RYLAZE

Asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn contains an asparagine specific bacterial enzyme (L-asparaginase). L-asparaginase is a tetrameric enzyme that consists of four identical 35 kDa subunits with a combined molecular weight of 140 kDa. The amino acid sequence is identical to native asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi (also known as crisantaspase). The activity of asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn is expressed in units, defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 1μmol of L-asparagine per reaction minute, per mg of protein. Asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn is produced by fermentation of a genetically engineered Pseudomonas fluorescens bacterium containing the DNA which encodes for asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi . RYLAZE (asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn) injection is supplied as a sterile, clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow, preservative-free solution for intramuscular injection. Each 0.5 mL contains 10 mg asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn and the inactive ingredients: polysorbate 80 (0.1 mg), sodium chloride (1.5 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous (0.8 mg), sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate (0.6 mg), and trehalose dihydrate (32.1 mg). Sodium hydroxide may be added during manufacture to adjust the pH. The pH is approximately 7.

RYLAZE is indicated as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) in adult and pediatric patients 1 month or older who have developed hypersensitivity to E. coli -derived asparaginase.

There are two RYLAZE regimens that can be used to replace a long-acting asparaginase product. The recommended dosages of RYLAZE are: When administered every 48 hours • 25 mg/m 2 intramuscularly every 48 hours; When administered Monday/Wednesday/Friday • 25 mg/m 2 intramuscularly on Monday morning and Wednesday morning and 50 mg/m 2 intramuscularly on Friday afternoon. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage There are two RYLAZE regimens that can be used to replace a long-acting asparaginase product. The recommended dosages of RYLAZE are: When administered every 48 hours: • 25 mg/m 2 administered intramuscularly every 48 hours; When administered on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule: • 25 mg/m 2 intramuscularly on Monday morning and Wednesday morning, and 50 mg/m 2 intramuscularly on Friday afternoon. Administer the Friday afternoon dose 53 to 58 hours after the Wednesday morning dose (e.g., 8:00 am on Monday and Wednesday, and 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Friday) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Table 1 shows the number of RYLAZE dosages recommended for the intended duration of treatment for replacement of one dose of calaspargase pegol products (3 weeks of asparaginase coverage) or one dose of pegaspargase products (2 weeks of asparaginase coverage). See the full prescribing information for the long-acting asparaginase product to determine the total duration of administration of RYLAZE as replacement therapy. Table 1: Recommended Duration of RYLAZE Dosing to Replace One Long-Acting Asparaginase Dose When RYLAZE is Administered: Recommended Duration of RYLAZE to Replace Calaspargase Pegol Products Recommended Duration of RYLAZE to Replace Pegaspargase Products 25 mg/m 2 intramuscular every 48 hours Replace one dose of calaspargase pegol products with 11 doses of RYLAZE Replace one dose of pegaspargase products with 7 doses of RYLAZE 25 mg/m 2 intramuscular on Monday morning and Wednesday morning, and 50 mg/m 2 intramuscular on Friday afternoon* Replace one dose of calaspargase pegol products with 9 doses of RYLAZE Replace one dose of pegaspargase products with 6 doses of RYLAZE *See bullet above for timing of 25/25/50 mg/m 2 dosing of RYLAZE. 2.2 Recommended Premedication Premedicate patients with acetaminophen, an H-1 receptor blocker (such as diphenhydramine), and an H-2 receptor blocker (such as famotidine) 30-60 minutes prior to administration of RYLAZE to decrease the risk and severity of hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . 2.3 Recommended Monitoring and Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Monitor patient’s bilirubin, transaminases, glucose, and clinical examinations prior to treatment every 2-3 weeks and as indicated clinically. If results are abnormal, monitor patients until recovery from the cycle of therapy. If an adverse reaction occurs, modify treatment according to Table 2. Table 2: Dosage Modifications Adverse Reaction Severity* Action Hypersensitivity Reaction [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Grade 2 • Treat the symptoms. Grade 3 to 4 • Discontinue RYLAZE permanently. Pancreatitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Grade 2 to 4 • Hold RYLAZE for elevations in lipase or amylase > 2 times the ULN**, or for symptomatic pancreatitis. • Resume treatment when lipase and amylase are < 1.5 times the ULN and symptoms are resolved. • Discontinue RYLAZE permanently if clinical necrotizing or hemorrhagic pancreatitis is confirmed. Thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Uncomplicated thrombosis • Hold RYLAZE. • Treat with appropriate antithrombotic therapy. • Upon resolution of symptoms, consider resuming RYLAZE, while continuing antithrombotic therapy. Severe or life-threatening thrombosis • Discontinue RYLAZE permanently. • Treat with appropriate antithrombotic therapy. Hemorrhage [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Grade 3 to 4 • Hold RYLAZE. • Evaluate for coagulopathy and consider clotting factor replacement as needed. • Resume RYLAZE with the next scheduled dose if bleeding is controlled. Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Total bilirubin > 3 times to ≤ 10 times the ULN • Hold RYLAZE until total bilirubin levels decrease to ≤ 1.5 times the ULN. Total bilirubin > 10 times the ULN • Discontinue RYLAZE and do not make up missed doses. * Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. ** Upper limit of normal 2.4 Preparation and Administration Instructions Ensure that medical support is available to appropriately manage anaphylactic reactions when administering RYLAZE [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. If particulate matter, cloudiness, or discoloration are present, discard the vial. • Use aseptic technique. • Determine the dose, total volume of RYLAZE solution required, and the number of RYLAZE vials needed based on the individual patient’s BSA. More than one vial may be needed for a full dose. • Withdraw the indicated injection volume of RYLAZE into the syringe for injection. o Do not shake the vial. o Limit the volume of RYLAZE at a single injection site to 2 mL. o If the volume to be administered is greater than 2 mL, divide the doses equally into multiple syringes, one for each injection site. o Discard the remaining unused RYLAZE in the single-dose vial. • Administer RYLAZE by intramuscular injection. o Rotate injection sites. o Do not inject RYLAZE into scar tissue or areas that are reddened, inflamed, or swollen. • If the prepared dose is not used immediately, store the syringe(s) at room temperature 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F) for up to 8 hours or refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 24 hours. The syringe does not need to be protected from light during storage.

The safety of RYLAZE described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure in 167 patients administered RYLAZE intramuscularly at various dosages when used in combination with chemotherapy in study JZP458-201 [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . These patients received a median of 4 courses of RYLAZE (range: 1-15 courses); 65% of patients received at least four courses. The safety of RYLAZE described below and in Table 3 was evaluated in study JZP458-201, a multi-cohort study. Patients received RYLAZE administered intramuscularly at dosages of 25 mg/m 2 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or 25 mg/m 2 on Monday and Wednesday, and 50 mg/m 2 on Friday, for 6 doses as a replacement for a single dose of pegaspargase as a component of multi-agent chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . The patients had a median age of 11 years (range: 1‑25 years); the majority of patients were male (57%) and White (68%). The patients received a median of 4 courses of RYLAZE (range: 1-14 courses); 65% of patients received at least four courses. A fatal adverse reaction (infection) occurred in 1 patient treated with the RYLAZE 25/25/25 mg/m 2 dosage. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 60% of patients who received the recommended dosages of RYLAZE. The most frequent nonhematological serious adverse reactions (in ≥ 5% of patients) were febrile neutropenia, infection, drug hypersensitivity, pyrexia, nausea, dehydration, stomatitis, acute kidney injury, pancreatitis, diarrhea, and viral infection. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 10% of patients who received RYLAZE intramuscularly at the recommended dosages. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation included pancreatitis (5%), drug hypersensitivity (4%), and infection (1%). All patients treated with the recommended dosages of RYLAZE as a component of multi-agent chemotherapy experienced neutropenia, anemia, or thrombocytopenia. The most common nonhematological adverse reactions (incidence > 20%) in patients were abnormal liver test, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, infection, fatigue, headache, febrile neutropenia, pyrexia, hemorrhage, stomatitis, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, drug hypersensitivity, hyperglycemia, diarrhea, pancreatitis, and hypokalemia.
