Dosage & Administration
Important Administration Instructions ADSTILADRIN is for intravesical instillation only. ADSTILADRIN is not for intravenous use, topical use, or oral administration. Premedication with an anticholinergic is recommended before each instillation of ADSTILADRIN. ( 2.1 ) Administer ADSTILADRIN by intravesical instillation only. ( 2.1 ) ADSTILADRIN is not for intravenous use, topical use, or oral administration. The dose is 75 mL of ADSTILADRIN at a concentration of 3 x 10 11 viral particles (vp)/mL, instilled once every three (3) months. ( 2.1 ) Allow ADSTILADRIN to be left in the bladder for 1 hour following instillation 2.1 Dose The recommended dose of ADSTILADRIN is 75 mL at a concentration of 3 x 10 11 viral particles (vp)/mL instilled once every three (3) months into the bladder via a urinary catheter [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Premedication with an anticholinergic is recommended before each instillation of ADSTILADRIN. 2.2 Preparation and Handling ADSTILADRIN is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based gene therapy. Follow universal biosafety precautions for handling. Individuals who are immunosuppressed or immune-deficient, should not prepare, administer, or come into contact with ADSTILADRIN [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ) ]. ADSTILADRIN is provided as a sterile frozen suspension. All four vials of ADSTILADRIN must be thawed and brought to room temperature (20°C to 25°C [68°F to 77°F]) prior to use. WHEN THAWING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE Frozen ADSTILADRIN vials will thaw in approximately 3 to 5 hours outside the cardboard nest when placed at room temperature (up to 25°C [77ºF]) (8 to 10 hours inside the nest). WHEN THAWING IN REFRIGERATOR Frozen ADSTILADRIN vials will thaw in approximately 4 to 5 hours outside the cardboard nest when placed in the refrigerator (up to 8°C [46ºF]) (11 to 13 hours inside the nest). Subsequent time for bringing thawed ADSTILADRIN to room temperature is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes outside of the cardboard nest (6 hours inside the nest). Do not expose the vials to higher temperatures. Protect from light. DO NOT refreeze. The vials may be moved between refrigerator and room temperature if the total storage time at each condition is not exceeded (24 hours at room temperature and 7 days refrigerated including thawing time). Inspection and Preparing ADSTILADRIN for instillation Visually inspect all 4 vials for visible particles and discoloration. The suspension is clear to slightly opalescent and may contain opalescent flecks. Do not use if visible particles or discoloration are observed. Mix gently. Do not shake. Items required for instillation: • Four (4) thawed vials of ADSTILADRIN • Four (4) vented vial adapters suitable for a standard 20 mLvial • Two (2) standard 50 or 60 mL polypropylene Luer lock syringes or one (1) Luer lock syringe equal to or greater than 75 mL (max 100 mL) • Two (2) Luer lock adapters - One (1) straight, or intermittent, urethral catheter with a proximal funnel opening that will accommodate the Luer lock adapter. - Use only catheters made of vinyl/PVC (uncoated or coated with hydrogel), red rubber latex or silicone to instill ADSTILADRIN. Do not use catheters coated or embedded with silver or antibiotics. 1. Using aseptic technique, remove the cap from an ADSTILADRIN vial and attach a vented vial adapter according to manufacturer's instructions. 2. Connect the syringe to the vial adapter and withdraw the contents of the vial into the syringe. Repeat steps 1-2 for the remaining three (3) vials until 75 mL has been withdrawn into one (1) or two (2) syringes. The volumes in the syringes do not have to be equal. 3. Discard any remaining volume according to universal precautions. If unable to administer the suspension shortly after withdrawal, the solution may be stored in syringes for up to 6 hours at room temperature (20°C to 25°C [68°F to 77°F]) protected from light. Treat any ADSTILADRIN spills or unused portion with a virucidal agent (such as sodium hypochlorite with 0.5% active chlorine or 6% hydrogen peroxide solution) for 15 minutes. Disposable materials that have come into contact with ADSTILADRIN should be placed in biohazard containers for destruction. Non-disposable equipment may be decontaminated according to the facility's standard operating procedures. [ see Patient Counseling Information ( 17 ) ]. 2.3 Bladder instillation of ADSTILADRIN Premedication with an anticholinergic before each instillation of ADSTILADRIN is recommended. ADSTILADRIN must be brought to room temperature before administration [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Before administering ADSTILADRIN to the patient, insert one straight, or intermittent, urinary catheter with a proximal funnel opening that will accommodate the Luer lock adapter. Use only catheters made of vinyl/PVC (uncoated or coated with hydrogel), red rubber latex or silicone to instill ADSTILADRIN. Do not use catheters coated or embedded with silver or antibiotics. Use the catheter to completely empty the patient's bladder before instillation of ADSTILADRIN. Do not remove the catheter. Attach the Luer lock end of the same catheter adapter to the syringe containing ADSTILADRIN and insert the tapered end of the catheter adapter into the funnel opening of the catheter. Slowly instill 75 mL of ADSTILADRIN into the bladder through the catheter, ensuring that the complete volume is administered. After the instillation, ADSTILADRIN should be retained in the bladder for 1 hour. During the 1-hour dwell time, the patient should reposition approximately every 15 minutes from left to right, back and abdomen to maximize bladder surface exposure. If, during the dwell time, the patient exhibits bladder cramping or premature voiding, repositioning of the patient may be adjusted or discontinued. Evacuate ADSTILADRIN from the bladder as part of routine emptying of the bladder, or the patient may void and completely empty the bladder after 1 hour has elapsed. Voided urine should be disinfected for 15 minutes with an equal volume of virucidal agent before flushing of the toilet. [ see Patient Counseling Information ( 17 ) ].
Warnings & Precautions
Delaying cystectomy could lead to the development of metastatic bladder cancer, which can be lethal. ( 5.1 ) Risk of disseminated adenovirus infection: Persons who are immunocompromised or immunodeficient may be at risk for disseminated infection from ADSTILADRIN due to low levels of replication-competent adenovirus. Avoid ADSTILADRIN exposure to immunocompromised or immunodeficient individuals. (5.2) 5.1 Risk of Muscle Invasive or Metastatic Bladder Cancer with Delayed Cystectomy Delaying cystectomy in patients with BCG-unresponsive CIS could lead to development of muscle invasive or metastatic bladder cancer, which can be lethal. The risk of developing muscle-invasive or metastatic bladder cancer increases the longer cystectomy is delayed in the presence of persisting CIS. Of the patients with CIS treated with ADSTILADRIN on Study CS-003 who underwent subsequent radical cystectomy and for whom pathologic data were available, 14% (n = 6) had muscle-invasive (T2 or greater) disease at cystectomy. Median time from persistence or recurrence of CIS to cystectomy in these patients was 235 days (range 38 to 582 days). Two additional patients who did not undergo cystectomy experienced progression to muscle-invasive disease during the treatment period. If patients with CIS do not have a complete response to treatment after 3 months or if CIS recurs, consider cystectomy. 5.2 Risk of Disseminated Adenovirus Infection Immunocompromised persons, including those receiving immunosuppressant therapy, may be at risk for disseminated adenovirus infection because of the possible presence of low levels of replication-competent adenovirus in ADSTILADRIN. Individuals who are immunosuppressed or immune-deficient should not come into contact with ADSTILADRIN.
Contraindications
ADSTILADRIN is contraindicated in patients with prior hypersensitivity reactions to interferon alfa or to any component of the product [ see Description ( 11 ) ]. ADSTILADRIN is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to interferon alfa or any component of the product. ( 4 )
Adverse Reactions
The most common (>10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities (>15%), were glucose increased, instillation site discharge, triglycerides increased, fatigue, bladder spasm, micturition (urination urgency), creatinine increased, hematuria (blood in urine), phosphate decreased, chills, pyrexia (fever), and dysuria (painful urination). ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Ferring Pharmaceuticals at 1-888-337-7464 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because 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 safety of ADSTILADRIN was evaluated in Study CS-003, a multicenter, single-arm, open-label study in 157 U.S. patients [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ] with high-risk BCG‑unresponsive NMIBC, 107 of whom had BCG-unresponsive carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors. Patients received 75 mL (3 x 10 11 vp/mL) ADSTILADRIN administered intravesically once every 3 months for up to 12 months [ see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ]. All patients with an absence of high-risk recurrence or progression were offered continued treatment every 3 months beyond 12 months. The median number of instillations of ADSTILADRIN was 2 (range 1 to 5). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 11% of patients who received ADSTILADRIN. Serious adverse reactions occurring in >1% of patients included coronary artery disease and hematuria (blood in urine). Permanent discontinuation of ADSTILADRIN due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3 (1.9%) patients. Adverse reactions that resulted in permanent discontinuation of ADSTILADRIN included bladder spasm instillation site discharge, and benign neoplasm of the bladder. Dosage interruptions of ADSTILADRIN due to an adverse reaction occurred in 54 (34%) patients. Adverse reactions in >10% of patients that required dosage interruption included instillation site discharge, bladder spasm, and micturition urgency. The most common (>10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities (>15%), were glucose increased, instillation site discharge, triglycerides increased, fatigue, bladder spasm, micturition (urination) urgency, creatinine increased, hematuria (blood in urine), phosphate decreased, chills, dysuria, and pyrexia (fever). Tables 1 and 2 summarize adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in patients on ADSTILADRIN in CS-003.
