(6.1)To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact 1-866-773-5274 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1 Clinical Trial Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.Primary HLHThe safety data described in this section reflect exposure to GAMIFANT in which 34 patients with untreated primary HLH and previously treated patients with primary HLH (NCT01818492) received GAMIFANT at starting dose of mg/kg every days with dose increases up to 10 mg/kg [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Clinical Studies (14)]. The median duration of treatment with GAMIFANT was 59 days (range: to 245 days) and the median cumulative dose was 25 mg/kg (range: to 254 mg/kg).The median age of study population was year (range: 0.1 to 13 years), 53% were female, and 65% were Caucasian.Serious adverse reactions were reported in 53% of patients. The most common serious adverse reactions (>=3%) included infections, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and multiple organ dysfunction. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in two (6%) of patients and included septic shock and gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Disseminated histoplasmosis led to drug discontinuation in one patient. The most commonly reported adverse reactions (>=20%) were infections, hypertension, infusion-related reactions, and pyrexia.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No carcinogenicity or genotoxicity studies have been conducted with emapalumab-lzsg.No studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of emapalumab-lzsg on fertility; however, no adverse effects on male or female reproductive organs were observed in the 8- or 13-week repeat-dose toxicity studies in cynomolgus monkeys.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Emapalumab-lzsg is monoclonal antibody that binds to and neutralizes interferon gamma (IFN). Nonclinical data suggest that IFN plays pivotal role in the pathogenesis of HLH by being hypersecreted.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. IFN InhibitionEmapalumab-lzsg reduces the plasma concentrations of CXCL9, chemokine induced by IFN.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyAt dose of mg/kg GAMIFANT does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of emapalumab-lzsg were evaluated in healthy adult subjects and in patients with HLH.Following 1 mg/kg emapalumab-lzsg dose, median steady state peak concentration was 44 mcg/mL, which was 2.9 times higher than after the first dose. The median steady state trough concentration was 25 mcg/mL, which was 4.3 times higher than after the first dose.Emapalumab-lzsg AUC increases slightly more than proportionally between and mg/kg doses, and less than proportionally at 3, 6, and 10 mg/kg doses.Emapalumab-lzsg exhibits target-mediated-like clearance dependent on IFN production, which can vary between and within patients as function of time and can affect the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] Emapalumab-lzsg steady state is achieved by the 7th infusion when the IFN production is moderate. At high IFN production, steady-state is reached earlier due to shorter half-life.. DistributionThe central and peripheral volumes of distribution in subject with body weight of 70 kg are 2.8 and 4.4 L, respectively.. EliminationEmapalumab-lzsg elimination half-life is approximately 22 days in healthy subjects and ranged from 2.5 to 18.9 days in HLH patients.In patients with HLH, the elimination half-life of emapalumab-lzsg was significantly influenced by the amount of IFN within the patient, demonstrating target mediated clearance-like mechanism. The elimination half-life of emapalumab-lzsg is reduced as the concentration of IFN increases.Emapalumab-lzsg clearance is approximately 0.007 L/h in healthy subjects.. MetabolismThe metabolic pathway of emapalumab-lzsg has not been characterized. Like other protein therapeutics, GAMIFANT is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways.. Specific PopulationsBody weight (3 to 80 kg) was significant covariate of emapalumab-lzsg pharmacokinetics, supporting body weight-based dosing.No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of emapalumab-lzsg were observed based on age (0.02 to 64 year), sex (53% Females), race (71.4% Caucasian, 12.2% Asian and 8.2% Black), renal impairment including dialysis, or hepatic impairment (mild, moderate, and severe).. Drug Interaction StudiesNo drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with GAMIFANT.. 12.4 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors, including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other emapalumab products may be misleading.The immunogenicity of emapalumab-lzsg has been evaluated using an electrochemiluminescence-based immunoassay (ECLIA). Treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) were detected in 1/33 (3%) of patients in the primary HLH clinical trial. The ADAs in this patient were found to have neutralizing ability. Treatment-emergent ADAs were detected in 5/35 patients (14%) in the two HLH/MAS clinical trials. None of the ADAs in these patients were found to have neutralizing ability. No evidence of an altered pharmacokinetic, safety or efficacy profile was identified in primary HLH or HLH/MAS patients who developed antibodies to emapalumab-lzsg.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Primary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. The efficacy of GAMIFANT was evaluated in multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial NI-0501-04 (NCT01818492) in 27 pediatric patients with suspected or confirmed primary Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with either refractory, recurrent, or progressive disease during conventional HLH therapy or who were intolerant of conventional HLH therapy.Patients were required to fulfill the following criteria for enrollment: primary HLH based on molecular diagnosis or family history consistent with primary HLH or five out of the criteria fulfilled: fever, splenomegaly, cytopenias affecting of lineages in the peripheral blood (hemoglobin 9, platelets 100 109/L, neutrophils 1 109/L), hypertriglyceridemia (fasting triglycerides 3 mmol/L or >=265 mg/dL) and/or hypofibrinogenemia (<=1.5 g/L), hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen, or lymph nodes with no evidence of malignancy, low or absent NK-cell activity, ferritin >=500 mcg/L, soluble CD25 >=2400 U/mL. Patients had to have evidence of active disease as assessed by the treating physician. Patients had to fulfill one of the following criteria as assessed by the treating physician: having not responded or not achieved satisfactory response or not maintained satisfactory response to conventional HLH therapy, or intolerance to conventional HLH treatments. Patients with active infections caused by specific pathogens favored by IFN neutralization were excluded from the trial (e.g., mycobacteria and Histoplasma apsulatum). Patients received prophylaxis for herpes zoster, Pneumocystis jirovecii, and fungal infections.Twenty-seven patients enrolled and received treatment in the study and twenty patients (74%) completed the study. Seven patients (26%) were prematurely withdrawn. Twenty-two patients (81%) enrolled onto the open-label extension study which monitored patients for up to year after HSCT or after the last GAMIFANT infusion (NI-0501-05; NCT02069899).The study treatment duration was up to weeks after which patients could continue treatment on the extension study. All patients received an initial starting dose of GAMIFANT of mg/kg every days. Subsequent doses could be increased to maximum of 10 mg/kg based on clinical and laboratory parameters interpreted as unsatisfactory response. Forty-four percent of patients remained at dose of mg/kg, 30% of patients increased to 3-4 mg/kg and 26% of patients increased to 6-10 mg/kg. The median time to dose increase was 27 days (range: 3-31 days) with 22% of patients requiring dose increase in the first week of treatment.All patients received dexamethasone as background HLH treatment with doses between to 10 mg/m2/day. Cyclosporine was continued if administered prior to screening. Patients receiving methotrexate and glucocorticoids administered intrathecally at baseline could continue these treatments.In Study NI-0501-04, the median patient age was year (0.2 to 13). Fifty-nine percent of the patients were female, 63% were Caucasian, 11% were Asian, and 11% were Black.A genetic mutation known to cause HLH was present in 82% of patients. The most frequent causative mutations were FHL3-UNC13D (MUNC 13-4) (26%), FHL2-PRF1 (19%), and Griscelli Syndrome type (19%).The HLH mutations in the population enrolled are described in Table 6Table 6: HLH Mutations in Patients with Primary HLH with Prior TherapyGAMIFANT(N=27)HLH Genetic Confirmation22 (82)FHL3-UNC13D7 (26)FHL2-PRF15 (19)Griscelli Syndrome type (RAB27A)5 (19)FHL5-STXBP2 (UNC18B)2 (7.4)FHL4-STX111 (3.7)X-linked Lymphoproliferative Disorder 11 (3.7)X-linked Lymphoproliferative Disorder 21 (3.7)All patients received previous HLH treatments. Patients received median of prior agents before enrollment into the trial. Prior regimens included combinations of the following agents: dexamethasone, etoposide, cyclosporine A, and anti-thymocyte globulin.At baseline entry into the study, 78% of patients had elevated ferritin levels, thrombocytopenia (70% with platelet count of 100 109cells/L), hypertriglyceridemia (67%) with triglyceride level >3 mmol/L. Central nervous system findings were present in 37% of patients. Forty-one percent of patients had active infections not due to specific pathogens favored by IFN neutralization at the time of GAMIFANT initiation.The efficacy of GAMIFANT was based upon overall response rate (ORR) at the end of treatment, defined as achievement of either complete or partial response or HLH improvement. ORR was evaluated using an algorithm that included the following objective clinical and laboratory parameters: fever, splenomegaly, central nervous system symptoms, complete blood count, fibrinogen and/or D-dimer, ferritin, and soluble CD25 (also referred to as soluble interleukin-2 receptor) levels. Complete response was defined as normalization of all HLH abnormalities (i.e., no fever, no splenomegaly, neutrophils >1x109/L, platelets >100x109/L, ferritin <2,000 ug/L, fibrinogen >1.50 g/L, D-dimer <500 ug/L, normal CNS symptoms, no worsening of sCD25 >2-fold baseline). Partial response was defined as normalization of >=3 HLH abnormalities. HLH improvement was defined as >=3 HLH abnormalities improved by at least 50% from baseline.Table 7: Overall Response Rate at End of TreatmentGAMIFANT(N=27)Overall Response RateN (%)17 (63)(95% CI)(0.42, 0.81) p-value+0.013Overall Response by CategoryComplete response, (%)7 (26)Partial response8 (30)HLH improvement2 (7.4)+p-value based on Exact Binomial Test at one-sided significance level of 2.5% comparing proportion of patients with overall response to hypothesized null hypothesis of 40%.CI confidence intervalThe median duration of first response, defined as time from achievement of first response to loss of first response, is not reached (range: 4-56+ days). Seventy percent (19/27) of patients proceeded to HSCT.. 14.2 Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis/Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) in Stills disease (including sJIA). The efficacy of GAMIFANT was evaluated in two open-label, single arm, multicenter studies which enrolled total of 39 patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)/macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in Stills disease, including systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA), with an inadequate response to high-dose glucocorticoid treatment.In each study, patients were required to fulfill the following criteria for enrollment: confirmed or suspected diagnosis of sJIA or AOSD; diagnosis of active MAS with ferritin >684 ng/mL and any of these laboratory criteria: platelet count <=181x109/L, AST >48 U/L, triglycerides >156 mg/dL, or fibrinogen levels <=360 mg/dL; an inadequate response to high-dose IV glucocorticoids. Patients with active infections caused by specific pathogens favored by IFN neutralization were excluded from the trial (e.g., mycobacteria and Histoplasma capsulatum).In each study, GAMIFANT was administered at an initial dose of mg/kg, followed by at least mg/kg every days until Day 16, and then twice weekly thereafter. Glucocorticoids and anakinra (<4 mg/kg/d) could be co-administered for the treatment of Stills disease.Pooled DataThe pooled analysis includes all patients from Study NI-0501-06 (NCT03311854) and Study NI-0501-14 (NCT05001737). These two studies enrolled 39 patients who received GAMIFANT, and 37 patients completed the studies (95%). The majority of patients were female (80%) and the median age was 12.0 years (range: 0.9 to 64 years). The racial distribution was White (74%), Asian (10%), Black or African American (5%), and Other (3%), with patients not reporting race (8%). Ethnicity was only collected in Study NI-0501-14 in which 88% reported Not Hispanic or Latino with patients not reporting ethnicity (12%). At baseline, patients had elevated ferritin levels (median 6833 ug/L), elevated ALT (median 259 U/L), and elevated LDH (median 954 U/L).The efficacy of GAMIFANT was based on complete response (CR), composite endpoint consisting of clinical resolution of MAS signs and symptoms (a visual analogue scale (VAS), of <=1 cm [range to 10 cm]) and the following laboratory parameter endpoints: WBC count and platelet count above the lower limit of normal (LLN), LDH, AST and ALT below 1.5xthe upper limit of normal (ULN), fibrinogen >100 mg/dL, and ferritin levels decreased >=80% from values at screening or baseline (whichever was higher) or <2000 ng/mL, whichever was lower (see Table 8).Table - Pooled Efficacy ResultsComposite endpoint and individual components at Week 8n/N% of patients95% CIa Complete response (CR)21/3953.837.2, 69.9Clinical MAS remission (VAS <= cm)b 32/3982.166.5, 92.5Ferritin reduction to 2000 ng/mL or an 80% decreasec 33/3984.669.5, 94.1Platelet count above the LLN34/3987.272.6, 95.7ALT below 1.5x ULN34/3987.272.6, 95.7AST below 1.5xULN37/3994.982.7, 99.4Fibrinogen 100 mg/dL35/3989.775.8, 97.1WBC above the LLN36/3992.379.1, 98.4LDH below 1.5xULN26/3966.749.8, 80.9aClopper-Pearson confidence interval is presented: two-sided 95% confidence intervalbClinical MAS remission was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) where cm referred to no clinical signs or symptoms of MAS and 10 cm referred to the worst possible clinical signs and symptoms of MASc80% decrease calculated from values at screening or baseline (whichever was highest) or 2000 ng/mL, whichever was lowest.

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.


7 DRUG INTERACTIONS. 7.1 Effect of GAMIFANT on Cytochrome P450 Substrates. The formation of CYP450 enzymes may be suppressed by increased levels of cytokines (such as IFN) during chronic inflammation. By neutralizing IFN, use of GAMIFANT may normalize CYP450 activities which may reduce the efficacy of drugs that are CYP450 substrates due to increased metabolism.Upon initiation or discontinuation of concomitant GAMIFANT, monitor for reduced efficacy and adjust dosage of CYP450 substrate drugs as appropriate.

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.5 Geriatric Use. Clinical studies of GAMIFANT did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.

IMMUNOGENICITY.


12.4 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors, including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other emapalumab products may be misleading.The immunogenicity of emapalumab-lzsg has been evaluated using an electrochemiluminescence-based immunoassay (ECLIA). Treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) were detected in 1/33 (3%) of patients in the primary HLH clinical trial. The ADAs in this patient were found to have neutralizing ability. Treatment-emergent ADAs were detected in 5/35 patients (14%) in the two HLH/MAS clinical trials. None of the ADAs in these patients were found to have neutralizing ability. No evidence of an altered pharmacokinetic, safety or efficacy profile was identified in primary HLH or HLH/MAS patients who developed antibodies to emapalumab-lzsg.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere is no information regarding the presence of emapalumab-lzsg in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Published data suggest that only limited amounts of therapeutic antibodies are found in breast milk and they do not enter the neonatal and infant circulations in substantial amounts.The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for GAMIFANT and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from GAMIFANT or from the underlying maternal condition.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Emapalumab-lzsg is monoclonal antibody that binds to and neutralizes interferon gamma (IFN). Nonclinical data suggest that IFN plays pivotal role in the pathogenesis of HLH by being hypersecreted.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. No carcinogenicity or genotoxicity studies have been conducted with emapalumab-lzsg.No studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of emapalumab-lzsg on fertility; however, no adverse effects on male or female reproductive organs were observed in the 8- or 13-week repeat-dose toxicity studies in cynomolgus monkeys.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.4 Pediatric Use. Safety and effectiveness of GAMIFANT have been established in pediatric patients with primary HLH that is reactivated or refractory to conventional therapies and with HLH/MAS in Stills Disease (including sJIA) with an inadequate response to glucocorticoids [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Use of GAMIFANT is supported by single-arm trials which included 57 pediatric patients: 27 with primary HLH and 30 with HLH/MAS in Stills disease. These studies included pediatric patients in the following age groups: patients newborn to months, 13 patients months to years, 27 patients from years to <12 years, and 12 patients from 12 years to <17 years.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. IFN InhibitionEmapalumab-lzsg reduces the plasma concentrations of CXCL9, chemokine induced by IFN.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyAt dose of mg/kg GAMIFANT does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of emapalumab-lzsg were evaluated in healthy adult subjects and in patients with HLH.Following 1 mg/kg emapalumab-lzsg dose, median steady state peak concentration was 44 mcg/mL, which was 2.9 times higher than after the first dose. The median steady state trough concentration was 25 mcg/mL, which was 4.3 times higher than after the first dose.Emapalumab-lzsg AUC increases slightly more than proportionally between and mg/kg doses, and less than proportionally at 3, 6, and 10 mg/kg doses.Emapalumab-lzsg exhibits target-mediated-like clearance dependent on IFN production, which can vary between and within patients as function of time and can affect the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] Emapalumab-lzsg steady state is achieved by the 7th infusion when the IFN production is moderate. At high IFN production, steady-state is reached earlier due to shorter half-life.. DistributionThe central and peripheral volumes of distribution in subject with body weight of 70 kg are 2.8 and 4.4 L, respectively.. EliminationEmapalumab-lzsg elimination half-life is approximately 22 days in healthy subjects and ranged from 2.5 to 18.9 days in HLH patients.In patients with HLH, the elimination half-life of emapalumab-lzsg was significantly influenced by the amount of IFN within the patient, demonstrating target mediated clearance-like mechanism. The elimination half-life of emapalumab-lzsg is reduced as the concentration of IFN increases.Emapalumab-lzsg clearance is approximately 0.007 L/h in healthy subjects.. MetabolismThe metabolic pathway of emapalumab-lzsg has not been characterized. Like other protein therapeutics, GAMIFANT is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways.. Specific PopulationsBody weight (3 to 80 kg) was significant covariate of emapalumab-lzsg pharmacokinetics, supporting body weight-based dosing.No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of emapalumab-lzsg were observed based on age (0.02 to 64 year), sex (53% Females), race (71.4% Caucasian, 12.2% Asian and 8.2% Black), renal impairment including dialysis, or hepatic impairment (mild, moderate, and severe).. Drug Interaction StudiesNo drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with GAMIFANT.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryThere are no available data on GAMIFANT use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. In an animal reproduction study, murine surrogate anti-mouse IFN antibody administered to pregnant mice throughout gestation crossed the placental barrier, and no fetal harm was observed (see Data) .The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have 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 miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.. Data. Animal DataIn mouse embryo-fetal development study, murine surrogate anti-mouse IFN antibody was administered every 3-4 days throughout organogenesis and late gestation at doses of 0, 30, 75 or 150 mg/kg/occasion. The surrogate antibody was detected in the plasma of all treated pregnant mice and their corresponding fetuses. No maternal toxicity occurred and there was no evidence of teratogenicity or effects on embryo-fetal survival or growth.

Consider administering prophylactic treatment against herpes zoster, Pneumocystis jirovecii and fungal infections. (5.1)Live Vaccines: Do not administer live or live attenuated vaccines to patients receiving GAMIFANT. (5.2)Infusion-Related Reactions: Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions. Interrupt infusion for infusion reactions and institute appropriate medical management. (5.3). Infections: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms and treat promptly. Test for latent tuberculosis. Consider administering prophylactic treatment against herpes zoster, Pneumocystis jirovecii and fungal infections. (5.1). Live Vaccines: Do not administer live or live attenuated vaccines to patients receiving GAMIFANT. (5.2). Infusion-Related Reactions: Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions. Interrupt infusion for infusion reactions and institute appropriate medical management. (5.3). 5.1 Infections. GAMIFANT may increase the risk of fatal and serious infections to include specific pathogens favored by IFN neutralization, including mycobacteria, herpes zoster virus, and Histoplasma capsulatum.Do not administer GAMIFANT in patients with infections caused by these pathogens until appropriate treatment has been initiated.In patients with primary HLH receiving GAMIFANT in clinical trials, serious infections such as sepsis, pneumonia, bacteremia, disseminated histoplasmosis, necrotizing fasciitis, viral infections, and perforated appendicitis were observed in 32% of patients. The reported infections were viral (41%), bacterial (35%), fungal (9%), and the pathogen was not identified in 15% of cases.In patients with HLH/MAS in Stills disease receiving GAMIFANT in clinical trials, serious infections such as pneumonia, cytomegalovirus infection, cytomegalovirus infection reactivation, and sepsis were observed in 13% of patients. The reported infections were viral (44%), bacterial (13%), fungal (3%) and the pathogen was not identified in (13%) of patients.In the GAMIFANT clinical trials, additional infections were reported in patients treated with GAMIFANT including herpes zoster (2.4%) and mycobacterial infections (2.4%).Evaluate patients for tuberculosis risk factors and test for latent infection (PPD testing, PCR, or IFN release assay) prior to initiating GAMIFANT. Administer tuberculosis prophylaxis to patients at risk for tuberculosis or known to have positive purified protein derivative (PPD) test result [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].Consider prophylaxis for herpes zoster, Pneumocystis jirovecii,and fungal infection to mitigate the risk to patients while receiving GAMIFANT [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].Employ surveillance testing during treatment with GAMIFANT.Closely monitor patients receiving GAMIFANT for signs or symptoms of infection, promptly initiate complete diagnostic workup appropriate for an immunocompromised patient, and initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy.. 5.2 Increased Risk of Infection with Use of Live Vaccines. Do not administer live or live attenuated vaccines to patients receiving GAMIFANT and for at least weeks after the last dose of GAMIFANT. The safety of immunization with live vaccines during or following GAMIFANT therapy has not been studied.. 5.3 Infusion-Related Reactions. Infusion-related reactions in patients with primary HLH, including drug eruption, pyrexia, rash, erythema, and hyperhidrosis, were reported with GAMIFANT treatment in 27% of patients. In one-third of these patients, the infusion-related reaction occurred during the first infusion.Infusion-related reactions in patients with HLH/MAS in Stills disease, including pyrexia, headache, paresthesia, bone pain, pruritic rash, and peripheral coldness, were reported with GAMIFANT treatment in 13% of patients. Infusion-related reactions were reported as mild in 8% of patients and as moderate in 5% of patients.Infusion-related reactions were defined as any event reported to have occurred within 24 hours after the start of infusion and assessed as related to GAMIFANT.In the GAMIFANT clinical trials, additional infusion-related reactions that were reported in less than 3% of patients treated with GAMIFANT included: malaise, sinus tachycardia, feeling hot, and acute respiratory failure.Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions which can be severe. Interrupt the infusion for infusion reactions and institute appropriate medical management prior to continuing infusion at slower rate.
