evrysdi- risdiplam powder, for solution

genentech inc. - risdiplam (unii: 76rs4s2et1) (risdiplam - unii:76rs4s2et1) - evrysdi is indicated for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (sma) in pediatric and adult patients. none. there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy and fetal/neonatal/infant outcomes in women exposed to evrysdi during pregnancy. physicians are encouraged to register patients and pregnant women are encouraged to register themselves by calling 1-833-760-1098 or visiting https://www.evrysdipregnancyregistry.com. risk summary there are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of evrysdi in pregnant women. in animal studies, administration of risdiplam during pregnancy or throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in adverse effects on development (embryofetal mortality, malformations, decreased fetal body weights, and reproductive impairment in offspring) at or above clinically relevant drug exposures [see data]. the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. based on animal data, advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. data animal data oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weights and increased incidences of fetal structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was not associated with maternal toxicity. the no-effect level for adverse effects on embryofetal development (3 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (auc) approximately 2 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 5 mg. oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 4, or 12 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits throughout organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality, fetal malformations (hydrocephaly), and structural variations at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. the no-effect dose for adverse effects on embryofetal development (4 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (auc) approximately 4 times that in humans at the mrhd. when risdiplam (0, 0.75, 1.5, or 3 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, gestation was prolonged in the dams, and delayed sexual maturation (vaginal opening) and impaired reproductive function (decreased numbers of corpora lutea, implantation sites, and live embryos) were observed in female offspring at the highest dose. the no-effect dose for adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development in rats (1.5 mg/kg/day) was associated with maternal plasma exposure (auc) similar to that in humans at the mrhd. risk summary there are no data on the presence of risdiplam in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. risdiplam was excreted in the milk of lactating rats orally administered risdiplam. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for evrysdi and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from evrysdi or from the underlying maternal condition. studies of risdiplam in juvenile and adult rats and in monkeys demonstrated adverse effects on the reproductive organs, including germ cells, in males at clinically-relevant plasma exposures [see use in specific populations (8.4) and nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . pregnancy testing pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating evrysdi [see use in specific populations (8.1)] . contraception evrysdi may cause embryofetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see use in specific populations (8.1)]. female patients advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with evrysdi and for at least 1 month after her last dose. infertility male patients male fertility may be compromised by treatment with evrysdi [see nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . counsel male patients of reproductive potential receiving evrysdi about the potential effects on fertility. male patients may consider sperm preservation prior to treatment. the safety and effectiveness of evrysdi in pediatric patients (neonates and older) have been established. use of evrysdi for sma is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of evrysdi in patients 2 months of age and older with sma. use of evrysdi for sma in patients 2 months of age and younger is supported by pharmacokinetic and safety data from pediatric patients 16 days and older, and pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation to identify the dosing regimen [see clinical pharmacology (12.3) and clinical studies (14)] . juvenile animal toxicity data oral administration of risdiplam (0, 0.75, 1.5, 2.5 mg/kg/day) to young rats from postnatal day (pnd) 4 through pnd 31 resulted in decreased growth (body weight, tibia length) and delayed sexual maturation in males at the mid and high dose. the skeletal and body weight deficits persisted after cessation of dosing. ophthalmic changes consisting of vacuoles in the anterior vitreous were seen at the high dose. decreases in absolute b lymphocyte counts were observed at all doses after cessation of dosing. decreases in testis and epididymis weights, which correlated with degeneration of the seminiferous epithelium in the testis, occurred at the mid and high doses; the histopathology findings were reversible, but organ weight persisted after cessation of dosing. impaired female reproductive performance (decreased mating index, fertility index, and conception rate) was observed at the high dose. a no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects on preweaning rats was not identified. the lowest dose tested (0.75 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures (auc) lower than that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 5 mg/day. oral administration of risdiplam (0, 1, 3, or 7.5 mg/kg/day) to young rats from pnd 22 through pnd 112 produced a marked increase in micronuclei in the bone marrow, male reproductive organ histopathology (degeneration/necrosis of the seminiferous tubule epithelium, oligo/aspermia in the epididymis, spermatic granulomas), and adverse effects on sperm parameters (decreased sperm concentration and motility, increased sperm morphology abnormalities) at the highest dose tested. increases in t lymphocytes (total, helper, and cytotoxic) were observed at the mid and high doses. the reproductive and immune effects persisted after cessation of dosing. the no-effect dose (1 mg/kg/day) for adverse effects on postweaning juvenile rats was associated with plasma exposures (auc) lower than that in humans at the mrhd. clinical studies of evrysdi did not include patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients. instructions for use evrysdi® [ev-riz-dee] (risdiplam)

rozlytrek- entrectinib capsule rozlytrek- entrectinib pellet

genentech, inc. - entrectinib (unii: l5orf0an1i) (entrectinib - unii:l5orf0an1i) - rozlytrek is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with ros1- positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc), as detected by an fda-approved test. rozlytrek is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients older than 1 month of age with solid tumors that: - have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (ntrk) gene fusion, as detected by an fda-approved test without a known acquired resistance mutation, - are metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and - have progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy. this indication is approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response [see clinical studies (14.2)] . continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the confirmatory trials. none. risk summary based on literature reports in humans with congenital mutations leading to changes in trk signaling, findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action [see clinical pharmacology (12.1)] , rozlytrek can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. there are no available data on rozlytrek use in pregnant women. administration of entrectinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in malformations at maternal exposures approximately 2.7 times the human exposure at the 600 mg dose (see data) . advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. in the u.s. 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. data human data published reports of individuals with congenital mutations in trk pathway proteins suggest that decreases in trk-mediated signaling are correlated with obesity, developmental delays, cognitive impairment, insensitivity to pain, and anhidrosis. animal data entrectinib administration to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at a dose of 200 mg/kg [resulting in exposures up to 2.7 times the human exposure (auc) at the 600 mg dose] resulted in maternal toxicity and fetal malformations including body closure defects (omphalocele and gastroschisis) and malformations of the vertebrae, ribs, and limbs (micromelia and adactyly), but not embryolethality. lower fetal weights and reduced skeletal ossification occurred at doses ≥ 12.5 and 50 mg/kg [approximately 0.2 and 0.9 times the human exposure (auc) at the 600 mg dose], respectively. risk summary there are no data on the presence of entrectinib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on either the breastfed child or on milk production. because of the potential serious adverse reactions in breastfed children from rozlytrek, advise a lactating woman to discontinue breastfeeding during treatment with rozlytrek and for 7 days after the last dose. pregnancy testing verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating rozlytrek [see use in specific populations (8.1)] . contraception rozlytrek can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see use in specific populations (8.1)]. females advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with rozlytrek and for at least 5 weeks following the last dose [see use in specific populations (8.1)] . males advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with rozlytrek and for 3 months following the last dose [see nonclinical toxicology (13.1)]. the safety and effectiveness of rozlytrek have been established in pediatric patients older than 1 month of age [clinical studies (14.2)]. use of rozlytrek in these age groups is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of rozlytrek in adults and pediatric patients with additional population pharmacokinetic data demonstrating that the exposure of drug substance in pediatric patients greater than 1 month of age is expected to be in the adult range, and that the course of disease is sufficiently similar in adult and pediatric patients to allow extrapolation of data in adults to pediatric patients. the safety and effectiveness of rozlytrek have not been established in pediatric patients with ros1 -positive nsclc. juvenile animal toxicity data in a 13-week juvenile rat toxicology study, animals were dosed daily from post-natal day 7 to day 97 (approximately equivalent to neonate to adulthood). entrectinib resulted in: - decreased body weight gain and delayed sexual maturation at doses ≥ 4 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.06 times the human exposure (auc) at the 600 mg dose), - deficits in neurobehavioral assessments including functional observational battery and learning and memory (at doses ≥ 8 mg/kg/day, approximately 0.14 times the human exposure at the 600 mg dose), and - decreased femur length at doses ≥ 16 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.18 times the human exposure at the 600 mg dose). of the 355 patients who received rozlytrek across clinical trials, 25% were 65 years or older, and 5% were 75 years of age or older. clinical studies of rozlytrek did not include sufficient numbers of geriatric patients to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. no dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (clcr 30 to < 90 ml/min calculated by cockcroft-gault equation). rozlytrek has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (clcr < 30 ml/min) [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. the effect of moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 – 3.0 times uln with any aspartate aminotransferase) or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3.0 times uln with any aspartate aminotransferase) on the safety of rozlytrek at the recommended dosage is unknown. consider the risk-benefit profile of rozlytrek prior to determining whether to administer rozlytrek to patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment. monitor for rozlytrek adverse reactions in patients with hepatic impairment more frequently since these patients may be at increased risk for adverse reactions [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. instructions for use rozlytrek® [roz lye trek] (entrectinib) capsules, for oral use this instructions for use contains information on how to prepare and take or give rozlytrek capsules. read this instructions for use before giving rozlytrek capsules for the first time and each time you get a refill. there may be new information. rozlytrek capsules can be swallowed whole or prepared as a suspension and taken or given by mouth or through a nasogastric tube (ng tube) or gastrostomy tube (g tube) feeding tube. -

genentech, inc. - mycophenolate mofetil (unii: 9242ecw6r0) (mycophenolic acid - unii:hu9dx48n0t) - mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg - cellcept [mycophenolate mofetil (mmf)] is indicated for the prophylaxis of organ rejection, in adult and pediatric recipients 3 months of age and older of allogeneic kidney [see clinical studies (14.1)], heart [see clinical studies (14.2)] or liver transplants [see clinical studies (14.3)] , in combination with other immunosuppressants. allergic reactions to cellcept have been observed; therefore, cellcept is contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity to mycophenolate mofetil (mmf), mycophenolic acid (mpa) or any component of the drug product. cellcept intravenous is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to polysorbate 80 (tween). pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to mycophenolate during pregnancy and those becoming pregnant within 6 weeks of discontinuing cellcept treatment. to report a pregnancy or obtain information about the registry, visit www.mycophenolaterems.com or call 1-800-617-8191. risk summary use of mycophenolate mofetil (mmf) during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of first trimester pregnancy loss and an increased risk of multiple congenital malformations in multiple organ systems [see human data] . oral administration of mycophenolate to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis produced congenital malformations and pregnancy loss at doses less than the recommended clinical dose (0.01 to 0.05 times the recommended clinical doses in kidney and heart transplant patients) [see animal data]. consider alternative immunosuppressants with less potential for embryofetal toxicity. risks and benefits of cellcept should be discussed with the pregnant woman. the estimated background risk of pregnancy loss and congenital malformations in organ transplant populations is not clear. in the u.s. 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. data human data a spectrum of congenital malformations (including multiple malformations in individual newborns) has been reported in 23 to 27% of live births in mmf exposed pregnancies, based on published data from pregnancy registries. malformations that have been documented include external ear, eye, and other facial abnormalities including cleft lip and palate, and anomalies of the distal limbs, heart, esophagus, kidney, and nervous system. based on published data from pregnancy registries, the risk of first trimester pregnancy loss has been reported at 45 to 49% following mmf exposure. animal data in animal reproductive toxicology studies, there were increased rates of fetal resorptions and malformations in the absence of maternal toxicity. oral administration of mmf to pregnant rats from gestational day 7 to day 16 produced increased embryofetal lethality and fetal malformations including anophthalmia, agnathia, and hydrocephaly at doses equivalent to 0.015 and 0.01 times the recommended human doses for renal and cardiac transplant patients, respectively, when corrected for bsa. oral administration of mmf to pregnant rabbits from gestational day 7 to day 19 produced increased embryofetal lethality and fetal malformations included ectopia cordis, ectopic kidneys, diaphragmatic hernia, and umbilical hernia at dose equivalents as low as 0.05 and 0.03 times the recommended human doses for renal and cardiac transplant patients, respectively, when corrected for bsa. risk summary there are no data on the presence of mycophenolate in human milk, or the effects on milk production. there are limited data in the national transplantation pregnancy registry on the effects of mycophenolate on a breastfed child [see data] . studies in rats treated with mmf have shown mycophenolic acid (mpa) to be present in milk. because available data are limited, it is not possible to exclude potential risks to a breastfeeding infant. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for cellcept and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from cellcept or from the underlying maternal condition. data limited information is available from the national transplantation pregnancy registry. of seven infants reported by the national transplantation pregnancy registry to have been breastfed while the mother was taking mycophenolate, all were born at 34-40 weeks gestation, and breastfed for up to 14 months. no adverse events were reported. females of reproductive potential must be made aware of the increased risk of first trimester pregnancy loss and congenital malformations and must be counseled regarding pregnancy prevention and planning. pregnancy planning for patients who are considering pregnancy, consider alternative immunosuppressants with less potential for embryofetal toxicity whenever possible. risks and benefits of cellcept should be discussed with the patient. pregnancy testing to prevent unplanned exposure during pregnancy, all females of reproductive potential should have a serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 miu/ml immediately before starting cellcept. another pregnancy test with the same sensitivity should be done 8 to 10 days later. repeat pregnancy tests should be performed during routine follow-up visits. results of all pregnancy tests should be discussed with the patient. in the event of a positive pregnancy test, consider alternative immunosuppressants with less potential for embryofetal toxicity whenever possible. contraception female patients females of reproductive potential taking cellcept must receive contraceptive counseling and use acceptable contraception (see table 9 for acceptable contraception methods). patients must use acceptable birth control during the entire cellcept therapy, and for 6 weeks after stopping cellcept, unless the patient chooses abstinence. patients should be aware that cellcept reduces blood levels of the hormones from the oral contraceptive pill and could theoretically reduce its effectiveness [see drug interactions (7.2)]. - intrauterine devices (iuds) - tubal sterilization - patient's partner vasectomy - oral contraceptive pill - transdermal patch - vaginal ring - injection - implant - diaphragm with spermicide - cervical cap with spermicide - contraceptive sponge - male condom - female condom - diaphragm with spermicide - cervical cap with spermicide - contraceptive sponge - male condom - female condom male patients genotoxic effects have been observed in animal studies at exposures exceeding the human therapeutic exposures by approximately 1.25 times. thus, the risk of genotoxic effects on sperm cells cannot be excluded. based on this potential risk, sexually active male patients and/or their female partners are recommended to use effective contraception during treatment of the male patient and for at least 90 days after cessation of treatment. also, based on the potential risk of genotoxic effects, male patients should not donate sperm during treatment with cellcept and for at least 90 days after cessation of treatment [see use in special populations (8.1), nonclinical toxicology (13.1), patient counseling information (17.9)] . safety and effectiveness have been established in pediatric patients 3 months and older for the prophylaxis of organ rejection of allogenic kidney, heart or liver transplants. kidney transplant use of cellcept in this population is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of cellcept in adults with additional data from one open-label, pharmacokinetic and safety study of cellcept in pediatric patients after receiving allogeneic kidney transplant (100 patients, 3 months to 18 years of age) [see dosage and administration (2.2), adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.1)] . heart transplant and liver transplant use of cellcept in pediatric heart transplant and liver transplant patients is supported by adequate and well-controlled studies and pharmacokinetic data in adult heart transplant and liver transplant patients. additional supportive data include pharmacokinetic data in pediatric kidney transplant and pediatric liver transplant patients (8 liver transplant patients, 9 months to 5 years of age, in an open-label, pharmacokinetic and safety study) and published evidence of clinical efficacy and safety in pediatric heart transplant and pediatric liver transplant patients [see dosage and administration (2.3, 2.4), adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.1)] . clinical studies of cellcept 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 geriatric and younger patients. in general, dose selection for a geriatric patient should take into consideration the presence of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function and of concomitant drug therapies [see adverse reactions (6.1), drug interactions (7)]. patients with kidney transplant no dosage adjustments are needed in kidney transplant patients experiencing delayed graft function postoperatively but patients should be carefully monitored [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. in kidney transplant patients with severe chronic impairment of the graft (gfr <25 ml/min/1.73 m2 ), no dose adjustments are necessary; however, doses greater than 1 g administered twice a day should be avoided. patients with heart and liver transplant no data are available for heart or liver transplant patients with severe chronic renal impairment. cellcept may be used for heart or liver transplant patients with severe chronic renal impairment if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. patients with kidney transplant no dosage adjustments are recommended for kidney transplant patients with severe hepatic parenchymal disease. however, it is not known whether dosage adjustments are needed for hepatic disease with other etiologies [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. patients with heart transplant no data are available for heart transplant patients with severe hepatic parenchymal disease. read this instructions for

VALCYTE- valganciclovir tablet, film coated
VALCYTE- valganciclovir hydrochloride powder, for solution USA - engelsk - NLM (National Library of Medicine)

valcyte- valganciclovir tablet, film coated valcyte- valganciclovir hydrochloride powder, for solution

genentech, inc. - valganciclovir hydrochloride (unii: 4p3t9qf9nz) (ganciclovir - unii:p9g3ckz4p5) - valganciclovir 450 mg - treatment of cytomegalovirus (cmv) retinitis: valcyte is indicated for the treatment of cmv retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) [see clinical studies (14.1)] . prevention of cmv disease: valcyte is indicated for the prevention of cmv disease in kidney, heart, and kidney-pancreas transplant patients at high risk (donor cmv seropositive/recipient cmv seronegative [d+/r-]) [see clinical studies (14.1)] . prevention of cmv disease: valcyte is indicated for the prevention of cmv disease in kidney transplant patients (4 months to 16 years of age) and heart transplant patients (1 month to 16 years of age) at high risk [see clinical studies (14.2)] . valcyte is contraindicated in patients who have had a demonstrated clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to valganciclovir, ganciclovir, or any component of the formulation [see adverse reactions (6.1)]. risk summary after oral administration, valganciclovir (prodrug) is converted to ganciclovir (active drug) and, therefore, valcyte is expected to have reproductive toxicity effects similar to ganciclovir. in animal studies, ganciclovir caused maternal and fetal toxicity and embryo-fetal mortality in pregnant mice and rabbits as well as teratogenicity in rabbits at exposures two-times the human exposure. there are no available human data on use of valcyte or ganciclovir in pregnant women to establish the presence or absence of drug-associated risk. the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. however, the background risk in the u.s. general population of major birth defects is 2–4% and the risk of miscarriage is 15–20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus [see warnings and precautions (5.3), use in specific populations (8.3)]. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk most maternal cmv infections are asymptomatic or they may be associated with a self-limited mononucleosis-like syndrome. however, in immunocompromised patients (i.e., transplant patients or patients with aids) cmv infections may be symptomatic and may result in significant maternal morbidity and mortality. the transmission of cmv to the fetus is a result of maternal viremia and transplacental infection. perinatal infection can also occur from exposure of the neonate to cmv shedding in the genital tract. approximately 10% of children with congenital cmv infection are symptomatic at birth. mortality in these infants is about 10% and approximately 50–90% of symptomatic surviving newborns experience significant morbidity, including mental retardation, sensorineural hearing loss, microcephaly, seizures, and other medical problems. the risk of congenital cmv infection resulting from primary maternal cmv infection may be higher and of greater severity than that resulting from maternal reactivation of cmv infection. data animal data doses resulting in two-times the human exposure of ganciclovir (based on the human auc following a single intravenous infusion of 5 mg per kg of ganciclovir) resulted in maternal and embryo-fetal toxicity in pregnant mice and rabbits as well as teratogenicity in the rabbits. fetal resorptions were present in at least 85% of rabbits and mice. rabbits showed increased embryo-fetal mortality, growth retardation of the fetuses and structural abnormalities of multiple organs of the fetuses including the palate (cleft palate), eyes (anophthalmia/microphthalmia), brain (hydrocephalus), jaw (brachygnathia), kidneys and pancreas (aplastic organs). increased embryo-fetal mortality was also seen in mice. daily intravenous doses of approximately 1.7 times the human exposure (based on auc) administered to female mice prior to mating, during gestation, and during lactation caused hypoplasia of the testes and seminal vesicles in the male offspring, as well as pathologic changes in the nonglandular region of the stomach. data from an ex-vivo human placental model showed that ganciclovir crosses the human placenta. the transfer occurred by passive diffusion and was not saturable over a concentration range of 1 to 10 mg/ml. risk summary no data are available regarding the presence of valganciclovir (prodrug) or ganciclovir (active drug) in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. animal data indicate that ganciclovir is excreted in the milk of lactating rats. the centers for disease control and prevention recommend that hiv-infected mothers not breastfeed their infants to avoid risking postnatal transmission of hiv. advise nursing mothers that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with valcyte because of the potential for serious adverse events in nursing infants and because of the potential for transmission of hiv [see boxed warning, warnings and precautions (5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . pregnancy testing females of reproductive potential should undergo pregnancy testing before initiation of valcyte [see use in specific populations (8.1)] . contraception females because of the mutagenic and teratogenic potential of valcyte, females of reproductive potential should be advised to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 30 days following treatment with valcyte [see dosage and administration (2.6), warnings and precautions (5.4, 5.5), nonclinical toxicology (13.1)] . males because of its mutagenic potential, males should be advised to use condoms during and for at least 90 days following, treatment with valcyte [see dosage and administration (2.6), warnings and precautions (5.3, 5.5), nonclinical toxicology (13.1)]. infertility valcyte at the recommended doses may cause temporary or permanent female and male infertility [see warnings and precautions (5.3), nonclinical toxicology (13.1)]. data human data in a small, open-label, non-randomized clinical study, adult male renal transplant patients receiving valcyte for cmv prophylaxis for up to 200 days post-transplantation were compared to an untreated control group. patients were followed-up for six months after valcyte discontinuation. among 24 evaluable patients in the valcyte group, the mean sperm density at the end of treatment visit decreased by 11 million/ml from baseline; whereas, among 14 evaluable patients in the control group the mean sperm density increased by 33 million/ml. however, at the follow-up visit among 20 evaluable patients in the valcyte group the mean sperm density was comparable to that observed among 10 evaluable patients in the untreated control group (the mean sperm density at the end of follow-up visit increased by 41 million/ml from baseline in the valcyte group and by 43 million/ml in the untreated group). valcyte for oral solution and tablets are indicated for the prevention of cmv disease in pediatric kidney transplant patients 4 months to 16 years of age and in pediatric heart transplant patients 1 month to 16 years of age at risk for developing cmv disease [see indications and usage (1.2), dosage and administration (2.3)]. the use of valcyte for oral solution and tablets for the prevention of cmv disease in pediatric kidney transplant patients 4 months to 16 years of age is based on two single-arm, open-label, non-comparative studies in patients 4 months to 16 years of age. study 1 was a safety and pharmacokinetic study in pediatric solid organ transplant patients (kidney, liver, heart, and kidney/pancreas). valcyte was administered once daily within 10 days of transplantation for a maximum of 100 days post-transplantation. study 2 was a safety and tolerability study where valcyte was administered once daily within 10 days of transplantation for a maximum of 200 days post-transplantation in pediatric kidney transplant patients. the results of these studies were supported by previous demonstration of efficacy in adult patients [see adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.2)]. the use of valcyte for oral solution and tablets for the prevention of cmv disease in pediatric heart transplant patients 1 month to 16 years of age is based on two studies (study 1 described above and study 3) and was supported by previous demonstration of efficacy in adult patients [see clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.2)] . study 3 was a pharmacokinetic and safety study of valcyte in pediatric heart transplant patients less than 4 months of age who received a single dose of valcyte oral solution on each of two consecutive days. a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (pbpk) model was developed based on the available pharmacokinetic data from pediatric and adult patients to support dosing in heart transplant patients less than 1 month of age. however, due to uncertainty in model predictions for neonates, valcyte is not indicated for prophylaxis in this age group. the safety and efficacy of valcyte for oral solution and tablets have not been established in children for prevention of cmv disease in pediatric liver transplant patients, in kidney transplant patients less than 4 months of age, in heart transplant patients less than 1 month of age, in pediatric aids patients with cmv retinitis, and in infants with congenital cmv infection. a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation of valcyte for oral solution was performed in 24 neonates with congenital cmv infection involving the central nervous system. all patients were treated for 6 weeks with a combination of intravenous ganciclovir 6 mg per kg twice daily or valcyte for oral solution at doses ranging from 14 mg per kg to 20 mg per kg twice daily. the pharmacokinetic results showed that in infants greater than 7 days to 3 months of age, a dose of 16 mg per kg twice daily of valcyte for oral solution provided ganciclovir systemic exposures (median auc0-12h =23.6 [range 16.8–35.5] mcg∙ h/ml; n=6) comparable to those obtained in infants up to 3 months of age from a 6 mg per kg dose of intravenous ganciclovir twice daily (auc0-12h =25.3 [range 2.4–89.7] mcg∙ h/ml; n=18) or to the ganciclovir systemic exposures obtained in adults from a 900 mg dose of valcyte tablets twice daily. however, the efficacy and safety of intravenous ganciclovir and of valcyte have not been established for the treatment of congenital cmv infection in infants and no similar disease occurs in adults; therefore, efficacy cannot be extrapolated from intravenous ganciclovir use in adults. studies of valcyte for oral solution or tablets have not been conducted in adults older than 65 years of age. clinical studies of valcyte did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. valcyte is known to be substantially excreted by the kidneys, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because renal clearance decreases with age, valcyte should be administered with consideration of their renal status. renal function should be monitored and dosage adjustments should be made accordingly [see dosage and administration (2.5), warnings and precautions (5.2), use in specific populations (8.6), clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. dose reduction is recommended when administering valcyte to patients with renal impairment [see dosage and administration (2.5), warnings and precautions (5.2), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . for adult patients on hemodialysis (crcl less than 10 ml/min), valcyte tablets should not be used. adult hemodialysis patients should use ganciclovir in accordance with the dose-reduction algorithm cited in the cytovene® -iv complete product information section on dosage and administration: renal impairment [see dosage and administration (2.5) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)]. the safety and efficacy of valcyte have not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment. be sure that you read, and that you understand and follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper dosing of the oral solution. important: - avoid contact with your skin or eyes. if you come in contact with the contents of the oral solution, wash your skin well with soap and water or rinse your eyes well with plain water. - do not use valcyte for oral solution after the discard date on the bottle. - always use the oral dispenser provided to give or take a dose of valcyte for oral solution. - call your pharmacist if your oral dispenser is lost or damaged, and they will tell you how to continue to give or take a dose of valcyte for oral solution. - ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist to show you how to measure your prescribed dose. to take a dose of valcyte for oral solution, you will need the bottle of medicine and an oral dispenser provided with the medicine (see figure 1) . your pharmacist inserts the bottle adapter in the valcyte for oral solution bottle. - place the tip of the oral dispenser in the mouth. - slowly push down the oral dispenser plunger until the oral dispenser is empty. - remove the plunger from the oral dispenser barrel by pulling the plunger all the way out of the barrel. - rinse the oral dispenser barrel and plunger with water and let them air dry. - when the oral dispenser barrel and plunger are dry, put the plunger back into the oral dispenser barrel for the next use. how should i store valcyte for oral solution? - store solution in the refrigerator at 36°f to 46°f (2°c to 8°c) for no longer than 49 days. - do not freeze. this patient information and instructions for use have been approved by the

take the cap off the vial(s). - clean the top of the vial(s) stopper with an alcohol wipe. - dispose of (throw away) the vial cap(s) into the sharps disposal container. - push and twist the transfer needle with filter clockwise on to the syringe until it is fully attached. - slowly pull back on the plunger and draw air into the syringe that is the same amount for your prescribed dose. - hold the syringe by the barrel with the transfer needle pointing up. - carefully pull the transfer needle cap straight off and away from your body. do not throw the cap away. place the transfer needle cap down on a clean flat surface. you will need to recap the transfer needle after transferring the medicine. - do not touch the needle tip or place it on a surface after the needle cap has been removed. - keep the vial on the flat working surface and insert the transfer needle and syringe straight down into the center of the vial stopper. - keep the needle in the vial and turn the vial upside down. - with the needle pointing upwards, push on the plunger to inject the air from the syringe above the medicine. - keep your finger pressed down on the syringe plunger. - do not inject air into the medicine as this could create air bubbles or foam in the medicine. - slide the tip of the needle down so that it is within the medicine. - slowly pull back the plunger to prevent air bubbles/foam. fill the syringe with more than the amount of hemlibra needed for your prescribed dose. - be careful not to pull the plunger out of the syringe. - keep the needle in the vial and check the syringe for larger air bubbles. too large an air bubble can reduce the dose you receive. - remove the larger air bubbles by gently tapping the syringe barrel with your fingers until the air bubbles rise to the top of the syringe. move the tip of the needle above the medicine and slowly push the plunger up to push the air bubbles out of the syringe. - if the amount of hemlibra in the syringe is now at or below your prescribed dose, move the tip of the needle to within the medicine and slowly pull back the plunger until you have more than the amount of hemlibra needed for your prescribed dose. - be careful not to pull the plunger out of the syringe. - repeat the steps above until you have removed the larger air bubbles. do not use the transfer needle to inject hemlibra as this may cause harm such as pain and bleeding. 2. injection - remove the syringe and transfer needle from the vial. - using one hand, slide the transfer needle into the cap and scoop upwards to cover the needle. - once the needle is covered, push the transfer needle cap towards the syringe to fully attach it with one hand to prevent accidentally sticking yourself with the needle. - select and clean your injection site with an alcohol wipe. - let the skin dry for about 10 seconds. do not touch, fan, or blow on the cleaned area before your injection. - remove the transfer needle from the syringe by twisting counter-clockwise and gently pulling. - dispose of (throw away) the used transfer needle into a sharps disposal container. - push and twist the injection needle clockwise on to the syringe until it is fully attached. - move the safety shield away from the needle and towards the syringe barrel. - carefully pull the injection needle cap away from the syringe. - dispose of (throw away) the cap into a sharps disposal container. - do not touch the needle tip or allow it to touch any surface. - after the injection needle cap has been removed, hemlibra in the syringe must be injected right away. - slowly push the plunger to your prescribed dose. - ensure the top rim of the plunger is in line with the mark on the syringe for your prescribed dose. - pinch the selected injection site and fully insert the needle at a 45° to 90° angle with a quick, firm action. do not hold or push on the plunger while inserting the needle. - hold the position of the syringe and let go of the pinched injection site. - slowly inject all of hemlibra by gently pushing the plunger all the way down. - remove the needle and syringe from the injection site at the same angle as inserted. 3. disposal - move the safety shield forward 90°, away from the syringe barrel. - holding the syringe with one hand, press the safety shield down against a flat surface with a firm, quick motion until you hear a "click". - if you do not hear a click, look to see that the needle is fully covered by the safety shield. - keep your fingers behind the safety shield and away from the needle at all times. - do not remove the injection needle from the syringe. - put your used needles and syringes in a fda-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use. for further information, refer to the section "disposing of used hemlibra vial(s), needles, and syringes" above. - do not try to remove the used injection needle from the used syringe. - do not recap the injection needle with the cap. - important: always keep the sharps disposal container out of reach of children. - dispose of (throw away) any used vial(s), needles, vial and injection needle caps, and used syringes in a sharps disposal container. if you need to use more than one vial to get to your total prescribed dose, follow these steps after you have drawn up hemlibra from the first vial: - remove the syringe and transfer needle from the first vial. - using one hand , slide the transfer needle into the cap and scoop upwards to cover the needle. - once the needle is covered, push the transfer needle cap toward the syringe to fully attach it with one hand to prevent accidentally sticking yourself with the needle. - remove the transfer needle from the syringe by twisting counter- clockwise and gently pulling. - dispose of (throw away) the used transfer needle into a sharps disposal container. - push and twist a new transfer needle clockwise on to the syringe until it is fully attached. - slowly pull back the plunger and draw some air into the syringe. - hold the syringe by the barrel with the transfer needle cap pointing up. - carefully pull the transfer needle cap straight off and away from your body. do not throw the cap away. you will need to recap the transfer needle after drawing up the medicine. - do not touch the needle tip. - with the new vial on the flat working surface, insert the new transfer needle and syringe, straight down into the center of the vial stopper. - keep the transfer needle in the vial and turn the vial upside down. -

pulmozyme- dornase alfa solution

genentech, inc. - dornase alfa (unii: 953a26oa1y) (dornase alfa - unii:953a26oa1y) - dornase alfa 1 mg in 1 ml - pulmozyme® is indicated, in conjunction with standard therapies, for the management of pediatric and adult patients with cystic fibrosis (cf) to improve pulmonary function. in cf patients with an fvc ≥ 40% of predicted, daily administration of pulmozyme has also been shown to reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections requiring parenteral antibiotics. pulmozyme is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to dornase alfa, chinese hamster ovary cell products, or any component of the product. risk summary there are no adequate and well-controlled studies with pulmozyme in pregnant women. however, animal reproduction studies have been conducted with dornase alfa. in these studies, no evidence of fetal harm was observed in rats and rabbits at doses of dornase alfa up to approximately 600 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd). the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the cystic fibrosis population is unknown. however, the background risk in the u.s. general population of major birth defects is 2-4% and of miscarriage is 15-20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. data animal data reproductive studies have been performed in rats and rabbits at intravenous doses of dornase alfa up to 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 600 times the mrhd in adults). in a combined embryo-fetal development and pre- and post-natal development study, no evidence of maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity, or teratogenicity was observed when dornase alfa was administered to dams throughout organogenesis (gestation days 6 to 17). dornase alfa did not elicit adverse effects on fetal or neonatal growth when administered to dams throughout most of gestation and delivery (gestation days 6 to 25) and nursing (post-partum days 6 to 21). a pharmacokinetic study in cynomolgus monkeys found no detectable levels of dornase alfa in fetal blood or amniotic fluid on gestation day 150 (end of gestation) from mothers that were administered an intravenous bolus dose (0.1 mg/kg) followed by an intravenous infusion dose (0.080 mg/kg) over a 6-hour period during pregnancy. risk summary it is not known whether pulmozyme is present in human milk. in a pharmacokinetic study in cynomolgus monkeys, levels of dornase alfa detected in milk were less than 0.1% of the maternal serum concentration at 24 hours after dosing [intravenous bolus dose (0.1 mg/kg) of dornase alfa followed by an intravenous infusion (0.080 mg/kg/hr) over a 6-hour period] on post-partum day 14. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for pulmozyme and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from pulmozyme or from the underlying maternal condition. the safety and effectiveness of pulmozyme in conjunction with standard therapies for cystic fibrosis have been established in pediatric patients. use of pulmozyme in pediatric patients is supported by evidence in the following age groups: - patients 5 to 17 years of age: use of pulmozyme in patients 5 to 17 years of age is supported by evidence from a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 303 of clinically stable cystic fibrosis patients 5 to 17 years of age who received pulmozyme [see clinical studies (14)]. - patients less than 5 years : use of pulmozyme in patients less than 5 years of age is supported by extrapolation of efficacy data in patients 5 years of age and older with additional safety data in 65 pediatric patients aged 3 months to less than 5 years who received pulmozyme 2.5 mg daily by inhalation for 2 weeks [see adverse reactions (6.1) and clinical studies (14)] . cystic fibrosis is primarily a disease of children and young adults. clinical studies of pulmozyme did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 or older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. pulmozyme® (pull-muh-zyme) (dornase alfa) inhalation solution this instructions for use contains information on how to use pulmozyme with jet nebulizers and compressors see the other side of this instructions for use for information on use of pulmozyme with the recommended vibrating mesh nebulizers read and understand this instructions for use and the nebulizer manufacturer's instruction manual before you start taking pulmozyme and each time you get a refill. there may be new information. this information does not take the place of talking to your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. a nebulizer and a compressor are used together to give a dose of pulmozyme. a nebulizer changes the pulmozyme liquid medicine into a fine mist you inhale by breathing through a mouthpiece. a compressor gives the nebulizer power and makes the nebulizer work. pulmozyme should only be used with the approved nebulizers and appropriate compressors as recommended below, or with the recommended vibrating mesh nebulizers (see other side of this instructions for use). read and follow the manufacturer's instruction manual. do not use any other inhaled medicines in the nebulizer at the same time. keep all other inhaled medicine systems completely separate from pulmozyme. use the mouthpiece or face mask provided with the nebulizer kit. if your child cannot breathe in or breathe out by mouth, you may use the pari baby reusable nebulizer, but you should discuss it with your doctor first. the pari baby nebulizer is the same as the pari lc plus jet system, except the mouthpiece is replaced by a tight-fitting face mask connected to an elbow piece. follow the steps on this side of the instructions for use to give pulmozyme using the following jet nebulizer systems - approximate air flow of 3.5 l/min to 12 l/min at approximately 20 psi to 45 psi pressure for additional information on an appropriate compressor to use with pulmozyme, read the manufacturer's instruction manual for the recommended nebulizer. important information you need to know before using pulmozyme read and follow the nebulizer manufacturer's instruction manual for correct use and maintenance: - to clean the nebulizer before first use and after each use as recommended. - to disinfect the nebulizer parts by using the disinfecting method recommended. - to replace nebulizer parts as recommended. supplies you will need to give a dose of pulmozyme (see figure a): - 1 pulmozyme ampule - compressor - nebulizer cup and cap (screw-on or snap-on) - plastic t (not needed for sidestream nebulizer or pari baby) - flexible aerosol tube (not needed for sidestream nebulizer or pari baby) - mouthpiece (clean) or pari baby facemask - long connecting tube - nose clip (optional, not needed for pari baby) - clean a flat table surface. - wash your hands well with soap and water before using the pulmozyme ampule and nebulizer. this helps prevent infection (see figure b) . - place the nebulizer parts on a clean, flat table surface within reach. - test the compressor by turning it on and putting your finger in front of the "air out" or "air" port to feel air flowing. turn off the compressor (see figure c) . - remove 1 foil pouch of pulmozyme from the refrigerator. open the foil pouch and remove 1 ampule of pulmozyme. put the remaining ampules back in the foil pouch and return them to the refrigerator. - check the expiration (exp.) date printed on the ampule (see figure d) . - do not use the pulmozyme ampule if the expiration date has passed. - check the ampule for leaks by turning it upside down and gently squeezing (see figure e) . do not use the ampule if it is leaking. throw it away and get a new one. - check the pulmozyme liquid in the ampule and make sure it is clear and free of particles. - do not use pulmozyme if the liquid is cloudy or discolored. take the pulmozyme back to the pharmacy, hospital, or clinic that gave you the medicine. - attach the long connecting tube to the "air out" or "air" port on the compressor (see figure f) . - skip to step 7 if you use the sidestream nebulizer or the pari baby nebulizer. - push the mouthpiece into the wider end of the plastic t. attach the flexible aerosol tube to the other end of the t (see figure g) . - unscrew or unsnap the cap from the nebulizer cup (see figure h) . - put the nebulizer cup on the table face up and place the cap upside down on a clean surface (see figure i) . - hold the tab at the bottom of the pulmozyme ampule firmly. twist off the top. do not squeeze the body of the ampule (see figure j) . - turn the ampule upside down and squeeze gently to empty the medicine into the nebulizer cup. keep squeezing until the ampule is empty. it is very important you squeeze all of the medicine out of the ampule (see figure k) . - screw or snap the cap onto the nebulizer cup (see figure l) . - connect the plastic t to the nebulizer cap (see figure m) . - if you are using the sidestream nebulizer, attach the mouthpiece to the top of the nebulizer (see figure n). - if you are using the pari baby nebulizer, connect the elbow piece and mask to the nebulizer outlet (see figure o). - connect the open end of the long connecting tube to the port on the bottom of the nebulizer cup by pushing up firmly (see figure p) . - turn on the compressor and check to see that mist is coming out of the nebulizer (see figure q) . - skip to step 14 if you are using the pari baby to give pulmozyme to your child. - place the mouthpiece between your teeth and on top of your tongue (see figure r) . - breathe slowly in and out through your mouth. do not block the airflow with your tongue. - do not breathe through your nose. if you have problems breathing only through your mouth, use a nose clip (see figure s) . - do not be concerned if liquid droplets form in the long connecting tube during treatment. when the nebulizer begins spitting, gently tap the nebulizer cup and continue breathing until the nebulizer cup is empty or stops making mist (see figure t) . - if you need to stop treatment before you are finished, or you begin coughing, turn off the compressor and do not spill any of the medicine. - to start treatment again, turn on the compressor and continue breathing slowly in and out through your mouth. - the complete treatment usually takes from 10 to 15 minutes for most nebulizers. - if you are using the sidestream nebulizer, treatment usually takes from 2 to 6 minutes. - it is important to inhale the full dose of pulmozyme. if you find a leak or feel any moisture coming from the nebulizer during treatment, turn off the compressor and check to make sure the nebulizer cap is sealed correctly before continuing (see figure u) . - during the treatment your child may sit, lie down or stand. - place the facemask gently but firmly over your child's nose and mouth (see figure v) . - make sure there are no air gaps between the mask and your child's face. this will help make sure that your child will get the full dose of pulmozyme. - it is important that you try to keep the body of the nebulizer upright during the entire treatment (see figure v) . the elbow piece will allow you to move the mask for a good fit while keeping the nebulizer body upright. - when the nebulizer begins "spitting," gently tap the nebulizer cup and continue treatment until the nebulizer is empty or stops making a mist (see figure w) . - if you need to stop the treatment or your child begins to cough during treatment, turn the compressor off. do not spill any pulmozyme. - if you have not removed the mask and you want to begin the treatment again, turn on the compressor. - if you have removed the mask, repeat the steps above to replace the mask on your child's face and restart the compressor. - the complete treatment usually takes from 10 to 15 minutes. - turn off the compressor and take apart the nebulizer system. set aside the flexible aerosol tube and the long connecting tube. note: the sidestream nebulizer does not use a flexible aerosol tube. -
