( 2.3 ) Patients acutely exposed to myelosuppressive doses of radiation Two doses, 6 mg each, administered subcutaneously one week apart. Administer the first dose as soon as possible after suspected or confirmed exposure to myelosuppressive doses of radiation, and a second dose one week after. ( 2.2 ) Use weight based dosing for pediatric patients weighing less than 45 kg; refer to Table 1 . ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Patients with Cancer Receiving Myelosuppressive Chemotherapy The recommended dosage of UDENYCA is a single subcutaneous injection of 6 mg administered once per chemotherapy cycle. For dosing in pediatric patients weighing less than 45 kg, refer to Table 1 . Do not administer UDENYCA between 14 days before and 24 hours after administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy. 2.2 Patients with Hematopoietic Subsyndrome of Acute Radiation Syndrome The recommended dose of UDENYCA is two doses, 6 mg each, administered subcutaneously one week apart. For dosing in pediatric patients weighing less than 45 kg, refer to Table 1 . Administer the first dose as soon as possible after suspected or confirmed exposure to radiation levels greater than 2 gray (Gy). Administer the second dose one week after the first dose. Obtain a baseline complete blood count (CBC). Do not delay administration of UDENYCA if a CBC is not readily available. Estimate a patient’s absorbed radiation dose (i.e., level of radiation exposure) based on information from public health authorities, biodosimetry if available, or clinical findings such as time to onset of vomiting or lymphocyte depletion kinetics. 2.3 Administration UDENYCA is administered subcutaneously via a single-dose prefilled autoinjector, a single-dose prefilled syringe for manual use or for use with the on-body injector (OBI) for UDENYCA, which is co-packaged with a single dose prefilled syringe for OBI. Use of the OBI for UDENYCA is not recommended for patients with Hematopoietic Subsyndrome of Acute Radiation Syndrome. Use of the OBI has not been studied in pediatric patients. Prior to use‚ remove the carton from the refrigerator and allow UDENYCA to reach room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes. Discard any UDENYCA left at room temperature for greater than 48 hours. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not administer UDENYCA if discoloration or particulates are observed. The needle cap on the prefilled syringe and prefilled autoinjector is not made with natural rubber latex. Pediatric Patients Weighing Less than 45 kg The UDENYCA prefilled syringe is not designed to allow for direct administration of doses less than 0.6 mL (6 mg). The syringe does not bear graduation marks which are necessary to accurately measure doses of UDENYCA less than 0.6 mL (6 mg) for direct administration to patients.

Adverse Reactions
openFDA Drug Labeling6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Splenic Rupture [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Serious Allergic Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Allergies to Acrylics [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Use in Patients with Sickle Cell Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Glomerulonephritis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Leukocytosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] Thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Capillary Leak Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] Potential for Tumor Growth Stimulatory Effects on Malignant Cells [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] Myelodysplastic syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )] Acute myeloid leukemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )] Aortitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] Most common adverse reactions (≥ 5% difference in incidence compared to placebo) are bone pain and pain in extremity. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Coherus BioSciences at 1-800-4UDENYCA (1-800-483-3692) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 (1-800-332-1088) 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 with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Pegfilgrastim clinical trials safety data are based upon 932 patients receiving pegfilgrastim in seven randomized clinical trials. The population was 21 to 88 years of age and 92% female. The ethnicity was 75% Caucasian, 18% Hispanic, 5% Black, and 1% Asian. Patients with breast (n = 823), lung and thoracic tumors (n = 53) and lymphoma (n = 56) received pegfilgrastim after nonmyeloablative cytotoxic chemotherapy. Most patients received a single 100 mcg/kg (n = 259) or a single 6 mg (n = 546) dose per chemotherapy cycle over 4 cycles. The following adverse reaction data in Table 2 are from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with metastatic or non-metastatic breast cancer receiving docetaxel 100 mg/m 2 every 21 days (Study 3). A total of 928 patients were randomized to receive either 6 mg pegfilgrastim (n = 467) or placebo (n = 461). The patients were 21 to 88 years of age and 99% female. The ethnicity was 66% Caucasian, 31% Hispanic, 2% Black, and 100 x 10 9 /L was observed in less than 1% of 932 patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving pegfilgrastim. No complications attributable to leukocytosis were reported in clinical studies. 6.2 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of pegfilgrastim or of other pegfilgrastim products. Binding antibodies to pegfilgrastim were detected using a BIAcore assay. The approximate limit of detection for this assay is 500 ng/mL. Pre-existing binding antibodies were detected in approximately 6% (51/849) of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Four of 521 pegfilgrastim-treated subjects who were negative at baseline developed binding antibodies to pegfilgrastim following treatment. None of these 4 patients had evidence of neutralizing antibodies detected using a cell-based bioassay. 6.3 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of pegfilgrastim products. 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 …
Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Although available data with UDENYCA or pegfilgrastim product use in pregnant women are insufficient to establish whether there is a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes, there are available data from published studies in pregnant women exposed to filgrastim products. These studies have not established an association of filgrastim product use during pregnancy with major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal studies, no evidence of reproductive/developmental toxicity occurred in the offspring of pregnant rats that received cumulative doses of pegfilgrastim approximately 10 times the recommended human dose (based on body surface area). In pregnant rabbits, increased embryo lethality and spontaneous abortions occurred at 4 times the maximum recommended human dose simultaneously with signs of maternal toxicity (see Data ). The estimated background risk of major 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 risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Pregnant rabbits were dosed with pegfilgrastim subcutaneously every other day during the period of organogenesis. At cumulative doses ranging from the approximate human dose to approximately 4 times the recommended human dose (based on body surface area), the treated rabbits exhibited decreased maternal food consumption, maternal weight loss, as well as reduced fetal body weights and delayed ossification of the fetal skull; however, no structural anomalies were observed in the offspring from either study. Increased incidences of post-implantation losses and spontaneous abortions (more than half the pregnancies) were observed at cumulative doses approximately 4 times the recommended human dose, which were not seen when pregnant rabbits were exposed to the recommended human dose. Three studies were conducted in pregnant rats dosed with pegfilgrastim at cumulative doses up to approximately 10 times the recommended human dose at the following stages of gestation: during the period of organogenesis, from mating through the first half of pregnancy, and from the first trimester through delivery and lactation. No evidence of fetal loss or structural malformations was observed in any study. Cumulative doses equivalent to approximately 3 and 10 times the recommended human dose resulted in transient evidence of wavy ribs in fetuses of treated mothers (detected at the end of gestation but no longer present in pups evaluated at the end of lactation). 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of pegfilgrastim products in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Other filgrastim products are secreted poorly into breast milk, and filgrastim products are not absorbed orally by neonates. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for UDENYCA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from UDENYCA or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of UDENYCA have been established in pediatric patients. No overall differences in safety were identified between adult and pediatric patients based on postmarketing surveillance and review of the scientific literature. Use of UDENYCA in pediatric patients for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia is based on UDENYCA's approval as a biosimilar to pegfilgrastim and evidence from adequate and well controlled studies of pegfilgrastim in adults with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data of pegfilgrastim in pediatric patients with sarcoma [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) and …
Mechanism of Action
openFDA Drug Labeling12.1 Mechanism of Action Pegfilgrastim products are colony-stimulating factors that act on hematopoietic cells by binding to specific cell surface receptors, thereby stimulating proliferation, differentiation, commitment, and end cell functional activation.
Description
openFDA Drug Labeling11 DESCRIPTION Pegfilgrastim-cbqv is a covalent conjugate of recombinant methionyl human G-CSF and monomethoxypolyethylene glycol. Recombinant methionyl human G-CSF is a water-soluble, 175 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of approximately 19 kilodaltons (kDa). Recombinant methionyl human G-CSF is obtained from the bacterial fermentation of a strain of E coli transformed with a genetically engineered plasmid containing the human G-CSF gene. During the pegfilgrastim-cbqv manufacturing process, fermentation is carried out in nutrient medium containing the antibiotic kanamycin. However, kanamycin is cleared in the manufacturing process and is not detectable in the final product. To produce pegfilgrastim-cbqv, a 20 kDa monomethoxypolyethylene glycol molecule is covalently bound to the N-terminal methionyl residue of recombinant methionyl human G-CSF. The average molecular weight of pegfilgrastim-cbqv is approximately 39 kDa. UDENYCA (pegfilgrastim-cbqv) injection is provided in three presentations: UDENYCA for manual subcutaneous injection is supplied in 0.6 mL prefilled syringes. The prefilled syringe does not bear graduation marks and is designed to deliver the entire contents of the syringe (6 mg/0.6 mL). UDENYCA for subcutaneous injection is supplied in a 0.6 mL prefilled single-dose autoinjector. The prefilled autoinjector delivers the entire contents (6 mg in 0.6mL) in a single injection and is not adjustable. On-body injector (OBI) for UDENYCA is supplied with a prefilled syringe containing 0.67 mL of UDENYCA in solution that delivers 0.6 mL of UDENYCA in solution when used with the OBI for UDENYCA. The syringe does not bear graduation marks and is only to be used with the OBI for UDENYCA. The delivered 0.6 mL dose from either the prefilled syringe for manual subcutaneous injection, the prefilled autoinjector or the OBI for UDENYCA contains 6 mg pegfilgrastim-cbqv (based on protein weight) in a sterile, clear, colorless, preservative-free solution (pH 4.0) containing acetate (0.35 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.02 mg), sodium (0.02 mg), and sorbitol (30 mg) in Water for Injection, USP.
Overdosage
openFDA Drug Labeling10 OVERDOSAGE Overdosage of pegfilgrastim products may result in leukocytosis and bone pain. Events of edema, dyspnea, and pleural effusion have been reported in a single patient who administered pegfilgrastim on 8 consecutive days in error. In the event of overdose, the patient should be monitored for adverse reactions [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] .
