About This Medication
11 DESCRIPTION Belantamab mafodotin‑blmf is a B‑cell maturation antigen (BCMA)‑directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate. Belantamab mafodotin‑blmf is an antibody conjugate composed of 3 components: 1) afucosylated, humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody covalently linked to 2) the microtubule inhibitor mcMMAF via 3) a protease‑resistant maleimidocaproyl linker. The antibody is produced in a mammalian cell line (Chinese Hamster Ovary) using recombinant DNA technology and the microtubule inhibitor and linker are produced by chemical synthesis. Approximately 4 molecules of mafodotin are attached to each antibody molecule. The molecular weight of belantamab mafodotin‑blmf is approximately 152 kDa. Belantamab mafodotin‑blmf has the following structure: BLENREP (belantamab mafodotin‑blmf) for injection is a sterile, preservative‑free, white to yellow, lyophilized powder in a single‑dose vial for reconstitution and further dilution prior to intravenous use. BLENREP is supplied as 70 mg per vial and requires reconstitution with 1.4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, to obtain a concentration of 50 mg/mL. Each mL of reconstituted solution contains belantamab mafodotin‑blmf (50 mg) and the inactive ingredients, citric acid monohydrate (0.46 mg), edetate disodium (0.017 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), sodium citrate (5.88 mg), and trehalose (68.4 mg). The pH of the reconstituted solution is 6.2. Belantamab mafodotin-blmf chemical structure

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Thrombocytopenia: Monitor complete blood counts at baseline and periodically during treatment. Withhold or reduce the dosage based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.3 ) • Embryo‑fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the potential risk to fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Ocular Toxicity BLENREP causes ocular toxicity, defined as changes in the corneal epithelium and changes in BCVA based on ophthalmic exam (including slit lamp exam), or other ocular adverse reactions as defined by the CTCAE [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . In DREAMM-7, ocular toxicity occurred in 92% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 in 77% of patients. The most common ocular toxicities (>25%) were reduction in BCVA (89%) and corneal exam findings (86%) based on ophthalmic exam findings, blurred vision (66%), dry eye (51%), photophobia (47%), foreign body sensation in eyes (44%), eye irritation (43%), and eye pain (33%) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Ocular toxicity based on ophthalmic exam findings was reported as Grade 2 in 9% of patients, Grade 3 in 56% of patients, and Grade 4 in 21% of patients. The median time to onset of the first Grade 2 to 4 ophthalmic exam findings was 43 days (range: 15 to 611 days). The median duration of all Grade 2 to 4 ophthalmic exam findings was 85 days (range: 5 to 813 days). Patients experienced a median of 3 episodes (range: 1 to 11 episodes) of ocular toxicity based on ophthalmic exam findings. Of the patients with Grade 2 to 4 ophthalmic exam findings, 42% had improvement of the last event to Grade 1 or better; 22% had resolution of the last event based on return to baseline or normal ophthalmic exam findings. The most commonly reported corneal exam findings included superficial punctate keratopathy, microcyst-like deposits, epithelial changes, and haze. Cases of corneal ulcer, including cases with infection, have been reported and should be managed promptly by an eye care professional [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . A reduction in BCVA to 20/50 or worse in at least one eye occurred in 69% of patients, including 29% who experienced a change in BCVA to 20/100 or worse, and 12% who experienced a change in BCVA to 20/200 or worse. Of the patients with reduced BCVA to 20/50 or worse in at least one eye, 61% had resolution of the last event to baseline or better. Of the patients with reduced BCVA to 20/100 or worse, 57% had resolution of the last event. Of the patients with reduced BCVA to 20/200 or worse, 48% had resolution of the last event. Ophthalmic exams (including slit lamp exam and BCVA assessment) should be conducted by an eye care professional, such as an ophthalmologist or optometrist, at baseline, before each dose of BLENREP, promptly for new or worsening symptoms, and as clinically indicated. Perform baseline exam within 4 weeks prior to the first dose. Perform each follow-up exam within 10 days prior to the next planned dose. All effort should be made to schedule the exam as close to BLENREP dosing as possible. Withhold BLENREP until improvement in both corneal exam findings and change in BCVA to Grade 1 or less and resume at same or reduced dose or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 , 2.3 )]. Counsel patients to promptly inform their healthcare provider of any ocular symptoms. Counsel patients to use preservative‑free artificial tears at least 4 times a day starting with the first infusion and continuing until the end of treatment, and to avoid wearing contact lenses for the duration of therapy. Bandage contact lenses may be used under the direction of an eye care professional [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )]. Changes in visual acuity may be associated with difficulty for driving and reading. Counsel patients to use caution when driving or operating machinery. BLENREP is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . 5.2 BLENREP Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) BLENREP is available only through a restricted program called the BLENREP REMS because of the risk of ocular toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Notable requirements of the BLENREP REMS include the following: • Prescribers must be certified in the BLENREP REMS by enrolling and completing training. • Prescribers must counsel patients receiving BLENREP on the risk of ocular toxicity, the need for monitoring via ophthalmic exams before each dose, and provide patients with the BLENREP REMS Patient Guide. • Patients must be enrolled in the BLENREP REMS and adhere to monitoring. • Healthcare settings that dispense BLENREP must be certified in the BLENREP REMS by enrolling and must obtain authorization prior to dispensing. • Wholesalers and distributors must distribute BLENREP only to certified healthcare settings. Further information is available at www.BLENREPREMS.com and 1‑855‑690-9572. 5.3 Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia of any grade occurred in 100% of patients in DREAMM‑7 [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Grade 2 thrombocytopenia occurred in 10% of patients, Grade 3 in 29% of patients, and Grade 4 in 45% of patients. Clinically significant bleeding (Grade ≥2) occurred in 7% of patients with concomitant low platelet levels (Grade 3 or 4). Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated. Withhold or reduce the dose of BLENREP based on severity [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. 5.4 Embryo-fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, BLENREP can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman because it contains a genotoxic compound (the microtubule inhibitor, monomethyl auristatin F [MMAF]) and it targets actively dividing cells. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with BLENREP and for 4 months after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with BLENREP and for 6 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )] .
