Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Weight (kg) Recommended Dosage Greater than or equal to 50 kg 370 mg given as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes once weekly. Increase frequency to twice weekly if there is inadequate improvement in TA-TMA signs and symptoms. ( 2.1 ) Less than 50 kg 4 mg/kg given as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes once weekly. Increase frequency to twice weekly if there is inadequate improvement in TA-TMA signs and symptoms. ( 2.1 ) See Full Prescribing Information for instructions on preparation and administration. ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of YARTEMLEA is provided in Table 1 .
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Serious Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Most common adverse reactions (incidence > 20% and independent of causality) are viral infections, sepsis, hemorrhage, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, neutropenia, pyrexia, fatigue and hypokalemia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Omeros Corporation at 1-844-YARTEM1 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious infections: Monitor patients for signs/symptoms and treat appropriately. ( 5.1 ) 5.1 Serious Infections Serious and life-threatening infections have occurred in patients treated with YARTEMLEA. Serious infections, independent of causality, were reported in 36% (10/28) of patients with TA-TMA receiving YARTEMLEA in clinical trials. These infections included sepsis, viral infections, pneumonia, bacteremia, fungal infection, gastroenteritis, respiratory tract infection and urosepsis. If YARTEMLEA is administered to patients with active infections, monitor closely for signs and symptoms of worsening infection and treat promptly. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None None ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The available data on the use of YARTEMLEA during pregnancy are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, narsoplimab-wuug was administered subcutaneously and intravenously twice weekly to pregnant mice and rabbits during organogenesis at dose exposures up to 22 and 91-fold, respectively, the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on area under the concentration-time curve (AUC).
