Adverse Reactions

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Serious Meningococcal Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Other Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Infusion-Related Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Allergies to Acrylic Adhesives [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] Most common adverse reactions in patients with PNH (incidence ≥ 10%) were upper respiratory tract infection and headache. Injection site reactions and diarrhea occurred in patients (incidence ≥ 10%) receiving ULTOMIRIS subcutaneously ( 6.1 ). Most common adverse reactions in patients with aHUS (incidence ≥ 20%) were upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, hypertension, and pyrexia ( 6.1 ). Most common adverse reactions in adult patients with gMG (incidence ≥ 10%) were diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infection ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-844-259-6783 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 a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Adult Population with PNH Treated with Intravenous ULTOMIRIS The data described below reflect exposure of 441 adult patients with PNH in Phase 3 studies who received intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS (n = 222) or eculizumab (n = 219) at the recommended dosing regimens with median treatment duration of 6 months for ULTOMIRIS and 6 months for eculizumab. The most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 10%) with ULTOMIRIS were upper respiratory tract infection and headache. Table 11 describes adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 5% or more among patients treated with ULTOMIRIS in PNH studies. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 15 (6.8%) patients with PNH receiving ULTOMIRIS. The serious adverse reactions in patients treated with ULTOMIRIS included hyperthermia and pyrexia. No serious adverse reaction was reported in more than 1 patient treated with ULTOMIRIS. One fatal case of sepsis was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS.

Pediatric Population with PNH Treated with Intravenous ULTOMIRIS In pediatric patients with PNH (aged 9 to 17 years old) included in the pediatric PNH Phase 3 study, the safety profile appeared similar to that observed in adult patients with PNH and in pediatric and adult patients with aHUS. The most common adverse reactions (> 20%) were upper respiratory tract infection, anemia, abdominal pain, and headache. Table 12 describes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 10% or more among pediatric patients treated with ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in Study ALXN1210-PNH-304.

The most frequent adverse reactions reported in ≥ 20% of patients treated with ULTOMIRIS were upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, hypertension, and pyrexia. Table 14, Table 15 and Table 16 describe adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 10% or more among patients treated with ULTOMIRIS in aHUS studies. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 42 (57%) patients with aHUS receiving ULTOMIRIS. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in more than 2 patients (2.7%) treated with ULTOMIRIS were hypertension, pneumonia, and abdominal pain. Four patients died during the ALXN1210-aHUS-311 study. The cause of death was sepsis in 2 patients and intracranial hemorrhage in 1 patient. The fourth patient, who was excluded from the trial after a diagnosis of STEC-HUS, died due to pretreatment cerebral arterial thrombosis.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) Adult Population with gMG Treated with Intravenous ULTOMIRIS The safety of ULTOMIRIS has been evaluated in 175 adult patients with gMG, including 169 patients who received at least one dose of intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS, 142 patients who were exposed for at least 6 months, and 95 who were exposed for at least 12 months [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ]. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ALXN1210-MG-306), the most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 10%) with ULTOMIRIS were diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infection. Table 17 describes adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 5% or more and at greater frequency than placebo. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 20 (23%) patients with gMG receiving ULTOMIRIS and in 14 (16%) patients receiving placebo. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were infections reported in at least 8 (9%) patients treated with ULTOMIRIS and in 4 (4%) patients treated with placebo [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Of these infections, one fatal case of COVID-19 pneumonia was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS and one case of infection led to discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS. Table 17: Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥ 5% and at Greater Frequency than Placebo in Intravenous ULTOMIRIS-Treated Adult Patients with gMG in Study ALXN1210-MG-306 Body System Adverse Reaction Number of Patients ULTOMIRIS (IV) (N=86) n (%) Placebo (N=89) n (%) Gastrointestinal Disorders Diarrhea 13 (15) 11 (12) Abdominal pain 5 (6) 0 Infections and Infestations Upper respiratory tract infection 12 (14) 7 (8) Urinary tract infection 5 (6) 4 (4) Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders Back Pain 7 (8) 5 (6) Nervous System Disorders Dizziness 8 (9) 3 (3) 6.2 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 antibodies) 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 ravulizumab-cwvz products may be misleading. The immunogenicity of ravulizumab-cwvz has been evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of binding anti-ravulizumab-cwvz antibodies. For patients whose sera tested positive in the screening immunoassay, an in vitro biological assay was performed to detect neutralizing antibodies. In clinical studies with intravenous administration of ULTOMIRIS, treatment-emergent antibodies to ravulizumab-cwvz were detected in 1 of 219 (0.5%) patients with PNH and 1 of 71 (1.4%) patients with aHUS. In these 2 patient populations, no apparent correlation of antibody development to altered pharmacokinetic profile, clinical response, or adverse events was observed. No treatment-emergent antibodies to ravulizumab-cwvz were detected in patients with gMG treated with ULTOMIRIS. In patients receiving subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS (N = 128), no treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies were observed. However, the assay used to measure anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is subject to interference by serum ravulizumab-cwvz, possibly resulting in an underestimation of the incidence of antibody formation. Due to the limitation of the assay conditions, the potential clinical impact of antibodies to ravulizumab-cwvz is not known. 6.3 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of ULTOMIRIS. Because these reactions 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 ULTOMIRIS exposure. Serious Adverse Reaction: Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ]

Description

11 DESCRIPTION Ravulizumab-cwvz, a complement inhibitor, is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Ravulizumab-cwvz consists of 2 identical 448 amino acid heavy chains and 2 identical 214 amino acid light chains and has a molecular weight of approximately 148 kDa. The constant regions of ravulizumab-cwvz include the human kappa light chain constant region, and the protein engineered "IgG2/4" heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain CH1 domain, hinge region, and the first 5 amino acids of the CH2 domain match the human IgG2 amino acid sequence, residues 6 to 36 in the CH2 region (common to both human IgG2 and IgG4 amino acid sequences), while the remainder of the CH2 domain and the CH3 domain match the human IgG4 amino acid sequence. The heavy and light chain variable regions that form the human C5 binding site consist of human framework regions grafted to murine complementarity-determining regions.

A supplemental dose of ULTOMIRIS is required in the setting of PE, PP, or IVIg (Table 4). Table 4: Supplemental Dose of ULTOMIRIS after PE, PP, or IVIg See Table 7 and Table 10 for selection of the proper total volume and maximum infusion rate [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] Body Weight Range (kg) Most Recent ULTOMIRIS Dose (mg) Supplemental Dose (mg) following each PE or PP Intervention Supplemental Dose (mg) following Completion of an IVIg Cycle Abbreviations: IVIg = intravenous immunoglobulin; PE = plasma exchange; PP = plasmapheresis 40 to less than 60 2,400 1,200 600 3,000 1,500 60 to less than 100 2,700 1,500 600 3,300 1,800 100 or greater 3,000 1,500 600 3,600 1,800 Timing of ULTOMIRIS Supplemental Dose Within 4 hours following each PE or PP intervention Within 4 hours following completion of an IVIg cycle 2.6 Preparation and Administration Preparation of ULTOMIRIS Vials for Intravenous Administration Each vial of ULTOMIRIS is intended for single-dose only. ULTOMIRIS vials are for intravenous administration by a healthcare provider and are intended for intravenous administration only. Dilute before use. Do not mix ULTOMIRIS 100 mg/mL (3 mL and 11 mL vials) and 10 mg/mL (30 mL vial) concentrations together . Use aseptic technique to prepare ULTOMIRIS as follows: 1. The number of vials to be diluted is determined based on the individual patient's weight and the prescribed dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . 2. Prior to dilution, visually inspect the solution in the vials; the solution should be free of any particulate matter or precipitation. Do not use if there is evidence of particulate matter or precipitation. 3. Withdraw the calculated volume of ULTOMIRIS from the appropriate number of vials and dilute in an infusion bag using 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP to a final concentration of: 50 mg/mL for the 3 mL and 11 mL vial sizes or 5 mg/mL for the 30 mL vial size. The product should be mixed gently. Do not shake. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Refer to the following reference tables for IV preparation and minimum infusion duration: ULTOMIRIS 100 mg/mL (3 mL and 11 mL vials): see Table 5 (loading doses) , Table 6 (maintenance doses) , and Table 7 (supplemental doses) ULTOMIRIS 10 mg/mL (30 mL vial): see Table 8 (loading doses) , Table 9 (maintenance doses) , and Table 10 (supplemental doses) 4. Administer the prepared solution immediately following preparation. 5. If the diluted ULTOMIRIS infusion solution is not used immediately, storage under refrigeration at 2°C - 8°C (36°F - 46°F) must not exceed 24 hours taking into account the expected infusion time. Once removed from refrigeration, administer the diluted ULTOMIRIS infusion solution within 6 hours if prepared with ULTOMIRIS 30 mL vials or within 4 hours if prepared with ULTOMIRIS 3 mL or 11 mL vials. Intravenous Administration of ULTOMIRIS (Healthcare Providers) Only administer as an intravenous infusion through a 0.2 or 0.22 micron filter. Dilute ULTOMIRIS to a final concentration of: 50 mg/mL for the 3 mL and 11 mL vial sizes or 5 mg/mL for the 30 mL vial size. Prior to administration, allow the admixture to adjust to room temperature (18°C - 25°C, 64°F - 77°F). Do not heat the admixture in a microwave or with any heat source other than ambient air temperature.

Monitor the patient for at least 1 hour following completion of the infusion for signs or symptoms of an infusion-related reaction. Preparation of ULTOMIRIS On-Body Delivery System for Subcutaneous Administration ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system is intended for administration by patients/caregivers. Patients/caregivers may administer after training from a healthcare provider. Refer to the Instructions for Use for detailed instructions on how to use and administer subcutaneous ULTOMIRIS. Remove 2 cartons of ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system for subcutaneous administration from the refrigerator. Two on-body injectors and 2 prefilled cartridges are required for a full dose (490 mg). Inspect the packaging. The on-body injectors or cartridges should not be used if they have been dropped or appear to be broken or damaged. Wait at least 45 minutes for the on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges in the cartons to naturally reach room temperature prior to administration. Do not return to the refrigerator. Discard after 3 days if unused. Before administration, visually inspect the solution. The solution should not be injected if it contains flakes or particles, or is cloudy or discolored. Subcutaneous Administration of ULTOMIRIS On-Body Delivery System ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system is for subcutaneous administration into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm region. A patient may self-administer, or the patient caregiver may administer ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system after the healthcare provider determines it is appropriate. Injection sites should be rotated, and injections should not be given into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Avoid injecting into areas with scars or stretch marks. The 2 on-body delivery systems can be administered concurrently or sequentially. Each injection is delivered over approximately 10 minutes. Load the first clean cartridge into the first on-body injector and secure in place before closing the cartridge door on the injector. Do not insert the cartridge more than 5 minutes before the injection to avoid drying out the solution. Peel away the adhesive backing of the first on-body injector and apply onto the clean, dry, chosen injection site (thigh, abdomen, or upper arm). Start the injection by firmly pressing and releasing the blue start button. Do not remove until the injection is complete (signaled by the solid green status light, 3 beeping sounds, and the white plunger filling the medicine window). Repeat steps 1-4 for the second on-body injector. If an allergic reaction occurs during the subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS, treatment should be stopped, the on-body injector(s) should be removed, and the patient should seek medical attention prior to further administration. The patient should monitor for signs or symptoms of infusion-related reaction for at least 1 hour following completion of the injection. Any unused medicinal product and waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Plasma Exchange, Plasmapheresis, or Intravenous Immunoglobulins: concomitant use requires supplemental dose of ULTOMIRIS ( 7.1 ). Neonatal Fc Receptor Blockers: Closely monitor for reduced effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS ( 7.2 ). 7.1 Plasma Exchange, Plasmapheresis, and Intravenous Immunoglobulins Concomitant use of ULTOMIRIS with plasma exchange (PE), plasmapheresis (PP), or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment can reduce serum ravulizumab concentrations and requires a supplemental dose of ULTOMIRIS [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ]. 7.2 Neonatal Fc Receptor Blockers Concomitant use of ULTOMIRIS with neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blockers (e.g., efgartigimod) may lower systemic exposures and reduce effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS. Closely monitor for reduced effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Ravulizumab-cwvz is a terminal complement inhibitor that specifically binds to the complement protein C5 with high affinity, thereby inhibiting its cleavage to C5a (the proinflammatory anaphylatoxin) and C5b (the initiating subunit of the membrane attack complex [MAC or C5b-9]) thus preventing MAC formation. ULTOMIRIS inhibits terminal complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis in patients with PNH and complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in patients with aHUS. The precise mechanism by which ravulizumab-cwvz exerts its therapeutic effect in gMG patients is unknown, but is presumed to involve reduction of terminal complement complex C5b-9 deposition at the neuromuscular junction. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Complete inhibition of serum free C5 (concentration of less than 0.5 mcg/mL) was observed by the end of the first ULTOMIRIS intravenous infusion and sustained throughout the entire 26-week treatment period in both adult and pediatric patients with PNH, in the majority (93%) of adult and pediatric patients with aHUS, and all adult patients with gMG. Complete inhibition of serum free C5 (concentration of less than 0.5 mcg/mL) was observed by the end of the first ULTOMIRIS subcutaneous administration and was sustained throughout the entire treatment period. The extent and duration of the pharmacodynamic response in patients with PNH, aHUS, and gMG were exposure-dependent for ULTOMIRIS. Free C5 levels of < 0.5 mcg/mL were correlated with maximal intravascular hemolysis control and complete terminal complement inhibition in patients with PNH. Complete terminal complement inhibition following initiation of ULTOMIRIS intravenous treatment led to normalization of serum LDH by week 4 in complement-inhibitor naïve patients with PNH, and maintained LDH normalization in patients previously treated with eculizumab with PNH [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . The PD results following ULTOMIRIS subcutaneous treatment are consistent with results in adult patients with PNH and aHUS treated with intravenous ULTOMIRIS. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following ULTOMIRIS intravenous (IV) treatment, ravulizumab-cwvz pharmacokinetics increase proportionally over a dose range of 200 to 5400 mg. Ravulizumab-cwvz C max and C trough parameters are presented in Table 18, Table 19, and Table 20.

Body weight was a clinically significant covariate on the pharmacokinetics of ravulizumab-cwvz. Drug Interactions No drug-drug interaction studies have been performed. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and FcRn blocker treatment may interfere with the endosomal neonatal FcRn recycling mechanism of monoclonal antibodies such as ravulizumab and thereby decrease serum ravulizumab concentrations [see Drug Interactions (7.1 , 7.2) ] . Concomitant PE, PP, or IVIg treatment requires a supplemental dose of ULTOMIRIS [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .

Information For Patients

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patients and/or caregivers to read FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide and Instructions for Use). Meningococcal Infection Advise patients of the risk of meningococcal infection/sepsis. Inform patients that they are required to receive meningococcal vaccination at least 2 weeks prior to receiving the first dose of ULTOMIRIS if they have not previously been vaccinated. They are required to be revaccinated according to current medical guidelines for meningococcal vaccines use while on ULTOMIRIS therapy. Inform patients that vaccination may not prevent meningococcal infection. Inform patients about the signs and symptoms of meningococcal infection/sepsis, and strongly advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if these signs or symptoms occur. These signs and symptoms are as follows: headache with nausea or vomiting headache and a fever headache with a stiff neck or stiff back fever fever and a rash confusion muscle aches with flu-like symptoms eyes sensitive to light Inform patients that they will be given an ULTOMIRIS Patient Safety Card that they should carry with them at all times. This card describes symptoms which, if experienced, should prompt the patient to immediately seek medical evaluation. ULTOMIRIS REMS ULTOMIRIS is available only through a restricted program called ULTOMIRIS REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Inform the patient of the following notable requirements: Patients must receive counseling about the risk of serious meningococcal infections. Patients must receive written educational materials about this risk. Patients must carry the Patient Safety Card with them at all times during and for 8 months following treatment with ULTOMIRIS. Patients must be vaccinated against meningococcal disease prior to treatment with ULTOMIRIS or receive 2 weeks of antibacterial drug prophylaxis if treatment must be initiated immediately and vaccines are administered less than 2 weeks before starting ULTOMIRIS. Other Infections Counsel patients of the increased risk of infections, particularly those due to encapsulated bacteria, especially Neisseria species. Advise patients of the need for vaccination against meningococcal infections according to current medical guidelines. Counsel patients about gonorrhea prevention and advise regular testing for patients at risk. Advise patients to report any new signs and symptoms of infection. Discontinuation Inform patients with PNH or aHUS that they may develop hemolysis or TMA, respectively, when ULTOMIRIS is discontinued and that they will be monitored by their healthcare professional for at least 16 weeks for PNH or at least 12 months for aHUS following ULTOMIRIS discontinuation. Inform patients who discontinue ULTOMIRIS to keep the ULTOMIRIS Patient Safety Card with them for 8 months after the last ULTOMIRIS dose, because the increased risk of meningococcal infection persists for several months following discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS. Infusion-Related Reactions Advise patients that administration of ULTOMIRIS may result in infusion-related reactions. Allergies to Acrylic Adhesives Advise patients that the single-use on-body injector used in subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS contains acrylic adhesive that may cause allergic reactions to individuals sensitive to acrylic adhesives. Administration Provide training to patients and caregivers on proper subcutaneous administration technique and how to use the single-use on-body injector with prefilled cartridge correctly. Inform patients that 2 on-body delivery systems (on-body injector with prefilled -cartridge) are required for a full dose. Additionally, inform patients that it will take about 10 minutes to administer each ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system for subcutaneous administration. The single-use on-body injector with prefilled cartridge is not made with natural rubber latex.

Do not press the blue start button on the injector until you place the loaded injector onto your skin and are ready to inject. After you insert the cartridge into the injector, make sure you inject within 5 minutes. Loading the cartridge more than 5 minutes before your injection can dry out the medicine. Do not use the injector or cartridge if the packaging appears to be opened, or if the injector or cartridge has been dropped or appears to be broken or damaged. Part of the on-body injector or prefilled cartridge may be broken even if you cannot see the damage. Do not reuse the on-body injector and prefilled cartridge. They are single-use only. Do not let the injector get wet from water or other liquids. It contains electronic parts that should not get wet. Keep the on-body injector a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) away from other electronics such as cellular phones. Do not use the injector or cartridge past the expiration date printed on the carton and cartridge. Step 1: Prepare 1A Remove 2 ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system cartons from the refrigerator. You will need to use 2 injectors and 2 cartridges for a full dose. (See Figure A ) 1B Wait at least 45 minutes. Important: Wait at least 45 minutes for the injectors and cartridges in the cartons to naturally reach room temperature. (See Figure B ) Do not use a microwave, hot water, hair dryer, or any other heat sources to warm the prefilled cartridge. Do not return to the refrigerator. The injectors and cartridges may be stored in the original carton box at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) for up to 3 days. Throw away (discard) after 3 days if unused. See the Frequently Asked Questions section for additional information on returning the on-body injector and prefilled cartridge to the refrigerator. 1C Open the cartons and peel away the white paper covers (See Figure C ). Remove the plastic covers from the clear trays using the finger hole (See Figure D ). Leave the injectors and cartridges in the trays until ready to use. Do not touch the blue start button until the injectors are on your skin and you are ready to inject. Do not use if the white paper cover(s) or plastic cover(s) is missing or damaged. If either is missing, call 1-888-765-4747. 1D Gather all supplies needed for your injection and then wash your hands with soap and water. You can also wear gloves. On a clean, well-lit work surface, place the: 2 clear trays containing the on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges (See Figure E ) Additional supplies (See Figure F ): Alcohol wipes Cotton ball or gauze pad Adhesive bandage Sharps disposal container 1E Prepare and clean 2 different injection sites. Wipe both injection sites with a new alcohol wipe and let your skin air dry. (See Figure G ) The sites you may choose are: Do not inject into areas of the skin that are tender, bruised, red or hard, or areas with wrinkles, skin folds, scars, tattoos, stretch marks, moles, or excessive hair. Do not use the same sites 2 weeks in a row. Change (rotate) your injection sites every week to reduce irritation. REPEAT Steps 2A - 3C for each injection Step 2: Get Ready 2A Swing open the blue cartridge door (See Figure H ). Leave the door open. Do not close the cartridge door before the cartridge is loaded. The door should not be closed when removed from the package. If the door is closed, press firmly on the ribbed side of the door and swing the door to open. (See Figure I ) 2B Inspect the cartridge. (See Figure J ) Check the expiration date. Do not use the cartridge if the expiration date has passed. Check the medicine in the cartridge. The medicine should be clear and colorless to slightly yellow in color. Do not use if the medicine is cloudy, discolored, or contains flakes or particles. Do not use if any part of cartridge looks cracked, broken, or if pieces are missing. In any of the above cases, use a new on-body injector and prefilled cartridge and contact 1-888-765-4747. 2C Clean the cartridge bottom with a new alcohol wipe. (See Figure K ) With 1 hand, hold the prefilled cartridge barrel in the middle. Do not hold it by the ends. Do not turn (rotate) or remove the top or bottom of the cartridge. Do not touch the cartridge bottom after cleaning. 2D Load the cleaned cartridge into the injector and gently press on the top until it is secured in place. (See Figure L ) Insert the cartridge into the injector with the arrow pointing down (bottom first). Note: It is okay to see a few drops of the medicine coming out of the needle. Important: Do not insert the cartridge more than 5 minutes before your injection. This can dry out the medicine. See the Frequently Asked Questions section for more information. 2E Close the cartridge door. Squeeze it firmly until it snaps shut and there are no gaps between the injector and the cartridge door. (See Figure M) Do not re-open door or remove the cartridge. Do not touch the blue start button until you have placed the injector onto your skin or the injector will not work. Important: Go to the next step right away after loading the cartridge and closing the door. Step 3: Inject 3A Peel away both green pull tabs to show adhesive. (See Figure N ) The Injector will turn on when the smaller pull tab is removed (along with battery strip). You will hear 3 "beeps" repeating every 30 seconds until the blue button is pressed. The status light will begin to flash blue. Do not pull the skin adhesive backing off of the injector. Do not touch the skin adhesive. Do not touch the start button until you have placed the loaded injector onto your skin. To prevent injury, do not touch the needle cover area. Do not place the loaded injector on your body if the red status light flashes continuously. Do not fold the skin adhesive over onto itself. 3B Stick the injector onto the clean, dry, chosen injection site(s). (See Figure O ) Place the injector so that: You can see the status light. The injectors are at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Clothing is kept away from adhesive. Firmly press the injector onto the skin. Run your finger around the adhesive edges to make sure the adhesive is secure. Do not move the loaded injector after it has been placed onto your skin. Important: If placing on stomach, stretch any loose skin as shown with 1 hand. Standing up may make this easier. 3C Firmly press and release the blue start button on the injector to start the injection. (See Figure P ) You will hear 3 "beeps" when the blue button is pressed and injection starts. The status light will flash green during the injection. The sound of the injector motor will be heard for about 10 minutes during the injection. You may feel a pinch. Light physical activities can be done during injection, such as walking, reaching, and bending. The injector should stay dry. Do not let the injector get wet from water or other liquids. It contains electronic parts that should not get wet. Important: If you have a serious allergic reaction (such as chest pain, trouble breathing, facial swelling, and/or feeling faint), remove the injector(s) to stop the injection and get medical help right away. 3D REPEAT Steps 2A - 3C with the second injector . You must use 2 injectors to receive 1 full dose. When the second injector is activated, continue to Step 4. Step 4: Monitor 4A Monitor both injectors until they are complete. Each injection takes about 10 minutes to finish. (See Figure Q ) The Injection is complete when each injector: Status light turns solid green. Begins "beeping" 3 times every 30 seconds. White plunger fills the medicine window. (See Figure Q ) Step 5: Removal and Disposal 5A Remove the injectors after both injections are complete. Grip the adhesive and peel the injectors off your skin. (See Figure R ) The green status light will turn off when the injector is removed from your skin. The injector will "beep" 3 times and then stop making noise. 5B Dispose of (throw away) the used ULTOMIRIS on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges. (See Figure S ) Put the used ULTOMIRIS on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) the ULTOMIRIS on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges in your household trash. If you do not have an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is: - made of a heavy-duty plastic, - can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out, - upright and stable during use, - leak-resistant, and - properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container. When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away needles and syringes. For more information about safe sharps disposal, and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state you live in, go to the FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container. 5C Check the injection sites. If there is blood at the injection sites, press a cotton ball or gauze pad on site. Apply an adhesive bandage if necessary. Do not rub the injection site. Troubleshooting What do I do if the loaded on-body injector status light flashes red and I hear "beeps"? Important: If the status light turns red, injector leaks, or either injector does not complete injection, remove and call 1-888-765-4747 immediately (See Figure T ). A red status light indicates that the injector will not work. Frequently Asked Questions How many on-body injectors do I need for a full dose? You need 2 on-body injectors and 2 prefilled cartridges for a full weekly dose. You may prepare and use 2 on-body injectors and 2 prefilled cartridges at the same time. What happens if the status light flashes red and I hear beeps? If the status light flashes red at any time, this means there is an error and the on-body injector will no longer work. Remove the on-body injector from the body (if it is attached) and place it in the original packaging. Do not remove the prefilled cartridge from the on-body injector. Contact 1-888-765-4747 and return the on-body injector and cartridge per the instructions given. I cannot open the blue cartridge door. How do I open it? See Step 2A and Figure I . If you still cannot open it, contact 1-888-765-4747. What if the on-body injector does not beep and the blue status light does not blink when I remove the pull tabs? First check that both pull tabs on the back of the on-body injector have been fully removed, including the battery strip. If the on-body injector still does not turn on, use a new on-body injector and prefilled cartridge. Contact 1-888-765-4747. What if I push the blue start button before I stick the on-body injector on the skin? If you removed the pull tabs and pressed the start button, the on-body injector will make a beeping sound and you will see the status light flash red. The on-body injector will no longer work. Stop using the on-body injector and contact 1-888-765-4747. What if the on-body injector is already on the skin but does not start after pressing the blue start button? Make sure you firmly press the blue start button. If it still does not start, remove the on-body injector and contact 1-888-765-4747. Do not reapply the same on-body injector as it will not work. Use a new on-body injector and prefilled cartridge. What if a part of the packaging is missing or damaged (for example: carton, paper cover, plastic cover, etc.)? Do not use the on-body injector or prefilled cartridge and contact 1-888-765-4747. What happens if I do not inject within 5 minutes after loading the prefilled cartridge? It is important to inject within 5 minutes after loading the prefilled cartridge. After you load the prefilled cartridge into the on-body injector, it is completely normal to see the medicine drop out of the needle. This is to get rid of the air from the on-body injector needle. However, if you wait more than 5 minutes to start your injection, you may lose some of your medicine. Additionally, this may dry out the medicine and clog the on-body injector needle. If I am not ready to inject after waiting at least 45 minutes, can I return the on-body injector and prefilled cartridge to the refrigerator? Do not return to the refrigerator the on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges after they reach room temperature. This may degrade the medicine. If needed, the on-body injectors and prefilled cartridges may be stored in the original carton box at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) for up to 3 days. Throw away after 3 days if unused. For any additional questions or support, contact 1-888-765-4747. Additional Environmental Conditions Relative humidity range is 15% to 85%. Altitude range is -984 feet to 11483 feet (-300 meters to 3500 meters). During injection, keep the on-body injector a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) away from other electronics such as cellular phones. Warning: Do not modify the on-body injector or prefilled cartridge. Warning: Magnetic Resonance (MR) is unsafe, the on-body injector for ULTOMIRIS should not enter the MR scanning room. On-body injector operating temperature range is 59°F to 104°F (15°C to 40°C).

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many on-body injectors do I need for a full dose?
  • You need 2 on-body injectors and 2 prefilled cartridges for a full weekly dose. You may prepare and use 2 on-body injectors and 2 prefilled cartridges at the same time.
  • What happens if the status light flashes red and I hear beeps?
  • If the status light flashes red at any time, this means there is an error and the on-body injector will no longer work. Remove the on-body injector from the body (if it is attached) and place it in the original packaging. Do not remove the prefilled cartridge from the on-body injector. Contact 1-888-765-4747 and return the on-body injector and cartridge per the instructions given.
  • I cannot open the blue cartridge door. How do I open it?
  • See Step 2A and Figure I. If you still cannot open it, contact 1-888-765-4747.
  • What if the on-body injector does not beep and the blue status light does not blink when I remove the pull tabs?
  • First check that both pull tabs on the back of the on-body injector have been fully removed, including the battery strip. If the on-body injector still does not turn on, use a new on-body injector and prefilled cartridge. Contact 1-888-765-4747.
  • What if I push the blue start button before I stick the on-body injector on the skin?
  • If you removed the pull tabs and pressed the start button, the on-body injector will make a beeping sound and you will see the status light flash red. The on-body injector will no longer work. Stop using the on-body injector and contact 1-888-765-4747.
  • What if the on-body injector is already on the skin but does not start after pressing the blue start button?
  • Make sure you firmly press the blue start button. If it still does not start, remove the on-body injector and contact 1-888-765-4747. Do not reapply the same on-body injector as it will not work. Use a new on-body injector and prefilled cartridge.

ULTOMIRIS is a medicine that affects your immune system. ULTOMIRIS can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. ULTOMIRIS increases your chance of getting serious and life-threatening meningococcal infections. Meningococcal infections may quickly become life-threatening and cause death if not recognized and treated early. You must receive meningococcal vaccines at least 2 weeks before your first dose of ULTOMIRIS if you have not already had this vaccine. If your healthcare provider decided that urgent treatment with ULTOMIRIS is needed, you should receive meningococcal vaccination as soon as possible. If you have not been vaccinated for meningococcal infections and ULTOMIRIS therapy must be initiated immediately, you should also receive 2 weeks of antibiotics with your vaccinations. If you had a meningococcal vaccine in the past, you might need additional vaccination before starting ULTOMIRIS. Your healthcare provider will decide if you need additional meningococcal vaccination. Meningococcal vaccines reduce the risk of meningococcal infection but do not prevent all meningococcal infections. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away if you get any of these signs and symptoms of a meningococcal infection: headache with nausea or vomiting headache with a stiff neck or stiff back fever and a rash muscle aches with flu-like symptoms headache and fever fever confusion eyes sensitive to light Your healthcare provider will give you a Patient Safety Card about the risk of meningococcal infection. Carry it with you at all times during treatment and for 8 months after your last ULTOMIRIS dose. Your risk of meningococcal infection may continue for several months after your last dose of ULTOMIRIS. It is important to show this card to any healthcare provider or nurse who treats you. This will help them diagnose and treat you quickly. ULTOMIRIS is only available through a program called the ULTOMIRIS REMS. Before you can receive ULTOMIRIS, your healthcare provider must: enroll in the ULTOMIRIS REMS program. counsel you about the risk of meningococcal infection. give you information about the symptoms of meningococcal infection. give you a Patient Safety Card about your risk of meningococcal infection, as discussed above. make sure that you are vaccinated with a meningococcal vaccine, and if needed, get revaccinated with the meningococcal vaccine. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure if you need to be revaccinated. ULTOMIRIS may also increase the risk of other types of serious infections. People who take ULTOMIRIS may have an increased risk of getting infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae . If your child is treated with ULTOMIRIS, make sure that your child receives vaccinations against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in adult patients with PNH was assessed in 2 open-label, randomized, active-controlled, non-inferiority Phase 3 studies: PNH Study 301 and PNH Study 302. Study 301 enrolled patients with PNH who were complement inhibitor naïve and had active hemolysis. Study 302 enrolled patients with PNH who were clinically stable after having been treated with eculizumab for at least the past 6 months. The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in pediatric patients with PNH was assessed in PNH Study 304, an open-label, Phase 3 study conducted in eculizumab-experienced and complement inhibitor treatment naïve pediatric patients with PNH. In Study 301 and Study 302, adults with PNH were dosed with ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in accordance with the weight-based dosing described in Section 2.2 (4 infusions of ULTOMIRIS over 26 weeks) above. Eculizumab was administered on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22, followed by maintenance treatment with 900 mg of eculizumab on Day 29 and every 2 weeks (q2w) thereafter for a total of 26 weeks of treatment, according to the approved dosing regimen of eculizumab which was the standard-of-care for PNH at the time of the studies. The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered subcutaneously in adult patients with PNH was assessed in a controlled Phase 3 trial: PNH Study 303. Study 303 was a PK non-inferiority study in adult patients with PNH who were clinically stable and previously treated with eculizumab for at least 3 months prior to study entry. This study was also designed to assess the performance of the ULTOMIRIS on-body delivery system. Patients were vaccinated against meningococcal infection prior to or at the time of initiating treatment with ULTOMIRIS or eculizumab, or received prophylactic treatment with appropriate antibiotics until 2 weeks after vaccination. Prophylactic treatment with appropriate antibiotics beyond 2 weeks after vaccination was at the discretion of the provider. Study in Complement-Inhibitor Naïve Adult Patients with PNH – Intravenous Administration The Complement-Inhibitor Naïve Study [ALXN1210-PNH-301; NCT02946463] was a 26-week, multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, non-inferiority Phase 3 study conducted in 246 patients naïve to complement inhibitor treatment prior to study entry. Patients with PNH with flow cytometric confirmation of at least 5% PNH cells were randomized 1:1 to either intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS or eculizumab. The mean total PNH granulocyte clone size was 85%, the mean total PNH monocyte clone size was 88%, and the mean total PNH RBC clone size was 39%. Ninety-eight percent of patients had a documented PNH-associated condition diagnosed prior to enrollment on the trial: anemia (85%), hemoglobinuria (63%), history of aplastic anemia (32%), history of renal failure (12%), myelodysplastic syndrome (5%), pregnancy complications (3%), and other (16%). Major baseline characteristics were balanced between treatment groups. Table 22 provides the baseline characteristics for the patients enrolled in the complement-inhibitor naïve study.

Transfusion avoidance was defined as patients who did not receive a transfusion and did not meet the protocol specified guidelines for transfusion from baseline up to Day 183. Supportive efficacy data included the percent change from baseline in LDH levels, the proportion of patients with breakthrough hemolysis defined as at least one new or worsening symptom or sign of intravascular hemolysis in the presence of elevated LDH ≥ 2 × ULN, after prior LDH reduction to < 1.5 × ULN on therapy and the proportion of patients with stabilized hemoglobin. Non-inferiority of ULTOMIRIS to eculizumab was demonstrated across endpoints in the complement-inhibitor naïve treatment population described in Table 23 below.

Patient-reported fatigue may be an under- or over-estimation because patients were not blinded to treatment assignment. Study in Eculizumab-Experienced Adult Patients with PNH – Intravenous Administration The study in eculizumab-experienced patients [ALXN1210-PNH-302; NCT03056040] was a 26-week, multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, non-inferiority Phase 3 study conducted in 195 patients with PNH who were clinically stable after having been treated with eculizumab for at least the past 6 months. Patients who demonstrated clinically stable disease after being treated with eculizumab for at least the prior 6 months were randomized 1:1 to either continue eculizumab or to switch to ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously. The mean total PNH granulocyte clone size was 83%, the mean total PNH monocyte clone size was 86%, and the mean total PNH RBC clone size was 60%. Ninety-five percent of patients had a documented PNH-associated condition diagnosed prior to enrollment in the trial: anemia (67%), hematuria or hemoglobinuria (49%), history of aplastic anemia (37%), history of renal failure (9%), myelodysplastic syndrome (5%), pregnancy complication (7%), and other (14%). Major baseline characteristics were balanced between the 2 treatment groups. Table 24 provides the baseline characteristics for the patients enrolled in the eculizumab-experienced study.

Study in Eculizumab-Experienced and Complement-Inhibitor Naïve Pediatric Patients with PNH – Intravenous Administration The pediatric study, ALXN1210-PNH-304 (NCT03406507), was a multi-center, open-label Phase 3 study conducted in eculizumab-experienced and complement inhibitor treatment-naïve pediatric patients with PNH. A total of 13 pediatric patients with PNH completed intravenously administered ULTOMIRIS treatment during the Primary Evaluation Period (26 weeks). Five of the 13 patients had never been treated with complement inhibitors and 8 patients were treated with eculizumab. Eleven of the thirteen patients were between 12 and 17 years of age at first infusion, with 2 patients under 12 years old (11 and 9 years old). Table 26 presents the baseline characteristics of the pediatric patients enrolled in Study ALXN1210-PNH-304.

For patients who entered the study on eculizumab therapy, Day 1 of study treatment was planned to occur 2 weeks from the patient's last dose of eculizumab. The weight-based dose regimen of ravulizumab-cwvz provided inhibition of terminal complement in all patients throughout the entire 26-week treatment period regardless of prior experience with eculizumab. Following initiation of ravulizumab-cwvz treatment, steady-state therapeutic serum concentrations of ravulizumab-cwvz were achieved after the first dose and maintained throughout the primary evaluation period in both cohorts. Three of 5 complement inhibitor treatment-naïve patients and 6 out of 8 eculizumab-experienced patients achieved hemoglobin stabilization by Week 26, respectively. Transfusion avoidance was reached for 11 out of 13 of patients during the 26-week Primary Evaluation Period. One patient experienced breakthrough hemolysis during the extension period. Table 27 presents secondary efficacy outcomes for the primary evaluation period.

One patient experienced breakthrough hemolysis at 1.8 years during the extension period; however, at the time of the breakthrough hemolysis event the patient had adequate C5 inhibition (free C5 < 0.5 mcg/mL). A clinically relevant improvement from baseline in fatigue as assessed by Pediatric FACIT-Fatigue (i.e., mean improvement of > 3 units for Pediatric FACIT Fatigue scores) was sustained throughout the primary evaluation period in the 5-complement inhibitor treatment naïve patients. A slight improvement was also observed in eculizumab-experienced patients. However, patient-reported fatigue may be an under- or over-estimation because patients were not blinded to treatment assignment. The efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in pediatric patients with PNH is similar to that observed in adult patients with PNH enrolled in pivotal studies. Subcutaneous Administration in Adult Patients with PNH Subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS was assessed in a multi-center, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study (ALXN1210-PNH-303 [NCT03748823]) conducted in adult patients with PNH who were clinically stable after having been treated with eculizumab for at least 3 months prior to study entry. The study enrolled 136 patients, of which 129 patients were included in the efficacy and safety analyses. The main outcome measure of Study ALXN1210-PNH-303 was the non-inferiority of C trough of ULTOMIRIS when administered subcutaneously via an on-body injector compared to ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously. The study was designed to bridge efficacy and safety data from ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously (IV) to ULTOMIRIS administered subcutaneously (SUBQ). Patients who completed the 10-week Randomized Treatment Period are followed for up to 172 weeks in the long-term Extension Period. During the Randomized Treatment Period, patients were stratified by weight group (≥ 40 kg to < 60 kg and ≥ 60 kg to < 100 kg) and randomized 2:1 to receive ULTOMIRIS subcutaneously or ULTOMIRIS intravenously. On Day 1, all patients received a weight-based ULTOMIRIS intravenous loading dose. Starting on Day 15, patients randomized to the ULTOMIRIS subcutaneous group received once weekly subcutaneous maintenance doses (490 mg), while patients randomized to the ULTOMIRIS intravenous group received the approved weight-based intravenous maintenance dose. Following the Randomized Treatment Period (on Day 71), patients who were randomized to the ULTOMIRIS intravenous group switched to receive 490 mg of ULTOMIRIS subcutaneously weekly through the end of the Extension Period. The mean total PNH RBC clone size was 48.35%, with a mean total PNH granulocyte clone size of 77.22% and a mean total PNH monocyte clone size of 80.18%. Ninety-two percent of the patients had documented PNH-associated conditions that were diagnosed prior to informed consent. Overall, the disease history and the baseline characteristics were well balanced between the 2 treatment groups. Table 28 presents the baseline characteristics of patients with PNH enrolled in Study ALXN1210-PNH-303.

Serum free C5 concentrations were maintained below the target threshold (< 0.5 mcg/mL) in all patients throughout the one year of subcutaneous treatment. In patients with PNH randomized to subcutaneous or intravenous ULTOMIRIS, change in LDH, breakthrough hemolysis, transfusion avoidance, hemoglobin stabilization, and FACIT-Fatigue score were evaluated. No noticeable difference between the routes of administration was observed in these endpoints at Day 71. 14.2 Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) The efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in patients with aHUS was assessed in 2 open-label, single-arm studies. Study ALXN1210-aHUS-311 enrolled adult patients who displayed signs of TMA. In order to qualify for enrollment, patients were required to have a platelet count ≤ 150 × 10 9 /L, evidence of hemolysis such as an elevation in serum LDH, and serum creatinine above the upper limits of normal or required dialysis. Study ALXN1210-aHUS-312 enrolled pediatric patients who displayed signs of TMA. In order to qualify for enrollment, patients were required to have a platelet count ≤ 150 × 10 9 /L, evidence of hemolysis such as an elevation in serum LDH, and serum creatinine level ≥ 97.5% percentile at screening or required dialysis. In both studies, enrollment criteria excluded patients presenting with TMA due to a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13) deficiency, Shiga toxin Escherichia coli related hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS) and genetic defect in cobalamin C metabolism. Patients with confirmed diagnosis of STEC-HUS after enrollment were excluded from the efficacy evaluation. Study in Adult Patients with aHUS – Intravenous Administration The adult study [ALXN1210-aHUS-311; NCT02949128] was conducted in patients who were naïve to complement inhibitor treatment prior to study entry. The study consisted of a 26-week Initial Evaluation Period and patients were allowed to enter an extension period for up to 4.5 years. A total of 56 patients with aHUS were evaluated for efficacy. Ninety-three percent of patients had extra-renal signs (cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, skin, skeletal muscle) or symptoms of aHUS at baseline. At baseline, 71.4% (n = 40) of patients had Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Fourteen percent had a medical history of kidney transplant and 51.8% were on dialysis at study entry. Eight patients entered the study with evidence of TMA for > 3 days after childbirth (i.e., postpartum). Table 29 presents the demographics and baseline characteristics of the 56 adult patients enrolled in Study ALXN1210-aHUS-311 that constituted the Full Analysis Set.

Complete TMA Response was achieved at a median time of 86 days (range: 7 to 169 days). The median duration of Complete TMA Response was 7.97 months (range: 2.52 to 16.69 months). All responses were maintained through all available follow-up. Other endpoints included platelet count change from baseline, dialysis requirement, and renal function as evaluated by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). An increase in mean platelet count was observed after commencement of ULTOMIRIS intravenous treatment, increasing from 118.52 × 10 9 /L at baseline to 240.34 ×10 9 /L at Day 8 and remaining above 227 × 10 9 /L at all subsequent visits in the Initial Evaluation Period (26 weeks). Renal function, as measured by eGFR, was improved or maintained during ULTOMIRIS intravenous therapy. The mean eGFR (+/- SD) increased from 15.86 (14.82) at baseline to 51.83 (39.16) by 26 weeks. In patients with Complete TMA Response, renal function continued to improve after the Complete TMA Response was achieved. Seventeen of the 29 patients (59%) who required dialysis at study entry discontinued dialysis by the end of the available follow-up and 6 of 27 (22%) patients were off dialysis at baseline were on dialysis at last available follow-up. Study in Pediatric Patients with aHUS – Intravenous Administration The Pediatric Study [ALXN1210-aHUS-312; NCT03131219] is a 26-week ongoing, multicenter, single-arm study conducted in 16 pediatric patients. A total of 14 eculizumab-naïve patients with documented diagnosis of aHUS were enrolled and included in this interim analysis. The median age at the time of first infusion was 5.2 years (range 0.9, 17.3 years). The overall mean weight at Baseline was 19.8 kg; half of the patients were in the baseline weight category ≥ 10 to < 20 kg. The majority of patients (71%) had pretreatment extra-renal signs (cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, skin, skeletal muscle) or symptoms of aHUS at baseline. At baseline, 35.7% (n = 5) of patients had a CKD Stage 5. Seven percent had history of prior kidney transplant and 35.7% were on dialysis at study entry. Table 31 presents the baseline characteristics of the pediatric patients enrolled in Study ALXN1210-aHUS-312.

The median duration of Complete TMA Response was 5.08 months (range: 3.08 to 5.54 months). All responses were maintained through all available follow-up. Other endpoints included platelet count change from baseline, dialysis requirement, and renal function as evaluated by eGFR. An increase in mean platelet count was observed after commencement of ULTOMIRIS intravenous treatment, increasing from 60.50 × 10 9 /L at baseline to 296.67 × 10 9 /L at Day 8 and remained above 296 × 10 9 /L at all subsequent visits in the Initial Evaluation Period (26 weeks). The mean eGFR (+/- SD) increased from 28.4 (23.11) at baseline to 108.0 (63.21) by 26 weeks. Four of the 5 patients who required dialysis at study entry were able to discontinue dialysis after the first month in study and for the duration of ULTOMIRIS treatment. No patient started dialysis during the study. 14.3 Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) The efficacy of ULTOMIRIS for the treatment of gMG was demonstrated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study (ALXN1210-MG-306; NCT03920293). Patients were randomized 1:1 to either receive ULTOMIRIS (n=86) or placebo (n=89) for 26 weeks. ULTOMIRIS was administered intravenously according to the weight-based recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. Patients with gMG with a positive serologic test for anti-AChR antibodies, Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) clinical classification class II to IV, and Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score ≥ 6 were enrolled. Baseline and disease characteristics were similar between treatment groups (including age at first dose [mean of 58 years for ULTOMIRIS versus 53 years for placebo], gender [51% female for ULTOMIRIS versus 51% female for placebo], race as White, Asian, and Black or African American [78%, 17%, and 2% for ULTOMIRIS versus 69%, 18%, and 5% for placebo, respectively], and duration of MG since diagnosis [mean of 10 years, ranging from 0.5 to 39.5 years, for ULTOMIRIS versus mean of 10.0 years, ranging from 0.5 to 36.1 years, for placebo]. Over 80% of patients were receiving acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, 70% were receiving corticosteroids, and 68% were receiving non-steroidal immunosuppressants (ISTs) at study entry. Patients on concomitant medications to treat gMG were permitted to continue on therapy throughout the course of the study. The primary efficacy endpoint was a comparison of the change from baseline between treatment groups in the MG-ADL total score at Week 26. The MG-ADL is a categorical scale that assesses the impact on daily function of 8 signs or symptoms that are typically affected in gMG. Each item is assessed on a 4-point scale where a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 3 represents loss of ability to perform that function. The total score ranges from 0 to 24, with the higher scores indicating more impairment. The secondary endpoints, also assessed from baseline to Week 26, included the change in the Quantitative MG total score (QMG). The QMG is a 13-item categorical scale assessing muscle weakness. Each item is assessed on a 4-point scale where a score of 0 represents no weakness and a score of 3 represents severe weakness. A total score ranges from 0 to 39, where higher scores indicate more severe impairment. Other secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients with improvements of at least 5 and 3 points in the QMG and MG-ADL total scores, respectively. Treatment with ULTOMIRIS demonstrated a statistically significant change in the MG-ADL and QMG total scores from baseline at Week 26 as compared to placebo (Table 33). Table 33: Efficacy Results in Patients with gMG Efficacy Endpoints: Change from Baseline at Week 26 Placebo (n = 89) LS Mean ULTOMIRIS (IV) (n = 86) LS Mean Treatment Effect (95% CI) p-value p-value calculated using mixed effect model for repeated measures Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, LS = least squares; MG-ADL = Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living profile; QMG = Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis score for disease severity Primary Endpoint MG-ADL -1.4 -3.1 -1.6 (-2.6, -0.7) < 0.001 Secondary Endpoint QMG -0.8 -2.8 -2.0 (-3.2, -0.8) < 0.001 The proportion of QMG responders with at least a 5-point improvement at week 26 was greater for ULTOMIRIS (30.0%) compared to placebo (11.3%) p = 0.005. The proportion of MG-ADL responders with at least a 3-point improvement at week 26 was also greater for ULTOMIRIS (56.7%) compared to placebo (34.1%). The proportion of clinical responders at higher response thresholds (≥ 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-point improvement on MG-ADL, and ≥ 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, or 10-point improvement on QMG) was consistently greater for ULTOMIRIS compared to placebo.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of ULTOMIRIS did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over (58 patients with PNH, 9 with aHUS, and 54 with gMG) to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of PNH have been established in pediatric patients aged one month and older. Use of ULTOMIRIS for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled trials in adults with additional pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety data in pediatric patients aged 9 to 17 years [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . The safety and efficacy for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with PNH appear similar. Use of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously in pediatric patients with PNH aged less than 9 years and body weight < 30 kg is based on extrapolation of pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic (PK/PD), and efficacy and safety data from aHUS and PNH clinical studies [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14) ] . The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of aHUS have been established in pediatric patients aged one month and older. Use of ULTOMIRIS for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy data in pediatric patients aged 10 months to < 17 years. The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of aHUS appear similar in pediatric and adult patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , and Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS for the treatment of gMG in pediatric patients have not been established. Subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS has not been evaluated and is not approved for use in pediatric patients.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on ULTOMIRIS use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with untreated PNH and aHUS in pregnancy ( see Clinical Considerations ). Animal studies using a mouse analogue of the ravulizumab-cwvz molecule (murine anti-mouse complement component 5 [C5] antibody) showed increased rates of developmental abnormalities and an increased rate of dead and moribund offspring at doses 0.8-2.2 times the human dose (see Data ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations 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 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated maternal and/or fetal/neonatal risk PNH in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal outcomes, including worsening cytopenias, thrombotic events, infections, bleeding, miscarriages, and increased maternal mortality, and adverse fetal outcomes, including fetal death and premature delivery. In pregnancy, aHUS is associated with adverse maternal outcomes, including preeclampsia and preterm delivery, and adverse fetal/neonatal outcomes, including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), fetal death and low birth weight. Data Animal Data Animal reproduction studies were conducted in mice using doses of a murine anti-C5 antibody that approximated 1-2.2 times (loading dose) and 0.8-1.8 times (maintenance dose) the recommended human ULTOMIRIS dose, based on a body weight comparison. When animal exposure to the antibody occurred in the time period from before mating until early gestation, no decrease in fertility or reproductive performance was observed. When maternal exposure to the antibody occurred during organogenesis, 2 cases of retinal dysplasia and 1 case of umbilical hernia were observed among 230 offspring born to mothers exposed to the higher antibody dose; however, the exposure did not increase fetal loss or neonatal death. When maternal exposure to the antibody occurred in the time period from implantation through weaning, a higher number of male offspring became moribund or died (1/25 controls, 2/25 low dose group, 5/25 high dose group). Surviving offspring had normal development and reproductive function. Human IgG are known to cross the human placental barrier, and thus ULTOMIRIS may potentially cause terminal complement inhibition in fetal circulation.

    Use In Specific Populations

    8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pediatric Use: Subcutaneous dosing of ULTOMIRIS is not approved for use in pediatric patients ( 8.4 ). 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on ULTOMIRIS use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with untreated PNH and aHUS in pregnancy ( see Clinical Considerations ).

Human IgG are known to cross the human placental barrier, and thus ULTOMIRIS may potentially cause terminal complement inhibition in fetal circulation. 8.2 Lactation Risk summary There are no data on the presence of ravulizumab-cwvz in human milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or the effect on milk production. Since many medicinal products and immunoglobulins are secreted into human milk, and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a nursing child, breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment and for 8 months after the final dose. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of PNH have been established in pediatric patients aged one month and older. Use of ULTOMIRIS for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled trials in adults with additional pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety data in pediatric patients aged 9 to 17 years [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .

The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of aHUS have been established in pediatric patients aged one month and older. Use of ULTOMIRIS for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy data in pediatric patients aged 10 months to < 17 years. The safety and efficacy of ULTOMIRIS administered intravenously for the treatment of aHUS appear similar in pediatric and adult patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , and Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . The safety and effectiveness of ULTOMIRIS for the treatment of gMG in pediatric patients have not been established. Subcutaneous administration of ULTOMIRIS has not been evaluated and is not approved for use in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of ULTOMIRIS did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over (58 patients with PNH, 9 with aHUS, and 54 with gMG) to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients.

    Boxed Warning

    WARNING: SERIOUS MENINGOCOCCAL INFECTIONS Life-threatening meningococcal infections/sepsis have occurred in patients treated with ULTOMIRIS. Meningococcal infection may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Comply with the most current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations for meningococcal vaccination in patients with complement deficiencies. Immunize patients with meningococcal vaccines at least 2 weeks prior to administering the first dose of ULTOMIRIS, unless the risks of delaying ULTOMIRIS therapy outweigh the risk of developing a meningococcal infection. See Warnings and Precautions (5.1) for additional guidance on the management of the risk of meningococcal infection. Vaccination reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of meningococcal infections. Monitor patients for early signs of meningococcal infections and evaluate immediately if infection is suspected. Because of the risk of serious meningococcal infections, ULTOMIRIS is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called ULTOMIRIS REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .
