ZOMACTON

Somatropin is a human growth hormone (GH) produced by recombinant DNA technology using Escherichia coli. The protein is comprised of 191 amino acid residues and has a molecular weight of about 22,124 daltons. The amino acid sequence is identical to that of human growth hormone of pituitary origin. ZOMACTON (somatropin) for injection is a sterile, white lyophilized powder, intended for subcutaneous injection after reconstitution with the accompanying diluent. ZOMACTON 5 mg single-patient-use vial contains 5 mg of somatropin and mannitol (30 mg). Each 5 mg vial is co-packaged with a 5 mL vial of diluent containing Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, and Water for Injection, USP. ZOMACTON 10 mg single-patient-use vial contains 10 mg of somatropin, mannitol (10 mg), dibasic sodium phosphate (1.415 mg), and monobasic sodium phosphate (0.608 mg). Each 10 mg vial is co-packaged with a 1 mL syringe of diluent containing Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP with 0.33% metacresol as a preservative. Reconstituted solutions have a pH in the range of 7 to 9.

ZOMACTON is a recombinant human growth hormone indicated for: Pediatric: Treatment of pediatric patients with growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone (GH), short stature associated with Turner syndrome, idiopathic short stature (ISS), short stature or growth failure in short stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) deficiency, and short stature born small for gestational age (SGA) with no catch-up growth by 2 years to 4 years. ( 1.1 ) Adult: Replacement of endogenous GH in adults with GH deficiency ( 1.2 ) 1.1 Pediatric Patients ZOMACTON is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients with: growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone (GH), short stature associated with Turner syndrome, idiopathic short stature (ISS), height standard deviation score (HSDS) ≤-2.25 and associated with growth rates unlikely to permit attainment of adult height in the normal range, short stature or growth failure in short stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) deficiency, short stature born small for gestational age (SGA) with no catch-up growth by 2 years to 4 years of age. 1.2 Adult Patients ZOMACTON is indicated for the replacement of endogenous GH in adults with GH deficiency.

Administer by subcutaneous injection to the back of upper arm, abdomen, buttock, or thigh with regular rotation of injection sites ( 2.1 ) Pediatric dosage: Divide the calculated weekly dosage into equal doses given either 3, 6, or 7 days per week ( 2.2 ) GH deficiency : 0.18 mg/kg/week to 0.3 mg/kg/week ( 2.2 ) Turner syndrome: Up to 0.375 mg/kg/week ( 2.2 ) ISS : Up to 0.37 mg/kg/week ( 2.2 ) SHOX deficiency: 0.35 mg/kg/week ( 2.2 ) SGA: Up to 0.47 mg/kg/week ( 2.2 ) Adult dosage: Either of the following two dosing regimens may be used: Non-weight based dosing : Initiate with a dose of approximately 0.2 mg/day (range, 0.15 mg/day to 0.3 mg/day) and increase the dose every 1 to 2 months by increments of approximately 0.1 mg/day to 0.2 mg/day, according to individual patient requirements ( 2.3 ) Weight-based dosing (Not recommended for obese patients) : Initiate at 0.006 mg/kg daily and increase the dose according to individual patient requirements to a maximum of 0.0125 mg/kg daily ( 2.3 ) See Full Prescribing Information for reconstitution instructions ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Administration and Use Instructions Therapy with ZOMACTON should be supervised by a physician who is experienced in the diagnosis and management of patients with the conditions for which ZOMACTON is indicated [see Indications and Usage (1) ]. Fundoscopic examination should be performed routinely before initiating treatment with ZOMACTON to exclude preexisting papilledema, and periodically thereafter [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ]. Administer ZOMACTON by subcutaneous injection to the back of the upper arm, abdomen, buttock, or thigh with regular rotation of injection sites to avoid lipoatrophy. ZOMACTON 5 mg and 10 mg can be administered using a standard sterile disposable syringe. For proper use, please refer to the Instructions for Use provided with the administration device. The volume of the syringe should be small enough so that the prescribed dose can be withdrawn from the vial with reasonable accuracy. 2.2 Pediatric Dosage Individualize dosage for each patient based on the growth response. Divide the calculated weekly ZOMACTON dosage into equal doses given either 3, 6, or 7 days per week. The recommended weekly dose in milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight for pediatric patients is: Pediatric GH Deficiency: 0.18 mg/kg/week to 0.3 mg/kg/week (0.026 mg/kg/day to 0.043 mg/kg/day) Turner syndrome: Up to 0.375 mg/kg/week (up to 0.054 mg/kg/day) Idiopathic short stature: Up to 0.37 mg/kg/week (up to 0.053 mg/kg/day) SHOX Deficiency: 0.35 mg/kg/week (0.05 mg/kg/day) Small for Gestational Age (SGA): Up to 0.47 mg/kg/week (up to 0.067 mg/kg/day) In very short pediatric patients, HSDS less than -3, and older pubertal pediatric patients consider initiating treatment with a larger dose of ZOMACTON (up to 0.067 mg/kg/day). Consider a gradual reduction in dosage if substantial catch-up growth is observed during the first few years of therapy. In pediatric patients less than 4 years of age with less severe short stature, baseline HSDS values between -2 and -3, consider initiating treatment at 0.033 mg/kg/day and titrate the dose as needed. Assess compliance and evaluate other causes of poor growth such as hypothyroidism, under-nutrition, advanced bone age and antibodies to recombinant human GH if patients experience failure to increase height velocity, particularly during the first year of treatment. Discontinue ZOMACTON for stimulation of linear growth once epiphyseal fusion has occurred [see Contraindications (4) ]. 2.3 Adult Dosage Patients who were treated with somatropin for GH deficiency in childhood and whose epiphyses are closed should be reevaluated before continuation of somatropin for GH deficient adults. Consider using a lower starting dose and smaller dose increment increases for geriatric patients as they may be at increased risk for adverse reactions with ZOMACTON than younger individuals [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5) ] . Estrogen-replete women and patients receiving oral estrogen may require higher doses [see Drug Interactions (7) ]. Administer the prescribed dose daily Either of two ZOMACTON dosing regimens may be used: Non-weight based Initiate ZOMACTON with a dose of approximately 0.2 mg/day (range, 0.15 mg/day to 0.3 mg/day) and increase the dose every 1 to 2 months by increments of approximately 0.1 mg/day to 0.2 mg/day, according to individual patient requirements based on the clinical response and serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) concentrations. Decrease the dose as necessary on the basis of adverse reactions and/or serum IGF-1 concentrations above the age- and gender-specific normal range. Maintenance dosages will vary considerably from person to person, and between male and female patients. Weight-based Initiate ZOMACTON at 0.006 mg/kg daily and increase the dose according to individual patient requirements to a maximum of 0.0125 mg/kg daily. Use the patient's clinical response, adverse reactions, and determination of age- and gender-adjusted serum IGF-1 concentrations as guidance in dose titration. Not recommended for obese patients as they are more likely to experience adverse reactions with this regimen. 2.4 Reconstitution Reconstitute ZOMACTON 5 mg with 1 mL to 5 mL of diluent, Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride Injection, USP with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Do not use diluent if the patient has a known hypersensitivity to benzyl alcohol [see Contraindications (4) ] or in neonates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.13) ] , or pregnant or lactating women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.2) ] instead reconstitute with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, use only one dose per vial, and discard the unused portion. Reconstitute ZOMACTON 10 mg with 1 mL syringe of diluent, Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP with 0.33% metacresol as a preservative. Do not use diluent if the patient has a known hypersensitivity to metacresol [see Contraindications (4) ] . Aim the stream of diluent against the side of the vial to prevent foaming and gently swirl the vial with a rotary motion until the contents are completely dissolved and the solution is clear. Do not shake the vial since shaking or vigorous mixing will cause the solution to be cloudy. Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration. If the resulting solution is cloudy or contains particulate matter do not use. Occasionally, after refrigeration, some cloudiness may occur. Allow the product to warm to room temperature. If cloudiness persists or particulate matter is noted do not use.

ZOMACTON is contraindicated in patients with: Acute critical illness after open heart surgery, abdominal surgery or multiple accidental trauma, or those with acute respiratory failure due to the risk of increased mortality with use of pharmacologic doses of somatropin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Pediatric patients with Prader-Willi syndrome who are severely obese, have a history of upper airway obstruction or sleep apnea, or have severe respiratory impairment due to the risk of sudden death [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Active malignancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Known hypersensitivity to somatropin or to any excipients of ZOMACTON. Systemic hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, have been reported with postmarketing use of somatropins [see Dosage and Administrations (2.4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] .

Pediatric Patients Growth Failure due to Inadequate Secretion of Endogenous Growth Hormone ZOMACTON was evaluated in 164 pediatric patients with short stature due to GHD in an open-label study for 24 weeks. The subjects ranged in age from 2.1 to 17.7 years with a mean of 10.8 years. One hundred twenty (73%) of the subjects were male and 44 (27%) were female. Two subjects were Asian, 12 were Black, 130 were Caucasian, and 20 were categorized as 'other'. Table 1: Adverse Reactions ≥ 5% in Pediatric Patients with Growth Failure Due to GHD Treated with ZOMACTON through 24 Weeks Adverse Reaction 24 Week Exposure to ZOMACTON (n=164) Upper respiratory infection 32% Fever 16% Pharyngitis 12% Headache 11% Otitis Media 10% Increased cough 9% Abdominal pain 7% Anemia 6% Maculopapular rash 6% Diarrhea 5% Pain 5% Rhinitis 5% All pediatric patients were carefully observed for signs or laboratory abnormalities of hypothyroidism. Fifteen patients had T4 values which occasionally fell below the central laboratory's lower limit of normal; T4 levels rose to normal when tested during the next visit for all patients except one who continued to be monitored. Six of the 15 patients received thyroxine therapy before and throughout the study period, and thyroxine dose adjustments were made during the study in 3/6 subjects. In studies with GH deficient pediatric patients, injection site pain was reported in 1.6% of patients. A mild and transient edema, which appeared in 1.6% of patients, was observed early during the course of treatment. Short Stature Associated with Turner Syndrome In a randomized, concurrent-controlled, open-label study, there was an increase in the occurrence of otitis media, ear disorders and surgical procedures in patients receiving another somatropin product at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg/week, compared with untreated control patients (Table 2). A similar increase in otitis media was observed in an 18-month placebo-controlled study. Table 2: Adverse Reactions Occurring in Patients with Turner Syndrome Treated with 0.3 mg/kg/week of Another Somatropin product During a 4.7 Year Randomized Open-Label Study Untreated (n=62) Somatropin (n=74) Surgical procedure 27% 45% Otitis media 26% 43% Ear disorders 5% 18% Idiopathic Short Stature Adverse reactions from a randomized, placebo-controlled study of another somatropin product dosed at 0.22 mg/kg/week are presented in Table 3. Mean fasting serum insulin concentration increased 10% in the group treated with another somatropin product at the end of treatment relative to baseline, but remained within the normal reference range.

One patient developed glucose intolerance and high serum HbA 1c . Short Stature or Growth Failure in SHOX Deficiency Adverse reactions from a 2-year open-label study with another somatropin product compared to no treatment are presented in Table 4. During the study, the proportion of patients who had at least one IGF-1 concentration greater than 2.0 SD above the age- and gender-appropriate mean was 37.0% for the somatropin-treated group vs. 0% patients for the untreated group. The proportion of patients who had at least one IGFBP-3 concentration greater than 2.0 SD above the age and gender appropriate mean was 59% for the somatropin treated group vs. 29% for the untreated group. Table 4: Adverse Reactions Occurring in Patients with SHOX Deficiency Treated with Another Somatropin product for 2 years Untreated (n=25) Another Somatropin product (n=27) Arthralgia 8% 11% Gynecomastia 0% 8% Excessive number of cutaneous nevi 0% 7% Scoliosis 0% 4% Small for Gestational Age (SGA) with No Catch-up Growth by 2 Years to 4 Years of Age In a 2-year study, 193 pediatric patients were treated with another somatropin product using 2 different treatment regimens: a fixed dose of 0.067 mg/kg/day (FHD group) or an individually adjusted dose regimen (IAD group; starting dose 0.035 mg/kg/day which could be increased as early as Month 3 to 0.067 mg/kg/day based on a validated growth prediction model). Adverse reactions included common childhood infectious diseases, otitis media, headaches, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (n=1). Six patients (4 in the FHD group and 2 in the IAD group whose dose was increased from 0.035 mg/kg/day to 0.067 mg/kg/day [one at Month 3 and one at Year 1])) had impaired fasting glucose at Year 2. Two of 6 had impaired fasting glucose during the study, and 1 discontinued treatment at month 15 as a consequence. At study completion, 20-25% of patients had serum IGF-1 SDS values > +2. The following adverse reactions were reported from an observational study of 340 pediatric patients who received another somatropin product with an average dosage of 0.041 mg/kg/day for an average of 3 years: type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=1), carpal tunnel syndrome (n=1) and exacerbation of preexisting scoliosis (n=1). Adult Patients Adult-Onset GH Deficiency In the first 6 months of controlled blinded trials during which patients received either another somatropin product or placebo, patients who received this other somatropin product experienced a statistically significant increase in edema (another somatropin product 17% vs. placebo 4%, p=0.043) and peripheral edema (12% vs. 0%, respectively, p=0.017). Edema, muscle pain, joint pain, and joint disorder were reported early in therapy and tended to be transient or responsive to dosage titration. Two of 113 patients developed carpal tunnel syndrome after beginning maintenance therapy without a low dose (0.00625 mg/kg/day) lead-in phase. Symptoms abated in these patients after dosage reduction. All adverse reactions with ≥5% overall occurrence rate during 12 or 18 months of replacement therapy with another somatropin product are shown in Table 5 (adult-onset patients) and in Table 6 (childhood-onset patients). Adult patients treated with another somatropin product who had been diagnosed with GH deficiency in childhood reported adverse reactions less frequently than those with adult-onset GH deficiency. Table 5: Adverse Reactions Occurring ≥5% in Adult-Onset Growth Hormone-Deficient Patients Treated with Another Somatropin product for 18 Months as Compared with 6-Month Placebo and 12-Month Exposure to Another Somatropin product Abbreviations: GH= another somatropin product; n=number of patients receiving treatment in the period stated 18 Months Exposure Adverse Reaction [Placebo (6 Months)/GH (12 Months)] 18 Months GH Exposure (n=46) (n=52) Edema p=0.04 as compared to placebo (6 months). 15% 21% Arthralgia 15% 17% Paresthesia 13% 17% Myalgia 13% 14% Pain 13% 14% Rhinitis 11% 14% Peripheral edema p=0.02 as compared to placebo (6 months). 17% 12% Back pain 11% 10% Headache 11% 8% Hypertension 4% 8% Acne 0% 6% Joint disorder 2% 6% Surgical procedure 2% 6% Flu syndrome 7% 4% Childhood-Onset GH Deficiency Two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials were conducted in 67 adult patients who had received previous somatropin treatment during childhood. Patients were randomized to receive either placebo injections or another somatropin product (0.00625 mg/kg/day for the first 4 weeks, then 0.0125 mg/kg/day thereafter) for the first 6 months, followed by open-label use of another somatropin product for the next 12 months for all patients. The patients in these studies reported side effects less frequently than those with adult-onset GH deficiency. During the placebo-controlled phase (first 6 months) of the study, elevations of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transferase were reported significantly more often for somatropin-treated (12.5%) than placebo-treated patients (0.0%, p=0.031). No other events were reported significantly more often for somatropin-treated patients during the placebo-controlled phase.

Because the following adverse events 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 exposure. Gastrointestinal disorders — Pancreatitis Immune system disorders — Serious systemic hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylactic reactions and angioedema Metabolism and nutrition disorders — New-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders – osteonecrosis in pediatric patients Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified — Leukemia has been reported in a small number of GH deficient pediatric patients treated with somatropin, somatrem (methionylated rhGH), and GH of pituitary origin Nervous system disorders — Headaches (common in pediatric patients and occasional in adults) Reproductive system and breast disorders — Gynecomastia Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders — Increase in size or number of cutaneous nevi

Table 7 includes a list of drugs with clinically important drug interactions when administered concomitantly with ZOMACTON and instructions for preventing or managing them. Table 7: Clinically Important Drug Interactions with ZOMACTON Glucocorticoids Clinical Impact: Microsomal enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD-1) is required for conversion of cortisone to its active metabolite, cortisol, in hepatic and adipose tissue. ZOMACTON inhibits 11βHSD-1. Consequently, individuals with untreated GH deficiency have relative increases in 11βHSD-1 and serum cortisol. Initiation of ZOMACTON may result in inhibition of 11βHSD-1 and reduced serum cortisol concentrations. Intervention: Patients treated with glucocorticoid replacement for hypoadrenalism may require an increase in their maintenance or stress doses following initiation of ZOMACTON [seeWarnings and Precautions (5.8)]. Examples: Cortisone acetate and prednisone may be affected more than others since conversion of these drugs to their biologically active metabolites is dependent on the activity of 11βHSD-1. Pharmacologic Glucocorticoid Therapy and Supraphysiologic Glucocorticoid Treatment Clinical Impact: Pharmacologic glucocorticoid therapy and supraphysiologic glucocorticoid treatment may attenuate the growth promoting effects of ZOMACTON in pediatric patients. Intervention: Carefully adjust glucocorticoid replacement dosing in pediatric patients receiving glucocorticoid treatments to avoid both hypoadrenalism and an inhibitory effect on growth. Cytochrome P450-Metabolized Drugs Clinical Impact: Limited published data indicate that somatropin treatment increases cytochrome P450 (CP450)-mediated antipyrine clearance. ZOMACTON may alter the clearance of compounds known to be metabolized by CP450 liver enzymes. Intervention: Careful monitoring is advisable when ZOMACTON is administered in combination with drugs metabolized by CP450 liver enzymes. Oral Estrogen Clinical Impact: Oral estrogens may reduce the serum IGF-1 response to ZOMACTON. Intervention: Patients receiving oral estrogen replacement may require greater ZOMACTON dosages [seeDosage and Administration (2.2)] . Insulin and/or Other Hypoglycemic Agents Clinical Impact: Treatment with ZOMACTON may decrease insulin sensitivity, particularly at higher doses. Intervention: Patients with diabetes mellitus may require adjustment of their doses of insulin and/or other hypoglycemic agents [seeWarnings and Precautions (5.4)]. Glucocorticoids: Patients treated with glucocorticoid for hypoadrenalism may require an increase in their maintenance or stress doses following initiation of ZOMACTON ( 7 ) Pharmacologic Glucocorticoid Therapy and Supraphysiologic Glucocorticoid Treatment: Adjust glucocorticoid replacement dosing in pediatric patients receiving glucocorticoid treatment to avoid both hypoadrenalism and an inhibitory effect on growth. ( 7 ) Cytochrome P450-Metabolized Drugs: ZOMACTON may alter the clearance. Monitor carefully if used with ZOMACTON ( 7 ) Oral Estrogen: Larger doses of ZOMACTON may be required ( 7 ) Insulin and/or Other Hypoglycemic Agents: Dose adjustment of insulin or hypoglycemic agent may be required ( 5.4 , 7 )
