`
` schedule to maintain the dosing interval.
`
`
`
`
` 2.5 Recommended Concomitant Medications
`
`
`
` Pre-medication
`
` Administer the following pre-medications 1-3 hours before each dose of DARZALEX FASPRO:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
` Acetaminophen 650 to 1,000 mg orally
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Diphenhydramine 25 to 50 mg (or equivalent) orally or intravenously
` Corticosteroid (long- or intermediate-acting)

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Monotherapy
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Administer methylprednisolone 100 mg (or equivalent) orally or intravenously. Consider reducing the
`
`
`
`
`
` dose of methylprednisolone to 60 mg (or equivalent) following the second dose of DARZALEX
`
`
`
`
`
` FASPRO.
`
`
` In Combination
`
` Administer dexamethasone 20 mg (or equivalent) orally or intravenously prior to every DARZALEX
`
` FASPRO administration.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` When dexamethasone is the background regimen-specific corticosteroid, the dexamethasone dose that is
`
` part of the background regimen will serve as pre-medication on DARZALEX FASPRO administration
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` days [see Clinical Studies (14)].
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Do not administer background regimen-specific corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone) on DARZALEX
`
`
` FASPRO administration days when patients have received dexamethasone (or equivalent) as a pre
`
`
`
`
`
`
` medication.
`
` Post-medication
`
`Administer the following post-medications:
`
`
`
`Monotherapy
`
`Administer methylprednisolone 20 mg (or an equivalent dose of an intermediate- or long-acting
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`corticosteroid) orally for 2 days starting the day after the administration of DARZALEX FASPRO.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In Combination
`
`
`Consider administering oral methylprednisolone at a dose of less than or equal to 20 mg (or an
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`equivalent dose of an intermediate- or long-acting corticosteroid) beginning the day after administration
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of DARZALEX FASPRO.
`
`
`
`If a background regimen-specific corticosteroid (e.g. dexamethasone, prednisone) is administered the
`
`
`
`
`day after the administration of DARZALEX FASPRO, additional corticosteroids may not be needed
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[see Clinical Studies (14)].
`
`
`If the patient does not experience a major systemic administration-related reaction after the first 3 doses of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`DARZALEX FASPRO, consider discontinuing the administration of corticosteroids (excluding any background
`
`
`
`
`
`
`regimen-specific corticosteroid).
`
`
`For patients with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, consider prescribing short and long-acting
`
`
`
`
`
`bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids. Following the first 4 doses of DARZALEX FASPRO, consider
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`discontinuing these additional post-medications, if the patient does not experience a major systemic
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`administration-related reaction.
`
`Prophylaxis for Herpes Zoster Reactivation
`
`
`
`
`
`Initiate antiviral prophylaxis to prevent herpes zoster reactivation within 1 week after starting DARZALEX
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FASPRO and continue for 3 months following the end of treatment [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

` 2.6 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions
`
`
`
`
`
` No dose reductions of DARZALEX FASPRO are recommended. Consider withholding DARZALEX FASPRO
`
`
` to allow recovery of blood cell counts in the event of myelosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3,
`
`
`
`
`
` 5.4)].
`
`
`
`
` Preparation and Administration
` 2.7
` DARZALEX FASPRO should be administered by a healthcare provider.
`
`
`
`
`
`
` To prevent medication errors, check the vial labels to ensure that the drug being prepared and administered is
`
`
`
`
` DARZALEX FASPRO for subcutaneous use. Do not administer DARZALEX FASPRO intravenously.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` DARZALEX FASPRO is ready to use.
`
`
`
`
`
` Preparation
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Remove the DARZALEX FASPRO vial from refrigerated storage [2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)] and
`
`•
`
` equilibrate to ambient temperature [15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F)]. Store the unpunctured vial at ambient
`
`
`
`
`
` temperature and ambient light for a maximum of 24 hours. Keep out of direct sunlight. Do not shake.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Withdraw 15 mL from the vial into a syringe.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` DARZALEX FASPRO
` is compatible with polypropylene or polyethylene syringe material;
`
` polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) subcutaneous infusion sets; and stainless steel
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` transfer and injection needles. Use the product immediately.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` After the solution of DARZALEX FASPRO is withdrawn into the syringe, replace the transfer needle
`
`
`
` with a syringe closing cap. Label the syringe appropriately to include the route of administration per
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` institutional standards. Label the syringe with the peel-off label.
`
`
`
`
` To avoid needle clogging, attach the hypodermic injection needle or subcutaneous infusion set to the
`
` syringe immediately prior to injection.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to
`
`
`
` administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use if opaque particles, discoloration or
`
`
`
`
`
` other foreign particles are present.
`
`
`
` Storage
`
`
`
`
`
`If the syringe containing DARZALEX FASPRO is not used immediately, store the DARZALEX
`•
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FASPRO solution for up to 4 hours at ambient temperature and ambient light. Discard after 4 hours, if
`
`not used.
`
`Administration
`into the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen
`Inject 15 mL of DARZALEX FASPRO
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`•
`approximately 3 inches [7.5 cm] to the right or left of the navel over approximately 3-5 minutes.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`No data are available on performing the injection at other sites of the body.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Rotate injection sites for successive injections.
`
`
`
`
`Never inject DARZALEX FASPRO into areas where the skin is red, bruised, tender, hard or areas
`
`
`
`
`where there are scars.
`
`Pause or slow down delivery rate if the patient experiences pain. In the event pain is not alleviated by
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`pausing or slowing down delivery rate, a second injection site may be chosen on the opposite side of the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`abdomen to deliver the remainder of the dose.

`
`
`
` DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
` Injection: 1,800 mg daratumumab and 30,000 units hyaluronidase per 15 mL (120 mg and 2,000 units/mL)
`
`
`
`
`
`
` colorless to yellow and clear to opalescent solution in a single-dose vial.
`
`
`
`
`
`
` 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` DARZALEX FASPRO is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity to daratumumab,
`
`
`
` hyaluronidase or any of the components of the formulation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse
`
`
`
`
` Reactions (6.3)].
`
`
`
`
` 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`
`
` 5.1 Hypersensitivity and Other Administration Reactions
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Both systemic administration-related reactions, including severe or life-threatening reactions, and local
`
`
`
`injection-site reactions can occur with DARZALEX FASPRO. Fatal reactions have been reported with
`
`
`
`
`
`
`daratumumab-containing products, including DARAZLEX FASPRO [see Adverse Reactions (6.3)].
`
`
`
`
`Systemic Reactions
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In a pooled safety population of 832 patients with multiple myeloma (N=639) or light chain (AL) amyloidosis
`(N=193) who received DARZALEX FASPRO as monotherapy or as part of a combination therapy, 9% of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`patients experienced a systemic administration-related reaction (Grade 2: 3.5%, Grade 3: 0.8%). Systemic
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`administration-related reactions occurred in 8% of patients with the first injection, 0.4% with the second
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`injection, and cumulatively 1% with subsequent injections. The median time to onset was 3.2 hours (range:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`9 minutes to 3.5 days). Of the 129 systemic administration-related reactions that occurred in 74 patients,
`110 (85%) occurred on the day of DARZALEX FASPRO administration. Delayed systemic administration-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`related reactions have occurred in 1% of the patients.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Severe reactions included hypoxia, dyspnea, hypertension and tachycardia. Other signs and symptoms of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`systemic administration-related reactions may include respiratory symptoms, such as bronchospasm, nasal
`
`
`
`
`
`
`congestion, cough, throat irritation, allergic rhinitis, and wheezing, as well as anaphylactic reaction, pyrexia,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`chest pain, pruritus, chills, vomiting, nausea, and hypotension.
`
`
`
`
`
`Pre-medicate patients with histamine-1 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen and corticosteroids [see Dosage and
`
`
`
`
`
`Administration (2.5)]. Monitor patients for systemic administration-related reactions, especially following the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`first and second injections. For anaphylactic reaction or life-threatening (Grade 4) administration-related
`
`
`
`
`
`reactions,
`immediately and permanently discontinue DARZALEX FASPRO. Consider administering
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`corticosteroids and other medications after the administration of DARZALEX FASPRO depending on dosing
`
`
`
`
`
`regimen and medical history to minimize the risk of delayed (defined as occurring the day after administration)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`systemic administration-related reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Local Reactions
`
`
`In this pooled safety population, injection-site reactions occurred in 8% of patients, including Grade 2 reactions
`
`
`
`
`in 0.6%. The most frequent (>1%) injection-site reaction was injection site erythema. These local reactions
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`occurred a median of 5.5 minutes (range: 0 minutes to 6.5 days) after starting administration of DARZALEX
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FASPRO. Monitor for local reactions and consider symptomatic management.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` 5.2 Cardiac Toxicity in Patients with Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis
` Serious or fatal cardiac adverse reactions occurred in patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis who received
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`DARZALEX FASPRO in combination with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone [see Adverse
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Reactions (6.1)]. Serious cardiac disorders occurred in 16% and fatal cardiac disorders occurred in 10% of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`patients. Patients with NYHA Class IIIA or Mayo Stage IIIA disease may be at greater risk. Patients with
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`NYHA Class IIIB or IV disease were not studied.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Monitor patients with cardiac involvement of light chain (AL) amyloidosis more frequently for cardiac adverse
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`reactions and administer supportive care as appropriate.
`
`
`
`
`
`5.3 Neutropenia
`
`
`Daratumumab may increase neutropenia induced by background therapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Monitor complete blood cell counts periodically during treatment according to manufacturer’s prescribing
`
`
`
`information for background therapies. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Consider
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`withholding DARZALEX FASPRO until recovery of neutrophils. In lower body weight patients receiving
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`DARZALEX FASPRO, higher rates of Grade 3-4 neutropenia were observed.
`
`
`
`
`
`5.4
`Thrombocytopenia
`
`
`Daratumumab may increase thrombocytopenia induced by background therapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Monitor complete blood cell counts periodically during treatment according to manufacturer’s prescribing
`
`
`
`
`information for background therapies. Consider withholding DARZALEX FASPRO until recovery of platelets.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`5.5 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
`
`
`
`Based on the mechanism of action, DARZALEX FASPRO can cause fetal harm when administered to a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`pregnant woman. DARZALEX FASPRO may cause depletion of fetal immune cells and decreased bone
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`density. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females with reproductive potential to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`use effective contraception during treatment with DARZALEX FASPRO and for 3 months after the last dose
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
`
`The combination of DARZALEX FASPRO with lenalidomide, thalidomide or pomalidomide is contraindicated
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`in pregnant women, because lenalidomide, thalidomide or pomalidomide may cause birth defects and death of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the unborn child. Refer to the lenalidomide, thalidomide or pomalidomide prescribing information on use
`
`
`
`
`
`during pregnancy.
`
`Interference with Serological Testing
`5.6
`
`
`
`
`Daratumumab binds to CD38 on red blood cells (RBCs) and results in a positive Indirect Antiglobulin Test
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(Indirect Coombs test). Daratumumab-mediated positive indirect antiglobulin test may persist for up to
`
`
`
`
`6 months after the last daratumumab administration. Daratumumab bound to RBCs masks detection of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`antibodies to minor antigens in the patient’s serum [see References (15)]. The determination of a patient’s ABO
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and Rh blood type are not impacted [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
`
`
`
`
`
`Notify blood transfusion centers of this interference with serological testing and inform blood banks that a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`patient has received DARZALEX FASPRO. Type and screen patients prior to starting DARZALEX FASPRO
`
`
`
`
`
`[see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
`
`
`
`5.7
`Interference with Determination of Complete Response
`
`
`
`
`Daratumumab is a human IgG kappa monoclonal antibody that can be detected on both the serum protein
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`electrophoresis (SPE) and immunofixation (IFE) assays used for the clinical monitoring of endogenous M-

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
` protein [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. This interference can impact the determination of complete response and
`
` of disease progression in some DARZALEX FASPRO-treated patients with IgG kappa myeloma protein.
