Overview
Elranatamab-bcmm is a bispecific B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed CD3 T-cell engager. It is a bispecific, humanized immunoglobulin 2-alanine (IgG2Δa) kappa antibody derived from two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), an anti-BCMA mAb and an anti-CD3 mAb. Each of these mAbs contributes one distinct heavy (H) chain and one distinct light (L) chain to the bispecific elranatamab-bcmm. The resulting 4-chain bispecific antibody is covalently linked via five inter-chain disulfide bonds. Elranatamab-bcmm is produced using two recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines, one that contains the DNA encoding the sequence for anti-BCMA monoclonal antibody (mAb) and one that contains the sequence for anti-CD3 mAb, which are grown separately in suspension culture using chemically-defined (CD), animal-derived component-free (ACF) media. The molecular weight of elranatamab-bcmm is approximately 148.5 kDa. ELREXFIO TM (elranatamab-bcmm) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent, and colorless to pale brown liquid solution for subcutaneous administration. ELREXFIO (elranatamab-bcmm) is supplied at a concentration of 40 mg/mL in either 76 mg/1.9 mL or 44 mg/1.1 mL single-dose vials. Each mL of solution contains 40 mg elranatamab-bcmm, edetate disodium (0.045 mg), histidine (1.12 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (2.67 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), sucrose (85 mg) and Water for Injection. The pH is 5.8.

Warnings & Precautions
• Infections : Can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat appropriately. Do not initiate treatment in patients with active infections. ( 5.4 ) • Neutropenia : Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment. ( 5.5 ) • Hepatotoxicity : Can cause elevated ALT, AST, and bilirubin. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. ( 5.6 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.7 , 8.1 . 8.3 ) 5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) ELREXFIO can cause CRS, including life-threatening or fatal reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the clinical trial, CRS occurred in 58% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] , with Grade 1 CRS in 44% of patients, Grade 2 CRS in 14% of patients, and Grade 3 CRS in 0.5% of patients. Recurrent CRS occurred in 13% of patients. Most patients experienced CRS after the first step-up dose (43%) or the second step-up dose (19%), with 7% of patients having CRS after the first treatment dose and 1.6% of patients after a subsequent dose. The median time to onset of CRS was 2 (range: 1 to 9) days after the most recent dose, with a median duration of 2 (range: 1 to 19) days. Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS may include, but are not limited to, fever, hypoxia, chills, hypotension, tachycardia, headache, and elevated liver enzymes. Initiate therapy according to the ELREXFIO step-up dosing schedule to reduce risk of CRS and monitor patients following administration of ELREXFIO accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 , 2.5 )] . Administer pre-treatment medications prior to each dose in the step-up dosing schedule to reduce risk of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Counsel patients to seek medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur. At the first sign of CRS, evaluate patients immediately for hospitalization. Manage CRS according to the recommendations and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Withhold or permanently discontinue ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . ELREXFIO is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 5.2 Neurologic Toxicity, Including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) ELREXFIO can cause serious or life-threatening neurologic toxicity, including ICANS [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the clinical trial, neurologic toxicity occurred in 59% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] , with Grade 3 or 4 neurologic toxicity occurring in 7% of patients. Neurologic toxicities included headache (18%), encephalopathy (15%), motor dysfunction (13%), sensory neuropathy (13%), and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (0.5%). In the clinical trial, ICANS occurred in 3.3% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Most patients had ICANS after the first step-up dose (2.7%), 1 (0.5%) patient had ICANS after the second step-up dose and 1 (0.5%) patient had ICANS after subsequent dose(s). Recurrent ICANS occurred in 1.1% of patients. The median time to onset was 3 (range: 1 to 4) days after the most recent dose, with a median duration of 2 (range: 1 to 18) days. The most frequent clinical manifestations of ICANS included a depressed level of consciousness and Grade 1 or Grade 2 Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (ICE) scores. The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS. Counsel patients to seek medical attention should signs or symptoms of neurologic toxicity occur. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicities during treatment with ELREXFIO. At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, evaluate and treat patients immediately based on severity. Withhold or permanently discontinue ELREXFIO based on severity per recommendations [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Due to the potential for neurologic toxicity including ICANS, patients receiving ELREXFIO are at risk of depressed level of consciousness. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy or potentially dangerous machinery for 48 hours after completing each of the 2 step-up doses and the first treatment dose within the ELREXFIO step-up dosing schedule and in the event of new onset of any neurological toxicity symptoms until symptoms resolve [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . ELREXFIO is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 5.3 ELREXFIO REMS ELREXFIO is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the ELREXFIO REMS because of the risks of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2 )] . Notable requirements of the ELREXFIO REMS include the following: • Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training. • Prescribers must counsel patients receiving ELREXFIO about the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, and provide patients with ELREXFIO Patient Wallet Card. • Pharmacies and healthcare settings that dispense ELREXFIO must be certified with the ELREXFIO REMS program and must verify prescribers are certified through the ELREXFIO REMS program. • Wholesalers and distributers must only distribute ELREXFIO to certified pharmacies or healthcare settings. Further information about the ELREXFIO REMS program is available at www.ELREXFIOREMS.com or by telephone at 1‑844‑923‑7845. 5.4 Infections ELREXFIO can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections. In the clinical trial, in patients who received ELREXFIO according to the recommended dosing schedule, serious infections, including opportunistic infections, occurred in 42% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 infections in 31%, and fatal infections in 7%. The most common serious infections reported (≥5%) were pneumonia and sepsis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Do not initiate treatment with ELREXFIO in patients with active infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with ELREXFIO and treat appropriately. Withhold or permanently discontinue ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . Administer prophylactic antimicrobial and anti-viral medications according to current practice guidelines. Consider treatment with subcutaneous or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) as appropriate. 5.5 Neutropenia ELREXFIO can cause neutropenia and febrile neutropenia. In patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dose in the clinical trial, decreased neutrophils occurred in 62% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophils in 51%. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 2.2% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment. Provide supportive care according to current practice guidelines. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Withhold ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . 5.6 Hepatotoxicity ELREXFIO can cause hepatotoxicity. In the clinical trial, elevated ALT occurred in 36% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 ALT elevation occurring in 3.8%; elevated AST occurred in 40% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 AST elevation occurring in 6%. Grade 3 or 4 total bilirubin elevations occurred in 0.5% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Liver enzyme elevation can occur with or without concurrent CRS. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. Withhold ELREXFIO or consider permanent discontinuation of ELREXFIO based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . 5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, ELREXFIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ELREXFIO and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3 )] .

Drug Interactions
For certain CYP substrates, minimal changes in the concentration may lead to serious adverse reactions. Monitor for toxicity or drug concentrations of such CYP substrates when co-administered with ELREXFIO. ELREXFIO causes release of cytokines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] that may suppress activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, resulting in increased exposure of CYP substrates. Increased exposure of CYP substrates is more likely to occur after the first dose of ELREXFIO Day 1 and up to 14 days after the 32 mg dose on Day 4 and during and after CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
