Piasky

• Use aseptic technique to prepare PIASKY for intravenous administration. PIASKY must be diluted and administered as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes ± 10 minutes (1,000 mg) or 90 minutes ± 10 minutes (1,500 mg).
• PIASKY solution must be diluted in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection prior to administration. A 0.2 micron in-line filter must be used with the infusion set during administration. A dedicated infusion line must be used during intravenous administration.
• Only dilute PIASKY in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection.

• Withdraw the required volume of PIASKY from the vial (see Table 2) using a sterile syringe and dilute into the infusion bag. Use multiple vials to meet the required volume of PIASKY to be added to the infusion bag. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.

Dilution of PIASKY in infusion bags containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection must be in the range of 4-15 mg/mL (final concentration after dilution) (see Table 2).

Intravenous infusion bags of a volume of 100 mL or 250 mL can be used.

• Gently mix the infusion bag by slowly inverting the bag. Do not shake.
• Inspect the infusion bag for particles and discard if present.
• Flushing of infusion line is required to ensure complete administration of the entire dose.

The diluted solution for intravenous infusion should be used immediately because PIASKY does not contain any antimicrobial preservative. If immediate use is not possible, see Table 3for detailed storage conditions of the prepared solution for infusion, which depends on the type of infusion bags used.

No incompatibilities have been observed between PIASKY and intravenous infusion bags with product-contacting materials made of polyvinyl chloride, or polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene. In addition, no incompatibilities have been observed with infusion sets or infusion aids with product-contacting materials made of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyurethane, polybutadiene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonate, or polytetrafluorethylene.

The infusion of PIASKY may be slowed or interrupted if the patient develops an infusion-related reaction. The infusion should be discontinued immediately if the patient experiences a serious hypersensitivity reaction

For subcutaneous injection, PIASKY must be used undiluted.

• Remove the vial cap and clean the vial rubber stopper.
• Attach the transfer needle on the syringe.
• Withdraw all the medicine from the vial.
  • Remove air bubbles if any.
• Remove the transfer needle from the vial.
  • Recap the transfer needle using a one-handed scoop technique.
  • Detach the transfer needle.
• Attach the injection needle on the syringe.
• Clean the injection site with an alcohol pad and let air dry.
• Inject the medicine subcutaneously.

If the dose requires multiple injections, perform a new injection using a new PIASKY vial.

A syringe, a transfer needle and an injection needle are needed to withdraw PIASKY solution from the vial and inject it subcutaneously.

• • A 2 mL or 3 mL syringe fulfilling the following criteria are recommended: Transparent polypropylene or polycarbonate syringe with Luer-Lock tip (if not available, a syringe with Luer Slip tip can be used), sterile, single-use, latex-free and non-pyrogenic, and commercially available in the US.
  • A transfer needle without a filter fulfilling the following criteria may be used: Stainless steel, sterile, preferably gauge 18 G with single bevel at approximately 45 degrees to reduce risk of needle stick injury (or gauge 21 G standard needle as an alternative), single-use, latex-free and non-pyrogenic, and commercially available in the US.
  • An injection needle fulfilling the following criteria may be used: Hypodermic needle, stainless steel, sterile, gauge 25 G, 26 G or 27 G, length 3/8'' to 1/2'', single-use, latex-free and non-pyrogenic, preferably including safety needle shield, and commercially available in the US.

• Each injection is a volume of 2 mL PIASKY, corresponding to 340 mg. A 2 mL-size or 3 mL-size syringe should be used for each injection. A dose of 680 mg is achieved by performing two consecutive subcutaneous injections of 340 mg. A dose of 1020 mg is achieved by performing three consecutive subcutaneous injections of 340 mg.
• Inject PIASKY subcutaneously in the abdomen region and rotate abdominal injection sites with every injection. Consecutive injections must be at least 2 inches apart. No data are available on injection at other sites of the body. Injections should never be given into moles, scars, or areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, hard, or not intact.

Once transferred from the vial to the syringe, PIASKY should be injected immediately because PIASKY does not contain any antimicrobial-preservative. If immediate use is not possible, the capped syringe can be refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 64 hours protected from light and stored at room temperature up to 30°C (86°F) for up to 5 hours under ambient light conditions.

Protect from direct sunlight.

There are no data on the presence of crovalimab-akkz in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Endogenous IgG and monoclonal antibodies are transferred in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed child to crovalimab-akkz is unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with PIASKY and for 9 months after the final dose.
