5.1Cytokine Release Syndrome
IMDELLTRA can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS) including life-threatening or fatal reactions. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , CRS occurred in 57% (268/473) of patients who received IMDELLTRA, including 39% Grade 1, 15% Grade 2, 1.7% Grade 3 and 0.2% Grade 4. Recurrent CRS occurred in 24% of IMDELLTRA-treated patients including 20% Grade 1 and 3.4% Grade 2; one patient experienced recurrent Grade 3.
Among the 268 patients who experienced CRS, 73% had CRS after the first dose, 60% had CRS after the second dose, and 15% had CRS following the third or later dose. Following the Cycle 1 Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 infusions, 24%, 8%, and 1% of patients experienced Grade ≥ 2 CRS, respectively. From Cycle 2 onwards, 1.5% of patients experienced Grade ≥ 2 CRS. Of the patients who experienced CRS, 31% received steroids and 10% required tocilizumab.
The median time to onset of all grade CRS from most recent dose of IMDELLTRA was 16 hours (range: start of infusion to 15 days). The median time to onset of Grade ≥ 2 CRS from most recent dose of IMDELLTRA was 15 hours (range: start of infusion to 15 days). Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included pyrexia, hypotension, fatigue, tachycardia, headache, hypoxia, nausea and vomiting. Potentially life-threatening complications of CRS may include cardiac dysfunction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, neurologic toxicity, renal and/or hepatic failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
Administer IMDELLTRA following the recommended step-up dosing and administer concomitant medications before and after Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 1 Day 8 IMDELLTRA infusions as described in Table 3 to reduce the risk of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Administer IMDELLTRA in an appropriate healthcare facility equipped to monitor and manage CRS. Ensure patients are well hydrated prior to administration of IMDELLTRA.
Closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of CRS during treatment with IMDELLTRA. At the first sign of CRS, immediately discontinue IMDELLTRA infusion, evaluate the patient for hospitalization and institute supportive care based on severity. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMDELLTRA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . Counsel patients and caregivers to seek medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur.
5.2Neurologic Toxicity Including ICANS
IMDELLTRA can cause life-threatening or fatal neurologic toxicity including ICANS. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , neurologic toxicity occurred in 65% of patients who received IMDELLTRA, with Grade 3 or higher events in 7% of patients including fatal events in 0.2%. The most frequent neurologic toxicities were dysgeusia (34%), headache (17%), peripheral neuropathy (9%), dizziness (9%), and insomnia (8%).
The incidence of signs and symptoms consistent with ICANS was 10% in IMDELLTRA- treated patients, including events with the preferred terms: ICANs (4.7%), muscular weakness (3.2%), cognitive disorder (0.6%), aphasia (0.6%), depressed level of consciousness (0.4%), seizures (0.4%), encephalopathy (0.4%), and leukoencephalopathy (0.2%). There was one fatal reaction of ICANS [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Recurrent ICANS occurred in 1.5% of patients.
Of the patients who experienced ICANS, most experienced the event following Cycle 1 Day 1 (2.5%) and Cycle 1 Day 8 (3.6%). Following Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15 infusions, 1.3%, 1.3% and 0.4% of patients experienced Grade ≥ 2 ICANS, respectively. ICANS can occur several weeks following administration of IMDELLTRA. The median time to onset of ICANS from the first dose of IMDELLTRA was 16 days (range: 1 to 862 days). The median time to resolution of ICANS was 4 days (range: 1 to 40 days).
The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS. Clinical signs and symptoms of ICANS may include but are not limited to confusional state, depressed level of consciousness, disorientation, somnolence, lethargy, and bradyphrenia. Patients receiving IMDELLTRA are at risk of neurologic adverse reactions and ICANS resulting in depressed level of consciousness. Advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities, such as operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, until neurologic symptoms resolve .
Closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity and ICANS during treatment with IMDELLTRA. At the first sign of ICANS, immediately discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient and provide supportive therapy based on severity. Withhold IMDELLTRA or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .
5.3Cytopenias
IMDELLTRA can cause cytopenias including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. In the pooled safety population, [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] based on laboratory data, decreased neutrophils occurred in 16% of patients, including 9% Grade 3 or 4. The median time to onset for Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count was 41 days (range: 2 to 306 days). Decreased platelets occurred in 30%, including 2.2% Grade 3 or 4.
The median time to onset for Grade 3 or 4 decreased platelets was 67 days (range: 3 to 420 days). Decreased hemoglobin occurred in 56% of patients, including 4.7% Grade 3 or 4. Febrile neutropenia was reported as an adverse event in 1.5% of patients treated with IMDELLTRA. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of cytopenias. Perform complete blood counts prior to treatment with all doses of IMDELLTRA, up through Cycle 5 Day 15 and then prior to administration of IMDELLTRA on Day 1 of each cycle starting with Cycle 6.
Based on the severity of cytopenias, temporarily withhold or permanently discontinue IMDELLTRA [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .
5.4Infections
IMDELLTRA can cause serious infections, including life-threatening and fatal infections. In the pooled safety population, [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , infections including opportunistic infections occurred in 43% of patients who received IMDELLTRA, including 14% Grade 3 or 4. The most frequent infections were pneumonia (11%), urinary tract infection (9%), COVID-19 (6%), upper respiratory tract infection (4.7%), respiratory tract infection (4%), candida infection (2.1%), oral candidiasis (2.1%) and nasopharyngitis (2.1%).
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with IMDELLTRA and treat as clinically indicated. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMDELLTRA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based
on its mechanism of action, IMDELLTRA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on the use of IMDELLTRA in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, a murine surrogate molecule administered intravenously to pregnant mice crossed the placental barrier . Tarlatamab-dlle causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance.
Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and proteins comprising IgG-derived fragment crystallizable (Fc) domains are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, IMDELLTRA has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% - 4% and 15% - 20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with tarlatamab-dlle. In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, a murine surrogate molecule was administered intravenously to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis. The surrogate molecule crossed the placental barrier and did not cause maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal toxicity or teratogenicity.
