单抗类抗炎药Kyntheum获欧盟批准,系欧洲首个和唯一一个靶向IL-17受体的银屑病药物
近日,阿斯利康(AstraZeneca)与合作伙伴利奥制药(Leo Pharma)宣布,单抗类抗炎药Kyntheum(brodalumab)已获欧盟委员会(EC)批准,作为一种新的生物制剂,用于适合系统治疗(全身治疗)的中度至重度斑块型银屑病成人患者。
在美国,brodalumab已于2017年2月获批以品牌名Siliq上市,此次批准使brodalumab成为继诺华Cosentyx(secukinumab)和礼来Taltz(ixekizumab)之后在美国市场获批的第3个针对IL-17信号通路的单克隆抗体。在日本,brodalumab已于2016年获日本药品和医疗器械管理局(JPMDA)批准。
brodalumab不同于现有的疗法,该药是首个也是唯一一个选择性靶向IL-17受体A(IL-17RA)的全人源化单克隆抗体。通过结合IL-17RA,brodalumab能够有效阻断多种促炎性IL-17细胞因子的生物学活性,抑制炎症信号通路。IL-17在诱导和促进炎症疾病的过程中发挥着关键作用。目前,brodalumab正开发用于斑块型银屑病和银屑病关节炎的治疗。
Kyntheum的获批,是基于3个AMAGINE III期关键性临床研究的数据。这些研究证明,brodalumab具有一种有效的作用机制,能够提供显著的临床受益,并可帮助相当数量的中度至重度斑块型银屑病患者实现皮肤清晰。在涉及2400例患者的2个对照研究(AMAGINE-2和AMAGINE-3)中,在治疗的第12周,210mg剂量brodalumab治疗组实现皮肤银屑斑块完全清除(银屑病皮损面积和严重度指数[PASI]实现100%改善,即PASI100缓解)的患者比例是强生重磅抗炎药Stelara(ustekinumab)治疗组的2倍。

Kyntheum is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Kyntheum is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis.
Posology
The recommended dose is 210 mg administered by subcutaneous injection at weeks 0, 1, and 2 followed by 210 mg every 2 weeks.
Consideration should be given to discontinuing treatment in patients who have shown no response after 12-16 weeks of treatment. Some patients with initial partial response may subsequently improve with continued treatment beyond 16 weeks.
Special populations
Elderly (aged 65 years and over)
No dose adjustment is recommended in elderly patients (see section 5.2).
Renal and hepatic impairment
Kyntheum has not been studied in these patient populations. No dose recommendations can be made.
Paediatric population
The safety and efficacy of Kyntheum in children and adolescents below the age of 18 years have not yet been established. No data are available.
Method of administration
Kyntheum is administered by subcutaneous injection. Each pre-filled syringe is for single use only. Kyntheum should not be injected into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, hard, thick, scaly, or affected by psoriasis. The pre-filled syringe must not be shaken.
After proper training in subcutaneous injection technique, patients may self-inject Kyntheum when deemed appropriate by a physician. Patients should be instructed to inject the full amount of Kyntheum according to the instructions provided in the package leaflet. Comprehensive instructions for administration are given in the package leaflet.
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
Active Crohn's disease.
Clinically important active infections (e.g. active tuberculosis, see section 4.4).
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Traceability
In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded.
Crohn's disease
There is limited data in patients with a history of Crohn's disease. Exercise caution when prescribing Kyntheum to patients with a history of Crohn's disease. Patients with a history of Crohn's disease should be followed for signs and symptoms of active Crohn's disease. If patients develop active Crohn's disease, treatment should be discontinued permanently.
Suicidal ideation and behaviour
Suicidal ideation and behaviour, including completed suicide, have been reported in patients treated with Kyntheum. The majority of patients with suicidal behaviour had a history of depression and/or suicidal ideation or behaviour. A causal association between treatment with Kyntheum and increased risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour has not been established.
The risk and benefit of treatment with Kyntheum should be carefully weighed for patients with a history of depression and/or suicidal ideation or behaviour, or for patients who develop such symptoms. Patients, caregivers, and families should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, or other mood changes, and they should contact their healthcare provider if such events occur. If a patient suffers from new or worsening symptoms of depression and/or suicidal ideation or behaviour is identified, it is recommended to discontinue treatment with Kyntheum.
Infections
Kyntheum may increase the risk of infections.
During the 12-week placebo-controlled clinical trial period in patients with psoriasis, serious infections were observed in 0.5% of patients receiving Kyntheum (see section 4.8).
Caution should be exercised when considering the use of Kyntheum in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Patients should be instructed to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms suggestive of an infection occur. If a patient develops a serious infection, the patient should be closely monitored and Kyntheum should not be administered until the infection resolves.
No cases of active tuberculosis were reported from clinical trials. However, Kyntheum should not be given to patients with active tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculosis therapy should be considered prior to initiation of Kyntheum in patients with latent tuberculosis.
Reduced absolute neutrophil count
During the 12-week placebo-controlled clinical trial period in patients with psoriasis, a decrease in absolute neutrophil count (ANC) was observed in 5.6% of patients receiving Kyntheum, which was generally transient and reversible. Grade 3 and 4 has been observed occasionally. None of the Grade 3 or 4 ANC decreases in the psoriasis patients were associated with a serious infection (see also section 4.8).
Vaccinations
It is recommended that patients be brought up-to-date with all immunisations in accordance with local immunisation guidelines prior to initiation of treatment with Kyntheum. Live vaccines should not be given concurrently with Kyntheum (see section 4.5). No data are available on the response to live vaccines or the risk of infection, or transmission of infection after the administration of live vaccines in patients receiving Kyntheum.
Vaccination of infants
Vaccination of infants with live vaccines following third trimester exposure to Kyntheum should be discussed with a physician (see also section 4.6).
Concomitant immunosuppressive therapy
The safety and efficacy of Kyntheum in combination with immunosuppressants, including biologics, or phototherapy have not been evaluated.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Live vaccines should not be given concurrently with Kyntheum (see section 4.4).
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. Although a role for interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17RA in the regulation of CYP450 enzymes has not been reported, the effect of brodalumab on CYP3A4/3A5 activity was evaluated in a disease-drug-drug interaction study.
In patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, a single subcutaneous dose of 210 mg brodalumab increased the exposure of midazolam, a CYP3A4/3A5 substrate by 24%. Based on the magnitude of change in exposure of midazolam, no dose adjustment of CYP3A4/3A5 substrates is necessary when administered concomitantly with Kyntheum.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Women of childbearing potential
Women of childbearing potential should use an effective method of contraception during treatment and for at least 12 weeks after treatment.
Pregnancy
There are no or limited amount of data from the use of brodalumab in pregnant women.
Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3).
Human IgG2 is known to cross the placental barrier and brodalumab is a human IgG2, therefore, brodalumab has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing foetus. As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of Kyntheum in pregnancy.
As the metabolism of brodalumab is unknown in infants, benefit risk for exposure of the infant to live vaccines following third trimester exposure to Kyntheum should be discussed with a physician.
Breast-feeding
It is unknown whether brodalumab is excreted in human milk. Brodalumab is a monoclonal antibody and is expected to be present in the first milk and at low levels afterwards.
A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded.
A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from Kyntheum therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.
Fertility
No data are available on the effect of brodalumab on human fertility. Animal studies did not show any effects on male and female reproductive organs and on sperm count, motility and morphology (see section 5.3).
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Kyntheum has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Summary of the safety profile
The most commonly reported adverse reactions in all Kyntheum-treated patients were arthralgia (4.6%), headache (4.3%), fatigue (2.6%), diarrhoea (2.2%), and oropharyngeal pain (2.1%).
Tabulated list of adverse reactions
Adverse reactions from clinical trials (Table 1) are listed by MedDRA system organ class (SOC). Within each SOC, the adverse reactions are ranked by frequency, with the most frequent reactions first. Within each frequency grouping adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. In addition, the corresponding frequency category for each adverse reaction is based on the following convention: very common (≥1/10), common (≥1/100 to <1/10), uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100), rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000) and very rare (<1/10,000).

Description of selected adverse reactions
Infections
During the 12-week placebo-controlled trial period in plaque psoriasis, infections were reported in 25.4% of patients treated with Kyntheum compared with 23.4% of patients treated with placebo. The majority of infections consisted of nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, urinary tract infections, bronchitis, and influenza, which did not necessitate treatment discontinuation. Serious infections occurred in 0.5% of patients treated with Kyntheum and in 0.2% of patients treated with placebo. Higher rates of fungal infections, primarily non-serious skin and mucosal candida infections, were observed in Kyntheum patients compared to placebo patients, 1.8% vs 0.9%, respectively. One serious case of cryptococcal meningitis and one serious case of coccidioidies infection were observed in clinical trials (see section 4.4).
Through Week 52, the exposure-adjusted event rates (per 100 patient-years) for infections were 114.6 for patients treated with Kyntheum and 118.1 for patients treated with ustekinumab. The exposure-adjusted event rates (per 100 patient-years) for serious infections were 1.3 for patients treated with Kyntheum and 1.0 for patients treated with ustekinumab.
Neutropenia
During the 12-week placebo-controlled period of clinical trials, neutropenia was reported in 0.8% of patients treated with Kyntheum compared with 0.5% of patients treated with placebo. Most adverse reactions of Kyntheum-associated neutropenia observed were mild, transient and reversible.
Neutropenia Grade 3 and 4 were reported in 0.4% of patients receiving Kyntheum compared to 0.2% of patients who received ustekinumab and none in patients receiving placebo. No serious infections were associated with neutropenia.
Immunogenicity
Antibodies to brodalumab developed in 2.7% (122/4461) of patients treated with Kyntheum for up to 52 weeks in psoriasis clinical trials (0.3% of these patients had anti-brodalumab antibodies at baseline). Of these patients, none had neutralising antibodies.
No evidence of altered pharmacokinetic profile, clinical response, or safety profile was associated with anti-brodalumab antibody development.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of 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
Doses up to 700 mg intravenously have been administered in clinical trials with no evidence of dose limiting toxicity. In the event of overdose, it is recommended that the patient be monitored for any signs or symptoms of adverse reactions and appropriate symptomatic treatment be instituted immediately.
5. Pharmacological properties
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Immunosuppressants, Interleukin inhibitors, ATC code: L04AC12
Mechanism of action
Brodalumab is a recombinant fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin IgG2 antibody that binds with high affinity to human IL-17RA and blocks the biological activities of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17A/F heterodimer and IL-25, resulting in inhibition of the inflammation and clinical symptoms associated with psoriasis. IL-17RA is a protein expressed on the cell surface and is a required component of receptor complexes utilized by multiple IL-17 family cytokines. IL-17 family cytokine concentrations have been reported to be increased in psoriasis. IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-17A/F heterodimer have pleiotropic activities including the induction of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, GROα, and G-CSF from epithelial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts that promote tissue inflammation. Blocking IL-17RA inhibits IL-17 cytokine-induced responses resulting in normalization of inflammation in the skin.
Pharmacodynamic effects
Elevated levels of IL-17A, IL-17C and IL-17F gene expression are found in psoriatic plaques. Elevated levels of expression of IL-12B and IL-23A, the genes for the two subunits of IL-23, an upstream activator of IL-17A and IL-17F expression, are also found in psoriatic plaques. Treatment with Kyntheum in psoriasis patients has been shown to decrease levels of IL-17A and markers of cell proliferation and epidermal thickness in lesional skin biopsies to non-lesional skin biopsy levels up to 12 weeks post-treatment.
Clinical efficacy and safety
The efficacy and safety of Kyntheum was assessed in 4373 adult plaque psoriasis patients across three multinational, randomised, double-blind, phase 3, placebo-controlled clinical trials (AMAGINE-1, AMAGINE-2, and AMAGINE-3). AMAGINE-2 and AMAGINE-3 were also active comparator (ustekinumab)-controlled. All three trials included a 12-week placebo-controlled induction phase, a double-blind duration of 52 weeks, and an open-label long-term extension.
Patients enrolled were candidates for systemic therapy, including phototherapy, biologic and non-biologic systemic therapies. Approximately 21% of patients had a history of psoriatic arthritis. Approximately 30% of patients had previously received a biological and 12% of patients were biological failures.
Patients were predominantly men (69%) and white (91%), with a mean age of 45 years (18 to 86 years), of these 6.1% were >65 years of age and 0.3% were >75 years of age. Across treatment groups, the baseline Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score ranged from 9.4 to 72 (median: 17.4) and baseline involved body surface area (BSA) ranged from 10 to 97 (median: 21). Baseline static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score ranged from “3 (moderate)” (58%) to “5 (very severe)” (5%).
AMAGINE-1 was conducted in 661 patients. The trial included a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled induction phase followed by a double-blind withdrawal and retreatment phase up to 52 weeks. Patients randomised to Kyntheum received 210 mg or 140 mg at Week 0 (day 1), Week 1, and Week 2 followed by same dose every 2 weeks. At Week 12, patients originally randomised to Kyntheum who achieved sPGA success (0 or 1) were re-randomised to receive either placebo or continued Kyntheum at their induction dose. Patients originally randomised to placebo and those who did not meet the criteria for re-randomisation received Kyntheum 210 mg every two weeks beginning at Week 12. Retreatment was available at or after Week 16 for patients with return of disease and rescue treatment was available after 12 weeks of retreatment.
AMAGINE-2 and AMAGINE-3 were identical placebo- and ustekinumab-controlled trials conducted in 1831 and 1881 patients, respectively. Both trials included a 12-week double-blind, placebo- and ustekinumab-controlled induction phase followed by a double-blind maintenance phase up to 52 weeks. Patients randomised to Kyntheum in the induction phase received 210 mg or 140 mg at Week 0 (day 1), Week 1, and Week 2 followed by same dose every 2 weeks. Patients randomised to ustekinumab received 45 mg for patients ≤100 kg and 90 mg for patients >100 kg at Weeks 0, 4, and 16 followed by same dose every 12 weeks. At Week 12, patients originally randomised to Kyntheum were re-randomised to receive either 210 mg every 2 weeks, or 140 mg every 2 weeks, or 140 mg every 4 weeks, or 140 mg every 8 weeks during the maintenance phase. Patients originally randomised to placebo received Kyntheum 210 mg every 2 weeks beginning at Week 12. At Week 12, patients in the ustekinumab group continued to receive ustekinumab and then were switched to Kyntheum 210 mg every 2 weeks at Week 52. Rescue treatment was available at or after Week 16 for patients with an inadequate response single sPGA ≥3 or persistent sPGA of 2 over at least a 4-week period.

In all three clinical trials, examination of age, gender, race, use of prior systemic or photo therapy, use of prior biologics, and biologic failures did not identify differences in response in all key endpoints [PASI 75, PASI 100, sPGA success (0 or 1), and sPGA clear (0)] to Kyntheum among these subgroups.

Along with primary efficacy endpoints, clinically important improvements were observed in Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI) at Week 12 (AMAGINE-1) and in Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) at Week 12 and 52 (AMAGINE-1,-2, and -3).
Quality of life/patient reported outcomes
The proportion of patients who achieved a Psoriasis Symptom Inventory (PSI) score of 0 (not at all) or 1 (mild) on every item (itch, burning, stinging, pain, redness, scaling, cracking and flaking) at Week 12 are shown in Table 2.
The percentage of patients that at Week 12 achieved a DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) score of 0 or 1 was 56%, 61%, 59% in the Kyntheum 210 mg group and 5%, 5%, 7% in the placebo group in AMAGINE-1, -2 and -3, respectively (adjusted p-value <0.001) and 44% in the ustekinumab groups (AMAGINE-2 and -3).
Paediatric population
The European Medicines Agency has deferred the obligation to submit the results of trials with Kyntheum in plaque psoriasis in one or more subsets of the paediatric population (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Absorption
Based on population pharmacokinetic modelling, the estimated accumulation ratio after 20 weeks of dosing is 2.5-fold. In moderate to severe plaque psoriasis patients following a single subcutaneous administration of Kyntheum at 210 mg, the mean maximum serum concentration (Cmax) was 13.4 mcg/ml (standard deviation [SD] = 7.29 mcg/ml). The median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was 3.0 days (range: 2.0 to 4.0 days) and the mean area under the concentration time curve to the last measurable concentration (AUClast) was 111 mcg*day/ml (SD = 64.4 mcg*day/ml). The subcutaneous bioavailability of brodalumab estimated by population pharmacokinetic modelling was 54.7% (relative standard error [RSE] = 4.25%).
The observed pharmacokinetic parameters during steady-state (weeks 10-12) were: mean steady-state area under the concentration time curve over the dosing interval (AUCtau) was 227.4 mcg*day/ml (SD = 191.7 mcg*day/ml) corresponding to average concentration (Cav,ss) of 16.2 mcg/ml, mean Cmax was 20.9 mcg/ml (SD = 17.0 mcg/ml) and Week 12 mean minimum serum concentration (Ctrough) was 9.8 mcg/ml (SD = 11.2 mcg/ml).
Distribution
Based on population pharmacokinetic modelling, the estimated mean steady-state volume of distribution of brodalumab was approximately 7.24 L.
Biotransformation
As an IgG2 human monoclonal antibody brodalumab is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in a manner similar to endogenous IgG.
Elimination
Following subcutaneous administrations of 210 mg, brodalumab exhibits non-linear pharmacokinetics typical for a monoclonal antibody that undergoes target-mediated drug disposition.
Brodalumab clearance decreases with increasing dose and exposure increases in a greater than dose-proportional manner. For a 3-fold increase in SC brodalumab dose from 70 to 210 mg, the steady-state serum brodalumab Cmax and AUC0-t increased approximately 18- and 25-fold, respectively.
Following a single subcutaneous administration of brodalumab 210 mg in plaque psoriasis patients, the apparent clearance (CL/F) is 2.95 L/day.
Population pharmacokinetic modelling predicted that serum brodalumab concentrations dropped below the quantification limit (0.05 mcg/ml) 63 days after discontinuation of steady-state dosing of brodalumab 210 mg administered every 2 weeks in 95% of the patients. However, brodalumab concentrations below LLOQ (Lower Limit of Quantification) were associated with IL-17 receptor occupancy up to 81%.
Based on population pharmacokinetic modelling the estimated half-life of brodalumab was 10.9 days at steady-state after every other week subcutaneous dose of 210 mg.
Impact of weight on pharmacokinetics
Population pharmacokinetic modelling indicated that exposure decreased as body weight increased. No dose adjustment is recommended.
Elderly patients
Population pharmacokinetic modelling indicated that age did not have an effect on brodalumab pharmacokinetics, which was co-based on 259 (6%) patients being 65-74 years old and on 14 (0.3%) patients being ≥75 years old, within a total PK population of 4271 plaque psoriasis patients.
Renal or hepatic impairment
No pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with impaired renal or hepatic function. Renal elimination of intact brodalumab, an IgG monoclonal antibody, is expected to be low and of minor consequence. Brodalumab is expected to be mainly eliminated via catabolism and hepatic impairment is not expected to influence clearance.
Other populations
The pharmacokinetics of brodalumab was similar between Japanese and non-Japanese patients with psoriasis.
Population pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that gender did not have an effect on brodalumab pharmacokinetics.
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship(s)
A population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model, developed using all available data indicated that at a dose of 210 mg every 2 weeks, 90% of all patients would be predicted to maintain a trough concentration greater than the estimated IC90 value of 1.51 mcg/ml. Based on an exploratory descriptive analysis, no relationship was observed between exposure and incidence of serious infections and infestations, candida infections, viral infections, and suicidal ideation and behaviour events. Exposure-response analysis indicates that higher brodalumab concentrations are related to better PASI and sPGA response.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of repeated dose toxicity (including safety pharmacology endpoints and assessment of fertility-related endpoints), and toxicity to reproduction and development.
Carcinogenicity studies with brodalumab have not been conducted. However, there were no proliferative changes in cynomolgus monkeys administered weekly subcutaneous doses of brodalumab at 90 mg/kg for 6 months (AUC exposure 47-fold higher than in human patients receiving Kyntheum 210 mg every 2 weeks). The mutagenic potential of brodalumab was not evaluated; however, monoclonal antibodies are not expected to alter DNA or chromosomes.
In cynomolgus monkeys there were no effects on male and female reproductive organs and on sperm count, motility and morphology following administration of brodalumab at dose levels up to 90 mg/kg once weekly for 6 months, (AUC exposure up to 47-fold higher than in human patients receiving Kyntheum 210 mg every 2 weeks).
In cynomolgus monkeys, no effects on embryo-foetal or postnatal (up to 6 months of age) development were observed when brodalumab was dosed subcutaneously throughout pregnancy at exposure levels up to 27-fold higher than those achieved in human patients receiving Kyntheum 210 mg every 2 weeks based on the area under the concentration curve (AUC). Serum concentrations in monkey infants and in foetal rabbits indicated considerable passage of brodalumab from the mother to the foetus at the end of pregnancy.
In cynomolgus monkeys, after weekly subcutaneous dosing of brodalumab at dose levels up to 90 mg/kg for 6 months, brodalumab-related effects were limited to injection site reactions and mucocutaneous inflammation that was consistent with pharmacologic modulation of host surveillance to commensal microflora. There were no effects on peripheral blood immunophenotyping and the T-cell dependent antibody response assay. In a local tolerance test in rabbits, moderate to severe edema was observed after subcutaneous injection of a formulation containing brodalumab at the clinical concentration of 140 mg/ml.

6.6 Special precautions for disposal and other handling
Kyntheum is a sterile solution for injection in pre-filled syringe. Each pre-filled syringe is for single use only. The 'Instructions for Use' should be consulted for detailed instructions on administration of Kyntheum.
To avoid discomfort at the site of injection, at least 30 minutes should be allowed for the pre-filled syringe to reach room temperature before injecting. The pre-filled syringe should not be warmed in any other way. The pre-filled syringe should not be shaken. The grey needle cap on the pre-filled syringe should not be removed while allowing to reach room temperature.
Kyntheum should be visually inspected for particles and discoloration prior to administration. Kyntheum is a clear to slightly opalescent, colourless to slightly yellow solution, free from particles. This medicine should not be used if the solution is cloudy or discoloured or contains lumps, flakes, or particles.
The pre-filled syringe should not be used if it has been dropped on a hard surface.
Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
