5 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ON-BODY INJECTOR FOR NEULASTA (PEGFILGRASTIM) NEULASTA (PEGFILGRASTIM) IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION A healthcare provider must fill the On-body Injector with Neulasta using the co-packaged prefilled syringe and then apply the On-body Injector for Neulasta to the patient s skin (abdomen or back of arm). The back of the arm may only be used if there is a caregiver available to monitor the status of the On-body Injector for Neulasta. Approximately 27 hours after the On-body Injector for Neulasta is applied to the patient s skin, Neulasta will be delivered over approximately 45 minutes. A healthcare provider may initiate administration with the On-body Injector for Neulasta on the same day as the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy, as long as the On-body Injector for Neulasta delivers Neulasta no less than 24 hours after the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy. The prefilled syringe co-packaged in the Neulasta Delivery Kit contains additional solution to compensate for liquid loss during delivery through the On-body Injector for Neulasta. If this syringe is used for manual subcutaneous injection, the patient will receive an overdose. If the prefilled syringe for manual use is used with the On-body Injector for Neulasta, the patient may receive less than the recommended dose. Do not use the On-body Injector for Neulasta to deliver any other drug product except the Neulasta prefilled syringe co-packaged with the On-body Injector for Neulasta. The On-body Injector for Neulasta should be applied to intact, non-irritated skin on the arm or abdomen. A missed dose could occur due to an On-body Injector for Neulasta failure or leakage. If the patient misses a dose, a new dose should be administered by single prefilled syringe for manual use as soon as possible after detection. Review the Patient Information and Patient Instructions for Use with the patient and provide the instructions to the patient. Refer to the Healthcare Provider Instructions for Use for the On-body Injector for Neulasta for full administration information. For any On-body Injector for Neulasta problems, call Amgen at or MYNEULASTA ( ). Neulasta is administered by subcutaneous injection. Contraindication Do not administer Neulasta to patients with a history of serious allergic reactions to pegfilgrastim or filgrastim. Splenic Rupture Splenic rupture, including fatal cases, can occur following the administration of Neulasta. Evaluate for an enlarged spleen or splenic rupture in patients who report left upper abdominal or shoulder pain after receiving Neulasta. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can occur in patients receiving Neulasta. Evaluate patients who develop fever and lung infiltrates or respiratory distress after receiving Neulasta for ARDS. Discontinue Neulasta in patients with ARDS. Serious Allergic Reactions Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur in patients receiving Neulasta. The majority of reported events occurred upon initial exposure. Allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can recur within days after the discontinuation of initial anti-allergic treatment. Permanently discontinue Neulasta in patients with serious allergic reactions. Allergies to Acrylics The On-body Injector for Neulasta uses acrylic adhesive. For patients who have reactions to acrylic adhesives, use of this product may result in a significant reaction. Use in Patients With Sickle Cell Disorders Severe sickle cell crises can occur in patients with sickle cell disorders receiving Neulasta. Severe and sometimes fatal sickle cell crises can occur in patients with sickle cell disorders receiving filgrastim, the parent compound of pegfilgrastim. Potential for Tumor Growth Stimulatory Effects on Malignant Cells The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor, through which pegfilgrastim and filgrastim act, has been found on tumor cell lines. The possibility that pegfilgrastim acts as a growth factor for any tumor type, including myeloid malignancies and myelodysplasia, diseases for which pegfilgrastim is not approved, cannot be excluded. The most common adverse reactions ( 5% difference in incidence) in placebo-controlled clinical trials are bone pain and pain in extremity.

Glomerulonephritis Glomerulonephritis has occurred in patients receiving. The diagnoses were based upon azotemia, hematuria (microscopic and macroscopic), proteinuria, and renal biopsy. Generally, events of glomerulonephritis resolved after dose reduction or discontinuation of. If causality is likely, consider dose-reduction or interruption of. Capillary Leak Syndrome Capillary leak syndrome has been reported after G-CSF administration, including, and is characterized by hypotension, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hemoconcentration. Episodes vary in frequency, severity, and may be life-threatening if treatment is delayed. Patients who develop symptoms of capillary leak syndrome should be closely monitored and receive standard symptomatic treatment, which may include the need for intensive care. Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia has been reported in patients receiving. Monitor platelet counts. Please see accompanying Prescribing Information. Leukocytosis White blood cell counts of 100,000/mm 3 were observed in about 2% of patients with cancer receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy who received at dosages > 5 mcg/kg/day. It is recommended to monitor CBCs at least twice weekly, and adjust dosing as clinically indicated to help mitigate risk of leukocytosis. Dosages of that increase the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) beyond /mm 3 may not result in any additional clinical benefit. Discontinuation of therapy usually resulted in a 50% decrease in circulating neutrophils within 1 to 2 days with a return to pretreatment levels in 1 to 7 days. Cutaneous Vasculitis Cutaneous vasculitis has been reported in patients treated with. In most cases the severity of cutaneous vasculitis was moderate or severe. Most of the reports involved patients with severe chronic neutropenia (SCN) receiving long-term therapy. Hold therapy in patients with cutaneous vasculitis. may be started at a reduced dose when the symptoms resolve and the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) has decreased. Potential Effect on Malignant Cells The granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor through which filgrastim acts has also been found on tumor cell lines. The possibility that acts as a growth factor for any tumor type, including myeloid malignancies and myelodysplasia, cannot be excluded. Simultaneous Use with Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Not Recommended The safety and efficacy of given simultaneously with cytotoxic chemotherapy have not been established. Do not use in the period 24 hours before or after the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy. The safety and efficacy of have not been evaluated in patients receiving concurrent radiation therapy. Avoid the simultaneous use of with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Nuclear Imaging Increased hematopoietic activity of the bone marrow in response to growth factor therapy has been associated with transient positive bone-imaging changes. This should be considered when interpreting bone-imaging results. The most common adverse reactions ( 5% difference in incidence, compared to placebo) are anemia, constipation, diarrhea, oral pain, vomiting, asthenia, malaise, edema peripheral, hemoglobin decreased, decreased appetite, oropharyngeal pain, and alopecia.
