INDICATIONS

Gamifant (emapalumab-lzsg) is an interferon gamma (IFNγ)-neutralizing antibody indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric (newborn and older) patients with:

Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with refractory, recurrent, or progressive disease or intolerance with conventional HLH therapy.
HLH/macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in known or suspected Still’s disease, including systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA), with an inadequate response or intolerance to glucocorticoids, or with recurrent MAS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Infections

Gamifant may increase the risk of fatal and serious infections with pathogens including mycobacteria, herpes zoster virus, and histoplasma capsulatum. Do not administer Gamifant in patients with these infections until appropriate treatment has been initiated.

In patients with primary HLH receiving Gamifant in clinical trials, serious infections such as sepsis, pneumonia, bacteremia, disseminated histoplasmosis, necrotizing fasciitis, viral infections, and perforated appendicitis were observed in 32% of patients.

In patients with HLH/MAS in Still’s disease receiving Gamifant in clinical trials, serious infections such as pneumonia, cytomegalovirus infection, cytomegalovirus infection reactivation, and sepsis were observed in 13% of patients.

Evaluate patients for tuberculosis risk factors and test for latent infection prior to initiating Gamifant. Administer tuberculosis prophylaxis to patients at risk for tuberculosis or known to have a positive purified protein derivative (PPD) test result.

Consider prophylaxis for herpes zoster, Pneumocystis jirovecii, and fungal infection while receiving Gamifant. Employ surveillance testing during treatment with Gamifant.

Closely monitor patients receiving Gamifant for signs or symptoms of infection, promptly initiate a complete diagnostic workup appropriate for an immunocompromised patient, and initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Increased Risk of Infection With Use of Live Vaccines

Do not administer live or live attenuated vaccines to patients receiving Gamifant and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of Gamifant. The safety of immunization with live vaccines during or following Gamifant therapy has not been studied.

Infusion-related reactions in patients with HLH/MAS in Still’s disease, including pyrexia, headache, paresthesia, bone pain, pruritic rash, and peripheral coldness, were reported with Gamifant treatment in 13% of patients. Infusion-related reactions were reported as mild in 8% of patients and as moderate in 5% of patients.
