Myelosuppression: Delay or reduce dose and restart treatment based on ANC and platelet count recovery. Infections: Monitor for fever and other signs of infection or reactivation of infections and treat promptly. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML): Monitor for new or worsening neurological, cognitive or behavioral signs or symptoms suggestive of PML. Anaphylaxis and Infusion Reactions: Severe anaphylactic reactions have occurred. Monitor clinically and discontinue drug for severe reactions. Pre-medicate in subsequent cycles for milder reactions. Tumor Lysis Syndrome: May lead to acute renal failure and death; anticipate and use supportive measures in patients at high risk. Skin Reactions: Discontinue for severe skin reactions. Cases of SJS, DRESS and TEN, some fatal, have been reported. Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver chemistry tests prior to and during treatment. Other Malignancies: Pre-malignant and malignant diseases have been reported. Extravasation Injury: Take precautions to avoid extravasation, including monitoring intravenous infusion site during and after administration. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective method of contraception. Myelosuppression Bendamustine caused severe myelosuppression (Grade 3 to 4) in 98% of patients in the two NHL studies. Three patients (2%) died from myelosuppression-related adverse reactions; one each from neutropenic sepsis, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage with Grade 3 thrombocytopenia, and pneumonia from an opportunistic infection (CMV). Bendamustine injection causes myelosuppression. Monitor complete blood counts, including leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin (Hgb), and neutrophils frequently. In the clinical trials, blood counts were monitored every week initially. Hematologic nadirs were observed predominantly in the third week of therapy. Myelosuppression may require dose delays and/or subsequent dose reductions if recovery to the recommended values has not occurred by the first day of the next scheduled cycle. Prior to the initiation of the next cycle of therapy, the ANC should be ≥ 1 x 10 9 /L and the platelet count should be ≥ 75 x 10 9 /L.. Infections Infection, including pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, hepatitis and death has occurred in adult and pediatric patients in clinical trials and in postmarketing reports for Bendamustine. Patients with myelosuppression following treatment with Bendamustine are more susceptible to infections. Abridged from the full prescribing information.

The following clinically significant serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the prescribing information. Myelosuppression Infections Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Anaphylaxis and Infusion Reactions Tumor Lysis Syndrome Skin Reactions Hepatotoxicity Other Malignancies Extravasation Injury Adverse reactions (frequency >5%) during infusion and within 24 hours post-infusion are nausea and fatigue. Most common adverse reactions (≥15%) for NHL are lymphopenia, leukopenia, anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, pyrexia, constipation, anorexia, cough, headache, weight decreased, dyspnea, rash, and stomatitis.. 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. Clinical Trials Experience in NHL The data described below reflect exposure to Bendamustine in 176 patients with indolent B-cell NHL treated in two single-arm studies. The population was 31 to 84 years of age, 60% male, and 40% female. The race distribution was 89% White, 7% Black, 3% Hispanic, 1% other, and <1% Asian. These patients received Bendamustine at a dose of 120 mg/m 2 intravenously on Days 1 and 2 for up to eight 21-day cycles. The adverse reactions occurring in at least 5% of the NHL patients, regardless of severity, are shown in Table 3. The most common non-hematologic adverse reactions (≥30%) were nausea (75%), fatigue (57%), vomiting (40%), diarrhea (37%) and pyrexia (34%). The most common non-hematologic Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions (≥5%) were fatigue (11%), febrile neutropenia (6%), and pneumonia, hypokalemia and dehydration, each reported in 5% of patients.
