DOSING

Prophylactic medications CAN HELP MANAGE the infusion experience1

Help reduce the incidence and severity of infusion-related reactions, nausea, and vomiting by following the ELAHERE premedication guidelines1

Premedication prior to each ELAHERE infusion1
Premedication Route of administration Examples (or equivalent) Administration time prior to ELAHERE infusion
Corticosteroid IV Dexamethasone
10 mg
At least 30 minutes prior
Antihistamine Oral or IV Diphenhydramine
25 mg to 50 mg
Antipyretic Oral or IV Acetaminophen
325 mg to 650 mg
Antiemetic Oral or IV 5‑HT3 serotonin receptor antagonist or appropriate alternatives Before each dose and thereafter as needed

Consider additional premedications including corticosteroids the day prior to ELAHERE administration for patients who experience infusion-related reactions1

IV=intravenous.

Dosage and Calculating AIBW1*

1 Dose every 3 weeks

Patients receive ELAHERE once every 3 weeks (21-day cycle) at a recommended dosage of 6 mg/kg AIBW1

Dosing based on AIBW may reduce exposure variability for patients who are either underweight or overweight1

ELAHERE is an IV infusion and is administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity1

*This was the dose calculation process used in the clinical trials.

AIBW=adjusted ideal body weight.

The total dose of ELAHERE is calculated based on each patient’s AIBW using the following formula1:

STEP 1:

If ideal body weight (IBW) is unknown, calculate it using the formula below. Ensure that height is measured in cm.

IBW (kg) =
0.9
height (cm) Please enter a whole number.
92 =

If IBW is known, please enter value directly below.

STEP 2:

Calculate AIBW using IBW in kg and the patient's actual weight in kg, using the formula below.

AIBW =
IBW (kg)
0.4
actual weight (kg) Please enter a whole number.
− IBW (kg)
AIBW =
kg

Ensure all weight measurements are recorded in kilogram (kg) units and height measurements are recorded in centimeters (cm) for ELAHERE dose calculations.

  • In the MIRASOL clinical study, the mean AIBW was 59.1 kg2
  • Based on an AIBW of 59.1 kg, the dose would be 355 mg per cycle (4 vials). One vial contains 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx1
  • Dose modifications may help manage treatment-related toxicities1

The above calculator is provided for US healthcare professionals only, as a guide for determining AIBW. The information provided is not intended to supersede independent clinical judgment, and calculations should be confirmed.

Instructions for preparation1

3 vials icon

Step 1

Calculate the dose (mg) based on the patient’s AIBW, total volume (mL) of solution required, and the number of vials of ELAHERE needed. More than 1 vial will be needed for a full dose. ELAHERE is available in 100-mg/20-mL (5-mg/mL) single-dose vials

Temperature icon

Step 2

Remove the vials of ELAHERE from the refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature

Inspect icon

Step 3

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. ELAHERE is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless solution

Swirl icon

Step 4

Gently swirl and inspect each vial prior to withdrawing the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE. Do not shake the vial

Withdrawal icon

Step 5

Using aseptic technique, withdraw the calculated dose volume of ELAHERE for subsequent dilution

Discard icon

Step 6

ELAHERE contains no preservatives and is intended for single dose only. Discard any unused drug remaining in the vial

Administration1

Infusion bag with down arrow icon

Administer ELAHERE as an IV infusion only, using a 0.2 or 0.22 μm PES in-line filter. Prior to administration, ELAHERE must be diluted with 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL to 2 mg/mL

Timer icon

Administer the first dose at the rate of 1 mg/min

  • If well tolerated after 30 minutes, the infusion rate can be increased to 3 mg/min
  • If well tolerated after 30 minutes, the infusion rate can be increased to 5 mg/min

If no infusion-related reactions occur with the previous dose, subsequent infusions should be started at the maximally tolerated rate and may be increased up to a maximum infusion rate of 5 mg/min, as tolerated
