Onpattro is indicated for the treatment of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy.
How to take
Therapy should be initiated under the supervision of a physician knowledgeable in the management of amyloidosis. Posology The recommended dose of Onpattro is 300 micrograms per kg body weight administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once every 3 weeks.
Dosing is based on actual body weight. For patients weighing ≥ 100 kg, the maximum recommended dose is 30 mg. 1). 1). 4). 4). Each of the following medicinal products should be given on the day of Onpattro infusion at least 60 minutes prior to the start of infusion: • Intravenous corticosteroid (dexamethasone 10 mg, or equivalent) • Oral paracetamol (500 mg) • Intravenous H1 blocker (diphenhydramine 50 mg, or equivalent) • Intravenous H2 blocker (famotidine 20 mg, or equivalent) For premedications not available or not tolerated intravenously, equivalents may be administered orally.
5 mg to a minimum dose of 5 mg of dexamethasone (IV), or equivalent. The patient should receive at least 3 consecutive IV infusions of Onpattro without experiencing IRRs before each reduction in corticosteroid premedication. 8). Missed dose If a dose is missed, Onpattro should be administered as soon as possible.
• If Onpattro is administered within 3 days of the missed dose, dosing should be continued according to the patient’s original schedule. • If Onpattro is administered more than 3 days after the missed dose, dosing should be continued every 3 weeks thereafter.
2). 5 x ULN and any AST). 2). 73m2). 2). Paediatric population The safety and efficacy of Onpattro in children or adolescents < 18 years of age have not been established. No data are available. Method of administration Onpattro is for intravenous use.
6). 2 micron polyethersulfone (PES) in-line infusion filter must be used. The infusion sets and lines must be free of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). • The diluted solution of Onpattro should be infused intravenously over approximately 80 minutes at an initial infusion rate of approximately 1 mL/min for the first 15 minutes, followed by an increase to approximately 3 mL/min for the remainder of the infusion.

Infusion-related reactions IRRs have been observed in patients treated with Onpattro. 8). Across clinical studies, the most common symptoms (reported in ≥ 2% of patients) of IRRs were flushing, back pain, nausea, abdominal pain, dyspnoea, and headache.
IRRs may also include hypotension and syncope. 2). , corticosteroids or other symptomatic treatment) should be considered, as clinically indicated. If the infusion is interrupted, resumption of the infusion at a slower infusion rate may be considered after symptoms have resolved.
The infusion should be discontinued in the case of a serious or life-threatening IRR. Some patients who experience IRRs may benefit from a slower infusion rate or additional or higher doses of one or more of the premedications with subsequent infusions to reduce the risk of IRRs.
1). Serum vitamin A levels below the lower limit of normal should be corrected and any ocular symptoms or signs due to vitamin A deficiency should be evaluated prior to initiation of treatment. Patients receiving Onpattro should take oral supplementation of approximately 2 500 IU vitamin A per day to reduce the potential risk of ocular toxicity due to vitamin A deficiency.
Referral for ophthalmological assessment is recommended if patients develop ocular symptoms suggestive of vitamin A deficiency, including reduced night vision or night blindness, persistent dry eyes, eye inflammation, corneal inflammation or ulceration, corneal thickening or corneal perforation.
5). During the first 60 days of pregnancy, both too high or too low vitamin A levels may be associated with an increased risk of foetal malformation. Therefore, pregnancy should be excluded before initiating Onpattro and women of childbearing potential should practise effective contraception.
If a woman intends to become pregnant, Onpattro and vitamin A supplementation should be discontinued, and serum vitamin A levels should be monitored and have returned to normal before conception is attempted. 6). Vitamin A supplementation should be discontinued during the first trimester, unless the pregnant woman has clinical signs of vitamin A deficiency.
If such signs are present, vitamin A supplementation should not exceed 2 500 IU per day. Thereafter, vitamin A supplementation of 2 500 IU per day should be resumed in the second and third trimesters if serum vitamin A levels have not returned to normal, because of the increased risk of vitamin A deficiency in the third trimester.

4 Abnormal Laboratory Findings: Hematologic, Clinical Chemistry and Other Quantitative Data Immunogenicity Anti-drug antibodies to ONPATTRO were evaluated by measuring antibodies specific to PEG2000-C-DMG, a lipid component exposed on the surface of ONPATTRO.
6%) patients with hATTR amyloidosis developed anti-drug antibodies, as measured during treatment with ONPATTRO. One additional patient had pre-existing anti-drug antibodies. Anti-drug antibody titers were low and transient with no evidence of an effect on clinical efficacy, the safety profile, or the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic profiles of ONPATTRO.
The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. In addition, the observed incidence of antibody positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications and underlying disease.
For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to ONPATTRO with the incidence of antibodies to other products may be misleading. Vitamin A Levels Serum TTR is a carrier of retinol binding protein, which facilitates transport of vitamin A in the blood.
Treatment with ONPATTRO reduces serum TTR levels, which results in reduced levels of retinol binding protein and vitamin A in the serum (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
). 3 mg/kg administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once every 3 weeks. Dosing is based on body weight, to a maximum dose of 30 mg. For patients weighing ≥ 100 kg, the recommended dose of ONPATTRO should not exceed 30 mg. Required Premedication All patients should receive premedication prior to ONPATTRO administration to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
Each Page 5 of 32 of the following premedications should be given on the day of ONPATTRO infusion, at least 60 minutes prior to the start of infusion: • Intravenous corticosteroid (dexamethasone 10 mg, or equivalent) • Oral acetaminophen (500 mg) • Intravenous H1 blocker (diphenhydramine 50 mg, or equivalent) • Intravenous H2 blocker (famotidine 20 mg, or equivalent) For premedications not available or not tolerated intravenously, equivalents may be administered orally.
If clinically indicated, the corticosteroid may be tapered to a minimum dose of 5 mg of dexamethasone (intravenous), or equivalent, for patients who are tolerating their infusions well. Additional or higher doses of one or more of the premedications may be administered to reduce the risk of IRRs, if needed (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
Vitamin A Supplementation Supplementation with the recommended daily amount of vitamin A is recommended (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS). • Pediatrics (<18 years of age): Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.
3 Pharmacokinetics). 3 Pharmacokinetics). ONPATTRO has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. 3 Pharmacokinetics). 3 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics). ONPATTRO has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease.
3 Reconstitution ONPATTRO must be diluted prior to IV infusion. The diluted solution for infusion sho uld be prepared by a healthcare professional using aseptic technique as follows: • Remove ONPATTRO from the refrigerator. Do not shake or vortex.
• Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration. Do not use if discoloration or foreign particles are present. ONPATTRO is a white to off-white, opalescent, homogeneous solution. A white to off-white coating may be observed on the inner surface of the vial, typically at the liquid-headspace interface.
Product quality is not impacted by presence of the white to off-white coating. 2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment). • Withdraw the entire contents of one or more vials into a single sterile syringe. 45-micron polyethersulfone (PES) syringe filter into a sterile container.
• Withdraw the required volume of filtered ONPATTRO from the sterile container using a sterile syringe. 9% sodium chloride solution for a total volume of 200 mL. Use infusion bags that are DEHP-free. • Gently invert the bag to mix the solution.
Do not shake. Do not mix or dilute with other drugs. • Discard unused portion of ONPATTRO. • Inspect the infusion bag visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. DO NOT use if solution contains particles.
• Check the container for minute leaks prior to use by squeezing the bag firmly; ensure that the seal is intact. If leaks are found, discard solution, as sterility may be impaired. • ONPATTRO does not contain preservatives. The diluted solution should be administered immediately after preparation.
If not used immediately, store in the infusion bag at room temperature (15 °C to 30 °C) for up to 16 hours (including infusion time). Do not freeze. 3 Reconstitution). 2-micron polyethersulfone (PES) in-line infusion filter. Use infusion sets and lines that are di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate-free (DEHP-free).
Page 7 of 32 • Infuse the diluted solution of ONPATTRO intravenously over approximately 80 minutes at an initial infusion rate of approximately 1 mL/min for the first 15 minutes; then, if well tolerated, increase to approximately 3 mL/min for the remainder of the infusion.
The duration of infusion may be extended in the event of an IRR (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS). • Administer only through a free-flowing venous access line. Monitor the infusion site for possible infiltration during drug administration.
Suspected extravasation should be managed according to local standard practice for non-vesicants. • Observe the patient during the infusion and, if clinically indicated, following the infusion (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS). 9% sodium chloride solution to ensure that all ONPATTRO has been administered.
5 Missed Dose If a dose is missed, administer ONPATTRO as soon as possible. • If ONPATTRO is administered within 3 days of the missed dose, continue dosing according to the patient’s original schedule. • If ONPATTRO is administered more than 3 days after the missed dose, continue dosing every 3 weeks thereafter.
