Rozanolixizumab Interactions

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to RYSTIGGO during pregnancy. Patients or their healthcare providers may contact UCBCares at 1-844-599-CARE (2273) or email ucbcares@ucb.com, so that information about the exposure of RYSTIGGO during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding can be collected. As a healthcare professional, please ask about becoming a member of the MGBase registry (https://www.mgbase.org). Risk Summary There are limited data on RYSTIGGO use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Following administration of rozanolixizumab-noli to pregnant monkeys at doses greater than those used clinically, increases in embryonic death, reduced body weight, and impaired immune function were observed in the absence of maternal toxicity ( see Data ). All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background rate of major birth defects and miscarriage in the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Subcutaneous administration of rozanolixizumab-noli (0, 50, or 150 mg/kg) to pregnant monkeys every 3 days throughout pregnancy (gestation day 20 to parturition) resulted in an increase in embryonic death and reduced body weight and impaired immune function in offspring at both doses. A no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects was not identified; the doses tested in monkeys are 10 and 30 times the maximum recommended human dose of approximately 10 mg/kg, on a mg/kg/week basis.
