About This Medication
11 DESCRIPTION Sutimlimab-jome, a classical complement inhibitor, is a humanized monoclonal antibody expressed by recombinant in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and produced in vitro using standard mammalian cell culture methods. Sutimlimab-jome is composed of two heterodimers. Each heterodimer is composed of a heavy and a light polypeptide chain. Each heavy chain (H-chain) is composed of 445 amino acids and each light chain (L-chain) contains 216 amino acids. Sutimlimab-jome has a molecular weight of approximately 147 kDa. ENJAYMO (sutimlimab-jome) injection is a sterile, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow, preservative-free solution for intravenous use. Each single-dose vial contains 1,100 mg sutimlimab-jome at a concentration of 50 mg/mL with a pH of 6.1. Each mL contains 50 mg of sutimlimab-jome and also contains polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), sodium chloride (8.18 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate (0.48 mg), sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate (1.13 mg), and Water for Injection, USP.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious Infections: Ensure patients are vaccinated against encapsulated bacteria. Monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of infections. ( 5.1 ) Infusion-Related Reactions: Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions, interrupt if reaction occurs, and institute appropriate medical management as needed. ( 5.2 ) Risk of Autoimmune Disease: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms and manage medically. ( 5.3 ) Recurrent Hemolysis After ENJAYMO Discontinuation: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hemolysis if treatment with ENJAYMO is interrupted. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Serious Infections Including Those Caused by Encapsulated Bacteria ENJAYMO, a proximal classical complement C1s inhibitor, increases a patient's susceptibility to serious infections including those caused by encapsulated bacteria e.g. Neisseria meningitidis (any serogroup, including non-groupable strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae , and Haemophilus influenzae type B. Life-threatening and fatal infections with encapsulated bacteria have occurred in both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients treated with complement inhibitors. Serious infections (bacterial and viral) were reported in 15% (10/66) of patients receiving ENJAYMO from the two phase 3 studies. These infections included urinary tract infection with sepsis, respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, otomastoiditis, and skin infections One patient (1.5%) died due to klebsiella pneumonia. Complete or update vaccination against encapsulated bacteria at least 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of ENJAYMO, according to the most current ACIP recommendations for patients receiving a complement inhibitor. Revaccinate patients in accordance with ACIP recommendations considering the chronic duration of therapy with ENJAYMO. Note that, ACIP recommends an administration schedule in patients receiving complement inhibitors that differs from the administration schedule in the vaccine prescribing information. If urgent ENJAYMO therapy is indicated in a patient who is not up to date on their vaccines administer vaccine(s) as soon as possible. Vaccination does not eliminate the risk of serious encapsulated bacterial infections, despite development of antibodies following vaccination. Closely monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of serious infection and evaluate patients immediately if an infection is suspected. If ENJAYMO treatment is administered to patients with active systemic infections, monitor closely for signs and symptoms of worsening infection. Some infections may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated promptly. Inform patients of these signs and symptoms and steps to be taken to seek immediate medical care. Consider interruption of ENJAYMO treatment in patients who are undergoing treatment for serious infection. ENJAYMO has not been studied in patients with chronic systemic infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. Consider patients' immune status when initiating treatment with ENJAYMO. 5.2 Infusion-Related Reactions ENJAYMO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to sutimlimab-jome or any of the inactive ingredients [see Contraindications (4) ] . Administration of ENJAYMO may result in infusion-related reactions. In the two phase 3 studies, 19 of 66 (29%) patients treated with ENJAYMO experienced infusion-related reactions (e.g., shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, nausea, flushing, headache, hypotension, chest discomfort, pruritus, rash, injection site reaction, and dizziness) were reported in patients from the two clinical studies. One patient permanently discontinued ENJAYMO due to an infusion-related reaction. Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions and interrupt if a reaction occurs. Discontinue ENJAYMO infusion and institute appropriate supportive measures if signs of hypersensitivity reactions, such as cardiovascular instability or respiratory compromise, occur. 5.3 Risk of Autoimmune Disease Based on its mechanism of action, ENJAYMO may potentially increase the risk for developing autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been associated with inherited classical complement deficiency. Patients with SLE or autoimmune disease with positive anti-nuclear antibody were excluded from clinical trials with ENJAYMO. In clinical trials, 3/66 (4.5%) patients developed a relapse or worsening of preexisting autoimmune disease. Monitor patients being treated with ENJAYMO for signs and symptoms and manage medically. 5.4 Recurrent Hemolysis After ENJAYMO Discontinuation If treatment with ENJAYMO is interrupted, closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of recurrent hemolysis, e.g., elevated levels of total bilirubin or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) accompanied by a decrease in hemoglobin, or reappearance of symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, palpitations, or hemoglobinuria. Consider restarting ENJAYMO if signs and symptoms of hemolysis occur after discontinuation.
