8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Based on the mechanism of action, ELREXFIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on the use of ELREXFIO in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug associated risk. No animal reproductive or developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with ELREXFIO. Elranatamab-bcmm causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance. In addition, based on the finding of B-cell depletion in non-pregnant animals, elranatamab-bcmm can cause B-cell lymphocytopenia in infants exposed to elranatamab-bcmm in-utero. Human immunoglobulin (IgG) is known to cross the placenta after the first trimester of pregnancy; therefore, elranatamab-bcmm has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus.
ELREXFIO is associated with hypogammaglobulinemia, therefore, assessment of immunoglobulin levels in newborns of mothers treated with ELREXFIO should be considered.
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.
8.2 Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of elranatamab-bcmm in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk.
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ELREXFIO and for 4 months after the last dose.
8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
ELREXFIO may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
Pregnancy Testing
Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with ELREXFIO.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 4 months after the last dose of ELREXFIO.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of ELREXFIO in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of the 183 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with ELREXFIO in MagnetisMM-3 at the recommended dosage, 62% were 65 years of age or older, and 19% were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed in patients 65-74 years of age compared to younger patients. Clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of patients 75 years of age or older to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.
