CANGRELOR

Cangrelor for injection is a direct-acting P2Y 12 platelet receptor inhibitor that blocks adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet activation and aggregation. The chemical structure is similar to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The chemical name of Cangrelor for injection is tetrasodium salt of N6-[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-2-[(3,3,3,trifluoropropyl)-5’-adenylic acid, monanhydride with (dichloromethylene) bisphosphonic acid. The empirical formula of Cangrelor tetrasodium is C 17 H 21 N 5 Cl 2 F 3 Na 4 O 12 P 3 S 2 and the molecular weight is 864.3 g/mol. The chemical structure is represented below: Cangrelor for Injection is a sterile white to off-white lyophilized powder for IV infusion. In addition to the active ingredient, Cangrelor, each single dose vial contains mannitol (158 mg), sorbitol (52 mg), and sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH. cangrelor-spl-structure

Cangrelor for injection is indicated as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to reduce the risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI), repeat coronary revascularization, and stent thrombosis (ST) in patients who have not been treated with a P2Y 12 platelet inhibitor and are not being given a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. Cangrelor for injection is a P2Y 12 platelet inhibitor indicated as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for reducing the risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI), repeat coronary revascularization, and stent thrombosis (ST) in patients in who have not been treated with a P2Y 12 platelet inhibitor and are not being given a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor.

• Cangrelor for injection is intended for administration via a dedicated IV line, only after reconstitution and dilution. ( 2.3 ) • Administer 30 mcg/kg intravenous (IV) bolus prior to PCI followed immediately by a 4 mcg/kg/min IV infusion for at least 2 hours or duration of procedure, whichever is longer. ( 2.1 ) • To maintain platelet inhibition after discontinuation of Cangrelor for injection infusion, administer an oral P2Y 12 platelet inhibitor. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosing The recommended dosage of Cangrelor for injection is a 30 mcg/kg IV bolus followed immediately by a 4 mcg/kg/min IV infusion. Initiate the bolus infusion prior to PCI. The maintenance infusion should ordinarily be continued for at least 2 hours or for the duration of PCI, whichever is longer. 2.2 Transitioning Patients to Oral P2Y 12 Therapy To maintain platelet inhibition after discontinuation of Cangrelor for injection infusion, administer an oral P2Y12 platelet inhibitor, as described below: Ticagrelor: 180 mg at any time during Cangrelor for injection infusion or immediately after discontinuation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Prasugrel: 60 mg immediately after discontinuation of Cangrelor for injection [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Clopidogrel: 600 mg immediately after discontinuation of Cangrelor for injection [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . 2.3 Preparation and Administration Cangrelor for injection is intended for IV administration, after reconstitution and dilution. Preparation Reconstitute the vial prior to dilution in a bag. For each 50 mg/vial, reconstitute by adding 5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection. Swirl gently until all material is dissolved. Avoid vigorous mixing. Allow any foam to settle. Ensure that the contents of the vial are fully dissolved and the reconstituted material is a clear, colorless to pale yellow solution. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter after reconstitution. Before administration, each reconstituted vial must be diluted further with Normal Saline (Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9% USP) or 5% Dextrose Injection USP. Withdraw the contents from one reconstituted vial and add to one 250 mL saline bag. Mix the bag thoroughly. This dilution will result in a concentration of 200 mcg/mL and should be sufficient for at least 2 hours of dosing. Patients 100 kg and over will require a minimum of 2 bags. Reconstituted Cangrelor for injection should be diluted immediately. Diluted Cangrelor for injection is stable for up to 12 hours in 5% Dextrose Injection and 24 hours in Normal Saline at Room Temperature. Discard any unused portion of reconstituted solution remaining in the vial. Administration Administer Cangrelor for injection via a dedicated IV line. Administer the bolus volume rapidly (<1 minute), from the diluted bag via manual IV push or pump. Ensure the bolus is completely administered before the start of PCI. Start the infusion immediately after administration of the bolus [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ].

• Significant active bleeding ( 4.1 ) • Hypersensitivity to cangrelor or any component of the product ( 4.2 ) 4.1 Significant Active Bleeding Cangrelor is contraindicated in patients with significant active bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. 4.2 Hypersensitivity Cangrelor is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to cangrelor or any component of the product [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ].

The following adverse reactions are also discussed elsewhere in the labeling: • Bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common adverse reaction is bleeding ( 5.1 , 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Gland Pharma Limited at 866-770-7144 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 reactions 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. The safety of cangrelor has been evaluated in 13,301 subjects in controlled trials, in whom, 5,529 were in the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial. Bleeding There was a greater incidence of bleeding with cangrelor than with clopidogrel. No baseline demographic factor altered the relative risk of bleeding with cangrelor (see Table 1 and Figure 1).

The 95% confidence limits that are shown do not take into account how many comparisons were made, nor do they reflect the effect of a particular factor after adjustment for all other factors. Apparent homogeneity or heterogeneity among groups should not be over-interpreted. Drug Discontinuation In CHAMPION PHOENIX the rate of discontinuation for bleeding events was 0.3% for cangrelor and 0.1% for clopidogrel. Discontinuation for non-bleeding adverse events was low and similar for cangrelor (0.6%) and for clopidogrel (0.4%). Coronary artery dissection, coronary artery perforation, and dyspnea were the most frequent events leading to discontinuation in patients treated with cangrelor. Non-Bleeding Adverse Reactions Hypersensitivity Serious cases of hypersensitivity were more frequent with cangrelor (7/13301) than with control (2/12861). These included anaphylactic reactions, anaphylactic shock, bronchospasm, angioedema, and stridor. Decreased renal function Worsening renal function was reported in 3.2% of cangrelor patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) compared to 1.4% of clopidogrel patients with severe renal impairment. Dyspnea Dyspnea was reported more frequently in patients treated with cangrelor (1.3%) than with control (0.4%). cangrelor-spl-figure-1

• Clopidogrel: Do not administer during cangrelor infusion. ( 7.1 ) • Prasugrel: Do not administer during cangrelor infusion. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Thienopyridines Clopidogrel or prasugrel administered during cangrelor infusion will have no antiplatelet effect until the next dose is administered. Therefore, administer Clopidogrel or prasugrel after cangrelor infusion is discontinued [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
