Overview

PHESGO is a combination of pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and hyaluronidase. Pertuzumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the extracellular dimerization domain (Subdomain II) of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (HER2). Pertuzumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell (Chinese Hamster Ovary) culture. Pertuzumab has an approximate molecular weight of 148 kDa. Trastuzumab is a humanized IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody that selectively binds with high affinity to the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein, HER2. Trastuzumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell (Chinese Hamster Ovary) culture. Trastuzumab has a molecular weight of approximately 148 kDa. Hyaluronidase (recombinant human) is an endoglycosidase used to increase the dispersion and absorption of co-administered drugs when administered subcutaneously. It is a glycosylated single-chain protein produced by mammalian (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells containing a DNA plasmid encoding for a soluble fragment of human hyaluronidase (PH20). Hyaluronidase (recombinant human) has a molecular weight of approximately 61 kDa. PHESGO (pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and hyaluronidase-zzxf) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to opalescent, and colorless to slightly brownish solution supplied in single-dose vials for subcutaneous administration. PHESGO injection is supplied as two different configurations: PHESGO is supplied in a 15 mL single-dose vial containing 1,200 mg of pertuzumab, 600 mg of trastuzumab, and 30,000 units of hyaluronidase, and α,α-trehalose (397 mg), L-histidine (6.75 mg), L-histidine hydrochloric monohydrate (53.7 mg), L-methionine (22.4 mg), polysorbate 20 (6 mg), and sucrose (685 mg) with a pH of 5.5. PHESGO is supplied in a 10 mL single-dose vial containing 600 mg of pertuzumab, 600 mg of trastuzumab, and 20,000 units of hyaluronidase, and α,α-trehalose (397 mg), L-histidine (4.4 mg), L-histidine hydrochloric monohydrate (36.1 mg), L-methionine (14.9 mg), polysorbate 20 (4 mg), and sucrose (342 mg) with a pH of 5.5.

Indications & Usage

PHESGO is a combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab, HER2/neu receptor antagonists, and hyaluronidase, an endoglycosidase, indicated for: Use in combination with chemotherapy as: neoadjuvant treatment of patients with HER2-positive, locally advanced, inflammatory, or early stage breast cancer (either greater than 2 cm in diameter or node positive) as part of a complete treatment regimen for early breast cancer. ( 1.1 ) adjuvant treatment of patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence ( 1.1 ) Use in combination with docetaxel for treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease. ( 1.2 ) 1.1 Early Breast Cancer (EBC) PHESGO is indicated for use in combination with chemotherapy for the neoadjuvant treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive, locally advanced, inflammatory, or early stage breast cancer (either greater than 2 cm in diameter or node positive) as part of a complete treatment regimen for early breast cancer [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ]. 1.2 Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) PHESGO is indicated for use in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ].

Dosage & Administration

For subcutaneous use in the thigh only. ( 2.2 ) PHESGO has different dosage and administration instructions than intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab products. ( 2.2 ) Do not administer intravenously. ( 2.2 ) Perform HER2 testing using FDA-approved tests by laboratories with demonstrated proficiency. ( 1 , 2.1 ) The initial dose of PHESGO is 1,200 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 30,000 units hyaluronidase administered subcutaneously over approximately 8 minutes, followed every 3 weeks by a dose of 600 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 20,000 units hyaluronidase administered subcutaneously over approximately 5 minutes. ( 2.2 ) Neoadjuvant: administer PHESGO by subcutaneous injection every 3 weeks and chemotherapy by intravenous infusion preoperatively for 3 to 6 cycles. ( 2.2 ) Adjuvant: administer PHESGO by subcutaneous injection every 3 weeks and chemotherapy by intravenous infusion postoperatively for a total of 1 year (up to 18 cycles). ( 2.2 ) MBC: administer PHESGO by subcutaneous injection and docetaxel by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients based on HER2 protein overexpression or HER2 gene amplification in tumor specimens [see Indications and Usage (1) and Clinical Studies (14) ] . Assessment of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification should be performed using FDA-approved tests specific for breast cancer by laboratories with demonstrated proficiency. Information on the FDA-approved tests for the detection of HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. Improper assay performance, including use of suboptimally fixed tissue, failure to utilize specified reagents, deviation from specific assay instructions, and failure to include appropriate controls for assay validation, can lead to unreliable results. 2.2 Important Dosage and Administration Information PHESGO is for subcutaneous use only in the thigh. Do not administer intravenously. PHESGO has different dosage and administration instructions than intravenous pertuzumab, intravenous trastuzumab, and subcutaneous trastuzumab when administered alone. Do not substitute PHESGO for or with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, ado-trastuzumab emtansine, or fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan. PHESGO must always be administered by a healthcare professional. In patients receiving an anthracycline-based regimen for early breast cancer, administer PHESGO following completion of the anthracycline. In patients receiving PHESGO for early breast cancer with docetaxel or paclitaxel, administer docetaxel or paclitaxel after PHESGO. In patients receiving PHESGO for metastatic breast cancer with docetaxel, administer docetaxel after PHESGO. Observe patients for a minimum of 30 minutes after initial dose of PHESGO and 15 minutes after each maintenance dose of PHESGO for signs or hypersensitivity symptoms or administration-related reactions. Medications to treat such reactions, as well as emergency equipment, should be available for immediate use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. 2.3 Recommended Doses and Schedules The recommended dosage and administration schedule for PHESGO are shown in Table 1 . Table 1: Recommended Dosage and Administration Schedule Dose Strength Administration Instructions Initial dose 1,200 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 30,000 units hyaluronidase in 15 mL Administer subcutaneously over approximately 8 minutes (1,200 mg, 600 mg, and 30,000 units/15 mL) Maintenance dose (administer every 3 weeks) 600 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 20,000 units hyaluronidase in 10 mL (600 mg, 600 mg, and 20,000 units/10 mL) Administer subcutaneously over approximately 5 minutes every 3 weeks No dose adjustments for PHESGO are required for patient body weight or for concomitant chemotherapy regimen. Patients currently receiving intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab can transition to PHESGO. In patients receiving intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab with < 6 weeks since their last dose, administer PHESGO as a maintenance dose of 600 mg pertuzumab/600 mg trastuzumab and every 3 weeks for subsequent administrations. In patients receiving intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab with ≥ 6 weeks since their last dose, administer PHESGO as an initial dose of 1,200 mg pertuzumab/600 mg trastuzumab, followed by a maintenance dose of 600 mg pertuzumab/600 mg trastuzumab every 3 weeks for subsequent administrations . Neoadjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer Administer PHESGO every 3 weeks for 3 to 6 cycles as part of a treatment regimen for early breast cancer [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . Refer to the prescribing information for pertuzumab, administered in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy, for recommended dose and dosage modifications. Following surgery, patients should continue to receive PHESGO to complete 1 year of treatment (up to 18 cycles) or until disease recurrence or unmanageable toxicity, whichever occurs first, as a part of a complete regimen for early breast cancer. Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer Administer PHESGO every 3 weeks for a total of 1 year (up to 18 cycles) or until disease recurrence or unmanageable toxicity, whichever occurs first, as part of a complete regimen for early breast cancer, including standard anthracycline- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy. Start PHESGO on Day 1 of the first taxane-containing cycle [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) When administered with PHESGO, the recommended initial dose of docetaxel is 75 mg/m 2 administered as an intravenous infusion. The dose may be escalated to 100 mg/m 2 administered every 3 weeks if the initial dose is well tolerated. Administer PHESGO until disease progression or unmanageable toxicity, whichever occurs first. 2.4 Dose Modification Dose Modification for Delayed or Missed Doses For delayed or missed doses of PHESGO, if the time between two sequential injections is less than 6 weeks, administer the maintenance dose of 600 mg, 600 mg, and 20,000 units/10 mL. Do not wait until the next planned dose. If the time between two sequential injections is 6 weeks or more, re-administer the initial dose of 1,200 mg, 600 mg, and 30,000 units/15 mL, followed every 3 weeks thereafter by a maintenance dose of 600 mg, 600 mg, and 20,000 units/10 mL. For chemotherapy dose modifications, see relevant prescribing information. Cardiomyopathy [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) prior to initiation of PHESGO and at regular intervals during treatment as indicated in Table 2 . The recommendations on dose modifications in the event of LVEF dysfunction are indicated in Table 2 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Table 2: Dose Modifications for Left Ventricular Dysfunction Pre-treatment LVEF: Monitor LVEF every: Withhold PHESGO for at least 3 weeks for an LVEF decrease to: Resume PHESGO after 3 weeks if LVEF has recovered to: Early Breast Cancer ≥ 55% For patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy, a LVEF of ≥ 50% is required after completion of anthracyclines, before starting PHESGO ~12 weeks (once during neoadjuvant therapy) <50% with a fall of ≥10%-points below pre-treatment value Either ≥50% <10% points below pre-treatment value Metastatic Breast Cancer ≥ 50% ~12 weeks Either Either <40% 40%-45% with a fall of ≥10%-points below pre-treatment value >45% 40%-45% with a fall of <10%-points below pre-treatment value If after a repeat assessment within approximately 3 weeks, the LVEF has not improved, has declined further, and/or the patient is symptomatic, permanently discontinue PHESGO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Hypersensitivity and Administration-Related Reactions Discontinue the injection immediately if the patient experiences a serious hypersensitivity reaction (e.g. anaphylaxis) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . 2.5 Preparation for Administration To prevent medication errors, it is important to check the vial labels to ensure that the drug being prepared and administered is PHESGO and not intravenous pertuzumab, or intravenous trastuzumab, or subcutaneous trastuzumab. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use vial if particulates or discoloration is present. Do not shake. Discard any unused portion remaining in the vial. For both the initial and maintenance dose, each corresponding PHESGO vial is ready-to-use for one subcutaneous injection and should not be diluted. A syringe, a transfer needle, and an injection needle are needed to withdraw PHESGO solution from the vial and inject it subcutaneously. PHESGO may be injected using 25G-27G (3/8"-5/8") hypodermic injection needles. To avoid needle clogging, attach the hypodermic injection needle to the syringe immediately prior to administration followed by volume adjustment to 15 mL (initial dose) and 10 mL (maintenance dose). If the dose is not to be administered immediately, and the solution of PHESGO has been withdrawn from the vial into the syringe, replace the transfer needle with a syringe closing cap. Label the syringe with the peel-off sticker and store the syringe in the refrigerator [2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)] for up to 24 hours and at room temperature [20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F)] for up to 4 hours and avoid unnecessary storage. PHESGO is compatible with stainless steel, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride and fluorinated ethylene polypropylene. Administration Administer PHESGO 1,200 mg, 600 mg, 30,000 units/15 mL subcutaneously over approximately 8 minutes Administer PHESGO 600 mg, 600 mg, 20,000 units/10 mL subcutaneously over approximately 5 minutes The subcutaneous injection site should be alternated between the left and right thigh only. New injections should be given at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the previous site on healthy skin and never into areas where the skin is red, bruised, tender, or hard. Do not split the dose between two syringes or between two sites of administration. During the treatment course with PHESGO, other medications for subcutaneous administration should preferably be injected at different sites.

Warnings & Precautions
Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia. ( 5.4 ) Hypersensitivity and Administration-Related Reactions (ARRs): Monitor patients for systemic hypersensitivity reactions. Permanently discontinue PHESGO in patients who experience anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity reactions. ( 5.5 ) 5.1 Cardiomyopathy PHESGO can cause hypertension, arrhythmias, left ventricular cardiac dysfunction, disabling cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac death [see Boxed Warning: Cardiomyopathy ]. PHESGO can cause asymptomatic decline in LVEF. An increased incidence of LVEF decline has been observed in patients treated with intravenous pertuzumab, intravenous trastuzumab, and docetaxel. A 4-6 fold increase in the incidence of symptomatic myocardial dysfunction has been reported among patients receiving trastuzumab, with the highest absolute incidence occurring when trastuzumab was administered with an anthracycline. Patients who receive anthracycline after stopping PHESGO may also be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction [see Drug Interactions (7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Cardiac Monitoring Prior to initiation of PHESGO, conduct a thorough cardiac assessment, including history, physical examination, and determination of LVEF by echocardiogram or MUGA scan. During treatment with PHESGO, assess LVEF at regular intervals [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. If after a repeat assessment within approximately 3 weeks, the LVEF has not improved, has declined further, and/or the patient is symptomatic, permanently discontinue PHESGO. Following completion of PHESGO, continue to monitor for cardiomyopathy and assess LVEF measurements every 6 months for at least 2 years as a component of adjuvant therapy. PHESGO In the FeDeriCa trial, the percentage of patients with at least one cardiac disorder was 22% in the PHESGO arm. The most frequent cardiac adverse reaction in the PHESGO arm was ejection fraction decreased. The incidence of cardiac failure (NYHA Class III/IV) with a LVEF decline ≥ 10% and a drop to less than 50% was 0.8% in the PHESGO arm. Confirmed asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (NYHA Class II) declines in LVEF ≥ 10% and a drop to less than 50% was 1.2% in the PHESGO arm [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . PHESGO and/or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab have not been studied in patients with a pretreatment LVEF value of < 55% (EBC) or <50% (MBC); a prior history of CHF, conditions that could impair left ventricular function such as uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment or a cumulative prior anthracycline exposure to > 360 mg/m 2 of doxorubicin or its equivalent. 5.2 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity PHESGO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In post-marketing reports, use of intravenous trastuzumab during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. In an animal reproduction study, administration of intravenous pertuzumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys during the period of organogenesis resulted in oligohydramnios, delayed fetal kidney development, and embryo-fetal death at exposures 2.5 to 20 times the exposure in humans at the recommended dose, based on C max . Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of PHESGO. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential that exposure to PHESGO during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception can result in fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 7 months following the last dose of PHESGO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 5.3 Pulmonary Toxicity PHESGO can cause serious and fatal pulmonary toxicity. These adverse reactions have been reported with intravenous trastuzumab. Pulmonary toxicity includes dyspnea, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusions, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, pulmonary insufficiency and hypoxia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pulmonary fibrosis. Patients with symptomatic intrinsic lung disease or with extensive tumor involvement of the lungs, resulting in dyspnea at rest, appear to have more severe toxicity. 5.4 Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia PHESGO may exacerbate chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. In randomized controlled clinical trials with intravenous trastuzumab, Grade 3-4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia were higher in patients receiving trastuzumab in combination with myelosuppressive chemotherapy as compared to those who received chemotherapy alone. The incidence of septic death was similar among patients who received trastuzumab and those who did not. 5.5 Hypersensitivity and Administration-Related Reactions Severe administration-related reactions (ARRs), including hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, and events with fatal outcomes, have been associated with intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab. Patients experiencing dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy and comorbidities may be at increased risk of a severe or of a fatal ARR. In the FeDeriCa trial, the incidence of hypersensitivity was 1.2% in the PHESGO arm. Administration-related reactions occurred in 21% of patients who received PHESGO. In the PHESGO arm, the most common administration-related reactions were injection site reaction (15%) and injection site pain (2%). Closely monitor patients during and for 30 minutes after the injection of initial dose and during and for 15 minutes following subsequent injections of maintenance dose of PHESGO. If a significant injection-related reaction occurs, slow down or pause the injection and administer appropriate medical therapies. Evaluate and carefully monitor patients until complete resolution of signs and symptoms. Permanently discontinue with PHESGO in patients who experience anaphylaxis or severe injection-related reactions. Medications to treat such reactions, as well as emergency equipment, should be available for immediate use. For patients experiencing reversible Grade 1 or 2 hypersensitivity reactions, consider pre-medication with an analgesic, antipyretic, or an antihistamine prior to readministration of PHESGO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . PHESGO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pertuzumab, trastuzumab, hyaluronidase or to any of its excipients [see Contraindications (4) ] .

Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer The safety of PHESGO was evaluated in an open-label, multicenter, randomized trial (FeDeriCa) conducted in 500 patients with HER2 overexpressing early breast cancer [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . Patients were randomized to receive either PHESGO (1,200 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 30,000 units hyaluronidase/15 mL) followed every 3 weeks by a maintenance dose of 600 mg pertuzumab, 600 mg trastuzumab, and 20,000 units hyaluronidase/10 mL or the recommended dosages for intravenous pertuzumab and intravenous trastuzumab. Patients were randomized to receive 8 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent administration of 4 cycles of either PHESGO or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab during cycles 5-8, followed by surgery. Following surgery, patients continued therapy with PHESGO alone or intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab (intravenous or subcutaneously administered) as treated prior to surgery, for an additional 14 cycles, to complete 18 cycles. The median duration of treatment for PHESGO was 24 weeks (range: 0-42 weeks). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 16% of patients who received PHESGO. Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients included febrile neutropenia (4%), neutropenic sepsis (1%), and neutrophil count decreased (1%). One fatal adverse reaction occurred in 1/248 (0.4%) of patients, which was due to acute myocardial infarction, and occurred prior to the start of HER2 targeted treatment with PHESGO. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of any study drug occurred in 8% of patients on the PHESGO arm. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of PHESGO were ejection fraction decreased (1.2%), cardiac failure (0.8%), and pneumonitis/pulmonary fibrosis (0.8%). Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 40% of patients who received PHESGO. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in > 1% of patients who received PHESGO included neutropenia (8%), neutrophil count decreased (4%), and diarrhea (7%). Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions in FeDeriCa.

The following adverse reactions have been reported following administration of intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab: diarrhea, alopecia, nausea, fatigue, neutropenia, vomiting, peripheral neuropathy, constipation, anemia, asthenia, mucosal inflammation, myalgia, and thrombocytopenia. Refer to the Prescribing Information for pertuzumab for more information. The safety of intravenous pertuzumab, trastuzumab and docetaxel has been established in patients with HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. The following adverse reactions have been reported following administration of intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab: diarrhea, alopecia, neutropenia, nausea, fatigue, rash, and peripheral neuropathy. Refer to the Prescribing Information for pertuzumab for more information. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified with the use of intravenous pertuzumab and trastuzumab. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Glomerulopathy Immune thrombocytopenia Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS): Patients with significant tumor burden (e.g. bulky metastases) may be at a higher risk. Patients could present with hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acute renal failure which may represent possible TLS. Providers should consider additional monitoring and/or treatment as clinically indicated.

Drug Interactions

Patients who receive anthracycline after stopping PHESGO may be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction because of PHESGO's long washout period [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . If possible, avoid anthracycline-based therapy for up to 7 months after stopping PHESGO. If anthracyclines are used, carefully monitor the patient's cardiac function.
