2.1 Important Dosage and Safety Information


Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential before starting JYLAMVO [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Instruct patients and caregivers on how to measure, dose, and administer the recommended dosage as directed, because medication errors have led to deaths [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)].

Ensure patients and caregivers understand the instructions provided in the Patient Information on proper dosing of Jylamvo based on volume (mL) utilizing the copackaged syringe before use.

Advise patients and caregivers to only use the copackaged syringe to measure JYLAMVO and that a teaspoon is not an appropriate measuring device. The dosing syringe utilizes mL as the unit of measure; ensure that the correct dose expressed in volume (mL) is prescribed. JYLAMVO contains 2 mg of methotrexate in each mL of solution.

JYLAMVO is intended for oral use only. When switching the patient’s dosing regimen from a methotrexate product for oral administration to a methotrexate product for intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous administration, an alternative dosing regimen may be necessary due to potential differences in bioavailability.

JYLAMVO is a cytotoxic drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures1.


Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The recommended starting dosage of JYLAMVO is 20 mg/m2 orally once weekly, as part of a combination chemotherapy maintenance regimen. After initiating JYLAMVO, periodically monitor absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and platelet count and adjust the dose to maintain ANC at a desirable level and for excessive myelosuppression.

Mycosis Fungoides

The recommended dosage of JYLAMVO is 25 to 75 mg orally once weekly when administered as a single agent or 10 mg/m2 orally twice weekly as part of a combination chemotherapy regimen.

Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas

The recommended dosage of JYLAMVO is 2.5 mg orally 2 to 4 times per week (maximum 10 mg per week) as part of a metronomic combination chemotherapy regimen.


The recommended starting dosage of JYLAMVO is 7.5 mg orally once weekly with escalation to achieve optimal response. Dosages of more than 20 mg once weekly result in an increased risk of serious adverse reactions, including myelosuppression. When responses are observed, the majority occur between 3 and 6 weeks from initiation of treatment; however, responses have occurred up to 12 weeks after treatment initiation.

Administer folic acid or folinic acid to reduce the risk of methotrexate adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)].


The recommended dosage of JYLAMVO is 10 to 25 mg orally once weekly until an adequate response is achieved. Adjust the dose gradually to achieve optimal clinical response; do not exceed a dose of 30 mg per week. Once optimal clinical response has been achieved, reduce the dosage to the lowest possible dosing regimen.

Administer folic acid or folinic acid supplementation to reduce the risk of methotrexate adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)].

5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity


Based on published reports and its mechanism of action, methotrexate can cause fetal harm, including fetal death, when administered to a pregnant woman. JYLAMVO is contraindicated for use in pregnant women receiving JYLAMVO for the treatment of non-malignant diseases. Advise pregnant women with neoplastic diseases of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JYLAMVO and for 6 months after the final dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during JYLAMVO treatment and for at least 3 months after the final dose [see Contraindications (4), Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

5.2 Hypersensitivity Reactions


Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur with methotrexate [see Contraindications (4), Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

If anaphylaxis or other serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, immediately and permanently discontinue JYLAMVO [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.3 Myelosuppression


Methotrexate suppresses hematopoiesis and can cause severe and life-threatening pancytopenia, anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Obtain blood counts at baseline, periodically during treatment, and as clinically indicated. Monitor patients for clinical complications of myelosuppression. Withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue JYLAMVO taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.4 Gastrointestinal Toxicity


Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomatitis occurred in up to 10% of patients receiving methotrexate for treatment of non-neoplastic diseases. Hemorrhagic enteritis and fatal intestinal perforation have been reported [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)]. Patients with peptic ulcer disease or ulcerative colitis are at a greater risk of developing severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

Withhold or discontinue JYLAMVO for severe gastrointestinal toxicity taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.5 Hepatotoxicity


Methotrexate can cause severe and potentially irreversible hepatotoxicity, including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and fatal liver failure [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The safety of JYLAMVO in patients with hepatic disease is unknown.

The risk of hepatotoxicity is increased with heavy alcohol consumption. In patients with psoriasis, fibrosis or cirrhosis may occur in the absence of symptoms or abnormal liver tests; the risk of hepatotoxicity appears to increase with total cumulative dose and generally occurs after receipt of a total cumulative dose of 1.5 g or more.

Monitor liver tests at baseline, periodically during treatment and as clinically indicated. Withhold or discontinue JYLAMVO taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.6 Pulmonary Toxicity


Pulmonary toxicity, including acute or chronic interstitial pneumonitis and irreversible or fatal cases, can occur with methotrexate [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)].

Monitor patients for pulmonary toxicity and withhold or discontinue JYLAMVO taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.7 Dermatologic Reactions


Severe, including fatal dermatologic reactions, such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, exfoliative dermatitis, skin necrosis, and erythema multiforme, can occur with methotrexate [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)].

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation while taking methotrexate may aggravate psoriasis.

Methotrexate can cause radiation recall dermatitis and photodermatitis (sunburn) reactivation.

Monitor patients for dermatologic toxicity and withhold or permanently discontinue JYLAMVO for severe dermatologic reactions taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Advise patients to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sun protection measures.

5.8 Renal Toxicity


Methotrexate can cause renal toxicity, including irreversible acute renal failure [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

Monitor renal function at baseline, periodically during treatment and as clinically indicated. Withhold or discontinue JYLAMVO for severe renal toxicity taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

Administer glucarpidase in patients with toxic plasma methotrexate concentrations (> 1 micromole per liter) and delayed methotrexate clearance due to impaired renal function. Refer to the glucarpidase prescribing information for additional information.

5.9 Risk of Serious Adverse Reactions with Medication Error


Deaths occurred in patients as a result of medication errors. Most commonly, these errors occurred in patients who were taking methotrexate daily when a weekly dosing regimen was prescribed.

For patients prescribed a once weekly dosing regimen, instruct patients and caregivers to take the recommended dosage as directed, because medication errors have led to death.

Instruct patients and caregivers on how to measure, dose, and administer the recommended dosage as directed [see Dosage and Administration (2)].

5.10 Folic Acid Supplementation


Neoplastic Diseases

Products containing folic acid or its derivatives may decrease the clinical effectiveness of methotrexate. Therefore, instruct patients not to take products containing folic acid or folinic acid unless directed to do so by their healthcare provider.

Non-neoplastic Diseases

Folate deficiency may increase methotrexate adverse reactions. Administer folic acid or folinic acid for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis [see Dosage and Administration (2.3, 2.4)].

5.11 Serious Infections


Patients treated with methotrexate are at increased risk for developing life-threatening or fatal bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, including opportunistic infections such as Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, invasive fungal infections, hepatitis B reactivation, tuberculosis primary infection or reactivation, and disseminated Herpes zoster and cytomegalovirus infections [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

Monitor patients for infection during and after treatment with JYLAMVO. Withhold or discontinue JYLAMVO for serious infections taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.12 Neurotoxicity


Methotrexate can cause severe acute and chronic neurotoxicity, which can be progressive, irreversible, and fatal [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. The risk of leukoencephalopathy is increased in patients who received prior cranial radiation.

Monitor patients for neurotoxicity and withhold or discontinue JYLAMVO taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.13 Secondary Malignancies


Secondary malignancies can occur with methotrexate [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. The risk of cutaneous malignancies is further increased when cyclosporine is administered to patients with psoriasis who received prior methotrexate.

In some cases, lymphoproliferative disease occurring during therapy with low-dose methotrexate regressed completely following withdrawal of methotrexate. If lymphoproliferative disease occurs, discontinue JYLAMVO [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

5.14 Tumor Lysis Syndrome


Methotrexate can induce tumor lysis syndrome in patients with rapidly growing tumors. Institute appropriate prophylactic measures in patients at risk for tumor lysis syndrome prior to initiation of JYLAMVO.

5.15 Immunization and Risks Associated with Live Vaccines


Disseminated infections following administration of live vaccines have been reported. Immunization with live vaccines is not recommended during treatment. Follow current vaccination practice guidelines for administration of immunizations in patients receiving JYLAMVO.

Update immunizations according to immunization guidelines prior to initiating JYLAMVO. The interval between live vaccinations and initiation of methotrexate should be in accordance with current vaccination guidelines for patients on immunosuppressive agents.

5.16 Infertility


Based on published reports, methotrexate can cause impairment of fertility, oligospermia, and menstrual dysfunction. It is not known if the infertility may be reversible. Discuss the risk of infertility with females and males of reproductive potential [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3)].

5.17 Increased Risk of Adverse Reactions Due to Third-Space Accumulation


Methotrexate accumulates in third-spaces (e.g., pleural effusions or ascites), which results in prolonged elimination and increases the risk of adverse reactions. Evacuate significant third-space accumulations prior to JYLAMVO administration taking into account the importance of JYLAMVO treatment in the context of the severity of the disease being treated, the severity of the adverse drug reaction, and availability of alternative therapy.

6 Adverse Reactions


The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:


Common adverse reactions include ulcerative stomatitis, leukopenia, nausea, abdominal distress. (6.1)

To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Shorla Oncology at 844-9-SHORLA or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience


Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Common adverse reactions were: ulcerative stomatitis, leukopenia, nausea, and abdominal distress. Other clinically relevant adverse reactions were infection, malaise, fatigue, chills, fever, and dizziness.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

The most common adverse reactions of methotrexate that exceeded the rate of placebo in 12- to 18-week double-blind studies in patients (n=128) with rheumatoid arthritis are uled below. Patients received methotrexate 7.5 to 15 mg orally once weekly. Most patients received concomitant nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and some also received corticosteroids. Hepatic histology was not examined in these short-term studies.

Incidence ≥10%: Elevated liver tests 15%, nausea/vomiting 10%

Incidence 3% to <10%: Stomatitis, thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100,000/mm3)

Incidence 1% to <3%: Rash/pruritus/dermatitis, diarrhea, alopecia, leukopenia (white blood cell count < 3000/mm3), pancytopenia, dizziness

Two other controlled trials of patients (n=680) with rheumatoid arthritis who received methotrexate 7.5 mg to 15 mg orally once weekly showed the following serious adverse reaction:

Incidence 1%: Interstitial pneumonitis

Other less common adverse reactions were: anemia, headache, upper respiratory infection, anorexia, arthralgias, chest pain, coughing, dysuria, eye discomfort, epistaxis, fever, infection, sweating, tinnitus, vaginal discharge.

Psoriasis

In two published series of adults with psoriasis (n=204, 248) who received methotrexate up to 25 mg per week for up to 4 years, adverse reaction rates were similar to those in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, except for alopecia, photosensitivity, and “burning of skin lesions” (3% to 10% each). Painful plaque erosions have been reported.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience


The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of methotrexate. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Cardiovascular: Thromboembolic events (including arterial thrombosis, cerebral thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, retinal vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, and pulmonary embolus), pericarditis, pericardial effusion, hypotension, sudden death

7 Drug Interactions



Refer to the full prescribing information for drug interactions with JYLAMVO. (7)

7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on Methotrexate


Drugs that Increase Methotrexate Exposure

Coadministration of methotrexate with the following products may increase methotrexate plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of methotrexate severe adverse reactions. In some cases, the coadministration of methotrexate with these products may also subsequently reduce active metabolite formation, which may decrease the clinical effectiveness of methotrexate. Increased organ specific adverse reactions may also occur when methotrexate is coadministered with hepatotoxic or nephrotoxic products.

If coadministration cannot be avoided, monitor closely for methotrexate adverse reactions when coadministered with:
  • Oral antibiotics (including neomycin)
  • Oral or intravenous penicillin or sulfonamide antibiotics
  • Antifolate drugs (e.g., dapsone, pemetrexed, pyrimethamine and sulfonamides)
  • Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
  • Hepatotoxic products
  • Highly protein-bound drugs (e.g., oral anticoagulants, phenytoin, salicylates, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, and tetracyclines)
  • Probenecid
  • Proton pump inhibitors
  • Weak acids (e.g., salicylates)
  • Nephrotoxic products

Nitrous Oxide

Coadministration of methotrexate with nitrous oxide anesthesia potentiates the effect of methotrexate on folate-dependent metabolic pathways, which may increase the risk of severe methotrexate adverse reactions. Avoid nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients receiving methotrexate. Consider alternative therapies in patients who have received prior nitrous oxide anesthesia.

Folic Acid

Coadministration of methotrexate with folic acid or its derivatives decreases the clinical effectiveness of methotrexate in patients with neoplastic diseases. Methotrexate competes with reduced folates for active transport across cell membranes. Instruct patients to take folic or folinic acid only as directed by their healthcare provider [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)].

8 Use In Specific Populations



Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed. (8.2)

8.1 Pregnancy


Risk Summary

Based on published reports and methotrexate’s mechanism of action, methotrexate can cause embryo-fetal toxicity and fetal death when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no animal data that meet current standards for nonclinical developmental toxicity studies. In pregnant women with non-malignant disease, JYLAMVO is contraindicated. Consider the benefits and risks of JYLAMVO and risks to the fetus when prescribing JYLAMVO to a pregnant patient with a neoplastic disease.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. 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.

Data

Human Data

Published data from case reports, literature reviews, and observational studies report that methotrexate exposure during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of embryo-fetal toxicity and fetal death. Methotrexate exposure during the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with an increased incidence of spontaneous abortions and multiple adverse developmental outcomes, including skull anomalies, facial dysmorphism, central nervous system abnormalities, limb abnormalities, and sometimes cardiac anomalies and intellectual impairment. Adverse outcomes associated with exposure during second and third trimesters of pregnancy include intrauterine growth restriction and functional abnormalities. Because methotrexate is widely distributed and persists in the body for a prolonged period, there is a potential risk to the fetus from preconception methotrexate exposure.

A prospective multicenter study evaluated pregnancy outcomes in women taking methotrexate less than or equal to 30 mg/week after conception. The rate of spontaneous abortion and miscarriage in pregnant women exposed to methotrexate was 42% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 29, 59), which was higher than in unexposed patients with autoimmune disease (22%; 95% CI: 17, 30) and unexposed patients with nonautoimmune disease (17%; 95% CI: 13, 23). Of the live births, the rate of major birth defects in pregnant women exposed to methotrexate after conception was higher than in unexposed patients with autoimmune disease (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.8 [95% CI: 0.6, 6]) and unexposed patients with non-autoimmune disease (adjusted OR 3.1 [95% CI: 1, 10]) (2.9%). Major birth defects associated with pregnancies exposed to methotrexate after conception were not always consistent with methotrexate-associated adverse developmental outcomes.

8.2 Lactation



Limited published literature report the presence of methotrexate in human milk in low amounts, with the highest breast milk to plasma concentration ratio reported to be 0.08:1. There are no data on the effects of methotrexate or its metabolites on the breastfed child or their effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, including myelosuppression, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with JYLAMVO and for 1 week after the final dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential


Methotrexate can cause malformations and fetal death at doses less than or equal to the recommended clinical doses [Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Pregnancy Testing

Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating JYLAMVO [see Contraindications (4), Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Contraception

Females

JYLAMVO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JYLAMVO and for 6 months after the final dose of JYLAMVO.

Males

Methotrexate can cause chromosomal damage to sperm cells. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with JYLAMVO and for at least 3 months after the final dose of JYLAMVO.

Infertility

Females

Based on published reports of female infertility after treatment with methotrexate, advise females of reproductive potential that methotrexate can cause impairment of fertility and menstrual dysfunction during treatment with JYLAMVO and after the final dose. It is not known if the infertility may be reversed in all affected females.

Males

Based on published reports of male infertility after treatment with methotrexate, advise males of reproductive potential that methotrexate can cause oligospermia or infertility during treatment with JYLAMVO and after the final dose. It is not known if the infertility may be reversed in all affected males.

8.4 Pediatric Use


JYLAMVO is not approved for use in pediatric patients.

8.5 Geriatric Use


Clinical studies of methotrexate did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

8.6 Renal Impairment


Methotrexate elimination is reduced in patients with renal impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Patients with renal impairment are at increased risk for methotrexate adverse reactions. Closely monitor patients with renal impairment [creatinine clearance (CLcr) less than 90 mL/min, Cockcroft-Gault] for adverse reactions. Reduce the dosage or discontinue JYLAMVO as appropriate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].

8.7 Hepatic Impairment


The pharmacokinetics and safety of methotrexate in patients with hepatic impairment is unknown. Patients with hepatic impairment may be at increased risk for methotrexate adverse reactions based on the elimination characteristics of methotrexate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Closely monitor patients with hepatic impairment for adverse reactions. Reduce the dosage or discontinue JYLAMVO as appropriate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

10 Overdosage


Overdosage, including fatal overdosage, has occurred with methotrexate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)].

Manifestations

Manifestations of methotrexate overdosage include adverse reactions reported at pharmacologic doses, particularly hematologic and gastrointestinal reactions (e.g., leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, pancytopenia, myelosuppression, mucositis, stomatitis, oral ulceration, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal ulceration, or gastrointestinal bleeding). In some cases, no symptoms were reported; however, sepsis or septic shock, renal failure, and aplastic anemia were also reported.

Management

Leucovorin and levoleucovorin are indicated for diminishing the methotrexate adverse reactions of methotrexate overdosage. Administer leucovorin or levoleucovorin as soon as possible after methotrexate overdosage. Monitor serum creatinine and methotrexate levels to guide leucovorin or levoleucovorin therapy. Refer to the leucovorin or levoleucovorin prescribing information for additional dosage information.

Glucarpidase is indicated for the treatment of toxic plasma methotrexate concentrations (>1 micromole per liter) in patients with delayed methotrexate clearance due to impaired renal function. Refer to the glucarpidase prescribing information for additional dosage information.

Administer concomitant hydration and urinary alkalinization.

Neither hemodialysis nor peritoneal dialysis has been shown to improve methotrexate elimination; however, methotrexate has been effectively cleared with acute, intermittent hemodialysis using a high-flux dialyzer.

11 Description


Methotrexate is a folate analog metabolic inhibitor with the chemical name of N-[4-[[(2,4 diamino-6-pteridinyl) methyl]methylamino]benzoyl]-L glutamic acid. The molecular formula is C20H22N8O5 and the molecular weight is 454.4 g/mol. The structural formula is:

JYLAMVO (methotrexate) oral solution is a clear yellow solution that contains methotrexate, 2 mg/mL. Inactive ingredients include citric acid, ethylparaben, glycerin, methylparaben sodium, orange flavoring powder, polyethylene glycol, purified water, sodium citrate and sucralose. The target pH of the oral solution is 6.8.

12 Clinical Pharmacology


12.1 Mechanism of Action


Methotrexate inhibits dihydrofolic acid reductase. Dihydrofolates must be reduced to tetrahydrofolates by this enzyme before they can be utilized as carriers of one-carbon groups in the synthesis of purine nucleotides and thymidylate. Therefore, methotrexate interferes with DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication. Actively proliferating tissues such as malignant cells, bone marrow, fetal cells, buccal and intestinal mucosa, and cells of the urinary bladder are in general more sensitive to this effect of methotrexate.

The mechanism of action in rheumatoid arthritis and in psoriasis is unknown.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics


Absorption

At doses of 30 mg/m2 or less, the mean bioavailability is approximately 60%. Peak plasma concentrations are reached within 0.75 to 6 hours following oral administration. Methotrexate may undergo enterohepatic recirculation; however, this pathway has not been fully characterized.

Effect of Food

Food has been shown to delay absorption and reduce peak concentration.

Distribution

Methotrexate in serum is approximately 50% protein bound.

Methotrexate does not penetrate the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier at concentrations achieved with the recommended dosages.

Elimination

The elimination half-life of methotrexate is approximately 3 to 10 hours.

Small amounts of methotrexate polyglutamates may remain in tissues for extended periods. The retention and prolonged drug action of these active metabolites vary among different cells, tissues, and tumors.

Nonlinear elimination due to saturation of renal tubular reabsorption has been observed in studies of patients with psoriasis receiving methotrexate doses between 7.5 mg and 30 mg.

Metabolism

Methotrexate is partially metabolized by intestinal flora after oral administration.

Methotrexate primarily undergoes hepatic and intracellular metabolism to active polyglutamated forms which can be converted back to methotrexate by hydrolase enzymes. Methotrexate also undergoes minor metabolism to active 7-hydroxymethotrexate.

Excretion

Methotrexate primarily undergoes renal excretion by glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion that is dependent upon dosage and route of administration.

Biliary excretion accounts for ≤10% of the methotrexate dose.

Specific Populations

The effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate is unknown.

Patients with Renal Impairment

The elimination half-life of methotrexate is variable and increases with the severity of renal impairment.

13 Nonclinical Toxicology


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility


Methotrexate has been evaluated in a number of animal studies for carcinogenic potential with inconclusive results. Although there is evidence that methotrexate causes chromosomal damage to animal somatic cells and human bone marrow cells, the clinical significance remains uncertain.

What is JYLAMVO?

JYLAMVO is a prescription medicine used:
  • in combination with other chemotherapy medicines in adults for maintenance treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
  • to treat adults with mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma)
  • in combination with other therapies to treat adults with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory)
  • to treat adults with rheumatoid arthritis
  • to treat adults with severe psoriasis

JYLAMVO is not for use in children.

It is not known if JYLAMVO is safe in people with liver problems.

Do not take JYLAMVO if you:
  • are pregnant and are being treated or will be treated with JYLAMVO for rheumatoid arithritis, severe psoriasis or for any disease other than cancer. JYLAMVO can cause harm to an unborn baby, including birth defects or death of an unborn baby. See “What is the most important information I should know about JYLAMVO?”
  • have or had a severe allergic reaction to JYLAMVO or any other medicine containing methotrexate. See “What is the most important information I should know about JYLAMVO?” See the end of this leaflet for a complete ul of ingredients in JYLAMVO.

Before taking JYLAMVO tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
  • have kidney problems or are receiving dialysis treatments.
  • have liver problems.
  • drink alcohol-containing beverages and, during treatment with JYLAMVO, if there are any changes in the amount of alcoholic beverages you drink.
  • have fluid in your stomach-area (ascites).
  • have lung problems or fluid in your lungs (pleural effusion).
  • plan to have any surgeries with general anesthesia, including dental surgery.
  • have stomach ulcers (peptic ulcer disease).
  • have ulcerative colitis.
  • have recently received or are scheduled to receive a vaccine. You should not receive live vaccines during treatment with JYLAMVO.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. JYLAMVO may pass into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after your last dose of JYLAMVO.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. JYLAMVO and certain other medicines can affect each other and cause serious side effects. Do not start or change any medicines unless you have talked to your healthcare provider and your healthcare provider has told you it is safe. Know all the medicines that you take and keep a ul of them with you at all times to show healthcare providers and pharmacists.

How should I take JYLAMVO?
  • JYLAMVO is for use by mouth only (oral use).
  • Take JYLAMVO exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Your dose of JYLAMVO and when you take it will depend on the condition that is being treated.
    • Do not take more JYLAMVO than prescribed. Do not change your dose of JYLAMVO unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
    • Taking more JYLAMVO than prescribed or taking JYLAMVO more often than prescribed, can lead to severe side effects and cause death.
    • If you take too much JYLAMVO call your healthcare provider or go to your nearest hospital emergency room right way. You will need to receive a medicine as soon as possible to help reduce side effects that could be severe and could cause death.
    • If you miss taking a dose of JYLAMVO, call your healthcare provider for instructions about when to take your next dose of JYLAMVO.

If you are taking JYLAMVO for treatment of severe psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis:
  • Take your JYLAMVO dose 1 time each week, not every day. Severe side effects and death have happened in people who mistakenly have taken JYLAMVO every day instead of 1 time each week.
  • Take a folic acid or folinic acid supplement every day during treatment with JYLAMVO, as instructed by your healthcare provider, to help reduce the chance of developing certain side effects, such as mouth sores.

If you are taking JYLAMVO to treat your cancer:
  • Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about how much JYLAMVO to take and when to take it.
  • Do not take folic acid or folinic acid during treatment with JYLAMVO unless your healthcare provider tells you to. Taking folic acid or folinic acid with JYLAMVO may make your JYLAMVO treatment less effective.

Instructions for Using JYLAMVO

Each pack of JYLAMVO contains a bottle of medicine with a cap, a bottle neck adaptor and a white dosing syringe. Always use the dosing syringe provided in the pack to take JYLAMVO.A household teaspoon is not an accurate measuring device.

Note: the dosing syringe measures the amount of oral solution in mL and JYLAMVO contains 2 mg of methotrexate in 1 mL of solution.

Read and carefully follow the instructions below:
  • Put on disposable gloves before handling JYLAMVO.
  • Shake the bottle.
  • Remove the bottle cap and push the adaptor firmly into the top of the bottle.
  • Push the tip of the dosing syringe into the hole in the adaptor.
  • Turn the bottle upside down.
  • Pull the syringe plunger back slowly so that the medicine is drawn from the bottle into the syringe until the widest part of the white syringe plunger is lined up to the black syringe marking of the prescribed dose. Do not measure to the narrow tip of the plunger. If there are air bubbles in the syringe, use the syringe plunger to push the medicine back into the bottle then draw the medicine into the syringe again until there are no more air bubbles.
  • Turn the bottle back upright and carefully remove the syringe from the adaptor, holding the syringe by the barrel rather than the plunger.
  • Check that the dose in the syringe is correct.
  • Make sure that you are sitting up or standing before taking the medicine.
  • Gently place the tip of the syringe in your mouth and direct it to the inside of your cheek.
  • Slowly and gently push the plunger down to gently squirt the medicine into the inside of your cheek. Do not push down on the plunger too hard or squirt the medicine to the back of the mouth or throat as this may cause choking. The plunger should be pushed down gently and completely until it clicks into place.
  • Remove the syringe from your mouth.
  • Swallow the medicine and then drink some water, making sure no medicine is left in the mouth.
  • Put the cap back on the bottle with the adaptor left in place. Make sure that the cap is tightly closed.
  • Wash the syringe immediately after use with warm, soapy water and rinse well. The syringe should be held under water and the plunger drawn in and out several times until all of the medicine is removed from inside the syringe including the tip. Remove the plunger from the syringe barrel and wash both parts well in the warm, soapy water. Each part should then be rinsed well under cold water and any extra water shaken off before wiping dry with a clean paper towel. The plunger and barrel should be stored in a clean dry container with the medicine. All parts of the syringe should be completely dry before putting the plunger back into the syringe and using it for the next dose.

What are the possible side effects of JYLAMVO?

JYLAMVO can cause serious side effects that may be severe and lead to death including:
  • See “What is the most important information I should know about JYLAMVO?”
  • Serious infections. People who take methotrexate have an increased risk of developing infections that can be life-threatening or cause death. These infections may include: bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, including Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, invasive fungal infections, hepatitis B infection that comes back (reactivation), tuberculosis infection that may be new or reactivation, and Herpes zoster or cytomegalovirus (CMV) that spreads throughout the body (disseminated). Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop a new fever or if you have any symptoms of infection during treatment with JYLAMVO.
  • Brain and spinal cord (nervous system) problems. Methotrexate can cause nervous system problems that can be severe and last for a short time or last for a long time. These nervous system problems can get progressively worse, may not get better (irreversible), and can cause death. The risk for a certain nervous system problem called leukoencephalopathy is increased in people who have had radiation treatment to their head (cranial radiation) in the past. Tell your healthcare provider about any new nervous system symptoms that you develop during treatment with JYLAMVO.
  • New (secondary) cancers.New (secondary) cancers can happen in people who take JYLAMVO.
    • In people with psoriasis, the risk of new skin cancers is increased with JYLAMVO and further increased if you take the medicine cyclosporine after receiving treatment with JYLAMVO.
    • Certain blood cancers can happen during treatment with JYLAMVO. In some cases, these blood cancers may completely go away (regress completely) after JYLAMVO is stopped.
  • Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). TLS is caused by the fast breakdown of cancer cells. TLS can cause kidney failure and the need for dialysis treatment, abnormal heart rhythm, seizure, and sometimes death. Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to check you for TLS if you are receiving JYLAMVO as a cancer treatment.
  • Possible fertility problems (infertility) in males and females. JYLAMVO can cause fertility problems in males and females, and can cause sperm production to stop in males, and menstrual problems in females. Males may not be able to father a child. Females may not be able to become pregnant. It is not known if your fertility may return. Talk with your healthcare provider about your risk for infertility if this is a concern for you.

The most common side effects of JYLAMVO include:
  • mouth sores
  • low white blood cells. See “What is the most important information I should know about JYLAMVO?”
  • nausea, upset stomach

These are not all the possible side effects of JYLAMVO. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800- FDA-1088.

How should I store JYLAMVO?
  • Store the JYLAMVO bottle at room temperature, between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
  • Keep JYLAMVO tightly closed with the cap on the bottle.
  • Store the dosing syringe in a clean, dry place when not in use.
  • Use JYLAMVO within 3 months of first opening the bottle. After 3 months throw away (dispose of) any remaining medicine. Ask the pharmacist how to throw away (dispose of) unused medicine, the bottle and the dosing syringe. This medicine should not be disposed of in wastewater or household waste.

Keep JYLAMVO and all medicines out of the reach of children.

General information about the safe and effective use of JYLAMVO. Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those uled in a Patient Information leaflet.
