CONTRAINDICATIONS

ENTYVIO is contraindicated in patients who have had a known serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction to ENTYVIO or any of its excipients.

Please listen for additional Important Safety Information during this video.

The following chapters—reconstitution, dilution, and administration—will explain the steps for the proper use of ENTYVIO intravenous infusion. ENTYVIO should be administered by a healthcare professional prepared to manage hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis. Appropriate monitoring and medical support measures should be available for immediate use. Observe patients during infusion and until the infusion is complete.

Chapter 1: Reconstitution

Remove from 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) storage and allow vial to equilibrate to room temperature. Remove the flip-off cap from the single-dose vial and wipe with alcohol swab.

Reconstitute ENTYVIO vial containing lyophilized powder with 4.8 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, or Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP, at room temperature 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) using a syringe with a 21- to 25-gauge needle.

Insert the syringe needle into the vial through the center of the stopper and direct the stream of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, or Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP, to the glass wall of the vial to avoid excessive foaming.

Gently swirl the vial for at least 15 seconds to dissolve the lyophilized powder. Do not vigorously shake or invert.

Allow the solution to sit for up to 20 minutes at room temperature to allow for reconstitution and for any foam to settle; the vial can be swirled and inspected for dissolution during this time. If not fully dissolved after 20 minutes, allow another 10 minutes for dissolution.

Do not use the vial if the drug product is not dissolved within 30 minutes.

Visually inspect the reconstituted ENTYVIO solution for particulate matter and discoloration prior to dilution. Solution should be clear or opalescent, colorless to light brownish yellow and free of visible particulates. Do not administer reconstituted solution showing uncharacteristic color or containing particulates.

Prior to withdrawing the reconstituted ENTYVIO solution from the vial, gently invert vial three times.

Immediately withdraw 5 mL (300 mg) of reconstituted ENTYVIO solution using a syringe with a 21- to 25-gauge needle. Discard any remaining portion of the reconstituted solution in the vial.

Chapter 2: Dilution

Add the 5 mL (300 mg) of reconstituted ENTYVIO solution to 250 mL of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection or sterile Lactated Ringer’s Injection, and gently mix the infusion bag. Do not add other medicinal products to the prepared infusion solution or intravenous infusion set.

Once reconstituted and diluted, use the infusion solution as soon as possible. If necessary, the infusion solution may be stored.

Specific storage conditions and timing for the reconstituted solution in vial and diluted solution in the infusion bag are outlined in Table 1 of the full Prescribing Information.

Do not freeze the reconstituted solution in the vial or the diluted solution in the infusion bag. Discard any unused portion of the infusion solution.

Chapter 3: Administration

Administer ENTYVIO as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes.

After the infusion is complete, flush with 30 mL of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection or sterile Lactated Ringer’s Injection.

The recommended dosage of ENTYVIO in adults with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease is 300 mg administered by intravenous infusion. Depending on how maintenance therapy is administered, dosing schedules can vary. For patients on intravenous infusion maintenance therapy, administer ENTYVIO at 0, 2, and 6 weeks, and then every 8 weeks thereafter. For UC patients continuing on subcutaneous maintenance therapy, administer ENTYVIO by intravenous infusion at 0 and 2 weeks before transitioning to subcutaneous ENTYVIO. Please see the dosing and administration section of the full Prescribing Information for more detail.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

ENTYVIO is contraindicated in patients who have had a known serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction to ENTYVIO or any of its excipients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • Infusion-Related and Hypersensitivity Reactions: Infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, flushing, rash, and increased blood pressure and heart rate have been reported. These reactions may occur with the first or subsequent infusions and may vary in their time of onset from during infusion or up to several hours post-infusion. If anaphylaxis or other serious infusion-related or hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue administration of ENTYVIO immediately and initiate appropriate treatment.
  • Infections: Patients treated with ENTYVIO are at increased risk for developing infections. Serious infections have been reported in patients treated with ENTYVIO, including anal abscess, sepsis (some fatal), tuberculosis, salmonella sepsis, Listeria meningitis, giardiasis, and cytomegaloviral colitis. ENTYVIO is not recommended in patients with active, severe infections until the infections are controlled. Consider withholding ENTYVIO in patients who develop a severe infection while on treatment with ENTYVIO. Exercise caution in patients with a history of recurring severe infections. Consider screening for tuberculosis (TB) according to the local practice.
  • Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML): PML, a rare and often fatal opportunistic infection of the central nervous system (CNS), has been reported with systemic immunosuppressants, including another integrin receptor antagonist. PML typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised. One case of PML in an ENTYVIO-treated patient with multiple contributory factors has been reported. Although unlikely, a risk of PML cannot be ruled out. Monitor patients for any new or worsening neurological signs or symptoms that may include progressive weakness on one side of the body or clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, and changes in thinking, memory, and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes. If PML is suspected, withhold dosing with ENTYVIO and refer to neurologist; if confirmed, discontinue ENTYVIO dosing permanently.
  • Liver Injury: There have been reports of elevations of transaminase and/or bilirubin in patients receiving ENTYVIO. ENTYVIO should be discontinued in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury.
  • Live and Oral Vaccines: Prior to initiating treatment with ENTYVIO, all patients should be brought up to date with all immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Patients receiving ENTYVIO may receive non-live vaccines and may receive live vaccines if the benefits outweigh the risks.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3% and ≥1% higher than placebo) were: nasopharyngitis, headache, arthralgia, nausea, pyrexia, upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue, cough, bronchitis, influenza, back pain, rash, pruritus, sinusitis, oropharyngeal pain, pain in extremities, and injection site reactions with subcutaneous administration.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Because of the potential for increased risk of PML and other infections, avoid the concomitant use of ENTYVIO with natalizumab products and with TNF blockers. Upon initiation or discontinuation of ENTYVIO in patients treated with CYP450 substrates, monitor drug concentrations or other therapeutic parameters, and adjust the dosage of the CYP substrate as needed.

Please listen for additional Important Safety Information during this video.

JEN: Hi, I’m Jen, an advanced practice provider. I assist patients with certain medications and today I'm here with Sam, one of my patients. We’ll be talking about the ENTYVIO pen and its instructions for use. It is designed to deliver an accurate, premeasured dose of medication. I’ll explain each step in 3 chapters, including gathering supplies for ENTYVIO, preparing to inject ENTYVIO, and injecting ENTYVIO.

Ok, are you ready to get started?

SAM: I sure am.

JEN: Great.

JEN: Let’s get started by getting supplies ready for your patient. First, you’ll want to take ENTYVIO from the fridge. Remember, you want to keep ENTYVIO refrigerated between 36°F and 46°F.

You’ll want to check the box to make sure none of the seals are broken. Do not use the pen if any of the seals on the box are broken.

SAM: OK, but what if it’s expired?

JEN: Yes, check that too. Do not use the pen if it is past the expiration date on the box or if it has been frozen.

Now, wait 30 minutes and let your pen come to room temperature.

Remember Sam, do not warm the pen in any other way or place it in direct sunlight. And keep the pen in its tray until you’re ready to inject.

SAM: OK, got it.

So should we prepare my supplies?

JEN: Yes, let’s get started.

SAM: OK.

JEN: We’ve placed all of our supplies on a flat, clean surface before the injection.

We’ve got alcohol pads, cotton balls...

SAM: Would gauze work as well?

JEN: Yes, gauze also works if you don’t have a cotton ball. And you’ll also need a sharps disposal container.

Now we can prepare your patient to inject ENTYVIO. Whenever you inject ENTYVIO, you want to make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Next, we’ll open the box and remove the pen and tray. Now we can peel the paper from the tray and lift the pen straight out. Remember, do not shake the pen, and do not remove the purple cap until you're ready to inject.

Inspect the pen. Just like checking the box, you will also want to double-check the expiration date on the pen hasn’t passed.

SAM: It looks good, it’s not past the expiration date.

JEN: Great. Now, let’s take a look at the medication window. Do you see any cloudiness or particles?

SAM: No, I don’t.

JEN: Excellent. Do not use the pen if the medicine is cloudy or has particles floating in it.

Now we’ll choose an injection site. You have a few options, but the front of the thighs or stomach areas are ideal. With a caregiver like me helping, you can also consider using the back of the upper arms. When injecting into the stomach, remember to avoid the area about 2 inches around your belly button.

SAM: What about injecting into the same spot twice in a row?

JEN: Good question. Do not inject into the same spot you used for your last injection. You want to rotate injection sites as often as you can. Also do not inject into moles, scars, bruises, or skin that is tender, hard, red, or damaged.

Now you’ll want to use the alcohol pad you gathered earlier to clean the injection site. Make sure to let your skin dry, and do not touch or blow on the cleaned injection site before injection. And now it’s time to inject ENTYVIO.

When you are ready to inject, remove the purple cap from the ENTYVIO pen and throw it away in the sharps container.

SAM: Where’s the needle?

JEN: The needle is in the yellow needle shield.

Remember, do not put or press your thumb, fingers, or hand over the yellow needle shield. And, do not put the purple cap back on the pen because this could accidentally start the injection.

SAM: Got it.

JEN: Now hold the pen so that you can see the viewing window. Next place the yellow part of the pen flat on your skin at 90 degrees to the injection site. Remember, the needle is in the yellow needle shield so do not push down on the pen until you are ready to inject.

SAM: OK.

JEN: Now we’re going to start injecting ENTYVIO. Push the pen straight down and hold for at least 10 seconds. You may hear a first click when the injection starts. You may also hear a second click. But this is not the end of the injection. Continue to hold the pen with constant pressure until the viewing window fills with purple to make sure that you have received your full dose.

Lift the pen from your skin and the yellow needle shield will drop down and lock over the needle. The injection is now complete. However, when you lift the pen from the skin, you will see a small amount of gray in the viewing window. This is normal. But if you do not see the viewing window fill with purple, or if you look and the medicine is still coming out of the pen, this means you have not received your full dose. Call your pharmacy or healthcare provider right away.

SAM: OK.

JEN: And we’re all set. Great job, Sam. We’ve completed your injection of ENTYVIO. You may see a small amount of blood at the injection site. If you do, just press your skin with a cotton ball or gauze.

Now it’s time to throw away the ENTYVIO pen. Many specialty pharmacies have programs that can give patients FDA-cleared sharps disposal containers. When you’re done with your pens, drop them in the FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use.

SAM: Can’t I just throw it in my regular trash bin?

JEN: No, do not recycle it or throw away the pen in your household trash. Always use an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container.

SAM: But what if I don’t have one?

JEN: You can use anything made of heavy-duty plastic that can be closed with a tight seal.

It should also have a puncture-resistant lid that can prevent sharps from coming out. It should be stable and leak resistant. Label it with a warning of hazardous waste inside. You can use an empty laundry detergent container or something similar.

SAM: OK. I like that option.

JEN: Do you have any additional questions for me, Sam?

SAM: What happens if I plan on traveling?

JEN: Actually, your pen can be left in its box at room temperature for up to 7 days. So, you can travel with it.

SAM: Oh, wow. That’s good to know. Okay, I think I am all set.

JEN: Great. Now you know how to inject ENTYVIO and you are fully prepared for your next dose.
