thrombophlebitis during infusion. Stop infusion and permanently discontinue COSELA for severe or life-threatening reactions. ( 5.1 ) Acute Drug Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for signs and symptoms of acute drug hypersensitivity reactions, including edema (facial, eye, and tongue), urticaria, pruritus, and anaphylactic reactions. Withhold COSELA for moderate reactions, and permanently discontinue for severe or life-threatening reactions. ( 5.2 ) Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors should be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Interrupt and evaluate patients with new or worsening symptoms suspected to be due to ILD/pneumonitis. Permanently discontinue COSELA in patients with recurrent symptomatic or severe/life-threatening ILD/pneumonitis. ( 5.3 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Injection-Site Reactions, Including Phlebitis and Thrombophlebitis COSELA administration can cause injection-site reactions including phlebitis and thrombophlebitis. Injection-site reactions including phlebitis and thrombophlebitis occurred in 56 (21%) of 272 patients receiving COSELA in clinical trials, including Grade 2 (10%) and Grade 3 (0.4%) adverse reactions (ARs). The median time to onset from start of COSELA was 15 days (range 1 to 542) and from the preceding dose of COSELA was 1 day (1 to 15).The median duration was 1 day (range 1 to 151 for the resolved cases). Injection-site reactions including phlebitis and thrombophlebitis resolved in 49 (88%) of the 56 patients and led to discontinuation of treatment in 3 (1%) of the 272 patients. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of injection-site reactions, phlebitis, and thrombophlebitis, including infusion-site pain and erythema during infusion. For mild (Grade 1) to moderate (Grade 2) injection-site reactions, flush line/cannula with at least 20 mL of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP after end of infusion. For severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) injection-site reactions, stop infusion and permanently discontinue COSELA [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . 5.2 Acute Drug Hypersensitivity Reactions COSELA administration can cause acute drug hypersensitivity reactions, including facial edema and urticaria. Acute drug hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 16 (6%) of 272 patients receiving COSELA in clinical trials, including Grade 2 reactions (2%). One patient experienced a Grade 2 anaphylactic reaction 4 days after receiving COSELA, which resolved with epinephrine, and treatment with COSELA was continued. The median time to onset from start of COSELA was 77 days (range 2 to 256) and from the preceding dose of COSELA was 1 day (range 1 to 28). The median duration was 6 days (range 1 to 69 for the resolved cases). Acute drug hypersensitivity reactions resolved in 12 (75%) of the 16 patients. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of acute drug hypersensitivity reactions including facial, eye, and tongue edema, urticaria, pruritus, and anaphylactic reactions. For moderate (Grade 2) acute drug hypersensitivity reactions, stop infusion and hold COSELA until the adverse reaction recovers to Grade ≤1. For severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) acute drug hypersensitivity reactions, stop infusion and permanently discontinue COSELA [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . 5.3 Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK)4/6 inhibitors, the same drug class as COSELA. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 1 (0.4%) of 272 patients receiving COSELA in clinical trials. The adverse reaction was Grade 3 and reported 2 months after discontinuing COSELA, in a patient receiving a confounding medication. The adverse reaction did not resolve. Monitor patients for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis such as cough, dyspnea, and hypoxia. For recurrent moderate (Grade 2) ILD/pneumonitis, permanently discontinue COSELA. For severe (Grade 3) or life-threatening (Grade 4) ILD/pneumonitis, permanently discontinue COSELA [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . 5.4 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, COSELA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Females of reproductive potential should use an effective method of contraception during treatment with COSELA and for at least 3 weeks after the final dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )].
