`
`-----------------------WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS-----------------------­
`
`Bone marrow suppression (particularly neutropenia) and its clinical
`
`consequences (febrile neutropenia, neutropenic infections): Monitor
`
`blood counts frequently to determine if dosage modification or initiation
`of G-CSF is needed. Primary prophylaxis with G-CSF should be
`considered in patients with high-risk clinical features. Use caution in
`
`patients with hemoglobin < 10 g/dL. (2.2)(4)(5.1)
`
`Hypersensitivity: Severe hypersensitivity reactions can occur.
`
`Premedicate with corticosteroids and H2 antagonists. Discontinue
`infusion immediately if hypersensitivity is observed and treat as
`indicated. (4)(5.2)
`
`Gastrointestinal disorders: Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur.
`
`
`Mortality related to diarrhea has been reported. Rehydrate and treat with
`anti-emetics and anti-diarrheals as needed. If experiencing Grade ≥ 3
`
`diarrhea, dosage should be modified. (2.2) Deaths have occurred due to
`
`gastrointestinal hemorrhage, perforation and neutropenic enterocolitis.
`Delay or discontinue JEVTANA. (5.3)
`Renal failure, including cases with fatal outcomes, has been reported.
`
`Identify cause and manage aggressively. (5.4)
`
`Respiratory disorders: Interstitial pneumonia/pneumonitis, interstitial
`
`lung disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome, including fatal
`outcomes, have been reported. Delay or discontinue JEVTANA and
`
`
`treat as indicated. (5.5)
`Elderly patients: Patients ≥ 65 years of age were more likely to
`
`experience fatal outcomes not related to disease progression and certain
`adverse reactions, including neutropenia and febrile neutropenia.
`
`
`
`Monitor closely. (5.6)(6)(8.5)
`Hepatic impairment: Reduce the JEVTANA dose to 20 mg/m2 in
`patients with mild hepatic impairment and to 15 mg/m2 in patients with
`
`
`moderate hepatic impairment. (2.3)
`
`JEVTANA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant
`
`woman. (5.8)(8.1)

`FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
`
`
`
`
` WARNING: NEUTROPENIA AND HYPERSENSITIVITY
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Neutropenia: Neutropenic deaths have been reported. In order to monitor the occurrence of
`
`neutropenia, frequent blood cell counts should be performed on all patients receiving JEVTANA.
`JEVTANA is contraindicated in patients with neutrophil counts of ≤1,500 cells/mm3 [see
`Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
`
`Severe hypersensitivity: Severe hypersensitivity reactions can occur and may include generalized
`rash/erythema, hypotension and bronchospasm. Severe hypersensitivity reactions require
`immediate discontinuation of the JEVTANA infusion and administration of appropriate therapy.
`Patients should receive premedication. JEVTANA is contraindicated in patients who have a
`history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to cabazitaxel or to other drugs formulated with
`polysorbate 80 [see Dosage and Administration (2.1), Contraindications (4), and Warnings and
`
`Precautions (5.2)].
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`
`
` JEVTANA® is a microtubule inhibitor indicated in combination with prednisone for the treatment of
`patients with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer previously treated with a docetaxel­
`containing treatment regimen.
`
`
`
`2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`
`2.1 Dosing Information
`
`The individual dosage of JEVTANA is based on calculation of the Body Surface Area (BSA) and is 25
`mg/m2 administered as a one-hour intravenous infusion every three weeks in combination with oral
`prednisone 10 mg administered daily throughout JEVTANA treatment.
`
`Premedicate at least 30 minutes prior to each dose of JEVTANA with the following intravenous
`
`medications to reduce the risk and/or severity of hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]:
`
` antihistamine (dexchlorpheniramine 5 mg, or diphenhydramine 25 mg or equivalent
`
`antihistamine),
` corticosteroid (dexamethasone 8 mg or equivalent steroid),
` H2 antagonist (ranitidine 50 mg or equivalent H2 antagonist).
`
`Antiemetic prophylaxis is recommended and can be given orally or intravenously as needed [see
`Warnings and Precautions 5.3)].

`

`

`
`
`2.2 Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions
`
`Reduce or discontinue JEVTANA dosing for adverse reactions as described in Table 1.
`
`Table 1: Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions in Patients Treated with
`JEVTANA
`
`
`
`Toxicity
`Prolonged grade ≥ 3 neutropenia (greater than
`1 week) despite appropriate medication
`including granulocyte-colony stimulating
`
`factor (G-CSF)
`
`Febrile neutropenia or neutropenic infection
`
`Dosage Modification
`
`Delay treatment until neutrophil count is
`> 1,500 cells/mm3, then reduce dosage of
`JEVTANA to 20 mg/m2 . Use G-CSF for
`
`secondary prophylaxis.
`Delay treatment until improvement or
`resolution, and until neutrophil count is
`> 1,500 cells/mm3, then reduce dosage of
`JEVTANA to 20 mg/m2 . Use G-CSF for
`
`secondary prophylaxis.
`Delay treatment until improvement or
`resolution, then reduce dosage of JEVTANA to
`20 mg/m2 .
`
`Delay treatment until improvement or
`resolution, then reduce dosage of JEVTANA to
`20 mg/m2 .
`Discontinue JEVTANA
`
`Grade ≥ 3 diarrhea or persisting diarrhea
`despite appropriate medication, fluid and
`
`electrolytes replacement
`Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy
`
`
`Grade ≥3 peripheral neuropathy
`
`
`
`Discontinue JEVTANA treatment if a patient continues to experience any of these reactions at
`the 20 mg/m2 dosage.
`
`2.3 Dose Modifications for Hepatic Impairment
`
` Mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1 to ≤ 1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) or AST
`
`>1.5 x ULN): Reduce JEVTANA starting dose to 20 mg/m2 .
`
` Moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to ≤ 3 x ULN and AST = any): Reduce
`
`JEVTANA starting dose to 15 mg/m2 based on tolerability data in these patients; however, the
`efficacy of this dose is unknown.
`
` Severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 X ULN): JEVTANA is contraindicated in patients
`
`with severe hepatic impairment [see Warning and Precautions (5.6) and Clinical Pharmacology
`(12.3)].
`
`
`
`2.4 Dose Modifications for Use with Strong CYP3A Inhibitors
`
`
`Concomitant drugs that are strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole,
`clarithromycin, atazanavir, indinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin,
`
`voriconazole) may increase plasma concentrations of cabazitaxel. Avoid the coadministration of
`JEVTANA with these drugs. If patients require co-administration of a strong CYP3A inhibitor,
`consider a 25% JEVTANA dose reduction [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical
`
`Reference ID: 3984498
`
`
`4
`
`MYLAN PHARMS. INC. EXHIBIT 1138 PAGE 4
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
` Pharmacology (12.3)].
`
`2.5 Preparation and Administration
`
`
`JEVTANA is a cytotoxic anticancer drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures
`[see References (15)].1 If JEVTANA first diluted solution, or second (final) dilution for intravenous
`infusion should come into contact with the skin or mucous, immediately and thoroughly wash with soap
`and water.
`
`Do not use PVC infusion containers or polyurethane infusions sets for preparation and administration of
`JEVTANA infusion solution.
`
`JEVTANA should not be mixed with any other drugs.
`
`
`
`Preparation
`Read this entire section carefully before mixing and diluting. JEVTANA requires two dilutions prior to
`administration. Follow the preparation instructions provided below, as improper preparation may lead to
`overdose [see Overdosage (10)].
`
`
`Note: Both the JEVTANA injection and the diluent vials contain an overfill to compensate for liquid
`loss during preparation. This overfill ensures that after dilution with the entire contents of the
`
`accompanying diluent, there is an initial diluted solution containing 10 mg/mL JEVTANA.
`
`
`
`Inspect the JEVTANA injection and supplied diluent vials. The JEVTANA injection is a clear yellow to
`brownish-yellow viscous solution.
`
`
`Step 1 – First Dilution
`
`Each vial of JEVTANA (cabazitaxel) 60 mg/1.5 mL must first be mixed with the entire contents of
`
`supplied diluent. Once reconstituted, the resultant solution contains 10 mg/mL of JEVTANA.
`
`When transferring the diluent, direct the needle onto the inside wall of JEVTANA vial and inject slowly
`to limit foaming. Remove the syringe and needle and gently mix the initial diluted solution by repeated
`inversions for at least 45 seconds to assure full mixing of the drug and diluent. Do not shake.
`
`Let the solution stand for a few minutes to allow any foam to dissipate, and check that the solution is
`homogeneous and contains no visible particulate matter. It is not required that all foam dissipate prior to
`continuing the preparation process.
`
`The resulting initial diluted JEVTANA solution (cabazitaxel 10 mg/mL) requires further dilution before
`administration. The second dilution should be done immediately (within 30 minutes) to obtain the final
`infusion as detailed in Step 2.
`
`
`
`Reference ID: 3984498

`
`5
`
`MYLAN PHARMS. INC. EXHIBIT 1138 PAGE 5
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
` Step 2 – Second (Final) Dilution
`
` Withdraw the recommended dose from the JEVTANA solution containing 10 mg/mL as prepared in Step
`
`
` 1 using a calibrated syringe and further dilute into a sterile 250 mL PVC-free container of either 0.9%
`sodium chloride solution or 5% dextrose solution for infusion. If a dose greater than 65 mg of
`JEVTANA is required, use a larger volume of the infusion vehicle so that a concentration of 0.26 mg/mL
`JEVTANA is not exceeded. The concentration of the JEVTANA final infusion solution should be
`between 0.10 mg/mL and 0.26 mg/mL.
`
`Remove the syringe and thoroughly mix the final infusion solution by gently inverting the bag or bottle.
`
`As the final infusion solution is supersaturated, it may crystallize over time. Do not use if this occurs and
`discard.
`
`
`
`Fully prepared JEVTANA infusion solution (in either 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% dextrose
`solution) should be used within 8 hours at ambient temperature (including the one-hour infusion), or for a
`
`total of 24 hours (including the one-hour infusion) under the refrigerated conditions.
`
`Discard any unused portion.
`
`
`
`Administration
`Inspect visually for particulate matter, any crystals and discoloration prior to administration. If the
`JEVTANA first diluted solution or second (final) infusion solution is not clear or appears to have
`precipitation, it should be discarded.
`Use an in-line filter of 0.22 micrometer nominal pore size (also referred to as 0.2 micrometer) during
`administration.
`
`
`
`The final JEVTANA infusion solution should be administered intravenously as a one-hour infusion at
`room temperature.
`
`
`3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

`

`
`
`
`
`
`5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`
`5.1 Bone Marrow Suppression
`
`Bone marrow suppression manifested as neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia and/or pancytopenia
`may occur. Neutropenic deaths have been reported. In the randomized trial, five patients (1.3%)
`experienced fatal infectious adverse events (sepsis or septic shock). All had grade 4 neutropenia and one
`had febrile neutropenia. One additional patient’s death was attributed to neutropenia without a
`documented infection. Grade 3-4 neutropenia has been observed in 82% of patients treated with
`JEVTANA in the randomized trial.
`
`G-CSF may be administered to reduce the risks of neutropenia complications associated with JEVTANA
`use. Primary prophylaxis with G-CSF should be considered in patients with high-risk clinical features
`(age > 65 years, poor performance status, previous episodes of febrile neutropenia, extensive prior
`radiation ports, poor nutritional status, or other serious comorbidities) that predispose them to increased
`complications from prolonged neutropenia. Therapeutic use of G-CSF and secondary prophylaxis should
`be considered in all patients considered to be at increased risk for neutropenia complications.
`
`
`Monitoring of complete blood counts is essential on a weekly basis during cycle 1 and before each
`treatment cycle thereafter so that the dose can be adjusted, if needed [see Dosage and Administration
`(2.2)].
`
`JEVTANA is contraindicated in patients with neutrophils ≤ 1,500/mm3 [see Contraindications (4)].
`
`
`Caution is recommended in patients with hemoglobin < 10 g/dl.
`
`
`
`5.2 Hypersensitivity Reactions
`
`
`Hypersensitivity reactions may occur within a few minutes following the initiation of the infusion of
`JEVTANA, thus facilities and equipment for the treatment of hypotension and bronchospasm should be
`available. Severe hypersensitivity reactions can occur and may include generalized rash/erythema,
`hypotension and bronchospasm.
`
`
`Premedicate all patients prior to the initiation of the infusion of JEVTANA [see Dosage and
`Administration (2.1)]. Observe patients closely for hypersensitivity reactions, especially during the first
`and second infusions. Severe hypersensitivity reactions require immediate discontinuation of the
`JEVTANA infusion and appropriate therapy. JEVTANA is contraindicated in patients with a history of
`severe hypersensitivity reactions to cabazitaxel or to other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80 [see
`Contraindications (4)].
`
`
`
`5.3 Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions
`
`Nausea, vomiting and severe diarrhea, at times, may occur. Death related to diarrhea and electrolyte
`imbalance occurred in the randomized clinical trial. Intensive measures may be required for severe
`
`Reference ID: 3984498
`
`
`7
`
`MYLAN PHARMS. INC. EXHIBIT 1138 PAGE 7
`
`

`

`
`
`diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance. Antiemetic prophylaxis is recommended. Treat patients with
`rehydration, anti-diarrheal or anti-emetic medications as needed. Treatment delay or dosage reduction
`may be necessary if patients experience Grade ≥ 3 diarrhea [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
`
`
`Gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage and perforation, ileus, enterocolitis, neutropenic enterocolitis, including
`fatal outcome, have been reported in patients treated with JEVTANA [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].
`Risk may be increased with neutropenia, age, steroid use, concomitant use of NSAIDs, anti-platelet
`therapy or anti-coagulants, and patients with a prior history of pelvic radiotherapy, adhesions, ulceration
`and GI bleeding.
`
`Abdominal pain and tenderness, fever, persistent constipation, diarrhea, with or without neutropenia, may
`be early manifestations of serious gastrointestinal toxicity and should be evaluated and treated promptly.
`JEVTANA treatment delay or discontinuation may be necessary.
`
`5.4 Renal Failure
`
`
`
`In the randomized clinical trial, renal failure of any grade occurred in 4% of the patients being treated
`with JEVTANA, including four cases with fatal outcome. Most cases occurred in association with
`sepsis, dehydration, or obstructive uropathy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Some deaths due to renal
`failure did not have a clear etiology. Appropriate measures should be taken to identify causes of renal
`failure and treat aggressively.
`
`5.5 Respiratory Disorders
`
`
`
`Interstitial pneumonia/pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome have
`been reported and may be associated with fatal outcome [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. Patients with
`underlying lung disease may be at higher risk for these events. Acute respiratory distress syndrome may
`occur in the setting of infection.
`
`
`
`Interrupt JEVTANA if new or worsening pulmonary symptoms develop. Closely monitor, promptly
`investigate, and appropriately treat patients receiving JEVTANA. Consider discontinuation. The benefit
`of resuming JEVTANA treatment must be carefully evaluated.
`
`
`
`5.6 Use in Elderly Patients
`
`
`In the randomized clinical trial, 3 of 131 (2%) patients < 65 years of age and 15 of 240 (6%) ≥ 65 years
`of age died of causes other than disease progression within 30 days of the last cabazitaxel dose. Patients
`≥ 65 years of age are more likely to experience certain adverse reactions, including neutropenia and
`febrile neutropenia [see Adverse Reactions (6) and Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].
`
`
`
`
`5.7 Use in Patients with Hepatic Impairment
`
`Cabazitaxel is extensively metabolized in the liver.
`
`Reference ID: 3984498
`
`
`8
`
`MYLAN PHARMS. INC. EXHIBIT 1138 PAGE 8
`
`

`

`
`
`JEVTANA is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 x ULN) [see
`Contraindications (4)]. Dose should be reduced for patients with mild (total bilirubin > 1 to ≤ 1.5 x ULN
`or AST > 1.5 x ULN) and moderate (total bilirubin > 1.5 to ≤ 3.0 x ULN and any AST) hepatic
`
`impairment, based on tolerability data in these patients [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Use in
`
` Specific Populations (8.7)]. Administration of cabazitaxel to patients with mild and moderate hepatic
`impairment should be undertaken with caution and close monitoring of safety.
`
`5.8 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
`
`
`JEVTANA is not indicated for use in female patients.
`
`
`
`JEVTANA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In non-clinical studies in rats
`and rabbits, cabazitaxel was embryotoxic, fetotoxic, and abortifacient at exposures significantly lower
`than those expected at the recommended human dose level.
`
`There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women using JEVTANA. 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. Females of childbearing potential should be advised to
`avoid becoming pregnant during treatment with JEVTANA [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

`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.
`
`The safety of JEVTANA in combination with prednisone was evaluated in 371 patients with hormone-
`refractory metastatic prostate cancer treated in a single randomized trial, compared to mitoxantrone plus
`prednisone.
`
`Deaths due to causes other than disease progression within 30 days of last study drug dose were reported
`in 18 (5%) JEVTANA-treated patients and 3 (< 1%) mitoxantrone-treated patients. The most common

`
`
`fatal adverse reactions in JEVTANA-treated patients were infections (n=5) and renal failure (n=4). The
`majority (4 of 5 patients) of fatal infection-related adverse reactions occurred after a single dose of
`JEVTANA. Other fatal adverse reactions in JEVTANA-treated patients included ventricular fibrillation,
`cerebral hemorrhage, and dyspnea.
`
`The most common (≥ 10%) grade 1-4 adverse reactions were anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia,
`thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, constipation, asthenia, abdominal pain, hematuria,
`back pain, anorexia, peripheral neuropathy, pyrexia, dyspnea, dysguesia, cough, arthralgia, and alopecia.
`
`The most common (≥ 5%) grade 3-4 adverse reactions in patients who received JEVTANA were
`neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, and asthenia.

`Treatment discontinuations due to adverse drug reactions occurred in 18% of patients who received
`JEVTANA and 8% of patients who received mitoxantrone. The most common adverse reactions leading
`to treatment discontinuation in the JEVTANA group were neutropenia and renal failure. Dose reductions
`were reported in 12% of JEVTANA-treated patients and 4% of mitoxantrone-treated patients. Dose
`delays were reported in 28% of JEVTANA-treated patients and 15% of mitoxantrone-treated patients.

`
`Neutropenia and Associated Clinical Events:
`
`Five patients experienced fatal infectious adverse events (sepsis or septic shock). All had grade 4
`neutropenia and one had febrile neutropenia. One additional patient’s death was attributed to neutropenia
`without a documented infection. Twenty-two (6%) patients discontinued JEVTANA treatment due to
`neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, infection, or sepsis. The most common adverse reaction leading to
`treatment discontinuation in the JEVTANA group was neutropenia (2%).

`

`
`
`Hematuria:
`Adverse events of hematuria, including those requiring medical intervention, were more common in
`
`JEVTANA-treated patients. The incidence of grade ≥ 2 hematuria was 6% in JEVTANA-treated patients
`and 2% in mitoxantrone-treated patients. Other factors associated with hematuria were well-balanced
`between arms and do not account for the increased rate of hematuria on the JEVTANA arm.
`
`
`Hepatic Laboratory Abnormalities:
`The incidences of grade 3-4 increased AST, increased ALT, and increased bilirubin were each
`≤ 1%.
`
`Elderly Population:
`The following grade 1-4 adverse reactions were reported at rates  5% higher in patients 65 years of age
`or greater compared to younger patients: fatigue (40% vs. 30%), neutropenia (97% vs. 89%), asthenia
`(24% vs. 15%), pyrexia (15% vs. 8%), dizziness (10% vs. 5%), urinary tract infection (10% vs. 3%) and
`dehydration (7% vs. 2%), respectively.
`
`The incidence of the following grade 3-4 adverse reactions were higher in patients  65
