Preparation

It is very important that the instructions for preparation (including admixing) and administration provided in this section are strictly followed to minimize medication errors (including underdose and overdose) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)].

BLINCYTO can be infused over 24 hours (preservative-free), 48 hours (preservative-free), or 7 days (with preservative). The choice between these options for the infusion duration should be made by the treating healthcare provider considering the frequency of the infusion bag changes and the weight of the patient.

For preparation, reconstitution, and administration of BLINCYTO:

  • See Section 2.5 for infusion over 24 hours or 48 hours.
  • See Section 2.6 for infusion over 7 days using Bacteriostatic 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol).

Call 1-800-77-AMGEN (1-800-772-6436) if you have questions about the reconstitution and preparation of BLINCYTO.

2.4.1 Aseptic Preparation

Strictly observe aseptic technique when preparing the solution for infusion since BLINCYTO vials do not contain antimicrobial preservatives. To prevent accidental contamination, prepare BLINCYTO according to aseptic standards, including but not limited to:

  • Prepare BLINCYTO in a USP <797> compliant facility.
  • Prepare BLINCYTO in an ISO Class 5 laminar flow hood or better.
  • Ensure that the admixing area has appropriate environmental specifications, confirmed by periodic monitoring.
  • Ensure that personnel are appropriately trained in aseptic manipulations and admixing of oncology drugs.
  • Ensure that personnel wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves.
  • Ensure that gloves and surfaces are disinfected.

2.4.2 Package Content

1 package BLINCYTO includes 1 vial of BLINCYTO and 1 vial of IV Solution Stabilizer.

  • Do not use IV Solution Stabilizer for reconstitution of BLINCYTO. IV Solution Stabilizer is provided with the BLINCYTO package and is used to coat the intravenous bag prior to addition of reconstituted BLINCYTO to prevent adhesion of BLINCYTO to intravenous bags and intravenous tubing.
  • More than 1 package of BLINCYTO may be needed to prepare the recommended dose.

2.4.3 Incompatibility Information

BLINCYTO is incompatible with di-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) due to the possibility of particle formation, leading to a cloudy solution.

  • ​Use polyolefin, DEHP-free PVC, or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) infusion bags/pump cassettes.
  • ​Use polyolefin, DEHP-free PVC, or EVA intravenous tubing sets.

Preparation and Administration of BLINCYTO as a 24-Hour or 48-Hour Infusion

Reconstitute BLINCYTO with preservative-free Sterile Water for Injection, USP. Do not reconstitute BLINCYTO vials with the IV Solution Stabilizer.

To prime the intravenous tubing, use only the solution in the bag containing the FINAL prepared BLINCYTO solution for infusion. Do not prime with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.

2.5.1 Reconstitution of BLINCYTO for 24-Hour or 48-Hour Infusion

  1. Determine the number of BLINCYTO vials needed for a dose and infusion duration.
  2. Reconstitute each BLINCYTO vial with 3 mL of preservative-free Sterile Water for Injection, USP by directing the water along the walls of the BLINCYTO vial and not directly on the lyophilized powder. The resulting concentration per BLINCYTO vial is 12.5 mcg/mL.
    • Do not reconstitute BLINCYTO vials with IV Solution Stabilizer.
  3. Gently swirl contents to avoid excess foaming.
    • Do not shake.
  4. Visually inspect the reconstituted solution for particulate matter and discoloration during reconstitution and prior to infusion. The resulting solution should be clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow.
    • Do not use if solution is cloudy or has precipitated.

2.5.2 Preparation of BLINCYTO Infusion Bag for 24-Hour or 48-Hour Infusion

Verify the prescribed dose and infusion duration for each BLINCYTO infusion bag. To minimize errors, use the specific volumes described in Tables 4 and 5 to prepare the BLINCYTO infusion bag.

  • Table 4 for patients weighing 45 kg or more
  • Table 5 for patients weighing less than 45 kg
    1. Aseptically add 270 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to the empty intravenous bag.
    2. Aseptically transfer 5.5 mL IV Solution Stabilizer to the intravenous bag containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Gently mix the contents of the bag to avoid foaming.
      Discard the vial containing the unused IV Solution Stabilizer.
    3. Aseptically transfer the required volume of reconstituted BLINCYTO solution into the intravenous bag containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and IV Solution Stabilizer. Gently mix the contents of the bag to avoid foaming.
