ADYNOVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), PEGylated] Important Information Indication ADYNOVATE, Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), PEGylated, is a human antihemophilic factor indicated in adolescent and adult patients (12 years and older) with hemophilia A (congenital factor VIII deficiency) for: • On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes • Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes ADYNOVATE is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease. DETAILED IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS ADYNOVATE is contraindicated in patients who have had prior anaphylactic reaction to ADYNOVATE, to the parent molecule (ADVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)]), mouse or hamster protein, or excipients of ADYNOVATE (e.g. Tris, mannitol, trehalose, glutathione, and/or polysorbate 80). WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions are possible with ADYNOVATE. Allergictype hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with other recombinant antihemophilic factor VIII products, including the parent molecule, ADVATE. Early signs of Baxalta, Advate, and Adynovate are trademarks of Baxalta Incorporated. USBS/MG159/15-0140 hypersensitivity reactions that can progress to anaphylaxis may include angioedema, chest tightness, dyspnea, wheezing, urticaria, and pruritus. Immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate treatment if hypersensitivity reactions occur. Neutralizing Antibodies Formation of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to factor VIII can occur following administration of ADYNOVATE. Monitor patients regularly for the development of factor VIII inhibitors by appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests. Perform an assay that measures factor VIII inhibitor concentration if the plasma factor VIII level fails to increase as expected, or if bleeding is not controlled with expected dose. ADVERSE REACTIONS Common adverse reactions (≥1% of subjects) reported in the clinical studies were headache and nausea. Please see the following page for the Brief Summary of ADYNOVATE.
