About Vyepti

What is this medication?

Vyepti is a prescription medication used for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonists, which are monoclonal antibodies specifically designed to target the biological pathways associated with migraine. Unlike some other preventive treatments that are taken as daily pills or monthly self-injections, this medication is administered by a healthcare professional through an intravenous infusion. It is meant to reduce the overall number of monthly migraine days and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic or episodic migraine.

The medication works by binding to a protein called CGRP, which is thought to be involved in the transmission of pain signals and the dilation of blood vessels during a migraine attack. By neutralizing this protein, the drug helps prevent the onset of symptoms before they start. Patients typically receive the infusion once every three months, and each session lasts approximately thirty minutes in a clinical setting. Because it is delivered directly into the bloodstream, it begins to circulate through the body quickly to provide consistent, long-term prevention.

Indications and usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE VYEPTI is indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. VYEPTI is a calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults ( 1 )
Dosage and administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Must dilute before use. For intravenous infusion only ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) Recommended dosage is 100 mg as an intravenous infusion over approximately 30 minutes every 3 months. Some patients may benefit from a dosage of 300 mg every 3 months ( 2.1 , 2.3 ) Dilute only in 100 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosing The recommended dosage is 100 mg administered by intravenous infusion every 3 months. Some patients may benefit from a dosage of 300 mg administered by intravenous infusion every 3 months. 2.2 Dilution Instructions VYEPTI requires dilution prior to administration. Dilute only in 100 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. The infusion bags must be made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), or polyolefin (PO). Use appropriate aseptic technique when preparing VYEPTI solution for intravenous infusion. VYEPTI single-dose vials contain no preservative; discard unused portion remaining in the vial. Dilution 100 mg dose: To prepare the solution, withdraw 1 mL of VYEPTI from a single-dose vial using a sterile needle and syringe. Inject the 1 mL content into a 100 mL bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. 300 mg dose: To prepare the solution, withdraw 1 mL of VYEPTI from each of 3 single-dose vials using a sterile needle and syringe. Inject the resulting 3 mL content into a 100 mL bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Storage and Handling of Diluted Product Gently invert the VYEPTI solution to mix completely. Do not shake. Following dilution, VYEPTI solution must be infused within 8 hours. During this time, VYEPTI solution should be stored at room temperature, 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Do not freeze. 2.3 Infusion Administration Instructions Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use if the liquid contains visible particulate matter or is cloudy or discolored [see Dosage Forms and Strengths (3) ] . No other medications should be administered through the infusion set or mixed with VYEPTI. VYEPTI is for intravenous infusion only; infuse over approximately 30 minutes. Do not administer VYEPTI as an intravenous push or bolus injection. Use an intravenous infusion set with a 0.2 micron or 0.22 micron in-line or add-on sterile filter. After the infusion is complete, flush the line with 20 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS VYEPTI is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to eptinezumab-jjmr or to any of the excipients in VYEPTI. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . VYEPTI is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to eptinezumab-jjmr or to any of the excipients ( 4)
Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider discontinuing VYEPTI and initiate appropriate therapy ( 5.1 ) Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur ( 5.2 ) Raynaud’s Phenomenon: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon may occur ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, urticaria, facial flushing, dyspnea, and rash, have occurred with VYEPTI in clinical trials and in the postmarketing setting. Most hypersensitivity reactions occurred during infusion and were not serious, but often led to discontinuation or required treatment. Serious hypersensitivity reactions may occur. Cases of anaphylaxis have been reported in the postmarketing setting. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider discontinuing VYEPTI and institute appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4) and Patient Counseling Information (17) ] . 5.2 Hypertension Development of hypertension and worsening of pre-existing hypertension have been reported following the use of CGRP antagonists, including VYEPTI, in the postmarketing setting. Some of the patients who developed new-onset hypertension had risk factors for hypertension. There were cases requiring initiation of pharmacological treatment for hypertension, and in some cases hospitalization. Hypertension may occur at any time during treatment, but was most frequently reported within 7 days of therapy initiation. The CGRP antagonist was discontinued in many of the reported cases. Monitor patients treated with VYEPTI for new-onset hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, and consider whether discontinuation of VYEPTI is warranted if evaluation fails to establish an alternative etiology or blood pressure is inadequately controlled. 5.3 Raynaud’s Phenomenon Development of Raynaud’s phenomenon and recurrence or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon have been reported in the postmarketing setting following the use of CGRP antagonists. In reported cases with monoclonal antibody CGRP antagonists, symptom onset occurred a median of 71 days following dosing. Many of the cases reported serious outcomes, including hospitalizations and disability, generally related to debilitating pain. In most reported cases, discontinuation of the CGRP antagonist resulted in resolution of symptoms. VYEPTI should be discontinued if signs or symptoms of Raynaud’s phenomenon develop, and patients should be evaluated by a healthcare provider if symptoms do not resolve. Patients with a history of Raynaud’s phenomenon should be monitored for, and informed about the possibility of, worsening or recurrence of signs and symptoms.
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Raynaud’s Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥2% and 2% or greater than placebo) were nasopharyngitis and hypersensitivity ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Lundbeck at 1-800-455-1141 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of VYEPTI was evaluated in 2076 patients with migraine who received at least one dose of VYEPTI, representing 1615 patient-years of exposure; of these, 1524 patients were exposed to 100 mg or 300 mg. Across all doses, 1872 patients were exposed for at least 6 months and 991 patients were exposed for 12 months. In the placebo-controlled clinical studies (Study 1 and Study 2) of 1372 patients, 579 patients received at least one dose of VYEPTI 100 mg, 574 patients received at least one dose of VYEPTI 300 mg, and 588 patients received placebo [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Approximately 86% were female, 89% were white, and the mean age was 40.4 years at study entry. The most common (incidence at least 2% and at least 2% greater than placebo) adverse reactions in the clinical trials for the preventive treatment of migraine were nasopharyngitis and hypersensitivity. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred during Study 1 and Study 2. Table 1. Adverse Reactions Occurring with an Incidence of at Least 2% for VYEPTI and at Least 2% Greater than Placebo in Studies 1 and 2 Adverse Reactions VYEPTI 100 mg N=579% VYEPTI 300 mg N=574% Placebo N=588% Nasopharyngitis 6 8 6 Hypersensitivity reactions* 1 2 0 * Hypersensitivity reactions includes multiple related adverse event terms, such as hypersensitivity, pruritus, and flushing/hot flush that occurred on the day of dosing. In Study 1 and Study 2, 1.9% of patients treated with VYEPTI discontinued treatment because of adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . In study 3, the safety profile observed in 480 patients who were randomized and treated (238 to VYEPTI 100 mg and 242 to placebo) was consistent with the safety profile observed in the two pivotal placebo-controlled studies with VYEPTI (Study 1 and 2). 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of VYEPTI. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Immune System Disorders: Anaphylaxis [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Fatigue Vascular Disorders: Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] , Raynaud’s phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to VYEPTI during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register pregnant patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-855-810-8549 or by contacting the company at www.vyeptipregnancyregistry.lundbeck.com. Risk Summary There are no adequate data on developmental risks associated with the use of VYEPTI in pregnant women. No adverse developmental effects were observed following administration of eptinezumab-jjmr to pregnant animals at doses greater than those used clinically [see Data] . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2%-2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy. Data Animal Data When eptinezumab-jjmr (0, 75, or 150 mg/kg) was administered weekly to female rats and rabbits by intravenous injection throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed. The higher dose tested (150 mg/kg) is 30 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 300 mg, on a body weight basis (mg/kg). When eptinezumab-jjmr (0, 75, or 150 mg/kg) was administered weekly to female rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development were observed. The higher dose tested (150 mg/kg) is 30 times the MRHD, on a mg/kg basis.
