What is the most important information I should know about IMDELLTRA^™?

IMDELLTRA^™ may cause serious side effects, including:

Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS). CRS is common during treatment with IMDELLTRA^™ and can also be serious or life-threatening. Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of CRS, including:

• fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher

• fast heartbeat or dizziness
• headache
• shortness of breath or trouble breathing

• nausea and vomiting
• confusion, restlessness, or feeling anxious
• problems with balance and movement, such as trouble walking
• heart, liver, or kidney problems
• unusual bleeding or bleeding that lasts a long time

Due to the risk of CRS, you will receive IMDELLTRA^™ as per the following “step-up dosing schedule”:

• The step-up dosing schedule is when you receive a smaller dose of IMDELLTRA^™ on Day 1 of your first treatment cycle (Cycle 1).
• You will receive the full treatment dose of IMDELLTRA^™ on Day 8 and Day 15 of Cycle 1. You will receive the full treatment dose 1 time every 2 weeks after Day 15 of Cycle 1.
• If your dose of IMDELLTRA^™ is delayed for any reason, you may need to repeat the “step-up dosing schedule”.
• Before receiving your Day 1 and Day 8 doses of Cycle 1 of IMDELLTRA^™, you will be given a medicine to help reduce your risk of CRS. This will be given into your vein by intravenous (IV) infusion. You will also receive IV fluids after each of your Cycle 1 doses of IMDELLTRA^™ (on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15). Your healthcare provider will decide if you need to receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS with future doses.
