Indications for ISTODAX® (romidepsin) for injection
� Treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in patients who have received at least one prior therapy
� Treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) in patients who have received at least one prior systemic therapy
These indications are based on response rate. Clinical benefi t such as improvement in overall survival has not been demonstrated.
Important Safety InformationWARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS� Myelosuppression: ISTODAX® (romidepsin) for injection can cause
thrombocytopenia, leukopenia (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and anemia; monitor blood counts regularly during treatment with ISTODAX; interrupt and/or modify the dose as necessary
PRESS AHEADWITH 2ND-LINE ISTODAX
PTCL is typically an aggressive, di� cult to diagnose non-Hodgkin lymphoma largely associated with a poor prognosis1-3
PTCL incidence has increased and accounts for ~10% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas3,4
� Improved recognition of previously underdiagnosed lymphoma subtypes and growth in an aging population may account for increased incidence of the disease3,5

ISTODAX—evaluated in 2 multicenter, single-arm, international clinical studies
CR=complete response; CRu=complete response unconfi rmed; ECOG=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; NCI=National Cancer Institute; ORR=objective disease response rate; PR=partial response.
PTCL Study 4 (NCI-sponsored trial)9
� 47 patients were treated and evaluated
TRIAL DESIGN� ISTODAX was evaluated in a single-arm clinical study in patients with PTCL who had
failed prior therapy� Patients could be treated until disease progression at their discretion and that of
the investigator
PTCL STUDY 39,10
� E� cacy and safety were evaluated in the largest prospective single-arm PTCL study (Study 3)
� 131 patients were treated and evaluated for safety; 130 patients with histologically confi rmed PTCL were evaluated for e� cacy
� Patients received ISTODAX at a starting dose of 14 mg/m2 infused over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days
TRIAL DESIGN� 6 treatment cycles were planned, and responding patients continued
to receive treatment at their discretion and that of the investigator until study withdrawal criteria were met
� Response was determined by an independent review committee using the International Workshop Response Criteria (IWC)– A 2-step response evaluation process using separate review of
radiological and clinical assessments was employed
PATIENT CRITERIA� Histologically confi rmed PTCL� Failed at least 1 prior therapy� ECOG performance status score: 0-2
CRITICAL ENDPOINTS� Primary: complete response (CR + CRu)� Secondary: duration of response; objective disease response
(ORR; CR + CRu + PR)
PTCL Failed Prior
Therapy
ECOGScore
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS� Myelosuppression: ISTODAX® (romidepsin) for injection can cause thrombocytopenia,
leukopenia (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and anemia; monitor blood counts regularly during treatment with ISTODAX; interrupt and/or modify the dose as necessary

ISTODAX—studied in a histologically diverse population that included heavily pretreated patients
� 37% of patients in Study 3 received ≥3 prior therapies10
� 16% (n=21) and 38% (n=18) of patients received prior autologous stem cell transplant in Study 3 and Study 4, respectively9
� 24% (n=31) and 40% (n=19) of patients received prior radiation therapy in Study 3 and Study 4, respectively9
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (cont'd)� Infections: Fatal and serious infections, including pneumonia, sepsis, and viral
reactivation, including Epstein Barr and hepatitis B viruses, have been reported during and within 30 days after treatment with ISTODAX in clinical trials. The risk of life threatening infections may be greater in patients with a history of prior treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed against lymphocyte antigens and in patients with disease involvement of the bone marrow. Reactivation of Epstein Barr viral infection led to liver failure. Consider monitoring for reactivation and antiviral prophylaxis in patients with evidence of prior hepatitis B infection. Ganciclovir prophylaxis failed to prevent Epstein Barr viral reactivation in one case
aStage of disease was reported at time of diagnosis for Study 3 and at the time of study entry for Study 4.

Diagnosis of CTCL can often be delayed or missed in early-stage patients19
Romidepsin (ISTODAX) has a category 2A recommendation from the NCCN Guidelines® for CTCL based on Study 1 and Study 212,23,24
� Clinical, pathologic, and histologic features of CTCL can resemble benign infl ammatory skin diseases19
� Pruritus is the most frequent and earliest symptom of CTCL22
� The time between the onset of skin lesions and defi nite diagnosis ranges from 4 to 10 years, with a mean of 6 years19
FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN DIAGNOSING CTCL
ISTODAX® (romidepsin) for injection is indicated for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) in patients who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.
This indication is based on response rate. Clinical benefi t such as improvement in overall survival has not been demonstrated.
16Please see Important Safety Information on pages 30-31 and accompanying Full Prescribing Information in pocket.
ISTODAX—a body of evidence in CTCL (Studies 1 and 2)
� 185 patients were treated and evaluated for safety; 167 patients were evaluated for e� cacy
� Patients received ISTODAX at a starting dose of 14 mg/m2 infused over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days
TRIAL DESIGN� ISTODAX was evaluated in 2 multicenter, single-arm, international
clinical studies� Objective disease response was evaluated according to a composite
endpoint that included assessments of: skin involvement, lymph node involvement, abnormal circulating T cells (Sézary cells), and visceral involvement (Study 2 only)
� Patients could be treated until disease progression at the discretion of the investigator and local regulators
PATIENT CRITERIAStudy 1; N=96� CTCL, stage IB-IVA� Failed at least 1 prior systemic therapy
Study 2; N=71� CTCL, stage IA-IVB� Received at least 2 prior skin-directed therapies or 1 or more
systemic therapies
CRITICAL ENDPOINTS� Primary: overall objective disease response rate (ORR, CR + PR)
– CR was defi ned as no evidence of disease– PR was defi ned as ≥50% improvement in disease
� Secondary: duration of response; time to response
CTCL Failed Therapy
SystemicTherapies
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS� Myelosuppression: ISTODAX® (romidepsin) for injection can cause thrombocytopenia,
leukopenia (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and anemia; monitor blood counts regularly during treatment with ISTODAX; interrupt and/or modify the dose as necessary
Safety and e� cacy were evaluated in 2 single-arm CTCL studies9
ISTODAX—evaluated in 2 multicenter, single-arm, international clinical studies involving 43 centers across the United States, Europe, and Australia9,10
17
ISTODAX—studied across all disease stages in a pretreated population
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (cont'd)� Infections: Fatal and serious infections, including pneumonia, sepsis, and viral
reactivation, including Epstein Barr and hepatitis B viruses, have been reported during and within 30 days after treatment with ISTODAX in clinical trials. The risk of life threatening infections may be greater in patients with a history of prior treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed against lymphocyte antigens and in patients with disease involvement of the bone marrow. Reactivation of Epstein Barr viral infection led to liver failure. Consider monitoring for reactivation and antiviral prophylaxis in patients with evidence of prior hepatitis B infection. Ganciclovir prophylaxis failed to prevent Epstein Barr viral reactivation in one case
ISTODAX can be used for 2nd-line systemic therapy across CTCL subtypes, including mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, in patients who have received at least one prior systemic therapy9,10
71% and 87% of patients were stage IIB or greater in Study 1 and Study 2, respectively9
Patients received a median of 2 prior skin-directed therapies in Study 1 and 1 prior skin-directed therapy in Study 2 (range: 0-6)9

The most common Grade 3/4 adverse reactions (>5%) regardless of causality in Study 1 (N=102) were infections (11%) and asthenia/fatigue (8%), and in Study 2 (N=83) were lymphopenia (37%), infections (33%), neutropenia (27%), leukopenia (22%), anemia (16%), asthenia/fatigue (14%), thrombocytopenia (14%), hypophosphatemia (10%), vomiting (10%), dermatitis/exfoliative dermatitis (8%), hypermagnesemia (8%), hyperuricemia (8%), hypocalcemia (6%), nausea (6%), and pruritus (6%).
Infections were the most common type of serious adverse event reported in both Study 1 (N=102) and Study 2 (N=83) with 8 patients (8%) in Study 1 and 26 patients (31%) in Study 2 experiencing a serious infection.
The most common adverse reactions regardless of causality in Study 1 (N=102) were nausea (56%), asthenia/fatigue (53%), infections (46%), vomiting (34%), and anorexia (23%), and in Study 2 (N=83) were nausea (86%), asthenia/fatigue (77%), anemia (72%), thrombocytopenia (65%), ECG ST-T wave changes (63%), neutropenia (57%), lymphopenia (57%), infections (54%), anorexia (54%), vomiting (52%), hypocalcemia (52%), hyperglycemia (51%), hypoalbuminemia (48%), leukopenia (46%), dysgeusia (40%), and constipation (39%).
DRUG INTERACTIONS
� Monitor more frequently prothrombin time and International Normalized Ratio in patients concurrently administered ISTODAX and warfarin or coumarin derivatives
� Romidepsin is metabolized by CYP3A4
— Monitor patients for toxicity related to increased romidepsin exposure and follow dose modifi cations for toxicity when ISTODAX is initially co-administered with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
— Avoid co-administration of ISTODAX (romidepsin) with rifampin and other potent inducers of CYP3A4
� Exercise caution with concomitant use of ISTODAX and P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) inhibitors
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
� Pregnancy Category D: If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking ISTODAX, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus
� Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from ISTODAX, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother
� Patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment and/or patients with end-stage renal disease should be treated with caution
