Drug Details [pdf]

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    Injectafer is indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients:

    • who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron, or
    • who have non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease.
  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Recommended Dosage

    Recommended dosage for patients weighing 50 kg (110 lb) or more:  Give Injectafer in two doses separated by at least 7 days.  Give each dose as 750 mg for a total cumulative dose not to exceed 1500 mg of iron per course.

    Recommended dosage for patients weighing less than 50 kg (110 lb):  Give Injectafer in two doses separated by at least 7 days. Give each dose as 15 mg/kg body weight for a total cumulative dose not to exceed 1500 mg of iron per course.

    Each mL of Injectafer contains 50 mg of elemental iron.

    2.2 Preparation and Administration

    Administer Injectafer intravenously, either as an undiluted slow intravenous push or by infusion.  When administered via infusion, dilute up to 750 mg of iron in no more than 250 mL of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP, such that the concentration of the infusion is not less than 2 mg of iron per mL and administer over at least 15 minutes.

    When added to an infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP, at concentrations ranging from 2 mg to 4 mg of iron per mL, Injectafer solution is physically and chemically stable for 72 hours when stored at room temperature.  To maintain stability, do not dilute to concentrations less than 2 mg iron/mL.

    Inspect parenteral drug products visually for the absence of particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.  The product contains no preservatives. Each vial of Injectafer is intended for single-dose only.

    When administering as a slow intravenous push, give at the rate of approximately 100 mg (2 mL) per minute.  Avoid extravasation of Injectafer since brown discoloration of the extravasation site may be long lasting.  Monitor for extravasation.  If extravasation occurs, discontinue the Injectafer administration at that site.

    Discard unused portion.

    2.3  Repeat Treatment Monitoring Safety Assessment

    Injectafer treatment may be repeated if iron deficiency anemia reoccurs.  Monitor serum phosphate levels in patients at risk for low serum phosphate who require a repeat course of treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    Injection: 750 mg iron / 15 mL single-dose vial.

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Injectafer is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Injectafer or any of its components [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions

    Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic-type reactions, some of which have been life-threatening and fatal, have been reported in patients receiving Injectafer. Patients may present with shock, clinically significant hypotension, loss of consciousness, and/or collapse. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity during and after Injectafer administration for at least 30 minutes and until clinically stable following completion of the infusion. Only administer Injectafer when personnel and therapies are immediately available for the treatment of serious hypersensitivity reactions. [see Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)].  In clinical trials, serious anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions were reported in 0.1% (2/1775) of subjects receiving Injectafer. Other serious or severe adverse reactions potentially associated with hypersensitivity which included, but not limited to, pruritus, rash, urticaria, wheezing, or hypotension were reported in 1.5% (26/1775) of these subjects.

    5.2  Symptomatic Hypophosphatemia

    Symptomatic hypophosphatemia requiring clinical intervention has been reported in patients at risk of low serum phosphate in the postmarketing setting.  These cases have occurred mostly after repeated exposure to Injectafer in patients with no reported history of renal impairment. Possible risk factors for hypophosphatemia include a history of gastrointestinal disorders associated with malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins or phosphate, concurrent or prior use of medications that affect proximal renal tubular function, hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency and malnutrition.  In most cases, hypophosphatemia resolved within three months.

    Monitor serum phosphate levels in patients at risk for low serum phosphate who require a repeat course of treatment. [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

    5.3 Hypertension

    In clinical studies, hypertension was reported in 3.8% (67/1,775) of subjects in clinical trials 1 and 2. Transient elevations in systolic blood pressure, sometimes occurring with facial flushing, dizziness, or nausea were observed in 6% (106/1,775) of subjects in these two clinical trials. These elevations generally occurred immediately after dosing and resolved within 30 minutes.   Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypertension following each Injectafer administration [see Dosage and Administration (2)].

    5.4 Laboratory Test Alterations

    In the 24 hours following administration of Injectafer, laboratory assays may overestimate serum iron and transferrin bound iron by also measuring the iron in Injectafer.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling:

    • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
    • Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
    • Laboratory Test Alterations [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]

    6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

    Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed cannot be directly compared to rates in other clinical trials and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

    In two randomized clinical studies [Studies 1 and 2, see Clinical Studies (14)], a total of 1,775 patients were exposed to Injectafer 15 mg/kg body weight up to a maximum single dose of 750 mg of iron on two occasions separated by at least 7 days up to a cumulative dose of 1500 mg of iron.

    Adverse reactions reported by ≥1% of treated patients are shown in the following table.

    6.2 Post-marketing Experience

    The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of Injectafer. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

    The following adverse reactions have been reported from the post-marketing spontaneous reports with Injectafer:  urticaria, dyspnea, pruritus, tachycardia, erythema, pyrexia, chest discomfort, chills, angioedema, back pain, arthralgia, and syncope. One case of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia was reported in a subject who received 500 mg of Injectafer every 2 weeks for a total of 16 weeks.  Partial recovery followed discontinuation of Injectafer. 

    • Cardiac disorders: Tachycardia
    • General disorders and administration site conditions: Chest discomfort, chills, pyrexia
    • Metabolism and nutrition disorders: Hypophosphatemia

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    Published studies on the use of ferric carboxymaltose in pregnant women have not reported an association with ferric carboxymaltose and adverse developmental outcomes. However, these studies cannot establish or exclude the absence of any drug-related risk during pregnancy because the studies were not designed to assess for the risk of major birth defects (see Data). There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with untreated iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations).

    In animal reproduction studies, administration of ferric carboxymaltose to rabbits during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes including fetal malformations and increased implantation loss at maternally toxic doses of approximately 12% to 23% of the human weekly dose of 750 mg (based on body surface area).   

    The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically-recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

    Clinical Considerations

    Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk
    Untreated iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal outcomes such as post-partum anemia.  Adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with iron deficiency anemia include increased risk for preterm delivery and low birth weight.

    Data
    Human Data

    Published data from randomized controlled studies, prospective observational studies and retrospective studies on the use of ferric carboxymaltose in pregnant women have not reported an association with ferric carboxymaltose and adverse developmental outcomes.  However, these studies cannot establish or exclude the absence of any drug-related risk during pregnancy because of methodological limitations, including that the studies were not primarily designed to capture safety data nor designed to assess the risk of major birth defects.  Maternal adverse events reported in these studies are similar to those reported during clinical trials in adult males and non-pregnant females [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].  

    Animal Data

    Administration of ferric carboxymaltose to rats as an one-hour intravenous infusion up to 30 mg/kg/day iron on gestation days 6 to 17 did not result in adverse embryonic or fetal findings.  This daily dose in rats is approximately 40% of the human weekly dose of 750 mg based on body surface area.  In rabbits, ferric carboxymaltose was administered as a one-hour infusion on gestation days 6 to 19 at iron doses of 4.5, 9, 13.5, and 18 mg/kg/day.  Malformations were seen starting at the daily dose of 9 mg/kg (23% of the human weekly dose of 750 mg).  Spontaneous abortions occurred starting at the daily iron dose of 4.5 mg/kg (12% of the human weekly dose based on body surface area).  Pre-implantation loss was at the highest dose.  Adverse embryonic or fetal effects were observed in the presence of maternal toxicity.

    A pre- and post-natal development study was conducted in rats at intravenous doses up to 18 mg/kg/day of iron (approximately 23% of the weekly human dose of 750 mg on a body surface area basis).  There were no adverse effects on survival of offspring, their behavior, sexual maturation or reproductive parameters.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    The available published data on the use of ferric carboxymaltose in lactating women demonstrate that iron is present in breast milk.  However, the data do not inform the full potential exposure of iron for the breastfed infant. Among the breastfed infants, there were no adverse events reported that were considered related to ferric carboxymaltose exposure through breastmilk. There is no information on the effects of ferric carboxymaltose on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Injectafer in addition to any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition.

    Clinical Considerations

    Monitor breastfed infants for gastrointestinal toxicity (constipation, diarrhea).

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Of the 1775 subjects in clinical studies of Injectafer, 50% were 65 years and over, while 25% were 75 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    Excessive dosages of Injectafer may lead to accumulation of iron in storage sites potentially leading to hemosiderosis. A patient who received Injectafer 18,000 mg over 6 months developed hemosiderosis with multiple joint disorder, walking disability, and asthenia. Hypophosphatemic osteomalacia was reported in a patient who received Injectafer 4000 mg over 4 months. Partial recovery followed discontinuation of Injectafer.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Ferric carboxymaltose, an iron replacement product, is an iron carbohydrate complex with the chemical name of polynuclear iron (III) hydroxide 4(R)-(poly-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-oxy-2(R),3(S),5(R),6-tetrahydroxy-hexanoate. It has a relative molecular weight of approximately 150,000 Da corresponding to the following empirical formula:

    [FeOx(OH)y(H2O)z]n [{(C6H10O5)m (C6H12O7)}l]k, 

    where n ≈ 103, m ≈ 8, l ≈ 11, and k ≈ 4
    (l represents the mean branching degree of the ligand).

    The chemical structure is presented below:

    Chemical Structure

    Injectafer (ferric carboxymaltose injection) is a dark brown, sterile, aqueous, isotonic colloidal solution for intravenous injection. Each mL contains 50 mg iron as ferric carboxymaltose in water for injection.  Injectafer is available in 15 mL single-dose vials.  Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may have been added to adjust the pH to 5.0-7.0.

    Vial closure is not made with natural rubber latex.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Ferric carboxymaltose is a colloidal iron (III) hydroxide in complex with carboxymaltose, a carbohydrate polymer that releases iron.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Using positron emission tomography (PET) it was demonstrated that red cell uptake of 59Fe and 52Fe from Injectafer ranged from 61% to 99%. In patients with iron deficiency, red cell uptake of radio-labeled iron ranged from 91% to 99% at 24 days after Injectafer dose. In patients with renal anemia, red cell uptake of radio-labeled iron ranged from 61% to 84% at 24 days after Injectafer dose.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    After administration of a single dose of Injectafer of 100 to 1000 mg of iron in iron deficient patients, maximum iron concentration of 37 µg/mL to 333 µg/mL were obtained respectively after 15 minutes to 1.21 hours post dose. The volume of distribution was estimated to be 3 L.

    The iron injected or infused was rapidly cleared from the plasma, the terminal half-life ranged from 7 to 12 hours. Renal elimination of iron was negligible.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenicity studies have not been performed with ferric carboxymaltose.

    Ferric carboxymaltose was not genotoxic in the following genetic toxicology studies: in vitro microbial mutagenesis (Ames) assay, in vitro chromosome aberration test in human lymphocytes, in vitro mammalian cell mutation assay in mouse lymphoma L5178Y/TK+/- cells, in vivo mouse micronucleus test at single intravenous doses up to 500 mg/kg. 

    In a combined male and female fertility study, ferric carboxymaltose was administered intravenously over one hour to male and female rats at iron doses of up to 30 mg/kg.  Animals were dosed 3 times per week (on Days 0, 3, and 7).  There was no effect on mating function, fertility or early embryonic development. The dose of 30 mg/kg in animals is approximately 40% of the human dose of 750 mg based on body surface area.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    14.1 Trial 1: Iron Deficiency Anemia in Patients Who Are Intolerant to Oral Iron or Have Had Unsatisfactory Response to Oral Iron

    The safety and efficacy of Injectafer for treatment of iron deficiency anemia were evaluated in two randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2). In these two trials, Injectafer was administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight up to a maximum single dose of 750 mg of iron on two occasions separated by at least 7 days up to a cumulative dose of 1500 mg of iron.

    Trial 1: A Multi-center, Randomized, Active Controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) in Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), (NCT00982007) was a randomized, open-label, controlled clinical study in patients with iron deficiency anemia who had an unsatisfactory response to oral iron (Cohort 1) or who were intolerant to oral iron (Cohort 2) during the 14-day oral iron run-in period. Inclusion criteria prior to randomization included hemoglobin (Hb) <12 g/dL, ferritin ≤100 ng/mL or ferritin ≤300 ng/mL when transferrin saturation (TSAT) ≤30%. Cohort 1 subjects were randomized to Injectafer or oral iron for 14 more days.  Cohort 2 subjects were randomized to Injectafer or another IV iron per standard of care [90% of subjects received iron sucrose]. The mean age of study patients was 43 years (range, 18 to 94); 94% were female; 42% were Caucasian, 32% were African American, 24% were Hispanic, and 2% were other races. The primary etiologies of iron deficiency anemia were heavy uterine bleeding (47%) and gastrointestinal disorders (17%).
