Before you start Before you start How treatment is given

Before starting treatment

Your doctor will test a tissue sample to confirm your cancer is FRα+ and help determine if ELAHERE may be right for you.

To do this, they can use tumor tissue stored from an earlier biopsy or surgery or take a new sample.

Your doctor will also have you meet with an eye doctor before your first infusion and periodically throughout your treatment.

This may help you manage any eye-related side effects.

Your doctor will prescribe steroid eye drops and advise you on the use of lubricating eye drops before and during treatment with ELAHERE.

You should use steroid and lubricating drops as directed by your doctor.

Define:FRα+: A biomarker test result that means you have a certain amount of FRα on the surface of your cancer cells. If your ovarian cancer is FRα positive, ask your doctor if ELAHERE is right for you.

FRα=folate receptor alpha.

Before each dose of ELAHERE, you will receive medicines to help prevent infusion-related reactions, nausea, and vomiting.

Some of these medicines may be taken orally and some may be given to you by infusion into your vein
