Leaflet RONAPREVE 120mg / ml+120mg / ml solution for injection / infusion


Indicated for: COVID-19

Route of administration: injectable / infusion

Substance: casirivimab + imdevimab (monoclonal antibodies)

ATC: J06BD07 (Antiinfectives for systemic use | Immunoglobulins | Antiviral monoclonal antibodies)

Casirivimab and imdevimab are monoclonal antibodies used for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 in patients at high risk of developing severe disease. These antibodies work by binding to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, preventing it from entering human cells.

This combination is administered either as an intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injections, depending on the doctor's instructions. The treatment is most effective when given in the early stages of infection or as post-exposure prophylaxis.

Patients should be closely monitored during and after administration to detect potential adverse reactions, such as allergic reactions or hypersensitivity symptoms. It is important that the treatment is administered under medical supervision.

Side effects may include injection site reactions, fever, fatigue, headache, or, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions. Patients should inform their doctor of any unusual symptoms.

4.3 Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Traceability

In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch numberof the administered product should be clearly recorded.

Activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants

Decisions regarding the use of Ronapreve for treatment or prophylaxis should take into considerationwhat is known about the characteristics of the circulating SARS-CoV-2 viruses including regional orgeographical differences and available information on Ronapreve susceptibility patterns. See section5.1.

When molecular testing or sequencing data is available, it should be considered when selectingantiviral therapy to rule out SARS-CoV-2 variants that are shown to have reduced susceptibility to

Ronapreve.

Subcutaneous administration for treatment of COVID-19

The clinical efficacy of Ronapreve when administered by the subcutaneous route for treatment of

COVID-19 has not been evaluated in clinical trials (see section 5.1). The pharmacokinetics ofcasirivimab and imdevimab in the first 48 hours after subcutaneous administration of 600 mg of eachmonoclonal antibody indicate lower serum exposures compared to intravenous administration of thesame dose. It is unknown whether differences in initial systemic exposure result in differences inclinical efficacy. It is recommended that the subcutaneous route of administration is used only ifintravenous administration is not feasible and would lead to a delay in treatment.

Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis

Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with administration ofcasirivimab and imdevimab (see section 4.8). If signs or symptoms of a clinically significanthypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur, immediately discontinue administration and initiateappropriate medications and/or supportive care.

Infusion-related reactions

Infusion-related reactions (IRRs) have been observed with intravenous administration of casirivimaband imdevimab.

IRRs observed in clinical studies were mostly moderate in severity and were typically observed duringor within 24 hours of infusion. The frequently reported signs and symptoms for these reactionsincluded nausea, chills, dizziness (or syncope), rash, urticaria and flushing. However, infusion-relatedreactions may present as severe or life-threatening events and may include other signs and symptoms.

If an IRR occurs, the infusion may be interrupted, slowed or stopped.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

No formal drug-drug interaction studies have been performed. Casirivimab and imdevimab aremonoclonal antibodies, which are not renally excreted or metabolised by cytochrome P450 enzymes;therefore, interactions with concomitant medicinal products that are renally excreted or that aresubstrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

There are no or limited amount of data from the use of casirivimab and imdevimab in pregnantwomen. Animal studies have not been performed with respect to reproductive toxicity. Humanimmunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibodies are known to cross the placenta. It is unknown whether thepotential transfer of casirivimab and imdevimab provides any treatment benefit or risk to thedeveloping foetus. However, as casirivimab and imdevimab directly target the spike protein of SARS-

CoV-2 and in view of lack of cross reactivity with reproductive or foetal tissues in the tissue crossreactivity studies, negative effects on developing foetus are not expected. Ronapreve should be usedduring pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk for the mother and the foetusconsidering all associated health factors. If a woman becomes pregnant while taking this medicine, theindividual should be informed that any potential risk to the foetus is unknown.

Breast-feeding

It is unknown whether casirivimab and imdevimab are excreted in human milk, but maternal IgG isknown to be transferred to milk during the first days after birth. As casirivimab and imdevimabdirectly target the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and in view of low systemic absorption after oralingestion of antibodies, administration of Ronapreve whilst breast-feeding can be considered whenclinically indicated.

Fertility

No fertility studies have been performed.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Ronapreve has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Summary of the safety profile

Overall, 7 116 subjects (4 666 via intravenous administration and 2 450 via subcutaneousadministration) have been treated with casirivimab and imdevimab in clinical trials.

The most frequently reported adverse drug reactions are hypersensitivity reactions, which includeinfusion related reactions (IRRs) and injection site reactions (ISRs).

Tabulated summary of adverse reactions

The adverse reactions in Table 3 are listed below by system organ class and frequency. Frequenciesare defined as Very common (≥ 1/10), (Common (≥ 1/100 to 1/10), Uncommon (≥ 1/1 000 to < 1/100),

Paediatric population
Intravenous administration

No data are available for paediatric patients <18 years old.

Subcutaneous administration

In study COV-2069, 66 adolescents ≥ 12 and < 18 years old received treatment with casirivimab andimdevimab. The safety profile observed was similar to that in adult patients.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. Itallows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcareprofessionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting systemlisted in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

Doses up to 4 000 mg each of casirivimab and imdevimab (approximately 7-times the recommendeddose) have been administered in clinical trials. The safety profile for 8 000 mg intravenous was notsubstantially different to that for the recommended dose.

There is no known specific antidote for casirivimab and imdevimab overdose. Treatment of overdoseshould consist of general supportive measures including monitoring of vital signs and observation ofthe clinical status of the patient.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Casirivimab:

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Not yet assigned. ATC code: Not yet assigned.

Imdevimab:

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Not yet assigned. ATC code: Not yet assigned.

Mechanism of action

Casirivimab (IgG1κ) and imdevimab (IgG1λ) are two recombinant human monoclonal antibodieswhich are unmodified in the Fc regions. Casirivimab and imdevimab bind to non-overlapping epitopesof the spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2. This prevents RBD binding tothe human ACE2 receptor, so preventing virus entry into cells.

In-vitro antiviral activity

In a SARS-CoV-2 virus neutralisation assay in Vero E6 cells, casirivimab, imdevimab, andcasirivimab and imdevimab together neutralised SARS-CoV-2 (USA-WA1/2020 isolate) with EC50values of 37.4 pM (0.006 μg/mL), 42.1 pM (0.006 μg/mL), and 31.0 pM (0.005 μg/mL) respectively.

Resistance

There is a potential risk of treatment failure due to the development of viral variants that are resistantto casirivimab and imdevimab administered together.

The neutralising activity of casirivimab, imdevimab and casirivimab and imdevimab together wasassessed against S protein variants, including known Variants of Concern/Interest, variants identifiedin in vitro escape studies, and variants from publicly available SARS-CoV-2 genome data obtainedfrom the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID). Casirivimab and imdevimabneutralising activity against the Variants of Concern/Interest are shown in Table 4.

Clinical efficacy
Treatment of COVID-19

COV-2067 was a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating casirivimaband imdevimab for the treatment of subjects with COVID-19 (symptomatic with SARS-CoV-2detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction [RT-qPCR]) who did notrequire supplemental oxygen.

In Phase 3 Cohort 1 of this trial, subjects not previously vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 wererandomised within 7 days of symptom onset to a single intravenous infusion of 600 mg of casirivimaband 600 mg of imdevimab (n = 1 347), 1 200 mg of casirivimab and 1 200 mg of imdevimab(n = 2 036) or placebo (n = 2 009).

Subjects in Phase 3 Cohort 1 had at least one protocol-listed risk factor for developing severe COVID-19 (these included age > 50 years, obesity defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, cardiovascular diseaseincluding hypertension, chronic lung disease including asthma, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, chronickidney disease including those on dialysis, chronic liver disease, pregnancy and immunosuppressed).

The median age was 50 years (with 13.1% of subjects aged 65 years or older) and 51.4% of thesubjects were female. Baseline demographics and disease characteristics were well balanced across thecasirivimab and imdevimab and placebo treatment groups.

The primary endpoint was the proportion of subjects with ≥ 1 COVID-19-related hospitalisation or all-cause death through Day 29.

The median time to symptom resolution, as recorded in a trial-specific daily symptom diary, wasreduced from 13 days with placebo to 10 days with both doses of casirivimab and imdevimab(p<0.0001).

Prevention of COVID-19

COV-2069 was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that compared 600 mgcasirivimab and 600 mg imdevimab given subcutaneously to placebo for prevention of COVID-19 inasymptomatic household contacts of symptomatic individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 (indexcases). Subjects had not been previously vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.

Subjects were randomised 1:1 to casirivimab and imdevimab or placebo within 96 hours of collectionof the first index case sample that gave a positive result (RT-qPCR) for SARS-CoV-2.

Randomised subjects with a negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR test result at baseline were assigned to

Cohort A and those with a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR test result were assigned to Cohort B.

Cohort A

The primary analysis population included subjects who were SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR negative andseronegative at baseline. Subjects who were seropositive or who had undetermined/missing baselineserology were excluded from the primary efficacy analysis.

For the primary analysis population at baseline, the median age was 44 years (with 9% of subjectsages 65 years or older) and 54% of the subjects were female. The baseline demographics and diseasecharacteristics were well balanced across the casirivimab and imdevimab and placebo treatmentgroups.

The primary endpoint was the proportion of subjects who developed symptomatic RT-qPCR-confirmed COVID-19 through Day 29. There was a statistically significant 81% risk reduction in thedevelopment of COVID-19 with casirivimab and imdevimab treatment versus placebo. In a sensitivityanalysis that included all RT-qPCR negative subjects at baseline, regardless of baseline serologicalstatus, there was a statistically significant 82% risk reduction in development of COVID-19 withcasirivimab and imdevimab treatment compared to placebo.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Both casirivimab and imdevimab exhibited linear and dose-proportional PK across the intravenous(150 to 4 000 mg of each monoclonal antibody) and subcutaneous (300 and 600 mg of eachmonoclonal antibody) dose ranges evaluated in clinical studies.

Mean peak concentration (Cmax), area under the curve from 0 to 28 days (AUC0-28) and concentrationat 28 days after dosing (C28) for casirivimab and imdevimab were comparable after either a single1 200 mg (600 mg of each monoclonal antibody) intravenous dose (182.7 mg/L, 1 754.9 mg.day/L,37.9 mg/L, respectively for casirivimab, and 181.7 mg/L, 1 600.8 mg.day/L, 27.3 mg/L, respectivelyfor imdevimab), or a single 1 200 mg (600 mg of each monoclonal antibody) subcutaneous dose(52.5 mg/L, 1 121.7 mg.day/L, 30.5 mg/L, respectively for casirivimab, and 49.2 mg/L,1 016.9 mg.day/L, 25.9 mg/L, respectively for imdevimab).

For the pre-exposure prophylaxis of intravenous and subcutaneous regimens at monthly administrationof 300 mg each for casirivimab and imdevimab following an initial (loading) dose of 600 mg each forcasirivimab and imdevimab, the median predicted casirivimab and imdevimab trough serumconcentrations at steady state are similar to observed mean day 29 concentrations in serum for a singlesubcutaneous dose of casirivimab and imdevimab 1 200 mg (600 mg of casirivimab and 600 mg ofimdevimab).

Absorption

Casirivimab and imdevimab administered as a single intravenous dose of 600 mg for each monoclonalantibody results in peak serum concentrations at the end of infusion. The median (range) time to reachmaximum serum concentration of casirivimab and imdevimab (Tmax) estimates following a singlesubcutaneous dose of 600 mg of each monoclonal antibody are 6.7 (range 3.4 - 13.6) days and 6.6(range 3.4 - 13.6) days for casirivimab and imdevimab, respectively. After a single subcutaneous doseof 600 mg of each monoclonal antibody, casirivimab and imdevimab had an estimated bioavailabilityof 71.8% and 71.7%, respectively.

Distribution

The total volume of distribution estimated via population pharmacokinetic analysis is 7.161 L and7.425 L for casirivimab and imdevimab, respectively.

Biotransformation

As human monoclonal IgG1 antibodies, casirivimab and imdevimab are expected to be degraded intosmall peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.

Elimination

The mean (5th, 95th percentile) serum elimination half-lives after a 600 mg dose of each monoclonalantibody were 29.8 (16.4, 43.1) days and 26.2 (16.9, 35.6) days, respectively, for casirivimab andimdevimab.

Paediatric population

For adolescent patients with COVID-19 (12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kg in

COV-2067) receiving a single 1200 mg IV dose, the mean ± SD concentration at the end of infusionand at 28 days after dosing was 172 ± 96.9 mg/L and 54.3 ± 17.7 mg/L for casirivimab and183 ± 101 mg/L and 45.3 ± 13.1 mg/L for imdevimab.

For adolescents not infected with SARS-CoV-2 (12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kgin COV-2069) receiving a single 1200 mg SC dose, the mean ± SD concentration 28 days after dosingwas 44.9 ± 14.7 mg/L for casirivimab and 36.5 ± 13.2 mg/L for imdevimab.

The pharmacokinetics of casirivimab and imdevimab in children < 12 years of age has not yet beenestablished.

Elderly

In the population PK analysis, age (18 years to 96 years) was not identified as a significant covariateon PK of casirivimab and imdevimab.

Renal impairment

Casirivimab and imdevimab are not expected to undergo significant renal elimination due to theirmolecular weight (> 69 kDa).

Hepatic impairment

Casirivimab and imdevimab are not expected to undergo significant hepatic elimination.

5.3 Preclinical safety data

Carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and reproductive toxicology studies have not been conducted withcasirivimab and imdevimab. Antibodies such as casirivimab and imdevimab are not expected todisplay genotoxic or carcinogenic potential. In tissue cross-reactivity studies with casirivimab andimdevimab using human and monkey adult tissues and human foetal tissues, no binding was detected.

In a toxicology study in cynomolgus monkeys, non-adverse liver findings (minor transient increases in

AST and ALT) were observed.
