( 5.6 ) 5.1 Serious Infusion-Related Reactions DANYELZA can cause serious infusion reactions requiring urgent intervention including fluid resuscitation, administration of bronchodilators and corticosteroids, intensive care unit admission, infusion rate reduction or interruption of DANYELZA infusion. Infusion-related reactions included hypotension, bronchospasm, hypoxia, and stridor [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Serious infusion-related reactions occurred in 4% of patients in Study 201 and in 18% of patients in Study 12-230. Infusion-related reactions of any Grade occurred in 100% of patients in Study 201 and 94% of patients in Study 12-230. Hypotension of any grade occurred in 100% of patients in Study 201 and 89% of patients in Study 12-230. In Study 201, 68% of patients experienced Grade 3 or 4 infusion reactions; and in Study 12-230, 32% of patients experienced Grade 3 or 4 infusion reactions. Anaphylaxis occurred in 12% of patients and 2 patients (8%) permanently discontinued DANYELZA due to anaphylaxis in Study 201. One patient in Study 12-230 (1.4%) experienced a Grade 4 cardiac arrest 1.5 hours following completion of DANYELZA infusion. In Study 201, infusion reactions generally occurred within 24 hours of completing a DANYELZA infusion, most often within 30 minutes of initiation. Infusion reactions were most frequent during the first infusion of DANYELZA in each cycle. Eighty percent of patients required reduction in infusion rate and 80% of patients had an infusion interrupted for at least one infusion-related reaction. Caution is advised in patients with pre-existing cardiac disease, as this may exacerbate the risk of severe hypotension. Premedicate with an antihistamine, acetaminophen, an H2 antagonist and corticosteroid as recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of infusion reactions during and for at least 2 hours following completion of each DANYELZA infusion in a setting where cardiopulmonary resuscitation medication and equipment are available. Reduce the rate, interrupt infusion, or permanently discontinue DANYELZA based on severity and institute appropriate medical management as needed [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Contraindications (4) ]. 5.2 Neurotoxicity DANYELZA can cause severe neurotoxicity, including severe neuropathic pain, transverse myelitis, and reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome. Pain Pain, including abdominal pain, bone pain, neck pain, and extremity pain, occurred in 100% of patients in Study 201 and 94% of patients in Study 12-230. Grade 3 pain occurred in 72% of patients in Study 201. One patient in Study 201 (4%) required interruption of an infusion due to pain. Pain typically began during the infusion of DANYELZA and lasted a median of less than one day in Study 201 (range less than one day and up to 62 days) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Premedicate with drugs that treat neuropathic pain (e.g., gabapentin) and oral opioids. Administer intravenous opioids as needed for breakthrough pain [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ].

Use in specific populations
Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, DANYELZA may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ]. There are no available data on the use of DANYELZA in pregnant women and no animal reproduction studies have been conducted with DANYELZA. IgG1 monoclonal antibodies are transported across the placenta in a linear fashion as pregnancy progresses, with the largest amount transferred during the third trimester. Advise pregnant women of 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. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of naxitamab-gqgk in human milk or its effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production, however, human IgG is present in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child from DANYELZA, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 2 months after the last dose of DANYELZA. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential DANYELZA may 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 DANYELZA. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 2 months after the last dose of DANYELZA. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of DANYELZA, in combination with GM-CSF for the treatment of relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma in the bone or bone marrow who have demonstrated a partial response, minor response or stable disease following prior therapy, have been established in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older. Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 1 year of age. 8.5 Geriatric Use Neuroblastoma is largely a disease of pediatric and young adult patients. Clinical studies of DANYELZA in combination with GM-CSF did not include patients 65 years of age and older.

Description
Naxitamab-gqgk is a glycolipid disialoganglioside (GD2)-binding recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody, that contains human framework regions and murine complementarity-determining regions. Naxitamab-gqgk is produced in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line and has an approximate molecular weight of 144 kDa without glycosylation. DANYELZA (naxitamab-gqgk) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent and colorless to slightly yellow solution for intravenous infusion. Each single-dose vial contains 40 mg of naxitamab-gqgk in 10 mL of solution. Each mL of solution contains 4 mg of naxitamab-gqgk, and citric acid anhydrous (0.71 mg), poloxamer 188 (1.5 mg), sodium chloride (7.01 mg), sodium citrate (6.3 mg), and Water for Injection, USP. The pH is approximately 5.7.
Mechanism of action
12.1 Mechanism of Action Naxitamab-gqgk binds to the glycolipid GD2. GD2 is a disialoganglioside that is overexpressed on neuroblastoma cells and other cells of neuroectodermal origin, including the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. In vitro, naxitamab-gqgk was able to bind to cell surface GD2 and induce complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
