Grade 3 and higher adverse reactions that occurred during Cycles 1-12 with a substantial difference (≥ 2%) between the two arms were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypokalemia, and hypophosphatemia. Laboratory Abnormalities Decreased Lymphocytes There is no information regarding the presence of Kyprolis in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Kyprolis and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Kyprolis or from the underlying maternal condition. Kyprolis can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception measures to prevent pregnancy during treatment with Kyprolis and for at least 2 weeks following completion of therapy. Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Kyprolis in pediatric patients have not been established. Geriatric Use Of 392 patients treated with Kyprolis in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, 185 patients (47%) were ≥ 65 years of age and 43 patients (11%) were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these and younger patients. The incidence of serious adverse events was 50% in patients ≤ 65 years of age, 70% in patients 65 to 74 years of age, and 74% in patients ≥ 75 years of age. Renal Impairment No starting dose adjustment is required in patients with baseline mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment or patients on chronic dialysis based on a phase 2 pharmacokinetic and safety trial of Kyprolis. The pharmacokinetics of Kyprolis was not influenced by the degree of baseline renal impairment, including when patients were receiving dialysis. Administer KYPROLIS after the dialysis procedure. Hepatic Impairment The safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of Kyprolis have not been evaluated in patients with baseline hepatic impairment. Patients with the following laboratory values were excluded from the Kyprolis clinical trials: ALT/AST ≥ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and bilirubin ≥ 2 × ULN. Cardiac Impairment Safety of patients with New York Heart Association Class III and IV heart failure or recent myocardial infarction (within 3 to 6 months) has not been evaluated. OVERDOSE Acute onset of chills, hypotension, renal insufficiency, thrombocytopenia and lymphopenia has been reported following a dose of 200 mg of Kyprolis administed in error. There is no specific antidote for Kyprolis overdosage. In the event of overdose, the patient should be monitored, specifically for the adverse reactions in the adverse reaction section. Grade 3–4 Laboratory Abnormalities ( ≥ 10%) in Cycles 1-12 (Combination Therapy) Laboratory Abnormality Lactation Contraception Nervous System Disorders Peripheral Neuropathies NECb during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking Kyprolis, advise the patient of the potential hazard to the fetus.
