Dosing in kidney impairment

This label has no separate kidney-impairment dosing section. Check warnings and clinical pharmacology in the full label.

Dosing in liver impairment

Hepatic Impairment Reduce the dose of COSELA to 170 mg/m 2 in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classes B and C). No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A) [see Dosage and Administration]. Trilaciclib is mainly metabolized in the liver. Trilaciclib exposure increased with moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classes B and C) [see Clinical Pharmacology].

Preparation and Administration Instructions Reconstitute and further dilute COSELA prior to intravenous infusion as outlined below. Use aseptic technique for reconstitution and dilution. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

Reconstitution of COSELA Calculate the COSELA dose based on the patient's body surface area (BSA), the total volume of reconstituted COSELA solution required, and the number of COSELA vials needed. Reconstitute each 300 mg vial with 19.5 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP using a sterile syringe to obtain a concentration of 15 mg/mL of trilaciclib.

Gently swirl the vial for up to 3 minutes until the sterile lyophilized cake is completely dissolved. Do not shake. Inspect the reconstituted solution for discoloration and particulate matter. Reconstituted COSELA solution should be a clear, yellow solution. Do not use if the reconstituted solution is discolored, cloudy, or contains visible particulates.

Reconstituted solution in the vial can be stored at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) for up to 4 hours prior to transfer to the infusion bag. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Discard any unused portion after use. Dilution of Reconstituted COSELA Solution Withdraw the required volume from the vial(s) of reconstituted COSELA solution and dilute into an intravenous infusion bag containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP.

The final concentration of the diluted COSELA solution should be between 0.5 mg/mL and 3 mg/mL Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion. Do not shake. The diluted COSELA solution for infusion is a clear, yellow solution. If not used immediately, store the diluted COSELA solution in the intravenous infusion bag as specified in Table 2 .

Discard if storage time exceeds these limits. Do not refrigerate or freeze. [See table below.] Administration Administer diluted COSELA solution as a 30-minute intravenous infusion completed no more than 4 hours prior to the start of chemotherapy. Diluted COSELA solution must be administered with an infusion set, including an in-line filter (0.2 or 0.22 micron).

Compatible in-line filters include polyethersulfone (PES), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and cellulose acetate (CA). Do not administer diluted COSELA solution with a polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) in-line filter as it is not compatible. PTFE is acceptable for use in air vent filters. Do not co-administer other drugs through the same infusion line.

Do not co-administer other drugs through a central access device unless the device supports co-administration of incompatible drugs. Upon completion of infusion of diluted COSELA solution, the infusion line/cannula must be flushed with at least 20 mL sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP.

Adverse ReactionSeverity Grade*Recommended Action
* National Cancer Institute – Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03
Injection-site reactions including phlebitis and thrombophlebitis Grade 1: Tenderness with or without symptoms (e.g., warmth, erythema, itching) Interrupt or slow infusion of COSELA. If 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP is being used as a diluent/flush, consider changing to 5% Dextrose Injection, USP as appropriate for subsequent infusions.
Grade 2: Pain; lipodystrophy; edema; phlebitis Interrupt infusion of COSELA. If pain not severe, follow instructions for Grade 1. Otherwise, stop infusion in extremity and rotate site of infusion to site in alternative extremity. If 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP is being used as a diluent/flush, consider changing to 5% Dextrose Injection, USP as appropriate for subsequent infusions. Central access may also be considered.
Grade 3: Ulceration or necrosis; severe tissue damage; operative intervention indicated. OR Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent interventions indicated. Stop infusion and permanently discontinue COSELA.
Acute drug hypersensitivity reactions Grade 2: Moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Stop infusion and hold COSELA until recovery to Grade ≤1 or baseline, then consider resuming COSELA. If Grade 2 recurs, permanently discontinue COSELA.
Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care ADL. OR Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Permanently discontinue COSELA.

Drug interactions

Check trilaciclib against a medication list
Label text (4 paragraphs)

Certain OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates: Avoid concomitant use with certain OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. ( 7.1 )

7.1 Effect of COSELA on Other Drugs, Certain OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K Substrates COSELA is an inhibitor of OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K. Co-administration of COSELA may increase the concentration or net accumulation of OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates in the kidney (e.g., dofetilide, dalfampridine, and cisplatin) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Refer to the prescribing information for these concomitant medications for assessing the benefit and risk of concomitant use of COSELA.

Table 4: Potentially Significant Drug Interactions with COSELA Drugs Recommendations Comments Dofetilide The potential benefits of taking COSELA concurrently with dofetilide should be considered against the risk of QT interval prolongation. Increased dofetilide blood levels may occur in patients who are also receiving COSELA. Increased plasma concentrations of dofetilide may cause serious ventricular arrhythmias associated with QT interval prolongation, including torsade de pointes. Dalfampridine The potential benefits of taking COSELA concurrently with dalfampridine should be considered against the risk of seizures in these patients.

Increased dalfampridine blood levels may occur in patients who are also receiving COSELA. Elevated levels of dalfampridine increase the risk of seizure. Cisplatin Closely monitor for nephrotoxicity. Concurrent treatment with COSELA may increase the exposure and alter the net accumulation of cisplatin in the kidney, which may associate with dose-related nephrotoxicity.

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS COSELA is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions to trilaciclib. Reactions have included anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions to COSELA. ( 4 )

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on the mechanism of action, COSELA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12 )] . There are no available human or animal data on COSELA use to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

However, the background risk of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in the United States general population.

For breastfeeding, also see LactMed (National Library of Medicine), which summarizes milk levels and infant effects.
