`
`FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
`1
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`TORISEL is indicated for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma.
`2
`DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`2.1
`Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
`The recommended dose of TORISEL for advanced renal cell carcinoma is 25 mg infused over a
`30-60 minute period once a week.
`Treatment should continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
`2.2
`Premedication
`Patients should receive prophylactic intravenous diphenhydramine 25 to 50 mg (or similar
`antihistamine) approximately 30 minutes before the start of each dose of TORISEL [see
`Hypersensitivity Reactions (5.1)].
`2.3
`Dosage Interruption/Adjustment
`TORISEL should be held for absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1,000/mm3, platelet count <
`75,000/mm3, or NCI CTCAE grade 3 or greater adverse reactions. Once toxicities have resolved
`to grade 2 or less, TORISEL may be restarted with the dose reduced by 5 mg/week to a dose no
`lower than 15 mg/week.
`2.4
`Dose Modification Guidelines
`Concomitant Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: The concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
`should be avoided (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, atazanavir, indinavir,
`nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, and voriconazole). Grapefruit juice
`may also increase plasma concentrations of sirolimus (a major metabolite of temsirolimus) and
`should be avoided. If patients must be co-administered a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, based on
`pharmacokinetic studies, a TORISEL dose reduction to 12.5 mg/week should be considered.
`This dose of TORISEL is predicted to adjust the AUC to the range observed without inhibitors.
`However, there are no clinical data with this dose adjustment in patients receiving strong
`CYP3A4 inhibitors. If the strong inhibitor is discontinued, a washout period of approximately 1
`week should be allowed before the TORISEL dose is adjusted back to the dose used prior to
`initiation of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]
`
`Concomitant Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: The use of concomitant strong CYP3A4 inducers should
`be avoided (e.g. dexamethasone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifampacin,
`phenobarbital). If patients must be co-administered a strong CYP3A4 inducer, based on
`pharmacokinetic studies, a TORISEL dose increase from 25 mg/week up to 50 mg/week should
`be considered. This dose of TORISEL is predicted to adjust the AUC to the range observed
`without inducers. However, there are no clinical data with this dose adjustment in patients
`receiving strong CYP3A4 inducers. If the strong inducer is discontinued the temsirolimus dose
`should be returned to the dose used prior to initiation of the strong CYP3A4 inducer. [see Drug
`Interactions (7.1)]
`

`
`Ex. 1087-0002
`
`

`
`
`Instructions for Preparation and Administration
`2.5
`TORISEL must be stored under refrigeration at 2°-8°C (36°-46°F) and protected from light.
`During handling and preparation of admixtures, TORISEL should be protected from excessive
`room light and sunlight. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate
`matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
`In order to minimize the patient exposure to the plasticizer DEHP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate),
`which may be leached from PVC infusion bags or sets, the final TORISEL dilution for infusion
`should be stored in bottles (glass, polypropylene) or plastic bags (polypropylene, polyolefin) and
`administered through polyethylene-lined administration sets.
`
`Dilution:
`In preparing the TORISEL administration solution, follow this two-step dilution process in an
`aseptic manner.
`Step 1:
`Inject 1.8 mL of DILUENT for TORISEL into the vial of TORISEL (temsirolimus) injection (25
`mg/ml). The TORISEL (temsirolimus) vial contains an overfill of 0.2 mL (30 mg/1.2 mL). Due
`to the intentional overfill in the TORISEL injection vial, the drug concentration of the resulting
`solution will be 10 mg/mL. A total volume of 3 mL will be obtained including the overfill. Mix
`well by inversion of the vial. Allow sufficient time for air bubbles to subside. This 10 mg/mL
`drug solution/diluent mixture must be further diluted as described in Step 2 below.
`The solution is clear to slightly turbid, colorless to yellow, and free from visual particulates. The
`10 mg/mL drug solution/diluent mixture is stable for up to 24 hours at controlled room
`temperature.
`Step 2:
`Withdraw the required amount of temsirolimus from the 10 mg/mL drug solution/diluent mixture
`prepared in Step 1. Inject rapidly into a 250 mL container (glass, polyolefin, or polyethylene) of
`0.9% sodium chloride injection. Mix the admixture by inversion of the bag or bottle. Avoid
`excessive shaking as this may cause foaming.
`Administration:
`The sodium chloride injection container should be composed of non-DEHP containing
`materials, such as glass, polyolefin or polyethylene, and the administration set should
`consist of non-DEHP tubing to avoid extraction of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).
`TORISEL contains polysorbate 80, which is known to increase the rate of di-(2-
`ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) extraction from PVC.
`An in-line polyethersulfone filter with a pore size of not greater than 5 microns is
`recommended for administration.
`The final diluted solution of TORISEL is intravenously infused over a 30-60 minute
`period once a week. The use of an infusion pump is the preferred method of
`administration to ensure accurate delivery of the drug.

`
`

`
`
`•
`
`Administration of the final diluted infusion solution should be completed within six hours
`from the time that the drug solution/diluent mixture is added to the sodium chloride
`injection.
`Compatibilities and Incompatibilities
`Undiluted TORISEL injection should not be added directly to aqueous infusion solutions. Direct
`addition of TORISEL injection to aqueous solutions will result in precipitation of drug. Always
`combine TORISEL injection with DILUENT for TORISEL before adding to infusion solutions.
`It is recommended that TORISEL be administered in 0.9% sodium chloride injection after
`combining with diluent. The stability of TORISEL in other infusion solutions has not been
`evaluated. Addition of other drugs or nutritional agents to admixtures of TORISEL in sodium
`chloride injection has not been evaluated and should be avoided. Temsirolimus is degraded by
`both acids and bases, and thus combinations of temsirolimus with agents capable of modifying
`solution pH should be avoided.
`3
`DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
`TORISEL (temsirolimus) is supplied as a kit consisting of the following:
`•
`TORISEL (temsirolimus) injection (25 mg/ml). The TORISEL vial includes an overfill of
`0.2 mL.

`None.
`WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`5
`5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions
`Hypersensitivity reactions manifested by symptoms including, but not limited to, anaphylaxis,
`dyspnea, flushing, and chest pain have been observed with TORISEL.
`TORISEL should be used with caution in persons with known hypersensitivity to temsirolimus
`or its metabolites (including sirolimus), polysorbate 80, or to any other component (including the
`excipients) of TORISEL.
`An H1 antihistamine should be administered to patients before the start of the intravenous
`temsirolimus infusion. TORISEL should be used with caution in patients with known
`hypersensitivity to an antihistamine, or patients who cannot receive an antihistamine for other
`medical reasons.
`If a patient develops a hypersensitivity reaction during the TORISEL infusion, the infusion
`should be stopped and the patient should be observed for at least 30 to 60 minutes (depending on
`the severity of the reaction). At the discretion of the physician, treatment may be resumed with
`the administration of an H1-receptor antagonist (such as diphenhydramine), if not previously
`administered [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)], and/or an H2-receptor antagonist (such as
`intravenous famotidine 20 mg or intravenous ranitidine 50 mg) approximately 30 minutes before
`
`4
`
`Ex. 1087-0004
`
`

`
`
`restarting the TORISEL infusion. The infusion may then be resumed at a slower rate (up to 60
`minutes).
`5.2 Hyperglycemia/Glucose Intolerance
`The use of TORISEL is likely to result in increases in serum glucose. In the phase 3 trial, 89% of
`patients receiving TORISEL had at least one elevated serum glucose while on treatment, and
`26% of patients reported hyperglycemia as an adverse event. This may result in the need for an
`increase in the dose of, or initiation of, insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agent therapy. Serum
`glucose should be tested before and during treatment with TORISEL. Patients should be advised
`to report excessive thirst or any increase in the volume or frequency of urination.
`5.3
`Infections
`The use of TORISEL may result in immunosuppression. Patients should be carefully observed
`for the occurrence of infections, including opportunistic infections [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
`
`Interstitial Lung Disease
`5.4
`Cases of interstitial lung disease, some resulting in death, occurred in patients who received
`TORISEL. Some patients were asymptomatic with infiltrates detected on computed tomography
`scan or chest radiograph. Others presented with symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, hypoxia, and
`fever. Some patients required discontinuation of TORISEL and/or treatment with corticosteroids
`and/or antibiotics, while some patients continued treatment without additional intervention.
`Patients should be advised to report promptly any new or worsening respiratory symptoms.
`
`5.5 Hyperlipemia
`The use of TORISEL is likely to result in increases in serum triglycerides and cholesterol. In the
`phase 3 trial, 87% of patients receiving TORISEL had at least one elevated serum cholesterol
`value and 83% had at least one elevated serum triglyceride value. This may require initiation, or
`increase in the dose, of lipid-lowering agents. Serum cholesterol and triglycerides should be
`tested before and during treatment with TORISEL.
`
`Bowel Perforation
`5.6
`Cases of fatal bowel perforation occurred in patients who received TORISEL. These patients
`presented with fever, abdominal pain, metabolic acidosis, bloody stools, diarrhea, and/or acute
`abdomen. Patients should be advised to report promptly any new or worsening abdominal pain
`or blood in their stools.
`5.7
`Renal Failure
`Cases of rapidly progressive and sometimes fatal acute renal failure not clearly related to disease
`progression occurred in patients who received TORISEL. Some of these cases were not
`responsive to dialysis.
`5.8 Wound Healing Complications
`Use of TORISEL has been associated with abnormal wound healing. Therefore, caution should
`be exercised with the use of TORISEL in the perioperative period.
`
`
`5
`
`Ex. 1087-0005
`
`

`
`Intracerebral Hemorrhage
`
`
`5.9
`
`Patients with central nervous system tumors (primary CNS tumor or metastases) and/or receiving
`anticoagulation therapy may be at an increased risk of developing intracerebral bleeding
`(including fatal outcomes) while receiving TORISEL.
`5.10 Co-administration with Inducers or Inhibitors of CYP3A Metabolism
`Agents Inducing CYP3A Metabolism:
`
`Strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 such as dexamethasone, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital,
`rifampin, rifabutin, and rifampacin may decrease exposure of the active metabolite, sirolimus. If
`alternative treatment cannot be administered, a dose adjustment should be considered. St. John’s
`Wort may decrease TORISEL plasma concentrations unpredictably. Patients receiving
`TORISEL should not take St. John’s Wort concomitantly. [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)
`and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
`
`Agents Inhibiting CYP3A Metabolism:
`Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole,
`ketoconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, and telithromycin may increase blood
`concentrations of the active metabolite sirolimus. If alternative treatments cannot be
`administered, a dose adjustment should be considered. [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and
`Drug Interactions (7.2)].
`
`5.11 Concomitant use of TORISEL with sunitinib
`
`The combination of TORISEL and sunitinib resulted in dose-limiting toxicity. Dose-limiting
`toxicities (Grade 3/4 erythematous maculopapular rash, and gout/cellulitis requiring
`hospitalization) were observed in two out of three patients treated in the first cohort of a phase 1
`study at doses of TORISEL 15 mg IV per week and sunitinib 25 mg oral per day (Days 1-28
`followed by a 2-week rest).
`5.12 Vaccinations
`The use of live vaccines and close contact with those who have received live vaccines should be
`avoided during treatment with TORISEL. Examples of live vaccines are: intranasal influenza,
`measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, BCG, yellow fever, varicella, and TY21a typhoid vaccines.
`
`5.13 Pregnancy
`Pregnancy Category D
`Temsirolimus administered daily as an oral formulation caused embryo-fetal and intrauterine
`toxicities in rats and rabbits at human sub-therapeutic exposures. Embryo-fetal adverse effects in
`rats consisted of reduced fetal weight and reduced ossifications, and in rabbits included reduced
`fetal weight, omphalocele, bifurcated sternabrae, notched ribs, and incomplete ossifications.
`In rats, the intrauterine and embryo-fetal adverse effects were observed at the oral dose of 2.7
`mg/m2/day (approximately 0.04-fold the AUC in cancer patients at the human recommended
`dose). In rabbits, the intrauterine and embryo-fetal adverse effects were observed at the oral
`
`6
`
`Ex. 1087-0006
`
`

`
`
`dose of ≥7.2 mg/m2/day (approximately 0.12-fold the AUC in cancer patients at the
`recommended human dose).
`Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant throughout
`treatment and for 3 months after TORISEL therapy has stopped. Temsirolimus can cause fetal
`harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the
`patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential
`hazard to the fetus.
`Men should be counseled regarding the effects of TORISEL on the fetus and sperm prior to
`starting treatment [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. Men with partners of childbearing
`potential should use reliable contraception throughout treatment and are recommended to
`continue this for 3 months after the last dose of TORISEL.
`5.14 Monitoring Laboratory Tests
`In the randomized, phase 3 trial, complete blood counts (CBCs) were checked weekly, and
`chemistry panels were checked every two weeks. Laboratory monitoring for patients receiving
`TORISEL may need to be performed more or less frequently at the physician’s discretion.
`6
`ADVERSE REACTIONS
`The following serious adverse reactions have been associated with TORISEL in clinical trials
`and are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label [see Warnings and Precautions
`(5)].
`Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
`Hyperglycemia/Glucose Intolerance [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
`Interstitial Lung Disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
`Hyperlipemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
`Bowel Perforation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]
`Renal Failure (see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)]
`The most common (≥ 30%) adverse reactions observed with TORISEL are rash, asthenia,
`mucositis, nausea, edema, and anorexia. The most common (≥ 30%) laboratory abnormalities
`observed with TORISEL are anemia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipemia, hypertriglyceridemia,
`lymphopenia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, elevated serum creatinine, hypophosphatemia,
`thrombocytopenia, elevated AST, and leukopenia.
`6.1
`Clinical Trials Experience
`Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates
`observed cannot be directly compared to rates in other trials and may not reflect the rates
`observed in clinical practice.
`In the Phase 3 randomized, open-label study of interferon alfa (IFN-α) alone, TORISEL alone,
`and TORISEL and IFN-α, a total of 616 patients were treated. Two hundred patients received
`IFN-α weekly, 208 received TORISEL 25 mg weekly, and 208 patients received a combination
`of TORISEL and IFN-α weekly [see Clinical Studies (14)].
`
`7
`
`Ex. 1087-0007
`
`

`
`
`Treatment with the combination of TORISEL 15 mg and IFN-α was associated with an increased
`incidence of multiple adverse reactions and did not result in a significant increase in overall
`survival when compared with IFN-α alone.
`Table 1 shows the percentage of patients experiencing treatment emergent adverse reactions.
`Reactions reported in at least 10% of patients who received TORISEL 25 mg alone or IFN-α
`alone are listed. Table 2 shows the percentage of patients experiencing selected laboratory
`abnormalities. Data for the same adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities in the IFN-α
`alone arm are shown for comparison.

`
`DRUG INTERACTIONS
`
`Agents Inducing CYP3A Metabolism
`7.1
`Co-administration of TORISEL with rifampin, a potent CYP3A4/5 inducer, had no significant
`effect on temsirolimus Cmax (maximum concentration) and AUC (area under the concentration
`
`10
`
`Ex. 1087-0010
`
`

`
`
`versus the time curve) after intravenous administration, but decreased sirolimus Cmax by 65% and
`AUC by 56% compared to TORISEL treatment alone. If alternative treatment cannot be
`administered, a dose adjustment should be considered [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`7.2
`Agents Inhibiting CYP3A Metabolism
`Co-administration of TORISEL with ketoconazole, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, had no
`significant effect on temsirolimus Cmax or AUC; however, sirolimus AUC increased 3.1-fold, and
`Cmax increased 2.2-fold compared to TORISEL alone. If alternative treatment cannot be
`administered, a dose adjustment should be considered. [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`7.3
`Interactions with Drugs Metabolized by CYP2D6
`The concentration of desipramine, a CYP2D6 substrate, was unaffected when 25 mg of
`TORISEL was co-administered. No clinically significant effect is anticipated when temsirolimus
`is co-administered with agents that are metabolized by CYP2D6 or CYP3A4.
`8
`USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
`8.1
`Pregnancy
`Pregnancy Category D [see Warnings and Precautions (5.13)].
`8.3
`Nursing Mothers
`It is not known whether TORISEL is excreted into human milk, and due to the potential for
`tumorigenicity shown for sirolimus (active metabolite of TORISEL) in animal studies, a decision
`should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue TORISEL, taking into account the
`importance of the drug to the mother.
`8.4
`Pediatric Use
`The safety and effectiveness of TORISEL in pediatric patients have not been established.
`8.5 Geriatric Use
`Clinical studies of TORISEL did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and older to
`determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.
`
`Renal Impairment
`8.6
`No clinical studies were conducted with TORISEL in patients with decreased renal function.
`Less than 5% of total radioactivity was excreted in the urine following a 25 mg intravenous dose
`of [14C]-labeled temsirolimus in healthy subjects. Renal impairment is not expected to markedly
`influence drug exposure, and no dosage adjustment of TORISEL is recommended in patients
`with renal impairment.
`TORISEL has not been studied in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
`8.7 Hepatic Impairment
`Temsirolimus is cleared predominantly by the liver. No data are currently available regarding
`the influence of hepatic dysfunction on temsirolimus disposition.

`OVERDOSAGE
`There is no specific treatment for TORISEL intravenous overdose. TORISEL
`has been administered to patients with cancer in phase 1 and 2 trials with repeated intravenous
`doses as high as 220 mg/m2. The risk of several serious adverse events, including thrombosis,
`bowel perforation, interstitial lung disease (ILD), seizure, and psychosis, is increased with doses
`of TORISEL greater than 25 mg.

`DESCRIPTION
`Temsirolimus, an inhibitor of mTOR, is an antineoplastic agent.
`Temsirolimus is a white to off-white powder with a molecular formula of C56H87NO16 and a
`molecular weight of 1030.30. It is non-hygroscopic. Temsirolimus is practically insoluble in
`water and soluble in alcohol. It has no ionizable functional groups, and its solubility is
`independent of pH.
`The chemical name of temsirolimus is
`(3S,6R,7E,9R,10R,12R,14S,15E,17E,19E,21S,23S,26R,27R,34aS)-9,10,12,13,14,21,22,23,24,25,
