Cladribine Tablets post-approval safety studies
WARNING: MALIGNANCIES and RISK OF TERATOGENICITY
- Treatment with MAVENCLAD may increase the risk of malignancy. MAVENCLAD is contraindicated in patients with current malignancy. In patients with prior malignancy or with increased risk of malignancy, evaluate the benefits and risks of the use of MAVENCLAD on an individual patient basis. Follow standard cancer screening guidelines in patients treated with MAVENCLAD.
- MAVENCLAD is contraindicated for use in pregnant women and in women and men of reproductive potential who do not plan to use effective contraception because of the potential for fetal harm. Malformations and embryolethality occurred in animals. Exclude pregnancy before the start of treatment with MAVENCLAD in females of reproductive potential. Advise females and males of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during MAVENCLAD dosing and for 6 months after the last dose in each treatment course. Stop MAVENCLAD if the patient becomes pregnant.
Worldwide pregnancy surveillance program
If, however, pregnancy occurs during this period in either female patients or the partners of male patients, please immediately inform your healthcare provider and report the case to EMD Serono
US-based regulatory post-marketing commitments are in the planning stages, focused on long-term malignancy risk, a worldwide pregnancy surveillance program, and drug-drug interactions with oral contraceptives. In the EU, two post authorization safety studies are in progress:
