What is the most important information I should know about IMDELLTRA?
IMDELLTRA may cause serious side effects, including:

| Due to the risk of CRS, you will receive IMDELLTRA on a "step-up dosing schedule":
- The step-up dosing schedule is when you receive a smaller dose of IMDELLTRA on Day 1 of your first treatment cycle (Cycle 1).
- You will receive the full treatment dose of IMDELLTRA on Day 8 and Day 15 of Cycle 1. You will receive the full treatment dose 1 time every 2 weeks after Day 15 of Cycle 1.
- If your dose of IMDELLTRA is delayed for any reason, you may need to repeat the "step-up dosing schedule".
- Before receiving your Day 1 and Day 8 doses of Cycle 1 of IMDELLTRA, you will be given a medicine to help reduce your risk of CRS. This will be given into your vein by intravenous (IV) infusion. You will also receive IV fluids after each of your Cycle 1 doses of IMDELLTRA (on Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15). Your healthcare provider will decide if you need to receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS with future doses.
