TAKHZYRO (Page 2 of 8)

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

No dedicated drug interaction studies have been conducted [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

7.1 Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions

Coagulation tests

TAKHZYRO can increase activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) due to an interaction of TAKHZYRO with the aPTT assay. The reagents used in the aPTT laboratory test initiate intrinsic coagulation through the activation of plasma kallikrein in the contact system. Inhibition of plasma kallikrein by TAKHZYRO can increase aPTT in this assay. In Trial 1, prolongation of aPTT (>1× ULN) was observed at one or more time points in 3, 9, and 11 patients treated with TAKHZYRO 150 mg q4wks, 300 mg q4wks, and 300 mg q2wks, respectively, compared to 5 placebo-treated patients. Only one patient in the 300 mg q2wks treatment group experienced transient aPTT prolongation ≥1.5x ULN which was confounded by ongoing heparin therapy. None of the increases in aPTT in patients treated with TAKHZYRO were associated with abnormal bleeding adverse events. There were no differences in INR values between treatment groups.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

There are no available data on TAKHZYRO use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks. Monoclonal antibodies such as lanadelumab-flyo are transported across the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy; therefore, potential effects on a fetus are likely to be greater during the third trimester of pregnancy. An enhanced pre-and postnatal development (ePPND) study conducted in pregnant monkeys at doses resulting in exposures of up to 33 times the exposure achieved (on an AUC basis) at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) revealed no evidence of harm to the developing fetus.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. 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

Animal Data

In the ePPND study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were administered lanadelumab-flyo once weekly at subcutaneous doses resulting in up to 33 times the exposure at the MRHD (on an AUC basis with maternal subcutaneous doses up to 50 mg/kg/week) from gestation day 20, at the beginning of organogenesis, through to parturition. There were no lanadelumab-flyo-related effects on maintenance of pregnancy or parturition. Maternal lanadelumab-flyo treatment had no effects on embryo-fetal development, survival, growth, or postnatal development of offspring through 3 months of age. Lanadelumab-flyo crossed the placenta in monkeys. Offspring were exposed to lanadelumab-flyo at approximately 50% of the maternal plasma concentration out to postnatal day 21 (PND 21). Lanadelumab-flyo concentrations were approximately equivalent in maternal and offspring plasma at PND 90.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of lanadelumab-flyo in human milk, its effects on the breastfed infant, or its effects on milk production. Lanadelumab-flyo was detected in the milk of lactating cynomolgus monkeys at approximately 0.2% of the maternal plasma concentration. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TAKHZYRO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from TAKHZYRO or from the underlying maternal condition.

Data

Animal Data

Available pharmacokinetic data in cynomolgus monkeys have shown excretion of lanadelumab-flyo in milk at approximately 0.2% of the maternal plasma level.

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of TAKHZYRO for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) have been established in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.

Use of TAKHZYRO for this indication in patients 12 years of age and older was supported by a subgroup analysis by age of 10 patients aged 12 to <18 years in Trial 1 (a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with HAE). Results of the subgroup analysis by age were consistent with overall study results. An additional 13 pediatric patients aged 12 to <18 years were enrolled in the open-label extension study [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].

Use of TAKHZYRO for this indication in patients 2 to less than 12 years of age was supported by extrapolation of efficacy data from Trial 1, an adequate and well controlled study in adult and pediatric (12 to less than 18 years of age) patients, with additional pharmacokinetic analyses showing similar drug exposures between adults (>18 years of age) and pediatric patients (2 to less than 12 years of age), and safety and pharmacodynamic data from an open-label, multicenter study in pediatric patients with HAE aged 2 to less than 12 years that enrolled 21 patients (4 patients were aged 2 to less than 6 years and 17 patients were 6 to less than 12 years of age) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. The pharmacodynamic response observed in this trial for pediatric patients 2 to less than 12 years of age was similar to that seen in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

The safety and effectiveness of TAKHZYRO in pediatric patients less than 2 years of age have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of TAKHZYRO were evaluated in a subgroup of patients (N=5) aged ≥65 years in Trial 1. Results of the subgroup analysis by age were consistent with overall study results [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].

10 OVERDOSAGE

There is no clinical experience with overdosage of TAKHZYRO.

11 DESCRIPTION

Lanadelumab-flyo, a plasma kallikrein inhibitor, is a non-plasma derived, recombinant, fully human, monoclonal antibody (IgG1/κ-light chain) produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Based on the amino acid sequence, the molecular weight of the non-glycosylated lanadelumab-flyo is 146 kDa. The calculated molecular mass of the fully reduced light chain is 23 kDa. The calculated molecular mass of the fully reduced and non-glycosylated heavy chain is 49 kDa.

TAKHZYRO (lanadelumab-flyo) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution for subcutaneous use.

Each mL of ready-to-use TAKHZYRO solution contains 150 mg of lanadelumab-flyo, citric acid monohydrate (4.1 mg), L-histidine (7.8 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.1 mg), sodium chloride (5.3 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic dihydrate (5.3 mg), and Water for Injection, USP. The solution has a pH of approximately 6.0.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Lanadelumab-flyo is a fully human monoclonal antibody (IgG1/κ-light chain) that binds plasma kallikrein and inhibits its proteolytic activity. Plasma kallikrein is a protease that cleaves high-molecular-weight-kininogen (HMWK) to generate cleaved HMWK (cHMWK) and bradykinin, a potent vasodilator that increases vascular permeability resulting in swelling and pain associated with HAE. In patients with HAE due to C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency or dysfunction, normal regulation of plasma kallikrein activity is not present, which leads to uncontrolled increases in plasma kallikrein activity and results in angioedema attacks. Lanadelumab-flyo decreases plasma kallikrein activity to control excess bradykinin generation in patients with HAE.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

In adult and pediatric (12 to less than 18 years) patients, concentration-dependent inhibition of plasma kallikrein, measured as reduction of cHMWK levels, was demonstrated after subcutaneous administration of TAKHZYRO 150 mg q4wks, 300 mg q4wks or 300 mg q2wks in patients with HAE.

For pediatric patients 2 to less than 6 years (150 mg q4wks) and 6 to less than 12 years (150 mg q2wks), the observed mean percent change from baseline cHMWK levels was similar to that observed in adult and pediatric (12 to less than 18 years) patients (300 mg q2wks or 300 mg q4wks).

Cardiac Electrophysiology

TAKHZYRO did not prolong the QT/QTc interval.
