-
Administer MONJUVI as an intravenous infusion1
-
For the first infusion, use an infusion rate of 70 mL/h for the first 30 minutes, then, increase the rate so that the infusion is administered within 1.5 to 2.5 hours1
- In the L-MIND study, after the first 30 minutes, the rate of infusion was increased to 125 mL/h over a 2-hour period2

L-MIND: HEMATOLOGIC TOXICITIES MANAGEMENT AND DOSING MODIFICATIONS1-3
Administer MONJUVI in combination with lenalidomide 25 mg orally for a maximum of 12 cycles, then continue MONJUVI as monotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity1
Refer to the lenalidomide prescribing information for lenalidomide dosing recommendations.1

44% of patients in L-MIND received concomitant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor2

46% of patients (37/80) had at least one dose reduction of lenalidomide2*

78% of patients (62/80) were able to receive a lenalidomide dose of ≥20 mg/day over the duration of their treatment3*
- Permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 25% of patients and permanent discontinuation of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 15%1
- Dosage interruptions of MONJUVI or lenalidomide due to an adverse reaction occurred in 69% of patients and dosage interruption of MONJUVI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 65%1
*81 patients were enrolled; 80 patients received MONJUVI plus lenalidomide and 1 received MONJUVI alone.2

RECOMMENDED PREMEDICATIONS1

Administer premedications 30 minutes to 2 hours prior to starting MONJUVI infusion to minimize IRRs. Premedications may include acetaminophen, histamine H1 receptor antagonists, histamine H2 receptor antagonists, and/or glucocorticosteroids.
For patients not experiencing IRRs during the first 3 infusions, premedication is optional for subsequent infusions.
If a patient experiences an IRR, administer premedications before each subsequent infusion.
For details on dosage modifications and management of adverse reactions for IRRs and myelosuppression, please refer to the full Prescribing Information.

PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF MONJUVI
Reconstitute and dilute MONJUVI prior to infusion1

Reconstitution1
- Calculate the dose (mg) and determine the number of vials needed.
- Reconstitute each 200 mg MONJUVI vial with 5 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP with the stream directed toward the wall of each vial to obtain a final concentration of 40 mg/mL tafasitamab-cxix.
- Gently swirl the vial(s) until completely dissolved. Do not shake or swirl vigorously. Complete dissolution may take up to 5 minutes.
- Visually inspect the reconstituted solution for particulate matter or discoloration. The reconstituted solution should appear as a colorless to slightly yellow solution. Discard the vial(s) if the solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains visible particles.
- Use the reconstituted MONJUVI solution immediately. If needed, store the reconstituted solution in the vial for a maximum of 12 hours either refrigerated at 36 °F to 46 °F (2 °C to 8 °C) or room temperature at 68 °F to 77 °F (20 °C to 25 °C) before dilution. Protect from light during storage.

Dilution1
- Determine the volume (mL) of the 40 mg/mL reconstituted MONJUVI solution needed based on the required dose.
- Remove a volume equal to the required MONJUVI solution from a 250 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP infusion bag and discard it.
- Withdraw the necessary amount of MONJUVI and slowly dilute in the infusion bag that contains the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to a final concentration of 2 mg/mL to 8 mg/mL. Discard any unused portion of MONJUVI remaining in the vial.
- Gently mix the intravenous bag by slowly inverting the bag. Do not shake. Visually inspect the infusion bag with the diluted MONJUVI infusion solution for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
- If not used immediately, store the diluted MONJUVI infusion solution refrigerated for up to 18 hours at 36 °F to 46 °F (2 °C to 8 °C) and/or at room temperature for up to 12 hours at 68 °F to 77 °F (20 °C to 25 °C). The room temperature storage includes time for infusion. Protect from light during storage.
Do not shake or freeze the reconstituted or diluted infusion solutions.

Administration

-
For the first infusion, use an infusion rate of 70 mL/h for the first 30 minutes, then, increase the rate so that the infusion is administered within 1.5 to 2.5 hours1
- In the L-MIND study, after the first 30 minutes, the rate of infusion was increased to 125 mL/h over a 2-hour period2
- Administer all subsequent infusions within 1.5 to 2 hours1
- In the L-MIND study, vital signs were measured immediately prior to infusion, at 15 minutes (+/- 5 minutes), 30 minutes (+/- 10 minutes), every 60 minutes (+/- 15 minutes), and at the end of the infusion (+/- 20 minutes)2
-
For the first infusion, use an infusion rate of 70 mL/h for the first 30 minutes, then, increase the rate so that the infusion is administered within 1.5 to 2.5 hours1
