11 DESCRIPTION ZOLGENSMA is a suspension of an adeno-associated viral vector-based gene therapy for intravenous infusion. It is a recombinant self-complementary AAV9 containing a transgene encoding the human survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, under the control of a cytomegalovirus enhancer/chicken-β-actin hybrid promoter. ZOLGENSMA has a nominal concentration of 2.0 × 10 13 vg/mL.

Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ZOLGENSMA is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients less than 2 years of age with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with bi-allelic mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. Limitations of Use The safety and effectiveness of repeat administration of ZOLGENSMA have not been evaluated [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . The use of ZOLGENSMA in patients with advanced SMA (e.g., complete paralysis of limbs, permanent ventilator-dependence) has not been evaluated [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For single-dose intravenous infusion only. For single-dose intravenous infusion only ( 2 ). The recommended dosage of ZOLGENSMA is 1.1 × 10 14 vector genomes (vg) per kg of body weight. ( 2.1 ) Administer ZOLGENSMA as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes. ( 2.1 , 2.3 ) Postpone ZOLGENSMA in patients with infections until the infection has resolved and the patient is clinically stable. ( 2.1 , 5.2 ) Starting one day prior to ZOLGENSMA infusion, administer systemic corticosteroids equivalent to oral prednisolone at 1 mg/kg of body weight per day for a total of 30 days. At the end of the 30-day period, check liver function by clinical examination and by laboratory testing.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) were elevated aminotransferases and vomiting. The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) were elevated aminotransferases and vomiting. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Novartis Gene Therapies at 1-833-828-3947 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 product and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety data described in this section reflect exposure to ZOLGENSMA in five clinical studies enrolling a total of 68 patients.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Where feasible, adjust a patient’s vaccination schedule to accommodate concomitant corticosteroid administration prior to and following ZOLGENSMA infusion [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . Certain vaccines, such as measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) and varicella, are contraindicated for patients on a substantially immunosuppressive steroid dose (i.e., ≥ 2 weeks of daily receipt of 20 mg or 2 mg/kg body weight of prednisone or equivalent). Seasonal RSV prophylaxis is recommended (General Best Practice Guidelines for Immunization [ www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/general-recs/downloads/general-recs.pdf ], eds2017).
Warnings
WARNING: SERIOUS LIVER INJURY and ACUTE LIVER FAILURE Cases of acute liver failure with fatal outcomes have been reported. Acute serious liver injury and elevated aminotransferases can also occur with ZOLGENSMA [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Patients with preexisting liver impairment may be at higher risk [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Prior to infusion, assess liver function of all patients by clinical examination and laboratory testing. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Systemic Immune Response: Administer ZOLGENSMA to patients who are clinically stable in their overall baseline health status (e.g., hydration and nutritional status, absence of infection) prior to infusion. ( 5.2 ) Thrombocytopenia: Monitor platelet counts before ZOLGENSMA infusion, and at least weekly for the first month and then every other week for the second and third month or until platelet counts return to baseline. ( 2.3 , 5.3 ) Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA): Prompt attention to signs and symptoms of TMA is advised, as TMA can result in life-threatening or fatal outcomes. If clinical signs, symptoms and/or laboratory findings occur, consult a pediatric hematologist and/or pediatric nephrologist immediately to manage as clinically indicated. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data regarding ZOLGENSMA use in pregnant women. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with ZOLGENSMA. In the United States 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.
Storage
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING 16.1 How Supplied ZOLGENSMA is shipped frozen (≤ -60°C [-76°F]) in 10 mL vials with 2 fill volumes (either 5.5 mL or 8.3 mL).
