( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Vaccination Because RYSTIGGO causes transient reduction in IgG levels, immunization with live-attenuated or live vaccines is not recommended during treatment with RYSTIGGO. Evaluate the need to administer age-appropriate immunizations according to immunization guidelines before initiation of a new treatment cycle with RYSTIGGO [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of RYSTIGGO is based on body weight, as shown below in Table 1. Table 1: Recommended Dose Based on Body Weight Body Weight of Patient Dose Volume to be Infused Less than 50 kg 420 mg 3 mL 50 kg to less than 100 kg 560 mg 4 mL 100 kg and above 840 mg 6 mL Administer the recommended dosage as a subcutaneous infusion using an infusion pump at a rate of up to 20 mL/hour once weekly for 6 weeks. For detailed preparation and administration instructions, see Preparation and Administration Instructions (2.3) . Administer subsequent treatment cycles based on clinical evaluation. The safety of initiating subsequent cycles sooner than 63 days from the start of the previous treatment cycle has not been established. If a scheduled dose is missed, RYSTIGGO may be administered up to 4 days after the scheduled time point. Thereafter, resume the original dosing schedule until the treatment cycle is completed. 2.3 Preparation and Administration Instructions RYSTIGGO should only be prepared and infused by a healthcare provider. RYSTIGGO is for subcutaneous administration only using an infusion pump. Refer to the infusion pump manufacturer's instructions for full preparation and administration information. It is recommended to use pumps where the administered volume can be pre-set as each vial contains excess volume for priming of the infusion line. The following criteria are recommended for administration of RYSTIGGO: Syringe pump occlusion alarm limits should be at the maximum setting Administration tubing length should be 61 cm or shorter Infusion set with a needle of 26 gauge or larger should be used. Read the instructions below before preparing and administering RYSTIGGO solution. Use aseptic technique when preparing and administering RYSTIGGO. Prior to use, allow vials to reach room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. Do not use heating devices. Keep the vial in the original carton to protect from light until ready to use. Do not shake. Vials may be stored at room temperature up to 77°F (25°C) for a single period of up to 20 days in the original carton [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16.2) ]. Infuse RYSTIGGO within 4 hours of puncturing the vial. RYSTIGGO should be administered immediately after priming the infusion set. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. The solution should be colorless to pale brownish-yellow, clear to slightly opalescent. Do not use the vial if the liquid looks cloudy, contains foreign particles, or has changed color. Use transfer needles to fill the syringe. Remove the needle from the syringe and attach the infusion set to the syringe. Follow the device manufacturer's instructions to prepare the pump and prime the tubing. Choose an infusion site in the lo …

Warnings and Cautions
openFDA Drug Labeling5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Infections: Delay administration of RYSTIGGO to patients with an active infection. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection in patients treated with RYSTIGGO. If serious infection occurs, administer appropriate treatment and consider withholding RYSTIGGO until the infection has resolved. ( 5.1 ) Aseptic Meningitis: Serious events of aseptic meningitis have been reported. Monitor for symptoms; diagnostic workup and treatment should be initiated according to the standard of care. ( 5.2 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions: Angioedema and rash have occurred. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue the infusion and institute appropriate therapy. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Infections RYSTIGGO may increase the risk of infection [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Delay RYSTIGGO administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved. During treatment with RYSTIGGO, monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of infection. If serious infection occurs, administer appropriate treatment and consider withholding RYSTIGGO until the infection has resolved. Immunization Immunization with vaccines during RYSTIGGO treatment has not been studied. The safety of immunization with live or live-attenuated vaccines and the response to immunization with any vaccine are unknown. Because RYSTIGGO causes a reduction in IgG levels, vaccination with live-attenuated or live vaccines is not recommended during treatment with RYSTIGGO. Evaluate the need to administer age-appropriate vaccines according to immunization guidelines before initiation of a new treatment cycle with RYSTIGGO. 5.2 Aseptic Meningitis Serious adverse reactions of aseptic meningitis (also called drug-induced aseptic meningitis) have been reported in patients treated with RYSTIGGO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . If symptoms consistent with aseptic meningitis develop, diagnostic workup and treatment should be initiated according to the standard of care. 5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and rash, were observed in patients treated with RYSTIGGO [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Management of hypersensitivity reactions depend on the type and severity of the reaction. Monitor patients during treatment with RYSTIGGO and for 15 minutes after the administration is complete for clinical signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, the healthcare professional should institute appropriate measures if needed or the patient should seek medical attention.
Adverse Reactions
openFDA Drug Labeling6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Aseptic Meningitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) in patients with gMG are headache, infections, diarrhea, pyrexia, hypersensitivity reactions, and nausea. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact UCB, Inc. at 1-844-599-2273 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trial 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. In clinical studies, the safety of RYSTIGGO has been evaluated in 196 patients who received at least one dose of RYSTIGGO, including 88 patients exposed to at least 5 treatment cycles and 9 patients exposed to at least 10 treatment cycles. In a placebo-controlled study (Study 1) in patients with gMG, 133 patients received RYSTIGGO [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Of these 133 patients, approximately 56% were female, 68% were White, 12% were Asian, and 6% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. The mean age at study entry was 52.5 years (range 19 to 89 years). Patients treated with RYSTIGGO received 1 treatment cycle in Study 1. In an extension study, the minimum time for initiating subsequent treatment cycles, specified by study protocol, was 63 days from the start of the previous treatment cycle. Patients treated with RYSTIGGO on average initiated 4 cycles in one year (range 1 to 7 cycles). The median time between start of treatment cycles was 98 days for patients treated with RYSTIGGO who initiated 4 cycles. Adverse reactions reported in at least 5% of patients treated with RYSTIGGO and more frequently than placebo are summarized in Table 2. The most common adverse reactions (reported in at least 10% of patients treated with RYSTIGGO) were headache, infections, diarrhea, pyrexia, hypersensitivity reactions, and nausea. Table 2: Adverse Reactions in at least 5% of Patients Treated with RYSTIGGO and More Frequently than in Patients who Received Placebo in Study 1 (Safety Population) Adverse Reaction RYSTIGGO (N = 133) % Placebo (N = 67) % Headache 44 19 Any infection 23 19 Upper respiratory tract infection 8 6 Diarrhea 20 13 Pyrexia 17 2 Hypersensitivity reactions 11 5 Nausea 10 8 Administration site reactions 8 3 Abdominal pain 8 6 Arthralgia 7 3 Infections In Study 1 and the extension studies, out of 196 patients treated with RYSTIGGO, 94 (48%) patients reported infections. Common infections (at least 5% frequency) were upper respiratory tract infections (17%), COVID-19 (14%), urinary tract infections (9%), and herpes simplex (6%). Serious infections were reported in 4% of patients treated with RYSTIGGO. Three fatal cases of pneumonia were identified caused by COVID-19 infection in two patients and an unknown pathogen in one patient. Six cases of infections led to discontinuation of RYSTIGGO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Aseptic Meningitis In clinical trials, one patient with gMG and two patients with another neurological disease experienced a serious adverse reaction of drug-induced aseptic meningitis, which led to hospitalization and discontinuation of RYSTIGGO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Hypersensitivity Reactions and Administration Site Reactions In clinical trials, hypersensitivity reactions occurred within 1 day to 2 weeks of administration. One patient discontinued RYSTIGGO due to a hypersensitivity reaction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. Local reactions at the administration site occurred within 1 to 3 days after the most recent RYSTIGGO infusion. Headache In Study 1, seven (5.3%) cases of severe headache were reported in p …
Drug Interactions
openFDA Drug Labeling7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Closely monitor for reduced effectiveness of medications that bind to the human neonatal Fc receptor. When concomitant long-term use of such medications is essential for patient care, consider discontinuing RYSTIGGO and using alternate therapies. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of RYSTIGGO on Other Drugs Concomitant use of RYSTIGGO with medications that bind to the human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) (e.g., immunoglobulin products, monoclonal antibodies, or antibody derivatives containing the human Fc domain of the IgG subclass) may lower systemic exposures and reduce effectiveness of such medications. Closely monitor for reduced effectiveness of medications that bind to the human neonatal Fc receptor. When concomitant long-term use of such medications is essential for patient care, consider discontinuing RYSTIGGO and using alternative therapies.
Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. ( 8.1 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to RYSTIGGO during pregnancy. Patients or their healthcare providers may contact UCBCares at 1-844-599-CARE (2273) or email ucbcares@ucb.com, so that information about the exposure of RYSTIGGO during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding can be collected. As a healthcare professional, please ask about becoming a member of the MGBase registry (https://www.mgbase.org). Risk Summary There are limited data on RYSTIGGO use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Following administration of rozanolixizumab-noli to pregnant monkeys at doses greater than those used clinically, increases in embryonic death, reduced body weight, and impaired immune function were observed in the absence of maternal toxicity ( see Data ). All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background rate of major birth defects and miscarriage in the indicated population is unknown. 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 Subcutaneous administration of rozanolixizumab-noli (0, 50, or 150 mg/kg) to pregnant monkeys every 3 days throughout pregnancy (gestation day 20 to parturition) resulted in an increase in embryonic death and reduced body weight and impaired immune function in offspring at both doses. A no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects was not identified; the doses tested in monkeys are 10 and 30 times the maximum recommended human dose of approximately 10 mg/kg, on a mg/kg/week basis. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of rozanolixizumab-noli in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for RYSTIGGO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from RYSTIGGO or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of RYSTIGGO did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.
