Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Infusion-related reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Most common adverse reactions (≥20%) in patients with dMMR solid tumors are fatigue/asthenia, anemia, diarrhea, and nausea. Most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) are decreased lymphocytes, decreased sodium, increased alkaline phosphatase, and decreased albumin. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact GlaxoSmithKline at 1-888-825-5249 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to JEMPERLI as a single-agent in 605 patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors in the non-randomized, open-label, multicohort GARNET trial that enrolled 314 patients with endometrial cancer and 291 patients with other solid tumors. JEMPERLI was administered intravenously at doses of 500 mg every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by 1,000 mg every 6 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among the 605 patients, 32% were exposed for >1 year and 19% were exposed for >2 years. Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) Endometrial Cancer The safety of JEMPERLI was evaluated in GARNET in 150 patients with advanced or recurrent dMMR EC who received at least 1 dose of JEMPERLI [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Patients received JEMPERLI 500 mg every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by 1,000 mg every 6 weeks as an intravenous infusion until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy within 2 years of treatment or a medical condition that required immunosuppression were ineligible. Among patients receiving JEMPERLI, 41% were exposed for >1 year and 23% were exposed for >2 years. A fatal adverse reaction occurred in one patient (0.7%) who received JEMPERLI, due to concurrent immune-mediated encephalitis and urinary tract infection. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 38% of patients receiving JEMPERLI. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included urinary tract infection (4%), sepsis (3.3%), acute kidney injury (2.7%), and abdominal pain (2.7%). JEMPERLI was permanently discontinued due to adverse reactions in 15 (10%) patients, including increased transaminases, sepsis, bronchitis, pneumonitis, rash, pruritus, pancreatitis, encephalitis, and nephritis. Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 28% of patients who received JEMPERLI. Adverse reactions that required dosage interruption in >1% of patients who received JEMPERLI were anemia, diarrhea, asthenia, colitis, sepsis, and pneumonitis. The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue/asthenia, anemia, rash, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting. The most common Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions (≥2%) were anemia, increased transaminases, urinary tract infection, fatigue/asthenia, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (>2%) were decreased lymphocytes, decreased sodium, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased creatinine, decreased neutrophils, decreased albumin, and increased alkaline phosphatase. Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in ≥10% of patients with dMMR EC on JEMPERLI in GARNET. Table 2.

The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to dostarlimab-gxly in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading. The immunogenicity of dostarlimab was evaluated in GARNET. Treatment‑emergent anti‑drug antibodies (ADAs) against dostarlimab-gxly were detected in 2.1% of 384 patients who received dostarlimab-gxly at the recommended dosage. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 1% of patients. Because of the small number of patients who developed ADAs, the effect of immunogenicity on the efficacy and safety of dostarlimab-gxly is inconclusive.

Description
11 DESCRIPTION Dostarlimab-gxly is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)–blocking IgG 4 humanized monoclonal antibody. Dostarlimab‑gxly is produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells and has a calculated molecular weight of about 144 kDa. JEMPERLI (dostarlimab-gxly) injection is a sterile, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to yellow solution essentially free from visible particles. It is supplied as single-dose vials. Each vial contains 500 mg of JEMPERLI in 10 mL of solution with a pH of 6. Each mL of solution contains 50 mg of dostarlimab-gxly, citric acid monohydrate (0.48 mg), L-arginine hydrochloride (21.07 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), sodium chloride (1.81 mg), trisodium citrate dihydrate (6.68 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.
Dosage And Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Dose 1 through 4: 500 mg every 3 weeks. ( 2.2 ) • Subsequent dosing beginning 3 weeks after Dose 4 (Dose 5 onwards): 1,000 mg every 6 weeks. ( 2.2 ) • Administer as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Mismatch Repair Deficient Recurrent or Advanced Endometrial Cancer or Mismatch Repair Deficient Recurrent or Advanced Solid Tumors Select patients for treatment with JEMPERLI based on the presence of dMMR in tumor specimens [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of dMMR status is available at https://www.fda.gov/companiondiagnostics. Because the effect of prior chemotherapy on test results for dMMR in patients with high-grade gliomas is unclear, it is recommended to test for this marker in the primary tumor specimen obtained prior to initiation of temozolomide chemotherapy in patients with high-grade gliomas. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of JEMPERLI is: • Dose 1 through Dose 4: 500 mg every 3 weeks • Subsequent dosing beginning 3 weeks after Dose 4 (Dose 5 onwards): 1,000 mg every 6 weeks Administer JEMPERLI as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes. Treat patients until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 2.3 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions No dose reductions of JEMPERLI are recommended. In general, withhold JEMPERLI for severe (Grade 3) immune‑mediated adverse reactions. Permanently discontinue JEMPERLI for life‑threatening (Grade 4) immune‑mediated adverse reactions, recurrent severe (Grade 3) immune-mediated reactions that require systemic immunosuppressive treatment, or an inability to reduce corticosteroid dose to 10 mg or less of prednisone equivalent per day within 12 weeks of initiating steroids. Dosage modifications for JEMPERLI for adverse reactions that require management different from these general guidelines are summarized in Table 1 . Table 1. Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions AST = aspartate aminotransferase, ALT = alanine aminotransferase, ULN = upper limit of normal, SJS = Stevens-Johnson syndrome, TEN = toxic epidermal necrolysis, DRESS = drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. a Based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.0. b Resume in patients with complete or partial resolution (Grade 0 to 1) after corticosteroid taper.

Clinical Pharmacology
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Binding of the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, to the PD-1 receptor found on T cells inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors, and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors. Dostarlimab-gxly is a humanized monoclonal antibody of the IgG4 isotype that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for safety and effectiveness of dostarlimab-gxly have not been fully characterized. Dostarlimab-gxly provides sustained target engagement as measured by direct PD-1 binding and stimulation of IL-2 production throughout the dosing interval at the recommended dose. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of dostarlimab-gxly were evaluated in patients with various solid tumors, including 288 patients with EC. Mean C max , AUC 0-inf , and AUC 0-tau increased proportionally over the dose range of 1 to 10 mg/kg. The Cycle 1 mean (coefficient of variation [%CV]) C max and AUC 0-tau of dostarlimab-gxly were 171 mcg/mL (20%) and 35,730 mcg*h/mL (20%) at the dosage of 500 mg once every 3 weeks and 309 mcg/mL (31%) and 95,820 mcg*h/mL (29%) at the dosage of 1,000 mg every 6 weeks, respectively. Distribution The mean (%CV) volume of distribution of dostarlimab-gxly at steady state is approximately 5.3 L (14%). Elimination The mean terminal elimination half-life of dostarlimab-gxly at steady state is 23.5 days and its mean (%CV) clearance is 0.007 L/h (30%) at steady state. Metabolism: Dostarlimab-gxly is expected to be metabolized into small peptides and amino acids by catabolic pathways. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of dostarlimab-gxly were observed based on age (24 to 86 years), sex, race/ethnicity (75% White, 2% Asian, and 4% African American), tumor type, and renal impairment based on the estimated creatinine clearance and mild [total bilirubin (TB) > ULN to 1.5 times ULN or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > ULN] to moderate (TB > 1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment.

Animal Pharmacology And Or Toxicology
13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology In animal models, inhibition of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. Mycobacterium tuberculosis -infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-1 blockade using a primate anti-PD-1 antibody was also shown to exacerbate M. tuberculosis infection in rhesus macaques. PD-L1 and PD-1 knockout mice and mice receiving PD-L1–blocking antibody have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

In 1- and 3-month repeat‑dose toxicology studies in monkeys, there were no notable effects in the male and female reproductive organs; however, many animals in these studies were not sexually mature. 13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology In animal models, inhibition of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling increased the severity of some infections and enhanced inflammatory responses. Mycobacterium tuberculosis -infected PD-1 knockout mice exhibit markedly decreased survival compared with wild-type controls, which correlated with increased bacterial proliferation and inflammatory responses in these animals. PD-1 blockade using a primate anti-PD-1 antibody was also shown to exacerbate M. tuberculosis infection in rhesus macaques. PD-L1 and PD-1 knockout mice and mice receiving PD-L1–blocking antibody have also shown decreased survival following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

MEDICATION GUIDE JEMPERLI (jem-PER-lee) (dostarlimab-gxly) injection What is the most important information I should know about JEMPERLI? JEMPERLI is a medicine that may treat certain cancers by working with your immune system. JEMPERLI can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become severe or life-threatening and can lead to death. You can have more than one of these problems at the same time. These problems may happen anytime during treatment or even after your treatment has ended. Call or see your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worsening signs or symptoms, including: Lung problems. • cough • shortness of breath • chest pain Intestinal problems. • diarrhea or more bowel movements than usual • stools that are black, tarry, sticky, or have blood or mucus • severe stomach-area (abdomen) pain or tenderness Liver problems. • yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes • severe nausea or vomiting • pain on the right side of your stomach area (abdomen) • dark urine (tea colored) • bleeding or bruising more easily than usual Hormone gland problems. • headaches that will not go away or unusual headaches • eye sensitivity to light • eye problems • rapid heartbeat • increased sweating • extreme tiredness • weight gain or weight loss • feeling more hungry or thirsty than usual • urinating more often than usual • hair loss • feeling cold • constipation • your voice gets deeper • dizziness or fainting • changes in mood or behavior, such as decreased sex drive, irritability, or forgetfulness Kidney problems. • change in the amount or color of your urine • blood in your urine • swelling in your ankles • loss of appetite Skin problems. • rash • itching • skin blistering or peeling • painful sores or ulcers in your mouth or in your nose, throat, or genital area • fever or flu-like symptoms • swollen lymph nodes Problems can also happen in other organs and tissues. These are not all of the signs and symptoms of immune system problems that can happen with JEMPERLI. Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worse signs or symptoms. • chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, swelling of ankles • confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legs • double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eyesight • persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps • low red blood cells, bruising Infusion reactions that can sometimes be severe or life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions may include: • chills or shaking • itching or rash • flushing • shortness of breath or wheezing • dizziness • feel like passing out • fever • back or neck pain Rejection of a transplanted organ. Your healthcare provider should tell you what signs and symptoms you should report and monitor you, depending on the type of organ transplant that you have had. Complications, including graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), in people who have received a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic). These complications can be serious and can lead to death. These complications may happen if you underwent transplantation either before or after being treated with JEMPERLI. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for these complications. Getting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious. Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during treatment with JEMPERLI. Your healthcare provider may treat you with corticosteroid or hormone replacement medicines. Your healthcare provider may also need to delay or completely stop treatment with JEMPERLI, if you have severe side effects. What is JEMPERLI? JEMPERLI is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with certain cancers that have been shown by a laboratory test to be mismatch repair deficient (dMMR), and your cancer has returned, or it has spread (advanced cancer). JEMPERLI may be used when: • you have a kind of uterine cancer called endometrial cancer, and you have received chemotherapy that contains platinum and it did not work or is no longer working and your cancer cannot be treated by surgery or radiation. • you have a solid tumor that progressed during treatment or after treatment, and you have no satisfactory treatment options. It is not known if JEMPERLI is safe and effective in children. Before receiving JEMPERLI, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: • have immune system problems, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or lupus. • have received an organ transplant. • have received or plan to receive a stem cell transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic). • have received radiation treatment to your chest area. • have a condition that affects your nervous system, such as myasthenia gravis or Guillain-Barré syndrome. • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. JEMPERLI can harm your unborn baby. Females who are able to become pregnant: o Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with JEMPERLI. o You should use an effective method of birth control during your treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of JEMPERLI. Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that you can use during this time. o Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with JEMPERLI. • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if JEMPERLI passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of JEMPERLI. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. How will I receive JEMPERLI? • Your healthcare provider will give you JEMPERLI into your vein through an intravenous (IV) line over 30 minutes. • JEMPERLI is usually given every 3 weeks for the first 4 doses, and then beginning 3 weeks later, it is usually given every 6 weeks. • Your healthcare provider will decide how many treatments you need. • Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check you for side effects. • If you miss any appointments, call your healthcare provider as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment. What are the possible side effects of JEMPERLI? JEMPERLI can cause serious side effects. • See “What is the most important information I should know about JEMPERLI?” The most common side effects of JEMPERLI in people with dMMR solid tumors include: • tiredness and weakness • low red blood cell count (anemia) • diarrhea • nausea • decreased number of certain white blood cells • decreased albumin in the blood • increase in certain liver blood tests • decreased salt (sodium) in the blood These are not all of the possible side effects of JEMPERLI.

Clinical Studies
14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Mismatch Repair Deficient Recurrent or Advanced Endometrial Cancer The efficacy of JEMPERLI was evaluated in the GARNET trial (NCT02715284), a multicenter, multicohort, open-label trial conducted in patients with advanced solid tumors. The efficacy population consisted of a cohort of 141 patients with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) recurrent or advanced EC who had progressed on or after treatment with a platinum‑containing regimen. Patients with prior treatment with PD‑1/PD‑L1–blocking antibodies or other immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and patients with autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy with immunosuppressant agents within 2 years were excluded from the trial. Patients received JEMPERLI 500 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by 1,000 mg intravenously every 6 weeks. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were Overall Response Rate (ORR) and Duration of Response (DOR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1. The baseline characteristics were: median age 65 years (53% aged 65 years or older); 77% White, 4% Asian, 3% Black, 4% Hispanic or Latino; and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0 (38%) or 1 (62%). The most common histology seen was endometrioid carcinoma type 1 (65%), Grade 3 endometriod (15%), followed by serous (5%), mixed (5%) and undifferentiated (2.8%). All patients with dMMR EC had received prior anticancer treatment, with 89% of patients receiving prior anticancer surgery and 71% receiving prior anticancer radiotherapy. Sixty-three percent of patients had one prior line of anticancer treatment and 37% had two or more prior lines. Forty-eight patients (34%) received treatment only in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting before participating in the study. The dMMR tumor status was retrospectively confirmed using the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel assay. Efficacy results are presented in Table 6 . Table 6.

The efficacy population consisted of a cohort of 209 patients with dMMR recurrent or advanced solid tumors who progressed following systemic therapy and had no satisfactory alternative treatment options. Patients with dMMR endometrial cancer must have progressed on or after treatment with a platinum-containing regimen. Patients with dMMR colorectal cancer must have progressed after or been intolerant to a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. Patients with prior treatment with PD‑1/PD‑L1–blocking antibodies or other immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and patients with autoimmune disease that required systemic therapy with immunosuppressant agents within 2 years were excluded from the trial. Patients received JEMPERLI 500 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by 1,000 mg intravenously every 6 weeks. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were ORR and DOR as determined by a BICR according to RECIST v 1.1. The baseline characteristics were female (77%); median age 63 years (47% aged 65 years or older); 63% White, 3% Asian, 2% Black; and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0 (39%) or 1 (61%). At time of trial entry, 97.2% of patients (103/106) with non-endometrial dMMR solid tumors had Stage IV disease, and 68.0% (70/103) of patients with dMMR endometrial tumors had FIGO Stage IV disease. Approximately 43% of patients had received 1 prior line of systemic anticancer treatment, 36% had received 2 prior lines, and 21% had received 3 or more prior lines. The dMMR tumor status was retrospectively confirmed using the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel assay. Efficacy results are presented in Tables 7 and 8 . Table 7.

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of JEMPERLI have not been established in pediatric patients.
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, JEMPERLI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are no available data on the use of JEMPERLI in pregnant women. Animal studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can lead to increased risk of immune-mediated rejection of the developing fetus resulting in fetal death (see Data). Human IgG4 immunoglobulins (IgG4) are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, dostarlimab-gxly has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with JEMPERLI to evaluate its effect on reproduction and fetal development. A central function of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is to preserve pregnancy by maintaining maternal immune tolerance to the fetus. In murine models of pregnancy, blockade of PD-L1 signaling has been shown to disrupt tolerance to the fetus and to result in an increase in fetal loss; therefore, potential risks of administering JEMPERLI during pregnancy include increased rates of abortion or stillbirth. As reported in the literature, there were no malformations related to the blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in the offspring of these animals; however, immune-mediated disorders occurred in PD-1 and PD-L1 knockout mice. Based on its mechanism of action, fetal exposure to dostarlimab-gxly may increase the risk of developing immune-mediated disorders or altering the normal immune response.
Use In Specific Populations
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed.

Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed child to JEMPERLI are unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 4 months after the last dose of JEMPERLI. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential JEMPERLI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating JEMPERLI [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )]. Contraception Females: Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JEMPERLI and for 4 months after the last dose. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of JEMPERLI have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 605 patients treated with JEMPERLI, 51.6% were younger than 65 years, 36.9% were aged 65 through 75 years, and 11.5% were 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.
