INDICATION AND USAGE

HEPZATO for injection, as a component of the HEPZATO KIT, is indicated as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with uveal melanoma with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection or radiation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: PERI-PROCEDURAL COMPLICATIONS, MYELOSUPPRESSION

  • Severe peri-procedural complications including hemorrhage, hepatocellular injury, and thromboembolic events may occur with intra-hepatic administration of HEPZATO. Assess patients for these adverse reactions during and for 72 hours following administration of HEPZATO.
  • HEPZATO is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy called the HEPZATO KIT REMS.
  • Myelosuppression with resulting severe infection, bleeding, or symptomatic anemia may occur with HEPZATO. Monitor hematologic laboratory parameters and delay additional cycles of HEPZATO therapy until blood counts have improved.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • Active intracranial metastases or brain lesions with a propensity to bleed
  • Liver failure, portal hypertension, or known varices at risk for bleeding
  • Surgery or medical treatment of the liver in the previous 4 weeks
  • Uncorrectable coagulopathy
  • Inability to safely undergo general anesthesia, including active cardiac conditions including, but not limited to, unstable coronary syndromes (unstable or severe angina or myocardial infarction), worsening or new-onset congestive heart failure, significant arrhythmias, or severe valvular disease
  • History of allergies or known hypersensitivity to melphalan or a component or material utilized within the HEPZATO KIT including:
        • natural rubber latex
        • heparin or presence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
        • iodinated contrast not controlled by premedication with antihistamines and steroids

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Peri-procedural complications, including hemorrhage, hepatocellular injury, and thromboembolic events have been observed with HEPZATO. Administration of HEPZATO requires general anesthesia and extracorporeal bypass of circulation which may cause life threatening or fatal adverse effects. Ensure the patient is euvolemic but do not overhydrate the patient. Monitor for these peri-procedural complications during and for at least 72 hours following the procedure. To mitigate the risk of thromboembolic events, administer anticoagulation as described in the Instructions For Use (IFU). Due to the risk of bleeding, do not use in patients with uncorrectable coagulopathies and delay treatment with the HEPZATO KIT for at least 4 weeks after surgery or other medical procedure involving the liver. Platelets and clotting factors may be removed during the procedure. Monitor platelets and coagulation parameters as described in the IFU. If life-threatening bleeding occurs during the procedure, reverse anticoagulation as described in the IFU and correct coagulopathy as appropriate. Discontinue anticoagulation with warfarin or other oral anticoagulants prior to the procedure; resume when hemostasis has been restored after the procedure, provided no bleeding complications have been observed. Refer to the Prescribing Information (PI) of the anticoagulant agent for bridging recommendations for anti- coagulation prior to surgical procedures. Discontinue drugs affecting platelet function such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or other anti-platelet drugs one week before the procedure. Patients with abnormal hepatic vascular (especially arterial supply) or biliary (especially re-implantation of bile duct) anatomy or gastric acid hypersecretion syndromes may be at increased risk of peri-procedural complications or other severe adverse reactions. Screen patients for a history of prior surgeries involving the bile duct to assess whether the patient is an appropriate candidate for HEPZATO KIT and monitor patients for adverse reactions following HEPZATO KIT administration. Procedure-related reductions in blood pressure including severe hypotension can occur, closely monitor blood pressure during the procedure. Patients may require fluid support and vasopressors. To reduce the risk of severe hypotension, assess hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function, and temporarily discontinue ACE-inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, or alpha-1-adrenergic blockers for at least 5 half-lives prior to treatment with the HEPZATO-KIT. If necessary, use other short-acting antihypertensive drugs to manage blood pressure during the peri-procedure period

HEPZATO KIT REMS PROGRAM, The HEPZATO KIT is only available through a restricted program under a REMS, because of the risk of severe peri-procedural complications including hemorrhage, hepatocellular injury, and thromboembolic events defined in the REMS. The HEPZATO KIT should only be used by trained healthcare providers. Important requirements of the HEPZATO KIT REMS include:

  • Healthcare settings that dispense and administer HEPZATO KIT must be enrolled, certified, and comply with the REMS requirements.
  • Certified healthcare facilities must ensure that healthcare providers who perform the Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP) procedure are trained on the use of HEPZATO KIT and must only dispense HEPZATO when authorized to do so by the REMS.
  • Certified healthcare facilities must ensure that patients are assessed for severe peri-procedural complications during the procedure and
    for at least 72 hours following the procedure.

Further information is available at www.HEPZATOKITREMS.com or contact Delcath Systems at 1-833-632-0458

Myelosuppression, including thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia have been reported in patients treated with HEPZATO. The risk of hematologic adverse reactions may be increased in patients who have received prior chemotherapy, bone irradiation, or who have
compromised bone marrow function. Monitor patients for severe infections, bleeding, and symptomatic anemia. Only administer HEPZATO in patients with platelets >100,000/ microliter, hemoglobin ≥10.0 gm/dL and neutrophils >2,000/microliter. Administer transfusions or growth factors as appropriate.

Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have occurred in patients who received an intravenous (IV) formulation of melphalan. Immediately terminate hepatic arterial melphalan infusion for hypersensitivity reactions and administer supportive care.

Gastrointestinal adverse reactions including nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea are common.

Secondary malignancies including acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, myeloproliferative syndrome, and carcinoma, have been reported in patients with cancer treated with alkylating drugs (including melphalan). Melphalan has been shown to cause chromatid or chromosome damage in humans.

Embryo-fetal toxicity, melphalan can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment with HEPZATO and for 3 months after the last dose.

Infertility, melphalan-based chemotherapy regimens have been reported to cause suppression of ovarian function in premenopausal women and testicular suppression in men.

 

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities are thrombocytopenia, fatigue, anemia, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, leukopenia, abdominal pain, neutropenia, vomiting, increased alanine aminotransferase, prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased alkaline phosphatase, and dyspnea.

USE IN SPECIAL POPULATIONS

  • HEPZATO should not be used in patients < 35 kg.
  • Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with melphalan and for one week after the last dose.

HEPZATO KIT treatment was permanently discontinued because of adverse events in 18% of patients, with neutropenia being the most common reason (3.2%).1

Frequently Asked Questions

What is metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM)?

Uveal melanoma (UM) is a type of cancer that arises from melanocytes in the uveal tract of the eye.9 Approximately half of all patients with UM develop metastatic disease, and the liver is involved in 90% of mUM cases.9-11 UM-related mortality is often due to complications from metastatic disease, and most patients with mUM die from liver failure.10

What does treatment with HEPZATO KIT involve?

Treatment with HEPZATO KIT involves a minimally invasive, repeatable surgical procedure that isolates the hepatic blood supply, saturates the liver with high-dose melphalan, and then filters the chemotherapy from systemic circulation to limit drug exposure (mean [SD] filter efficiency of 82.7% [14.4%] for the total filtration period)1-3

Who is an appropriate patient for HEPZATO KIT?

HEPZATO KIT is indicated for adult patients with mUM with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection or radiation. In the multicenter, open-label FOCUS trial in which the effects of HEPZATO KIT were studied, patients were required to have unresectable mUM, with metastasis predominantly involving the liver (liver-dominant). Limited extrahepatic disease in the bone, subcutaneous sites, lymph nodes, or lung was permitted if the life-threatening component of the UM was in the liver and the extrahepatic disease was amenable to resection or radiation and had a defined treatment plan.1

Patient eligibility for HEPZATO KIT depends on several factors, which should be determined and assessed by the treating physician.1

How can I find a healthcare setting for HEPZATO KIT?

HEPZATO KIT is available at multiple cancer centers in the United States. Use the Healthcare Setting Locator to find a treatment center near you. For more information, email medaffairs@delcath.com or call +1 833-632-0458.

Important Safety Information Including Boxed Warning

What is HEPZATO KIT?

HEPZATO KIT consists of a closed circuit of catheters and proprietary filtration technology utilized to deliver HEPZATO (melphalan) to the hepatic artery and to lower the concentration of melphalan in the blood before it is returned to systemic circulation.

HEPZATO (melphalan) for injection is a component of the HEPZATO KIT Hepatic Delivery System (HDS) for intra-arterial use. Initial U.S. approval: 1964

WARNING: SEVERE PERI-PROCEDURAL COMPLICATIONS, MYELOSUPPRESSION

See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.

  • Severe peri-procedural complications including hemorrhage, hepatocellular injury, and thromboembolic events may occur with intra-hepatic administration of HEPZATO. Assess patients for these adverse reactions during and for 72 hours following administration of HEPZATO.
  • HEPZATO is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy called the HEPZATO KIT REMS.
  • Myelosuppression with resulting severe infection, bleeding, or symptomatic anemia may occur with HEPZATO. Monitor hematologic laboratory parameters and delay additional cycles of HEPZATO therapy until blood counts have improved.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

HEPZATO is an alkylating drug indicated as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with uveal melanoma with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease, or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection or radiation.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

HEPZATO, a component of the HEPZATO KIT, is administered by intra-arterial infusion into the hepatic artery (see instructions for use [IFU]). The recommended dose is 3 mg/kg based on ideal body weight (see Table 1), with a maximum absolute dose of 220 mg during a single HEPZATO treatment. The drug is infused over 30 minutes followed by a 30-minute washout period (see IFU). Treatments should be administered every six (6) to eight (8) weeks but can be delayed until recovery from toxicities and as per clinical judgement.

DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

For injection: HEPZATO includes 50 mg freeze-dried (lyophilized) melphalan powder per vial in five (5) single dose vials, intended for reconstitution with the supplied diluents.
