Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Isatuximab-irfc is an IgG1-derived monoclonal antibody that binds to CD38 expressed on the surface of hematopoietic and tumor cells, including multiple myeloma cells. Isatuximab-irfc induces apoptosis of tumor cells and activation of immune effector mechanisms including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Isatuximab-irfc inhibits the ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity of CD38. Isatuximab-irfc can activate natural killer (NK) cells in the absence of CD38-positive target tumor cells and suppresses CD38-positive T-regulatory cells. The combination of isatuximab-irfc and pomalidomide enhanced ADCC activity and direct tumor cell killing compared to that of isatuximab-irfc alone in vitro, and enhanced antitumor activity compared to the activity of isatuximab-irfc or pomalidomide alone in a human multiple myeloma xenograft model. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics In multiple myeloma patients treated with SARCLISA combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone, a decrease in absolute counts of total NK cells (including inflammatory CD16+ low CD56+ bright and cytotoxic CD16+ bright CD56+ dim NK cells) and CD19+ B cells was observed in peripheral blood. Cardiac Electrophysiology Up to 2 times the approved recommended dose, SARCLISA does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent. Reference ID: 4568826 11 A relationship between isatuximab-irfc exposure and overall response rate and progression-free survival was observed. No apparent relationship was observed between an increase of isatuximab-irfc exposure and adverse reactions. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following the administration of isatuximab-irfc at the recommended dose and schedule, the steady state isatuximab-irfc mean (CV %) predicted maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 351 µg/mL (36.0%) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was 72,600 µg·h/mL (51.7%). The median time to reach steady state of isatuximab-irfc was 8 weeks with a 3.1-fold accumulation. Isatuximab-irfc AUC increases in a greater than dose proportional manner over a dosage range from 1 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg (0.1 to 2 times the approved recommended dosage) every 2 weeks. Isatuximab-irfc AUC increases proportionally over a dosage range from 5 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg (0.5 to 2 times the approved recommended dosage) every week for 4 weeks followed by every 2 weeks.
Distribution The mean (CV %) predicted total volume of distribution of isatuximab-irfc is of 8.13 L (26.2%).
Metabolism Isatuximab-irfc is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.
Elimination Isatuximab-irfc total clearance decreased with increasing dose and with multiple doses. At steady state, the near elimination (=99%) of isatuximab-irfc from plasma after the last dose is predicted to occur in approximately 2 months. The elimination of isatuximab-irfc was similar when given as a single agent or as combination therapy.
Specific Populations Isatuximab-irfc exposure (AUC) at steady state decreases with increasing body weight. The following factors have no clinically meaningful effect on the exposure of isatuximab-irfc: age (36 to 85 years, 70 patients were >75 years old), sex, race (Caucasian, Black, Asian), renal impairment (eGFR<90 mL/min/1.73 m2 ), and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 times upper limit of normal [ULN] or aspartate amino transferase [AST] > ULN). The effect of moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 times to 3 times ULN and any AST) and severe (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment on isatuximab-irfc pharmacokinetics is unknown.
No dose adjustments are recommended in these specific patient populations.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity and genotoxicity studies have not been conducted with isatuximab-irfc. Fertility studies have not been conducted with isatuximab-irfc.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES Reference ID: 4568826 12 14.1 Multiple Myeloma ICARIA-MM The efficacy and safety of SARCLISA in combination with pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (Isa-Pd) were evaluated in ICARIA-MM (NCT02990338), a multicenter, multinational, randomized, open-label, 2-arm, phase 3 study in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Patients had received at least two prior therapies including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. A total of 307 patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either SARCLISA in combination with pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (Isa-Pd, 154 patients) or pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (Pd, 153 patients). Treatment was administered in both groups in 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. SARCLISA 10 mg/kg was administered as an intravenous infusion weekly in the first cycle and every two weeks thereafter. Pomalidomide 4 mg was taken orally once daily from day 1 to day 21 of each 28-day cycle. Low-dose dexamethasone (orally or intravenously) 40 mg (20 mg for patients =75 years of age) was given on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 for each 28-day cycle. Overall, demographic and disease characteristics at baseline were similar between the two treatment groups. The median patient age was 67 years (range 36-86), 20% of patients were =75 years; 10% of patients entered the study with a history of COPD or asthma. The proportion of patients with renal impairment (creatinine clearance <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) was 34%. The International Staging System (ISS) stage at study entry was I in 37%, II in 36% and III in 25% of patients. Overall, 20% of patients had high-risk chromosomal abnormalities at study entry; del(17p), t(4;14) and t(14;16) were present in 12%, 8% and 2% of patients, respectively. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 3 (range 2-11). All patients received a prior proteasome inhibitor, all patients received prior lenalidomide, and 56% of patients received prior stem cell transplantation; the majority of patients (93%) were refractory to lenalidomide, 76% to a proteasome inhibitor, and 73% to both an immunomodulator and a proteasome inhibitor. The median duration of treatment was 41 weeks for Isa-Pd group compared to 24 weeks for Pd group. The efficacy of SARCLISA was based upon progression-free survival (PFS). PFS results were assessed by an Independent Response Committee based on central laboratory data for M-protein and central radiologic imaging review using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. The improvement in PFS represented a 40% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death in patients treated with Isa-Pd. Efficacy results are presented in Table 5 and Kaplan-Meier curve for PFS is provided in Figure 1.

Pregnancy and lactation:
7 In ICARIA-MM, no patients tested positive for antidrug antibodies (ADA). Therefore, the neutralizing ADA status was not determined. Overall, across 6 clinical studies in multiple myeloma (MM) with SARCLISA single agent and combination therapies including ICARIAMM (N=564), the incidence of treatment emergent ADAs was 2.3%. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics, safety, or efficacy of isatuximab-irfc were observed in patients with ADAs.
DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Laboratory Test Interference Interference with Serological Testing SARCLISA, an anti-CD38 antibody, may interfere with blood bank serologic tests with false positive reactions in indirect antiglobulin tests (indirect Coombs tests), antibody detection (screening) tests, antibody identification panels, and antihuman globulin crossmatches in patients treated with SARCLISA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Interference with Serum Protein Electrophoresis and Immunofixation Tests SARCLISA may be incidentally detected by serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation assays used for the monitoring of M-protein and may interfere with accurate response classification based on International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary SARCLISA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The assessment of isatuximab-irfc-associated risks is based on the mechanism of action and data from target antigen CD38 knockout animal models (see Data). There are no available data on SARCLISA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction toxicity studies have not been conducted with isatuximab-irfc. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, miscarriage, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. The combination of SARCLISA and pomalidomide is contraindicated in pregnant women because pomalidomide may cause birth defects and death of the unborn child. Refer to the pomalidomide prescribing information on use during pregnancy. Pomalidomide is only available through a REMS program. Clinical Considerations Fetal/neonatal reactions Immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibodies are known to cross the placenta. Based on its mechanism of action, SARCLISA may cause depletion of fetal CD38-positive immune cells and Reference ID: 4568826 9 decreased bone density. Defer administration of live vaccines to neonates and infants exposed to SARCLISA in utero until a hematology evaluation is completed. Data Animal Data Mice that were genetically modified to eliminate all CD38 expression (CD38 knockout mice) had reduced bone density which recovered 5 months after birth. Data from studies using CD38 knockout animal models also suggest the involvement of CD38 in regulating humoral immune responses (mice), feto-maternal immune tolerance (mice), and early embryonic development (frogs). 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no available data on the presence of isatuximab-irfc in human milk, milk production, or the effects on the breastfed child. Maternal immunoglobulin G is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to SARCLISA are unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child from isatuximab-irfc administered in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with SARCLISA. Refer to pomalidomide prescribing information for additional information. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing With the combination of SARCLISA with pomalidomide, refer to the pomalidomide labeling for pregnancy testing requirements prior to initiating treatment in females of reproductive potential. Contraception Females SARCLISA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 5 months after the last dose of SARCLISA. Additionally, refer to the pomalidomide labeling for contraception requirements prior to initiating treatment in females of reproductive potential. Males Refer to the pomalidomide prescribing information. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of SARCLISA, 53% (306 patients) were 65 and over, while 14% (82 patients) were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between subjects 65 and over and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the adults 65 Reference ID: 4568826 10 years and over and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
10 OVERDOSAGE There is no known specific antidote for SARCLISA overdose. In the event of overdose of SARCLISA, monitor the patients for signs or symptoms of adverse effects and take all appropriate measures immediately. 11 DESCRIPTION Isatuximab-irfc, a CD38-directed cytolytic antibody, is a chimeric immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (mAb). Isatuximab-irfc is produced from a mammalian cell line (Chinese hamster ovary, CHO) using a fed-batch production process. Isatuximab-irfc is composed of two identical immunoglobulin kappa light chains and two identical immunoglobulin gamma heavy chains and has an overall molecular weight of approximately 148 kDa.
