Administration and Monitoring
Administration
The recommended dosage of RYZNEUTA is a single subcutaneous injection of 20 mg administered once per chemotherapy cycle at least 24 hours after cytotoxic chemotherapy. Do not administer RYZNEUTA within 14 days before and <24 hours after administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy.
- Administration:
RYZNEUTA is administered subcutaneously via a single-dose prefilled syringe by a healthcare professional. Prior to use, remove the carton from the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the product to reach room temperature. Discard any product left at room temperature for greater than 48 hours. Inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not administer RYZNEUTA if discoloration or particulates are observed. Caution: This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions. The needle cap on the prefilled syringe contains natural rubber; people with latex allergies should not administer this product. The RYZNEUTA prefilled syringe does not bear graduation marks and is intended only to deliver the entire contents of the syringe (20 mg/mL) for direct administration to adult patients. Administer injection by pinching the skin and holding. Inject into the abdomen, the back or side of the upper arms, or the thighs. Rotate injection sites. Do not inject into scar tissue or areas that are reddened, inflamed, or swollen. If injecting into the abdomen, avoid a 2-inch diameter circle around the navel. Once the entire dose has been injected, the needle safety device will be triggered, pulling the needle automatically from the skin, and into the barrel; the entire needle will be covered by the needle guard.
Monitoring
There is limited information regarding Ryzneuta Monitoring in the drug label.
IV Compatibility
There is limited information regarding the compatibility of Ryzneuta and IV administrations.
Overdosage
Overdosage of RYZNEUTA may lead to leukocytosis and bone pain. In case of overdose, administer general supportive measures as necessary. Monitor the patient for adverse reactions
Pharmacology
There is limited information regarding Ryzneuta Pharmacology in the drug label.
Mechanism of Action
Efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw is a colony-stimulating factor that acts on hematopoietic cells by binding to specific cell surface receptors, thereby stimulating proliferation, differentiation, commitment, and end-cell functional activation.
Structure
Efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw is a leukocyte growth factor, comprised of a 413 amino acid recombinant fusion protein. It consists of human G-CSF, a 16 amino-acid linker, and the Fc portion of human IgG2. In solution, efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw forms covalently-linked dimers due to disulfide bonds between Fc moieties, resembling an immunoglobulin-like structure. The dimer is a water-soluble, glycosylated protein with a molecular weight of approximately 93.4 kilodaltons (kDa), with 89.5 kDa attributed to amino acids and the rest from glycosylation. Efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw is derived from a genetically-engineered strain of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells grown in a serum-free medium. RYZNEUTA (Efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw) Injection:
Supplied in 1 mL prefilled single-dose syringes for manual subcutaneous injection. The prefilled syringe does not have graduation marks and is intended to deliver the entire contents (20 mg/mL). Each syringe contains 20 mg efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw in a sterile, clear, colorless, preservative-free solution with pH 5.2. The solution contains acetate (0.6 mg), EDTA (0.29 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.1 mg), sodium (0.23 mg), and sorbitol (50 mg) in Water for Injection, USP.
Pharmacodynamics
Over the tested dose range of 30 to 360 μg/kg in healthy adult males, neutrophils generally increased in a dose-dependent manner; however, the effect on neutrophils plateaued at the top two doses of 240 and 360 μg/kg
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption The median tmax of efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw administered as 80 to 320 μg/kg in female patients with breast cancer receiving EC chemotherapy ranged from 24 hours to 48 hours in Cycle 1 and 9 to 30 hours in Cycle 3. The median tmax of efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw administered as 240 to 320 μg/kg in female participants with breast cancer receiving TAC chemotherapy was 36 hours in Cycle 1 and ranged from 24 to 30 hours in Cycle 3
Nonclinical Toxicology
Efbemalenograstim alfa did not affect reproductive performance or fertility in male or female rats at cumulative weekly doses approximately 2.2 times higher than the recommended human dose (based on body surface area
Clinical Studies
Study GC-627-04 (NCT02872103): Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with metastatic or non-metastatic breast cancer. Chemotherapy regimen: Doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 and docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 21 days for up to 4 cycles. 122 patients received RYZNEUTA (20 mg) or placebo on day 2 of chemotherapy cycle 1. All received RYZNEUTA on day 2 of cycles 2 – 4. Efficacy: Mean duration of severe neutropenia in cycle 1 was significantly lower for RYZNEUTA-treated patients compared to placebo (1.4 days vs. 4.3 days, p<0.001). Incidence of febrile neutropenia was lower in RYZNEUTA-treated patients compared to placebo in cycle 1 (4.8% vs. 25.6%, p=0.0016). Study GC-627-05 (NCT03252431):
Randomized, active-controlled study in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer. Chemotherapy regimen: Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 every 21 days for up to 4 cycles. 393 patients received RYZNEUTA (20 mg) or pegfilgrastim (6 mg) on day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle. No significant difference observed in mean days of severe neutropenia between RYZNEUTA and pegfilgrastim arms in cycle 1 (0.2 days in both arms).
How Supplied
RYZNEUTA (efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw) injection is a clear, colorless, preservative-free solution supplied in a prefilled single-dose syringe with a 27-gauge, 1/2-inch needle and an UltraSafe Passive™ Needle Guard, containing 20 mg of efbemalenograstim alfa-vuxw.
