Fabhalta Prescribing Information
- Complete or update vaccination for encapsulated bacteria at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of FABHALTA, unless the risks of delaying therapy with FABHALTA outweigh the risk of developing a serious infection. Comply with the most current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations for vaccinations against encapsulated bacteria in patients receiving a complement inhibitor. SeeWarnings and Precautions (5.1)for additional guidance on the management of the risk of serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria.
- Patients receiving FABHALTA are at increased risk for invasive disease caused by encapsulated bacteria, even if they develop antibodies following vaccination. Monitor patients for early signs and symptoms of serious infections and evaluate immediately if infection is suspected.
Indications and Usage (1.2 Immunoglobulin A NephropathyFABHALTA is indicated to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥ 1.5 g/g.This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on reduction of proteinuria. It has not been established whether FABHALTA slows kidney function decline in patients with IgAN. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory clinical trial. | 8/2024 |
Indications and Usage (1.3 Complement 3 GlomerulopathyFABHALTA is indicated for the treatment of adults with complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G), to reduce proteinuria. | 3/2025 |
