PRESCRIPTION DRUG
ZOLGENSMA is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients less than 2 years of age with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with bi-allelic mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. Limitations of Use - The safety and effectiveness of repeat administration of ZOLGENSMA have not been evaluated [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)] . - The use of ZOLGENSMA in patients with advanced SMA (e.g., complete paralysis of limbs, permanent ventilator-dependence) has not been evaluated [see Clinical Studies (14)] . None. Risk Summary There are no available data regarding ZOLGENSMA use in pregnant women. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with ZOLGENSMA. In the United States general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Risk Summary There is no information available on the presence of ZOLGENSMA in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ZOLGENSMA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from ZOLGENSMA or from the underlying maternal condition. Administration of ZOLGENSMA to premature neonates before reaching full-term gestational age is not recommended, because concomitant treatment with corticosteroids may adversely affect neurological development. Delay ZOLGENSMA infusion until the corresponding full-term gestational age is reached. There is no information on whether breastfeeding should be restricted in mothers who may be seropositive for anti-AAV9 antibodies. The safety of ZOLGENSMA was studied in pediatric patients who received ZOLGENSMA infusion at age 0.3 to 7.9 months (weight range, 3.0 kg to 8.4 kg) [see Adverse Reactions (6)] . The efficacy of ZOLGENSMA was studied in pediatric patients who received ZOLGENSMA infusion at age 0.5 to 7.9 months (weight range, 3.6 kg to 8.4 kg) [see Clinical Studies (14)] . ZOLGENSMA therapy should be carefully considered in patients with liver impairment. Cases of acute serious liver injury and acute liver failure have been reported with ZOLGENSMA in patients with preexisting liver abnormalities. In clinical trials, elevation of aminotransferases was observed in patients following ZOLGENSMA infusion [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] .
ZOLGENSMA is shipped frozen (≤ -60°C [-76°F]) in 10 mL vials with 2 fill volumes (either 5.5 mL or 8.3 mL). ZOLGENSMA is provided as a customized kit to meet dosing requirements for each patient [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] , with each kit containing: Kit sizes and National Drug Codes (NDC) are provided in Table 3. 2.6 – 3.0 2 2 71894-120-02 3.1 – 3.5 2 1 3 71894-121-03 3.6 – 4.0 1 2 3 71894-122-03 4.1 – 4.5 3 3 71894-123-03 4.6 – 5.0 2 2 4 71894-124-04 5.1 – 5.5 1 3 4 71894-125-04 5.6 – 6.0 4 4 71894-126-04 6.1 – 6.5 2 3 5 71894-127-05 6.6 – 7.0 1 4 5 71894-128-05 7.1 – 7.5 5 5 71894-129-05 7.6 – 8.0 2 4 6 71894-130-06 8.1 – 8.5 1 5 6 71894-131-06 8.6 – 9.0 6 6 71894-132-06 9.1 – 9.5 2 5 7 71894-133-07 9.6 – 10.0 1 6 7 71894-134-07 10.1 – 10.5 7 7 71894-135-07 10.6 – 11.0 2 6 8 71894-136-08 11.1 – 11.5 1 7 8 71894-137-08 11.6 – 12.0 8 8 71894-138-08 12.1 – 12.5 2 7 9 71894-139-09 12.6 – 13.0 1 8 9 71894-140-09 13.1 – 13.5 9 9 71894-141-09 13.6 – 14.0 2 8 10 71894-142-10 14.1 – 14.5 1 9 10 71894-143-10 14.6 – 15.0 10 10 71894-144-10 15.1 – 15.5 2 9 11 71894-145-11 15.6 – 16.0 1 10 11 71894-146-11 16.1 – 16.5 11 11 71894-147-11 16.6 – 17.0 2 10 12 71894-148-12 17.1 – 17.5 1 11 12 71894-149-12 17.6 – 18.0 12 12 71894-150-12 18.1 – 18.5 2 11 13 71894-151-13 18.6 – 19.0 1 12 13 71894-152-13 19.1 – 19.5 13 13 71894-153-13 19.6 – 20.0 2 12 14 71894-154-14 20.1 – 20.5 1 13 14 71894-155-14 20.6 – 21.0 14 14 71894-156-14
