Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE HYMPAVZI is indicated for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with: • hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency) without factor VIII inhibitors, or • hemophilia B (congenital factor IX deficiency) without factor IX inhibitors.

Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • See Full Prescribing Information for important dosing and administration instructions. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 ) • The recommended dosage of HYMPAVZI is: o Loading dose: 300 mg (two 150 mg injections) by subcutaneous injection o Maintenance dose: One week after the loading dose, initiate maintenance dosing of 150 mg every week by subcutaneous injection on the same day each week, at any time of day. ( 2.1 ) • Dose adjustment to 300 mg subcutaneous injection weekly can be considered. ( 2.1 ) • Factor VIII and factor IX products can be administered for the treatment of breakthrough bleeds in patients receiving HYMPAVZI. Do not use additional doses of HYMPAVZI to treat breakthrough bleeds.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Thromboembolic Events [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Adverse reactions reported in ≥3% of HYMPAVZI-treated patients were injection site reaction, headache, and pruritus. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer Inc. at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) and Prothrombin Time (PT) No clinically significant differences in standard measures of coagulation including activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were observed following marstacimab‑hncq therapy.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Thromboembolic Events: Thromboembolic events may occur. Interrupt HYMPAVZI prophylaxis if symptoms occur. ( 5.1 ) • Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions may occur. In the event of a severe allergic reaction, discontinue HYMPAVZI. ( 5.2 ) • Embryofetal Toxicity: May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Thromboembolic Events HYMPAVZI is a tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) antagonist, and may increase the risk of thromboembolic complications. Venous thrombotic events were reported in clinical studies with HYMPAVZI [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, HYMPAVZI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on HYMPAVZI use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Female animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with HYMPAVZI. Although there are no data on marstacimab‑hncq, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta, and marstacimab‑hncq may cause fetal harm.
Storage
16.2 Recommended Storage and Handling • Store refrigerated at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) in the original carton to protect from light. • If needed, HYMPAVZI may be stored one time at room temperature [up to 86°F (30°C)] in its original carton to protect from light for up to 7 days. Once stored at room temperature, do not return to the refrigerator and discard after 7 days. • Do not freeze.
