Overview
Zolbetuximab-clzb is a chimeric (mouse/human) antibody composed of variable regions derived from mouse anti-human claudin-18 isoform 2 monoclonal antibody and constant regions derived from human IgG1. The molecular weight is approximately 147 kDa. VYLOY (zolbetuximab-clzb) for injection is provided as a sterile, preservative-free, white to off-white lyophilized powder in single-dose vials for intravenous use. VYLOY is supplied as 100 mg or 300 mg per vial and requires reconstitution with Sterile Water for Injection, USP, (5 mL or 15 mL) resulting in a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution with a final concentration of 20 mg/mL . Each mL of reconstituted solution contains 20 mg of zolbetuximab-clzb, arginine (23.24 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.21 mg), sucrose (51.30 mg), and phosphoric acid to adjust pH to 6.0.

Warnings & Precautions
• Hypersensitivity reactions including serious anaphylaxis reactions and serious and fatal infusion-related reactions have occurred. Monitor patients during and for at least 2 hours after infusion with VYLOY. Interrupt, slow the rate of infusion or permanently discontinue VYLOY based on severity and type of reaction. Premedicate with antihistamines for subsequent infusions after a hypersensitivity reaction. ( 2.4 , 5.1 ) • Severe nausea and vomiting: Premedicate patients with antiemetics prior to each infusion. Interrupt or permanently discontinue VYLOY based on the severity of the nausea and/or vomiting. Manage patients during and after infusion with antiemetics or fluid replacement. ( 2.4 , 5.2 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis reactions, and infusion related reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including serious anaphylaxis reactions, and serious and fatal infusion-related reactions (IRR) have been reported in clinical studies when VYLOY has been administered. Any grade hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions, occurring with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX was 18%. Severe (Grade 3 or 4) hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions, occurred in 2% of patients. Seven patients (1.3%) permanently discontinued VYLOY for hypersensitivity reactions, including two patients (0.4%) who permanently discontinued VYLOY due to anaphylactic reactions. Seventeen (3.2%) patients required dose interruption, and three patients (0.6%) required infusion rate reduction due to hypersensitivity reactions. All grade IRRs occurred in 3.2% in patients administered VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX. Severe (Grade 3) IRRs occurred in 2 (0.4%) patients who received VYLOY. An IRR led to permanent discontinuation of VYLOY in 2 (0.4%) patients and dose interruption in 7 (1.3%) patients. The infusion rate was reduced for VYLOY for 2 (0.4%) patients due to an IRR. Monitor patients during infusion with VYLOY and for 2 hours after completion of infusion or longer if clinically indicated, for hypersensitivity reactions with symptoms and signs that are highly suggestive of anaphylaxis (urticaria, repetitive cough, wheeze and throat tightness/change in voice). Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of IRRs including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, salivary hypersecretion, pyrexia, chest discomfort, chills, back pain, cough and hypertension. If a severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity or IRR reaction occurs, discontinue VYLOY permanently, treat symptoms according to standard medical care, and monitor until symptoms resolve. For any Grade 2 hypersensitivity or IRR, interrupt the VYLOY infusion until Grade ≤1, then resume at a reduced infusion rate for the remaining infusion. Premedicate the patient with antihistamines for the subsequent infusions, administer per the infusion rates in Table 2 and closely monitor the patient for symptoms and signs of a hypersensitivity reaction. The infusion rate may be gradually increased as tolerated [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . 5.2 Severe Nausea and Vomiting VYLOY is emetogenic. Nausea and vomiting occurred more often during the first cycle of treatment. All grade nausea and vomiting occurred in 82% and 67%, respectively, of patients treated with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 and 69% and 66% in combination with CAPOX, respectively. Severe (Grade 3) nausea occurred in 16% and 9% of patients treated with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX respectively. Severe (Grade 3) vomiting occurred in 16% and 12% of patients treated with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX. Nausea led to permanent discontinuation of VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX in 18 (3.4%) patients and dose interruption in 147 (28%) patients. Vomiting led to permanent discontinuation of VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX in 20 (3.8%) patients and dose interruption in 150 (28%) patients. Pretreat with antiemetics prior to each infusion of VYLOY [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . Manage patients during and after infusion with antiemetics or fluid replacement.
