Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including life-threatening or fatal reactions, can occur in patients receiving elranatamab. Initiate treatment with elranatamab step-up dosing schedule to reduce the risk of CRS. Withhold elranatamab until CRS resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity.
Neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and serious and life-threatening reactions, can occur in patients receiving elranatamab. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, during treatment. Withhold elranatamab until the neurologic toxicity resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity.
Because of the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, elranatamab is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called ELREXFIO REMS.
Note: Due to the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), patients should be hospitalized for 48 hours after elranatamab step-up dose 1, and for 24 hours after elranatamab step-up dose 2.
Premedication: Premedicate ~1 hour prior to all doses within the elranatamab step-up dosing schedule to reduce the risk and severity of CRS. Premedication may be necessary prior to subsequent doses in patients who repeat doses within the elranatamab step-up dosing schedule (following a dose delay), or who experienced CRS following the prior elranatamab dose.
Premedication should include a corticosteroid (IV or oral dexamethasone 20 mg or equivalent), a histamine H1 antagonist (oral diphenhydramine 25 mg or equivalent), and antipyretics (oral acetaminophen 650 mg or equivalent).
Prophylaxis: Administer prophylactic antimicrobial and antiviral medications according to clinical practice guidelines. Note: In a clinical study, most patients received antiviral prophylaxis and nearly one-half of patients received prophylaxis against Pneumocystis jirovecii (Ref).
Multiple myeloma, relapsed or refractory:
Day 1 (step-up dose 1): SUBQ: 12 mg once.
Day 4 (step-up dose 2): SUBQ: 32 mg once. Note: A minimum of 2 days should be maintained between step-up dose 1 and step-up dose 2.
Day 8 (first treatment dose): SUBQ: 76 mg once. Note: A minimum of 3 days should be maintained between step-up dose 2 and the first treatment dose.
Weekly dosing schedule: SUBQ: 76 mg once weekly through week 24, starting 1 week after the first treatment dose. Note: A minimum of 6 days should be maintained between treatment doses.
Biweekly (every 2 weeks) dosing schedule (only in patients achieving a partial response or better at 24 weeks with response maintained for ≥2 months): SUBQ: 76 mg once every 2 weeks, starting week 25 and continuing every 2 weeks thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (Ref). Note: A minimum of 6 days should be maintained between treatment doses.

Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Cytokine release syndrome: Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including fatal or life-threatening reactions, may occur with elranatamab therapy; over half of CRS events were grades 1 or 2. Recurrent CRS has also been reported in 13% of patients. Most patients experienced CRS during the step-up doses or with the first treatment dose. A small percentage of patients experienced CRS with subsequent elranatamab doses. The median time to onset of CRS was 2 days (range: 1 to 9 days) after the most recent dose and the median duration was 2 days (range: 1 to 19 days). Clinical signs/symptoms of CRS include (but are not limited to) fever, hypoxia, chills, hypotension, tachycardia, headache, and elevated transaminases. At the first sign of CRS, immediately evaluate patients for hospitalization.
• Hematologic toxicity: Elranatamab may cause neutropenia and febrile neutropenia, including grade 3 or 4 neutropenia in ~50% of patients; febrile neutropenia occurred in a small percentage of patents.
• Hepatotoxicity: Hepatotoxicity may occur with elranatamab. Elevated AST and ALT occurred in over one-third of patients, including grade 3 or 4 elevations; total bilirubin elevations (including grade 3 or 4 events in 0.5% of patients) were also reported. Liver enzyme elevation may occur with or without concurrent CRS.
• Infection: Elranatamab may cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections. Serious infections (including opportunistic infections) occurred in 42% of patients, with grade 3 or 4 infections in approximately one-third of patients; fatal infections were reported in 7% of patients. The most common serious infections in treated patients were pneumonia and sepsis.
• Neurologic toxicity: Elranatamab may cause serious or life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). In a clinical trial, neurologic toxicity occurred in over 50% of patients, with grade 3 or 4 events occurring in some patients. The most common neurologic events were headache, encephalopathy, motor dysfunction, sensory neuropathy, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome. ICANS was observed in ~3.3% of patients, including recurrent events in some; most patients experienced ICANS within the step-up dosing schedule. The median time to onset of ICANS was 3 days (range: 1 to 4 days) after the most recent treatment dose with a median duration of 2 days (range: 1 to 18 days). ICANS may occur with or without the presence of CRS and may occur concurrently with CRS or after the resolution of CRS. Clinical manifestations of ICANS may include (but are not limited to) depressed level of consciousness and declining Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (ICE) scores. Patients are at risk of depressed level of consciousness; advise patients to not drive or operate heavy machinery during and for 48 hours after completion of the step-up dosing schedule and with new onset of any neurologic toxicity symptoms until resolution.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer's labeling.

Verify pregnancy status prior to treatment initiation.
Patients who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 4 months after the last dose of elranatamab.
Elranatamab is a bispecific humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG2) that may cross the placenta. Human IgG crosses the placenta. Fetal exposure is dependent upon the IgG subclass, maternal serum concentrations, placental integrity, newborn birth weight, and gestational age, generally increasing as pregnancy progresses. The lowest exposure would be expected during the period of organogenesis and the highest during the third trimester (Clements 2020; Palmeira 2012; Pentsuk 2009).
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted. Based on the mechanism of action, in utero exposure to elranatamab may cause fetal harm. Pregnancy may be compromised due to activation of the maternal immune system. In addition, newborns exposed to in utero may develop hypogammaglobulinemia; consider monitoring newborn immunoglobulin level.
It is not known if elranatamab is present in breast milk.
Elranatamab is a bispecific humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG2). Human IgG is present in breast milk; concentrations are dependent upon IgG subclass and postpartum age (Anderson 2021).
Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, breastfeeding is not recommended by the manufacturer during treatment and for 4 months after the last dose of elranatamab.
Monitor blood counts, liver enzymes, and bilirubin at baseline and during therapy as clinically indicated. Verify pregnancy status prior to treatment (in patients who could become pregnant).
Due to the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), patients should be hospitalized for 48 hours after elranatamab step-up dose 1, and for 24 hours after elranatamab step-up dose 2. Monitor for CRS (signs/symptoms of CRS may include fever, hypoxia, chills, hypotension, tachycardia, headache, and elevated transaminases) and signs/symptoms of neurologic toxicity. Consider laboratory testing to monitor for disseminated intravascular coagulation, hematology parameters, as well as pulmonary, cardiac, renal, and hepatic function. Monitor for signs/symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment, particularly in patients with neutropenia.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.
Elranatamab is a bispecific, humanized, IgG2-alanine kappa, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed T-cell engaging antibody that binds BCMA (present on plasma cells, plasmablasts, and multiple myeloma cells) and CD3 (present on T cells). Upon binding to both BCMA and CD3, lysis of BCMA-expressing malignant plasma cells by elranatamab occurs via T-cell activation and the release of proinflammatory cytokines (Lesokhin 2023).
