    None.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    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.

    The safety of ANDEMBRY reflects the exposure in a total of 164 adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with hereditary angioedema (HAE) from a placebo-controlled study, VANGUARD [see Clinical Studies (14)], and an open-label clinical study. Among the 164 patients who received at least one dose of ANDEMBRY 200 mg subcutaneously, 153 (93%) patients were exposed for at least one year. The median duration of ANDEMBRY treatment was 2.6 years.

    The safety data below is based on the 6-month placebo-controlled study (VANGUARD), in which ANDEMBRY 400 mg was administered subcutaneously as a loading dose followed by 200 mg (N=39) every month in patients with HAE. Demographics of the patients in this study are summarized in Clinical Studies [see Clinical Studies (14)]. The safety of ANDEMBRY was similar across all subgroups of patients, including analysis by age, sex and geographic region.

    Table 1 provides the most common adverse reactions with ANDEMBRY with incidence ≥7% and more common than placebo.

    Specific Adverse Reaction(s):

    Injection Site Reactions

    In VANGUARD and an open-label clinical study, which included 57 patients who rolled over from VANGUARD, 164 patients with HAE received ANDEMBRY 200 mg subcutaneously every month. Injection site reactions (e.g., injection site bruising, injection site erythema, injection site hematoma, injection site pruritus, injection site urticaria) were reported in 23 (14%) patients.

    Laboratory Abnormalities:

    Prolonged Coagulation Tests (aPTT and PT)

    In the VANGUARD trial, the incidence of prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), defined as >1.4×ULN, was 3 (8%) patients in the ANDEMBRY group compared to 0 patients in the placebo group. Additionally, the incidence of prolonged prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR), defined as >1.3× ULN, was 6 (15%) patients in the ANDEMBRY group compared to 1 (4%) patient in the placebo group. None of the increases in aPTT, PT and INR were associated with bleeding events [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    7.1 Drug Interference with Laboratory Test

    Coagulation Tests

    ANDEMBRY can prolong activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) due to an interaction of garadacimab-gxii with the aPTT assay. The reagents used in the aPTT laboratory test initiate intrinsic coagulation through the activation of FXII in the contact system, therefore inhibition of plasma FXIIa by ANDEMBRY can prolong aPTT in this assay [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    There are no available data on ANDEMBRY use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Monoclonal antibodies such as garadacimab-gxii are transported across the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy; therefore, potential effects on a fetus are likely to be greater during the third trimester of pregnancy. In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits, garadacimab-gxii produced no evidence of fetal harm at doses up to approximately 100 times the exposure achieved at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 200 mg once monthly. In a pre- and post-natal development study in rabbits, garadacimab-gxii had no effects on survival, growth, or development of F1 offspring at doses resulting in approximately 76 times the exposure achieved at the MRHD (see Data).

    The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. 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.

    Data

    Animal Data

    In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits dosed by the intravenous route every 3 days during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6 to 18, garadacimab-gxii produced no evidence of fetal harm or maternal toxicity at doses resulting in approximately 100 times the exposure achieved at the MRHD (on an AUC basis with maternal intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg/dose).

    In a pre- and post-natal development study in rabbits dosed by the intravenous or subcutaneous route once every 5 days from the end of implantation (Gestation Day 7) to postpartum day 38 (end of the lactation period), garadacimab-gxii had no effects on survival, growth, or development of F1 offspring at doses resulting in approximately 76 times the exposure achieved at the MRHD (on an AUC basis with a maternal intravenous dose of 100 mg/kg/dose). There was no evidence of maternal toxicity.

    Garadacimab-gxii crossed the placenta in rabbits. With a maternal dose of 100 mg/kg garadacimab-gxii on gestation day 29, fetal plasma concentrations were 40.8% of maternal concentrations following subcutaneous administration and approximately equivalent following intravenous administration.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    There are no data on the presence of garadacimab-gxii or its metabolite in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to garadacimab-gxii are unknown.

    The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for ANDEMBRY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from ANDEMBRY or the underlying maternal condition.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of ANDEMBRY for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of HAE have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. Use of ANDEMBRY for this indication is supported by evidence from a total of 6 pediatric patients aged 12 years and older enrolled in VANGUARD who received treatment with ANDEMBRY 400 mg loading dose administered subcutaneously followed by a maintenance dosage of 200 mg subcutaneously every month (n=4) or placebo (n=2). Results of the subgroup analysis for pediatric patients aged 12 years and older were consistent with study results for adult patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14)].

    The safety and effectiveness of ANDEMBRY have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Of the total number of ANDEMBRY-treated patients in the clinical study for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of HAE, 6 (9%) were 65 years of age and older [see Clinical Studies (14)]. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of ANDEMBRY have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3), and Clinical Studies (14)].

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Garadacimab-gxii, an activated Factor XII (FXIIa) inhibitor, is a recombinant, fully human, monoclonal antibody (IgG4/λ-light chain) produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Based on the amino acid sequence, the molecular weight of garadacimab-gxii is approximately 148 kDa.

    ANDEMBRY (garadacimab-gxii) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, slightly opalescent to clear, brownish-yellow to yellow solution for subcutaneous use.

    Each 1.2 mL prefilled autoinjector or prefilled syringe with needle safety device of ANDEMBRY contains 200 mg of garadacimab-gxii, arginine monohydrochloride (37.9 mg), histidine (3.7 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.24 mg), proline (19.3 mg), and water for injection, USP. The pH is 6.1.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Garadacimab-gxii is an inhibitor of activated FXII that binds to the catalytic domain of activated Factor XII (FXIIa and βFXIIa) and inhibits its catalytic activity. FXII is the first factor activated in the contact activation pathway and initiates the inflammatory bradykinin-producing kallikrein-kinin system. The inhibition of FXIIa decreases the activation of prekallikrein to kallikrein and the generation of bradykinin, which is associated with inflammation and swelling in HAE attacks, thus reducing the cascade of events leading to an HAE attack.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Garadacimab-gxii concentration-dependent inhibition of FXIIa-mediated kallikrein activity was observed in patients with HAE. Inhibition of FXIIa-mediated kallikrein activity was observed after the first dose.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    The pharmacokinetics of garadacimab-gxii are provided in Table 2 following subcutaneous administration of a single 200 mg dose to healthy volunteers and are presented as mean (SD), unless otherwise specified.

    Specific Populations

    No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of garadacimab-gxii were observed based on age (age range: 12 to 73 years), gender, race, body weight (range: 43 to 153 kg), and mild to moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m2). The effect of severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) on garadacimab-gxii pharmacokinetics is unknown.

    Pediatric Patients

    No clinically significant difference in garadacimab-gxii Cmax and AUCtau was observed between pediatric patients (age range: 12 to 17 years) and adults who received the recommended dosage of garadacimab-gxii (200 mg of garadacimab-gxii once monthly).

    Drug Interactions

    No dedicated drug interaction studies have been conducted in humans.

    12.6 Immunogenicity

    The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of garadacimab-gxii or other garadacimab products.

    In VANGUARD, 2.6% (1/39) of patients who received garadacimab-gxii tested positive for anti- garadacimab-antibodies during the 6-month treatment period.

    The development of ADA against garadacimab-gxii did not affect pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, or clinical response.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Animal studies have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential of garadacimab-gxii.

    Fertility and reproductive performance were unaffected in sexually mature male and female rabbits that received garadacimab-gxii at intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg once every three days (resulting in exposures in male and female rabbits up to approximately 100 and 80 times the MRHD on an AUC basis).

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    The efficacy of ANDEMBRY for prophylaxis to prevent hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks was evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study (VANGUARD [NCT04656418]) of 6 months duration.

    VANGUARD enrolled a total of 64 adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with Type I or Type II HAE who experienced at least 2 investigator-confirmed HAE attacks over a 2-month period prior to treatment with ANDEMBRY or placebo. Patients were randomized in a 3:2 ratio (ANDEMBRY:placebo) to receive an initial loading dose of ANDEMBRY 400 mg administered subcutaneously followed by a maintenance dose of 200 mg every month, or matched placebo. Patients were required to discontinue other prophylactic HAE medications prior to entering the study. All patients were allowed to use on-demand medications for the treatment of HAE attacks during the study.

    The demographics and baseline characteristics of patients in VANGUARD are provided in Table 3.

    The monthly rate of HAE attacks requiring on-demand therapy and the monthly rate of moderate or severe HAE attacks were assessed as secondary endpoints in VANGUARD. There was a 91.2% reduction with ANDEMBRY relative to placebo in the monthly rate of HAE attacks requiring on-demand therapy and a 93.6% reduction with ANDEMBRY relative to placebo in the monthly rate of moderate or severe HAE attacks.

    Additional secondary endpoints assessed the proportion of patients with a ≥50%, ≥70%, ≥90%, and 100% (attack-free) reduction in monthly HAE attack rate from the first dose through the end of the 6-month treatment period compared to the 2-month period prior to treatment. The proportion of patients with a ≥50%, ≥70%, ≥90%, and 100% reduction was 95%, 92%, 74%, and 62% on ANDEMBRY versus 33%, 17%, 8%, and 0% on placebo, respectively.

    • Check the expiration date on the autoinjector label (see Figure D).
    • Do not use the autoinjector if the expiration date has passed.
    • If the expiration date has passed, then safely dispose of the autoinjector and get a new one (see Step 11. Disposing of the Autoinjector).
    Figure D
    Figure D

    Step 3. Inspect the autoinjector and the medicine

    • Check the autoinjector for damage.
    • Check the medicine through the viewing window of the autoinjector (see Figure E).
    • It is normal to see air bubbles, do not try to remove the air bubbles.
    • The medicine should be brownish-yellow to yellow and may appear slightly opalescent to clear.
    • Do not use the autoinjector, safely dispose and get a new one (see Step 11. Disposing of the Autoinjector) if:
      • The medicine is discolored or contains particles
      • The autoinjector looks damaged or has cracks
      • The autoinjector is leaking
      • The autoinjector has been dropped on a hard surface, even if it does not look damaged

    Choose and Prepare an Injection Site

    Step 4. Clean your Hands

    • Wash your hands well with soap and water or use hand sanitizer (see Figure F).
    Figure F
    Figure F

    Step 5. Select the Injection Site

    • Inject into the thigh or belly (abdomen) area, but stay 1 inch (2 cm) away from the belly button (navel) (see Figure G)
    • If somebody else (caregiver) gives you the injection, they can also use the upper arm. Do not try to inject into the upper arm yourself.
    • Change (rotate) your injection site with each injection. Do not inject in the same place multiple times if the skin is damaged.
    • Do not inject into the belly button, moles, scars or bruises, or into areas where the skin is tender, red, hard, or injured.
    Figure G
    Figure G

    Step 6. Prepare the Injection Site

    • Clean the injection site with an alcohol pad (see Figure H).
    • Let your skin dry on its own.
    • Do not touch this area again before injecting.
    • Do not fan or blow on the skin area that you cleaned.

    Injecting the Medicine with the Autoinjector

    Complete the Injection without stopping. Read all steps first before beginning.

    Do not remove the Clear Cap until you are ready to inject.

    Step 7. Remove Clear Autoinjector Cap and Dispose of the Cap

    • Hold the autoinjector with one hand and pull the Clear Autoinjector Cap straight off with the other hand.
    • Do not twist the Clear Cap, (see Figure I). If you cannot remove the Clear Cap, ask a caregiver for help or contact your healthcare provider.
    • The Clear Cap has a metal part inside, this is normal.
    • Do not put the Clear Cap back on after it has been removed, because this could start the injection and cause injury.
    • Dispose of the Clear Cap in an FDA-cleared sharps container.

    Important:

    • Do not touch the gray needle shield of the autoinjector to avoid injury.
    • Do not put the autoinjector down after removing the Clear Cap.
    Figure I
    Figure I

    Step 8. Pinch the Skin and place the autoinjector on the injection site

    Immediately after removing the clear autoinjector cap, complete the following steps without stopping:

    • Gently pinch the area of cleaned skin around the injection site and hold the area firmly until the injection is complete (see Figure J).
    • Place the autoinjector at a 90° angle on the cleaned injection site (see Figure J).
    • Make sure you can see the viewing window.
    Figure J
    Figure J
    Step 9. Inject Medicine (see Figure K)
    ImageYou Must Read all of Step 9 before injecting.
    The injection may take up to 15 seconds.
    To ensure you receive a full dose you must keep the autoinjector firmly pressed against your pinched skin until:
    • - The yellow plunger has stopped moving and filled the viewing window, and
    • - 5 seconds has passed after the 2nd "Click."
    Figure K
    Press the gray needle shield down firmly against the pinched skin to start the injection and keep pressing down until all the steps below are complete.

    Figure K
    Press down to start the injection and listen for a First 'Click'.
    • The First "Click" means the injection has started.
    • The yellow plunger will start moving in the viewing window.
    		Keep pressing the autoinjector down and watch the viewing window.
    • The window will turn yellow and
    • You will hear a Second 'Click'.
    		Keep pressing the autoinjector down for 5 more seconds to make sure you get the full dose.
    Make sure the yellow plunger completely fills the window and has stopped moving before you remove the autoinjector.
    Keep pressing the autoinjector down.Keep pressing the autoinjector down.
    • Do not remove the autoinjector until the yellow plunger has stopped moving and completely filled the viewing window, and 5 seconds has passed after the Second "Click."
    • Do not remove, tilt, or rotate the autoinjector during the injection.

    Step 10. Release the Pinch and Remove the Autoinjector

    • Release the pinch and remove the autoinjector at a 90° angle from the skin (see Figure L).
    • As the autoinjector is lifted from the skin, the gray needle shield returns to the original (before use) position, and will lock into place, covering the needle.
    Figure L
    Figure L

    Important: If you think that you have not received the full dose, contact your healthcare provider right away.

    • If there is a little bleeding at the injection site, you can press a cotton ball or gauze over the injection site.
    • Do not rub the injection site.
    • If needed, you may cover the injection site with a small adhesive bandage.

    Disposal

    Step 11. Disposing of the autoinjector

    • Do not try to reuse the autoinjector.
    • After injecting your dose, put the autoinjector into an FDA-cleared sharps container or closed puncture-resistant container (see Figure M).
    Figure M
    Figure M
    • If you do not have an FDA-cleared sharps container, you may use a household container that is:
      • Made of heavy-duty plastic
      • Can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out
      • Upright stable during use
      • Leak-resistant
      • Properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container
    • When your sharps container is almost full, you will need to follow your local guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away used needles and syringes. For more information, go to the FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal.
    • Do not dispose of your used sharps container in your household trash unless your local guidelines permit this.
    • Do not recycle your used sharps container.

    Step 12. Keep Track of Your Treatment

    • If required by your healthcare provider, record your injection in a diary to help keep track of your medicine.
