The recommended dose of rituximab product is 375 mg/m 2 intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle. For All Indicated Patients If not already premedicated, administer an antihistamine and antipyretic at least 30 minutes prior to POLIVY. If a planned dose of POLIVY is missed, administer as soon as possible. Adjust the schedule of administration to maintain a 21-day interval between doses. 2.2 Management of Adverse Reactions Previously Untreated DLBCL, NOS or HGBL Table 1 provides management guidelines for peripheral neuropathy in patients receiving POLIVY plus R-CHP [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Table 1 Management of Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Receiving POLIVY Plus R-CHP Adverse reaction Grade Dose modification Starting dose for POLIVY is 1.8 mg/kg. First dose reduction level is 1.4 mg/kg. Second dose reduction level is 1 mg/kg. No further dose reduction is recommended beyond 1 mg/kg. If further reduction needed discontinue POLIVY. R-CHP should be continued if POLIVY is withheld. If there is concurrent sensory and motor neuropathy, follow the guidance for the most severe neuropathy. If the grade of sensory and motor neuropathy are the same, follow the guidance for motor neuropathy. Peripheral sensory neuropathy Grade 1 None Grade 2 If resolves to Grade 1 or lower before the next scheduled dose, resume at the same dose level. If Grade 2 persists at the next scheduled dose, reduce one dose level. Grade 3 Withhold until Grade 2 or lower and reduce one dose level. Grade 4 Permanently discontinue. Peripheral motor neuropathy Grade 1 None Grade 2 or 3 Withhold until Grade 1 or lower and reduce one dose level. Grade 4 Permanently discontinue.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Peripheral Neuropathy: Monitor patients for peripheral neuropathy and modify or discontinue dose accordingly. ( 5.1 ) Infusion-Related Reactions: Premedicate with an antihistamine and antipyretic. Monitor patients closely during infusions. Interrupt or discontinue infusion for reactions. ( 5.2 ) Myelosuppression: Monitor complete blood counts. Manage using dose delays or reductions and growth factor support. Monitor for signs of infection. ( 5.3 ) Serious and Opportunistic Infections: Closely monitor patients for signs of bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. ( 5.4 ) Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML): Monitor patients for new or worsening neurological, cognitive, or behavioral changes suggestive of PML. ( 5.5 ) Tumor Lysis Syndrome: Closely monitor patients with high tumor burden or rapidly proliferative tumors. ( 5.6 ) Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin. ( 5.7 ) Infusion Site Extravasation Injury: Ensure patent venous access prior to initiating the infusion and closely monitor the infusion site throughout administration for any signs of extravasation. Stop the infusion immediately if extravasation occurs. ( 5.8 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose. ( 5.9 ) 5.1 Peripheral Neuropathy POLIVY can cause peripheral neuropathy, including severe cases. Peripheral neuropathy occurs as early as the first cycle of treatment and is a cumulative effect [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . POLIVY may exacerbate pre-existing peripheral neuropathy. In POLARIX, of 435 patients treated with POLIVY plus R-CHP, 53% reported new or worsening peripheral neuropathy, with a median time to onset of 2.3 months. Peripheral neuropathy was Grade 1 in 39% of patients, Grade 2 in 12%, and Grade 3 in 1.6%. Peripheral neuropathy resulted in dose reduction in 4% of treated patients and treatment discontinuation in 0.7%. Among patients with peripheral neuropathy after POLIVY, 58% reported resolution after a median of 4 months. In Study GO29365, of 173 patients treated with POLIVY, 40% reported new or worsening peripheral neuropathy, with a median time to onset of 2.1 months. Peripheral neuropathy was Grade 1 in 26% of patients, Grade 2 in 12%, and Grade 3 in 2.3%. Peripheral neuropathy resulted in POLIVY dose reduction in 2.9% of treated patients, dose delay in 1.2%, and permanent discontinuation in 2.9%. Sixty-five percent of patients reported improvement or resolution of peripheral neuropathy after a median of 1 month, and 48% reported complete resolution. The peripheral neuropathy is predominantly sensory; however, motor and sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy also occur. Monitor for symptoms of peripheral neuropathy such as hypoesthesia, hyperesthesia, paresthesia, dysesthesia, neuropathic pain, burning sensation, weakness, or gait disturbance. Patients experiencing new or worsening peripheral neuropathy may require a delay, dose reduction, or discontinuation of POLIVY [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . 5.2 Infusion-Related Reactions POLIVY can cause infusion-related reactions, including severe cases. Delayed infusion-related reactions as late as 24 hours after receiving POLIVY have occurred. With premedication, 13% of patients (58/435) in POLARIX reported infusion-related reactions after the administration of POLIVY plus R-CHP. The reactions were Grade 1 in 4.4% of patients, Grade 2 in 8%, and Grade 3 in 1.1%. With premedication, 7% of patients (12/173) in Study GO29365 reported infusion-related reactions after the administration of POLIVY. The reactions were Grade 1 in 4.6% of patients, Grade 2 in 1.7%, and Grade 3 in 0.6%. Symptoms occurring in ≥1% of patients included chills, dyspnea, pyrexia, pruritus, rash, and chest discomfort. Administer an antihistamine and antipyretic prior to the administration of POLIVY, and monit…

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors or inducers has the potential to affect the exposure to unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on POLIVY Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor may increase unconjugated MMAE AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase POLIVY toxicities. Monitor patients for signs of toxicity. Strong CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A4 inducer may decrease unconjugated MMAE AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , POLIVY can cause fetal harm. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of the small molecule component of POLIVY, MMAE, to pregnant rats during organogenesis at exposures below the clinical exposure at the recommended dose of 1.8 mg/kg POLIVY every 21 days resulted in embryo-fetal mortality and structural abnormalities (see Data ) . Advise a pregnant woman of the potential risks to a fetus. The estimated 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. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively. Data Animal Data No embryo-fetal development studies in animals have been performed with polatuzumab vedotin-piiq. In an embryo-fetal developmental study in pregnant rats, administration of two intravenous doses of MMAE, the small molecule component of POLIVY, on gestational days 6 and 13 caused embryo-fetal mortality and structural abnormalities, including protruding tongue, malrotated limbs, gastroschisis, and agnathia compared to controls at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg (approximately 0.5-fold the human area under the curve [AUC] at the recommended dose).

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label: Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infusion-Related Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Myelosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Serious and Opportunistic Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Tumor Lysis Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Infusion Site Extravasation Injury [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) in patients with large B-cell lymphoma treated with POLIVY in combination with R-CHP, excluding laboratory abnormalities, are peripheral neuropathy, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, alopecia, and mucositis. Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥10%) are lymphopenia, neutropenia, hyperuricemia, and anemia. ( 6.1 ) The most common adverse reaction (≥20%) in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL treated with POLIVY in combination with BR are neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, diarrhea, pyrexia, decreased appetite, and pneumonia.

The safety data described below reflect exposure to POLIVY 1.8 mg/kg in 480 patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), including those with previously untreated LBCL (POLARIX) and relapsed or refractory DLBCL (GO29365). Previously Untreated DLBCL, NOS or HGBL GO39942 (POLARIX) The safety of POLIVY in combination with R-CHP chemoimmunotherapy was evaluated in POLARIX, a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of 873 patients with previously untreated large B-cell lymphoma, 435 of whom received POLIVY plus R-CHP [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive POLIVY plus R-CHP or to receive R-CHOP for six 21-day cycles followed by two additional cycles of rituximab alone in both arms. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) primary prophylaxis was required and administered to 90% of patients in the POLIVY plus R-CHP arm and 93% of patients in the R-CHOP arm. Following premedication with an antihistamine and antipyretic, POLIVY was administered intravenously at 1.8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycles 1–6. R-CHP was administered starting on Day 1 of Cycles 1–6. Rituximab monotherapy was administered on Day 1 of Cycles 7–8 [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . The trial required an absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000/µL, platelet count ≥75,000/µL, creatinine clearance (CLcr) ≥40 mL/min, hepatic transaminases ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), and bilirubin <1.5 times ULN, unless abnormalities were from the underlying disease. The trial excluded patients having age >80, ECOG performance status above 2, known central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, and Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy. The median age was 65 years overall (range: 19 to 80 years); 54% of patients were male; 53% were White, 19% were Asian, 2%, Black or African American, and 5% were Hispanic or Latino. In the POLIVY plus R-CHP group, 92% of patients received 6 cycles of POLIVY, and 94% completed 6 cycles of combination therapy. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 34% of patients who received POLIVY plus R-CHP, including febrile neutropenia and pneumonia in ≥5% of recipients. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3% of recipients of POLIVY plus R-CHP within 90 days of last treatment, primarily from infection including pneumonia (0.9%) and se…
