IXINITY

IXINITY [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)] is a purified protein that has 415 amino acids. It has an amino acid sequence that is comparable to the Thr148 allelic form of plasma-derived factor IX. Coagulation factor IX (recombinant) is a single-chain glycoprotein with a molecular mass of about 55,000 Dalton that is secreted by a genetically engineered mammalian cell line derived from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. No human or animal proteins are added during any stage of manufacturing or formulation of IXINITY. The CHO cell line secretes recombinant factor IX into a defined cell culture medium that does not contain hormones. The recombinant factor IX is purified by a chromatography purification process. The process includes three validated steps for virus inactivation and removal, namely, solvent/detergent treatment, a chromatographic step, and nanofiltration. The process also includes a validated step to reduce the presence of CHO proteins in the final drug product. IXINITY is formulated as a sterile, nonpyrogenic lyophilized powder to be reconstituted with Sterile Water for Injection for intravenous administration. It does not contain any preservatives and is available in single-dose vials containing the labeled amount of factor IX activity, expressed in international units (IU). Each vial contains nominally 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, or 3000 IU of recombinant coagulation factor IX. After reconstitution of the lyophilized powder, all dosage strengths yield a clear, colorless solution. The concentrations of excipients are: Excipient Concentration Histidine 10 mM Mannitol 3% Trehalose Dihydrate 1% Sodium Chloride 66 mM Polysorbate 80 0.0075%

For intravenous use after reconstitution only. For intravenous use after reconstitution only. On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes and perioperative management of bleeding: Adolescents/Adults (≥ 12 years of age): One international unit (IU) of IXINITY per kg body weight increases the circulating activity of factor IX by 0.98 IU/dL. ( 2.1 ) Children (< 12 years of age): One international (IU) of IXINITY per kg body weight increases the circulating activity of factor IX by 0.79 IU/dL. ( 2.1 ) Initial dose: Required factor IX units (IU) = body weight (kg) x desired factor IX increase (% of normal or IU/dL) x reciprocal of observed recovery (IU/kg per IU/dL). ( 2.1 ) The maintenance dose depends on the type of bleed or surgery, the intensity of the hemostatic challenge, and number of days until adequate wound healing is achieved. ( 2.1 ) Routine prophylaxis: Adolescents/Adults (≥ 12 years of age): 40 to 70 IU/kg twice weekly. ( 2.1 ) Children (< 12 years of age): 35 to 75 IU/kg twice weekly. Adjust the dosing regimen (dose or frequency) based on the patient’s clinical response. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Dose Each vial of IXINITY has the recombinant factor IX (rFIX) potency in international units (IU) stated on the vial. Dosage and duration of treatment for factor IX products depend on the severity of the factor IX deficiency, the location and extent of bleeding, the patient’s clinical condition, age, and pharmacokinetic parameters of factor IX, such as incremental recovery and half-life. Initial Dose Adolescents/Adults ≥ 12 years of age): Calculate the initial dose of IXINITY based on the empirical finding that one international unit (IU) of IXINITY per kg body weight increases the circulating level of factor IX by 0.98 international units/dL (IU/dL) of plasma in adults and children ≥ 12 years of age. Children (< 12 years of age): Calculate the initial dose of IXINITY based on the empirical finding that one international unit (IU) of IXINITY per kg body weight increases the circulating level of factor IX by 0.79 international units/dL (IU/dL) of plasma in children < 12 years of age. Initial Dose = body weight (kg) x desired factor IX increase (% of normal or IU/dL) × reciprocal of observed recovery (IU/kg per IU/dL) Incremental Recovery in Previously Treated Patients (PTPs) Base calculation of the dose on the patient’s individual incremental recovery using serial factor IX activity assays, to account for the wide range of inter-individual differences in incremental recovery and the type of aPTT reagent used for the assay. Titrate the dose based on the patient’s clinical response and individual pharmacokinetics, in particular incremental recovery and half-life. Adolescents/Adults (≥ 12 years of age): For an incremental recovery of 0.98 IU/dL per IU/kg (0.98% of normal), calculate the dose as follows: Dose (IU) = body weight (kg) x desired factor IX increase (% of normal or IU/dL) × 1.02 dL/kg Examples (assuming patient’s baseline factor IX level is < 1% of normal): A peak of 70% is required in a 60 kg patient. The appropriate dose would be (60 kg × 70 IU/dL)/(0.98 IU/dL per IU/kg) = 4286 IU A dose of 4550 international units (IUs) of IXINITY administered to a 70 kg patient should be expected to result in a peak post-infusion factor IX increase of 4550 IU x (0.98 IU/dL per IU/kg)/(70 kg) = 64 IU/dL (approximately 64% of normal) Children (< 12 years of age): A lower recovery has been observed in pediatric patients (< 12 years, n=20). For an incremental recovery of 0.79 IU/dL per IU/kg (0.79% of normal), calculate the dose as follows: Dose (IU) = body weight (kg) x desired factor IX increase (% of normal or IU/dL) × 1.27 dL/kg Examples (assuming patient’s baseline factor IX level is < 1% of normal): A peak of 60% is required in a 20 kg patient. The appropriate dose would be (20 kg x 60 IU/dL)/(0.79 IU/dL per IU/kg) = 1519 IU A dose of 500 international units (IUs) of IXINITY administered to a 7 kg patient should be expected to result in a peak post-infusion factor IX increase of 500 IU x (0.79 IU/dL per IU/kg)/(7 kg) = 56 IU/dL (approximately 56% of normal) Monitor factor IX activity to ensure that the desired factor IX activity level has been achieved [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. Titrate doses using factor IX activity and pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life and incremental recovery, as well as by taking the clinical situation into consideration, to adjust the dose and frequency of repeated infusions as appropriate. Factor IX activity measurements in the clinical laboratory may be affected by the type of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) reagent or laboratory standard used [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. On-demand Treatment and Control of Bleeding Episodes and Perioperative Management of Bleeding Guides for dosing IXINITY in the on-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes ( Table 1 ) and perioperative management ( Table 2 ) are provided in the tables below. Individual patients may vary in their response to factor IX and may demonstrate different levels of in vivo recovery and different half-lives. For surgical procedures, initiate treatment with IXINITY early enough pre-operatively to achieve and maintain the desired factor IX level before starting the procedure. Routine Prophylaxis For adolescents/ adults ≥ 12 years of age the recommended dose for previously treated patients (PTPs) is 40 to 70 IU/kg twice weekly. For children < 12 years of age the recommended dose for previously treated patients (PTPs) is 35 to 75 IU/kg twice weekly. Children (<12 years) have lower recovery, shorter half-life and higher clearance (based on per kg body weight) as compared to adolescents and adults. Adjust the dosing regimen (dose or frequency) based on the patient's clinical response. Adjust the dose based on the individual patient’s age, bleeding pattern, and physical activity.

Before starting reconstitution and administration you will need the following items that are included in each kit of IXINITY: One (or more) vial(s) of IXINITY 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, or 3000 IU powder One (or more) 10 mL syringe(s), pre-filled with 5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection (pre-filled syringe) with plunger rod attached One sterile vial adapter with filter In addition, you will need the following items that are not included in the kit: One sterile LUER-LOK™ syringe (administration syringe); additional or larger syringes may be required if pooling multiple vials Sterile alcohol swabs Sterile infusion set Sterile gauze pad Sterile bandage Always work on a clean surface and wash your hands before performing the following procedures: Use aseptic technique during reconstitution procedure. Allow IXINITY and the pre-filled syringe to reach room temperature before use. Remove cap from the vial (See Figure A ). Peel back the cover of the vial adapter package (leave the vial adapter in the package). Figure A Place the administration syringe, if using, and vial adapter on a clean flat work surface. Twist off the cap of the pre-filled syringe and place it on the clean flat surface (See Figure B ). Figure B Wipe the top of the IXINITY vial with an alcohol swab (or similar germicidal solution) and allow it to dry. Place on a clean, flat surface. Firmly hold the package containing the vial adapter on a clean, flat surface. Connect the pre-filled syringe to the vial adapter by pushing the syringe tip down onto the LUER-LOK in the center of the vial adapter, and screw until the syringe is secured (See Figure C ). Figure C Carefully lift up the combined syringe-and-vial-adapter and remove it from the plastic package (See Figure D ). Figure D With one hand, continue to hold the combined syringe-and-vial-adapter. With the other hand, hold the IXINITY vial tightly on a clean, flat surface. In a continuous motion, place the vial adapter over the IXINITY vial; firmly push the filter spike of the vial adapter through the center of IXINITY vial’s rubber circle until the clear plastic cap snaps onto the IXINITY vial (See Figure E ). Push the plunger down to complete the transfer of all liquid from the syringe to the IXINITY vial. Figure E With the syringe and the vial still attached, gently swirl, in a circular motion, the IXINITY vial until the product is fully dissolved/reconstituted (See Figure F ). Figure F Remove the pre-filled syringe (now empty) from the vial adapter by turning it counterclockwise until it is completely detached (See Figure G ). Figure G Remove the administration syringe from its packaging. Leave the vial adapter attached to the vial and attach the administration syringe to the vial adapter by turning clockwise until it is securely attached (See Figure H ). Figure H Keeping the administration syringe plunger pressed, turn the IXINITY vial upside down. Draw the solution from the vial through the filter spike in the vial adapter by pulling the plunger back slowly until all solution is transferred into the administration syringe (See Figure I ). Figure I Keep the administration syringe plunger facing downwards and prevent it from moving. With one hand hold the vial-and-vial-adapter, and with the other hand firmly grasp the barrel of the administration syringe and unscrew the syringe from the vial adapter (See Figure J ). Figure J If only dosing with a single vial, proceed to administer IXINITY via intravenous infusion; otherwise proceed to Pooling Instructions. POOLING INSTRUCTIONS 1. If two or more vials are required to achieve the required dose, remove the pre-filled syringe from the vial adapter on the reconstituted second vial by turning it counterclockwise until it is completely detached. 2. Leave the vial adapter attached to the vial and attach the administration syringe containing the reconstituted IXINITY from the first vial by turning it clockwise until it is securely in place. 3. Turn the IXINITY vial upside down and slowly pull on the plunger rod to draw the solution into the administration syringe (see Figure I ). 4. Continue with remaining vials, if required. Once pooling is complete, proceed to administer IXINITY via intravenous infusion. After reconstitution of the lyophilized powder, all dosage strengths should yield a clear, colorless solution without visible particles. Discard if visible particulate matter or discoloration is observed. Infuse reconstituted solution immediately or within 3 hours of storage at room temperature after reconstitution. Do not refrigerate after reconstitution. Do not touch the syringe tip or the inside of the cap. Place the syringe containing the IXINITY solution on the clean surface, making sure that the tip does not touch anything. Figure A Figure B Figure C Figure D Figure E Figure F Figure G Figure H Figure I Figure J 2.3 Administration For intravenous use after reconstitution only. Inspect parenteral drug products visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not mix IXINITY with other medicinal products for infusion. Attach the administration syringe containing the reconstituted IXINITY solution to a sterile infusion set. Adapt the infusion rate to the comfort level of each patient, not exceeding 10 mL per minute. Record the name and batch number of the product in the patient record. Dispose of any unused product or waste material in accordance with local requirements.

IXINITY is contraindicated in patients who have known hypersensitivity to IXINITY or its excipients, including hamster protein [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to IXINITY or its excipients, including hamster protein ( 4 )
