IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION |
WARNING: TOXIC DEATHS, HEPATOTOXICITY, NEUTROPENIA,
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS, AND FLUID RETENTION
-
Treatment-related mortality associated with BEIZRAY is increased in patients with abnormal
liver function, in patients receiving higher doses, and in patients with non-small cell
lung carcinoma and a history of prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy who
receive BEIZRAY as a single agent at a dose of 100 mg/m2.
-
Avoid the use of BEIZRAY in patients with bilirubin > upper limit of normal (ULN), or to
patients with AST and/or ALT >1.5 x ULN concomitant with alkaline phosphatase >2.5x ULN.
Patients with elevations of bilirubin or abnormalities of transaminase concurrent with
alkaline phosphatase are at increased risk for the development of severe neutropenia,
febrile neutropenia, infections, severe thrombocytopenia, severe stomatitis, severe skin
toxicity, and toxic death. Patients with isolated elevations of transaminase >1.5 x ULN
also had a higher rate of febrile neutropenia. Measure bilirubin, AST or ALT, and alkaline
phosphatase prior to each cycle of BEIZRAY.
-
Do not administer BEIZRAY to patients with neutrophil counts of <1500 cells/mm3. Monitor blood
counts frequently as neutropenia may be severe and result in
infection.
-
Do not administer BEIZRAY to patients who have a history of severe hypersensitivity
reactions to docetaxel. Severe hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients
despite dexamethasone premedication. Hypersensitivity reactions require immediate
discontinuation of the BEIZRAY infusion and administration of appropriate therapy.
-
Severe fluid retention occurred in 6.5% (6/92) of patients despite use of dexamethasone
premedication. It was characterized by one or more of the following events: poorly
tolerated peripheral edema, generalized edema, pleural effusion requiring urgent drainage,
dyspnea at rest, cardiac tamponade, or pronounced abdominal distention (due to ascites).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued)
CONTRAINDICATIONS
BEIZRAY is contraindicated in patients with:
- neutrophil counts of <1500 cells/mm3
- a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to docetaxel. Severe reactions, including
anaphylaxis, have occurred.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Toxic Deaths, Hepatotoxicity, Neutropenia, Hypersensitivity Reactions, and Fluid Retention (See BOXED
WARNING).
Second primary malignancies: In patients treated with
BEIZRAY-containing regimens, monitor for delayed AML, MDS, NHL, and renal cancer.
Cutaneous reactions: Reactions including erythema of the
extremities with edema followed by desquamation may occur. Severe cutaneous adverse reactions have been
reported. Severe skin toxicity may require dose adjustment or permanent treatment discontinuation.
Neurologic reactions: Reactions including paresthesia, dysesthesia,
and pain may occur. Severe neurosensory symptoms require dose adjustment or discontinuation if
persistent.
Eye disorders: Cystoid macular edema (CME) has been reported and
requires treatment discontinuation.
Asthenia: Severe asthenia may occur and may require treatment
discontinuation.
Embryo-fetal toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of the
potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception.
Alcohol content: The alcohol content in a dose of BEIZRAY Injection
may affect the central nervous system. This may include impairment of a patient's ability to drive or use
machines immediately after infusion.
Tumor lysis syndrome: Tumor lysis syndrome has been reported.
Patients at risk should be well hydrated and closely monitored during treatment.
Transmissible Infectious Agents:BEIZRAY final infusion solution
contains albumin derived from human blood, which has a theoretical risk of viral transmission.
