Ansuvimab

EBANGA is indicated for the treatment of infection caused by Orthoebolavirus zairense (formerly Zaire ebolavirus) in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates born to a mother who is RT-PCR positive for Orthoebolavirus zairense infection. EBANGA (ansuvimab-zykl) is an Orthoebolavirus zairense glycoprotein (EBOV GP)-directed human monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment of infection caused by Orthoebolavirus zairense in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates born to a mother who is RT-PCR positive for Orthoebolavirus zairense infection. Limitation of Use The efficacy of EBANGA has not been established for other species of the Orthoebolavirus and Orthomarburgvirus genera. Orthoebolavirus zairense can change over time, and factors such as emergence of resistance or changes in viral virulence could diminish the clinical benefit of antiviral drugs.

Ansuvimab-zykl is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody with antiviral activity against Orthoebolavirus zairense.

The recommended dose of EBANGA for adult and pediatric patients is 50 mg/kg reconstituted, further diluted, and administered as a single intravenous infusion over 60 minutes. See Full Prescribing Information for instructions on preparation, dilution and administration of EBANGA injection.

None. None.

Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Infusion-Associated Events: Hypersensitivity reactions including infusion-associated events have been reported with EBANGA. These may include acute, life- threatening reactions during and after the infusion. Monitor patients and in the case of severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, discontinue the administration of EBANGA immediately and administer appropriate emergency care.

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Infusion-Associated Events The most frequently reported adverse events (≥ 5%) after administration of EBANGA were pyrexia, tachycardia, diarrhea, vomiting, hypotension, tachypnea, and chills.

Interaction with live vaccine indicated for prevention of Orthoebolavirus zairense infection: No vaccine interaction studies have been performed. EBANGA may reduce the efficacy of the live vaccine. The interval between administration of EBANGA therapy and live vaccination should be in accordance with current vaccination guidelines.

Store refrigerated at 2ºC to 8ºC (36ºF to 46ºF) in the original carton to protect from light. Do not freeze. Do not shake. Prior to reconstitution, allow EBANGA vial(s) to reach ambient temperature (15°C to 27°C [59°F to 81°F]) for approximately 20 minutes. If for any reason reconstitution cannot proceed immediately upon reaching ambient temperature, vials that have NOT been reconstituted may be kept at ambient temperature, protected from light, for no more than 24 hours.
