Alhemo

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Alhemo is indicated for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with: • hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency) with or without FVIII inhibitors • hemophilia B (congenital factor IX deficiency) with or without FIX inhibitors Alhemo is a tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) antagonist indicated for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with: • hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency) with or without FVIII inhibitors • hemophilia B (congenital factor IX deficiency) with or without FIX inhibitors ( 1 )

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administer Alhemo by subcutaneous injection to the abdomen or thigh with daily rotation of injection sites. ( 2.2 ) Recommended dosing regimen: • Day 1: Loading dose of 1 mg/kg • Day 2: Once daily dose of 0.2 mg/kg until individualization of maintenance dose ( 2.1 ) o 4 weeks after initiation of treatment: For dose optimization, measure concizumab‐mtci plasma concentration by Concizumab Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) prior to administration of next scheduled dose using an FDA-authorized test for the measurement of concizumab-mtci concentration in plasma. See full Prescribing Information for important preparation and administration instructions and dosage adjustment. ( 2.1 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage For subcutaneous use only. Alhemo should be administered once daily. Avoid missed doses. Recommended dosing regimen: • Day 1: Loading dose of 1 mg/kg • Day 2: Once daily dose of 0.2 mg/kg until individualization of maintenance dose (see below) • 4 weeks after initiation of treatment: For dose optimization measure concizumab-mtci plasma concentration by Concizumab Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) prior to administration of next scheduled dose using an FDA-authorized test. Information on the FDA-authorized test for the measurement of concizumab-mtci plasma concentration is available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/denovo.cfm. Once the concizumab-mtci concentration result is available, individualize the maintenance dose of Alhemo no later than 8 weeks after initiation of treatment, based on the following concizumab-mtci plasma concentrations: o Less than 200 ng/mL: adjust to a once daily dose of 0.25 mg/kg o 200 to 4,000 ng/mL: continue once daily dose of 0.2 mg/kg o Greater than 4,000 ng/mL: adjust to a once daily dose of 0.15 mg/kg The calculated dose is rounded off to the nearest injectable dose as follows: • 60 mg/1.5 mL (40 mg/mL) in increments of 0.4 mg (brown label) • 150 mg/1.5 mL (100 mg/mL) in increments of 1 mg (gold label) • 300 mg/3 mL (100 mg/mL) in increments of 1 mg (white label) Additional measurements of concizumab-mtci plasma concentration should be taken at routine clinical follow-ups provided the patient has been on the same maintenance dose for 8 weeks of treatment to ensure steady state plasma concentration. Maintenance of concizumab plasma concentration above 200 ng/mL is important to decrease the risk of bleeding episodes. If concizumab-mtci plasma concentration remains below 200 ng/mL at two consecutive measurements, evaluate the benefits of continued Alhemo treatment versus the potential risk of bleeding events, and consider alternative therapies if available. As Alhemo is dosed by body weight (mg/kg), it is important to recalculate the dose when patients experience body weight changes. Missed Dose Adherence to daily dosing of Alhemo is important to maintain protection against bleeding. This is especially important during the initial 4 weeks of treatment to ensure a correct maintenance dose is established. Patients who miss a dose during the initial 4-week period should inform their healthcare professional and resume once daily dosing at the initial 0.2 mg/kg dose level. Missed Doses Once the Maintenance Dose Has Been Established The following dosing guidelines should apply ONLY when a patient has forgotten to or neglected to take their once daily maintenance dose: • 1 missed dose: Resume once daily treatment at the maintenance dose level • 2 to 6 missed doses: Resume treatment with a double dose followed by once daily treatment at the maintenance dose level • 7 or more missed doses: Physician should be contacted, and a new loading dose should be considered [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] Management of Breakthrough Bleeds No dose adjustment of Alhemo is required in the case of breakthrough bleeds. Management in the Perioperative Setting No dose adjustment of Alhemo is required in the case of minor surgeries. As there …

The data in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to Alhemo based on pooled data from clinical trials explorer3 (phase 1b), explorer4 (phase 2), explorer5 (phase 2), explorer7 (phase 3) and explorer8 (phase 3), in which a total of 320 male patients with hemophilia A with and without inhibitors and hemophilia B with and without inhibitors received at least one dose of Alhemo as routine prophylaxis. The patients were exposed for a total of 475 exposure years. Patients with HAwI (hemophilia A with inhibitors) and HBwI (hemophilia B with inhibitors) The data described below reflect exposure of 52 patients with HAwI and HBwI who were previously treated on-demand therapy and who were randomized in explorer7 to arm 1 to receive on- demand treatment with bypassing agents (n = 19) or arm 2 to receive Alhemo prophylaxis (n = 33) at the recommended dosing regimen [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . The median duration of treatment was 31.1 weeks (range 3.9, 72.9 weeks) in arm 1 (on-demand arm) and 40.1 weeks (range 3.1, 56.3 weeks) in arm 2 (Alhemo prophylaxis). Serious adverse reactions were reported in 6.1% of patients who received Alhemo. These serious adverse reactions were renal infarct and hypersensitivity reaction. Permanent discontinuation of Alhemo due to an adverse reaction occurred in 1 patient due to a renal infarct. Dosage interruptions of Alhemo due to an adverse reaction occurred in 1 patient (3%) and was a hypersensitivity reaction. The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) were injection site reactions and urticaria (see Table 1 ). Table 1.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Breakthrough Bleeding Treatment: While treatment with all bypassing agents (e.g., rFVIIa or aPCC) can be used for breakthrough bleeds, high and/or frequent doses of FVIII, FIX, or bypassing agents with Alhemo increases the risk of thromboembolism. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Breakthrough Bleeding Treatment Take appropriate precautions when treating breakthrough bleeding events in hemophilia patients receiving Alhemo prophylaxis and FVIII or FIX or a bypassing agent [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . For mild and moderate bleeds that require additional treatment with FVIII or FIX or bypassing agents (e.g., rFVIIa or aPCC), the lowest-approved dose in the approved product labeling is recommended. For aPCC, a maximum dose of 100 units/kg body weight within 24 hours is recommended. For severe bleeds, follow the dosing instructions provided in the approved labeling for the specific product based on clinical judgement. Additive and sometimes synergistic increase in thrombin peak as quantified in the thrombin generation assay has been observed in plasma from hemophilia patients who were on prophylactic treatment with concizumab-mtci with concomitant presence of rFVIII, rFIX or bypassing agents including rFVIIa and aPCC [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] .

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, Alhemo may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are no available data on Alhemo use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Alhemo. Although there are no data on concizumab-mtci, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta, and concizumab-mtci may cause fetal harm. It is unknown whether Alhemo can affect reproductive capacity. Alhemo should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit for the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. The estimated background risk of birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population 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 defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of Alhemo in either human or animal milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Clinical Considerations Human IgGs are known to be excreted in breast milk during the first few days after birth, decreasing to low concentrations soon afterwards; consequently, a risk to the breast-fed infant cannot be excluded during this short period. Afterwards, Alhemo could be used during breast-feeding if clinically needed. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential. Contraception Women of childbearing potential should use a highly effective form of contraception during treatment with Alhemo and for 7 weeks after ending treatment. The benefits and thromboembolic risks of the type of contraceptives used should be evaluated by the treating physician. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Alhemo for hemophilia A and B with and without inhibitors have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. Use of Alhemo for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) and Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . The safety and effectiveness of Alhemo for hemophilia A and B with and without inhibitors have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of Alhemo did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients. 8.6 Body Weight The exposure of concizumab-mtci increased with increasing body weight [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . However, patients should receive the approved recommended Alhemo dosage titration and concizumab-mtci plasma concentration monitoring regardless of body weight [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] .

12.1 Mechanism of Action Concizumab-mtci is a monoclonal antibody antagonist of endogenous Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI). Through the inhibition of TFPI, concizumab-mtci acts to enhance FXa production during the initiation phase of coagulation which leads to improved thrombin generation and clot formation with the goal of achieving hemostasis in patients with Hemophilia A or B regardless of their inhibitor status. The effect of concizumab-mtci is not influenced by the presence of inhibitory antibodies to FVIII or FIX. There is no structural relationship or sequence homology between concizumab-mtci and FVIII or FIX and, as such, treatment with concizumab-mtci does not induce or enhance the development of direct inhibitors to FVIII or FIX.
