Generic Name: cipaglucosidase alfa-atga

Over-the-Counter (OTC)

Brand Names:

Pombiliti Atga

11 DESCRIPTION Cipaglucosidase alfa-atga is a hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen‑specific recombinant human α‑glucosidase (rhGAA) enzyme derived from a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line using perfusion methodology, resulting in cellularly (CHO)‑derived N‑glycans. Cipaglucosidase alfa‑atga is a glycoprotein with 1.3 mols of bis‑mannose‑6‑phosphate (bis‑M6P) per mol of enzyme. Cipaglucosidase alfa-atga has a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa.

Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE POMBILITI is indicated, in combination with Opfolda, for the treatment of adult patients with late-onset Pompe disease (lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency) weighing ≥40 kg and who are not improving on their current enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). POMBILITI is a hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme indicated, in combination with Opfolda, an enzyme stabilizer, for the treatment of adult patients with late-onset Pompe disease (lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency) weighing ≥40 kg and who are not improving on their current enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).

Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment. ( 2.1 ) Administer POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda. ( 2.2 ) Consider administering antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids prior to POMBILITI administration. ( 2.2 ) Recommended POMBILITI dosage is 20 mg/kg (of actual body weight) administered every other week as an intravenous infusion over approximately 4 hours. ( 2.2 ) Start POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda 2 weeks after the last ERT dose. ( 2.2 ) Initiate the POMBILITI infusion approximately 1 hour after oral administration of Opfolda.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infusion-Associated Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions ≥ 5% are headache, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain and pyrexia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Amicus Therapeutics at 1-877-4AMICUS or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Warnings

WARNING: SEVERE HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS, INFUSION-ASSOCIATED REACTIONS, and RISK OF ACUTE CARDIORESPIRATORY FAILURE IN SUSCEPTIBLE PATIENTS Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Patients treated with POMBILITI have experienced life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Appropriate medical support measures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment, should be readily available during POMBILITI administration. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: May cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 60 days after the last dose. ( 4 , 5.4 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Risks Associated with Opfolda: Refer to the Opfolda Prescribing Information for a description of additional risks for Opfolda. ( 5.5 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in POMBILITI-treated patients. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda is contraindicated in pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ]. Pregnancy ( 4 , 5.4 , 8.1 )

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female and is contraindicated during pregnancy. In a rabbit embryo-fetal development study, great vessel and cardiac malformations were increased in offspring of pregnant rabbits treated with cipaglucosidase alfa-atga in combination with miglustat at 16-fold and 3-fold, respectively, the MRHD of POMBILITI and Opfolda based on plasma AUC exposure.
