生产厂家:AMAG/Takeda 药品介绍 Rienso(Ferumoxytol)注射剂获批用于治疗慢性肾病缺铁性贫血 2012年11月6日,AMAG制药及合作伙伴武田(Takeda)缺铁性贫血药物ferumoxytol 在欧洲推出,该药将以商品名Rienso销售,在美国则以商品名Feraheme销售。 Rienso在欧洲的上市,触发了来自武田的1500万美元里程碑款项,同时也将获得该药在许可地区销售额达2位数的特许权使用费。 AMAG CEO William Heiden在声明中称:“Rienso在欧洲的推出,意味着现在患者可以受益于该药的治疗。我们很幸运能有武田这样坚定的合作伙伴,在美国以外的许多地区推出Ferumoxytol。” Rienso于今年6月获欧盟批准,用于治疗慢性肾脏疾病患者的缺铁性贫血,而Feraheme早在2009年就获得了FDA的批准,用于同样的适应症。此外,该药还获得了加拿大的批准。 由于狭窄的适应症,该药的销售一直进展缓慢,AMAG公司希望该药最终能获得批准用于更广泛的贫血患者。 ferumoxytol (Rienso®) 30 mg/ml solution for injection Company: Takeda UK Ltd BNF category: Nutrition and blood NMG meeting date: 10/04/2013 AWMSG meeting date: 08/05/2013 Submission Type: Full Submission Status: Recommended with restrictions Advice No: 0913 Ministerial ratification: 29/07/2013 --------------------------------------------- 1. Name of the medicinal product Rienso 30 mg/ml solution for infusion. 2. Qualitative and quantitative composition 1 ml of solution contains 30 mg of iron as ferumoxytol. Each vial of 17 ml solution contains 510 mg of iron as ferumoxytol. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. Pharmaceutical form Solution for infusion. Black to reddish brown solution Osmolality: 270-330 mosm/kg pH: 6.5 to 8.0 4. Clinical particulars 4.1 Therapeutic indications Rienso is indicated for the intravenous treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The diagnosis of iron deficiency must be based on appropriate laboratory tests (see section 4.2). 4.2 Posology and method of administration Rienso should only be administered when staff trained to evaluate and manage anaphylactic reactions is immediately available, in an environment where full resuscitation facilities can be assured. Patients should be carefully monitored for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions including monitoring of blood pressure and pulse during and for at least 30 minutes following each infusion of Rienso. In addition, patients should be placed in a reclining or semi-reclining position during infusion and for at least 30 minutes thereafter (see section 4.4). Posology Treatment Course The recommended course of Rienso is based on the patient's pre-treatment haemoglobin and body weight as provided in Table 1. Each 510 mg dose is administered as an intravenous infusion for at least 15 minutes. For patients receiving two doses, the second 510 mg infusion is to be administered 2 to 8 days later as per Table 1. Table 1: Recommended Dosing Table for Rienso Administration The maximum dose is 1020 mg (2 vials) and the two doses of Rienso must not be administered at the same time. Rienso should not be given to patients if their haemoglobin is greater than 12 g/dl, serum Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) is greater than 50% or Ferritin is greater than 800 ng/ml (see section 4.4). Patients should be re-assessed at least one month after the completion of a course of Rienso and this should include laboratory testing of haematologic and blood iron parameters. Re-treatment To maintain the target haemoglobin value, re-treatment with Rienso may be given after the patient has been re-assessed and confirmed to be iron deficient. For maintenance therapy and patient monitoring, the recommendations of current guidelines (e.g. Revised European Best Practice Guidelines) should be followed. Paediatric population The safety and efficacy of Rienso in children and adolescents below the age of 18 years has not been established. No data are available. Therefore Rienso should not be administered to children and adolescents below the age of 18 years (see section 5.1). Special population – patients receiving haemodialysis For patients receiving haemodialysis, Rienso should be administered once the blood pressure is stable and the patient has completed at least one hour of haemodialysis. Hepatic Impairment Rienso has not been specifically studied in patients with hepatic impairment; clinical experience is limited to 8 patients. In patients with liver dysfunction, parenteral iron should only be administered after careful risk/benefit assessment. No change in dosage is recommended from Table 1. Method of administration Intravenous use by infusion. Rienso should be administered as an infusion in 50-250 ml of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride or sterile 5% glucose for at least 15 minutes (see sections 6.3 and 6.6). 4.3 Contraindications The use of Rienso is contraindicated in cases of: • Hypersensitivity to the active substance, to Rienso or any of its excipients listed in section 6.1 • Patients with any known history of drug allergy including hypersensitivity to other parenteral iron products • Evidence of iron overload • Anaemia not caused by iron deficiency 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use Hypersensitivity Reactions Parenterally administered iron preparations can cause hypersensitivity reactions including serious and potentially fatal anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions have also been reported after previously uneventful doses of parenteral iron complexes. The risk is enhanced for patients with known allergies including drug allergies, including patients with a history of severe asthma, eczema or other atopic allergy (see section 4.3). There is also an increased risk of hypersensitivity reactions to parenteral iron complexes in patients with immune or inflammatory conditions (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis). Rienso should only be administered when staff trained to evaluate and manage anaphylactic reactions is immediately available, in an environment where full resuscitation facilities can be assured. Patients should be carefully monitored for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions including monitoring of blood pressure and pulse during and for at least 30 minutes following each infusion of Rienso. In addition, patients should be placed in a reclining or semi-reclining position during infusion and for at least 30 minutes thereafter. If hypersensitivity reactions or signs of intolerance occur during administration, the treatment must be stopped immediately. Facilities for cardio respiratory resuscitation and equipment for handling acute anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions should be available, including an injectable 1:1000 adrenaline solution. Additional treatment with antihistamines and/or corticosteroids should be given as appropriate. Fatal and life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions have been observed with Rienso in the post marketing setting. Clinical presentation has included anaphylactic type reactions presenting with cardiac arrest/ cardiorespiratory arrest, clinically significant hypotension, syncope, and unresponsiveness (see section 4.8). Hypotension Severe adverse reactions of clinically significant hypotension have been reported. Hypotension may follow Rienso administration with or without accompanying signs of hypersensitivity (see section 4.8). Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of hypotension following each Rienso administration. Iron Overload Rienso should not be administered to patients with iron overload. Rienso must not be given to patients if their haemoglobin is greater than 12 g/dl, serum Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) is greater than 50% or ferritin is greater than 800 ng/ml (see section 4.2). Immunologic Disease or Infection Parenteral iron should be used with caution in cases of immunologic disease or acute or chronic infection. It is not recommended to administer Rienso to patients with ongoing bacteraemia. Re-treatment / Long term use Limited clinical study data is available regarding re-treatment with Rienso and no clinical study data is available for repeated long term use. For information on post-marketing experience see section 5.1. Ethanol and sodium content This medicinal product contains small amounts of ethanol (alcohol), less than 100 mg per 17 ml vial. This medicinal product contains less than 23 mg sodium per 17 ml vial, i.e., is essentially “sodium free”. Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging Administration of Rienso may transiently affect the diagnostic ability of MR imaging. Anticipated MR imaging studies should be conducted prior to the administration of Rienso. The effect on vascular MR imaging lasts approximately 1-2 days while tissue diagnostic imaging may be affected for up to 2-3 months. MR images are interpretable earlier by readers aware of the recent administration of Rienso or by the use of T1- or proton density-weighted MR pulse sequences. Rienso will not interfere with X-ray, computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), ultrasound or nuclear medicine imaging. Interference with Serological Testing In the 24 hours following administration of Rienso, laboratory assays may overestimate serum iron and transferrin bound iron by also measuring the iron in the Rienso complex. 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction No drug-drug interaction studies have been performed. As with all parenteral iron preparations the absorption of oral iron is reduced when administered concomitantly. 4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation Women of childbearing potential and pregnancy There are no adequate and well-controlled trials of Rienso in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). A careful risk/benefit evaluation is therefore required before use during pregnancy and Rienso should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary (see section 4.4). Iron deficiency anaemia occurring in the first trimester of pregnancy can in many cases be treated with oral iron. Treatment with Rienso should be confined to second and third trimester if the benefit is judged to outweigh the potential risk for both the mother and the foetus. Rienso is not recommended in women of childbearing potential not using adequate contraception. Breastfeeding It is unknown whether Rienso is excreted in human milk. Available pharmacokinetic data in animals have shown excretion of Rienso in milk (see section 5.3). A risk to breastfeeding newborns/infants cannot be excluded. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue Rienso therapy, taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of the therapy for the mother. Fertility No adverse effects on fertility or general reproductive performance were noted in adult rats (see Section 5.3). In a prenatal and postnatal developmental study in rats adverse effects on sexual maturation and on the ability to produce a litter were noted in the F1-generation (see section 5.3). 4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines Rienso may have a minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines. In the case of symptoms of dizziness, confusion or light headedness following the administration of Rienso, patients should not drive or use machinery until the symptoms have ceased. No studies regarding effects on the ability to drive or operate machines have been performed. 4.8 Undesirable effects Summary of the safety profile In clinical trials involving 1562 subjects with CKD, adverse reactions were seen in 7.9% of patients who received Rienso, of which 0.2% were considered serious. The most frequently reported adverse reactions were gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhoea, constipation, nausea and vomiting), headache, dizziness and hypotension, all occurring in less than 2.5% of patients. Serious hypersensitivity or hypotensive reactions are uncommon (less than 1 case per 100 patients) and were reported in 0.2% (3/1562) of subjects with CKD who received Rienso during the clinical studies. One of these three cases was also characterized as an anaphylactoid reaction. Tabulated list of adverse reactions Table 2 presents all adverse experiences observed during the clinical studies in which 1562 subjects with CKD received two injections of 510 mg of Rienso separated by an interval of 2 to 8 days and post-marketing experience. Table 2: Adverse reactions observed during clinical studies and post-marketing experience Description of selected adverse reactions In clinical trials, adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation and occurring in ≥ 2 Rienso-treated patients included hypotension, infusion site swelling, increased serum ferritin levels, chest pain, diarrhoea, dizziness, ecchymosis, pruritis, chronic renal failure and urticaria. *Fatal and life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions have been observed with Rienso in the post marketing setting (see sections 4.3 and 4.4). Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions is an important way to gather more information to continuously monitor the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard. 4.9 Overdose No data from clinical trials are available regarding overdose of Rienso in humans. During the post-marketing phase, several patients received an overdose of Rienso ranging from 1 g in 1 day to 2.5 g over 21 days. Only one case of minor rash was observed. Excessive administration of Rienso may lead to accumulation of iron in storage sites potentially leading to haemosiderosis. Periodic monitoring of laboratory parameters of iron storage, such as serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, enables recognition of iron accumulation. However, caution should be exercised in interpreting serum iron levels in the 24 hours following administration of Rienso as laboratory assays may overestimate serum iron and transferrin bound iron by also measuring the iron in Rienso. Please see the iron overload section 4.4 and for dosing guidance, see section 4.2. Overdose should be treated, if required, with an iron chelating agent. 5. Pharmacological properties 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties Pharmacotherapeutic group: Not yet assigned, ATC code: Not yet assigned Mechanism of Action Rienso is a colloidal iron-carbohydrate complex. It includes iron oxide particles with an iron oxide core surrounded by a polyglucose sorbitol-carboxymethylether shell. The shell isolates the bioactive iron from plasma components until the iron-carbohydrate complex enter reticuloendothelial system macrophages of the liver, spleen and bone marrow. The iron is then released intracellularly from the iron-carbohydrate complex within vesicles in macrophages. Iron then either enters the intracellular storage iron pool (e.g., ferritin) or is transferred to plasma transferrin for transport to erythroid precursor cells for incorporation into haemoglobin. Clinical Efficacy and Safety The safety and efficacy of Rienso (cumulative dose of 1.02 grams) for the treatment of iron deficiency in CKD patients with IDA were assessed in three randomized, open-label, controlled clinical studies (Studies 1, 2 and 3). The principal efficacy results at Day 35 from the controlled phase of each study are shown in Table 3. This includes the Baseline and mean change to Day 35 in haemoglobin (Hgb, g/dl), transferrin saturation (TSAT, %) and ferritin (ng/ml) as well as the proportion of subjects who were Hgb Responders at Day 35 (defined as proportion of subjects with an increase in Hgb of at least 1.0 g/dl) in each treatment group for Studies 1, 2, and 3. Table 3: Summary of Efficacy Endpoints at Day 35 (Intent to Treat Population) * p≤0.001 for main efficacy endpoint Hgb = haemoglobin; TSAT = transferrin saturation; SD = standard deviation In all three studies, patients with CKD and iron deficiency anaemia were randomized to treatment with Rienso or oral iron. Rienso was administered as two 510 mg intravenous injections (separated by 2 to 8 days) and oral iron (ferrous fumarate) was administered at a total daily dose of 200 mg elemental iron for 21 days. The major study outcomes assessed the change in haemoglobin from Baseline to Day 35. Studies 1 and 2 enrolled patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD and Study 3 enrolled patients who were undergoing haemodialysis. In Study 1, the mean age of patients was 66 years (range, 23 to 95); 60% were female; 65% were Caucasian, 32% were Black, and 2% were other races. In the Rienso and oral iron groups, 42% and 44% of patients, respectively, were receiving erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) at Baseline. In Study 2, the mean age of patients was 65 years (range, 31 to 96); 61% were female; 58% were Caucasian, 35% were Black, and 7% were other races. In the Rienso and oral iron groups, 36% and 43% of patients, respectively, were receiving ESAs at Baseline. In Study 3, the mean age of patients was 60 years (range, 24 to 87); 43% were female; 34% were Caucasian, 59% were Black, and 7% were other races. All patients were receiving ESAs at Baseline. Following completion of the controlled phase of each of the Phase 3 trials, patients who were iron deficient and anaemic could be optionally retreated and receive two additional 510 mg intravenous injections of Rienso for a total cumulative dose of 2.04 g. Overall, 69 patients received a total cumulative dose of 2.04 g. Adverse reactions following this repeat Rienso dosing were similar in character and frequency to those observed following the first two intravenous injections. In a placebo-controlled, cross-over trial, 713 patients with CKD received a single 510 mg dose of Rienso and placebo. Adverse reactions reported in these patients were similar in character and frequency to those observed in the other clinical trials. Post-Marketing Data from Dialysis Clinics in the United States Retrospective observational data from three large haemodialysis clinics in the US over a 1 year period included the treatment of over 8,600 patients with more than 33,300 administered doses of Rienso; nearly 50% of patients received repeat dosing with 4 or more doses. Mean haemoglobin increased (0.5-0.9 g/dl) post-treatment and stabilised in the range of 11-11.7 g/dl over the 10 month post-dose period; no new safety signals were identified with repeat dosing. Paediatric Population The European Medicines Agency has deferred the obligation to submit the results of studies with Rienso in one or more subsets of the paediatric population in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use). 5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties The pharmacokinetic (PK) behaviour of Rienso has been examined in healthy subjects and in patients with CKD stage 5D on haemodialysis. Rienso exhibited dose-dependent, capacity-limited elimination from plasma with a half life of approximately 16 hours in humans. The clearance (CL) was decreased with increased doses of Rienso. Volume of distribution (Vd) was consistent with plasma volume, and the mean maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) and terminal half-life (t1/2) values increased with dose. The estimated values of CL and Vd following two 510 mg doses of Rienso administered intravenously within 24 hours were 69.1 ml/hr and 3.3 l, respectively. The Cmax and time of maximum concentration (tmax) were 206 mcg/ml and 0.32 hr, respectively. Rate of infusion had no influence on Rienso PK parameters. No gender differences in Rienso PK parameters were observed. Rienso is not removed by haemodialysis. 5.3 Preclinical safety data Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safety pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, local tolerance and immunotoxicity. In a 4 week repeated dose toxicity study in rats after a recovery of 26 weeks hepatic changes (focal or multifocal haemorrhage, hemorrhagic necrosis, chronic inflammation, and/or bile duct hyperplasia) were seen in the female animals (the cumulative HED of the dose groups compares to a safety multiple of 5.1 and 10.5 to the cumulative human therapeutic dose (2 x 510 mg Fe) in a 60 kg human). Such effects were not seen in the male animals of that study or in the 13 weeks repeated dose toxicity study in rats (without recovery). As seen from clinical data there is no evidence that these effects seen in female rats are relevant for humans. No carcinogenicity studies were performed with Rienso. No adverse effects on fertility or general reproductive performance were noted in rats given IV Rienso at doses up to 18 mg Fe/kg/day (Human Equivalent Dose of 2.9 mg Fe/kg/day). Administration of Rienso during organogenesis in rats at maternally toxic doses of 100 mg Fe/kg/day caused a decrease in foetal weights. In rabbits administration of Rienso during organogenesis induced decreased foetal weights and external and/or soft tissue malformations (malrotated or flexed fore- and malrotated hindlimbs, internal hydrocephaly, absent brains, cleft palate and microglossia) at the high dose of 45.3 mg Fe/kg/day (HED of 14.6 mg Fe/kg/day), a dose which induced only minimal maternal toxicity. In a pre-natal and post-natal development study in rats sexual maturation was delayed in male pups in the high dose of 60 mg Fe/kg/day (HED of 9.7 mg Fe/kg/day). In female pups of the mid and high dose groups of 30 mg Fe/kg/day and 60 mg Fe/kg/day respectively (HED of 4.8 mg Fe/kg/day and 9.7 mg Fe/kg/day, respectively) sexual maturation was delayed and a disruption of the oestrus cycle was noted in some females. The ability to produce a litter (reproductive competence) was reduced in high dose males and in mid and high dose females, irrespective of whether F1 males were mated with F1 females or F1 males were mated with naive females and vice versa. In a lactation study in rats, there was minimal excretion of Rienso or Rienso-derived radioactivity into milk following single IV administration of approximately 100 mg Fe/kg (HED of 16.1 mg Fe/kg, approximately 2 times the recommended 510 mg human dose on a mg/m2 basis) of either the unlabelled, 59Fe or 14C-labelled product to lactating rats 10-11 days post-parturition, which peaked at 8 to 24 hours post-administration. 6.
