Elahere Prescribing Information
- ELAHERE can cause severe ocular toxicities, including visual impairment, keratopathy, dry eye, photophobia, eye pain, and uveitis[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 Ocular Disorders
ELAHERE can cause severe ocular adverse reactions, including visual impairment, keratopathy (corneal disorders), dry eye, photophobia, eye pain, and uveitis.
Ocular adverse reactions occurred in 59% of patients with ovarian cancer treated with ELAHERE. Eleven percent (11%) of patients experienced Grade 3 ocular adverse reactions, including blurred vision, keratopathy (corneal disorders), dry eye, cataract, photophobia, and eye pain; two patients (0.3%) experienced Grade 4 events (keratopathy and cataract). The most common (≥5%) ocular adverse reactions were blurred vision (48%), keratopathy (36%), dry eye (27%), cataract (16%), photophobia (14%), and eye pain (10%).
[see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].The median time to onset for first ocular adverse reaction was 5.1 weeks (range: 0.1 to 68.6). Of the patients who experienced ocular events, 53% had complete resolution; 38% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade) at last follow up. Ocular adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of ELAHERE in 1% of patients.
Premedication and use of lubricating and ophthalmic topical steroid eye drops during treatment with ELAHERE are recommended
[seeDosage and Administration (2.3)].Advise patients to avoid use of contact lenses during treatment with ELAHERE unless directed by a healthcare provider.Refer patients to an eye care professional for an ophthalmic exam including visual acuity and slit lamp exam prior to treatment initiation, every other cycle for the first 8 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Promptly refer patients to an eye care professional for any new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms.
Monitor for ocular toxicity and withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue ELAHERE based on severity and persistence of ocular adverse reactions.
[see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].) and Adverse Reactions (6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The pooled safety population described in Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to ELAHERE in 682 patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer at 6 mg/kg AIBW administered intravenously once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in Study 0416, Study 0417, Study 0403 (NCT02631876), and Study 0401 (NCT01609556). The median duration of treatment was 4.4 months (range: 1.0 to 30.0). In the pooled safety population, the most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were increased aspartate aminotransferase, fatigue, increased alanine aminotransferase, blurred vision, nausea, increased alkaline phosphatase, diarrhea, abdominal pain, keratopathy, peripheral neuropathy, musculoskeletal pain, decreased lymphocytes, decreased platelets, decreased magnesium, decreased hemoglobin, dry eye, constipation, decreased leukocytes, vomiting, decreased albumin, decreased appetite, and decreased neutrophils.
Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal CancerStudy 0416The safety of ELAHERE was evaluated in Study 0416, a multicenter, open-label, active-controlled, randomized, two-arm, study in patients (n=453) with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
[see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received ELAHERE 6 mg/kg AIBW once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment was 5 months (range: 0.69 to 27.4).Serious adverse reactions occurred in 24% of patients treated with ELAHERE. The most common (≥2%) serious adverse reactions were intestinal obstruction (5%), abdominal pain (3%), and pleural effusion (3%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3% of patients, including intestinal obstruction, dyspnea in the setting of subileus, neutropenic sepsis, cardiopulmonary failure, respiratory failure, ischemic stroke, and pulmonary embolus.
Permanent discontinuation of ELAHERE due to adverse reactions occurred in 9% of patients. The most common (≥1%) adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were pneumonitis (2%), blurred vision (1%), and peripheral neuropathy (1%).
Dosage delays of ELAHERE due to an adverse reaction occurred in 54% of patients treated with ELAHERE. Adverse reactions which required dosage delays in ≥3% of patients included blurred vision (22%), keratopathy (19%), dry eye (7%), neutropenia (6%), pneumonitis (6%), photophobia (5%), cataract (4%), and peripheral neuropathy (4%).

ELAHERE® is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with folate receptor-alpha (FRα) positive, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens. Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved test
Select patients for the treatment of platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with ELAHERE based on the presence of FRα tumor expression
Information on FDA-approved tests for the measurement of FRα tumor expression is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.
- Administer ELAHERE as an intravenous infusion only after dilution in 5% Dextrose Injection, USP. ELAHERE is incompatible with normal saline. ()2.5 Instructions for Preparation and AdministrationPreparation
- ELAHERE is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures1.
- Calculate the dose (mg) (based on the patient’s AIBW), total volume (mL) of solution required, and the number of vials of ELAHERE needed[see Recommended Dosage (2.2) and Dose Modifications (2.4)]. More than one vial will be needed for a full dose.
- Remove the vials of ELAHERE from the refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature.
- Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. ELAHERE is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless solution.
- Gently swirl and inspect each vial prior to withdrawing the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE.Do not shakethe vial.
- Using aseptic technique, withdraw the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE for subsequent dilution.
- ELAHERE contains no preservatives and is intended for single-dose only. Discard any unused drug remaining in the vial.
Dilution- ELAHERE must be diluted prior to administration with 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL to 2 mg/mL.
- ELAHERE is incompatible with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection. ELAHERE must not be mixed with any other drugs or intravenous fluids.
- Determine the volume of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP required to achieve the final diluted drug concentration. Either remove excess 5% Dextrose Injection, USP from a prefilled intravenous bag or add the calculated volume of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to a sterile empty intravenous bag. Then add the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE to the intravenous bag.
- Gently mix the diluted drug solution by slowly inverting the bag several times to assure uniform mixing.Do not shake or agitate.
• If the diluted infusion solution is not used immediately, store solution either at ambient temperature [(18°C to 25°C (64.4°F to 77°F)] for no more than 8 hours (including infusion time), or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no more than 24 hours. If refrigerated, allow the infusion bag to reach room temperature prior to administration. After refrigeration, administer diluted infusion solutions within 8 hours (including infusion time).- Do not freezeprepared infusion solution.
Administration- Inspect the ELAHERE intravenous infusion bag visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
- Administer pre-medications prior to ELAHERE administration[see Premedication and Prophylactic Regimen (2.3)].
- Administer ELAHERE as an intravenous infusion only, using a 0.2 or 0.22 µm polyethersulfone (PES) in-line filter. Do not substitute other membrane materials.
- Administer the initial dose as an intravenous infusion at the rate of 1 mg/min. If well tolerated after 30 minutes at 1 mg/min, the infusion rate can be increased to 3 mg/min. If well tolerated after 30 minutes at 3 mg/min, the infusion rate can be increased to 5 mg/min.
- If no infusion-related reactions occur with the previous dose, subsequent infusions should be started at the maximally tolerated rate and may be increased up to a maximum infusion rate of 5 mg/min, as tolerated.
- Following the infusion, flush the intravenous line with 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to ensure delivery of the full dose. Do not use any other intravenous fluids for flushing.
- ELAHERE is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures1.
- The recommended dose of ELAHERE is 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight administered as an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ()2.2 Recommended Dosage
The recommended dosage of ELAHERE is 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight (AIBW) administered once every 3 weeks (21-day cycle) as an intravenous infusion until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
[see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].Dosing based on AIBW reduces exposure variability for patients who are either under or overweight.The total dose of ELAHERE is calculated based on each patient’s AIBW using the following formula:
AIBW = Ideal Body Weight (IBW [kg]) + 0.4*(Actual weight [kg] – IBW)
Female IBW [kg] = 0.9*height[cm] – 92
- Premedicate with a corticosteroid, antihistamine, and antipyretic. ()2.3 Premedication and Required Eye CarePremedication
Administer the premedications in Table 1 prior to each infusion of ELAHERE to reduce the incidence and severity of infusion related reactions (IRRs), nausea, and vomiting.

Ocular adverse reactions occurred in 59% of patients with ovarian cancer treated with ELAHERE. Eleven percent (11%) of patients experienced Grade 3 ocular adverse reactions, including blurred vision, keratopathy (corneal disorders), dry eye, cataract, photophobia, and eye pain; two patients (0.3%) experienced Grade 4 events (keratopathy and cataract). The most common (≥5%) ocular adverse reactions were blurred vision (48%), keratopathy (36%), dry eye (27%), cataract (16%), photophobia (14%), and eye pain (10%).
[see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].The median time to onset for first ocular adverse reaction was 5.1 weeks (range: 0.1 to 68.6). Of the patients who experienced ocular events, 53% had complete resolution; 38% had partial improvement (defined as a decrease in severity by one or more grades from the worst grade) at last follow up. Ocular adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of ELAHERE in 1% of patients.
Premedication and use of lubricating and ophthalmic topical steroid eye drops during treatment with ELAHERE are recommended
[seeDosage and Administration (2.3)].Advise patients to avoid use of contact lenses during treatment with ELAHERE unless directed by a healthcare provider.Refer patients to an eye care professional for an ophthalmic exam including visual acuity and slit lamp exam prior to treatment initiation, every other cycle for the first 8 cycles, and as clinically indicated. Promptly refer patients to an eye care professional for any new or worsening ocular signs and symptoms.
Monitor for ocular toxicity and withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue ELAHERE based on severity and persistence of ocular adverse reactions.

2.5 Instructions for Preparation and AdministrationPreparation- ELAHERE is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures1.
- Calculate the dose (mg) (based on the patient’s AIBW), total volume (mL) of solution required, and the number of vials of ELAHERE needed[see Recommended Dosage (2.2) and Dose Modifications (2.4)]. More than one vial will be needed for a full dose.
- Remove the vials of ELAHERE from the refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature.
- Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. ELAHERE is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless solution.
- Gently swirl and inspect each vial prior to withdrawing the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE.Do not shakethe vial.
- Using aseptic technique, withdraw the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE for subsequent dilution.
- ELAHERE contains no preservatives and is intended for single-dose only. Discard any unused drug remaining in the vial.
Dilution- ELAHERE must be diluted prior to administration with 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL to 2 mg/mL.
- ELAHERE is incompatible with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection. ELAHERE must not be mixed with any other drugs or intravenous fluids.
- Determine the volume of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP required to achieve the final diluted drug concentration. Either remove excess 5% Dextrose Injection, USP from a prefilled intravenous bag or add the calculated volume of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to a sterile empty intravenous bag. Then add the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE to the intravenous bag.
- Gently mix the diluted drug solution by slowly inverting the bag several times to assure uniform mixing.Do not shake or agitate.
• If the diluted infusion solution is not used immediately, store solution either at ambient temperature [(18°C to 25°C (64.4°F to 77°F)] for no more than 8 hours (including infusion time), or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no more than 24 hours. If refrigerated, allow the infusion bag to reach room temperature prior to administration. After refrigeration, administer diluted infusion solutions within 8 hours (including infusion time).- Do not freezeprepared infusion solution.
