4 CONTRAINDICATIONS TREMFYA is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to guselkumab or to any of the excipients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . History of serious hypersensitivity reactions to guselkumab or to any of the excipients. ( 4 )

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions : Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. ( 5.1 ) Infections : TREMFYA may increase the risk of infections. Do not initiate treatment with TREMFYA in patients with clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. If such an infection develops, discontinue TREMFYA until the infection resolves. ( 5.2 ) Tuberculosis (TB) : Evaluate for TB prior to initiating treatment with TREMFYA. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment with TREMFYA. ( 5.3 ) Hepatotoxicity : Drug-induced liver injury has been reported. For the treatment of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, evaluate liver enzymes and bilirubin levels at baseline, for at least 16 weeks of treatment, and periodically thereafter according to routine patient management. For the treatment of plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, if clinically indicated, evaluate liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline, and periodically thereafter according to routine patient management. Interrupt treatment if drug-induced liver injury is suspected, until this diagnosis is excluded. ( 5.4 ) Immunizations : Avoid use of live vaccines. ( 5.5 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with post market use of TREMFYA. Some cases required hospitalization. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue TREMFYA and initiate appropriate therapy. 5.2 Infections TREMFYA may increase the risk of infection [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In placebo-controlled clinical trials of up to 48 weeks in subjects with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, serious infections occurred in ≤ 2% of subjects who received TREMFYA. In the 16-week placebo-controlled trials in subjects with plaque psoriasis, the rate of serious infections for the TREMFYA group and the placebo group was ≤ 0.2%. A similar rate of serious infections was seen in placebo-controlled trials in subjects with psoriatic arthritis. The overall rates of infections were similar between subjects in the TREMFYA groups and subjects in the placebo groups in clinical trials for all indicated populations [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Treatment with TREMFYA should not be initiated in patients with any clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. In patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection, consider the risks and benefits prior to prescribing TREMFYA. Instruct patients to seek medical help if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a clinically important or serious infection or is not responding to standard therapy, monitor the patient closely and discontinue TREMFYA until the infection resolves. 5.3 Tuberculosis Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating TREMFYA treatment. Do not administer TREMFYA to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering TREMFYA. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiating TREMFYA in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Monitor all patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after TREMFYA treatment. In clinical trials, 105 subjects with plaque psoriasis, 143 subjects with psoriatic arthritis, 43 subjects with ulcerative colitis, and 36 subjects with Crohn's disease with latent TB who were concurrently treated with TREMFYA and appropriate TB prophylaxis did not develop active TB. In clinical trials of TREMFYA in subjects with Crohn's disease, active TB was reported in 2 subjects during treatment with TREMFYA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 5.4 Hepatotoxicity A serious adverse reaction of drug-induced liver injury was reported in a clinical trial subject with Crohn's disease following three doses o …

Adverse Reactions

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Tuberculosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Most common adverse reactions associated with TREMFYA are: Plaque Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (≥1%): upper respiratory infections, headache, injection site reactions, arthralgia, bronchitis, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, tinea infections, and herpes simplex infections. ( 6.1 ) Ulcerative Colitis (≥3%) : injection site reactions, arthralgia, upper respiratory tract infections, headache, gastroenteritis, fatigue, pyrexia, and rash. ( 6.1 ) Crohn's Disease (≥3%) : respiratory tract infections, abdominal pain, injection site reactions, headache, fatigue, arthralgia, diarrhea, and gastroenteritis. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Janssen Biotech, Inc. at 1-800-526-7736 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 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. Adverse Reactions in Adults with Plaque Psoriasis In clinical trials, a total of 1823 adult subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis received TREMFYA. Of these, 1393 subjects were exposed to TREMFYA for at least 6 months and 728 subjects were exposed for at least 1 year. Data from two placebo- and active-controlled trials (PsO1 and PsO2) in 1441 subjects (mean age 44 years; 70% males; 82% white) were pooled to evaluate the safety of TREMFYA (100 mg administered subcutaneously at Weeks 0 and 4, followed by every 8 weeks). Weeks 0 to 16: In the 16-week placebo-controlled period of the pooled clinical trials (PsO1 and PsO2), adverse events occurred in 49% of subjects in the TREMFYA group compared to 47% of subjects in the placebo group and 49% of subjects in the U.S. licensed adalimumab group. Serious adverse events occurred in 1.9% of subjects in the TREMFYA group (6.3 events per 100 patient-years of follow-up) compared to 1.4% of subjects in the placebo group (4.7 events per 100 patient-years of follow-up), and in 2.6% of subjects in U.S. licensed adalimumab group (9.9 events per 100 patient-years of follow-up). Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% and at a higher rate in the TREMFYA group than in the placebo group during the 16-week placebo-controlled period.

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 CYP450 Substrates The formation of CYP450 enzymes can be altered by increased levels of certain cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNFα, interferon) during chronic inflammation. Results from an exploratory drug-drug interaction trial in subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis suggested a low potential for clinically relevant drug interactions for drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP1A2 but the interaction potential cannot be ruled out for drugs metabolized by CYP2D6. However, the results were highly variable because of the limited number of subjects in the trial. Upon initiation of TREMFYA in patients who are receiving concomitant CYP450 substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index, consider monitoring for therapeutic effect or drug concentration and consider dosage adjustment as needed [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to TREMFYA during pregnancy. Patients should be encouraged to enroll in the registry by visiting www.mothertobaby.org/ongoing-study/tremfya-guselkumab, by calling 1-877-311-8972, or emailing MotherToBaby@health.ucsd.edu. Risk Summary Available data from literature, post-marketing reports, and ongoing pregnancy registry with TREMFYA use in pregnant women are insufficient to establish a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Monoclonal antibodies are actively transported across the placenta (see Clinical Considerations ). In a combined embryofetal development and pre- and post-natal development study, no adverse developmental effects were observed in infants born to pregnant monkeys after subcutaneous administration of guselkumab during organogenesis through parturition at doses up to 18 times the exposure (AUC) in humans administered 200 mg intravenously and 16 times the exposure (AUC) to the 400 mg dose given subcutaneously. Neonatal deaths in monkeys were observed at 4 to 18 times the exposure (AUC) in humans administered 200 mg intravenously and 4 to 16 times the exposure (AUC) to the 400 mg dose given subcutaneously (see Data ) . The clinical significance of these nonclinical findings is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for 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. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated Maternal and Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with increased disease activity. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks gestation), low birth weight (less than 2500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses and peaks during the third trimester. Therefore, TREMFYA may be present in infants exposed in utero . The potential clinical impact of guselkumab exposure in infants exposed in utero should be considered. Data Animal Data In a combined embryofetal development and pre- and post-natal development study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were administered weekly subcutaneous doses of guselkumab from the beginning of organogenesis to parturition at a dose (50 mg/kg) resulting in exposures (AUC) 18 times the exposure in humans administered 200 mg intravenously and 16 times the human exposure at 400 mg given subcutaneously. Neonatal deaths occurred in the offspring of one control monkey, three monkeys administered guselkumab at 10 mg/kg/week (4 times the exposure (AUC) in humans administered 200 mg intravenously or 400 mg given subcutaneously) and three monkeys administered guselkumab at 50 mg/kg/week (18 times the exposure (AUC) in humans administered 200 mg intravenously and 16 times the exposure (AUC) following a 400 mg subcutaneous dose). The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. No guselkumab-related effects on functional or immunological development were observed in the infants from birth through 6 months of age. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of guselkumab in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Guselkumab was not detected in the milk of lactating cynomolgus monkeys. Endogenous maternal IgG and monoclonal antibodies are transferred into human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and the extent of systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to g …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Guselkumab is a human monoclonal IgG1λ antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of interleukin 23 (IL-23) and inhibits its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. IL-23 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses. Guselkumab inhibits the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
