Indications and Usage

openFDA Drug Labeling

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE YORVIPATH is indicated for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults. YORVIPATH is a parathyroid hormone analog (PTH(1-34)) indicated for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use : Not studied for acute post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. ( 1 ) Titration scheme only evaluated in adults who first achieved an albumin-corrected serum calcium of at least 7.8 mg/dL using calcium and active vitamin D treatment. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use YORVIPATH was not studied for acute post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. YORVIPATH's titration scheme was only evaluated in adults who first achieved an albumin-corrected serum calcium of at least 7.8 mg/dL using calcium and active vitamin D treatment [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.4) and Clinical Studies (14) ] .

Dosage and Administration

openFDA Drug Labeling

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Use only one injection to achieve the once daily recommended dosage. ( 2.1 ) Maximum recommended YORVIPATH dosage is 30 mcg subcutaneously once daily. ( 2.1 ) Individualize YORVIPATH dosage based on serum calcium. ( 2.1 ) Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for complete dosage and administration information. ( 2 ) 2.1 Overview of Dosage and Monitoring Use only one injection to achieve the once daily recommended dosage. Using two injections to achieve the recommended once daily dosage increases the risk of unintended changes in serum calcium levels, including hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia [see Dosage and Administration (2.4 , 2.6) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . The maximum recommended dosage is 30 mcg subcutaneously once daily. If an adequate response is not achieved with a maximum YORVIPATH dosage of 30 mcg, consider adding or restarting calcium and/or active vitamin D therapy and/or seek other treatment options [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . YORVIPATH's once daily subcutaneous dosage is individualized. The recommended starting dosage is 18 mcg once daily and is titrated in 3 mcg increments or decrements with the goal of maintaining serum calcium within the normal range without the need for active vitamin D (e.g., calcitriol) or therapeutic calcium doses (elemental calcium > 600 mg/day). Calcium supplementation sufficient to meet daily dietary requirements may be continued. Advise patients to monitor daily for clinical signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia. Measure serum calcium 7 to 10 days after the first YORVIPATH dose and after any dose change in YORVIPATH, active vitamin D, or calcium supplements, and monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia. Once the YORVIPATH maintenance dosage is achieved, measure serum calcium levels at a minimum every 4 to 6 weeks or as indicated for symptoms of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia. Adjust YORVIPATH, active vitamin D, and/or calcium supplements per Figure 1. Some patients may require an increase in the YORVIPATH dose over time to maintain the same therapeutic effect [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Refer to the Instructions for Use (IFU) for detailed instructions on the proper preparation and administration of YORVIPATH [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . 2.2 Laboratory Testing Prior to Initiation of YORVIPATH Within two weeks before the first dose of YORVIPATH, confirm serum 25(OH) vitamin D is within the normal range and albumin-corrected serum calcium is ≥ 7.8 mg/dL. 2.3 Modification of Active Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements on Day of YORVIPATH Initiation or Up-titration On the day of initiation or up-titration of YORVIPATH, adjust the dose of active vitamin D and calcium supplements based on albumin-corrected serum calcium and current active vitamin D intake (Table 1). Table 1: Dosage Adjustments to Active Vitamin D (calcitriol) and Calcium Supplements Upon Initiation or Up-titration of YORVIPATH Treatment Albumin-Corrected Serum Calcium Current Active Vitamin D (calcitriol) Intake Adjust Active Vitamin D (calcitriol) Intake Adjust Calcium Supplements ≥8.3 mg/dL >1 mcg/day Reduce calcitriol dosage by ≥50% Maintain current calcium dosage ≥8.3 mg/dL ≤1 mcg/day Discontinue calcitriol Maintain current calcium dosage ≥7.8 to <8.3 mg/dL Any amount Reduce calcitriol dosage by ≥50% Maintain current calcium dosage ≥7.8 mg/dL Not currently on active vitamin D Not applicable Reduce calcium daily dosage by at least 1500 mg or discontinue If calcium supplements are needed to meet dietary requirements, continuing dietary calcium supplements at elemental dosages ≤ 600 mg/day may be considered instead of discontinuing the calcium entirely. if current calcium daily dosage is ≤1500 mg/day 2.4 Recommended Dosage, Titration Scheme, and Monitoring The recommended starting dosage of YORVIPATH is 18 mcg once daily. Dosage adjustments should be made in 3 mcg increments or decrements. Do not increase the YORVI …

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions : Anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria have been reported in patients treated with parathyroid hormone analogs, including YORVIPATH. If signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction occur, discontinue treatment with YORVIPATH, initiate supportive care, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve. Discontinue YORVIPATH permanently in patients with a severe hypersensitivity reaction to YORVIPATH. ( 5.1 ) Unintended Changes in Serum Calcium Levels Related to Number of Daily Injections : Use only one daily YORVIPATH injection. Using two YORVIPATH injections to achieve the recommended once daily dosage increases the variability of the total delivered dose. ( 5.2 ) Serious Hypercalcemia and Hypocalcemia : Have occurred with YORVIPATH. Periodically measure serum calcium and monitor for signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia. ( 5.3 , 5.4 ) Potential Risk of Osteosarcoma : YORVIPATH is not recommended in patients at increased risk of osteosarcoma. ( 5.5 ) Orthostatic Hypotension : Has been reported with YORVIPATH. Monitor for signs and symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. ( 5.6 ) Digoxin Toxicity : Concomitant use with digoxin may predispose to digitalis toxicity if hypercalcemia develops. With concomitant use, frequently measure serum calcium and digoxin levels, and monitor for signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity. ( 5.7 , 7.1 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria have been reported in patients treated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogs, including YORVIPATH [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . If signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction occur, discontinue treatment with YORVIPATH, initiate appropriate supportive care, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve. Discontinue YORVIPATH permanently in patients with a severe hypersensitivity reaction to YORVIPATH . YORVIPATH is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity to palopegteriparatide or any of the inactive ingredients of YORVIPATH [see Contraindications (4) ] . 5.2 Risk of Unintended Changes in Serum Calcium Levels Related to Number of Daily Injections Use only one YORVIPATH injection to achieve the recommended once daily dosage. Using two YORVIPATH injections to achieve the recommended once daily dosage increases the variability of the total delivered dose, which can cause unintended changes in serum calcium levels, including hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Warning and Precautions (5.3 , 5.4) ] . 5.3 Serious Hypercalcemia Serious events of hypercalcemia requiring hospitalization have been reported with YORVIPATH. The risk is highest when starting or increasing the dose of YORVIPATH but may occur at any time. Measure serum calcium 7 to 10 days after any dose change or if there are signs or symptoms of hypercalcemia, and at a minimum of every 4 to 6 weeks once the maintenance dose is achieved. Treat hypercalcemia if needed. If albumin-corrected serum calcium is greater than 12 mg/dL, withhold YORVIPATH for at least 2-3 days [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. For less serious hypercalcemia, adjust the dose of YORVIPATH, active vitamin D, and/or calcium supplements [see Dosage and Administration (2) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . 5.4 Serious Hypocalcemia Serious events of hypocalcemia have been observed with PTH products, including YORVIPATH. The risk is highest when YORVIPATH is abruptly discontinued, but may occur at any time, even in patients who have been on stable doses of YORVIPATH. Measure serum calcium 7 to 10 days after any dose change or if there are signs or symptoms of hypocalcemia, and at a minimum of every 4 to 6 weeks once the maintenance dosage is achieved. Treat hypocalcemia if needed, and adjust the dose of YORVIPATH, active vitamin D, and/or calcium supplements if hypocalcemia occurs [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . 5.5 Potential …

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drugs Known to Affect Calcium : When used concomitantly with YORVIPATH, measure serum calcium levels more frequently. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Drugs Affected by Serum Calcium Digoxin YORVIPATH increases serum calcium, therefore, concomitant use with digoxin (which has a narrow therapeutic index) may predispose patients to digitalis toxicity if hypercalcemia develops. Digoxin efficacy may be reduced if hypocalcemia is present. When YORVIPATH is used concomitantly with digoxin, measure serum calcium and digoxin levels, and monitor for signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity. Adjustment of the digoxin and/or YORVIPATH dose may be needed. 7.2 Drugs Known to Affect Serum Calcium Drugs that affect serum calcium may alter the therapeutic response to YORVIPATH. Measure serum calcium more frequently when YORVIPATH is used concomitantly with these drugs, particularly after these drugs are initiated, discontinued, or dose-adjusted.

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Monitor breastfed infants for symptoms of hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. Consider monitoring serum calcium in the breastfed infant ( 8.2 ). 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from reports of pregnancies in the clinical trials from drug development are insufficient to identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are disease-associated risks to the mother and fetus related to hypocalcemia in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ). In animal reproduction studies, administration of palopegteriparatide to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in no significant adverse effects up to doses 16- and 13-fold, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), based on PTH(1-34) and active metabolite PTH(1-33) exposure by area under the curve (AUC) (see Data ). The background risk of birth defects and miscarriages 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 defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. If YORVIPATH is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving YORVIPATH, healthcare providers should report YORVIPATH exposure by calling 1-877-229-2184. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and Embryo/Fetal Risk Maternal hypocalcemia can result in an increased rate of spontaneous abortion, premature and dysfunctional labor, and possibly preeclampsia. Infants born to mothers with hypocalcemia can have associated fetal and neonatal hyperparathyroidism, which may cause fetal and neonatal skeletal demineralization, subperiosteal bone resorption, osteitis fibrosa cystica, and neonatal seizures. Infants born to mothers with hypocalcemia should be monitored for signs of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia, including neuromuscular irritability (e.g., myotonic jerks, seizures), apnea, cyanosis, and cardiac arrhythmias. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study in rats, palopegteriparatide was administered subcutaneously during the period of organogenesis (gestation days (GD) 6 to 17) at doses of 2, 8, and 30 mcg/kg/day. In pregnant rats, there was no evidence of embryo-lethality, fetotoxicity, or fetal malformations up to the highest dose tested corresponding to 16-fold the MRHD, based on PTH(1-34) and active metabolite PTH(1-33) exposure by AUC. In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study in rabbits, palopegteriparatide was administered subcutaneously to pregnant female rabbits during the period of organogenesis (GD 7 to 19) at doses of 1, 3, and 6 mcg/kg/day. There was no evidence of any palopegteriparatide-related embryo-lethality, fetotoxicity, or fetal malformations at any dose level up to 13-fold the MRHD, based on PTH(1-34) exposure by AUC. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data available on the presence of palopegteriparatide or its metabolite in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Infants breastfed by females treated with YORVIPATH should be monitored for signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. Monitoring of serum calcium in the infant should be considered. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for YORVIPATH and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from YORVIPATH or from the underlying sub-optimally treated maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of YORVIPATH have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use In Study 1, 8 of 61 (13%) YORVIPATH-treated subjects were 65 years of age or over compared to 2 of 21 (10%) subjects in the placebo group. Clinical studies of YORVIPATH di …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action At physiological conditions, palopegteriparatide releases PTH(1-34) to maintain a continuous systemic exposure. Endogenous PTH maintains extracellular calcium and phosphate homeostasis by increasing serum calcium and decreasing serum phosphate. These effects are mediated by stimulating bone turnover to mobilize calcium and phosphate from bone, promoting renal calcium reabsorption and phosphate excretion, and facilitating active vitamin D synthesis, in turn increasing intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. Similar to endogenous PTH, PTH(1-34) released from palopegteriparatide exerts these effects through its main receptor, parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R), which is highly expressed on osteoblasts, osteocytes, renal tubular cells, and in several other tissues.

Description

openFDA Drug Labeling

11 DESCRIPTION YORVIPATH (palopegteriparatide injection) is a parathyroid hormone analog (PTH(1-34)). Palopegteriparatide is a prodrug of teriparatide (PTH(1-34)) consisting of PTH(1-34) transiently conjugated to an inert carrier via a proprietary TransCon Linker. PTH(1-34) is identical to the 34 N-terminal amino acids (the biologically active region) of the 84-amino acid human parathyroid hormone. The carrier is a branched 40 kDa (2×20 kDa) methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) moiety. The average molecular weight of palopegteriparatide is approximately 47.4 kDa. The structure of palopegteriparatide drug substance is shown in Figure 2. The theoretical molecular formula is C 209 H 340 N 60 O 59 S 3 + 2 × (C 2 H 4 O) n , where n is between approximately 450 and 500. Figure 2: Structure of Palopegteriparatide YORVIPATH is a sterile, clear, and colorless solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled in a single-patient-use prefilled pen for subcutaneous administration. The prefilled pen is co-packaged with disposable needles to administer 14 doses of YORVIPATH. YORVIPATH is available in three presentations containing 0.56 mL, 0.98 mL, or 1.4 mL of YORVIPATH solution, and each pen presentation can deliver one of three distinct doses for 14 days of therapy. Each mL of YORVIPATH solution contains 3456 mcg of palopegteriparatide, equivalent to 300 mcg of teriparatide (PTH(1-34)), and the following inactive ingredients: 41.7 mg mannitol, 2.5 mg metacresol, 0.13 mg sodium hydroxide, 1.18 mg succinic acid, and water for injection. YORVIPATH has a pH of 3.7 to 4.3. Each pen of 0.56 mL contains 168 mcg teriparatide equivalent to 1935 mcg palopegteriparatide. Each pen of 0.98 mL contains 294 mcg teriparatide equivalent to 3387 mcg palopegteriparatide. Each pen of 1.4 mL contains 420 mcg teriparatide equivalent to 4838 mcg palopegteriparatide. Figure 2

10 OVERDOSAGE Accidental overdose of YORVIPATH may cause hypercalcemia that can be severe and require medical intervention. One subject in Study 1 accidentally received approximately 3-fold the prescribed dose of YORVIPATH for more than 7 consecutive days and developed albumin-corrected serum calcium as high as 16.1 mg/dL, requiring hospitalization.

FAERS reports mentioning this drug

A report count is not a risk measure. FAERS accepts voluntary and mandatory reports without establishing causation, and reporting is influenced by how widely a drug is used, how long it has been marketed, and media attention. FDA states that reports “do not prove that the drug caused the event”. Compare rates, not totals.

Attributed to this product's most-reported active ingredient: PALOPEGTERIPARATIDE. Combination products with more than six active ingredients are not attributed, because a report count summed across a long ingredient list measures the list, not the medicine.
