Vaccinate patients against encapsulated bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae type B at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of Empaveli therapy.

 

Provide 2 weeks of antibacterial drug prophylaxis to patients if Empaveli must be initiated immediately and vaccines are administered less than 2 weeks before starting therapy with Empaveli.

 

Posology

 

The recommended dose of Empaveli is 1080 mg by subcutaneous infusion twice weekly via a commercially available infusion pump with a reservoir of at least 20 mL

 

Dosage for patients switching to Empaveli from C5 inhibitors

To reduce the risk of hemolysis with abrupt treatment discontinuation:

-       For patients switching from eculizumab, initiate Empaveli while continuing eculizumab at its current dose. After 4 weeks, discontinue eculizumab before continuing on monotherapy with Empaveli.

-       For patients switching from ravulizumab, initiate Empaveli no more than 4 weeks after the last dose of ravulizumab.

 

Dose Adjustment

-       For lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels greater than 2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), adjust the dosing regimen to 1080 mg every three days.

-       In the event of a dose increase, monitor LDH twice weekly for at least 4 weeks.

 

Missed Dose

-       Administer Empaveli as soon as possible after a missed dose. Resume the regular dosing schedule following administration of the missed dose.

 

Paediatric population

The safety and efficacy of Empaveli in children with PNH aged 0 to <18 years have not yet been established. No data are available.

 

Elderly

Clinical studies of Empaveli did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients.

 

Method of administration

 

Empaveli is for subcutaneous infusion using an infusion pump.

 

Empaveli is intended for use under the guidance of a healthcare professional. After proper training in subcutaneous infusion, you may self-administer, or your caregiver may administer Empaveli, if a doctor determines that it is appropriate.

 

-       Refer to the Empaveli Patient Information Leaflet and the infusion pump manufacturer’s instructions for full preparation and administration information.

-       Use aseptic technique when preparing and administering Empaveli.

-       Prior to use‚ allow Empaveli to reach room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. Keep the vial in the carton until ready for use to protect from light.

-       Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Empaveli is a clear, colorless to slightly yellowish solution. Do not use if the liquid looks cloudy, contains particles, or is dark yellow.

-       Use a needleless transfer device (such as a vial adapter) or a transfer needle to fill the syringe.

-       Rotate infusion sites (i.e., abdomen, thighs, hips, upper arms) from one infusion to the next. Do not infuse where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Avoid infusing into tattoos, scars, or stretch marks.

-       If multi-infusion sets are needed, ensure the infusion sites are at least 7.5 cm apart.

-       The typical infusion time is approximately 30 minutes (if using two infusion sites) or approximately 60 minutes (if using one infusion site).

-       Discard any unused portion.


Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1. Empaveli is contraindicated in: - Patients who are not currently vaccinated against certain encapsulated bacteria, unless the risks of delaying Empaveli treatment outweigh the risks of developing a bacterial infection with an encapsulated organism see section 4.4. - Patients with unresolved serious infection caused by encapsulated bacteria including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae.

Serious Infections Caused by Encapsulated Bacteria

 

The use of Empaveli may predispose individuals to serious, life-threatening, or fatal infections caused by encapsulated bacteria including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis types A, C, W, Y, and B, and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib). To reduce the risk of infection, all patients must be vaccinated against these bacteria according to the most current ACIP recommendations for patients with altered immunocompetence associated with complement deficiencies. Revaccinate patients in accordance with ACIP recommendations considering the duration of therapy with Empaveli.

 

For patients without known history of vaccination, administer required vaccines at least 2 weeks prior to receiving the first dose of Empaveli. If immediate therapy with Empaveli is indicated, administer required vaccine as soon as possible and provide patients with 2 weeks of antibacterial drug prophylaxis.

 

Closely monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of serious infection and evaluate patients immediately if an infection is suspected. Promptly treat known infections. Serious infection may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early. Consider discontinuation of Empaveli in patients who are undergoing treatment for serious infections.

 

Infusion-Related Reactions

 

Systemic hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., facial swelling, rash, urticaria) have occurred in patients treated with Empaveli. One patient (less than 1% in clinical studies) experienced a serious allergic reaction which resolved after treatment with antihistamines. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction (including anaphylaxis) occurs, discontinue Empaveli infusion immediately, institute appropriate treatment, per standard of care, and monitor until signs and symptoms are resolved.

 

Monitoring PNH Manifestations after Discontinuation of Empaveli

 

After discontinuing treatment with Empaveli, closely monitor for signs and symptoms of hemolysis, identified by elevated LDH levels along with sudden decrease in PNH clone size or hemoglobin, or reappearance of symptoms such as fatigue, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, dyspnea, major adverse vascular events (including thrombosis), dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction. Monitor any patient who discontinues EMPAVELI for at least 8 weeks to detect hemolysis and other reactions. If hemolysis, including elevated LDH, occurs after discontinuation of Empaveli, consider restarting treatment with Empaveli.

 

Interference with laboratory tests

 

There may be interference between silica reagents in coagulation panels and Empaveli that results in artificially prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT); therefore, avoid the use of silica reagents in coagulation panels.

 

Excipients with known effect

 

Sorbitol content

Empaveli 1080 mg contains 820 mg sorbitol in each vial.

 

Sodium content

This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say, essentially ‘sodiumfree’.


No interaction studies have been performed.


Pregnancy

Empaveli may cause embryo fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to treatment with Empaveli. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Empaveli and for 40 days after the last dose.

 

Risk Summary

 

There are insufficient data on Empaveli use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with untreated PNH in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). The use of Empaveli may be considered following an assessment of the risks and benefits.

 

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of major birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.

 

Clinical Considerations

 

Disease-associated maternal and/or fetal/neonatal risk

PNH in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal outcomes, including worsening cytopenias, thrombotic events, infections, bleeding, miscarriages and increased maternal mortality, and adverse fetal outcomes, including fetal death and premature delivery.

 

Lactation

Risk Summary

 

It is not known whether pegcetacoplan is secreted in human milk or whether there is potential for absorption and harm to the infant. There are no data on the effects of pegcetacoplan on milk production. Since many medicinal products are secreted into human milk, and because of the potential for serious adverse reaction in a breastfeeding child, breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment and for 40 days after the last dose.


Empaveli has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.


The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling:

-       Serious Infections Caused by Encapsulated Bacteria (see section 4.4)

-       Infusion-Related Reactions (see section 4.4)

 

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

 

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

 

The data described below reflect the exposure of Empaveli in 80 adult patients with PNH who received Empaveli (n=41) or eculizumab (n=39) at the recommended dosing regimens for 16 weeks. Serious adverse events were reported in 7 (17%) patients with PNH receiving Empaveli. The most common serious adverse reaction in patients treated with Empaveli was infections (5%). The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) with Empaveli were injection-site reactions, infections, diarrhea, abdominal pain, respiratory tract infection, viral infection, and fatigue.

Description of Select Adverse Reactions

 

Injection-Site Reactions

Injection/infusion-site reactions (e.g., erythema, swelling, induration, pruritis, and pain) have been reported during Study APL2-302. These reactions were mild or moderate in severity.

 

Diarrhea

Nine cases of diarrhea have been reported during Study APL2-302. All cases were mild.

 

Immunogenicity

As with all therapeutic peptides, there is a potential for immunogenicity. Immunogenicity data are highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. The available methodology and data on anti-pegcetacoplan antibody formation were not adequate to fully assess the incidence of anti-drug antibodies or their effect on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, or effectiveness of pegcetacoplan.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Selective immunosuppressants, ATC code: L04AA54

 

Empaveli contains pegcetacoplan, a complement inhibitor. Pegcetacoplan is a symmetrical molecule comprised of two identical pentadecapeptides covalently bound to the ends of a linear 40-kiloDalton (kDa) PEG molecule. The peptide portions of pegcetacoplan contain 1-methyl-L-tryptophan (Trp(Me)) in position 4 and amino(ethoxyethoxy)acetic acid (AEEA) in position 14.

 

 

The molecular weight of pegcetacoplan is approximately 43.5 kDa. The molecular formula is C1970H3848N50O947S4. The structure of pegcetacoplan is shown below.

 

 

Mechanism of Action

Pegcetacoplan binds to complement protein C3 and its activation fragment C3b, thereby regulating the cleavage of C3 and the generation of downstream effectors of complement activation. In PNH, extravascular hemolysis (EVH) is facilitated by C3b opsonization while intravascular hemolysis (IVH) is mediated by the downstream membrane attack complex (MAC). Pegcetacoplan acts proximally in the complement cascade controlling both C3b-mediated EVH and terminal complement-mediated IVH.

 

Pharmacodynamics

The mean C3 concentration increased from 0.94 g/L at baseline to 3.83 g/L at Week 16 in patients with PNH administered multiple doses of pegcetacoplan. The baseline percentage of PNH Type II + III RBCs was 66.8%, which increased to 93.9% at Week 16. The mean percentage of PNH Type II + III RBCs with C3 deposition was 17.7% at baseline and decreased to 0.20% at Week 16.

 

Cardiac Electrophysiology

 

At the recommended dose of Empaveli, no large mean increases in QTc interval (i.e., greater than 20 msec) were observed.

 

Clinical studies Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

The efficacy and safety of Empaveli in patients with PNH were assessed in a randomized, open-label, active comparator-controlled, 16-week Phase 3 study (Study APL2-302; NCT03500549). The study enrolled patients with PNH who had been treated with a stable dose of eculizumab for at least the previous 3 months and with Hb levels less than 10.5 g/dL.

 

Eligible patients entered a 4-week run-in period during which they received Empaveli 1080 mg subcutaneously twice weekly in addition to their current dose of eculizumab. Patients were then randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 1080 mg of Empaveli twice weekly or their current dose of eculizumab through the duration of the 16-week randomized controlled period (RCP). If required, the dose of Empaveli could be adjusted to 1080 mg every 3 days. Empaveli was administered as a subcutaneous infusion; the infusion time was approximately 20 to 40 minutes.

 

Randomization was stratified based on the number of packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions within the 12 months prior to Day -28 (<4; ≥4) and platelet count at screening (<100,000/mm3; ≥100,000/mm3). Following completion of the RCP, all patients entered a 32-week open-label period and received monotherapy with Empaveli. All patients who completed the 48-week period were eligible to enroll in a separate long-term extension study.

 

Patients were vaccinated against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis types A, C, W, Y, and B, and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), either within 2 years prior to Day 1 or within 2 weeks after starting treatment with Empaveli Patients vaccinated after initiation of treatment with Empaveli received prophylactic treatment with appropriate antibiotics until 2 weeks after vaccination. In addition, prophylactic antibiotic therapy was administered at the discretion of the investigator in accordance with local treatment guidelines for patients with PNH receiving treatment with a complement inhibitor.

 

A total of 80 patients were randomized to receive treatment, 41 to Empaveli and 39 to eculizumab. Demographics and baseline disease characteristics were generally well balanced between treatment groups (see Table 2). The median times from PNH diagnosis to Day -28 were 6.0 and 9.7 years, respectively, for Empaveli and eculizumab. The baseline mean total PNH RBC clone sizes (Type III) were 47% for Empaveli and 50% for eculizumab. Twenty-nine percent and 23% of patients had a history of major adverse vascular events, and 37% and 26% had a history of thrombosis for patients receiving Empaveli or eculizumab, respectively. Within 28 days prior to the first dose of Empaveli or eculizumab, respectively, 34% and 31% of subjects used anti-thrombotic agents (anti-platelet and/or anticoagulants). During Study APL2-302, 37% and 36% of subjects on Empaveli and eculizumab, respectively, used antithrombotic agents. A total of 38 patients in the group treated with EMPAVELI and 39 patients in the eculizumab group completed the 16-week RCP and continued into the 32-week open-label period. Because of adverse events of hemolysis, 3 patients were discontinued from the Empaveli group during the RCP. Two out of 41 patients in the Empaveli group needed the dose adjustment to 1080 mg every 3 days.

The efficacy of Empaveli was based on change from baseline to Week 16 (during RCP) in hemoglobin level. Baseline was defined as the average of measurements recorded prior to taking the first dose of Empaveli. Supportive efficacy data included transfusion avoidance, defined as the proportion of patients who did not require a transfusion during the RCP, and change from baseline to Week 16 in absolute reticulocyte count (ARC).

 

Empaveli was superior to eculizumab for the change from baseline in hemoglobin level at Week 16 (P<0.0001). The adjusted mean change from baseline in hemoglobin level was 2.37 g/dL in the group treated with Empaveli versus -1.47 g/dL in the eculizumab group (Figure 1), demonstrating an adjusted mean increase of 3.84 g/dL with Empaveli compared to eculizumab at Week 16 (95% CI, 2.33-5.34).

Efficacy was generally similar across subgroups based on sex, race, and age.

 

The results of the controlled trial of Empaveli in patients with PNH are supported by 2 uncontrolled studies in patients with PNH who were not receiving a complement inhibitor: Study APL2-202 (NCT03593200) and Study APL2-CP-PNH-204 (NCT02588833). These studies enrolled a total of 24 patients with PNH who had a PNH clone size of at least 10%, an LDH at least 2 times the upper limit of normal, and at least 1 transfusion in the 12 months prior to enrollment. In both studies, the treatment duration was approximately 1 year. Increases in hemoglobin were observed in these trials.

 


Steady-state serum pegcetacoplan concentrations were achieved approximately 4 to 6 weeks following the first dose and mean (%CV) steady-state trough serum concentrations ranged between 655 (18.6%) to 706 (15.1%) mcg/mL in patients with PNH treated for 16 weeks. Exposure of pegcetacoplan increases proportionally over a dosage range from 45 to 1,440 mg (0.04 to 1.33 times the approved recommended dose).

 

Absorption

 

The median Tmax of pegcetacoplan is between 108 and 144 hours (4.5 to 6.0 days).

 

Distribution

 

The mean (%CV) volume of distribution of pegcetacoplan is approximately 3.9 L (35%) in patients with PNH.

 

Elimination

 

The estimated mean (CV%) of clearance (CL) is 0.37 L/day (28%) and median effective half-life of elimination (t1/2) is 8.0 days in patients with PNH.

 

Metabolism

 

Pegcetacoplan is expected to be metabolized into small peptides and amino acids by catabolic pathways.

 

Specific Populations

 

There were no clinically significant differences on the pharmacokinetics of pegcetacoplan based on age (19 to 81 years old), sex, race (Asian vs. non-Asian), renal impairment, and hepatic function as evaluated by total bilirubin (0.3-4.3 mg/dL), albumin (3.6-4.9 g/dL), aspartate aminotransferase (13-116 IU/L), or alanine aminotransferase (9-61 IU/L).


Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

 

Long-term animal carcinogenicity studies of pegcetacoplan have not been conducted.

 

Pegcetacoplan was not mutagenic when tested in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) and was not genotoxic in an in vitro assay in human TK6 cells or in an in vivo micronucleus assay in mice.

 

Effects of pegcetacoplan on fertility have not been studied in animals. There were no microscopic abnormalities in male or female reproductive organs in toxicity studies in rabbits and monkeys.

 

Animal reproduction studies with pegcetacoplan were conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. Pegcetacoplan treatment of pregnant cynomolgus monkeys at a subcutaneous dose of 28 mg/kg/day (2.9 times human exposure based on AUC) from the gestation period through parturition resulted in a statistically significant increase in abortions and stillbirths compared to controls. No increase in abortions or stillbirths occurred at a dose of 7 mg/kg/day (1.3 times human exposure based on AUC). No maternal toxicity or teratogenic effects were observed in offspring delivered at term. No developmental effects were observed in infants up to 6 months postpartum. Systemic exposure to pegcetacoplan of less than 1% of maternal levels was detected in fetuses from monkeys treated with 28 mg/kg/day from the period of organogenesis through the second trimester.

 

Pegcetacoplan was detectable in milk of lactating monkeys at less than 1% concentration of serum levels but was not detectable in the serum of nursing infants.

 

Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

 

In toxicology studies in rabbits and cynomolgus monkeys, epithelial vacuolation and infiltrates of vacuolated macrophages were observed in multiple tissues, including the renal tubules, following daily subcutaneous doses of pegcetacoplan up to 7 times the human dose. These findings are attributable to uptake of the PEG moieties of pegcetacoplan. Renal degeneration was observed microscopically in rabbits at exposures (Cmax and AUC) less than those for the human dose, and in monkeys at exposures approximately 2.7-fold those for the human dose. The clinical significance of these findings is uncertain.
