Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Neutropenia : Monitor complete blood counts at baseline and throughout treatment. Interrupt, reduce, or discontinue ZENBEXUS and initiate growth factor support as appropriate. (2.3 , 5.4) • Infections : Can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection, including opportunistic infections, and treat appropriately. (5.5) • Second Primary Malignancies : Monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies. (5.6) 5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] and findings in animal studies, ZENBEXUS can cause birth defects or embryo-fetal death in humans and is contraindicated for use during pregnancy. Oral administration of iberdomide in pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including embryo-fetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . ZENBEXUS is only available through ZENBEXUS REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Females of Reproductive Potential Females of reproductive potential must avoid pregnancy while taking ZENBEXUS and for at least 4 weeks after completing therapy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use 2 methods of effective contraception for at least 4 weeks before beginning ZENBEXUS therapy, during therapy, during dose interruptions and for at least 4 weeks after last dose of ZENBEXUS therapy [see Contraindications (4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Two negative pregnancy tests with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL must be obtained prior to initiating therapy. Pregnancy testing should be performed weekly during the first 4 weeks of treatment. Thereafter, testing should occur every 4 weeks in patients with regular menstrual cycles, or every 2 weeks in patients with irregular menstrual cycles [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ] . Females of reproductive potential taking ZENBEXUS must not donate eggs during treatment and for 4 weeks after completion [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ] . Males ZENBEXUS may pass into human semen. Advise patients who can impregnate partners to use effective contraception during treatment and for 4 weeks following the discontinuation of ZENBEXUS therapy [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] . Male patients taking ZENBEXUS must not donate sperm during treatment and for 4 weeks after completion [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ] . Blood Donation Patients must not donate blood during treatment with ZENBEXUS and for 4 weeks following discontinuation of ZENBEXUS therapy. 5.2 ZENBEXUS REMS ZENBEXUS is available only through a restricted program called ZENBEXUS REMS, because of the risk of embryo-fetal toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Notable requirements of the ZENBEXUS REMS Program include the following: • Prescribers must be certified by enrolling in the ZENBEXUS REMS Program. • Patients must enroll in the ZENBEXUS REMS Program and comply with ongoing monitoring and contraception requirements [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ] . • Pharmacies must be certified by enrolling in the ZENBEXUS REMS Program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive ZENBEXUS. • Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute to certified pharmacies. Further information about ZENBEXUS REMS is available at www.ZENBEXUSREMS.com or by telephone at 1-888-423-5436. 5.3 Serious Venous and Arterial Thromboembolism ZENBEXUS can cause serious and life-threatening venous thromboembolic events (deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) and arterial thromboembolic events (myocardial infarction and stroke). In the EXCALIBER-RRMM study evaluating ZENBEXUS in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj and dexamethasone (IberDd), venous thromboembolic events occurred in 6.4% of patients despite mandatory thromboembolism prophylaxis in the IberDd arm (N=204). The incidence of deep venous thrombosis was 3.4% and the incidence of pulmonary embolism was 1.5%. Arterial thromboembolic events occurred in 3.4% of patients. The incidence of myocardial infarction was 2.0%, and the incidence of stroke (CVA) was 1.5%. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of thromboembolic events during treatment with ZENBEXUS. Patients with known risk factors, including prior thrombosis, may be at greater risk, and actions should be taken to try to minimize all modifiable factors (e.g., hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking). Thromboprophylaxis is recommended, and the choice of regimen should be based on assessment of the patient's underlying risk factors. In patients who develop a thromboembolism, interrupt ZENBEXUS and initiate anticoagulant therapy according to guidelines [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.4 Neutropenia ZENBEXUS can cause severe neutropenia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the EXCALIBER-RRMM study, neutropenia All Grades was reported in 90.2% and Grade 3 in 30.9% and Grade 4 in 53.4% of patients in the IberDd arm (N=204). Febrile neutropenia occurred in 5.4% of patients. The median time to Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was 21 days. The median duration of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was 8 days. Treatment interruption due to neutropenia occurred in 51.5% of patients in the IberDd arm, and discontinuation due to neutropenia was required in 1% of patients in the IberDd arm. Monitor complete blood count throughout treatment with ZENBEXUS. Interrupt, reduce dosage, or discontinue ZENBEXUS, as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Initiate GCSF as appropriate per guidelines. 5.5 Infections ZENBEXUS can cause serious infections, including life-threatening or fatal infections [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Patients with active or uncontrolled infection should not start ZENBEXUS treatment until the infection is controlled. In the EXCALIBER-RRMM study, infections, including opportunistic infections, were reported in 78.9%, Grade 3 in 35.8%, Grade 4 in 3.4%, and fatal infections occurred in 2% of patients in the IberDd arm (N=204). Serious infections occurred in 40% of patients. Discontinuations due to infections occurred in 1.5% of patients. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with ZENBEXUS and treat appropriately. Withhold or reduce the dose based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Consider prophylactic anti-infective medications according to current practice guidelines. 5.6 Second Primary Malignancies In the EXCALIBER-RRMM study, at a median follow-up time of 16 months, second primary malignancies (SPM) occurred in 6.9% of patients in the IberDd arm and in 4.9% of patients in the daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj, bortezomib and dexamethasone (DVd) arm [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies.
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Based on the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] and findings in animal studies, ZENBEXUS can cause birth defects or embryo-fetal death in humans [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . ZENBEXUS is contraindicated in females who are pregnant. Iberdomide causes adverse developmental outcomes in both rats and rabbits when administered during the period of organogenesis. If this drug is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be informed of the potential hazard to a fetus. • Pregnancy (Boxed Warning , 4 , 5.1 , 8.1)
Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use with ZENBEXUS or, if concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce dose. (2.3 , 7.1) • Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use with ZENBEXUS. (7.1) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on ZENBEXUS Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with ZENBEXUS. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, reduce ZENBEXUS dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Iberdomide is primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increases iberdomide exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers with ZENBEXUS. Iberdomide is primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases iberdomide exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may decrease efficacy.
