5 Warnings and Precautions

5.1 Hemorrhage

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

. . .

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.

6 Adverse Reactions

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

. . .

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.


7 Drug Interactions

Concomitant Use of Anticoagulants, Thrombolytic Drugs, Heparin or Antiplatelet Agents

Subsection title revised

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Concomitant 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)].


8 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.


17 PCI/PI/MG (Patient Counseling Information/Patient Information/Medication Guide)

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

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.

6 Adverse Reactions

6.3 Postmarketing 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.

General disorders and administration site conditions:
Injection site reactions including injection site pain, injection site bruising and injection site erythema

5 Warnings and Precautions

5.1 Hemorrhage

Additions underlined

In the postmarketing setting, cases of life-threatening and fatal bleeding were reported in patients receiving CABLIVI.

Avoid concomitant use of CABLIVI with antiplatelet agents 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.

7 Drug Interactions

Additions underlined

Concomitant Use of Anticoagulants or Antiplatelet Agents

Concomitant use of CABLIVI with any anticoagulant 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)].

(Newly added subsection)

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.
