Ultomiris

Description for Ultomiris

Ravulizumab-cwvz, a complement inhibitor, is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Ravulizumab-cwvz consists of 2 identical 448 amino acid heavy chains and 2 identical 214 amino acid light chains and has a molecular weight of approximately 148 kDa. The constant regions of ravulizumabcwvz include the human kappa light chain constant region, and the protein engineered “IgG2/4” heavy chain constant region.

The heavy chain CH1 domain, hinge region, and the first 5 amino acids of the CH2 domain match the human IgG2 amino acid sequence, residues 6 to 36 in the CH2 region (common to both human IgG2 and IgG4 amino acid sequences), while the remainder of the CH2 domain and the CH3 domain match the human IgG4 amino acid sequence. The heavy and light chain variable regions that form the human C5 binding site consist of human framework regions grafted to murine complementarity-determining regions.

ULTOMIRIS (ravulizumab-cwvz) injection is a sterile, clear to translucent, slight whitish color, preservative-free solution for intravenous use. Each single-dose vial contains 300 mg ravulizumab-cwvz at a concentration of 10 mg/mL with a pH of 7.0. Each mL also contains polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg) (vegetable origin), sodium chloride (8.77 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic (1.78 mg), sodium phosphate monobasic (0.46 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.

Dosage for Ultomiris

Important Dosage Information

ULTOMIRIS may be administered as an intravenous infusion (ULTOMIRIS vial for intravenous administration) in adult or pediatric patients one month of age and older or as a subcutaneous injection for maintenance (ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system for subcutaneous administration) in adult patients.

Vials are intended for intravenous use only, and on-body delivery systems (prefilled cartridge and on-body injector) are intended for subcutaneous maintenance use only.

Recommended Vaccination And Prophylaxis For Meningococcal Infection

Vaccinate patients against meningococcal infection (serogroups A, C, W, Y and B) according to current ACIP recommendations at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of ULTOMIRIS [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

If urgent ULTOMIRIS therapy is indicated in a patient who is not up to date with meningococcal vaccines according to ACIP recommendations, provide the patient with antibacterial drug prophylaxis and administer these vaccines as soon as possible.

Healthcare providers who prescribe ULTOMIRIS must enroll in the ULTOMIRIS REMS [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Recommended Dosage For Intravenous Administration In Adult And Pediatric Patients With PNH, aHUS, Or gMG

The recommended intravenous ULTOMIRIS loading and maintenance dosing in adult and pediatric patients, one month of age or older weighing 5 kg or greater, with PNH or aHUS, or in adult patients with gMG weighing 40 kg or greater, is based on the patient’s body weight, as shown in Table 1, with maintenance doses administered every 4 or 8 weeks, starting 2 weeks after loading dose.

The intravenous (IV) dosing schedule is allowed to occasionally vary within 7 days of the scheduled infusion day (except for the first maintenance dose of ULTOMIRIS); but subsequent doses should be administered according to the original schedule.

Following a missed intravenous ULTOMIRIS dose, the patient should contact their health care provider immediately.

Preparation And Administration

Preparation Of ULTOMIRIS Vials For Intravenous Administration

Each vial of ULTOMIRIS is intended for single-dose only. ULTOMIRIS vials are for intravenous administration by a healthcare provider and are intended for intravenous administration only.

Dilute before use.

Do not mix ULTOMIRIS 100 mg/mL (3 mL and 11 mL vials) and 10 mg/mL (30 mL vial) concentrations together.

Use aseptic technique to prepare ULTOMIRIS as follows:

The product should be mixed gently. Do not shake. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

Refer to the following reference tables for IV preparation and minimum infusion duration:

ULTOMIRIS 100 mg/mL (3 mL and 11 mL vials): see Table 5 (loading doses), Table 6 (maintenance doses), and Table 7 (supplemental doses)

ULTOMIRIS 10 mg/mL (30 mL vial): see Table 8 (loading doses), Table 9 (maintenance doses), and Table 10 (supplemental doses)

1. The number of vials to be diluted is determined based on the individual patient’s weight and the prescribed dose [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
2. Prior to dilution, visually inspect the solution in the vials; the solution should be free of any particulate matter or precipitation. Do not use if there is evidence of particulate matter or precipitation.
3. Withdraw the calculated volume of ULTOMIRIS from the appropriate number of vials and dilute in an infusion bag using 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to a final concentration of:
   • 50 mg/mL for the 3 mL and 11 mL vial sizes or
   • 5 mg/mL for the 30 mL vial size.
4. Administer the prepared solution immediately following preparation.
5. If the diluted ULTOMIRIS infusion solution is not used immediately, storage under refrigeration at 2°C -8°C (36°F -46°F) must not exceed 24 hours taking into account the expected infusion time. Once removed from refrigeration, administer the diluted ULTOMIRIS infusion solution within 6 hours if prepared with ULTOMIRIS 30 mL vials or within 4 hours if prepared with ULTOMIRIS 3 mL or 11 mL vials.

Intravenous Administration Of ULTOMIRIS (Healthcare Providers)

Only administer as an intravenous infusion through a 0.2 or 0.22 micron filter.

Dilute ULTOMIRIS to a final concentration of:

• 50 mg/mL for the 3 mL and 11 mL vial sizes or
• 5 mg/mL for the 30 mL vial size.

Prior to administration, allow the admixture to adjust to room temperature (18°C -25°C, 64°F -77°F). Do not heat the admixture in a microwave or with any heat source other than ambient air temperature.

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

Preparation Of ULTOMIRIS On-Body Delivery System For Subcutaneous Administration

ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system is intended for administration by patients/caregivers. Patients/caregivers may administer after training from a healthcare provider. Refer to the Instructions for Use for detailed instructions on how to use and administer subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS.

Remove 2 cartons of ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system for subcutaneous administration from the refrigerator. Two on-body injectors and 2 prefilled cartridges are required for a full dose (490 mg).

Inspect the packaging. The on-body injectors or cartridges should not be used if they have been dropped or appear to be broken or damaged.

Wait at least 45 minutes for the on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges in the cartons to naturally reach room temperature prior to administration. Do not return to the refrigerator. Discard after 3 days if unused.

Before administration, visually inspect the solution. The solution should not be injected if it contains flakes or particles, or is cloudy or discolored.

Subcutaneous Administration Of ULTOMIRIS On-Body Delivery System

ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system is for subcutaneous administration into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm region. A patient may self-administer, or the patient caregiver may administer ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system after the healthcare provider determines it is appropriate. Injection sites should be rotated, and injections should not be given into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Avoid injecting into areas with scars or stretch marks. The 2 on-body delivery systems can be administered concurrently or sequentially. Each injection is delivered over approximately 10 minutes.

Load the first clean cartridge into the first on-body injector and secure in place before closing the cartridge door on the injector. Do not insert the cartridge more than 5 minutes before the injection to avoid drying out the solution.

Peel away the adhesive backing of the first on-body injector and apply onto the clean, dry, chosen injection site (thigh, abdomen, or upper arm).

Start the injection by firmly pressing and releasing the blue start button.

Do not remove until the injection is complete (signaled by the solid green status light, 3 beeping sounds, and the white plunger filling the medicine window).

Repeat steps 1-4 for the second on-body injector.

If an allergic reaction occurs during the subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS, treatment should be stopped, the on-body injector(s) should be removed, and the patient should seek medical attention prior to further administration.

The patient should monitor for signs or symptoms of infusion-related reaction for at least 1 hour following completion of the injection.

Any unused medicinal product and waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.

Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS)

The data described below reflect exposure of 58 adult and 16 pediatric patients with aHUS in single-arm trials who received ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously at the recommended dose and schedule. The most frequent adverse reactions reported in ≥ 20% of patients treated with ULTOMIRIS were upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, hypertension, and pyrexia. Table 14, Table 15 and Table 16 describe adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 10% or more among patients treated with ULTOMIRIS in aHUS studies. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 42 (57%) patients with aHUS receiving ULTOMIRIS. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in more than 2 patients (2.7%) treated with ULTOMIRIS were hypertension, pneumonia, and abdominal pain. Four patients died during the ALXN1210-aHUS-311 study. The cause of death was sepsis in 2 patients and intracranial hemorrhage in 1 patient. The fourth patient, who was excluded from the trial after a diagnosis of STEC­HUS, died due to pretreatment cerebral arterial thrombosis.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG)

Adult Population With gMG Treated With Intravenous ULTOMIRIS

The safety of ULTOMIRIS has been evaluated in 175 adult patients with gMG, including 169 patients who received at least one dose of intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS, 142 patients who were exposed for at least 6 months, and 95 who were exposed for at least 12 months [see Clinical Studies]. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ALXN1210-MG-306), the most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 10%) with ULTOMIRIS were diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infection. Table 17 describes adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 5% or more and at greater frequency than placebo. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 20 (23%) patients with gMG receiving ULTOMIRIS and in 14 (16%) patients receiving placebo. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were infections reported in at least 8 (9%) patients treated with ULTOMIRIS and in 4 (4%) patients treated with placebo [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. Of these infections, one fatal case of COVID-19 pneumonia was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS and one case of infection led to discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS.

Immunogenicity

As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibodies) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other ravulizumab-cwvz products may be misleading.

The immunogenicity of ravulizumab-cwvz has been evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of binding anti-ravulizumab-cwvz antibodies. For patients whose sera tested positive in the screening immunoassay, an in vitro biological assay was performed to detect neutralizing antibodies.

In clinical studies with intravenous administration of ULTOMIRIS, treatment-emergent antibodies to ravulizumab-cwvz were detected in 1 of 219 (0.5%) patients with PNH and 1 of 71 (1.4%) patients with aHUS. In these 2 patient populations, no apparent correlation of antibody development to altered pharmacokinetic profile, clinical response, or adverse events was observed. No treatment-emergent antibodies to ravulizumab-cwvz were detected in patients with gMG treated with ULTOMIRIS.

In patients receiving subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS (N = 128), no treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies were observed.

However, the assay used to measure anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is subject to interference by serum ravulizumab-cwvz, possibly resulting in an underestimation of the incidence of antibody formation. Due to the limitation of the assay conditions, the potential clinical impact of antibodies to ravulizumab-cwvz is not known.

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of ULTOMIRIS. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to ULTOMIRIS exposure.

Serious Adverse Reaction: Anaphylaxis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]

Drug Interactions for Ultomiris

Plasma Exchange, Plasmapheresis, and Intravenous Immunoglobulins

Concomitant use of ULTOMIRIS with plasma exchange (PE), plasmapheresis (PP), or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment can reduce serum ravulizumab concentrations and requires a supplemental dose of ULTOMIRIS [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Neonatal Fc Receptor Blockers

Concomitant use of ULTOMIRIS with neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blockers (e.g., efgartigimod) may lower systemic exposures and reduce effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS. Closely monitor for reduced effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS.

Warnings for Ultomiris

Included as part of the PRECAUTIONS section.

Precautions for Ultomiris

Serious Meningococcal Infections

ULTOMIRIS, a complement inhibitor, increases a patient's susceptibility to serious, life-threatening, or fatal infections caused by meningococcal bacteria (septicemia and/or meningitis) in any serogroup, including non-groupable strains. Life-threatening and fatal meningococcal infections have occurred in both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients treated with complement inhibitors. The initiation of ULTOMIRIS treatment is contraindicated in patients with unresolved serious Neisseria meningitidis infection.

Complete or update meningococcal vaccination (for serogroups A, C, W, Y and B) at least 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of ULTOMIRIS, according to current ACIP recommendations for patients receiving a complement inhibitor. Revaccinate patients in accordance with ACIP recommendations considering the duration of ULTOMIRIS therapy. Note that ACIP recommends an administration schedule in patients receiving complement inhibitors that differs from the administration schedule in the vaccine prescribing information. If urgent ULTOMIRIS therapy is indicated in a patient who is not up to date with meningococcal vaccines according to ACIP recommendations, provide the patient with antibacterial drug prophylaxis and administer meningococcal vaccines as soon as possible. Various durations and regimens of antibacterial drug prophylaxis have been considered, but the optimal durations and drug regimens for prophylaxis and their efficacy have not been studied in unvaccinated or vaccinated patients receiving complement inhibitors, including ULTOMIRIS. The benefits and risks of treatment with ULTOMIRIS, as well as the benefits and risks of antibacterial drug prophylaxis in unvaccinated or vaccinated patients, must be considered against the known risks for serious infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis.

Vaccination does not eliminate the risk of meningococcal infections, despite development of antibodies following vaccination.

Closely monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of meningococcal infection and evaluate patients immediately if infection is suspected. Inform patients of these signs and symptoms and instruct patients to seek immediate medical care if these signs and symptoms occur. Promptly treat known infections. Meningococcal infection may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early. Consider interruption of ULTOMIRIS in patients who are undergoing treatment for serious meningococcal infection, depending on the risks of interrupting treatment in the disease being treated.

ULTOMIRIS is available only through a restricted program under a REMS [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

ULTOMIRIS REMS

ULTOMIRIS is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called ULTOMIRIS REMS, because of the risk of serious meningococcal infections [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Notable requirements of the ULTOMIRIS REMS include the following:

• Prescribers must enroll in the REMS.
• Prescribers must counsel patients about the risk of meningococcal infection.
• Prescribers must provide the patients with the REMS educational materials.
• Prescribers must assess patient vaccination status for meningococcal vaccines (against serogroups A, C, W, Y, and B) and vaccinate if needed according to current ACIP recommendations two weeks prior to the first dose of ULTOMIRIS.
• Prescribers must provide a prescription for antibacterial drug prophylaxis if treatment must be started urgently and the patient is not up to date with meningococcal vaccines according to current ACIP recommendations at least two weeks prior to the first dose of ULTOMIRIS.
• Patients must receive counseling from the prescriber about the need to receive meningococcal vaccines per ACIP recommendations, the need to take antibiotics as directed by the prescriber, and the signs and symptoms of meningococcal infection.
• Patients must be instructed to carry the Patient Safety Card with them at all times during and for 8 months following treatment with ULTOMIRIS.

Further information is available at www.ultomirisrems.com or 1-888-765-4747.

Other Infections

Serious infections with Neisseria species (other than Neisseria meningitidis), including disseminated gonococcal infections, have been reported.

ULTOMIRIS blocks terminal complement activation; therefore, patients may have increased susceptibility to infections, especially with encapsulated bacteria, such as infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis but also Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and to a lesser extent, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Children treated with ULTOMIRIS may be at increased risk of developing serious infections due to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Administer vaccinations for the prevention of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infections according to ACIP recommendations. Patients receiving ULTOMIRIS are at increased risk for infections due to these organisms, even if they develop antibodies following vaccination.

Monitoring Disease Manifestations After ULTOMIRIS Discontinuation

Treatment Discontinuation For PNH

After discontinuing treatment with ULTOMIRIS, closely monitor for signs and symptoms of hemolysis, identified by elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) along with sudden decrease in PNH clone size or hemoglobin, or reappearance of symptoms such as fatigue, hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, shortness of breath (dyspnea), major adverse vascular event (including thrombosis), dysphagia, or erectile dysfunction. Monitor any patient who discontinues ULTOMIRIS for at least 16 weeks to detect hemolysis and other reactions. If signs and symptoms of hemolysis occur after discontinuation, including elevated LDH, consider restarting treatment with ULTOMIRIS.

Treatment Discontinuation For aHUS

ULTOMIRIS treatment of aHUS should be a minimum duration of 6 months. Due to heterogeneous nature of aHUS events and patient-specific risk factors, treatment duration beyond the initial 6 months should be individualized.

There are no specific data on ULTOMIRIS discontinuation.

After discontinuing treatment with ULTOMIRIS, patients should be monitored for clinical symptoms and laboratory signs of TMA complications for at least 12 months.

TMA complications post-discontinuation can be identified if any of the following is observed:

• Clinical symptoms of TMA include changes in mental status, seizures, angina, dyspnea, thrombosis or increasing blood pressure.
• In addition, at least two of the following laboratory signs observed concurrently and results should be confirmed by a second measurement 28 days apart with no interruption
  • a decrease in platelet count of 25% or more as compared to either baseline or to peak platelet count during ULTOMIRIS treatment;
  • an increase in serum creatinine of 25% or more as compared to baseline or to nadir during ULTOMIRIS treatment;
  • an increase in serum LDH of 25% or more as compared to baseline or to nadir during ULTOMIRIS treatment.

If TMA complications occur after ULTOMIRIS discontinuation, consider reinitiation of ULTOMIRIS treatment or appropriate organ-specific supportive measures.

Thromboembolic Event Management

The effect of withdrawal of anticoagulant therapy during ULTOMIRIS treatment has not been established. Therefore, treatment with ULTOMIRIS should not alter anticoagulant management.

Infusion-Related Reactions

Intravenous or subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS may result in systemic infusion-related reactions, including anaphylaxis [see ADVERSE REACTIONS] and hypersensitivity reactions. In clinical trials, infusion-related reactions occurred in approximately 1% of patients treated with ULTOMIRIS. These events included lower back pain, drop in blood pressure, elevation in blood pressure, limb discomfort, drug hypersensitivity (allergic reaction), dysgeusia (bad taste), and drowsiness. These reactions did not require discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS. If signs of cardiovascular instability or respiratory compromise occur, interrupt ULTOMIRIS infusion and institute appropriate supportive measures.

Allergies To Acrylic Adhesives

The on-body injector of ULTOMIRIS uses acrylic adhesive. For patients with a known allergy to acrylic adhesive, use of this product may result in an allergic reaction. Premedication can be considered, and supportive measures should be instituted if signs of allergy appear.

Patient Counseling Information

Advise the patients and/or caregivers to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide and Instructions for Use).

Serious Meningococcal Infections

Advise patients of the risk of serious meningococcal infection. Inform patients of the need to complete or update their meningococcal vaccinations at least 2 weeks prior to receiving the first dose of ULTOMIRIS or receive antibacterial drug prophylaxis if ULTOMIRIS treatment must be initiated immediately and they have not been previously vaccinated. Inform patients of the requirement to be revaccinated according to current ACIP recommendations for meningococcal infection while on ULTOMIRIS therapy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Inform patients that vaccination may not prevent serious meningococcal infection and to seek immediate medical attention if the following signs or symptoms occur [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]:

• fever
• fever and a rash
• headache with nausea or vomiting
• fever with high heart rate
• headache and a fever
• headache with a stiff neck or stiff back
• confusion
• muscle aches with flu-like symptoms
• eyes sensitive to light

Inform patients that they will be given a Patient Safety Card for ULTOMIRIS that they should carry with them at all times during and for 8 months following treatment with ULTOMIRIS. This card describes symptoms which, if experienced, should prompt the patient to immediately seek medical evaluation.

ULTOMIRIS REMS

ULTOMIRIS is available only through a restricted program called ULTOMIRIS REMS [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Inform the patient of the following notable requirements:

• Patients must receive counseling about the risk of serious meningococcal infections.
• Patients must receive written educational materials about this risk.
• Patients must be instructed to carry the Patient Safety Card with them at all times during and for 8 months following treatment with ULTOMIRIS.
• Patients must be instructed to complete or update meningococcal vaccines for serogroups A, C, W, Y and B per ACIP recommendations as directed by the prescriber prior to treatment with ULTOMIRIS.
• Patients must receive antibiotics as directed by the prescriber if they are not up to date with meningococcal vaccines and have to start ULTOMIRIS right away.

Other Infections

Counsel patients of the increased risk of infections, particularly those due to encapsulated bacteria, especially Neisseria species. Advise patients of the need for vaccination against meningococcal infections according to current medical guidelines. Counsel patients about gonorrhea prevention and advise regular testing for patients at risk. Advise patients to report any new signs and symptoms of infection.

Discontinuation

Inform patients with PNH or aHUS that they may develop serious hemolysis or TMA, respectively, when ULTOMIRIS is discontinued and that they will be monitored by their healthcare professional for at least 16 weeks for PNH or at least 12 months for aHUS following ULTOMIRIS discontinuation.

Inform patients who discontinue ULTOMIRIS to keep the ULTOMIRIS Patient Safety Card with them for 8 months after the last ULTOMIRIS dose, because the increased risk of meningococcal infection persists for several months following discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS.

Infusion-Related Reactions

Advise patients that administration of ULTOMIRIS may result in infusion-related reactions.

Allergies to Acrylic Adhesives

Advise patients that the single-use on-body injector used in subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS contains acrylic adhesive that may cause allergic reactions to individuals sensitive to acrylic adhesives.

Administration

Provide training to patients and caregivers on proper subcutaneous administration technique and how to use the single-use on-body injector with prefilled cartridge correctly.

Inform patients that 2 on-body delivery systems (on-body injector with prefilled ­cartridge) are required for a full dose.

Additionally, inform patients that it will take about 10 minutes to administer each ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system for subcutaneous administration.

The single-use on-body injector with prefilled cartridge is not made with natural rubber latex.

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility

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

Genotoxicity studies have not been conducted with ravulizumab-cwvz.

Effects of ravulizumab-cwvz upon fertility have not been studied in animals. Intravenous injections of male and female mice with a murine anti-C5 antibody at up to 0.8-2.2 times the equivalent of the clinical dose of ULTOMIRIS had no adverse effects on mating or fertility.

Use In Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Risk Summary

There are no available data on ULTOMIRIS 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 and aHUS in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). Animal studies using a mouse analogue of the ravulizumab-cwvz molecule (murine anti-mouse complement component 5 [C5] antibody) showed increased rates of developmental abnormalities and an increased rate of dead and moribund offspring at doses 0.8-2.2 times the human dose (see Data).

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

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.

In pregnancy, aHUS is associated with adverse maternal outcomes, including preeclampsia and preterm delivery, and adverse fetal/neonatal outcomes, including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), fetal death and low birth weight.

Data

Animal Data

Animal reproduction studies were conducted in mice using doses of a murine anti-C5 antibody that approximated 1-2.2 times (loading dose) and 0.8-1.8 times (maintenance dose) the recommended human ULTOMIRIS dose, based on a body weight comparison. When animal exposure to the antibody occurred in the time period from before mating until early gestation, no decrease in fertility or reproductive performance was observed. When maternal exposure to the antibody occurred during organogenesis, 2 cases of retinal dysplasia and 1 case of umbilical hernia were observed among 230 offspring born to mothers exposed to the higher antibody dose; however, the exposure did not increase fetal loss or neonatal death. When maternal exposure to the antibody occurred in the time period from implantation through weaning, a higher number of male offspring became moribund or died (1/25 controls, 2/25 low dose group, 5/25 high dose group). Surviving offspring had normal development and reproductive function. Human IgG are known to cross the human placental barrier, and thus ULTOMIRIS may potentially cause terminal complement inhibition in fetal circulation.

Lactation

Risk summary

There are no data on the presence of ravulizumab-cwvz in human milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or the effect on milk production. Since many medicinal products and immunoglobulins are secreted into human milk, and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a nursing child, breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment and for 8 months after the final dose.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of PNH have been established in pediatric patients aged one month and older. Use of ULTOMIRIS for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled trials in adults with additional pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety data in pediatric patients aged 9 to 17 years [see ADVERSE REACTIONS, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, and Clinical Studies]. The safety and efficacy for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with PNH appear similar. Use of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in pediatric patients with PNH aged less than 9 years and body weight < 30 kg is based on extrapolation of pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic (PK/PD), and efficacy and safety data from aHUS and PNH clinical studies [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and Clinical Studies].

The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of aHUS have been established in pediatric patients aged one month and older. Use of ULTOMIRIS for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy data in pediatric patients aged 10 months to < 17 years. The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of aHUS appear similar in pediatric and adult patients [see ADVERSE REACTIONS, and Clinical Studies].

The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS for the treatment of gMG in pediatric patients have not been established.

Subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS has not been evaluated and is not approved for use in pediatric patients.

Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of ULTOMIRIS did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over (58 patients with PNH, 9 with aHUS, and 54 with gMG) to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients.

Overdose Information for Ultomiris

No Information provided

Contraindications for Ultomiris

ULTOMIRIS is contraindicated for initiation in patients with unresolved serious Neisseria meningitidis infection [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Clinical Pharmacology for Ultomiris

Mechanism Of Action

Ravulizumab-cwvz is a terminal complement inhibitor that specifically binds to the complement protein C5 with high affinity, thereby inhibiting its cleavage to C5a (the proinflammatory anaphylatoxin) and C5b (the initiating subunit of the membrane attack complex [MAC or C5b-9]) thus preventing MAC formation. ULTOMIRIS inhibits terminal complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis in patients with PNH and complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in patients with aHUS.

The precise mechanism by which ravulizumab-cwvz exerts its therapeutic effect in gMG patients is unknown, but is presumed to involve reduction of terminal complement complex C5b-9 deposition at the neuromuscular junction.

Pharmacodynamics

Complete inhibition of serum free C5 (concentration of less than 0.5 mcg/mL) was observed by the end of the first ULTOMIRIS intravenous infusion and sustained throughout the entire 26-week treatment period in both adult and pediatric patients with PNH, in the majority (93%) of adult and pediatric patients with aHUS, and in all adult patients with gMG.

Complete inhibition of serum free C5 (concentration of less than 0.5 mcg/mL) was observed by the end of the first ULTOMIRIS subcutaneous administration and was sustained throughout the entire treatment period.

The extent and duration of the pharmacodynamic response in patients with PNH, aHUS, and gMG were exposure-dependent for ULTOMIRIS. Free C5 levels of < 0.5 mcg/mL were correlated with maximal intravascular hemolysis control and complete terminal complement inhibition in patients with PNH.

Complete terminal complement inhibition following initiation of ULTOMIRIS intravenous treatment led to normalization of serum LDH by week 4 in complement-inhibitor naïve patients with PNH, and maintained LDH normalization in patients previously treated with eculizumab with PNH [see Clinical Studies].

The PD results following ULTOMIRIS subcutaneous treatment are consistent with results in adult patients with PNH and aHUS treated with intravenous ULTOMIRIS.

Pharmacokinetics

Following ULTOMIRIS intravenous (IV) treatment, ravulizumab-cwvz pharmacokinetics increase proportionally over a dose range of 200 to 5400 mg. Ravulizumab-cwvz Cmax and Ctrough parameters are presented in Table 18, Table 19, and Table 20.

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of ravulizumab-cwvz were observed based on sex, age (10 months to 83 years), race, hepatic impairment, or any degree of renal impairment, including patients with proteinuria or receiving dialysis.

Body weight was a clinically significant covariate on the pharmacokinetics of ravulizumab-cwvz.

Drug Interactions

No drug-drug interaction studies have been performed.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and FcRn blocker treatment may interfere with the endosomal neonatal FcRn recycling mechanism of monoclonal antibodies such as ravulizumab and thereby decrease serum ravulizumab concentrations [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].

Concomitant PE, PP, or IVIg treatment requires a supplemental dose of ULTOMIRIS [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Clinical Studies

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)

The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in adult patients with PNH was assessed in 2 open-label, randomized, active-controlled, non-inferiority Phase 3 studies: PNH Study 301 and PNH Study 302. Study 301 enrolled patients with PNH who were complement inhibitor naïve and had active hemolysis. Study 302 enrolled patients with PNH who were clinically stable after having been treated with eculizumab for at least the past 6 months. The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in pediatric patients with PNH was assessed in PNH Study 304, an open-label, Phase 3 study conducted in eculizumab-experienced and complement inhibitor treatment naïve pediatric patients with PNH.

In Study 301 and Study 302, adults with PNH were dosed with ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in accordance with the weight-based dosing described in Section 2.2 (4 infusions of ULTOMIRIS over 26 weeks) above. Eculizumab was administered on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22, followed by maintenance treatment with 900 mg of eculizumab on Day 29 and every 2 weeks (q2w) thereafter for a total of 26 weeks of treatment, according to the approved dosing regimen of eculizumab which was the standard-of-care for PNH at the time of the studies.

The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered subcutaneously in adult patients with PNH was assessed in a controlled Phase 3 trial: PNH Study 303. Study 303 was a PK non-inferiority study in adult patients with PNH who were clinically stable and previously treated with eculizumab for at least 3 months prior to study entry. This study was also designed to assess the performance of the ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system.

Patients were vaccinated against meningococcal infection prior to or at the time of initiating treatment with ULTOMIRIS or eculizumab, or received prophylactic treatment with appropriate antibiotics until 2 weeks after vaccination. Prophylactic treatment with appropriate antibiotics beyond 2 weeks after vaccination was at the discretion of the provider.

Study In Complement-Inhibitor Naïve Adult Patients With PNH – Intravenous Administration

The Complement-Inhibitor Naïve Study [ALXN1210-PNH-301; NCT02946463] was a 26-week, multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, non-inferiority Phase 3 study conducted in 246 patients naïve to complement inhibitor treatment prior to study entry.

Patients with PNH with flow cytometric confirmation of at least 5% PNH cells were randomized 1:1 to either intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS or eculizumab. The mean total PNH granulocyte clone size was 85%, the mean total PNH monocyte clone size was 88%, and the mean total PNH RBC clone size was 39%. Ninety-eight percent of patients had a documented PNH-associated condition diagnosed prior to enrollment on the trial: anemia (85%), hemoglobinuria (63%), history of aplastic anemia (32%), history of renal failure (12%), myelodysplastic syndrome (5%), pregnancy complications (3%), and other (16%). Major baseline characteristics were balanced between treatment groups. Table 22 provides the baseline characteristics for the patients enrolled in the complement-inhibitor naïve study.

Efficacy was established based upon transfusion avoidance and hemolysis as directly measured by normalization of LDH levels. Transfusion avoidance was defined as patients who did not receive a transfusion and did not meet the protocol specified guidelines for transfusion from baseline up to Day 183. Supportive efficacy data included the percent change from baseline in LDH levels, the proportion of patients with breakthrough hemolysis defined as at least one new or worsening symptom or sign of intravascular hemolysis in the presence of elevated LDH ≥ 2 × ULN, after prior LDH reduction to < 1.5 × ULN on therapy and the proportion of patients with stabilized hemoglobin.

Non-inferiority of ULTOMIRIS to eculizumab was demonstrated across endpoints in the complement-inhibitor naïve treatment population described in Table 23 below.

There was no observable difference in fatigue between ULTOMIRIS and eculizumab after 26 weeks of treatment compared to baseline as measured by the FACIT-fatigue instrument. Patient-reported fatigue may be an under-or over-estimation because patients were not blinded to treatment assignment.

Study In Eculizumab-Experienced Adult Patients With PNH – Intravenous Administration

The study in eculizumab-experienced patients [ALXN1210-PNH-302; NCT03056040] was a 26-week, multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, non-inferiority Phase 3 study conducted in 195 patients with PNH who were clinically stable after having been treated with eculizumab for at least the past 6 months.

Patients who demonstrated clinically stable disease after being treated with eculizumab for at least the prior 6 months were randomized 1:1 to either continue eculizumab or to switch to ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously. The mean total PNH granulocyte clone size was 83%, the mean total PNH monocyte clone size was 86%, and the mean total PNH RBC clone size was 60%. Ninety-five percent of patients had a documented PNH-associated condition diagnosed prior to enrollment in the trial: anemia (67%), hematuria or hemoglobinuria (49%), history of aplastic anemia (37%), history of renal failure (9%), myelodysplastic syndrome (5%), pregnancy complication (7%), and other (14%). Major baseline characteristics were balanced between the 2 treatment groups. Table 24 provides the baseline characteristics for the patients enrolled in the eculizumab­experienced study.

Efficacy was established based on hemolysis as measured by LDH percent change from baseline to Day 183 and supportive efficacy data was transfusion avoidance, proportion of patients with stabilized hemoglobin, and the proportion of patients with breakthrough hemolysis through Day 183.

Non-inferiority of ULTOMIRIS to eculizumab was demonstrated across endpoints in the patients with PNH previously treated with eculizumab described in Table 25 below.

There was no observable difference in fatigue between ULTOMIRIS and eculizumab after 26 weeks of treatment compared to baseline as measured by the FACIT-fatigue instrument. Patient-reported fatigue may be an under-or over-estimation because patients were not blinded to treatment assignment.

Study In Eculizumab-Experienced And Complement-Inhibitor Naïve Pediatric Patients With PNH – Intravenous Administration

The pediatric study, ALXN1210-PNH-304 (NCT03406507), was a multi-center, open-label Phase 3 study conducted in eculizumab-experienced and complement inhibitor treatment-naïve pediatric patients with PNH. A total of 13 pediatric patients with PNH completed intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS treatment during the Primary Evaluation Period (26 weeks). Five of the 13 patients had never been treated with complement inhibitors and 8 patients were treated with eculizumab. Eleven of the thirteen patients were between 12 and 17 years of age at first infusion, with 2 patients under 12 years old (11 and 9 years old). Table 26 presents the baseline characteristics of the pediatric patients enrolled in Study ALXN1210-PNH-304.

Note: Percentages were based on the total number of patients in each cohort, or overall. Abbreviations: LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; kg = kilogram; max = maximum; min = minimum; pRBC = packed red blood cells; SD = standard deviation

Based on body weight, patients received a loading dose of ULTOMIRIS on Day 1, followed by maintenance treatment on Day 15 and once every 8 weeks (q8w) thereafter for patients weighing ≥ 20 kg, or once every 4 weeks (q4w) for patients weighing < 20 kg. For patients who entered the study on eculizumab therapy, Day 1 of study treatment was planned to occur 2 weeks from the patient’s last dose of eculizumab.

The weight-based dose regimen of ravulizumab-cwvz provided inhibition of terminal complement in all patients throughout the entire 26-week treatment period regardless of prior experience with eculizumab. Following initiation of ravulizumab-cwvz treatment, steady-state therapeutic serum concentrations of ravulizumab-cwvz were achieved after the first dose and maintained throughout the primary evaluation period in both cohorts. Three of 5 complement inhibitor treatment-naïve patients and 6 out of 8 eculizumab-experienced patients achieved hemoglobin stabilization by Week 26, respectively. Transfusion avoidance was reached for 11 out of 13 of patients during the 26-week Primary Evaluation Period. One patient experienced breakthrough hemolysis during the extension period. Table 27 presents secondary efficacy outcomes for the primary evaluation period.

One patient experienced breakthrough hemolysis at 1.8 years during the extension period; however, at the time of the breakthrough hemolysis event the patient had adequate C5 inhibition (free C5 < 0.5 mcg/mL). Abbreviations: FACIT = Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy; LDH = lactate dehydrogenase

A clinically relevant improvement from baseline in fatigue as assessed by Pediatric FACIT-Fatigue (i.e., mean improvement of > 3 units for Pediatric FACIT Fatigue scores) was sustained throughout the primary evaluation period in the 5-complement inhibitor treatment naïve patients. A slight improvement was also observed in eculizumab­experienced patients. However, patient-reported fatigue may be an under-or over-estimation because patients were not blinded to treatment assignment.

The efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in pediatric patients with PNH is similar to that observed in adult patients with PNH enrolled in pivotal studies.

Subcutaneous Administration In Adult Patients With PNH

Subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS was assessed in a multi-center, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study (ALXN1210-PNH-303 [NCT03748823]) conducted in adult patients with PNH who were clinically stable after having been treated with eculizumab for at least 3 months prior to study entry. The study enrolled 136 patients, of which 129 patients were included in the efficacy and safety analyses. The main outcome measure of Study ALXN1210-PNH-303 was the non-inferiority of Ctrough of ULTOMIRIS when administered subcutaneously via an on-body injector compared to ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously. The study was designed to bridge efficacy and safety data from ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously (IV) to ULTOMIRIS administered subcutaneously (SUBQ).

Patients who completed the 10-week Randomized Treatment Period are followed for up to 172 weeks in the long-term Extension Period. During the Randomized Treatment Period, patients were stratified by weight group (≥ 40 kg to < 60 kg and ≥ 60 kg to < 100 kg) and randomized 2:1 to receive ULTOMIRIS subcutaneously or ULTOMIRIS intravenously. On Day 1, all patients received a weight-based ULTOMIRIS intravenous loading dose. Starting on Day 15, patients randomized to the ULTOMIRIS subcutaneous group received once weekly subcutaneous maintenance doses (490 mg), while patients randomized to the ULTOMIRIS intravenous group received the approved weight-based intravenous maintenance dose. Following the Randomized Treatment Period (on Day 71), patients who were randomized to the ULTOMIRIS intravenous group switched to receive 490 mg of ULTOMIRIS subcutaneously weekly through the end of the Extension Period.

The mean total PNH RBC clone size was 48.35%, with a mean total PNH granulocyte clone size of 77.22% and a mean total PNH monocyte clone size of 80.18%. Ninety-two percent of the patients had documented PNH-associated conditions that were diagnosed prior to informed consent. Overall, the disease history and the baseline characteristics were well balanced between the 2 treatment groups. Table 28 presents the baseline characteristics of patients with PNH enrolled in Study ALXN1210-PNH-303.

In Study ALXN1210-PNH-303, treatment with ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system for subcutaneous administration achieved PK non-inferiority with a margin 0.80, compared with intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS treatment for the serum ravulizumab-cwvz Ctrough at Day 71, with a geometric least squares mean ratio of 1.257 (90% CI: 1.160, 1.361). Serum free C5 concentrations were maintained below the target threshold (< 0.5 mcg/mL) in all patients throughout the one year of subcutaneous treatment.

In patients with PNH randomized to subcutaneous or intravenous ULTOMIRIS, change in LDH, breakthrough hemolysis, transfusion avoidance, hemoglobin stabilization, and FACIT-Fatigue score were evaluated. No noticeable difference between the routes of administration was observed in these endpoints at Day 71.

Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS)

The efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in patients with aHUS was assessed in 2 open-label, single-arm studies. Study ALXN1210-aHUS-311 enrolled adult patients who displayed signs of TMA. In order to qualify for enrollment, patients were required to have a platelet count ≤ 150 × 10⁹/L, evidence of hemolysis such as an elevation in serum LDH, and serum creatinine above the upper limits of normal or required dialysis.

Study ALXN1210-aHUS-312 enrolled pediatric patients who displayed signs of TMA. In order to qualify for enrollment, patients were required to have a platelet count ≤ 150 × 10⁹/L, evidence of hemolysis such as an elevation in serum LDH, and serum creatinine level ≥ 97.5% percentile at screening or required dialysis. In both studies, enrollment criteria excluded patients presenting with TMA due to a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13) deficiency, Shiga toxin Escherichia coli related hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS) and genetic defect in cobalamin C metabolism. Patients with confirmed diagnosis of STEC-HUS after enrollment were excluded from the efficacy evaluation.

Study In Adult Patients With aHUS – Intravenous Administration

The adult study [ALXN1210-aHUS-311; NCT02949128] was conducted in patients who were naïve to complement inhibitor treatment prior to study entry. The study consisted of a 26-week Initial Evaluation Period and patients were allowed to enter an extension period for up to 4.5 years.

A total of 56 patients with aHUS were evaluated for efficacy. Ninety-three percent of patients had extra-renal signs (cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, skin, skeletal muscle) or symptoms of aHUS at baseline. At baseline, 71.4% (n = 40) of patients had Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Fourteen percent had a medical history of kidney transplant and 51.8% were on dialysis at study entry. Eight patients entered the study with evidence of TMA for > 3 days after childbirth (i.e., postpartum).

Table 29 presents the demographics and baseline characteristics of the 56 adult patients enrolled in Study ALXN1210-aHUS-311 that constituted the Full Analysis Set.

One additional patient had a Complete TMA Response that was confirmed after the 26-week Initial Evaluation Period. Complete TMA Response was achieved at a median time of 86 days (range: 7 to 169 days). The median duration of Complete TMA Response was 7.97 months (range: 2.52 to 16.69 months). All responses were maintained through all available follow-up.

Other endpoints included platelet count change from baseline, dialysis requirement, and renal function as evaluated by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

An increase in mean platelet count was observed after commencement of ULTOMIRIS intravenous treatment, increasing from 118.52 × 10⁹/L at baseline to 240.34 ×10⁹/L at Day 8 and remaining above 227 × 10⁹/L at all subsequent visits in the Initial Evaluation Period (26 weeks).

Renal function, as measured by eGFR, was improved or maintained during ULTOMIRIS intravenous therapy. The mean eGFR (+/-SD) increased from 15.86 (14.82) at baseline to 51.83 (39.16) by 26 weeks. In patients with Complete TMA Response, renal function continued to improve after the Complete TMA Response was achieved.

Seventeen of the 29 patients (59%) who required dialysis at study entry discontinued dialysis by the end of the available follow-up and 6 of 27 (22%) patients were off dialysis at baseline were on dialysis at last available follow-up.

Study In Pediatric Patients With aHUS – Intravenous Administration

The Pediatric Study [ALXN1210-aHUS-312; NCT03131219] is a 26-week ongoing, multicenter, single-arm study conducted in 16 pediatric patients.

A total of 14 eculizumab-naïve patients with documented diagnosis of aHUS were enrolled and included in this interim analysis. The median age at the time of first infusion was 5.2 years (range 0.9, 17.3 years). The overall mean weight at Baseline was 19.8 kg; half of the patients were in the baseline weight category ≥ 10 to < 20 kg. The majority of patients (71%) had pretreatment extra-renal signs (cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, skin, skeletal muscle) or symptoms of aHUS at baseline. At baseline, 35.7% (n = 5) of patients had a CKD Stage 5. Seven percent had history of prior kidney transplant and 35.7% were on dialysis at study entry.

Complete TMA Response during the Initial Evaluation Period was achieved at a median time of 30 days (range:15 to 88 days). The median duration of Complete TMA Response was 5.08 months (range: 3.08 to 5.54 months). All responses were maintained through all available follow-up.

Other endpoints included platelet count change from baseline, dialysis requirement, and renal function as evaluated by eGFR.

An increase in mean platelet count was observed after commencement of ULTOMIRIS intravenous treatment, increasing from 60.50 × 10⁹/L at baseline to 296.67 × 10⁹/L at Day 8 and remained above 296 × 10⁹/L at all subsequent visits in the Initial Evaluation Period (26 weeks). The mean eGFR (+/-SD) increased from 28.4 (23.11) at baseline to 108.0 (63.21) by 26 weeks.

Four of the 5 patients who required dialysis at study entry were able to discontinue dialysis after the first month in study and for the duration of ULTOMIRIS treatment. No patient started dialysis during the study.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG)

The efficacy of ULTOMIRIS for the treatment of gMG was demonstrated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study (ALXN1210-MG-306; NCT03920293). Patients were randomized 1:1 to either receive ULTOMIRIS (n=86) or placebo (n=89) for 26 weeks. ULTOMIRIS was administered intravenously according to the weight-based recommended dosage [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Patients with gMG with a positive serologic test for anti-AChR antibodies, Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) clinical classification class II to IV, and Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score ≥ 6 were enrolled. Baseline and disease characteristics were similar between treatment groups (including age at first dose [mean of 58 years for ULTOMIRIS versus 53 years for placebo], gender [51% female for ULTOMIRIS versus 51% female for placebo], race as White, Asian, and Black or African American [78%, 17%, and 2% for ULTOMIRIS versus 69%, 18%, and 5% for placebo, respectively], and duration of MG since diagnosis [mean of 10 years, ranging from 0.5 to 39.5 years, for ULTOMIRIS versus mean of 10.0 years, ranging from 0.5 to 36.1 years, for placebo].

Over 80% of patients were receiving acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, 70% were receiving corticosteroids, and 68% were receiving non-steroidal immunosuppressants (ISTs) at study entry. Patients on concomitant medications to treat gMG were permitted to continue on therapy throughout the course of the study.

The primary efficacy endpoint was a comparison of the change from baseline between treatment groups in the MG-ADL total score at Week 26. The MG-ADL is a categorical scale that assesses the impact on daily function of 8 signs or symptoms that are typically affected in gMG. Each item is assessed on a 4-point scale where a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 3 represents loss of ability to perform that function. The total score ranges from 0 to 24, with the higher scores indicating more impairment.

The secondary endpoints, also assessed from baseline to Week 26, included the change in the Quantitative MG total score (QMG). The QMG is a 13-item categorical scale assessing muscle weakness. Each item is assessed on a 4-point scale where a score of 0 represents no weakness and a score of 3 represents severe weakness. A total score ranges from 0 to 39, where higher scores indicate more severe impairment.

Other secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients with improvements of at least 5 and 3 points in the QMG and MG-ADL total scores, respectively.

Treatment with ULTOMIRIS demonstrated a statistically significant change in the MG-ADL and QMG total scores from baseline at Week 26 as compared to placebo (Table 33).

Table 33: Efficacy Results in Patients with gMG

*p-value calculated using mixed effect model for repeated measures Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, LS = least squares; MG-ADL = Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living profile; QMG = Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis score for disease severity

The proportion of QMG responders with at least a 5-point improvement at week 26 was greater for ULTOMIRIS (30.0%) compared to placebo (11.3%) p = 0.005. The proportion of MG-ADL responders with at least a 3-point improvement at week 26 was also greater for ULTOMIRIS (56.7%) compared to placebo (34.1%). The proportion of clinical responders at higher response thresholds (≥ 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-point improvement on MG-ADL, and ≥ 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, or 10-point improvement on QMG) was consistently greater for ULTOMIRIS compared to placebo.

Patient Information for Ultomiris

ULTOMIRIS®
(ul-toe-meer-is)
(ravulizumab-cwvz) injection for intravenous or subcutaneous use

What is the most important information I should know about ULTOMIRIS?

• ULTOMIRIS is a medicine that affects your immune system. ULTOMIRIS may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections.
  • ULTOMIRIS increases your chance of getting serious meningococcal infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis bacteria. Meningococcal infections may quickly become life-threatening or cause death if not recognized and treated early.
  • You must complete or update your meningococcal vaccine(s) at least 2 weeks before your first dose of ULTOMIRIS.
  • If you have not completed your meningococcal vaccines and ULTOMIRIS must be started right away, you should receive the required vaccine(s) as soon as possible.
  • If you have not been vaccinated and ULTOMIRIS must be started right away, you should also receive antibiotics to take for as long as your healthcare provider tells you.
  • If you had a meningococcal vaccine in the past, you might need additional vaccines before starting ULTOMIRIS. Your healthcare provider will decide if you need additional meningococcal vaccines.
  • Meningococcal vaccines do not prevent all meningococcal infections. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away if you get any of these signs and symptoms of a serious meningococcal infection:
    • fever
    • fever and a rash
    • fever with high heart rate
    • headache with nausea or vomiting
    • headache and fever
    • headache with stiff neck or stiff back
    • confusion
    • eyes sensitive to light
    • body aches with flu-like symptoms

Your healthcare provider will give you a Patient Safety Card about the risk of serious meningococcal infection. Carry it with you at all times during treatment and for 8 months after your last dose of ULTOMIRIS. Your risk of meningococcal infection may continue for several months after your last dose of ULTOMIRIS. It is important to show this card to any healthcare provider who treats you. This will help them diagnose and treat you quickly.

ULTOMIRIS is only available through a program called the ULTOMIRIS Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Before you can receive ULTOMIRIS, your healthcare provider must:

• enroll in the ULTOMIRIS REMS program
• counsel you about the risk of serious meningococcal infections
• give you information about the signs and symptoms of serious meningococcal infection
• make sure that you are vaccinated against serious infections caused by meningococcal bacteria and that you receive antibiotics if you need to start ULTOMIRIS right away and you are not up to date on your vaccines
• give you a Patient Safety Card about your risk of meningococcal infection, as discussed above

ULTOMIRIS may also increase the risk of other types of serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

• If your child is treated with ULTOMIRIS, your child should receive vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).
• Certain people may be at risk of serious infections with gonorrhea. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether you are at risk for gonorrhea infection, about gonorrhea prevention, and regular testing.

For more information about side effects, see “What are the possible side effects of ULTOMIRIS?”

What is ULTOMIRIS?

ULTOMIRIS is a prescription medicine called a monoclonal antibody. ULTOMIRIS is used to treat:

• adults and children 1 month of age and older with a disease called Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH).
• adults and children 1 month of age and older with a disease called atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS). ULTOMIRIS is not used in treating people with Shiga toxin E. coli related hemolytic uremic syndrome (STECHUS).
• adults with a disease called generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive.

It is not known if ULTOMIRIS is safe and effective in children younger than 1 month of age.

It is not known if ULTOMIRIS is safe and effective for the treatment of gMG in children. Subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS has not been evaluated and is not approved for use in children.

Who should not receive ULTOMIRIS?

Do not receive ULTOMIRIS if you have a serious meningococcal infection when you are starting ULTOMIRIS treatment.

Before you receive ULTOMIRIS, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

• have an infection or fever.
• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if ULTOMIRIS will harm your unborn baby.
• are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if ULTOMIRIS passes into your breast milk. You should not breastfeed during treatment and for 8 months after your final dose of ULTOMIRIS.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. ULTOMIRIS and other medicines can affect each other causing side effects.

Know the medicines you take and the vaccines you receive. Keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

How should I receive ULTOMIRIS?

• Your healthcare provider will decide how long you need to receive ULTOMIRIS for your PNH, your aHUS, or your gMG.

Adults with PNH, aHUS, or gMG when administered intravenously (by vein)

• You will be given intravenous ULTOMIRIS infusion by a healthcare provider through a needle placed in a vein
• You will usually receive:
  • a starting dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS infusion by your healthcare provider, and then
  • 2 weeks later, you will start to receive an infusion of ULTOMIRIS every 8 weeks.

Children 1 month of age and older with PNH or aHUS when administered intravenously (by vein)

Your child will be given intravenous ULTOMIRIS infusion by a healthcare provider through a needle placed in a vein

• Your child will usually receive:
  • a starting dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS infusion by your healthcare provider, and then
  • your healthcare provider will decide how often your child will receive their intravenous ULTOMIRIS infusion, either every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks, depending on their weight, starting 2 weeks after the starting dose.

Adults with PNH or aHUS when administered subcutaneously (under your skin)

• You or your caregiver will administer subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS under your skin through an on-body injector.
• Use ULTOMIRIS exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to.
• Read the Instructions for Use that comes with subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS for instructions about the right way to prepare and give your subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS injections through an on-body injector.
• If your healthcare provider decides that you or a caregiver can give your injections of subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS, you or your caregiver should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS. It is important that you receive training from your healthcare provider on how to inject subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS before giving an injection.
• You will need 2 on-body delivery systems (each containing 1 on-body injector and 1 prefilled cartridge) for a full subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS dose, and each injection will take about 10 minutes.
• You or your caregiver can administer the injections at the same time or 1 after the other into your stomach (abdomen), thigh, or upper arm.
• If you are not currently being treated with intravenous ULTOMIRIS or SOLIRIS, you will usually receive:
  • a starting dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS infusion by your healthcare provider, and then
  • 2 weeks later, you or your caregiver will start to administer maintenance doses of subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS weekly.

If you are changing treatment between ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously, ULTOMIRIS administered subcutaneously, or SOLIRIS:

• From intravenous ULTOMIRIS to subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS, you should receive your first dose of subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS 8 weeks after your last dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS. No intravenous ULTOMIRIS starting dose is needed.
• From subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS to intravenous ULTOMIRIS, you should receive your first dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS 1 week after your last dose of subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS.
• From SOLIRIS to intravenous ULTOMIRIS, you should receive your starting dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS at time of your next scheduled dose of SOLIRIS.
• From SOLIRIS to subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS, you should receive your starting dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS at time of your next scheduled dose of SOLIRIS, and then your first dose of subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS 2 weeks after your starting dose of intravenous ULTOMIRIS.
• After each administration, you should monitor for allergic and infusion reactions for at least 1 hour. See “What are the possible side effects of ULTOMIRIS?”
• If you have PNH and you stop receiving ULTOMIRIS, your healthcare provider will need to monitor you closely for at least 16 weeks after you stop ULTOMIRIS. Stopping ULTOMIRIS may cause breakdown of your red blood cells due to PNH.

Symptoms or problems that can happen due to red blood cell breakdown include:

• • drop in your red blood cell count
  • shortness of breath
  • tiredness
  • blood clots
  • blood in your urine
  • trouble swallowing
  • stomach-area (abdomen) pain
  • erectile dysfunction (ED) in males
• If you have aHUS, your healthcare provider will need to monitor you closely for at least 12 months after stopping treatment for signs of worsening aHUS or problems related to a type of abnormal clotting and breakdown of your red blood cells called thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).

Symptoms or problems that can happen with TMA may include:

• confusion or loss of consciousness
• difficulty breathing
• seizures
• blood clots or stroke
• chest pain (angina)

If you miss an ULTOMIRIS intravenous or subcutaneous dose, or administer a partial subcutaneous dose of ULTOMIRIS, call your healthcare provider right away.

What are the possible side effects of ULTOMIRIS?

• ULTOMIRIS can cause serious side effects including: See “What is the most important information I should know about ULTOMIRIS?”
• Infusion-related reactions. Infusion-related reactions may happen during your ULTOMIRIS intravenous or subcutaneous treatment. Symptoms of an infusion-related reaction with ULTOMIRIS may include lower back pain, tiredness, feeling faint, discomfort in your arms or legs, bad taste, or drowsiness. Stop treatment of ULTOMIRIS and tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop these symptoms, or any other symptoms during your ULTOMIRIS infusion that may mean you are having a serious infusion reaction, including:
  • chest pain
  • swelling of your face, tongue, or throat
  • trouble breathing or shortness of breath
  • feel faint or pass out
• Allergic reactions to acrylic adhesive. Allergic reactions to the acrylic adhesive may happen with your subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS treatment. If you have an allergic reaction during the delivery of subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS, remove the on-body injector and get medical help right away. Your healthcare provider may treat you with medicines to help prevent or treat allergic reaction symptoms as needed.

The most common side effects of ULTOMIRIS in people treated for PNH are:

• upper respiratory tract infection
• headache
• local injection site reactions
• diarrhea

The most common side effects of ULTOMIRIS in people treated for aHUS are:

• upper respiratory tract infection
• headache
• diarrhea
• high blood pressure
• nausea
• fever
• vomiting

The most common side effects of ULTOMIRIS in people with gMG are:

• diarrhea
• upper respiratory tract infections

Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

These are not all of the possible side effects of ULTOMIRIS.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
