Important Preparation and Administration Instructions Administer diluted YARTEMLEA as an intravenous infusion through a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or PVC-lined infusion line with a 0.2-micron polyethersulfone (PES) in-line filter and a polyurethane catheter. For adults and pediatric patients weighing 10 kg or more , prepare YARTEMLEA in an intravenous bag, diluted to final concentration of 0.8 mg/mL to 8 mg/mL and administer by gravity infusion or via an infusion pump [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 and 2.5 )] .
For pediatric patients weighing less than 10 kg , prepare YARTEMLEA in a polypropylene syringe, diluted to final concentration of 0.8 mg/mL and administer via a syringe pump [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 and 2.5 )] .
Preparation Instructions into an Intravenous Bag This section describes preparation of YARTEMLEA for adults and pediatric patients weighing 10 kg or more in an intravenous bag. 1. Preparation Use aseptic technique to prepare YARTEMLEA. Parenteral drug-product vial should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
YARTEMLEA is a clear to slightly opalescent, slightly yellow to yellow-brown solution. If discoloration or particles are observed in the vial, discard it. Calculate the dose (mg) based on the patient's body weight and the total volume (mL) of YARTEMLEA solution required. Remove the YARTEMLEA vial from the refrigerator and allow the vial to come to room temperature (18°C to 25°C [64°F to 77°F]) for 30 minutes.
Vial must be used to prepare the appropriate dosing solution within 4 hours following removal from refrigerated storage. 2. Dilution for Intravenous Bag Infusion Withdraw the required volume of YARTEMLEA solution from the vial using a polypropylene syringe and dilute in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) infusion bag of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to make a final concentration of 0.8 mg/mL to 8 mg/mL with a total volume not to exceed 50 mL.
Discard any unused portion left in the vial. Gently invert infusion bag 10 times to mix the diluted solution. Do not shake. Following dilution of YARTEMLEA in the infusion bag, the solution may become opalescent, and small translucent-to-white particles may appear. Discard prepared solution if particulate matter, other than translucent-to-white particles, is observed.
Preparation Instructions into an Intravenous Syringe This section describes preparation of YARTEMLEA for pediatric patients weighing less than 10 kg in a syringe. 1. Preparation Use aseptic technique to prepare YARTEMLEA. Parenteral drug-product vial should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
YARTEMLEA is a clear to slightly opalescent, slightly yellow to yellow-brown solution. If discoloration or particles are observed in the vial, discard it. Calculate the dose (mg) based on the patient's body weight and the total volume (mL) of YARTEMLEA solution required. Remove the YARTEMLEA vial from the refrigerator and allow the vial to come to room temperature (18°C to 25°C [64°F to 77°F]) for 30 minutes.
Vial must be used to prepare the appropriate dosing solution within 4 hours following removal from refrigerated storage. 2. Dilution for Intravenous Syringe Infusion Withdraw the required volume of YARTEMLEA solution from the vial using a polypropylene syringe. Discard any unused portion left in the vial. Dilute in 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to make a final concentration of 0.8 mg/mL with a total volume not to exceed 50 mL.
Gently invert syringe 10 times to mix the diluted solution. Do not shake. Following dilution of YARTEMLEA in the syringe, the solution may become opalescent, and small translucent-to-white particles may appear. Discard prepared solution if particulate matter, other than translucent-to-white particles, is observed. Remove air bubbles from the syringe before administration.
Storage and Administration Storage of Diluted Product If the prepared diluted solution is not used immediately, store the diluted YARTEMLEA solution at room temperature at 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F) for up to 4 additional hours. Discard unused YARTEMLEA solution if not used within 4 hours from the time of dilution to the end of the infusion.
Administration Administer YARTEMLEA diluted solution intravenously by gravity infusion or via infusion pump (for solution prepared in an intravenous bag) or via syringe pump (for solution prepared in a syringe) over 30 minutes through a PVC or PVC-lined infusion line with a 0.2-micron polyethersulfone (PES) in-line filter and a polyurethane catheter.
Flush the intravenous line at the end of the infusion with sufficient volume of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to clear the line of YARTEMLEA infusion solution. Do not co-administer other drugs through the same intravenous line.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The available data on the use of YARTEMLEA during pregnancy are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, narsoplimab-wuug was administered subcutaneously and intravenously twice weekly to pregnant mice and rabbits during organogenesis at dose exposures up to 22 and 91-fold, respectively, the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) based on area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). There were no adverse effects observed in the absence of maternal toxicity (see Data ) .
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a 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 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses and peaks during the third trimester. Therefore, it is expected that YARTEMLEA, following administration, will be present in infants exposed in utero during the third trimester.
The potential clinical impact of narsoplimab-wuug exposure on infants exposed in utero should be considered. Data Animal Data Narsoplimab-wuug was administered to pregnant mice at doses of 50, 150, or 300 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection and 300 mg/kg by intravenous injection approximately twice weekly during the major period of organogenesis. Intravenous administration caused reduced body weight gain in dams, reduced fetal body weight up to 4.8%, and an increase of approximately 33% in post-implantation loss at 22-fold the exposure expected at the MRHD (based on AUC) of 4 mg/kg intravenously once weekly in humans.
Narsoplimab-wuug was administered to pregnant rabbits at doses of 50 or 150 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection and 150 mg/kg by intravenous injection approximately twice weekly during the major period of organogenesis. Intravenous administration increased post-implantation loss during early gestation days and reduced fetal body weights up to 8.5% below controls at 91-fold the exposure expected at the MRHD (based on AUC) of 4 mg/kg intravenously once weekly in humans. In an enhanced pre- and postnatal development study, pregnant mice were dosed with narsoplimab-wuug at doses up to 300 mg/kg intravenously twice weekly from day 6…
