Cautions
Serious adverse reactions of aseptic meningitis (also called drug-induced aseptic meningitis) reported
Infections
- May increase risk of infection
- Delay administration in patients with an active infection until infection is resolved
- During treatment, monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of infection
- If serious infection occurs, administer appropriate treatment and consider withholding therapy until infection has resolved
Hypersensitivity reactions
- Hypersensitivity reactions (eg, angioedema, rash) observed
- Manage of hypersensitivity reactions depending on type and severity of reaction
- Monitor during treatment and for 15 minutes after administration is complete for clinical signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions
- If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate measures if needed or patient should seek medical attention
Drug interaction overview
-
Immunization
- Vaccinations of live-attenuated or live vaccines are not recommended
- Immunization with vaccines during treatment not studied
- Safety of immunization with live or live-attenuated vaccines and response to immunization with any vaccine are unknown
- Evaluate need to administer age-appropriate vaccines according to immunization guidelines before initiation of a new treatment cycle
-
Drugs that bind to Fc receptor
- Closely monitor for reduced effectiveness of medications that bind to the human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)
- When concomitant long-term use of such medications is essential for patient care, consider discontinuing therapy and using alternative therapies
- Rozanolixizumab may lower systemic exposures and reduce effectiveness of with medications that bind to FcRn (eg, immunoglobulin products, monoclonal antibodies, antibody derivatives containing the human Fc domain of the IgG subclass)
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
There are limited data on use in pregnant females to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
Animal data
- Following administration of rozanolixizumab to pregnant monkeys at doses greater than those used clinically, increases in embryonic death, reduced body weight, and impaired immune function were observed in the absence of maternal toxicity
Lactation
There are no data on the presence of rozanolixizumab in human milk, effects on breastfed infants, or effects on milk production
Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), resulting in decreased circulating IgG
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease in which IgG autoantibodies are formed against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or other components of the neuromuscular junction
Absorption
Steady-state achieved at ~2 days
Distribution
Vd: 6.6 L
Metabolism
Expected to be degraded by proteolytic enzymes into small peptides and amino acids
Elimination
Clearance: 0.89 L/day
Administration
SC Preparation
Should only be prepared by a healthcare provider
Refer to infusion pump manufacturer's instructions for full preparation and administration information
Use pumps where administered volume can be preset as each vial contains excess volume for priming of infusion line
Use aseptic technique when preparing and administering
Before use, allow vials to reach room temperature for ~30 min; keep vial in original carton to protect from light until ready to use; do not shake
Do not use heating devices
Infuse within 4 hr of puncturing vial; immediately administer after priming infusion set
Visually inspect parenteral drug products for particulate matter and discoloration before administering, whenever solution and container permit; solution should be colorless to pale brownish-yellow, clear to slightly opalescent
Discard if liquid looks cloudy, contains foreign particles, or has changed color
Use transfer needles to fill syringe
Remove needle from syringe and attach infusion set to syringe
Follow device manufacturer's instructions to prepare pump and prime tubing
SC Administration
SC administration only using an infusion pump
Recommended for administration
- Syringe pump occlusion alarm limits should be at the maximum setting
- Administration tubing length should be ≤61 cm
- Use infusion set with a needle of ≥26 gauge
Infusion rate
- Administer SC infusion using an infusion pump weekly for 6 weeks
- Infuse at constant flow rate up to 20 mL/hour
- Monitor during administration and for 15 min after completion for clinical signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions
- If hypersensitivity reaction occurs during administration, discontinue administration and institute appropriate supportive measures
- Once infusion is complete, do NOT flush infusion line as volume of infusion has been adjusted considering losses in the line
- Each vial is for one-time use only; does not contain preservatives; discard any remaining solution
- Subsequent cycles: Administer based on clinical evaluation; safety of initiating subsequent cycles <63 days from start of previous treatment cycle not established
Infusion site
- Choose an infusion site in lower right or lower left part of abdomen below navel and clean with an alcohol wipe
- Do not infuse where skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard
- Avoid infusing into tattoos, scars, or stretch marks
- Rotate infusion sites for subsequent administrations
- Insert infusion set needle into infusion site and secure needle to skin with sterile gauze and tape or a transparent dressing
Missed dose
- May administer missed dose up to 4 days after scheduled time point
- Then, resume original dosing schedule until treatment cycle is completed
Storage
Unopened vials
- Keep in original carton to protect from light until ready to use
- Do not shake
- Refrigerate at 36-46ºF (2-8ºC) in the original carton to protect from light until the time of use; do not freeze
- Store at room temperature up to 77ºF (25ºC) for a single period of up to 30 days in original carton
Punctured vials
- Use within 4 hr
