  1. Dosage/Administration 1

Indication

Dose

 

B-Cell Precursor ALL

Lymphodepleting chemotherapy:

  • Administer fludarabine (30 mg/m2 intravenous daily for 4 days) and cyclophosphamide (500 mg/m2 intravenous daily for 2 days starting with the first dose of fludarabine).

Kymriah Infusion:

  • Infuse 2 to 14 days after completion of lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
  • Kymriah is provided in a single-dose unit containing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-positive viable T cells* based on the patient weight reported at the time of leukapheresis:
  • Patients ≤ 50 kg: administer 0.2 to 5.0 x 106 CAR-positive viable T cells per kg body weight
  • Patients > 50 kg: administer 0.1 to 2.5 x 108 CAR-positive viable T cells

 

B-Cell Lymphomas

Lymphodepleting chemotherapy (lymphodepleting chemotherapy may be omitted if a patient’s white blood cell [WBC] count is less than 1 x 109/L within 1 week prior to Kymriah infusion):

  • Administer fludarabine (25 mg/m2 intravenous daily for 3 days) and cyclophosphamide (250 mg/m2 intravenous daily for 3 days starting with the first dose of fludarabine); OR
  • Administer bendamustine (90 mg/m2 intravenous daily for 2 days) if the patient experienced a previous Grade 4 hemorrhagic cystitis with cyclophosphamide or demonstrates resistance to a previous cyclophosphamide containing regimen

Kymriah infusion:

  • Follicular Lymphoma: Infuse 2 to 6 days after completion of lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
  • All other B-Cell Lymphomas: Infuse 2 to 11 days after completion of lymphodepleting chemotherapy.

  • Administer 0.6 to 6.0 x 108 CAR-positive viable T cells

 

For autologous use only. For intravenous use only.

  • Kymriah is prepared from the patient’s peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which are obtained via a standard leukapheresis procedure.
  • One treatment course consists of lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by a single infusion of Kymriah.
  • Confirm Kymriah availability prior to starting the lymphodepleting regimen.
  • Confirm the patient’s identity with the patient identifiers on each KYMRIAH infusion bag(s).
  • Delay the infusion of Kymriah after lymphodepleting chemotherapy for unresolved serious adverse reactions from preceding chemotherapies (including pulmonary toxicity, cardiac toxicity, or hypotension), active uncontrolled infection, active graft versus host disease (GVHD), or worsening of leukemia burden.

Premedication:

  • Premedicate with acetaminophen and diphenhydramine (or another H1-antihistamine) 30-60 minutes prior to infusion. Avoid prophylactic system corticosteroids which may interfere with Kymriah activity.

Monitoring after infusion:

  • Monitor patients 2-3 times during the first week following KYMRIAH infusion at the certified healthcare facility for signs and symptoms of CRS and neurologic toxicities.
  • Instruct patients to remain within proximity of the certified healthcare facility for at least 4 weeks following infusion.
  • Instruct patients to refrain from driving or hazardous activities for at least 8 weeks following infusion.
  • *See the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for the actual number of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-positive T cells in the product.
  • Store infusion bag(s) in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen (less than or equal to minus 120°C) in a temperature-monitored system. Thaw prior to infusion.
  • In case of manufacturing failure, a second manufacturing may be attempted.
  • Additional bridging chemotherapy may be necessary between leukapheresis and lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
  • Tocilizumab must be available on site prior to infusion if needed for the treatment of CRS (2 doses minimum)
  • Biosafety guidelines must be followed. Product contains human cells genetically modified with a lentivirus. Employ universal precautions when handling.
