Background<br />
Arzerra is a centrally authorised product containing ofatumumab, a monoclonal antibody used in the<br />
treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) in patients who are refractory to fludarabine and<br />
alemtuzumab. The CHMP is evaluating a type II variation procedure for Arzerra, to include information<br />
with regard to infusion reactions in the product information. The PRAC is responsible for providing<br />
advice to the CHMP on the necessary updates to the RMP to support this variation.<br />
Summary of advice<br />
<br />
The RMP version 7 for Arzerra (ofatumumab) in the context of the variation under evaluation<br />
by the CHMP was considered acceptable. Minor amendments were recommended for the next<br />
update of the RMP as well as some refinements of the proposed text for the product<br />
information. The PRAC also agreed on a DHPC and communication plan.<br />
