Detailed description

Prophylaxis, premedications, and post-medications for the treatment of patients with r/r FL

Odronextamab should be administered to well-hydrated patients.

Premedications must be administered for each dose in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, Days 1 and 8 and post-medications for Cycle 1, Days 3, 10, and 17 and Cycle 2, Day 2 as described in Table 1 to reduce the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or infusion-related reactions (IRR). Premedications may be continued beyond Cycle 2, Day 8 until the dose is tolerated without experiencing CRS or IRR. In addition, prophylaxis is recommended to reduce the risk of infection, tumour lysis syndrome (TLS), and corticosteroid-induced gastrointestinal (GI) adverse reactions.
