(Sutimlimab-Jome)Enjaymo Prescribing Information
Dosage and Administration (2.1 Recommended Vaccinations for Encapsulated Bacterial InfectionsVaccinate patients against encapsulated bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae andNeisseria meningitidis (serogroups A, C, W, Y and B), according to current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of ENJAYMO[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. If urgent ENJAYMO therapy is indicated in a patient who is not up to date with vaccines forStreptococcus pneumoniae andNeisseria meningitidis administer these vaccines as soon as possible. | 02/2024 |
Warnings and Precautions (5.1 Serious Infections Including Those Caused by Encapsulated BacteriaENJAYMO, a proximal classical complement C1s inhibitor, increases a patient's susceptibility to serious infections including those caused by encapsulated bacteria e.g. Neisseria meningitidis (any serogroup, including non-groupable strains),Streptococcus pneumoniae , andHaemophilus influenzae type B.Life-threatening and fatal infections with encapsulated bacteria have occurred in both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients treated with complement inhibitors. Serious infections (bacterial and viral) were reported in 15% (10/66) of patients receiving ENJAYMO from the two phase 3 studies. These infections included urinary tract infection with sepsis, respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, otomastoiditis, and skin infections One patient (1.5%) died due to klebsiella pneumonia. Complete or update vaccination against encapsulated bacteria at least 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of ENJAYMO, according to the most current ACIP recommendations for patients receiving a complement inhibitor. Revaccinate patients in accordance with ACIP recommendations considering the chronic duration of therapy with ENJAYMO. Note that, ACIP recommends an administration schedule in patients receiving complement inhibitors that differs from the administration schedule in the vaccine prescribing information. If urgent ENJAYMO therapy is indicated in a patient who is not up to date on their vaccines administer vaccine(s) as soon as possible. Vaccination does not eliminate the risk of serious encapsulated bacterial infections, despite development of antibodies following vaccination. Closely monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of serious infection and evaluate patients immediately if an infection is suspected. If ENJAYMO treatment is administered to patients with active systemic infections, monitor closely for signs and symptoms of worsening infection. Some infections may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated promptly. Inform patients of these signs and symptoms and steps to be taken to seek immediate medical care. Consider interruption of ENJAYMO treatment in patients who are undergoing treatment for serious infection. ENJAYMO has not been studied in patients with chronic systemic infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. Consider patients' immune status when initiating treatment with ENJAYMO. | 02/2024 |

There are no available data on ENJAYMO use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, sutimlimab-jome may be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. In animal reproduction studies, intravenous administration of sutimlimab-jome to pregnant monkeys during organogenesis at doses 2 to 3 times the maximum recommended human doses did not result in adverse effects on pregnancy or offspring development
Animal data
Pregnant monkeys were administered sutimlimab-jome at doses of 60 and 180 mg/kg/dose via 30-minute intravenous infusion once-weekly from gestation Day 20 to parturition (approximately 21 doses) resulting in exposures 2 to 3 times the human exposures at the maximum recommended doses, based on area under the curve (AUC). Sutimlimab-jome was detectable in infants born to pregnant females exposed to 180 mg/kg/week. No effects on reproductive and developmental parameters were observed in maternal animals and offspring, respectively.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, 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%–4% and 15%–20%, respectively.
ENJAYMO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to sutimlimab-jome or any of the inactive ingredients
5.2 Infusion-Related ReactionsENJAYMO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to sutimlimab-jome or any of the inactive ingredients
Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions and interrupt if a reaction occurs. Discontinue ENJAYMO infusion and institute appropriate supportive measures if signs of hypersensitivity reactions, such as cardiovascular instability or respiratory compromise, occur.
6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause 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.
The safety of ENJAYMO in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CAD was evaluated in a placebo-controlled study (CADENZA) in Part A (n=42) followed by an open-label single-arm study in Part B (n=39) and an open-label single-arm study (CARDINAL) (n=24)
Serious adverse reaction occurred in 2/22 (9%) patients who received ENJAYMO. Serious adverse reactions included Raynaud's phenomenon (n=1) and febrile infection (n=1).
Permanent discontinuation of ENJAYMO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2/22 (9%) patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of ENJAYMO included Raynaud's phenomenon (n=1), acrocyanosis (n=1), and infusion related reactions (n=1).
Dosage interruptions of ENJAYMO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3/22 patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption included nasopharyngitis (n=1) and infusion related reaction (n=1), including pruritis (n=1) and chest discomfort (n=1).
The most common adverse reactions (≥18%) reported in the CADENZA study were rhinitis, headache, hypertension, acrocyanosis, and Raynaud's phenomenon.
