6 Adverse Reactions

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Psoriasis of the Scalp

The safety of ILUMYA was assessed in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Trial 4) in 231 subjects with psoriasis of the scalp [see Clinical Studies (14)]. No new safety signals were identified through follow-up to Week 72.

Psoriasis of the Nail

The safety of ILUMYA was assessed in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Trial 5) in 99 subjects with psoriasis of the nail [see Clinical Studies (14)]. No new safety signals were identified through Week 28.

6.2 Immunogenicity

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies.

Up to Week 64, approximately 6.5% of subjects treated with ILUMYA 100 mg developed antibodies to tildrakizumab. Of the subjects who developed antibodies to tildrakizumab, approximately 40% (2.5% of all subjects receiving ILUMYA) had antibodies that were classified as neutralizing. Development of neutralizing antibodies to tildrakizumab was associated with lower serum tildrakizumab concentrations and reduced efficacy.

8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Pregnancy Exposure Registry

There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes in women with plaque psoriasis who become pregnant while being treated with or who are exposed to ILUMYA during pregnancy. These patients should be encouraged to enroll in this registry by calling MotherToBaby a service of the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) at 1-866-626-6847 or by visiting the website https://mothertobaby.org/ongoing-study/ilumya-tildrakizumab-asmn.

Risk Summary

Limited available data with ILUMYA use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. Monoclonal antibodies are actively transported across the placenta (see Clinical Considerations). An embryofetal developmental study conducted with tildrakizumab in pregnant monkeys revealed no treatment-related effects to the developing fetus when tildrakizumab was administered subcutaneously during organogenesis to near parturition at doses up to 159 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). When dosing was continued until parturition, an increase in neonatal death was observed at 59 times the MRHD [see Data below]. The clinical significance of this nonclinical finding is unknown.

All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations

Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions

Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses, and peaks during the third trimester. Therefore, ILUMYA may be present in infants exposed in utero. The potential clinical impact of tildrakizumab exposure in infants exposed in utero should be considered.

MEDICATION GUIDE

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Before receiving ILUMYA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if ILUMYA can harm your unborn baby.

    • If you become pregnant during treatment with ILUMYA, you are encouraged to enroll in the pregnancy registry. The purpose of this registry is to collect information about the health of you and your baby. Talk with your healthcare provider or call 1-866-626-6847 to enroll in this registry or visit https://mothertobaby.org/ongoing-study/ilumya-tildrakizumab-asmn.

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Additions and/or revisions underlined:

Pregnancy

Advise patients that there is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ILUMYA during pregnancy [see Use in Specific Populations, Pregnancy (8.1)].

Immunizations

Instruct patients to inform the healthcare practitioner that they are taking ILUMYA prior to a potential vaccination since the use of live vaccine is not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
