IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What is OGIVRI?

ADJUVANT BREAST CANCER

OGIVRI is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of adjuvant breast cancer. OGIVRI is used for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer that is Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2-positive (HER2+) and has spread into the lymph nodes or is HER2-positive and has not spread into the lymph nodes. If it has not spread into the lymph nodes, the cancer needs to be estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor (ER/PR)-negative or have one high-risk feature. High risk is defined as ER/PR-positive with one of the following features: tumor size > 2 cm, age < 35 years, or tumor grade 2 or 3.

OGIVRI can be used in several different ways:

As part of a treatment course including the chemotherapy drugs doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and either paclitaxel or docetaxel. This treatment course is known as “AC→TH”
With the chemotherapy drugs docetaxel and carboplatin. This treatment course is known as “TCH”
Alone after treatment with multiple other therapies, including an anthracycline (doxorubicin) based therapy (a type of chemotherapy)

Patients are selected for therapy based on an FDA-approved test for trastuzumab.

METASTATIC BREAST CANCER

OGIVRI has 2 approved uses in metastatic breast cancer:

OGIVRI in combination with the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel is approved for the first-line treatment of Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer
OGIVRI alone is approved for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer in patients who have received one or more chemotherapy courses for metastatic disease

Patients are selected for therapy based on an FDA-approved test for trastuzumab.

GASTRIC CANCER

OGIVRI is approved, in combination with chemotherapy (cisplatin and either capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil), for the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic cancer of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (where the esophagus meets the stomach) in patients who have not received prior treatment for their metastatic disease.

Patients are selected for therapy based on an FDA-approved test for trastuzumab.
