用法用量
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For subcutaneous use only. Starting dose: 50 mg once every 2 months ( 2.1 ). Monitor AT activity using an FDA-cleared test. Maintain AT activity between 15–35% by adjusting the dose and/or frequency of administration ( 2.2 ). See Full Prescribing Information for important preparation and administration instructions ( 2.4 ). 2.1 Recommended Dosage For subcutaneous use only. Use of QFITLIA is recommended under the supervision of a healthcare professional experienced in the treatment of hemophilia or bleeding disorders. Measure AT activity prior to initiation of QFITLIA. Do not initiate QFITLIA dosing if AT activity is <60%. Monitor AT activity using an FDA-cleared test. Information on FDA-cleared tests for AT activity is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. After QFITLIA is initiated, patients may continue their prior clotting factor concentrates (CFC) or bypassing agent (BPA) prophylaxis for the first 7 days of treatment. Discontinue CFC or BPA prophylaxis no later than 7 days after the initial dose of QFITLIA. The starting dose of QFITLIA is 50 mg once subcutaneously every two months. Adjust the dose and/or dosing interval, if needed, to maintain AT activity between 15–35% [see Boxed Warning , Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . 2.2 Dosage Modification Measure AT activity using an FDA-cleared test at Weeks 4 (Month 1), 12 (Month 3), 20 (Month 5) and 24 (Month 6) following the starting dose and after any dose modification. If any AT activity is <15%, a dose reduction is required. The lower dose should be initiated 3 months after the prior dose. AT measurements should be restarted after a dose reduction. If AT activity is >35% after 6 months, or if the patient has not achieved satisfactory bleed control, dose escalation should be considered. AT measurements should be restarted after a dose escalation. Refer to Table 1 below for modified dosage based on AT activity levels. Table 1: Dose Modification Based on Antithrombin Activity Levels Last Dosage Administered Antithrombin Activity Level Dose Modification 50 mg every 2 months Less than 15% 20 mg every 2 months 15% to 35% Continue current dosage Greater than 35% after 6 months 50 mg every month 20 mg every 2 months Less than 15% 10 mg every 2 months 15% to 35% Continue current dosage Greater than 35% after 6 months 20 mg every month 10 mg every 2 months Less than 15% Discontinue QFITLIA 15% to 35% Continue current dosage Greater than 35% after 6 months 10 mg every month Once the patient's target dose is identified based on AT activity 15–35%, measure AT activity annually. Additional AT measurements can be considered if bleeding control is not adequate. After cessation of QFITLIA dosing, routine AT monitoring is not needed unless the patient is bleeding and treatment with CFC/BPA is required. Based on data from the clinical studies, a majority of patients have AT activity >60% by 6 months after the last QFITLIA dose, after which standard doses of CFC/BPA may be used. Missed dose If a dose of QFITLIA is missed, administer as soon as possible; thereafter, resume the patient's usual dosing schedule of either once every month or once every two months, as applicable, from the last dose. 2.3 Bleed Management Breakthrough Bleed Management If breakthrough bleeding requiring on-demand treatment with CFC or BPA occurs during the first 7 days after QFITLIA initiation, manage the bleed using the patient's prior dosing regimen of CFC or BPA. If breakthrough bleeding occurs after 7 days from the first QFITLIA dose, bleeds should be managed with a reduced dose and frequency of CFC/BPA to minimize the risk of thrombotic events. Initially, the weight-based dose of a CFC/BPA should be reduced, and the dosing interval doubled compared to the standard dose. This reduced dosing is shown in Table 2. If adequate hemostatic control is not achieved, higher doses may be used based on clinical judgement. Combination use of antifibrinolytics with CFC or BPA has not been studied.

Recommended dose 10 IU/kg (maximum: 20 IU/kg) Use clinical judgement for situations requiring higher doses, more frequent administration, or multiple repeat doses. Use standard of care for adjunctive management of bleeding episodes and thrombotic events. 20 IU/kg (maximum: 30 IU/kg) 20 IU/kg (maximum: 30 IU/kg) 30 U/kg (maximum: 50 U/kg) ≤45 μg/kg Repeat dosing Should not repeat in <24 hours Should not repeat in <24 hours Should not repeat in <5–7 days Should not repeat in <24 hours Should not repeat in <2 hours Use of QFITLIA During Surgical Interventions In clinical studies, patients with hemophilia A or B with or without inhibitors have undergone both major (N=60) and minor (N=71) surgical procedures without discontinuing QFITLIA prophylaxis. Utilize bleed management guidelines during the perioperative period for hemostatic management. 2.4 Preparation and Administration Instructions QFITLIA is intended for use under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Provide proper training to patients and/or caregivers on the preparation and administration of QFITLIA prior to use, according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). A patient may self-inject QFITLIA or the patient's caregiver may administer QFITLIA. In pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age, it is recommended that QFITLIA be administered by or under the supervision of an adult. QFITLIA for subcutaneous administration is a clear, colorless to pale yellow solution. Do not use if the solution is discolored or cloudy, or if it contains visible flakes or particles. Do not use QFITLIA if it has been dropped or damaged. If QFITLIA is stored at room temperature, it is ready for use. If QFITLIA is stored in the refrigerator, remove from the refrigerator and allow QFITLIA to reach room temperature, for at least 30 minutes. Administer QFITLIA by subcutaneous injection in the thigh or abdomen region, except for the 2 inches (5 cm) around the navel. A caregiver can also inject QFITLIA in the outer area of the patient's upper arm. QFITLIA should not be injected into skin that is tender, damaged, bruised, or scarred. Do not inject into a vein. To inject 10 mg or 20 mg of QFITLIA from the single-dose vial, it is recommended to use a sterile 1 mL Luer Lock syringe (polypropylene or polycarbonate), and a sterile 27 gauge ½ inch (13 mm) Luer Lock needle to withdraw and inject QFITLIA solution subcutaneously (see the Instructions for Use). Discard unused product remaining in the prefilled pen or vial.
Side Effects Overview
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Thrombotic Events [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Acute and Recurrent Gallbladder Disease [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Common adverse reactions (incidence >10%) are viral infection, nasopharyngitis, and bacterial infection ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Genzyme Corporation 1-800-745-4447 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials 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. The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to QFITLIA as fixed doses and AT-DR (N=335). The safety of the QFITLIA AT-DR was assessed in 286 adult and pediatric male patients with hemophilia A or B with or without inhibitors [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Among patients who received the AT-DR, 93% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 83% were exposed for 12 months or longer. The median duration of exposure across the studies was 674 days (with a maximum of 896 days). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 4/286 (1.4%) patients who received the AT-DR, two of whom had serious adverse reactions of cholecystitis. Permanent discontinuation of QFITLIA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4/286 (1.4%) patients receiving the AT-DR and included liver injury, post-operative deep vein thrombosis, cerebral infarction and pruritus. Dosage interruptions of QFITLIA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2/286 (0.7%) patients receiving the AT-DR and included increased serum transaminases. The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) reported in patients treated with the AT-DR were viral infection, nasopharyngitis, and bacterial infection.

警告与注意事项
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hepatotoxicity: Obtain liver tests at baseline and then monthly for at least 6 months after initiating QFITLIA and after dose increases, and periodically thereafter. Liver test elevations may require QFITLIA interruption or discontinuation ( 5.3 ). 5.1 Thrombotic Events Serious thrombotic events have been reported in QFITLIA-treated patients. Thrombotic events were reported in 2.6% of patients receiving the 80 mg once monthly dose (2.3 events per 100 person-years), including a fatal event of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. The 80 mg once monthly dose is not approved or recommended for use. Thrombotic events were reported in 1.4% of patients receiving QFITLIA prophylaxis using the antithrombin-based dose regimen (AT-DR) that targeted AT activity 15-35% (0.8 events per 100 person-years). Participants with established thrombophilia or a history of thrombosis were generally excluded from studies with QFITLIA. The risk of thrombosis is greater in patients with persistent AT activity <15%, with comorbidities that predispose to thrombosis, when bleed management guidelines are not followed in the post-operative setting, when there is an indwelling venous catheter, and with use of the 80 mg once monthly (non-AT-based) dose. Treatment of breakthrough bleeding episodes with CFC or BPA at a dose greater or more frequent than recommended may also increase thrombotic risk [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . The decision to utilize higher dosing regimens of CFC or BPA in the setting of inadequate hemostasis requires an assessment of the benefits and risks and close clinical monitoring. Monitor AT activity using an FDA-cleared test and target AT activity 15–35% to reduce the risk of thrombosis [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of thrombotic events. Interrupt QFITLIA prophylaxis in patients with a thrombotic event and manage as clinically indicated. Inform patients treated with QFITLIA to monitor for and report signs and symptoms of thrombotic events. Consider the benefits and risks of resuming QFITLIA prophylaxis following resolution of the thrombotic event. 5.2 Acute and Recurrent Gallbladder Disease Treatment with QFITLIA is associated with an increased occurrence of acute and recurrent gallbladder disease including cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. QFITLIA at a fixed dose (including 80 mg once monthly) is not approved or recommended for use. In the 270 patients in the QFITLIA clinical studies who received the fixed dose (non-AT-based dose) once monthly regimen, 17% experienced gallbladder events and 4% (11 patients) underwent cholecystectomy. In 286 patients who received the AT-DR, 3.8% experienced gallbladder events and 0.3% (1 patient) underwent cholecystectomy. All but one of the patients who underwent cholecystectomy resumed QFITLIA after surgery. One patient who started on fixed dosing experienced cholangitis and pancreatitis caused by gallstone disease more than a year after cholecystectomy while receiving AT-DR. Patients diagnosed with acute or recurrent gallbladder disease most commonly presented with epigastric pain, generalized abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea and/or vomiting. If gallbladder disease is suspected, appropriate imaging and clinical follow-up are indicated. Consider alternative treatment for hemophilia in patients with a history of symptomatic gallbladder disease. Consider interruption or discontinuation of QFITLIA if gallbladder disease occurs. 5.3 Hepatotoxicity In the two randomized studies testing QFITLIA 80 mg once monthly, serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) elevations above 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) occurred in 32% of patients with hemophilia with inhibitors and 18% of patients with hemophilia without inhibitors compared to no events of AST or ALT elevation greater than 3× ULN in the control groups. There was one case of moderate hepatic injury (ALT elevation >300 U/L and total serum bilirubin >3 mg/dL) attributable to QFITLIA use. This patient had elevation of liver tests after a single 80 mg dose that continued to rise with repeated dosing of QFITLIA 80 mg once monthly. This patient's liver tests recovered with drug discontinuation. QFITLIA 80 mg once monthly is not approved or recommended for use. On the AT-DR, 3.4% of patients treated with QFITLIA had at least one ALT value greater than 3× ULN with a median onset of 89 days after initial dosing (range 15 to 768 days). Avoid use of QFITLIA in patients with hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A, B and C). Obtain baseline liver tests including AST, ALT, and total bilirubin prior to initiating QFITLIA, monthly for at least the first 6 months of QFITLIA use, and monthly for at least 6 months after a dose increase, and periodically thereafter as clinically indicated. If new or worsening liver test abnormalities occur, perform appropriate diagnostic evaluations, initiate medical management as appropriate and monitor laboratory parameters until they return to baseline. If ALT or AST elevations greater than 5× ULN occur, interrupt QFITLIA treatment. Consider the benefits and risks of resuming QFITLIA prophylaxis following resolution of transaminase elevations. If you decide to restart QFITLIA, wait until liver tests have returned to baseline. If QFITLIA is restarted and ALT or AST elevations greater than 5× ULN reoccur or the patient experiences jaundice (total bilirubin ≥2.5 mg/dL) thought to be from hepatotoxicity with other causes of liver test elevation ruled out, permanently discontinue QFITLIA.

药代动力学
12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of fitusiran were evaluated following administration of QFITLIA in patients with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors as summarized in Table 4. QFITLIA PD is driven by liver PK rather than plasma PK. The QFITLIA dosing strategy is based on maintaining plasma AT activity levels between 15–35% with 10, 20 or 50 mg dosing every month or every two months. Table 4: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of QFITLIA PK Parameters Unless otherwise indicated, the PK parameters in this table are from Study LTE15174. All PK parameters are estimated using non-compartmental analysis and are presented as Mean (SD) [CV%], except for t max which is presented as median (range) QFITLIA 20 mg QFITLIA 50 mg AUC = area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity; CL/F = apparent clearance; C max = maximum plasma concentration; CV = coefficient of variation; PK = pharmacokinetic(s); SD = standard deviation; t 1/2 = terminal elimination half-life; t max = time to maximum concentration; Vss/F = apparent volume of distribution General Information Steady State Exposure: C max (ng/mL) 34.4 (10.1) [29%] 84.1 (58.7) [70%] AUC (ng ∙ h/mL) 491 (83.8) [17%] 1290 (377) [29%] Dose Proportionality QFITLIA exhibited a dose proportional increase in plasma exposure after SC administration. Accumulation Study TDR14767 (ALN-AT3SC-001) No accumulation of QFITLIA was observed following multiple once monthly dosing. Absorption t max (h) 2.88 (0.5 – 4.33) 3.78 (0.42 – 11.9) Distribution QFITLIA distributes primarily to the liver after subcutaneous injection. Vss/F 431 (135) [31%] 570 (713) [125%] Protein Binding In vitro data 96.6% at clinically relevant exposure (0.5 microgram/ml) Elimination t 1/2 (h) 5.57 (2.36) [42%] 7.98 (4.74) [59%] CL/F 41.9 (8.39) [20%] 50.8 (71.1) [140%] Metabolism Primary Pathway QFITLIA is metabolized by endo- and exo-nucleases to oligonucleotides of varying lengths, which are further metabolized to oligonucleotides of even shorter lengths. QFITLIA is not a substrate for CYP450 or transporters. Main Metabolite AS(N-1)3' Excretion Primary Pathway Not evaluated 14.6% (mean) of the administered 50 mg dose of QFITLIA is recovered unchanged in 0–24 hour urine Specific Populations QFITLIA has only been studied in male patients. The pharmacokinetics of fitusiran is not influenced by race. QFITLIA has not been studied in children <12 years old. No clinical study to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of QFITLIA was conducted. In the pivotal studies, 12 patients had mild renal impairment (eGFR ≥60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) and 1 patient had moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). Population PK analysis indicated no impact of renal impairment on the exposure (C max and AUC) of QFITLIA in patients with mild renal impairment. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies No clinical drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted to evaluate the potential of QFITLIA to interact with other co-administered drugs which are either substrates, inhibitors or inducers of CYP isozymes, or are substrates or inhibitors of drug transporters. In Vitro Studies Results from in vitro studies evaluating the potential of co-administered drugs to increase the PK exposure of QFITLIA, and the potential of QFITLIA to increase the PK exposure of co-administered drugs, indicate that CYP- or transporter-mediated interactions between QFITLIA and co-administered drugs are unlikely at clinically relevant concentrations.
