  • Avoid use of live vaccines in patients during treatment with NEMLUVIO.
  • It is unknown if administration of live vaccines during NEMLUVIO treatment will impact the safety or effectiveness of these vaccines.
  • No data are available on the response to non-live vaccines.

Adverse Reactions

Clinical Trials Experience

  • Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
  • A total of 508 adult subjects with prurigo nodularis were treated with NEMLUVIO in two placebo-controlled trials and an open label long-term extension trial. Of these, 375 subjects were exposed for at least 1 year in the development program for prurigo nodularis.
  • Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials (OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2) evaluated the safety of NEMLUVIO in adult subjects with prurigo nodularis. Subjects were treated for up to 24 weeks in OLYMPIA 1 and up to 16 weeks in OLYMPIA 2. In these 2 trials, 370 subjects were treated with subcutaneous injections of NEMLUVIO, and 186 subjects received placebo injections.
  • Subjects weighing less than 90 kg in the NEMLUVIO group received NEMLUVIO 60 mg or placebo at Week 0, followed by 30 mg injections every 4 weeks. Subjects weighing 90 kg or more in the NEMLUVIO group received NEMLUVIO 60 mg or placebo at Week 0 and every 4 weeks.
  • During the treatment period in NEMLUVIO trials (OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2), the proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment because of adverse reactions was 4% in NEMLUVIO group versus 3% in the placebo group. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% in the NEMLUVIO group, and for which the rate exceeds the rate in the placebo group through Week 16.

Specific Adverse Reactions

  • Hypersensitivity reactions

Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions (Ig-E mediated reactions), including one report of discrete facial (peri-ocular) angioedema, were reported in subjects treated with NEMLUVIO

Postmarketing Experience

There is limited information regarding Nemolizumab-ilto Postmarketing Experience in the drug label.

Drug Interactions

Cytochrome P450 Substrates

  • The formation of CYP450 enzymes can be altered by increased levels of certain cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNFα, IFN) during chronic inflammation. Treatment with NEMLUVIO may modulate serum levels of some cytokines and influence the formation of CYP450 enzymes.
  • Therefore, upon initiation or discontinuation of NEMLUVIO in patients who are receiving concomitant drugs which are CYP450 substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index, consider monitoring for effect (e.g., for warfarin) or drug concentration (e.g., for cyclosporine) and consider dosage modification of the CYP450 substrate.

Use in Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category (FDA):

Risk Summary

  • Available data on NEMLUVIO use in pregnant women exposed during clinical trials are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
  • Transport of human IgG antibody across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses and peaks during the third trimester; therefore, NEMLUVIO may be transferred from the mother to the developing fetus.
  • In an enhanced pre- and postnatal development study in cynomolgus monkeys, when nemolizumab-ilto was administered subcutaneously during organogenesis to parturition, an increase in early postnatal death was observed at a dose 36 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) (see Data). The clinical significance of this nonclinical finding is unknown.
  • The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown.
  • All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations

  • Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions.
    • Because nemolizumab-ilto may interfere with immune response to infections, risks and benefits should be considered prior to administering live vaccines to infants exposed to NEMLUVIO in utero.
    • There are no data regarding infant serum levels of nemolizumab-ilto at birth and the duration of persistence of nemolizumab-ilto in infant serum after birth. Although a specific timeframe to delay live virus immunizations in infants exposed in utero is unknown, a minimum of 3 months after birth should be considered because of the half-life of the product.

Data

  • Animal Data.
    • In an enhanced pre- and postnatal development study, subcutaneous doses up to 25 mg/kg of nemolizumab-ilto were administered to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys once every two weeks during organogenesis to parturition.
    • No maternal or embryofetal toxicities were observed at doses up to 25 mg/kg (36 times the MRHD, based on AUC comparison). Early postnatal death occurred in the offspring of one control monkey and 3 monkeys at 25 mg/kg (36 times the MRHD, based on AUC comparison).
    • The clinical significance of this nonclinical finding is unknown. Nemolizumab-ilto was administered subcutaneously to the offspring at doses up to 25 mg/kg (122 times the MRHD, based on AUC comparison), once every 2 weeks for 6 months, starting from postnatal day 35. No adverse effects were noted in the remaining offspring.


Pregnancy Category (AUS): There is no Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC) guidance on usage of Nemolizumab-ilto in women who are pregnant.

Labor and Delivery

There is no FDA guidance on use of Nemolizumab-ilto during labor and delivery.

Nursing Mothers

Risk Summary

  • There are no data on the presence of nemolizumab-ilto in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production.
  • Nemolizumab-ilto was detected in breast milk of monkeys (see Data).
  • Endogenous maternal IgG and monoclonal antibodies are transferred in human milk.
  • The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to nemolizumab-ilto are unknown.
  • The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for NEMLUVIO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from NEMLUVIO or from the underlying maternal condition.

Data

  • Nemolizumab-ilto was detected in breast milk of monkeys in the enhanced pre- and postnatal development study following subcutaneous doses up to 25 mg/kg once every two weeks during organogenesis to parturition.
  • The mean nemolizumab-ilto concentrations in milk were approximately 0.3 – 0.5% of the maternal plasma levels from lactation day 7 to 63.
  • The concentration of nemolizumab-ilto in animal milk does not necessarily predict the concentration of drug in human milk.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of NEMLUVIO have not been established in pediatric patients.

Geriatic Use

  • Of the 370 subjects with prurigo nodularis exposed to NEMLUVIO in OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2, 99 (26.8%) subjects were 65 years of age or older.
  • The long-term safety of NEMLUVIO was assessed in 508 subjects, among which 133 (26.2%) were 65 years of age or older. *Clinical trials of NEMLUVIO did not include sufficient number of subjects 65 years of age or older to determine whether they respond differently than younger adult subjects

Important Administration Instructions

  • NEMLUVIO is administered by subcutaneous injection.
  • NEMLUVIO is intended for use under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Prior to the first injection, provide patients and/or caregivers with proper training on the preparation and administration of NEMLUVIO. Patients may self-inject NEMLUVIO after receiving training on subcutaneous injection techniques.
  • For the initial dose, administer each of the two NEMLUVIO injections at different injection sites.
  • Administer subcutaneous injection into the front upper thighs or abdomen except for the 2 inches (5 cm) around the navel. Injection in upper arm should only be performed by a caregiver or healthcare professional.
  • Alternate the injection site with each injection. Do not inject NEMLUVIO into skin that is tender, inflamed, swollen, damaged or has bruises or scars or open wounds.
  • Refer to the Instructions for Use for complete administration instructions with illustrations.

Preparation for Use of NEMLUVIO

  • Before injection, remove NEMLUVIO carton from the refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature (30-45 minutes).
  • Inspect NEMLUVIO visually prior to reconstitution. NEMLUVIO is supplied in a single-dose pre-filled dual-chamber pen with white powder in one chamber and a clear diluent in the other chamber. Do not use if powder is not white, or if diluent is cloudy or contains visible particles.
  • NEMLUVIO must be reconstituted prior to administration.
  • Following reconstitution, each pre-filled pen delivers 30 mg/0.49 mL as a clear and colorless to slightly yellow solution. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use if the reconstituted solution has discoloration or contains particles.
  • Use NEMLUVIO pens within 4 hours after reconstitution. Discard unused reconstituted NEMOLUVIO pens after 4 hours.
  • Discard any unused portions after administration
  • Refer to the Instructions for Use for complete preparation instructions with illustrations.

Monitoring

  • Therefore, upon initiation or discontinuation of NEMLUVIO in patients who are receiving concomitant drugs which are CYP450 substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index, consider monitoring for effect (e.g., for warfarin) or drug concentration (e.g., for cyclosporine) and consider dosage modification of the CYP450 substrate.
  • There is no specific treatment for NEMLUVIO overdose. In the event of overdosage, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) for the latest recommendations and monitor the patient for any signs or symptoms of adverse reactions and institute appropriate symptomatic treatment immediately.

Pharmacology

There is limited information regarding Nemolizumab-ilto Pharmacology in the drug label.

Mechanism of Action

Nemolizumab-ilto is a humanized IgG2 monoclonal antibody that inhibits IL-31 signaling by binding selectively to IL-31 RA. IL-31 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in pruritus, inflammation, epidermal dysregulation, and fibrosis. Nemolizumab-ilto inhibited IL-31-induced responses including the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

Structure

Nemolizumab-ilto, an interleukin-31 receptor alpha ( IL-31RA ) antagonist, is a humanized monoclonal modified immunoglobulin G ( IgG ) antibody with a molecular weight of approximately 144 kDa. Nemolizumab-ilto is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. NEMLUVIO ( nemolizumab-ilto ) for injection is a sterile, preservative-free, white lyophilized powder in a dual-chamber single-dose, pre-filled pen. One chamber contains 30 mg of nemolizumab-ilto with inactive ingredients arginine hydrochloride ( 9.5 mg ) , poloxamer 188 ( 0.15 mg ) , sucrose ( 25.8 mg ) , trometamol ( 0.10 mg ) , and tris hydrochloride for pH adjustment. The diluent, water for injection, is in the other chamber. Following reconstitution, each pre-filled pen delivers 30 mg/0.49 mL of nemolizumab-ilto with a pH of 6.7 to 7.3.

Pharmacodynamics

There is limited information regarding Nemolizumab-ilto Pharmacodynamics in the drug label.

Pharmacokinetics

After a single dose, nemolizumab-ilto exposure increased dose proportionally over a dose range of 0.03 and 3 mg/kg following subcutaneous administration. After multiple doses, nemolizumab-ilto systemic exposure increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner across the subcutaneous dose range up to 30 mg. There was a decrease in bioavailability by 9% with the 60 mg subcutaneous dose and by 15% with the 90 mg subcutaneous dose.

Following multiple doses of NEMLUVIO in subjects with prurigo nodularis, the estimated mean (SD) steady-state trough concentrations of nemolizumab-ilto were 3.04 (1.23) µg/mL in subjects with bodyweight less than 90 kg; and 3.66 (1.63) µg/mL in subjects with bodyweight of 90 kg or more. Steady state nemolizumab-ilto concentrations were achieved by week 4 in subjects weighting less than 90 kg and by week 12 in subjects weighing 90 kg or more.

Absorption

  • Following an initial subcutaneous dose of 60 mg, nemolizumab-ilto reached peak mean (SD) concentrations (Cmax) of 7.5 (2.31) µg/mL by approximately 6 days post dose.

Distribution

  • The volume of distribution of nemolizumab-ilto was estimated to be 7.67 L.

Elimination

  • Nemolizumab-ilto is expected to be degraded in the same manner as endogenous IgG. The terminal elimination half-life (SD) of nemolizumab-ilto was estimated to be 18.9 (4.96) days and systemic clearance was estimated to be 0.263 L/day.
  • Metabolism

The metabolic pathway of nemolizumab-ilto has not been characterized. Nemolizumab-ilto is expected to be degraded into small peptides by catabolic pathways.

Specific Populations

  • Geriatric Populations.
    • No clinically significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of nemolizumab-ilto was estimated based on age (subjects 18 to 65 years of age and older than 65 years of age). Dose adjustment in this population is not needed.
  • Renal or Hepatic Impairment.
    • No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of nemolizumab-ilto were estimated based on mild to moderate renal or hepatic impairments. The effect of severe renal and severe hepatic impairments on the pharmacokinetics of nemolizumab-ilto is unknown.
  • Body Weight.
    • The exposure of nemolizumab-ilto decreases with increasing body weight. After a 30-mg dose every 4 weeks, the steady state mean exposure parameters (AUCss, Cmaxss and Ctrough) of subjects with bodyweight of above 87 kg is expected to be 1.7-fold lower than that of subjects weighing below 62 kg.
    • The variability in systemic exposure due to body weight had a clinically meaningful impact on skin lesion efficacy (IGA response) but not on pruritus improvement.

Drug Interaction Studies

  • Drug interactions with nemolizumab-ilto have not been assessed.

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

  • Animal studies have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential of NEMLUVIO.
  • No effects on fertility parameters as reproductive organ morphology, menstrual cycle length, or sperm/testicular analysis were observed in male or female sexually mature cynomolgus monkeys that were administered nemolizumab-ilto at subcutaneous doses up to 25 mg/kg once every two weeks for 6 months (53 times the MRHD, based on AUC comparison). The monkeys were not mated to evaluate fertility.

Clinical Studies

  • Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (OLYMPIA 1 [NCT04501666] and OLYMPIA 2 [NCT04501679]) enrolled a total of 560 adult subjects with prurigo nodularis (PN). Disease severity was defined using an Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) in the overall assessment of prurigo nodularis nodules on a severity scale of 0 to 4. Subjects enrolled in these two trials had an IGA score ≥ 3, severe pruritus as defined by a weekly average of the peak pruritus numeric rating scale (PP-NRS) score of ≥7 on a scale of 0 to 10, and greater than or equal to 20 nodular lesions. OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2 assessed the effect of NEMLUVIO on the signs and symptoms of PN, targeting improvement in skin lesions and pruritus over 16 weeks. In OLYMPIA 1, subjects were extended up to 24 weeks of treatment.

Subjects weighing less than 90 kg in the NEMLUVIO group received subcutaneous injections of NEMLUVIO 60 mg at Week 0, followed by 30 mg injections every 4 weeks. Subjects weighing 90 kg or more in the NEMLUVIO group received subcutaneous injections of NEMLUVIO 60 mg at Week 0 and every 4 weeks.

  • In these trials, at baseline, 60% of subjects were female, 81% were White, 9% were Asian, 7% were Black or African American; for ethnicity, 4% of subjects identified as Hispanic or Latino. Twenty five (25)% of subjects were older than 65 years of age. Thirty-two (32)% of subjects had a history of atopy. The baseline weekly average PP-NRS score was a mean of 8.5. Fifty-eight (58)% of subjects had a baseline IGA score of 3 (moderate PN), and 42% of subjects had a baseline IGA of 4 (severe PN).
  • The PP-NRS score is a weekly average of daily PP-NRS scores on an 11-point scale from 0-10 that assesses the maximal intensity of pruritus in the last 24 hours with 0 being no itch and 10 being worst itch imaginable. The IGA is a 5-category scale, including “0 = clear”, “1 = almost clear”, “2 = mild”, “3 = moderate” or “4 = severe” indicating the investigator’s overall assessment of the pruriginous nodules.
  • Efficacy was assessed with the proportion of subjects with an improvement of ≥4 from baseline in PP-NRS, the proportion of subjects with an IGA of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) and a ≥2-point improvement from baseline, the proportion of subjects who achieved a response in both PP-NRS and IGA per the criteria described above, and the proportion of subjects with PP-NRS <2.
  • The efficacy results for OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2 are presented in Table 2 and Figures 1, 2, and 3.
Efficacy Results at Week 16 in Adult Subjects with PN in OLYMPIA1 and OLYMPIA 2
Proportion of Adult Subjects with PN with PP-NRS Improvement ≥4 from Baseline Over Time in OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2a
Proportion of Adult Subjects with PN with PP-NRS <2 Over Time in OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2a
Proportion of Adult Subjects with PN with IGA Responsea Over Time in OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPA 2b

Examination of weight, age, gender, race, history of atopy, and prior treatment did not identify meaningful differences in response to NEMLUVIO among these subgroups at Week 16.
