PANZYGA, Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) - ifas 10% Liquid Preparation
WARNING: THROMBOSIS, RENAL DYSFUNCTION, and ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
BOXED WARNING SECTION
Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) products, including PANZYGA. Risk factors may include: advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors. (See WARNING and PRECAUTIONS [ 5.4 ], PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION [ 17 ]) Renal dysfunction, acute renal failure, osmotic nephrosis, and death may occur in predisposed patients who receive IGIV products, including PANZYGA. Patients predisposed to renal dysfunction include those with a degree of pre-existing renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, age greater than 65, volume depletion, sepsis, paraproteinemia, or patients receiving known nephrotoxic drugs. Renal dysfunction and acute renal failure occur more commonly in patients receiving IGIV product containing sucrose. PANZYGA does not contain sucrose. For patients at risk of thrombosis, renal dysfunction or acute renal failure, administer PANZYGA at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity. (See DOSAGE and ADMINISTRATION [ 2.3 ], WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS [ 5.2 , 5.4 ])

PI: The most common adverse reactions observed at a rate of more than 5% in subjects in clinical trials were: headache, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and fatigue. Chronic ITP in adults: The most common adverse reactions observed at a rate of more than 5% in subjects in clinical trials were: headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and anemia.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION
Clinical studies have not evaluated mixtures of PANZYGA with other drugs and intravenous solutions. It is recommended that PANZYGA is administered separately from other drugs or medications which the patient may be receiving. Do not mix the product. Do not mix PANZYGA with IGIVs from other manufacturers. Passively transferred antibodies in immunoglobulin preparations can confound the results of serological testing, e.g. false positive Treponema pallidum testing might occur. Antibodies in PANZYGA may interfere with the response to live viral vaccines, such as measles, mumps, and rubella. Inform physicians of recent therapy with PANZYGA, so that administration of live viral vaccines, if indicated, can be appropriately delayed for 3 or more months from the time of PANZYGA administration.

10 OVERDOSAGE
OVERDOSAGE SECTION
With intravenous administration, overdose may lead to fluid overload and hyperviscosity. Patients at risk of complications of fluid overload and hyperviscosity include elderly patients and those with cardiac or renal impairment.
11 DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION SECTION
Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), PANZYGA, is a solvent/detergent (S/D)-treated, sterile preparation of highly purified immunoglobulin G (IgG) derived from large pools of human plasma. PANZYGA is a solution for infusion to be administered intravenously. This preparation contains approximately 100 mg of protein per mL (10%), of which not less than 96% is normal human immunoglobulin G. PANZYGA contains not more than 3% aggregates, not less than 94% monomers and dimers, and not more than 4% fragments. On average, the product contains 100 µg/mL of IgA, and lower amounts of IgM. PANZYGA contains only trace amounts of sodium, and the pH is between 4.5 and 5.0. The osmolality is in the range of 240-310 mosmol/kg. The manufacturing process for PANZYGA isolates IgG without additional chemical or enzymatic modification, and the Fc portion is maintained intact. PANZYGA contains the IgG antibody activities present in the donor population. IgG subclasses are fully represented with the following approximate percents of total IgG: IgG 1 is 65%, IgG 2 is 28%, IgG 3 is 3% and IgG 4 is 4%. PANZYGA contains a broad spectrum of IgG antibodies against bacterial and viral agents that are capable of opsonization and neutralization of microbes and toxins. PANZYGA contains glycine (15.0-19.5 mg/mL), but no preservatives or sucrose. All units of human plasma used in the manufacture of PANZYGA are provided by FDA-approved blood and plasma establishments, and are tested by FDA-licensed serological tests for HBsAg, antibodies to HCV and HIV and Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) for HCV and HIV1 and found to be non-reactive (negative). The product is manufactured by the cold ethanol fractionation process followed by purification methodologies, as well as S/D treatment and nanofiltration (20 nm). The S/D mixture used is composed of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TNBP, solvent) and Triton X-100 (Octoxynol, detergent). The PANZYGA manufacturing process shows significant viral reduction and inactivation, demonstrated by in vitro infectivity studies ( Table 4 ). The virus safety of PANZYGA is achieved through a combination of various process steps, including S/D treatment, ion-exchange chromatography, and nanofiltration (20 nm). Table 4 shows the virus clearance during the manufacturing process for PANZYGA, expressed as the mean log 10 reduction factor (LRF). Table 4: Virus Reduction by PANZYGA Manufacturing Process HIV-1: Human Immunodeficiency Virus – 1, a model for HIV-1 and HIV-2; PRV: Pseudorabies Virus, a model for large enveloped DNA viruses (e.g., herpes virus); BVDV: Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus, a model for e.g., Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and West-Nile virus (WNV); MEV: Mouse Encephalomyelitis virus, a model for Hepatitis A virus (HAV); PPV: Porcine Parvovirus, a model for Human Parvovirus B19; n.a.: not applicable; n.d: not done. Additionally, the manufacturing process was investigated for its capacity to decrease the infectivity of an experimental agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), considered as a model for the vCJD and CJD agents. [ 10 ] Several of the individual production steps in the PANZYGA manufacturing process were shown to decrease TSE infectivity of that experimental model agent. TSE reduction steps include ion-exchange chromatography and nanofiltration, which together give a total of at least 10.4 log10 decrease of infectivity. These studies provide reasonable assurance that low levels of CJD/vCJD agent infectivity, if present in the starting material, would be removed.
