1. What is Tevimbra and what is it used for

Tevimbra is a cancer medicine that contains the active substance tislelizumab. It is a monoclonal antibody, a type of protein designed to recognize and bind to a specific target in the body called programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) found on the surface of T and B cells (types of white blood cells that are part of the immune system, the body's natural defenses). When PD-1 is activated by cancer cells, it can disconnect the activity of T cells. By blocking PD-1, Tevimbra prevents T cells from being disconnected, helping your immune system fight cancer.

Tevimbra is used in adults to treat:

  • a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer.
  • a type of lung cancer called small cell lung cancer in extensive stage.
  • a type of stomach cancer called gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
  • a type of esophageal cancer called esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

If you have any questions about how Tevimbra works or why you have been prescribed this medicine, ask your doctor.

Tevimbra may be given in combination with other medicines to treat cancer. It is important that you also read the package leaflet for the patient for these other medicines. If you have any questions about these medicines, ask your doctor.

2. What you need to know before you are given Tevimbra

You should not be given Tevimbra

  • if you are allergic to tislelizumab or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). Tell your doctor if you are not sure.

Warnings and precautions

Tell your doctor before you are given Tevimbra if you have or have had:

  • an autoimmune disease (a disease in which the body's defense system attacks normal cells)
  • liver inflammation (hepatitis) or other liver problems
  • kidney inflammation (nephritis)
  • pneumonia or lung inflammation (pneumonitis)
  • intestinal inflammation (colitis)
  • severe rash
  • problems with hormone-producing glands (including adrenal, pituitary, or thyroid glands)
  • type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • solid organ transplant
  • infusion-related reaction

a rare condition in which the immune system produces an excessive number of cells that fight infections, called histiocytes and lymphocytes, which are otherwise normal. It can cause liver and/or spleen enlargement, heart problems, and kidney abnormalities. Symptoms may include fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, breathing problems, and easy bruising. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms at the same time (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis)

If you are in any of these situations, or if you are not sure, talk to your doctor before you are given Tevimbra.

Tevimbra may cause severe side effects, which can be life-threatening and may cause death. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of these severe side effects during treatment with Tevimbra:

  • liver inflammation (hepatitis) or other liver problems
  • kidney inflammation (nephritis)
  • lung inflammation (pneumonitis)
  • intestinal inflammation (colitis)
  • severe skin reactions (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome [SJS] or toxic epidermal necrolysis [TEN]): symptoms may include fever, flu-like symptoms, rash, itching, blisters on the skin, or ulcers on the mouth or other moist surfaces
  • problems with hormone-producing glands (especially adrenal, pituitary, or thyroid glands): symptoms may include increased heart rate, extreme tiredness, weight gain or loss, dizziness or fainting, hair loss, feeling cold, constipation, or persistent headache
  • type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • infusion-related reaction
  • muscle inflammation (myositis)

  • nerve inflammation: symptoms may include pain, weakness, and paralysis in the limbs (Guillain-Barré syndrome)
  • For more information on the symptoms of any of the above cases, see section 4 ("Possible side effects"). Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

Patient Information Card

You will also find important information from this package leaflet in the Patient Information Card, which your doctor has given you. It is important that you carry the Patient Information Card with you at all times and show it to a healthcare professional if you experience signs or symptoms that may indicate an immune-related adverse reaction (described above in the "Severe side effects" section) so that you can receive a quick diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Checks during treatment with Tevimbra

Your doctor will perform regular checks (liver function test, kidney function test, X-rays) before and during treatment.

Your doctor will also perform regular blood tests before and during treatment with Tevimbra to check your blood sugar and hormone levels. This is because Tevimbra may affect your blood sugar and hormone levels.

Children and adolescents

Tevimbra should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Other medicines and Tevimbra

Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This includes herbal medicines and medicines without a prescription.

In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking any medicine that suppresses the immune system, including corticosteroids (such as prednisone), as these medicines may interfere with the effect of Tevimbra. However, once you have started treatment with Tevimbra, your doctor may give you corticosteroids to reduce any side effect you may experience.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before you are given this medicine.

You should not be given Tevimbra if you are pregnant, unless your doctor prescribes it. The effects of Tevimbra on pregnant women are not known, but it is possible that the active substance, tislelizumab, may harm the fetus.

  • If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you must use effective contraceptive methods while you are being treated with Tevimbra and for at least 4 months after the last dose of Tevimbra.
  • If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, talk to your doctor.

It is not known whether Tevimbra passes into breast milk. A risk to the breastfed child cannot be excluded. If you are breastfeeding, tell your doctor. You should not breastfeed during treatment with Tevimbra and for at least 4 months after the last dose of Tevimbra.

Driving and using machines

Tevimbra has a minor effect on the ability to drive or use machines.

Some possible side effects of Tevimbra are feeling tired or weak. Do not drive or use machines after you have been given Tevimbra unless you are sure you feel well.

Tevimbra contains sodium

Tell your doctor if you are on a low-sodium diet (low-salt diet) before you are given Tevimbra. This medicine contains 1.6 mg of sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) in each ml of concentrate. A single infusion of Tevimbra contains 32 mg of sodium in two 10 ml vials before dilution. This is equivalent to 1.6% of the maximum daily intake of sodium recommended by the WHO for an adult. Tevimbra should be diluted in sodium chloride solution for infusion. This should be taken into account in patients with sodium-controlled diet.

Tevimbra contains polysorbate

This medicine contains 0.2 mg of polysorbate 20 in each ml of concentrate, which is equivalent to 4.0 mg in two 10 ml vials of a single infusion of Tevimbra. Polysorbates may cause allergic reactions. Tell your doctor if you have known allergies.

3. How Tevimbra is given

You will be given Tevimbra in a hospital or clinic under the supervision of an experienced doctor.

  • The usual dose of Tevimbra is 200 mg, given as an intravenous infusion (by drip into a vein) every 3 weeks.
  • The first dose of Tevimbra will be given over a period of 60 minutes. If you tolerate the first dose well, the next infusion will be given over 30 minutes.
  • When Tevimbra is given in combination with chemotherapy, Tevimbra will be given first, followed by chemotherapy.
  • Read the package leaflet for the other cancer medicines to understand their use. If you have any questions, ask your doctor.
  • Your doctor will decide how many infusions you need.

If you miss a dose of Tevimbra
