WHAT OPGENRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Opgenra contains the active substance eptotermin alfa.
Opgenra is a type of medicine known as a bone morphogenetic protein
(BMP). This group of
medicines cause new bone to grow at the location where the surgeon has
placed (implanted) it.
Opgenra is implanted in adult patients with slippage of the spine
(spondylolisthesis) in cases where
treatment with autograft (transplanted bone from your hip) has failed
or must not be used.

where autograft has failed or is contra-indicated.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
This medicinal product should be used by an appropriately qualified
surgeon.

Opgenra is intended only for single use in each patient. Treatment
requires a single surgery. To fuse a
single level of the lumbar region of the spine, one unit of medicinal
product is used on each side of the
spine. The maximum human dose should not exceed 2 units since efficacy
and safety for spinal fusion
requiring higher doses has not been established.
_Paediatric population _
Opgenra is contraindicated in children (<12 years old), adolescents
(12-18 years old) and the
skeletally immature (see section 4.3).
_Renal/hepatic impairment _
Care should be used when Opgenra is used in patients with renal or
hepatic impairment (see section
4.4).
