Drug Interactions (FDA Label)

INTERACTIONS No formal drug interaction studies have been performed. CASGEVY is not expected to interact with the hepatic cytochrome P-450 family of enzymes or drug transporters. Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor: Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) must not be used for CD34 + HSC mobilization of patients with SCD. ( 7.1 ) Hydroxyurea: Discontinue hydroxyurea at least 8 weeks prior to start of mobilization and conditioning. ( 7.2 ) Voxelotor and Crizanlizumab: Discontinue the use of voxelotor and crizanlizumab at least 8 weeks prior to start of mobilization and conditioning. ( 7.3 )

Iron

Chelators: Discontinue iron chelators at least 7 days prior to initiation of myeloablative conditioning. Avoid the use of non-myelosuppressive iron chelators for at least 3 months and use of myelosuppressive iron chelators for at least 6 months after CASGEVY infusion. ( 7.4 )

7.1 Use of Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) must not be used for CD34 + HSC mobilization of patients with SCD.

7.2 Use of Hydroxyurea Discontinue the use of hydroxyurea at least 8 weeks prior to start of each mobilization cycle and conditioning. There is no experience of the use of hydroxyurea after CASGEVY infusion.

7.3 Use of Voxelotor and Crizanlizumab Discontinue the use of voxelotor and crizanlizumab at least 8 weeks prior to start of mobilization and conditioning, as their interaction potential with mobilization and myeloablative conditioning agents is not known.

7.4 Use of Iron Chelators Discontinue the use of iron chelators at least 7 days prior to initiation of myeloablative conditioning, due to potential interaction with the conditioning agent. Some iron chelators are myelosuppressive. If iron chelation is required, avoid the use of non-myelosuppressive iron chelators for at least 3 months and use of myelosuppressive iron chelators for at least 6 months after CASGEVY infusion. Phlebotomy can be used instead of iron chelation, when appropriate.

7.5 Live Vaccines The safety of immunization with live viral vaccines during or following CASGEVY treatment has not been studied.

Contraindications

None. None. ( 4 )

Related Warnings

AND PRECAUTIONS Neutrophil Engraftment Failure : Monitor absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) after CASGEVY infusion. Administer rescue cells in the event of neutrophil engraftment failure. ( 5.1 )

Delayed Platelet

Engraftment: Monitor platelet counts until platelet engraftment and recovery are achieved. Patients should be monitored for bleeding. ( 5.2 )

Hypersensitivity

Reactions : Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions during and after infusion. ( 5.3 ) Off-Target Genome Editing Risk: The risk of unintended, off-target editing in CD34 + cells due to genetic variants cannot be ruled out. ( 5.4 )

5.1 Neutrophil Engraftment Failure There is potential risk of neutrophil engraftment failure after treatment with CASGEVY. In the clinical trials, all treated patients achieved neutrophil engraftment and no patients received rescue CD34 + cells. Monitor absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) and manage infections according to standard guidelines and medical judgement. In the event of neutrophil engraftment failure, patients should be infused with rescue CD34 + cells <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]</span> .

5.2 Delayed Platelet Engraftment Delayed platelet engraftment has been observed with CASGEVY treatment. There is an increased risk of bleeding until platelet engraftment is achieved <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]</span> . In the clinical trials, there was no association observed between incidence of bleeding events and time to platelet engraftment. Monitor patients for bleeding according to standard guidelines and medical judgement. Conduct frequent platelet counts until platelet engraftment and platelet recovery are achieved. Perform blood cell count determination and other appropriate testing whenever clinical symptoms suggestive of bleeding arise.

5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur due to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or dextran 40 in the cryopreservation solution. Monitor patients for hypersensitivity reactions during and after infusion.

5.4 Off-Target Genome Editing Risk The risk of unintended, off-target editing in an individual&apos;s CD34 + cells cannot be ruled out due to genetic variants. The clinical significance of potential off-target editing is unknown.
