2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Hepatitis B virus, quantitative serum immunoglobulins, and tuberculosis screening is required before the first dose. ( 2.1 ) Prior to every infusion: Determine if there is an active infection ( 2.2 , 5.2 ) Premedicate with a corticosteroid, an antihistamine, and an antipyretic ( 2.2 , 5.1 ) UPLIZNA must be diluted in 250 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP prior to administration. ( 2.3 , 2.4 ) UPLIZNA is administered as an intravenous infusion titrated to completion, approximately 90 minutes. The recommended dose is: Initial dose: 300 mg intravenous infusion followed two weeks later by a second 300 mg intravenous infusion. Subsequent doses (starting 6 months from the first infusion): single 300 mg intravenous infusion every 6 months. ( 2.3 ) Monitor patients closely during the infusion and for at least one hour after completion of the infusion. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Assessments Prior to First Dose of UPLIZNA Hepatitis B Virus Screening Prior to initiating UPLIZNA, perform Hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening. UPLIZNA is contraindicated in patients with active HBV confirmed by positive results for surface antigen [HBsAg] and anti-HBV tests. For patients who are negative for HBsAg and positive for HB core antibody [HBcAb+] or are carriers of HBV [HBsAg+], consult liver disease experts before starting and during treatment with UPLIZNA [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Serum Immunoglobulins Prior to initiating UPLIZNA, perform testing for quantitative serum immunoglobulins. For patients with low serum immunoglobulins, consult immunology experts before initiating treatment with UPLIZNA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. Tuberculosis Screening Prior to initiating UPLIZNA, evaluate for active tuberculosis and test for latent infection. For patients with active tuberculosis or positive tuberculosis screening without a history of appropriate treatment, consult infectious disease experts before initiating treatment with UPLIZNA [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Vaccinations Because vaccination with live-attenuated or live vaccines is not recommended during treatment and after discontinuation until B-cell repletion, administer all immunizations according to immunization guidelines at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of UPLIZNA for live or live-attenuated vaccines [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. 2.2 Assessment and Premedication Before Every Infusion Infection Assessment Prior to every infusion of UPLIZNA, determine whether there is an active infection. In case of active infection, delay infusion of UPLIZNA until the infection resolves [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Premedication Table 1 shows premedication to administer prior to each infusion of UPLIZNA to reduce the frequency and severity of infusion reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Table 1. Premedication Prior to Each UPLIZNA Infusion Type of Premedication Route of Administration Examples (or Equivalent) Administration Time Prior to UPLIZNA Infusion corticosteroid intravenous methylprednisolone 80 mg to 125 mg 30 minutes antihistamine oral diphenhydramine 25 mg to 50 mg 30 to 60 minutes antipyretic oral acetaminophen 500 mg to 650 mg 30 to 60 minutes 2.3 Recommended Dosage and Administration NMOSD, IgG4-RD, and gMG UPLIZNA is administered as an intravenous infusion (see Table 2 ). The recommended dosage is: Initial dose: 300 mg intravenous infusion followed 2 weeks later by a second 300 mg intravenous infusion. Subsequent doses (starting 6 months from the first infusion): single 300 mg intravenous infusion every 6 months. Administration UPLIZNA must be diluted prior to administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. Prior to the start of the intravenous infusion, the prepared infusion solution should be at room temperature. Administer UPLIZNA under the close supervision of an experienced healthcare professional with access to ap…

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Infusion reactions: Administer premedications prior to infusion. ( 2.2 ) Management recommendations for infusion reactions depend on the type and severity of the reaction. Permanently discontinue UPLIZNA if a life-threatening or disabling infusion reaction occurs. ( 5.1 ) Infections: Serious, including life-threatening and fatal infections, have occurred in patients treated with B-cell depleting therapies, including UPLIZNA. Delay UPLIZNA administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved. Vaccination with live-attenuated or live vaccines is not recommended during treatment and after discontinuation, until B-cell repletion. ( 5.2 ) Immunoglobulin levels: Monitor the level of immunoglobulins at the beginning, during, and after discontinuation of treatment with UPLIZNA until B-cell repletion. Consider discontinuing UPLIZNA if a patient develops a serious opportunistic infection or recurrent infections if immunoglobulin levels indicate immune compromise. ( 5.3 ) Fetal Risk: May cause fetal harm based on animal data. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective method of contraception during treatment and for 6 months after stopping UPLIZNA. ( 5.4 , 8.1 ) 5.1 Infusion Reactions UPLIZNA can cause infusion reactions, including anaphylaxis. Symptoms of infusion reactions can include headache, nausea, somnolence, dyspnea, fever, myalgia, rash, or palpitations. Infusion reactions were observed in 9.3%, 7.4%, and 10.1% of patients treated with UPLIZNA during the randomized controlled periods of Study 1 in patients with NMOSD, Study 2 in patients with IgG4-RD, and Study 3 in patients with gMG, respectively. Infusion reactions were most common with the first infusion but were also observed during subsequent infusions. Reducing the Risk of Infusion Reactions and Managing Infusion Reactions Administer pre-medication with a corticosteroid, an antihistamine, and an antipyretic [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Management recommendations for infusion reactions depend on the type and severity of the reaction . For life-threatening infusion reactions, immediately and permanently stop UPLIZNA and administer appropriate supportive treatment. For less severe infusion reactions, management may involve temporarily stopping the infusion, reducing the infusion rate, and/or administering symptomatic treatment. 5.2 Infections Serious, including life-threatening or fatal, bacterial, fungal, and new or reactivated viral infections have been observed during and following completion of treatment with B-cell depleting therapies, including UPLIZNA. The most common infections reported by UPLIZNA-treated patients in the randomized and open-label clinical trial periods for NMOSD included urinary tract infection (20%), nasopharyngitis (13%), upper respiratory tract infection (8%), and influenza (7%). In the IgG4-RD randomized controlled and open-label periods, the most common infections reported by UPLIZNA-treated patients were upper respiratory tract infection (11%), nasopharyngitis (10%), urinary tract infection (9%), and influenza (6%). In the gMG randomized controlled period, the most common infections reported by UPLIZNA-treated patients were urinary tract infection (7%) and nasopharyngitis (7%). Delay UPLIZNA administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved. Possible Increased Risk of Immunosuppressant Effects with Other Immunosuppressants If combining UPLIZNA with another immunosuppressive therapy, consider the potential for increased immunosuppressive effects. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Reactivation HBV reactivation has been observed with the use of B-cell depleting therapies, including UPLIZNA. Fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death caused by HBV reactivation have occurred in patients treated with B-cell depleting therapies. HBV reactivation was observed in a patient treated with UPLIZNA during the…

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS UPLIZNA is contraindicated in patients with: A history of a life-threatening infusion reaction to UPLIZNA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Active hepatitis B infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Active or untreated latent tuberculosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Previous life-threatening reaction to infusion of UPLIZNA ( 4 ) Active hepatitis B infection ( 4 ) Active or untreated latent tuberculosis ( 4 )

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Immunosuppressive or Immune-Modulating Therapies Concomitant usage of UPLIZNA with immunosuppressant drugs, including systemic corticosteroids, may increase the risk of infection. Consider the risk of additive immune system effects when co-administering immunosuppressive therapies with UPLIZNA.

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to UPLIZNA during pregnancy or shortly before conception. Healthcare providers are encouraged to advise their patients to register by contacting the UPLIZNA Pregnancy Registry by calling the coordinating center at 1 (303) 724-4644 or www.upliznapregnancyregistry.com. Risk Summary UPLIZNA is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody and immunoglobulins are known to cross the placental barrier. There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of UPLIZNA in pregnant women. However, transient peripheral B-cell depletion and lymphocytopenia have been reported in infants born to mothers exposed to other B-cell depleting antibodies during pregnancy. B-cell levels in infants following maternal exposure to UPLIZNA have not been studied in clinical trials. The potential duration of B-cell depletion in such infants, and the impact of B-cell depletion on vaccine safety and effectiveness, is unknown [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. 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 Animal Data Intravenous administration of inebilizumab-cdon (0, 3, or 30 mg/kg/week) to human CD19 transgenic (huCD19 Tg) male and female mice prior to and during mating and continuing in females through gestation day 15 resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development; however, there was a marked reduction in B-cells in fetal blood and liver at both doses tested. These results demonstrate that inebilizumab-cdon crosses the placenta and depletes B-cells in the fetus. Intravenous administration of inebilizumab-cdon (0, 3, or 30 mg/kg) to huCD19 Tg mice every three days throughout organogenesis and lactation resulted in depletion of B-cells and persistent reductions in immune function (even following repletion of B-cells and lasting into adulthood) in offspring at both doses tested. At the end of the lactation period, plasma inebilizumab-cdon levels in offspring were only slightly lower than those in maternal plasma. A no-effect level for immunotoxicity in the offspring was not identified.
