Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE REBINYN, Coagulation Factor IX (Recombinant), GlycoPEGylated, is a recombinant DNA-derived coagulation Factor IX concentrate indicated for use in adults and children with hemophilia B (congenital Factor IX deficiency) for: • On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes • Perioperative management of bleeding • Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes Limitations of Use : REBINYN is not indicated for immune tolerance induction in patients with hemophilia B.

Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intravenous infusion after reconstitution only. For intravenous infusion after reconstitution only ( 2 ). • Each carton and vial label for REBINYN states the actual Factor IX potency in international units (IU) ( 2.1 ). On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes: • 40 IU/kg body weight for minor and moderate bleeds, and 80 IU/kg body weight for major bleeds. Additional doses of 40 IU/kg can be given ( 2.1 ). Perioperative management: • Pre-operative dose of 40 IU/kg body weight for minor surgery, and 80 IU/kg body weight for major surgery. As clinically needed for the perioperative management of bleeding, repeated doses of 40 IU/kg (in 1-3 day intervals) within the first week after major surgery may be administered.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 1%) in PTPs reported in clinical trials for REBINYN were itching and injection site reactions. Common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 1%) in PUPs reported in clinical trials for REBINYN were rash, FIX inhibitors, hypersensitivity, itching, injection site reaction, and anaphylactic reaction. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥ 1%) in previously treated patients (PTPs) and previously untreated patients (PUPs) were itching and injection site reactions ( 6 ). Additional frequently reported adverse reactions (≥ 1%) in PUPs included rash, Factor IX inhibition, hypersensitivity, and anaphylactic reaction ( 6 ).

Warnings

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred. Should hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue REBINYN and administer appropriate treatment ( 5.1 ). • Neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to Factor IX have occurred following administration of REBINYN. Perform an assay that measures Factor IX inhibitor concentration if bleeding is not controlled with the recommended dose of REBINYN or if plasma Factor IX activity level fails to increase as expected (5.2 , 5.5 ). • The use of Factor IX- products has been associated with the development of thromboembolic complications ( 5.3 ). 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS REBINYN is contraindicated in patients who have known hypersensitivity to REBINYN or its components (including hamster proteins) [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Description ( 11 ) ] Do not use in patients who have known hypersensitivity to REBINYN or its components, including hamster proteins ( 4 ).

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no data with REBINYN use in pregnant women to determine whether there is a drug-associated risk. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with REBINYN. It is unknown whether REBINYN can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect fertility. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Storage

16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING How Supplied • REBINYN is supplied in packages comprised of a single-dose vial containing nominally 500, 1000, 2000, or 3000 IU of Factor IX potency; a MixPro ® pre-filled diluent syringe containing 10 mM histidine solution (1.6 mg/mL), and a sterile vial adapter with 25 micrometer filter, which serves as a needleless reconstitution device.
