KOGENATE FS [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Formulated with Sucrose]For Intravenous Use, Lyophilized Powder for Reconstitution with BIO-SET, a needlelessself-contained reconstitution systemInitial U.S. Approval: 1993BRIEF SUMMARY - CONSULT PACKAGE INSERT FOR FULL PRESCRIBINGINFORMATION1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE1.1 Control and Prevention of Bleeding EpisodesKogenate ® FS is an antihemophilic factor that is indicated for the control and preventionof bleeding episodes in adults and children (0-16 years) with hemophilia A.1.2 Peri-operative ManagementKogenate FS is indicated for surgical prophylaxis in adults and children with hemophiliaA.1.3 Routine Prophylaxis in Children with Hemophilia A with No Pre-existing JointDamageKogenate FS is indicated for routine prophylactic treatment to reduce the frequency ofbleeding episodes and the risk of joint damage in children with no pre-existing jointdamage.Kogenate FS is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand’s disease.4 CONTRAINDICATIONSKogenate FS is contraindicated in patients who have manifested life-threateningim<strong>media</strong>te hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to the product or itscomponents, including mouse or hamster proteins.5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS5.1 GeneralThe clinical response to Kogenate FS may vary. If bleeding is not controlled with therecommended dose, the plasma level of factor VIII should be determined and a sufficientdose of Kogenate FS should be administered to achieve a satisfactory clinical response.If the patient’s plasma factor VIII level fails to increase as expected or if bleedingis not controlled after the expected dose, the presence of an inhibitor (neutralizingantibodies) should be suspected and appropriate testing performed. [See Warningsand Precautions (5.4).]5.2 Anaphylaxis and Severe Hypersensitivity ReactionsAllergic-type hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported withKogenate FS and have manifested as pruritus, rash, urticaria, hives, facial swelling,dizziness, hypotension, nausea, chest discomfort, cough, dyspnea, wheezing, flushing,discomfort (generalized) and fatigue. Discontinue Kogenate FS if symptoms occurand seek im<strong>media</strong>te emergency treatment.Kogenate FS contains trace amounts of mouse immunoglobulin G (MuIgG) andhamster (BHK) proteins. Patients treated with this product may develop hypersensitivityto these non-human mammalian proteins.5.3 Neutralizing AntibodiesPatients treated with antihemophilic factor (AHF) products should be carefully monitoredfor the development of factor VIII inhibitors by appropriate clinical observations andlaboratory tests. 6 Inhibitors have been reported following administration of KogenateFS predominantly in previously untreated patients. If expected plasma factor VIII activitylevels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled with an expected dose, an assaythat measures factor VIII inhibitor concentration should be performed. [See Warningsand Precautions (5.4).]5.4 Monitoring Laboratory Tests• Monitor plasma factor VIII activity levels by the one-stage clotting assay to confirmthe adequate factor VIII levels have been achieved and maintained, when clinicallyindicated. [See Dosage and Administration (2).]• Monitor for development of factor VIII inhibitors. Perform assay to determine if factorVIII inhibitor is present. If expected factor VIII activity plasma levels are not attained, orif bleeding is not controlled with the expected dose of Kogenate FS. Use Bethesda Units(BU) to titer inhibitors.• If the inhibitor is less than 10 BU per mL, the administration of additional Kogenate FSconcentrate may neutralize the inhibitor, and may permit an appropriate hemostaticresponse.Adequate hemostasis may not be achieved if inhibitor titers are above 10 BU permL. The inhibitor titer may rise following Kogenate FS infusion as a result of ananamnestic response to factor VIII. The treatment or prevention of bleeding in suchpatients requires the use of alternative therapeutic approaches and agents.6 ADVERSE REACTIONSThe most serious adverse reactions are systemic hypersensitivity reactions includingbronchospastic reactions and/or hypotension and anaphylaxis and the developmentof high-titer inhibitors necessitating alternative treatments to AHF.The most common adverse reactions observed in clinical trials (frequency ≥ 4% ofpatients) are inhibitor formation in previously untreated patients (PUPs) and minimallytreated patients (MTPs), skin-related hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., rash, pruritus),infusion site reactions (e.g., inflammation, pain), and central venous access device(CVAD) line-associated infections in patients requiring a CVAD for intravenousadministration.6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reactionrates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates inclinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.Previously Treated Patients (PTPs)During the clinical studies conducted in PTPs, there were 24 adverse reactions reportedin the course of 24,936 infusions.Adverse reactions reported by ≥ 4% of the patients are listed in Table 3 below.Table 3 Adverse Reactions (AR) in Previously Treated Patients (PTPs) with Frequencyof ≥ 4%MedDRA Primary SOC Preferred Term Total No. of Total No. ofPatients: 73 Infusions: 24,936No. of Patients AR per Infusion (%)with AR (%)Skin and Subcutaneous Rash, pruritus 6 (8.2%) 0.02Tissue DisordersGeneral Disorders and Infusion site 3 (4.1%) 0.01Administration Site reactionsConditionsSOC = System Organ ClassPreviously Untreated Patients (PUPs) and Minimally Treated Patients (MTPs)In clinical studies with pediatric PUPs and MTPs, there were 29 adverse reactionsreported in the course of 9,389 infusions.Adverse reactions reported by ≥ 4% of the patients are listed in Table 4 below.Table 4 Adverse Reactions (AR) in Previously Untreated Patients (PUPs) and MinimallyTreated Patients (MTPs) with Frequency of ≥ 4% (Age Range 2-27 months)MedDRA Primary SOC Preferred Term Total No. of Total No. ofpatients: 61 Infusions: 9,389No. of Patients AR per Infusionwith AR (%) (%)Skin and Subcutaneous Rash, pruritus, 10 (16.4) 0.01Tissue DisordersurticariaBlood and Lymphatic System Factor VIII 9 (15) 1 N/ADisordersinhibitionGeneral Disorders and Infusion site 4 (6.6) 0.04Administration Site reactionsConditionsSOC = System Organ Class1.

★ ★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★ ★in the newsSince the 113th Congressconvened at the beginningof the year, lawmakers havespent the lion’s share of theirtime confronting many ofthe same issues that occupiedthe attention of the previous 112thCongress. Legislative activity on CapitolHill has focused almost exclusively onitems related to federal spending – namely,deficit reduction and sequestration, thebudget, and the annual appropriations process.Legislators continue to show generalconcern that funding cuts will underminefederal healthcare programs, but despitethis consensus Congress has yet to advanceany proposal to ensure critical programsare adequately supported and patientshave ongoing, unhindered access to careand treatment options.UPDATE$$WASHINGTONPrepared by Dale P. Dirks and Dane R. Christiansen,<strong>ASD</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong>’s representatives in Washington10 InsideOut


Budget andAppropriationsWhen FY 2013 began last October, the previousCongress had done little work on the12 annual appropriations bills that fundall federal programs. In order to keep thegovernment operating, lawmakers passeda continuing resolution (CR) that fundedfederal programs near their FY 2012 levelsuntil March 27.In mid March, with the temporary CR setto expire, the new Congress completedwork on FY 2013 appropriations by passingan omnibus appropriations packagethat included a year-long CR for somefederal programs while substituting completedappropriations bills for others. Programsfunded through the Labor-Healthand Human Services (HHS)-EducationAppropriations bill will continue to befunded near their FY 2012 levels (minus5.1% for sequestration).Cuts from sequestration also impactmany of the programs funded throughthe omnibus package’s completed appropriationsbills, which includes theFY 2013 Agriculture-Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) appropriationsbill. While Congress did provide someincreased budgetary support to the FDA,prescription drug user fees are subjectto sequestration. It remains to be seenhow budgetary challenges at the FDAmight impact the review of innovativetreatment options.Protracted work on FY 2013 appropriationsdelayed the release of the President’sFY 2014 budget requestto Congress until April.The President’s budget ★request is traditionallyreleased in February andserves as the ceremonial★beginning of the annualbudget and appropriations★process on Capitol Hill.Rather than wait for theAdministration’s guidance, both the Houseand Senate decided to move ahead withcrafting their FY 2014 budget resolutionsand appropriations bills.SequestrationAt the beginning of March, automatic across-the-board funding cuts known as“sequestration” went into effect. These cuts are a self-imposed penalty that lawmakersplaced on the federal government for their inability to reach consensus on adeficit-reduction strategy. Sequestration generally indiscriminately reduces fundingfor defense and social programs in equal measure.The consequences of sequestration will be felt most directly by patients who dependon the Medicare program. The sequester reduced reimbursement for items and servicesfurnished to Medicare program beneficiaries by 2 percent. As just one exampleof how this cut is applied, physician-administered biologics formerly reimbursedat Average Sales Price (ASP) +6 percent are now reimbursed at ASP +4.3 percent.In the coming months, the tangible impact of this cut on patient access to care andtherapies will become more apparent.Because both parties tend to view draconian cuts to medical research and patientcare activities in a negative light, Congressional leaders continue to negotiate witheach other and the Administration on a deficit-reduction strategy that could potentiallyreplace sequestration.<strong>ASD</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> 11


★ ★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★ ★WASHINGTONUPDATELegislativeUpdateSpecialty Tiers Legislation – CongressmanDavid McKinley (R-W. Va.-1st) andCongresswoman Lois Capps (D-Calif.-24th) have reintroduced the PatientsAccess to Treatments Act (H.R. 460).This bill was relatively popular in the lastCongress and seeks to restrict specialtydrug tiers used by private insurance plans.Under some co-insurance requirementsof certain specialty tiers, out-of-pocketexpenses for patients relying on biologicproducts can create a cost-driven barrierto access. Patient organizations continueto work together to advocate for passageof H.R. 460 through the Coalition forAccessible Treatments.IVIG Legislation – One of the major achievementsof the last Congress was the enactmentof the Medicare IVIG Access Act.Since this legislation was passed in lateDecember, the Department of Health andHuman Services (HHS) has been workingto put together a project to study Medicarecoverage of the items and services necessaryto facilitate home infusion for patientswith Primary ImmunodeficiencyDiseases (PIDD). When the study begins,it will follow up to 4,000 PIDD patients forthree years. The data gathered throughthis study should ultimately inform HHSof how to establish a more completebenefit for Medicare home infusion byPIDD patients. The Immune DeficiencyFoundation and other stakeholders continueto work with HHS to ensure the IVIGstudy is a success.Track-and-Trace Legislation – Late into thelast Congress, legislators in the House andSenate were working to reach an agreementon a national drug pedigree trackingsystem known as “track and trace.” Due tothe condensed timetable at the end of theyear, lawmakers were unable to resolvetheir differences on some core issues.Therefore, track-and-trace negotiationshave continued into the new Congress.A coalition of manufacturers, distributorsand other stakeholders continues toadvocate for the establishment of an appropriatenational drug pedigree trackingsystem through the PharmaceuticalDistribution Security Alliance.12 InsideOut


Medicare Cuts to Neurologists – Late lastyear, the Centers for Medicare andMedicaid Services (CMS) announcedthat the 2013 reimbursement rates toneurologists for certain diagnostic testswould be cut by nearly 50%. This drasticreduction came as a surprise to theneurology community and caused alarmto patients who rely on the screening servicesfor an accurate diagnosis and earlyintervention with a biologic treatmentregimen. Organizations like the Guillain-Barré Syndrome/Chronic InflammatoryDemyelinating Polyneuropathy FoundationInternational and their congressionalchampions have begun calling on CMSto reverse or mitigate this cut for 2014 toensure that patient access to quality careand treatments is not jeopardized.AgencyUpdate340B Program Review – Key members ofCongress continue to hold a watchfuleye on the Health Resources andServices Administration’s (HRSA) 340BDrug Discount Program. In February,a handful of legislators sent a letter toHRSA that requests transparency in theongoing audit and recertification of coveredentities participating in the 340Bprogram. The letter specifically asks forinformation on the standards and decision-makingcriteria used to removeentities from the program. The letteralso asks if legal action will be pursuedagainst entities that have been removedfrom the program for the time they spentparticipating without meeting the program’scriteria.Part B and Durable Medical Equipment – InFebruary, HHS issued a report entitled,“Part B Payments for Drugs Infusedthrough Durable Medical Equipment.”Medicare currently reimburses infusiondrugs administered through DurableMedical Equipment (DME) at 95 percentof Average Wholesale Price (AWP).HHS found that Medicare spending onDME infusion drugs could be meaningfullyreduced if payment was based onAverage Sales Price rather than AWP.<strong>ASD</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> 13

The goalof the designation is to bring drugsfor deadly diseases to patientsfaster. While new drugs currentlyundergo three phases of clinicaltesting, breakthrough drugs couldbe granted FDA approval after justone expanded Phase 1 trial.So far, three drugs have beenawarded this status: Kalydeco andVX-809, both cystic fibrosis drugsfrom Vertex ® Pharmaceuticals Inc.,and a third drug that has not yetbeen made public.

in the newsBottle Safest Betfor Some BabiesAccording to a recent policy statementfrom the American Academy ofPediatrics (AAP), American women withHIV should not breastfeed their babies,even if they are receiving antiretroviraltherapy. As reported in Antiviral Therapy,studies in Africa showed thatsix months of antiretroviralprophylaxis could reduce therisk of transmission from fiveto one percent. However, theAAP argues that in a settingwhere mothers can accessclean water and affordableinfant formula, any transmissionrisk outweighs thebenefits of breastfeeding.New AIDS-like Diseasein Asians not ContagiousResearchers at The National Institutesof Health (NIH) discovered a new adultonsetdisease in Southeast Asia thatcauses symptoms similar to AIDS, but isnot contagious.

Trout on antibiotics. Bass on steroids. Studies acrossthe U.S., Europe and Canada have found drugs in fish that swim in municipal watersources, making groundwater contamination a growing environmental concern. It’sunknown whether the pharmaceuticals showing up in our water are causing a neurologicaleffect on these animals – or on humans. However, it is clear that drugs gettinginto the water through improper disposal, like flushing them down the toilet, arehaving an effect on our ecosystems.As reported by The New York Times, a new law in Alameda County,California will require drug manufacturers to create and pay for disposalprograms for unused medications. Supporters of the law say take-backprograms would help keep drugs out of the water supply, and would alsoprevent unused drugs from being taken accidentally by children, used recreationallyby teens or stolen.Detractors point out that the new law does not address issues of water contaminatedthrough effluent, which may be the greater source of pharmaceutical content.The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), which representsbrand-name drug companies, the Generic Pharmaceutical Association and theBiotechnology Industry Organization are joining forces in filing a lawsuit against theAlameda County ordinance.Keeping water sources drug-free will involve cooperation between communities,pharmaceutical companies, law enforcement agencies and patients. As yet, acomprehensive solution has not been proposed – but ultimately, we’ll need to worktogether to clear the water.20 InsideOut

AFLURIA ® (Influenza Virus Vaccine)BRIEF SUMMARY (For full Prescribing Information, see Package Insert)INDICATIONS AND USAGEAFLURIA is an inactivated influenza virus vaccine indicated for active immunization against influenza disease causedby influenza virus subtypes A and type B present in the vaccine. AFLURIA is approved for use in persons 5 years of ageand older.DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONFor intramuscular (IM) injection only (0.5 mL).Dose and ScheduleChildrenChildren 5 years through 8 years of age not previously vaccinated with an influenza vaccine, or vaccinated for the firsttime last season with only one dose: Administer two 0.5 mL doses, one on Day 1 and another approximately 4 weeks later.Children 5 years through 8 years of age given two doses last season, or at least one dose two or more years ago:Administer a single 0.5 mL dose.Children 9 years of age and older: Administer a single 0.5 mL dose.AdultsAdminister a single 0.5 mL dose.AdministrationThe preferred site for intramuscular injection is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.CONTRAINDICATIONSAFLURIA is contraindicated in individuals with known severe allergic reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis), to any component ofthe vaccine including egg protein, or to a previous dose of any influenza vaccine (see Description [11]).WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSFever and Febrile SeizuresAdministration of CSL’s 2010 Southern Hemisphere influenza vaccine was associated with postmarketing reports ofincreased rates of fever and febrile seizures in children predominantly below the age of 5 years as compared to previousyears; these increased rates were confirmed by postmarketing studies. Febrile events were also observed in children 5to less than 9 years of age.Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) has occurred following vaccination with AFLURIA. If GBS has occurred within 6 weeks ofprevious influenza vaccination, the decision to give AFLURIA should be based on careful consideration of the potentialbenefits and risks.Preventing and Managing Allergic ReactionsAppropriate medical treatment and supervision must be available to manage possible anaphylactic reactions followingadministration of the vaccine.Altered ImmunocompetenceIf AFLURIA is administered to immunocompromised persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, theimmune response may be diminished.Limitations of Vaccine EffectivenessVaccination with AFLURIA may not protect all individuals.ADVERSE REACTIONSIn children 5 through 17 years of age, the most common injection-site reactions observed in clinical studies with AFLURIAwere pain (≥60%), redness (≥20%) and swelling (≥10%). The most common systemic adverse events were headache,myalgia (≥20%), malaise and fever (≥10%).In adults 18 through 64 years of age, the most common injection-site adverse reactions observed in clinical studieswith AFLURIA were tenderness (≥60%) and pain (≥40%). The most common systemic adverse events observed wereheadache, malaise, and muscle aches (≥20%).In adults 65 years of age and older, the most common injection-site adverse reactions observed in clinical studies withAFLURIA were tenderness (≥30%) and pain (≥10%).Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinicalstudies of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another vaccine and may not reflectthe rates observed in clinical practice.ChildrenIn clinical studies, AFLURIA has been administered to, and safety information collected for, 3,009 children ages 6 monthsto less than 18 years. Clinical safety data for AFLURIA in children is presented from three clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and3). Data from a comparator-controlled trial (Study 1) are presented, followed by pooled data from two open label studies(Studies 2 and 3). Subjects 6 months through 8 years of age received one or two vaccinations as determined by previousvaccination history (for further details on clinical study design, dosing and demographics see Clinical Studies [14]).Study 1 included 1,468 subjects for safety analysis, ages 6 months to less than 18 years, randomized to receive AFLURIA(735 subjects) or another U.S.-licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur, Inc.)(733 subjects).Study 2 included 1,976 subjects for safety analysis, ages 6 months to less than 18 years. All subjects received AFLURIA.Study 3 included 298 subjects for safety analysis, ages 6 months to less than 9 years. All subjects received AFLURIA.The safety assessment was similar for the three pediatric studies. Local (injection site) and systemic adverse eventswere solicited for 7 days post-vaccination (Tables 1 and 2 in the Prescribing Information). Unsolicited adverse eventswere collected for 30 days post-vaccination. All adverse events are presented regardless of any treatment causalityassigned by study investigators.Among the pediatric studies, there were no vaccine-related deaths or vaccine-related serious adverse events reportedin children 5 years of age and older.In the comparator-controlled trial (Study 1), the rate of fever after the first dose of AFLURIA in subjects aged 5 to lessthan 9 years was 16% as compared to 8% in subjects who received the comparator. The rate of fever in subjects aged9 to less than 18 years following a single dose of AFLURIA was 6% as compared to 4% in subjects who received thecomparator. In all three pediatric studies, the rates of fever in subjects aged 5 to less than 9 years who received AFLURIAwere lower after dose 2 than dose 1.The data below are presented for children 5 years and older.Proportion of Subjects 5 Through 17 Years of Age With Solicited Local or Systemic Adverse Events Within 7 DaysAfter First or Second Dose of AFLURIA, Irrespective of Causality (Study 1)The most common solicited adverse reactions (>20%) in Study 1 were pain, redness, myalgia, malaise, and headache(subjects aged 5 years to less than 9 years of age) and pain, myalgia, malaise, and headache (subjects aged 9 yearsto less than 18 years).Proportion of Subjects 5 Through 17 Years of Age With Unsolicited Adverse Events (Study 1)In Study 1, unsolicited adverse events that occurred in ≥5% of subjects who received AFLURIA in ages 5 years to lessthan 9 years following the first or second dose included cough (15%) and pyrexia (9%). Unsolicited adverse events thatoccurred in ≥5% of subjects who received AFLURIA in ages 9 years to less than 18 years following the first dose includedcough (7%), oropharyngeal pain (7%), headache (7%), and nasal congestion (6%).Proportion of Subjects 5 Through 17 Years of Age With Solicited Local or Systemic Adverse Events Within 7 DaysAfter Administration of AFLURIA, Irrespective of Causality (Studies 2 and 3)The most common solicited adverse reactions (>20%) in Studies 2 and 3 were pain and erythema (subjects aged 5 yearsto less than 9 years of age) and pain, headache, and general muscle ache (subjects aged 9 years to less than 18 years).Proportion of Subjects 5 Through 17 Years of Age With Unsolicited Adverse Events (Studies 2 and 3)In Studies 2 and 3, unsolicited adverse events that occurred in ≥5% of subjects ages 5 years to less than 9 years afterthe first or second dose included the following: upper respiratory tract infection (13%), cough (10%), rhinorrhea (7%),headache (5%), nasopharyngitis (5%) and pyrexia (5%). Unsolicited adverse events that occurred in ≥5% of subjectswho received AFLURIA in ages 9 years to less than 18 years following the first dose included upper respiratory tractinfection (9%) and headache (8%).AdultsIn clinical studies, a single dose of AFLURIA was administered to, and safety information collected for, 11,104subjects ages 18 to less than 65 years and 836 subjects ages 65 years and older. Clinical safety data for AFLURIAin adults are presented from three clinical studies (Studies 4 through 6). In all adult studies, there were novaccine-related deaths or vaccine-related serious adverse events reported.Study 4 included 1,357 subjects for safety analysis, ages 18 to less than 65 years, randomized to receive AFLURIA(1,089 subjects) or placebo (268 subjects) (see Clinical Studies [14]).Study 5 included 15,020 subjects for safety analysis, ages 18 to less than 65 years, randomized to receive AFLURIA(10,015 subjects) or placebo (5,005 subjects) (see Clinical Studies [14]).Study 6 included 1,266 subjects for safety analysis, ages 65 years and older, randomized to receive AFLURIA(630 subjects) or another U.S.-licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (manufactured by Sanofi PasteurSA) as an active control (636 subjects) (see Clinical Studies [14]).The safety assessment was identical for the three adult studies. Local (injection-site) and systemic adverseevents were solicited for 5 days post-vaccination (Table 3). Unsolicited adverse events were collected for 21days post-vaccination. All adverse events are presented regardless of any treatment causality assigned by studyinvestigators.Proportion of Subjects 18 Years of Age and Older With Solicited Local or Systemic Adverse Events Within 5Days After Administration of AFLURIA or Placebo, Irrespective of Causality (Studies 4, 5, and 6)In Studies 4, 5, and 6, the solicited local or systemic adverse events that occurred in ≥20% of subjects who receivedAFLURIA (regardless of causality) were as follows:Study 4: tenderness (pain on touching), pain without touching, headache, malaise.Study 5: tenderness (pain on touching), pain without touching, headache, malaise, muscle aches.Study 6: tenderness (pain on touching).Proportion of Adult Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (Studies 4, 5, and 6)In Study 4, headache was the only unsolicited adverse event that occurred in ≥5% of subjects who received AFLURIAor placebo (8% versus 6%, respectively).In Study 5, headache was the only unsolicited adverse event that occurred in ≥5% of subjects who received AFLURIAor placebo (12% versus 11%, respectively).In Study 6, unsolicited adverse events that occurred in ≥5% of subjects who received AFLURIA included headache(8%), nasal congestion (7%), cough (5%), rhinorrhea (5%), and pharyngolaryngeal pain (5%).Postmarketing ExperienceBecause postmarketing reporting of adverse reactions is voluntary and from a population of uncertain size, it is notalways possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to vaccine exposure. The adversereactions described have been included in this section because they: 1) represent reactions that are known to occurfollowing immunizations generally or influenza immunizations specifically; 2) are potentially serious; or 3) have beenreported frequently. These adverse reactions reflect experience in both children and adults and include those identifiedduring post-approval use of AFLURIA outside the US since 1985.Blood and lymphatic system disordersTransient thrombocytopeniaImmune system disordersAllergic reactions including anaphylactic shock and serum sicknessNervous system disordersNeuralgia, paresthesia, and convulsions (including febrile seizures); encephalopathy, neuritis or neuropathy, transversemyelitis, and GBSVascular disordersVasculitis with transient renal involvementSkin and subcutaneous tissue disordersPruritus, urticaria, and rashAdverse Reactions Associated With Influenza VaccinationAnaphylaxis has been reported after administration of AFLURIA. Egg protein can induce im<strong>media</strong>te hypersensitivityreactions among persons who have severe egg allergy. Allergic reactions include hives, angioedema, asthma, andsystemic anaphylaxis (see Contraindications [4]).The 1976 swine influenza vaccine was associated with an increased frequency of GBS. Evidence for a causal relation ofGBS with subsequent vaccines prepared from other influenza viruses is unclear. If influenza vaccine does pose a risk, itis probably slightly more than one additional case per 1 million persons vaccinated.Neurological disorders temporally associated with influenza vaccination, such as encephalopathy, optic neuritis/neuropathy, partial facial paralysis, and brachial plexus neuropathy, have been reported.Microscopic polyangiitis (vasculitis) has been reported temporally associated with influenza vaccination.DRUG INTERACTIONSConcurrent Use With Other VaccinesThere are no data to assess the concomitant administration of AFLURIA with other vaccines. If AFLURIA is to be givenat the same time as another injectable vaccine(s), the vaccine(s) should be administered at different injection sites.AFLURIA should not be mixed with any other vaccine in the same syringe or vial.Concurrent Use With Immunosuppressive TherapiesThe immunological response to AFLURIA may be diminished in individuals receiving corticosteroid or immunosuppressivetherapies.USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONSPregnancyPregnancy Category B: A reproductive and developmental toxicity study has been performed in female rats at a doseapproximately 265 times the human dose (on a mg/kg basis) and revealed no evidence of impaired female fertility orharm to the fetus due to AFLURIA. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, AFLURIA should be given to apregnant woman only if clearly needed.In the reproductive and developmental toxicity study, the effect of AFLURIA on embryo-fetal and pre-weaningdevelopment was evaluated in pregnant rats. Animals were administered AFLURIA by intramuscular injection twiceprior to gestation, once during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6), and once later in pregnancy (gestationday 20), 0.5 mL/rat/occasion (approximately a 265-fold excess relative to the projected human dose on a body weightbasis). No adverse effects on mating, female fertility, pregnancy, parturition, lactation parameters, and embryo-fetalor pre-weaning development were observed. There were no vaccine-related fetal malformations or other evidence ofteratogenesis.Nursing MothersAFLURIA has not been evaluated in nursing mothers. It is not known whether AFLURIA is excreted in human milk. Becausemany drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when AFLURIA is administered to a nursing woman.Pediatric UseAFLURIA is not approved for use in children less than 5 years of age. In a clinical study in which children received AFLURIAor a US-licensed comparator vaccine (Study 1, see Clinical Trials Experience, [6.1]), the incidence of fever in children 6months to less than 3 years of age following the first and second doses of AFLURIA were 37% and 15%, respectively,as compared to 14% following each dose in the comparator group. Among children 3 years to less than 5 years of age,the incidence of fever following the first and second doses of AFLURIA were 32% and 14%, respectively, as comparedto 11% and 16% in the comparator. In an open-label study (Study 2), fever, irritability, loss of appetite, and vomiting/diarrhea occurred more frequently in children 6 months to less than 3 years of age as compared to older children. Acrossthree pediatric studies of AFLURIA (Studies 1, 2, and 3), 1.2% of eligible children (n=1,764) were discontinued from thesecond vaccination because of severe fever (≥104°F) within 48 hours of the first vaccination. Across the three pediatricstudies, two children, a 7-month old and a 3-year old, experienced vaccine-related febrile seizures (rate of 0.07% acrossstudies), one of which was serious.Administration of CSL’s 2010 Southern Hemisphere influenza vaccine was associated with increased rates of fever andfebrile seizures, predominantly in children below the age of 5 years as compared to previous years, in postmarketingreports confirmed by postmarketing studies (see Warnings and Precautions [5.1]).Geriatric UseIn clinical studies, AFLURIA has been administered to, and safety information collected for, 836 subjects ages 65 yearsand older (see Clinical Trials Experience [6.1]). After administration of AFLURIA, hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodyresponses in persons 65 years of age and older were lower as compared to younger adult subjects (see Clinical Studies [14]).HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLINGPresentation: Carton NDC Number ComponentsPre-Filled Syringe 33332-012-01 Ten 0.5 mL single-dose syringes without needles [NDC 33332-012-02]Multi-Dose Vial 33332-112-10 One 5 mL vial, which contains ten 0.5 mL doses [NDC 33332-112-11]Store refrigerated at 2–8°C (36–46°F).

in the spotlightOn January 1, 2014, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act goesinto full effect. While many of the provisions in the law are still unfolding, onething is certain – the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will touch all Americans. Itwill, however, touch us all in different ways.For approximately 30 million citizens, it means insurance coverage andaccess to preventative healthcare. For insurance providers, while it couldpotentially deliver some 30 million new customers to them; it also deliverednew policy regulations they have been implementing over the past threeyears. And for the nation, the ACA means one giant step toward slowing therapidly escalating growth in the cost of healthcare.<strong>Healthcare</strong> professionals stand at the center where these groups intersect– responsible for patient care, for incorporating payer changes, andfor the cost and care of the service they deliver. In the year ahead, InsideOutwill feature articles about the ACA implementation. These articles will coverthe big picture, as well as small details to help you better understand what’schanging, who it impacts and how you can help your patients and facilitymake the transition.24 InsideOut


57%A Health Tracking Poll conducted in March 2013 bythe Kaiser Family Foundation found that 57 percentof people surveyed believe they do not have sufficientinformation about the ACA to understand howit will impact them.Understanding the ACAThe ACA became a law for many reasons.Looking at those reasons gives us a wayto understand what the Act includes andwhy it does what it does.While insuring the uninsured wasa hotly debated talking point in theACA debate, the rapidly rising cost ofhealthcare, along with the recessionAmericans faced, may have been thebiggest motivators and reason the lawwas passed this time. <strong>Healthcare</strong> in theUnited States accounts for almost 20percent of our gross domestic productaccording to Forbes magazine. As anation, we pay twice as much as otherdeveloped countries. But as high as thecost is, the fact that those costs aregrowing at a faster rate than inflation,the increase in national income andthe economy has caused the greatestalarm. 1 The basic provisions of the lawseek to address these economic andnational issues – lowering healthcarecosts and slowing its growth while improvinghealthcare outcomes.The Basic BillThe complete ACA takes up 2,700 pages.But knowing what’s in those pages canbe simplified by looking at the 10 Titlesof the law shown here and how they connectto these key objectives: increasinghealthcare access, reducing healthcarecost and improving healthcare outcomes.1.

85%With the ACA, 85 percent of each health insurance dollar mustbe spent on healthcare services and quality improvements.2010 The first provisionsimplemented in the ACA expanded accessto Medicaid coverage for low-income individualsand families who previouslyhad not qualified for the program. Otherprovisions were outlined in the Patient’sBill of Rights. The Bill works to give consumersthe control they need over theirown healthcare. This was achieved bystipulating the coverage insurance companieswould need to change or include in thepolicies they offer. These key changeswent into effect September 23, 2010 in thePatient’s Bill of Rights.»»Coverage for Americans with pre-existingconditions»»Coverage for free preventative care withno copayment»»Coverage for young adults on their parent’spolicy until age 26»»The end of lifetime limits on coverage,pre-existing conditions exclusions forchildren and arbitrary cancelation ofcoverageYou can go to http://www.healthcare.gov/law/features/rights/bill-of-rights/index.html to read all of the provisions in thePatient’s Bill of Rights.Once the ACA was passed, tax incentivesfor small businesses went into effect tohelp employers provide health insuranceto their employees in 2014. Work alsobegan on the creation of healthcare exchangesand new incentives were addedto expand the number of doctors, nursesand physician’s assistants in the primarycare workforce to serve the needs of themillions of new healthcare patients. Thisprovision includes scholarship fundingand loan repayment or forgivenessto increase the number of primary careprofessionals and encourage service inunderserved areas. Funding to supportand expand services at community healthcenters also went into effect to help meetthe needs of the newly insured.Stakeholders began building the foundationsfor several initiatives designed toimprove the health of Americans and ourhealthcare outcomes. The Prevention andPublic Health Fund was launched with$15 billion to invest in keeping Americanshealthy through programs aimed atpreventing health problems caused bylifestyle, such as smoking and obesity.Included in the ACA is a plan to reducecost and improve outcomes throughAccountable Care Organizations (ACO).The Department of Health and HumanServices (HHS) began drafting guidelinesfor the creation of these organizationswhen the ACA was passed. The goal isto coordinate the care of Medicare andMedicaid patients and to encouragehealthcare improvements by linking costto outcomes. According to the Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)two out of three Americans over 65 havemultiple chronic conditions. Coordinatingthe care for these patients could potentiallysave about $960 million over athree-year period. 2“New incentives were addedto expand the number ofdoctors, nurses and physician’sassistants in the primary careworkforce.

CommunityBenefitsPreserving Access toCommunity Oncology Practices36 InsideOut


As early as the 1970s, outpatientoncology practices have been thecornerstone of oncology care, providingstate-of-the-art facilities andmultidisciplinary approaches to oncologypatient management and clinical research. 1Often designed as a comprehensive healthcareunit, these centers provide a largevolume of cancer care. Today, nearly84 percent of all cancer patients are treatedin community cancer settings. Across thecountry, however, those community-basedpractices are facing challenges that impactpatient access to care – and potentiallyclinical outcomes.Outpatient oncology practices providebenefits to patients, and to the entirehealthcare system, by delivering a safeand cost-effective alternative to hospitalcare. These community oncology centersgrant patients easy access to sites ofcare and individualized treatment plansthat maximize convenience to patientsat a lower cost to the healthcare system.“Nearly 84 percent of allcancer patients are treated incommunity cancer settings.Across the country, however,those community-based practicesare dealing with a numberof challenges that impact patientaccess to care – and potentiallyclinical outcomes.”In practice, the benefit of community oncologycenters is increasingly understoodas a conduit to provide efficient, patientcenteredoncology care at lower costs topatients, health plans and communityphysicians. The advantages of communityoutpatient chemotherapy are significantand include: 2»»Safe, easy drug administration»»Respect for patient’s wish to avoidhospitalization»»Familiar facility that enhancespatient’s comfort and psychologicalwell-being»»Oncologist has direct and im<strong>media</strong>tecontrol of administration ofchemotherapy»»Overnight stays and expenses avoided»»Simplified tracking and control oftreatment costs»»Treatment administration at patient’sconvenienceThere are two primary entities drivingoncology care today: hospital outpatientcenters and private community clinics.According to the American Society ofClinical Oncology’s definition of privatecommunity clinics, these are privatelyowned,community-based oncology centersthat specifically have office space asa direct cost to the physician (paid, leasedor rented) and not typically in a hospitaloutpatient department (HOPD) area.Within private community oncology centers,nurses who administer care are employedby physicians. Supplies and equipmentalso represent a direct cost to thephysician. 3,4Conversely, a hospital-based outpatientdepartment or HOPD is defined as aclinic providing oncology outpatient servicesunder the hospital’s general acutecarelicense as issued by the respective“Since 2004, Medicarereimbursement in this settinghas fallen by 35 percent.In addition, the Medicaresustainable growth ratepayment system has createdadditional pressures oncommunity practices.”state. The clinic may be located on or offthe main grounds of a hospital but mustbe owned and operated by a hospital orsystem.Although essential to the oncologycommunity, the private community clinicmodel has faced many challenges due tothe Centers for Medicare and MedicaidServices (CMS) implementing significantcuts in reimbursement to private communitycenters. Since 2004, Medicarereimbursement in this setting has fallenby 35 percent. 5 In addition, the Medicaresustainable growth rate (SGR) paymentsystem has created additional pressureson community practices.Other concerns to private communitypractices are the new CMS quality andperformance requirements. In addition,340B drug pricing policies allow hospitalclinics full reimbursement for pharmaceuticalsacquired at 340B-discountedprices. 6Due to these changes, the communityoncology landscape is shifting. Privatepractices are closing or entering into jointventures or ownership models with hospitals.7,8 A 2010 Community OncologyAlliance study of 1,254 clinics and practicesdemonstrated significant changesin the financial performance of communityphysician-based oncology clinics andthe resulting impact on the marketplace.There has been a 21 percent increase inthe number of physician-owned clinicsclosing and a 20 percent increase in thenumber of practices that are strugglingfinancially.<strong>ASD</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> 37


21% numberincreasein theof physician-owned communityoncology clinics thatare closing.And consolidation of practice sitescontinues; of the 1,254 private communityoncology practices in the study, 392 practiceswere purchased by hospitals and 132practices had merged or were acquired bya corporate entity. 9 It is documented thatoncology consolidation will increase costsand create treatment access problemsfor cancer patients – especially in ruralareas. 7,9,10Although the provider landscape inoncology is rapidly changing, payers putthe cost of other aspects of oncology carebefore the movement from communitybasedcare to hospital-affiliated practices.However, the priorities for payers are stillcost drivers, such as the cost of hospitalizationsor the cost of high-priced productsas shown in Figure 1-1. 11Considering the increased focusby payers on the high price of new drugproducts and the cost of hospitalizationsshown in Figure 1-1, several independentresearchers have assessed the impact ofcare in hospital-owned outpatient clinicsversus private community outpatientpractices. An analysis of three years ofcommercial health-plan data revealed thatoncology patients treated in an HOPDare more costly to manage, regardless ofepisode length, and patients have higherhospitalization rates. The average cost foroffice-managed chemotherapy episodeslasting one month or more was $7,350versus $9,903 for HOPD-managed chemotherapy.A chemotherapy episode was definedas the duration between the first andlast date of chemotherapy being administeredto a patient. Compared with patientsmanaged in a community office-based setting,the average cost per chemotherapyepisode was 24 percent higher for HOPDpatients across the most common types ofcancer. 9When hospitalization rates and thesite of chemotherapy delivery were considered,14 out of 100 patients had at leastone hospitalization during their chemotherapyepisode in the hospital outpatientsetting versus 11 out of 100 patients whoreceived treatment in the office-managedsetting. 9When reviewing the overall distributionof office-managed patients receivingchemotherapy versus HOPD-managedPercentage of Payers Per Priority LevelP100%90%80%70%60%50%40%30%20%10%Payer Priorities in OncologyPriority #1High-pricednew productsPriority #2Cost ofhospitalizationsSelected Payer Prioritieschemotherapy episodes, over 78 percentof chemotherapy episodes for men wereoffice-managed compared to 70 percentof episodes for women. Patients 70 yearsof age and older utilized outpatient office-managedchemotherapy services at ahigher rate than patients 49 years of ageand younger. In Medicare patients, reportsdemonstrated that fewer patients receivechemotherapy in both hospital outpatientand physician offices, but rather select aspecific setting (n=7,128; 9.0 percent forboth settings). Primarily, Medicare patientsreceived treatment in office-basedchemotherapy centers (n=53,087; 66.9percent) versus HOPD chemotherapy(n=19,161; 24.1 percent). 10Total costs per year were higherfor Medicare patients receiving chemotherapyin hospital outpatient settings at$54,000, compared to $47,500 in the communitysetting. Similarly, patient out-ofpocketamounts were 10 percent higherfor patients receiving chemotherapy inhospital outpatient settings. 10Although existing data indicate thatthe cost of care may be higher in the outpatienthospital setting, there are limi-Priority #10Movement ofcommunity-basedcare to hospitalaffiliated practicesExtremely high priorityHigh priorityModerate priorityNeutralSomewhat priorityLow priorityNot at all a priority38 InsideOut


tations to these analyses that attenuatehow these findings should be interpreted.Patients treated in an outpatient hospitalsetting were younger. Therefore, it ispossible more aggressive chemotherapyregimens could have been used, whichmay have resulted in higher costs at thesesites. These studies failed to evaluate differencesin the comorbidities of these patients,which again could have skewed differencesin costs.A recent survey of healthcare plansindicated that the shift of oncology fromthe community setting to the hospital settingwas not a major concern at this time. 11However, if payers are interested in reducingor effectively slowing the increasein oncology-related healthcare costs, thistrend should be more closely evaluated.While this shift in care can substantiallyimpact payers, patients may be impactedthe most. Previous studies indicatethat out-of-pocket costs for Medicarepatients receiving chemotherapy for thetreatment of breast cancer were calculatedat $759 for care in the office-managedsetting versus $814 in the hospitaloutpatient setting. 10 It has been reportedthat private community practices offeredlower out-of-pocket costs for Medicarepatients or patients without supplementalinsurance, and greater accessibility forpatients in varying geographical regionsand rural areas. 10,12,13Given the increased costs and higherinpatient hospitalizations associated withthe delivery of chemotherapy in a hospitaloutpatient environment, and given thedrive in healthcare reform to lower costswhile improving care, it seems the trendof providers, payers and patients shouldbe toward the community oncology centers.It isn’t – and the diminishing numberof community practices reveals this unfortunatereality. To change this reality, itbecomes critical to recognize and communicatethe advantages of community oncologycare to ensure the ongoing sustainabilityof these practices and the benefitsthey deliver.Recently, the Community Countscampaign was launched to help demonstratethis value and communicate thereal, measurable benefits of communityoncology. This physician-led movementgives community practices the tools theyneed to build a unified voice and maketheir value known. A broader knowledgeof this value would provide payers, oncologypractitioners and stakeholders realworldinsight they could use to give physiciansmore choices in where they delivercare and give patients greater options andability to receive that care from a communityprovider.You can download a complimentarycopy of The Value of CommunityOncology: Site of Care Cost Analysis, fromwhich this article was excerpted.

Be creative.“We develop some pretty special skillsdelivering True Blue service at <strong>ASD</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong>.My name is Shannon Commander and here’swhy being creative is one of them.Last winter, one of our sister companiesasked me to check our emergency warehousefor a life-saving specialty drug. They neededit for a patient who lived abroad. Withoutthe medication, he had only days to live. Thepatient’s son lived in the U.S. and was waiting tofly the medication to his father.The product wasn’t in stock at <strong>ASD</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong>.I quickly started checking other distributioncenters. First I tried the AmerisourceBergenfacility closest to the son. No luck. I knew I neededto think outside our traditional network. That’swhen I started reviewing the inventory we hadin our Cubixx storage solutions in healthcarefacilities across the nation. Success! A hospitalin Dallas had the product. Once I got permissionto pull it, I had the product couriered to me,then walked it over to our sister company forshipment.A little creative thinking made a big differencein a person’s life that day. It’s not like writing anovel, but the True Blue drive to keeptrying new ideas until you succeedsure made for a happier ending”for this father and his son.www.asdhealthcare.com

Brief SummarySee package insert for full Prescribing Information. For further product information and currentpackage insert, please visit XYNTHA.com or call Wyeth Pharmaceuticals toll-free at 1-800-438-1985.INDICATIONS AND USAGEControl and Prevention of Bleeding Episodes in Patients with Hemophilia AXYNTHA is indicated for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes in patients withhemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency or classic hemophilia).Surgical Prophylaxis in Patients with Hemophilia AXYNTHA is indicated for surgical prophylaxis in patients with hemophilia A.XYNTHA does not contain von Willebrand factor, and therefore is not indicated in patients withvon Willebrand’s disease.DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHSXYNTHA is available as a white to off-white lyophilized powder in the following nominal dosages:- 250 International Units- 500 International Units- 1000 International Units- 2000 International Units- 3000 International UnitsEach XYNTHA vial has the actual recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) potency in International Unitsstated on the label.CONTRAINDICATIONSDo not use in patients who have manifested life-threatening im<strong>media</strong>te hypersensitivityreactions, including anaphylaxis, to the product or its components, including hamster proteins.WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSAnaphylaxis and Hypersensitivity Reactions—Allergic type hypersensitivity reactions arepossible. Inform patients of the early signs or symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions (includinghives [rash with itching], generalized urticaria, chest tightness, wheezing, and hypotension) andanaphylaxis. Advise patients to discontinue use of the product and to contact their physician ifthese symptoms occur.XYNTHA contains trace amounts of hamster proteins. Patients treated with this product maydevelop hypersensitivity to these non-human mammalian proteins.Neutralizing Antibodies—Patients using coagulation factor VIII products, including XYNTHA,should be monitored for the development of factor VIII inhibitors by appropriate clinical observationsand laboratory tests. Inhibitors have been reported following administration of XYNTHA. Ifexpected factor VIII activity plasma levels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled with anappropriate dose, an assay should be performed to determine if a factor VIII inhibitor is present.Monitoring: Laboratory Tests—The clinical response to XYNTHA may vary. If bleeding is notcontrolled with the recommended dose, determine the plasma level of factor VIII and administera sufficient dose of XYNTHA to achieve a satisfactory clinical response. If the patient’s plasmafactor VIII level fails to increase as expected or if bleeding is not controlled after the expected dose,suspect the presence of an inhibitor (neutralizing antibodies) and perform appropriate testingas follows:• Use individual factor VIII values for recovery and, if clinically indicated, otherpharmacokinetic characteristics to guide dosing and administration.• Monitor plasma factor VIII activity levels by the one-stage clotting assay to confirm thatadequate factor VIII levels have been achieved and are maintained, when clinically indicated.• Monitor for development of factor VIII inhibitors. Perform assay to determine if factor VIIIinhibitor is present when expected factor VIII activity plasma levels are not attained, or whenbleeding is not controlled with the expected dose of XYNTHA. Use Bethesda Units (BU) totiter inhibitors.ADVERSE REACTIONSOverall, the most common adverse reactions (≥ 5%) with XYNTHA were headache, pyrexia,nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and asthenia.Clinical Trials Experience—Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varyingconditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directlycompared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observedin clinical practice.XYNTHA was evaluated in two clinical studies (N=124). In the first study (n=94), safety andefficacy were examined in previously treated patients (PTPs) with hemophilia A (factor VIII activityin plasma [FVIII:C] ≤ 2%] who received XYNTHA for routine prophylaxis and on-demand treatment.Ninety-four patients received at least one dose of XYNTHA, resulting in a total of 6,775 infusions.The second study (n=30) examined the use of XYNTHA for surgical prophylaxis in previouslytreated patients with severe or moderately severe hemophilia A ( [FVIII:C] ≤ 2%) who requiredelective major surgery and were expected to receive XYNTHA replacement therapy for at least6 days post-surgery. All patients received at least one dose of XYNTHA, resulting in 1161 infusions.One patient received XYNTHA for a pre-surgery pharmacokinetic assessment only and did notundergo surgery.The most frequently reported adverse reaction in PTP patients was headache (24% of subjects).Other adverse reactions reported in ≥ 5% of patients were: nausea (6%), diarrhea (5%), asthenia(5%), and pyrexia (5%).The most frequently reported adverse reaction in surgical patients was pyrexia (43%). Otheradverse reactions reported in ≥ 5% of patients were: headache (13%), nausea (13%), andvomiting (7%).Immunogenicity Information—There is a potential for immunogenicity with therapeutic proteins.The clinical studies for XYNTHA examined 94 patients who had previously been treated withfactor VIII (PTPs) and 30 surgical patients. In the safety and efficacy study, two subjects with inhibitorswere observed in 89 subjects (2.2%) who completed ≥ 50 exposure days. In a Bayesian statisticalanalysis, results from this study were used to update PTP results from a prior supporting studyusing XYNTHA manufactured at the initial facility (with one de novo and two recurrent inhibitorsobserved in 110 patients) and the experience with predecessor product (with one inhibitorobserved in 113 subjects). The Bayesian analysis indicated that the population inhibitor rate forXYNTHA, an estimate of the 95% upper limit of the true inhibitor rate, was 4.17%.None of the PTPs developed anti-CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) or anti-TN8.2 antibodies. One PTPdeveloped anti-FVIII antibodies; but, this patient did not develop an inhibitor.In the surgery study, one low titer persistent inhibitor and one transient false-positive inhibitorwere reported. In this study, one surgical patient developed anti-CHO cell antibodies with noassociated allergic reaction. One patient developed anti-FVIII antibodies; but, this patient did notdevelop an inhibitor.Overall, no allergic manifestation to any immune response was observed during the study.The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of theassay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody, including neutralizing antibody, positivityin 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,comparisons of the incidence of antibodies to XYNTHA with the incidence of antibodies to otherproducts may be misleading.Postmarketing Experience—Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a populationof uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causalrelationship to drug exposure.The following postmarketing adverse reactions have been reported for XYNTHA:Hypersensitivity ReactionsAnaphylaxisInhibitor DevelopmentInadequate Therapeutic ResponseDRUG INTERACTIONSNone known.USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONSPregnancyPregnancy Category C - Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with XYNTHA.It is not known whether XYNTHA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnantwoman or can affect reproduction capacity. XYNTHA should be given to a pregnant woman onlyif clinically indicated.Labor and Delivery—There is no information available on the effect of factor VIII replacementtherapy on labor and delivery. XYNTHA should be used only if clinically indicated.Nursing Mothers—It is not known whether this drug is excreted into human milk. Because manydrugs are excreted into human milk, caution should be exercised if XYNTHA is administered tonursing mothers. XYNTHA should be given to nursing mothers only if clinically indicated.Pediatric Use—Pharmacokinetics of XYNTHA was studied in 7 previously treated patients 12-16years of age. Pharmacokinetic parameters in these patients were similar to those obtained foradults after a dose of 50 IU/kg. For these 7 patients, the mean (± SD) C maxand AUC ∞were 1.09 ±0.21 IU/mL and 11.5 ± 5.2 IU·h/mL, respectively. The mean clearance and plasma half-life valueswere 5.23 ± 2.36 mL/h/kg and 8.03 ± 2.44 hours (range 3.52 – 10.6 hours), respectively. The meanK-value and in vivo recoveries were 2.18 ± 0.41 IU/dL per IU/kg and 112 ± 23%, respectively.Geriatric Use—Clinical studies of XYNTHA did not include subjects aged 65 and over. In general,dose selection for an elderly patient should be individualized.STORAGE AND HANDLINGXYNTHA VialsProduct as Packaged for Sale:• Store XYNTHA under refrigeration at a temperature of 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F) for up to36 months from the date of manufacture until the expiration date stated on the label.

in the worksClinicalTrialsPatients with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases(PIDD) are prone to infectious disease, autoimmunedisorders and malignancy. This can result in recurringand/or chronic infections that lead to organ damage.ADMA Biologics is currently recruiting participantsfor a Phase-III, open label study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics,efficacy and safety of RI-002 (IGIV) insubjects with PIDD. This study will recruit both maleand female participants between the ages of 2 and 75.Relypsa Inc. is conducting a study to evaluatePatiromer in the treatment of hyperkalemia. Males andfemales ages 18-80 with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) at stage 3a, 3b or 4 or with hyperkalemia areeligible to participate. The study is now recruiting inmultiple centers across the United States, as well asother countries. An estimated 240 participants will beenrolled with a completion date of September 2013.Influenza infection in solid organ transplant recipientswhile on maintenance immunosuppressant therapyis associated with increased morbidity and mortality.An exploratory, open label, observer blinded study isbeing sponsored by Inova Health Care Services todetermine the safety and immunogenicity of Fluzone ®and Fluzone ® High-Dose influenza vaccine in thesehigh-risk patients. A second objective of this study isto determine the tolerability and efficacy of two differentstrengths of trivalent influenza vaccine. Male andfemale recipients of kidney, lung and heart transplantsaged 18 to 70 years are eligible to participate. Thisstudy is estimated to start in September 2013.A study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicityof ipilimumab (Yervoy ® ) in combination withNY-ESO-1 vaccine in patients with unresectable ormetastatic melanoma began in March 2013. Patientsfor whom treatment with ipilimumab has been indicatedare eligible to participate in this Phase-I study sponsoredby Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research andin collaboration with the Cancer Research Institute.Only 18 participants are estimated to enroll in thisstudy that is not yet open for participant recruitment.In patients who previously underwent a stem celltransplant, carfilzomib or Kyprolis ® may stop thegrowth of cancer cells, while dexamethasone mayimprove bone marrow function and increase bloodcell counts. The Mayo Clinic is sponsoring a Phase-IIstudy to determine if administering carfilzomib togetherwith dexamethasone may be an effective treatmentfor multiple myeloma in patients who previouslyunderwent stem cell transplant. Males and femalesaged 18 and older are eligible to participate in thisstudy that will begin in June 2013.Source: ClinicalTrials.gov, 17 April 2013<strong>ASD</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> 75

HyperRHO® S/DFull DoseRho(D) Immune Globulin (Human)Solvent /Detergent TreatedBRIEF SUMMARYCONSULT PACKAGE INSERT FOR FULL PRESCRIBINGINFORMATIONFOR INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION ONLYINDICATIONS AND USAGEPregnancy and Other Obstetric ConditionsRho(D) Immune Globulin (Human) — HyperRHO® S/D Full Doseis recommended for the prevention of Rh hemolytic disease of thenewborn by its administration to the Rho(D) negative mother within72 hours after birth of an Rho(D) positive infant, providing thefollowing criteria are met:1. The mother must be Rho(D) negative and must not already besensitized to the Rho(D) factor.2. Her child must be Rho(D) positive, and should have a negativedirect antiglobulin test (see PRECAUTIONS).If HyperRHO S/D Full Dose is administered antepartum, it isessential that the mother receive another dose of HyperRHO S/DFull Dose after delivery of an Rho(D) positive infant.If the father can be determined to be Rho(D) negative,HyperRHO S/D Full Dose need not be given.HyperRHO S/D Full Dose should be administered within 72 hoursto all nonimmunized Rho(D) negative women who have undergonespontaneous or induced abortion, follow ing ruptured tubalpregnancy, amniocentesis or abdominal trauma unless the bloodgroup of the fetus or the father is known to be Rho(D) negative. Ifthe fetal blood group cannot be determined, one must assumethat it is Rho(D) positive, and HyperRHO S/D Full Dose should beadministered to the mother.TransfusionHyperRHO S/D Full Dose may be used to prevent isoimmuni -zation in Rho(D) negative individuals who have been transfusedwith Rho(D) positive red blood cells or blood componentscontaining red blood cells.CONTRAINDICATIONSNone known.WARNINGSHyperRHO S/D Full Dose is made from human plasma.Products made from human plasma may contain infectiousagents, such as viruses, and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) agent that can cause disease. The riskthat such products will transmit an infectious agent has beenreduced by screening plasma donors for prior exposure tocertain viruses, by testing for the presence of certain currentvirus infections, and by inactivating and/or removing certainviruses. Despite these measures, such products can stillpotentially transmit disease. There is also the possibility thatunknown infectious agents may be present in such products.Individuals who receive infusions of blood or plasma productsmay develop signs and/or symptoms of some viral infections,particularly hepatitis C. ALL infections thought by a physicianpossibly to have been transmitted by this product should bereported by the physician or other healthcare provider toGrifols Therapeutics Inc. [1-800-520-2807].The physician should discuss the risks and benefits of thisproduct with the patient, before prescribing or administering itto the patient.NEVER ADMINISTER HYPERRHO S/D FULL DOSEINTRAVENOUSLY. INJECT ONLY INTRAMUSCULARLY. NEVERADMINISTER TO THE NEONATE.Rho(D) Immune Globulin (Human) should be given with caution topatients with a history of prior systemic allergic reactions followingthe administration of human immunoglobulin preparations.The attending physician who wishes to administer Rho(D)Immune Globulin (Human) to persons with isolated immuno -globulin A (IgA) deficiency must weigh the benefits of immuni -zation against the potential risks of hypersensitivity reactions.Such persons have increased potential for developing antibodiesto IgA and could have anaphylactic reactions to subsequentadministration of blood products that contain IgA.As with all preparations administered by the intramuscular route,bleeding complications may be encountered in patients withthrombocytopenia or other bleeding disorders.PRECAUTIONSGeneralA large fetomaternal hemorrhage late in pregnancy or followingdelivery may cause a weak mixed field positive D u test result. Ifthere is any doubt about the mother’s Rh type, she should begiven Rho(D) Immune Globulin (Human). A screening test todetect fetal red blood cells may be helpful in such cases.If more than 15 mL of D-positive fetal red blood cells are presentin the mother’s circulation, more than a single dose ofHyperRHO S/D Full Dose is required. Failure to recognize thismay result in the administration of an inadequate dose.Although systemic reactions to human immunoglobulinpreparations are rare, epinephrine should be available fortreatment of acute anaphylactic reactions.Drug InteractionsOther antibodies in the Rho(D) Immune Globulin (Human)preparation may interfere with the response to live vaccines suchas measles, mumps, polio or rubella. Therefore, immunizationwith live vaccines should not be given within 3 months afterRho(D) Immune Globulin (Human) administration.Drug/Laboratory InteractionsBabies born of women given Rho(D) Immune Globulin (Human)ante partum may have a weakly positive direct antiglobulin test atbirth.Passively acquired anti-Rho(D) may be detected in maternalserum if antibody screening tests are performed subsequent toantepartum or postpartum administration of Rho(D) ImmuneGlobulin (Human).Pregnancy Category CAnimal reproduction studies have not been conducted withHyperRHO S/D Full Dose. It is also not known whetherHyperRHO S/D Full Dose can cause fetal harm whenadministered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductioncapacity. HyperRHO S/D Full Dose should be given to a pregnantwoman only if clearly needed.Pediatric UseSafety and effectiveness in the pediatric population have not beenestablished.ADVERSE REACTIONSReactions to Rho(D) Immune Globulin (Human) are infrequent inRho(D) negative individuals and consist primarily of slightsoreness at the site of injection and slight temperature elevation.While sensitization to repeated injections of human immuneglobulin is extremely rare, it has occurred. Elevated bilirubin levelshave been reported in some individuals receiving multiple dosesof Rho(D) Immune Globulin (Human) following mismatchedtransfusions. This is believed to be due to a relatively rapid rate offoreign red cell destruction.Grifols Therapeutics Inc.Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 USAU.S. License No. 187108941119-BS
