2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administration of FABRAZYME should be supervised by a healthcare provider knowledgeable in the management of hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis. ( 2.1 ) The recommended dosage is 1 mg/kg body weight given every two weeks as an intravenous infusion. ( 2.2 ) See the full prescribing information for rechallenge, preparation, storage, and administration instructions. ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 ) 2.1 Recommendations Prior to FABRAZYME Treatment Administration of FABRAZYME should be supervised by a healthcare provider knowledgeable in the management of hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Initiate FABRAZYME in a healthcare setting with appropriate medical monitoring and support measures, including access to cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Prior to FABRAZYME administration, consider pretreating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2) ] . FABRAZYME must be reconstituted and diluted prior to use [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of FABRAZYME is 1 mg/kg body weight infused every two weeks as an intravenous infusion. The initial recommended infusion rate is 0.25 mg/min (15 mg/hour) [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] . 2.3 Rechallenge Instructions Patients who have had a positive skin test to FABRAZYME or who have tested positive for anti-FABRAZYME IgE may be successfully rechallenged with FABRAZYME. The initial rechallenge administration should be a low dose at a lower infusion rate, e.g., one-half the therapeutic dose (0.5 mg/kg) at 1/25 th of the initial standard recommended rate (0.01 mg/min or 0.6 mg/hr). Once a patient tolerates the infusion, the dose may be increased to reach the approved dose of 1 mg/kg and the infusion rate may be increased by slowly titrating upwards (doubled every 30 minutes up to a maximum rate of 0.25 mg/minute), as tolerated [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . 2.4 Preparation Instructions Use aseptic technique during preparation. Reconstitute and dilute FABRAZYME in the following manner: Reconstitution Instructions 1. Determine the number of 35 mg and 5 mg FABRAZYME vials to be reconstituted based on actual body weight (kg) and the recommended dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . 2. Remove the required number of 35 mg and 5 mg FABRAZYME vials from the refrigerator and allow the vials to sit for approximately 30 minutes at room temperature 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) before use. 3. Reconstitute each vial by directing the diluent down the inside wall of each vial then gently tilt and roll each vial. Use the following volumes for reconstitution: 7.2 mL of FABRAZYME Sterile Water for Injection into the 35 mg vial. Total extractable amount per vial is 35 mg, 7 mL. 1.1 mL of Sterile Water for Injection into the 5 mg vial. Total extractable amount per vial is 5 mg, 1 mL. 4. Each reconstituted vial will yield a concentration of 5 mg/mL of agalsidase beta. 5. Do not shake or agitate the product. 6. Visually inspect the reconstituted solution in the vials for particulate matter and discoloration. The reconstituted solution should be clear and colorless. Discard if visible particulate matter is present or the solution is discolored. Dilution Instructions 7. Select an appropriate size 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection infusion bag and prepare by removing a volume equal to the required FABRAZYME volume to achieve a total volume per Table 1. 8. Slowly withdraw the required volume of reconstituted solution from the FABRAZYME vial(s). Discard any unused reconstituted solution remaining in the vial.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Infusion-Associated Reactions : If a severe infusion-associated reaction occurs, discontinue FABRAZYME immediately and initiate appropriate medical treatment. ( 5.2 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in FABRAZYME-treated patients. In clinical trials and postmarketing safety experience with FABRAZYME, approximately 1% of patients developed anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity reactions. Reactions have included localized angioedema (including swelling of the face, mouth, and throat), bronchospasm, hypotension, generalized urticaria, dysphagia, rash, dyspnea, flushing, chest discomfort, pruritus, and nasal congestion. In clinical trials with FABRAZYME, 10 of 238 patients developed IgE antibodies or skin test reactivity specific to FABRAZYME. Two of six patients in the rechallenge study discontinued treatment with FABRAZYME prematurely due to recurrent infusion-associated reactions. Four serious infusion-associated reactions occurred in three patients during FABRAZYME infusions, including bronchospasm, urticaria, hypotension, and development of FABRAZYME-specific antibodies. Other infusion-associated reactions occurring in more than one patient during the study included rigors, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, and pruritus. Higher incidences of hypersensitivity reactions were observed in adult patients with persistent anti-FABRAZYME antibodies and in adult patients with high antibody titer compared to that in antibody-negative adult patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Prior to FABRAZYME administration, consider pretreating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids. Administration of FABRAZYME should be supervised by a healthcare provider knowledgeable in the management of hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis has occurred during the early course of enzyme replacement therapy and after extended duration of therapy. Initiate FABRAZYME in a healthcare setting with appropriate medical monitoring and support measures, including access to cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) occurs, discontinue FABRAZYME and immediately initiate appropriate medical treatment, including use of epinephrine. Consider the risks and benefits of re-administering FABRAZYME following severe hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis). Inform patients of the symptoms of life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and to seek immediate medical care should symptoms occur. Consider testing for IgE antibodies in FABRAZYME-treated patients who experienced severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and consider the risks and benefits of continued treatment in patients with anti-FABRAZYME IgE antibodies. There are no marketed tests for antibodies against FABRAZYME. If testing is warranted, contact Genzyme Corporation at 1-800-745-4447 [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Patients who have had a positive skin test to FABRAZYME or who have tested positive for FABRAZYME-specific IgE antibodies have been rechallenged with FABRAZYME using a rechallenge protocol. Rechallenge of these patients should only occur under the direct supervision of qualified personnel with appropriate medical monitoring and support measures readily available [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . 5.2 Infusion-Associated Reactions In clinical trials of FABRAZYME, 59% of patients experienced infusion-associated reactions (IARs) during FABRAZYME administration, some of which were severe. Infusion-associated reactions are defined as adverse reactions occurring on the same day as the infusion. The incidence of infusion-associated reactions was higher in patients who were positive for anti-FABRAZYME antibodies than in patients who were negative for anti-FABRAZYME antibodies [see Adverse Reactions …

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from a pregnancy sub-study within the Fabry Disease registry, post-marketing case reports, and case series with FABRAZYME use during pregnancy have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes (see Data ). Reproduction studies performed in rats at doses up to 68 times the human dose have revealed no evidence of effects on embryo-fetal development (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. 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 Human Data Available data from a pregnancy sub-study within the Fabry Disease registry, post-marketing case reports, and case series with FABRAZYME use during pregnancy have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In the Fabry Disease registry pregnancy sub-study, 33 pregnancies exposed to FABRAZYME prior to or during pregnancy had a known outcome; 5 were reported as exposed in the first trimester. Animal Data The effects of agalsidase beta on embryo-fetal development in rats were evaluated at doses of 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg/day (up to 68 times the human dose of 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks on a body surface area basis) during gestation days 7 to 17. Hepatocellular necrosis consistent with accumulation of test article was evident in maternal livers in the 10 and 30 mg/kg/day groups (23 and 68 times the human dose on a body surface area basis). There were no adverse effects of agalsidase beta on embryo-fetal development in rats.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infusion-Associated Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are: upper respiratory tract infection, chills, pyrexia, headache, cough, paresthesia, fatigue, peripheral edema, dizziness, and rash. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Genzyme at 1-800-633-1610 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 clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trial of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in patients in clinical practice. The data described below reflect exposure of 80 patients, ages 16 to 61 years, to 1 mg/kg FABRAZYME every two weeks in two separate double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, for periods ranging from 1 to 35 months (mean 15.5 months). All 58 patients enrolled in one of the two studies continued into an open-label extension study of FABRAZYME treatment for up to 54 additional months. Patients were treated with antipyretics and antihistamines prior to the infusions. Most Common Adverse Reactions Table 2 enumerates adverse reactions that occurred during the double-blind treatment periods of the two placebo-controlled trials (Study 1 and Study 2) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . The most common adverse reactions reported with FABRAZYME were infusion-associated reactions, (FABRAZYME 59% vs placebo 27%) some of which were severe (FABRAZYME 5.0% vs placebo 1.7%). Infusion-associated reactions are defined as adverse reactions occurring on the same day as the infusion. Common adverse reactions which occurred in ≥20% of patients treated with FABRAZYME and >2.5% compared to placebo are: upper respiratory tract infection, chills, pyrexia, headache, cough, paresthesia, fatigue, peripheral edema, dizziness and rash.
