positive factors [20:<20 units/kg; efficacy of 10-unit/kg dose not established. 21 22 Cautions for Cinryze Contraindications Known life-threatening hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to C1-esterase inhibitor (human) or any ingredient in the formulation. 1 21 Warnings/Precautions Warnings Thrombotic Events Risk of thromboembolic events (e.g., MI, cerebrovascular accident, DVT, PE); reported in association with recommended as well as with higher than recommended (e.g., 100 units/kg) doses. 1 17 21 28 Closely monitor patients with known risk factors for thrombosis. 1 21 Risk of Transmissible Agents in Plasma-derived Preparations Potential vehicle for transmission of human viruses (e.g., HIV, hepatitis A virus [HAV], HBV, HCV, parvovirus B19) or other infectious agents (e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [CJD]). 1 9 12 13 21 Risk substantially reduced with current donor screening practices and viral inactivating procedures; however, possibility of disease transmission still exists. 1 12 15 19 21 Although cases of suspected viral transmission (including HCV) have been reported with use of Berinert outside the US, manufacturer states no causal relationship to the drug has been established since introduction of a pasteurization step in 1985. 21 Weigh risks of viral infection against benefits of therapy. 1 12 21 Some experts recommend that patients who receive long-term treatment with blood products be vaccinated against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. 12 13 Report any suspected infections thought to be associated with C1-esterase inhibitor (human) to the manufacturer. 1 21 Laryngeal Attacks Because of potential for airway obstruction, patients who self-administer C1-esterase inhibitor (human) for treatment of a laryngeal attack should seek immediate medical attention in an appropriate healthcare facility after the drug is administered. 21 Immunogenicity Potential for immunogenicity with use of all therapeutic proteins, including C1-esterase inhibitor (human). 1 Development of noninhibitory antibodies to C1-esterase inhibitor (human) reported in clinical trials; however, clinically important effects not observed. 1 38 39 Sensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity Risk of severe hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., hives, urticaria, chest tightness, wheezing, hypotension, anaphylaxis). 1 21 If hypersensitivity occurs, discontinue drug immediately and initiate appropriate treatment. 1 21 Because symptoms of hypersensitivity can resemble acute attacks of hereditary angioedema, carefully consider treatment method. 1 21 Epinephrine should be available for immediate use. 1 21 Specific Populations Pregnancy Category C. 1 21 Lactation Not known whether C1-esterase inhibitor (human) is distributed into milk. 1 21 Use with caution and only if clearly needed. 1 21 Pediatric Use Safety and efficacy of Cinryze not established in neonates, infants, and children> <13 years of age; use in adolescents 13 18 years of age supported by data from approval study. 1 20 Safety and efficacy of Berinert not established in pediatric patients 12 years of age, although used successfully for the treatment of acute HAE attacks in a limited number of children as young as 6 years of age. 21 25 37 Geriatric Use Insufficient experience in patients 65 years of age to determine whether geriatric patients respond differently than younger patients. 1 21 Hepatic Impairment Pharmacokinetics not evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment. 1 21 Renal Impairment Pharmacokinetics not evaluated in patients with renal impairment. 1 21 Common Adverse Effects Headache, 1 21 22 33 nausea, 1 21 22 rash, 1 vomiting, 1 22 dysgeusia, 21 abdominal pain. 21 22 33 Interactions for Cinryze No formal drug interaction studies to date. 1 21 Cinryze Pharmacokinetics Absorption Onset Plasma concentrations of C1-esterase inhibitor increase immediately (i.e., within 1 hour) following IV administration; C4 levels subsequently rise 2 24 hours later, indicating consumption of C1-esterase inhibitor and stabilization of the complement activation system. 1 5 6 8 15 Plasma Concentrations Peak plasma concentrations attained in approximately 4 hours following a single 1000-unit dose of Cinryze . 1 8 Distribution Extent Not known whether C1-esterase inhibitor is distributed into milk. 1 Elimination Half-life Cinryze : Mean half-life about 56 hours (range 11 108 hours) following a single 1000-unit dose in asymptomatic patients. 1 8 Berinert : Following administration of single doses (500 1500 units) in patients with mild to severe HAE, half-life approximately 18 hours in adults and 17 hours in pediatric patients 6 13 years of age. 21 Difference in half-life observed between Cinryze and Berinert may be due to differences in patient populations evaluated (e.g., asymptomatic versus symptomatic). 34 Special Populations Limited data on Berinert suggest that half-life of C1-esterase inhibitor (human) may be decreased and clearance increased in pediatric patients> <12 years of age compared with adults; clinical importance of such findings not known. 21 Stability Storage Parenteral Powder for Injection 2 25 C; do not freeze. 1 21 Store in original container and protect from light. 1 21 May store reconstituted solutions at room temperature for up to 3 hours (Cinryze ) or up to 8 hours (Berinert ); do not refrigerate or freeze. 1 21 Actions Naturally occurring serine protease inhibitor that principally regulates the activation of the complement and intrinsic coagulation (e.g., contact system) pathways. 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 19 21 Also plays a role in the fibrinolytic system. 1 2 6 8 12 21 Regulates contact system activation by inhibiting plasma kallikrein and coagulation factor XIIa; such actions prevent formation of bradykinin, the presumed mediator of increased vascular permeability in HAE. 1 2 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 13 21 Blocks both the spontaneous activation of C1 complement and formation of activated C1 complement, suppressing the classical complement pathway. 1 6 7 12 21 Also exhibits inhibitory effects on plasmin. 4 11 12 Binds to and forms irreversible complexes with target protease; the complexes are then inactivated and removed from circulation. 1 6 7 8 11 21 Preparation of highly purified C1-esterase inhibitor derived from pooled human plasma. 1 8 19 21 Undergoes a series of viral reduction steps (e.g., pasteurization, precipitation, nanofiltration, chromatography) to reduce risk of viral transmission. 1 8 19 21 Advice to Patients Importance of discussing potential risks and benefits of therapy with the patient prior to prescribing or administering the drug. 1 21 Importance of clinicians providing clear instructions and training on proper IV administration technique to patients self-administering C1-esterase inhibitor (human). 21 Advise patients to record the lot number of the C1-esterase inhibitor (human) vial used each time they self-administer the drug. 1 21 Importance of patients not starting self-administration if an HAE attack has progressed to a point where the patient or caregiver is unable to successfully prepare or administer the drug. 21 After self-administering the drug to treat an acute laryngeal attack of HAE, importance of seeking immediate medical attention in an appropriate healthcare facility because of the potential for airway obstruction during such attacks. 21 After self-administering the drug to treat a suspected abdominal HAE attack, importance of contacting clinician to rule out the possibility of other potentially serious causes. 21 Risk of transmission of human viruses (i.e., HAV, HBV, HCV, HIV, parvovirus B19) and other infectious agents (i.e., causative agent for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). 1 12 21 Advise patient that current donor screening and viral inactivating procedures have reduced, but not completely eliminated, the risk of disease transmission. 1 Importance of discontinuing therapy and immediately informing clinician if any signs or symptoms of hypersensitivity (e.g., rash, hives, chest tightness, wheezing, hypotension, anaphylaxis) occur. 1 21 Risk of thrombotic events; advise patients to immediately report any signs and symptoms of thrombosis (e.g., new-onset swelling and pain in the limbs or abdomen; new-onset chest pain; shortness of breath; loss of sensation or motor ability; altered consciousness, vision, or speech). 21 Advise patients to bring an adequate supply of C1-esterase inhibitor (human) while traveling and to consult a clinician prior to travel. 1 21 Advise patients to bring their drug with them when visiting a healthcare provider or facility for an acute HAE attack. 21 Importance of women informing clinicians if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed. 1 21 Importance of informing clinicians of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs, as well as any concomitant illnesses. 1 21 Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information. 1 21 (See Cautions.)
