DECNUPAZ is a hazardous drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures in accordance with local requirements. 1 Determine the dose and the number of DECNUPAZ vials needed. More than one vial may be needed to achieve a full dose. Remove the DECNUPAZ vial(s) from the refrigerator and allow the vial(s) to reach room temperature 15°C to 30°C (59℉ to 86°F) before use. Reconstitution Using a sterile syringe, reconstitute DECNUPAZ by slowly injecting 1.1 mL of Sterile Water for Injection into each vial to obtain a concentration of 2 mg/mL. Each single-dose vial contains 1 mL (2 mg) of withdrawable DECNUPAZ. Gently swirl the vial in a circular motion. Do not shake. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. The reconstituted solution in each vial should appear clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow and free of visible contaminants, particles and/or particulates. Do not use if discoloration or particulate matter is present. DECNUPAZ contains no preservative. Use reconstituted solution immediately. If not used immediately, store the reconstituted DECNUPAZ vials in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 4 hours from the time of reconstitution. Do not freeze. First Dilution DECNUPAZ must be diluted with 5% Dextrose Injection. Add 4.8 mL of 5% Dextrose Injection to the reconstituted solution in the vial. Mix the diluted solution by gentle inversion. Do not shake. The resulting diluted solution concentration is 0.4 mg/mL. Calculate the required administration volume needed from the first dilution of vial(s). Volume needed from vial(s) after first dilution (mL) = Dose (mg) / 0.4 mg/mL DECNUPAZ requires a second dilution prior to administration. Second Dilution Withdraw the calculated volume from the first dilution of vial(s) using an appropriately sized syringe. Withdraw an equal volume of 5% Dextrose Injection in an appropriately sized second syringe. Attach a connector to the two syringes and transfer DECNUPAZ into the syringe containing 5% Dextrose Injection. Disconnect the syringes. Draw air into the syringe containing the DECNUPAZ diluted solution and close. Gently invert the syringe to mix the solution. Do not shake. Remove air bubbles from the syringe before administration. The final concentration is 0.2 mg/mL. Discard any unused drug remaining in the vial(s). Do not use an in-line filter due to increased drug loss. If an in-line filter is required, a 1.2 micron polyethersulfone (PES) filter can be used. Storage of Diluted Solution Immediately use diluted DECNUPAZ solution. The total storage time from the start of dose preparation to completion of administration should not exceed 24 hours. Store the diluted solution of DECNUPAZ under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no more than 24 hours, including up to 8 hours at room temperature at 9°C to 25°C (48°F to 77°F), from the time of reconstitution to completion of the intravenous infusion. Discard diluted infusion solution if storage time exceeds these limits. If refrigerated, allow approximately 30 minutes for the diluted solution to come to room temperature prior to administration. Do not shake. Do not freeze the diluted infusion solution. Protect from light during storage. Do not shake. 2.6 Administration After preparing the dose for infusion, visually inspect the syringe content for particulates and discard if present. Do not mix DECNUPAZ with any other drugs or any intravenous fluids other than 5% Dextrose Injection. Protect the intravenous syringe from light using a light-blocking cover during infusion. The infusion line does not need to be protected from light. Administer DECNUPAZ as an intravenous infusion only. Do not administer as an intravenous push or bolus. The first infusion of DECNUPAZ should be administered at a rate of 0.8 mL/min (0.165 mg/min) for the first 30 minutes. If well tolerated, the infusion rate can be increased after 30 minutes to 1.7 mL/min (0.33 mg/min), if necessary. Subsequent infusions may be delivered at the highest tolerated rate. Following the infusion, flush the intravenous line with sufficient volume of 5% Dextrose Injection to ensure delivery of the full dose. Do not use any other intravenous fluids for flushing.

6. ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Hepatotoxicity, Including Hepatic VOD (also known as Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Infusion-Related Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Edema [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were edema, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hemorrhage, infusion-related reactions, nausea, and diarrhea. ( 6.1 ) The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥10%) were neutrophils decreased, platelets decreased, lymphocyte count decreased, white blood cells decreased, hemoglobin decreased, and glucose increased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AbbVie Inc. at 1-800-633-9110 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch 6.1 Clinical T rials 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. The safety of DECNUPAZ was evaluated in CADENZA, a single-arm, open-label study that included 116 adults with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory myeloid malignancies, including 84 with BPDCN, treated with DECNUPAZ 0.045 mg/kg once every three weeks. The median number of cycles administered was 3 (range: 1 to 34) in the overall population, and 3.5 (range: 1 to 34) in patients with BPDCN. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 55% of patients treated with DECNUPAZ. The most common (≥2%) serious adverse reactions were febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, edema, sepsis, hemorrhage, thrombosis, infusion-related reactions, viral infection, pneumonitis, infections without specified pathogens, pyrexia, and musculoskeletal pain. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.3% of patients who received DECNUPAZ, including cardiac arrest (0.9%), clostridium difficile infection (0.9%), failure to thrive (0.9%), depressed level of consciousness (0.9%), and respiratory failure (0.9%). Permanent discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients who received DECNUPAZ. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of DECNUPAZ in ≥1% of patients included veno-occlusive disease and pneumonitis. Dosage interruptions of DECNUPAZ due to adverse reactions occurred in 37% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in dosage interruptions in ≥2% of patients included edema, pneumonia, infusion-related reaction, bacterial infections, fatigue, hemorrhage, neutropenia, pneumonitis, and pyrexia. Dose reductions of DECNUPAZ due to an adverse reaction occurred in 6% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥2% of patients included edema. The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were edema, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hemorrhage, infusion-related reactions, nausea, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥10%) were neutrophils decreased, platelets decreased, lymphocyte count decreased, white blood cells decreased, hemoglobin decreased, and glucose increased.
