3 MULTIPLE MYELOMA: ICD-10-CM Codes for EMPLICITI ICD-10-CM codes are used to identify a patient s diagnosis and inpatient procedure. On October 1, 2015, the newest version of these codes, ICD-10-CM, was implemented throughout the United States. This version replaces the previous version, ICD-9-CM. The ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes contain categories, subcategories, and codes. Characters for categories, subcategories, and codes may be letters or numerals All categories are 3 characters Subcategories are either 4 or 5 characters Codes may be 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 characters The ICD-10-CM codes for the labeled indication for EMPLICITI are provided below by Bristol-Myers Squibb and should be verified with the payer. Some health plan and Medicare insurers may specify which codes are covered under their policies. Please code to the level of specificity documented in the medical record. For additional coding questions, call BMS Access Support at or visit ICD-10-CM Codes for EMPLICITI 1 C90 Multiple myeloma and malignant plasma cell neoplasms C90.0 Multiple myeloma C90.00 Multiple myeloma not having achieved remission C90.02 Multiple myeloma in relapse Note: If infusion is the only reason for the patient encounter, physicians and hospitals may report the code below as the primary diagnosis 1 : Z51.12 Encounter for antineoplastic immunotherapy The accurate completion of reimbursement- or coverage-related documentation is the responsibility of the healthcare provider and patient.

13 Determining Your Order 8 Because dosing for EMPLICITI is weight-based, the dose of EMPLICITI will vary by patient, and may be provided through a combination of vial sizes.* Step 1: Calculate total dose in mg needed (weight in kg x 10 = total dose in mg) Step 2: Determine quantity of single-dose vials needed based on total dose (see table below) A person weighing 60 kg would require a total dosage of 600 mg of EMPLICITI (two 300 mg vials) A person weighing 91 kg would require a total dosage of 910 mg of EMPLICITI (two 300 mg vials and one 400 mg vial) A person weighing 123 kg would require a total dosage of 1230 mg of EMPLICITI (three 300 mg vials and one 400 mg vial) *EMPLICITI is supplied in 300 mg or 400 mg single-dose vials. 8 13

14 Medicare Drug Reimbursement for EMPLICITI What is the Medicare reimbursement allowable for EMPLICITI? Physicians* The payment limit is 106% of average sales price (ASP), not including sequestration, and represents one billing unit of EMPLICITI, which is billed for each 1 mg 11 The amount paid to physicians for EMPLICITI HCPCS code J9176 is published at the beginning of each calendar quarter in Payment Allowance Limits for Medicare Part B Drugs, 12 which can be downloaded at McrPartBDrugAvgSalesPrice/2018ASPFiles.html Medicare Part B will pay physicians 80% of the allowed price for EMPLICITI HCPCS code J9176; the patient is responsible for 20% co-insurance, which may be covered by secondary insurance (private supplemental coverage, Medicaid, etc) 13 Hospital outpatient facilities* Drugs paid separately under the hospital outpatient fee schedule are based on 106% of average sales price (ASP), not including sequestration, for one billing unit for the corresponding HCPCS code. This is 1 mg for EMPLICITI HCPCS code J * The Payment Allowance Limits 12 are published each quarter at Fee-for-Service-Part-B-Drugs/McrPartBDrugAvgSalesPrice/2018ASPFiles.html Hospital inpatient settings Reimbursement in the inpatient setting is bundled into the Medicare Diagnosis Related Groups called MS-DRGs 14,15 This prospective rate changes on October 1 each year and does not allow for drugs to be paid separately 16 * While the statutory amount that Medicare will reimburse for a Part B Drug in a physician office will remain at ASP +6%, sequestration has resulted in a reduction to the Medicare portion of the payment to Medicare providers. Essentially, all payments from Medicare carriers to the providers (including physician offices, hospitals, etc) will be reduced by 2%. 17 See The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Internet Only Manual (IOM) Publication , Chapter

15 Commercial Insurance Reimbursement for EMPLICITI Physicians Drug reimbursement, like service reimbursement, is usually based on a fee schedule 18 The fee schedules are based on the ASP or AWP, as published by a credible source, 19,20 or an average costing methodology as determined by the payer, such as usual, customary, and reasonable (UC&R) 21 Hospital outpatient facilities In this setting, reimbursement is most commonly based on percentage of charges 20 Alternatively, some hospitals use the same ASP or AWP methodologies typically used by physician offices 20 Other methodologies include capitated model, cost minus submitted charges, or discount off submitted charges 20 Hospital inpatient settings Inpatient rates are prospective, meaning they are predetermined per discharge 14 There are private payers that pay on a version of the DRGs 15 There are also payers that pay on a negotiated and fixed rate per day called a per diem 15 ; there are capitated rates for inpatients as well 14 New drugs may be carved out of per diems or capitated rates, if the hospital negotiates to do so 22 15

20 Important Safety Information for EMPLICITI Infusion Reactions EMPLICITI can cause infusion reactions. Common symptoms include fever, chills, and hypertension. Bradycardia and hypotension also developed during infusions. In the trial, 5% of patients required interruption of the administration of EMPLICITI for a median of 25 minutes due to infusion reactions, and 1% of patients discontinued due to infusion reactions. Of the patients who experienced an infusion reaction, 70% (23/33) had them during the first dose. If a Grade 2 or higher infusion reaction occurs, interrupt the EMPLICITI infusion and institute appropriate medical and supportive measures. If the infusion reaction recurs, stop the EMPLICITI infusion and do not restart it on that day. Severe infusion reactions may require permanent discontinuation of EMPLICITI therapy and emergency treatment. Premedicate with dexamethasone, H1 Blocker, H2 Blocker, and acetaminophen prior to infusing with EMPLICITI. Infections In a clinical trial of patients with multiple myeloma (N=635), infections were reported in 81.4% of patients in the EMPLICITI with lenalidomide/dexamethasone arm (ERd) and 74.4% in the lenalidomide/dexamethasone arm (Rd). Grade 3-4 infections were 28% (ERd) and 24.3% (Rd). Opportunistic infections were reported in 22% (ERd) and 12.9% (Rd). Fungal infections were 9.7% (ERd) and 5.4% (Rd). Herpes zoster was 13.5% (ERd) and 6.9% (Rd). Discontinuations due to infections were 3.5% (ERd) and 4.1% (Rd). Fatal infections were 2.5% (ERd) and 2.2% (Rd). Monitor patients for development of infections and treat promptly. Second Primary Malignancies In a clinical trial of patients with multiple myeloma (N=635), invasive second primary malignancies (SPM) were 9.1% (ERd) and 5.7% (Rd). The rate of hematologic malignancies were the same between ERd and Rd treatment arms (1.6%). Solid tumors were reported in 3.5% (ERd) and 2.2% (Rd). Skin cancer was reported in 4.4% (ERd) and 2.8% (Rd). Monitor patients for the development of SPMs. Hepatotoxicity Elevations in liver enzymes (AST/ALT greater than 3 times the upper limit, total bilirubin greater than 2 times the upper limit, and alkaline phosphatase less than 2 times the upper limit) consistent with hepatotoxicity were 2.5% (ERd) and 0.6% (Rd). Two patients experiencing hepatotoxicity discontinued treatment; however, 6 out of 8 patients had resolution and continued treatment. Monitor liver enzymes periodically. Stop EMPLICITI upon Grade 3 or higher elevation of liver enzymes. After return to baseline values, continuation of treatment may be considered. Interference with Determination of Complete Response EMPLICITI is a humanized IgG kappa monoclonal antibody that can be detected on both the serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation assays used for the clinical monitoring of endogenous M-protein. This interference can impact the determination of complete response and possibly relapse from complete response in patients with IgG kappa myeloma protein. Pregnancy/Females and Males of Reproductive Potential There are no studies with EMPLICITI with pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks. There is a risk of fetal harm, including severe lifethreatening human birth defects associated with lenalidomide and it is contraindicated for use in pregnancy. Refer to the lenalidomide full prescribing information for requirements regarding contraception and the prohibitions against blood and/or sperm donation due to presence and transmission in blood and/or semen and for additional information. Adverse Reactions Infusion reactions were reported in approximately 10% of patients treated with EMPLICITI with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. All reports of infusion reaction were Grade 3 or lower. Grade 3 infusion reactions occurred in 1% of patients. Serious adverse reactions were 65.4% (ERd) and 56.5% (Rd). The most frequent serious adverse reactions in the ERd arm compared to the Rd arm were: pneumonia (15.4%, 11%), pyrexia (6.9%, 4.7%), respiratory tract infection (3.1%, 1.3%), anemia (2.8%, 1.9%), pulmonary embolism (3.1%, 2.5%), and acute renal failure (2.5%, 1.9%). The most common adverse reactions in ERd and Rd, respectively (>20%) were fatigue (61.6%, 51.7%), diarrhea (46.9%, 36.0%), pyrexia (37.4%, 24.6%), constipation (35.5%, 27.1%), cough (34.3%, 18.9%), peripheral neuropathy (26.7%, 20.8%), nasopharyngitis (24.5%, 19.2%), upper respiratory tract infection (22.6%, 17.4%), decreased appetite (20.8%, 12.6%), and pneumonia (20.1%, 14.2%).

FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE EMPLICITI is indicated in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received one to three prior therapies. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Recommended Dosing The recommended dosage of EMPLICITI is 10 mg/kg administered intravenously every week for the first two cycles and every 2 weeks thereafter in conjunction with the recommended dosing of lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone as described below. Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Refer to the dexamethasone and lenalidomide prescribing information for additional information. Patients must be premedicated before each dose of EMPLICITI [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Administer dexamethasone as follows: On days that EMPLICITI is administered, give dexamethasone 28 mg orally between 3 and 24 hours before EMPLICITI plus 8 mg intravenously between 45 and 90 minutes before EMPLICITI. On days that EMPLICITI is not administered but a dose of dexamethasone is scheduled (Days 8 and 22 of cycle 3 and all subsequent cycles), give 40 mg orally. The recommended dosing is presented in Table 1. Table 1: Recommended Dosing Schedule of EMPLICITI in Combination with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone Cycle 28-Day Cycles 1 and 2 28-Day Cycles 3+ Day of Cycle Premedication* EMPLICITI (mg/kg) intravenously Lenalidomide (25 mg) orally Days 1-21 Days 1-21 Dexamethasone (mg) orally Dexamethasone* (mg) intravenously Day of Cycle * Premedicate with the following 45 to 90 minutes prior to EMPLICITI infusion: 8 mg intravenous dexamethasone, H1 blocker: diphenhydramine (25 to 50 mg orally or intravenously) or equivalent; H2 blocker: ranitidine (50 mg intravenously) or equivalent; acetaminophen (650 to 1000 mg orally). Oral dexamethasone (28 mg) taken between 3 and 24 hours before EMPLICITI infusion.

24 EMPLICITI (elotuzumab) EMPLICITI (elotuzumab) 2.2 Premedication Dexamethasone When EMPLICITI is used in combination with lenalidomide, divide dexamethasone into an oral and intravenous dose and administer as shown in Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. Other Medications In addition to dexamethasone, complete administration of the following medications 45 to 90 minutes prior to EMPLICITI infusion: H1 blocker: diphenhydramine (25 to 50 mg orally or intravenously) or equivalent H1 blocker. H2 blocker: ranitidine (50 mg intravenously or 150 mg orally) or equivalent H2 blocker. Acetaminophen (650 to 1000 mg orally). 2.3 Dose Modifications If the dose of one drug in the regimen is delayed, interrupted, or discontinued, the treatment with the other drugs may continue as scheduled. However, if dexamethasone is delayed or discontinued, base the decision whether to administer EMPLICITI on clinical judgment (i.e., risk of hypersensitivity). If a Grade 2 or higher infusion reaction occurs during EMPLICITI administration, interrupt the infusion and institute appropriate medical and supportive measures. Upon resolution to Grade 1 or lower, restart EMPLICITI at 0.5 ml per minute and gradually increase at a rate of 0.5 ml per minute every 30 minutes as tolerated to the rate at which the infusion reaction occurred. Resume the escalation regimen if there is no recurrence of the infusion reaction (see Table 2). In patients who experience an infusion reaction, monitor vital signs every 30 minutes for 2 hours after the end of the EMPLICITI infusion. If the infusion reaction recurs, stop the EMPLICITI infusion and do not restart on that day [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Severe infusion reactions may require permanent discontinuation of EMPLICITI therapy and emergency treatment. Dose delays and modifications for dexamethasone and lenalidomide should be performed as recommended in their Prescribing Information. 2.4 Administration Administer the entire EMPLICITI infusion with an infusion set and a sterile, nonpyrogenic, low-protein-binding filter (with a pore size of 0.2 to 1.2 micrometer) using an automated infusion pump. Initiate EMPLICITI infusion at a rate of 0.5 ml per minute. The infusion rate may be increased in a stepwise fashion as described in Table 2 if no infusion reactions develop. The maximum infusion rate should not exceed 5 ml per minute. Table 2: Infusion Rate for EMPLICITI Cycle 1, Dose 1 Cycle 1, Dose 2 Cycle 1, Dose 3 and 4 and All Subsequent Cycles Time Interval Rate Time Interval Rate Rate 0-30 min 0.5 ml/min 0-30 min 3 ml/min min 1 ml/min 30 min or more 60 min or more 2 ml/min ml/min 5 ml/min Adjust the infusion rate following a Grade 2 or higher infusion reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Do not mix EMPLICITI with, or administer as an infusion with, other medicinal products. No physical or biochemical compatibility studies have been conducted to evaluate the coadministration of EMPLICITI with other agents. 2.5 Reconstitution and Preparation Calculation of Dose Calculate the dose (mg) and determine the number of vials needed for the 10 mg/kg dosage based on patient weight. Determine the volume of sterile water for injection (SWFI) needed for reconstitution as shown in Table 3. Table 3: Strength Reconstitution Instructions for EMPLICITI Amount of Sterile Water for Injection, USP Required for Reconstitution Deliverable Volume of Reconstituted EMPLICITI in the Vial Postreconstitution Concentration 300 mg vial 13 ml 12 ml* 25 mg/ml 400 mg vial 17 ml 16 ml* 25 mg/ml * After reconstitution, each vial contains overfill to allow for withdrawal of 12 ml (300 mg) and 16 ml (400 mg), respectively. Reconstitution Aseptically reconstitute each EMPLICITI vial with a syringe of adequate size and a less than or equal to 18-gauge needle (e.g., 17-gauge). A slight back pressure may be experienced during administration of the Sterile Water for Injection, USP, which is considered normal. Hold the vial upright and swirl the solution by rotating the vial to dissolve the lyophilized cake. Invert the vial a few times in order to dissolve any powder that may be present on top of the vial or the stopper. Avoid vigorous agitation. DO NOT SHAKE. The lyophilized powder should dissolve in less than 10 minutes. After the remaining solids are completely dissolved, allow the reconstituted solution to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. The reconstituted preparation results in a colorless to slightly yellow, clear to slightly opalescent solution. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Discard the solution if any particulate matter or discoloration is observed. Dilution Once the reconstitution is completed, withdraw the necessary volume for the calculated dose from each vial, up to a maximum of 16 ml from 400 mg vial and 12 ml from 300 mg vial. Further dilute with 230 ml of either 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, into an infusion bag made of polyvinyl chloride or polyolefin. The volume of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP can be adjusted so as not to exceed 5 ml/kg of patient weight at any given dose of EMPLICITI. Complete the EMPLICITI infusion within 24 hours of reconstitution of the EMPLICITI lyophilized powder. If not used immediately, the infusion solution may be stored under refrigeration conditions: 2 C to 8 C (36 F-46 F) and protected from light for up to 24 hours (a maximum of 8 hours of the total 24 hours can be at room temperature, 20 C to 25 C [68 F-77 F], and room light). 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS For injection: 300 mg or 400 mg of elotuzumab as a white to off-white lyophilized powder in a single-dose vial for reconstitution. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Infusion Reactions EMPLICITI can cause infusion reactions. Infusion reactions were reported in approximately 10% of patients treated with EMPLICITI with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in the randomized trial in multiple myeloma. All reports of infusion reaction were Grade 3 or lower. Grade 3 infusion reactions occurred in 1% of patients. The most common symptoms of an infusion reaction included fever, chills, and hypertension. Bradycardia and hypotension also developed during infusions. In the trial, 5% of patients required interruption of the administration of EMPLICITI for a median of 25 minutes due to infusion reactions, and 1% of patients discontinued due to infusion reactions. Of the patients who experienced an infusion reaction, 70% (23/33) had them during the first dose. Administer premedication consisting of dexamethasone, antihistamines (H1 and H2 blockers) and acetaminophen prior to EMPLICITI infusion [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. Interrupt EMPLICITI infusion for Grade 2 or higher infusion reactions and institute appropriate medical management [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
