MARGENZA and Chemotherapy for HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
In the Pivotal SOPHIA trial, MARGENZA was paired with 4 different chemotherapy options:
See below for Preparation for Administration.
Dose | Initial Infusion | ||
---|---|---|---|
Infusion 15 mg/kg |
Over 120 minutes |
Subsequent Infusion | |||
---|---|---|---|
Over 30 minutes (minimum) |
Every 21 days |
Continue MARGENZA until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
If a patient misses a dose of MARGENZA, administer the scheduled dose as soon as possible. Adjust the administration schedule to maintain a 21-day interval between doses.
On days when both MARGENZA and chemotherapy are to be administered, MARGENZA may be administered immediately after chemotherapy completion.
Evaluate cardiac function within 4 weeks prior to and every 3 months during and upon completion of treatment. Conduct thorough cardiac assessment, including history, physical examination, and determination of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by echocardiogram or MUGA scan. Withhold MARGENZA dosing for at least 4 weeks for any of the following:
MARGENZA dosing may be resumed if, within 8 weeks, LVEF returns to normal limits and absolute decrease from baseline is ≤15%. Permanently discontinue MARGENZA if LVEF decline persists for greater than 8 weeks, or if dosing is interrupted on greater than 3 occasions for LVEF decline.
Monitor cardiac function every 4 weeks if MARGENZA is withheld for significant left ventricular cardiac dysfunction.
