Avoid
concomitant use of CABLIVI with antiplatelet agents, thrombolytic drugs,
heparin, or anticoagulants. Interrupt use of CABLIVI if clinically
significant bleeding occurs. If needed, von Willebrand factor concentrate may
be administered to rapidly correct hemostasis. If CABLIVI is restarted, monitor
closely for signs of bleeding.

TITAN
and HERCULES
The
safety of CABLIVI was evaluated in two placebo-controlled clinical studies
(HERCULES, in which 71 patients received CABLIVI; and TITAN, in which 35
patients received CABLIVI). The data described below and in the Warnings and
Precautions reflect exposure to CABLIVI during the blinded periods of both
studies, which include 106 patients with aTTP who received at least one dose,
age 18 to 79 years, of whom 69% were female and 73% were White. The median
treatment duration with CABLIVI was 35 days (range 1-77 days).
.
. .
Pediatric
Patients
The
safety of CABLIVI in patients aged less than or equal to 18 years with aTTP was evaluated in an
observational, retrospective chart review (OBS17325) [see Clinical Studies (14)]. The most commonly reported events were
epistaxis in 4 (13.3%) patients and tachycardia in 4 (13.3%) patients. One
serious bleeding adverse reaction (hemorrhage urinary tract) was reported. The
adverse reaction profile in pediatric patients 12 years and older with aTTP was
consistent with that in adults.

use of CABLIVI with any anticoagulant, thrombolytic drugs, heparin or
antiplatelet agent may increase the risk of bleeding. Avoid concomitant use
when possible. Assess and monitor closely for bleeding with concomitant use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Use in Specific Populations
8.4
Pediatric Use
Additions
and/or revisions underlined:
The
safety and effectiveness of CABLIVI in pediatric patients 12 years of age
and older with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP), in
combination with plasma exchange and immunosuppressive therapy have been
established. Use of CABLIVI for this indication is supported by evidence from
an observational, retrospective chart review and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic
modeling and simulation data [see Adverse
Reactions (6), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14)].
The
safety and effectiveness of CABLIVI in pediatric patients less than 12 years of
age have not been
established.

COUNSELING INFORMATION

Advise
the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Instructions for Use).
Bleeding
[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
- Advise
patients and/or caregivers that bruising and bleeding may occur more
easily, that nose bleeds and bleeding of gums may occur, and that it may take
them longer than usual to stop bleeding.
- Advise
patients and/or caregivers to contact their healthcare provider
immediately if symptoms of excessive bruising, excessive bleeding, or major
bleeding occur. Signs and symptoms of bleeding include pain, swelling or
discomfort, prolonged bleeding from cuts, increased menstrual flow or vaginal
bleeding, nosebleeds, bleeding of gums from brushing, unusual bleeding or
bruising, red or dark brown urine, red or tar black stools, headache,
dizziness, or weakness [see Warnings and
Precautions (5.1)].
- Advise
patients and/or caregivers to inform their healthcare provider before
scheduling any elective surgery, dental procedure or other invasive
interventions.

Experience
Additions and/or
revisions underlined:
The following adverse
reactions have been identified during postapproval use of CABLIVI. 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 caplacizumab-yhdp exposure.
