Dosage and administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION OCREVUS ZUNOVO should be administered by a healthcare professional ( 2.1 ) For subcutaneous use in the abdomen only ( 2.1 ) OCREVUS ZUNOVO has different dosage and administration instructions than intravenous ocrelizumab ( 2.1 ) Before initiating OCREVUS ZUNOVO, screen for Hepatitis B virus and obtain serum quantitative immunoglobulins, aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin ( 2.2 ) Pre-medicate orally with dexamethasone (or an equivalent corticosteroid) and an antihistamine (e.g., desloratadine) at least 30 minutes prior to each injection ( 2.3 ) Administer 23 mL of OCREVUS ZUNOVO (920 mg ocrelizumab and 23,000 units hyaluronidase) subcutaneously in the abdomen over approximately 10 minutes every 6 months ( 2.4 ) Monitor patients closely during all injections, for at least one hour after the initial injection, and for at least 15 minutes after subsequent injections ( 2.4 ) 2.1 Important Administration Information OCREVUS ZUNOVO is for subcutaneous use in the abdomen only. OCREVUS ZUNOVO has different dosage and administration instructions than intravenous ocrelizumab. OCREVUS ZUNOVO should be administered via subcutaneous injection by a healthcare professional. 2.2 Assessments Prior to First Dose of OCREVUS ZUNOVO Hepatitis B Virus Screening Prior to initiating ocrelizumab treatment, perform Hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening. OCREVUS ZUNOVO is contraindicated in patients with active HBV confirmed by positive results for HBsAg and anti-HBV tests. For patients who are negative for surface antigen [HBsAg] and positive for HB core antibody [HBcAb+] or are carriers of HBV [HBsAg+], consult liver disease experts before starting and during treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Serum Immunoglobulins Prior to initiating ocrelizumab treatment, perform testing for quantitative serum immunoglobulins [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] . For patients with low serum immunoglobulins, consult immunology experts before initiating treatment with ocrelizumab. 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 ocrelizumab treatment for live or live-attenuated vaccines and, whenever possible, at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of ocrelizumab treatment for non-live vaccines [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Liver Function Tests Prior to initiating OCREVUS ZUNOVO, obtain serum aminotransferases (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin levels [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] . 2.3 Assessments and Premedication Prior to Every Dose Infection Assessment Prior to every dose of OCREVUS ZUNOVO, determine whether there is an active infection. In case of active infection, delay administration of OCREVUS ZUNOVO until the infection resolves [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Recommended Premedication Pre-medicate orally with 20 mg of dexamethasone (or an equivalent corticosteroid) and an antihistamine (e.g., desloratadine) administered at least 30 minutes prior to each OCREVUS ZUNOVO administration to reduce the risk of local and systemic injection reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . The addition of an antipyretic (e.g., acetaminophen) may also be considered. 2.4 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of OCREVUS ZUNOVO is 920 mg/23,000 units (920 mg ocrelizumab and 23,000 units of hyaluronidase) administered as a single 23 mL subcutaneous injection in the abdomen over approximately 10 minutes every 6 months. Monitor the patient closely during injections, with access to appropriate medical support to manage severe injection reactions . For the initial dose, monitor the patient for at least one hour post-injection. For subsequent doses, monitor the patient for at le…
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Injection Reactions: Management recommendations for injection reactions depend on the type and severity of the reaction. Permanently discontinue OCREVUS ZUNOVO if a life-threatening injection reaction occurs ( 4 , 5.1 ) Infections: Serious, including life-threatening and fatal, infections have occurred in patients treated with ocrelizumab. Delay OCREVUS ZUNOVO administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved. Vaccination with live-attenuated or live vaccines is not recommended during treatment with OCREVUS ZUNOVO and after discontinuation, until B-cell repletion ( 5.2 ) Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML): Withhold OCREVUS ZUNOVO at the first sign or symptom suggestive of PML ( 5.3 ) Reduction in Immunoglobulins: Monitor the level of immunoglobulins at the beginning of treatment. Monitor during and after discontinuation of treatment with OCREVUS ZUNOVO, until B-cell repletion, and especially when recurrent serious infections are suspected. Consider discontinuing OCREVUS ZUNOVO in patients with serious opportunistic or recurrent serious infections, and if prolonged hypogammaglobulinemia requires treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins ( 2.1 , 5.4 ) Malignancies: An increased risk of malignancy, including breast cancer, may exist with OCREVUS ZUNOVO ( 5.5 ) Immune-Mediated Colitis: Immune-mediated colitis has been reported in the postmarketing setting. Monitor patients for new or persistent diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, and evaluate promptly if colitis is suspected ( 5.6 ) Liver Injury: Clinically significant liver injury has occurred. Obtain serum aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin levels before initiating OCREVUS ZUNOVO, and during treatment as clinically indicated. Discontinue OCREVUS ZUNOVO in patients with evidence of liver injury in the absence of an alternative etiology ( 5.7 ) 5.1 Injection Reactions OCREVUS ZUNOVO can cause injection reactions, which can be local or systemic. Common symptoms of local injection reactions reported by patients treated with OCREVUS ZUNOVO in multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical trials included erythema, pain, swelling, and pruritus. Common symptoms of systemic injection reactions reported by patients included headache and nausea. In an open-label, active-controlled trial, injection reactions were more frequently reported with the first injection; 49% of patients experienced an injection reaction with the first injection [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In MS clinical trials where ocrelizumab was administered intravenously, the incidence of infusion reactions in patients [who received methylprednisolone (or an equivalent steroid) and possibly other premedication to reduce the risk of infusion reactions prior to infusion] was 34% to 40%, with the highest incidence with the first infusion. There were no fatal infusion reactions, but 0.3% of intravenous ocrelizumab-treated MS patients experienced infusion reactions that were serious, some requiring hospitalization. Symptoms of infusion reactions can include pruritus, rash, urticaria, erythema, bronchospasm, throat irritation, oropharyngeal pain, dyspnea, pharyngeal or laryngeal edema, flushing, hypotension, pyrexia, fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, tachycardia, and anaphylaxis. Monitor patients during and after injections [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Inform patients that injection reactions can occur during or within 24 hours of the injection. Reducing the Risk of Injection Reactions and Managing Injection Reactions Administer oral premedication (e.g., dexamethasone or an equivalent corticosteroid, and an antihistamine) at least 30 minutes prior to each OCREVUS ZUNOVO injection to reduce the risk of injection reactions. The addition of an antipyretic (e.g., acetaminophen) may also be considered [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. Management recommendations for injection reactions depend on the type and severity of th…

Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Immunosuppressive or Immune-Modulating Therapies The concomitant use of OCREVUS ZUNOVO and other immune-modulating or immunosuppressive therapies, including immunosuppressant doses of corticosteroids, is expected to increase the risk of immunosuppression. Consider the risk of additive immune system effects when coadministering immunosuppressive therapies with OCREVUS ZUNOVO. When switching from drugs with prolonged immune effects, such as daclizumab, fingolimod, natalizumab, teriflunomide, or mitoxantrone, consider the duration and mode of action of these drugs because of additive immunosuppressive effects when initiating OCREVUS ZUNOVO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. 7.2 Vaccinations A Phase 3b randomized, open-label study examined the concomitant use of intravenous ocrelizumab and several non-live vaccines in adults 18-55 years of age with relapsing forms of MS (68 subjects undergoing treatment with intravenous ocrelizumab at the time of vaccination and 34 subjects not undergoing treatment with intravenous ocrelizumab at the time of vaccination). Concomitant exposure to intravenous ocrelizumab attenuated antibody responses to tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine, pneumococcal polysaccharide, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, and seasonal inactivated influenza vaccines. The impact of the observed attenuation on vaccine effectiveness in this patient population is unknown. The safety and effectiveness of live or live-attenuated vaccines administered concomitantly with ocrelizumab have not been assessed [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary OCREVUS ZUNOVO is a humanized monoclonal antibody of an immunoglobulin G1 subtype and immunoglobulins are known to cross the placental barrier. There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with use of OCREVUS ZUNOVO or ocrelizumab-containing products in pregnant women. However, transient peripheral B-cell depletion and lymphocytopenia have been reported in infants born to mothers exposed to other anti-CD20 antibodies during pregnancy. B-cell levels in infants following maternal exposure to OCREVUS ZUNOVO or ocrelizumab-containing products 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) ] . Following administration of ocrelizumab to pregnant monkeys at doses similar to or greater than those used clinically, increased perinatal mortality, depletion of B-cell populations, and renal, bone marrow, and testicular toxicity were observed in the offspring in the absence of maternal toxicity [see Data ] . 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. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Data Animal Data OCREVUS ZUNOVO for subcutaneous injection contains ocrelizumab and hyaluronidase [see Description (11) ]. Ocrelizumab: - Following intravenous administration of ocrelizumab to monkeys during organogenesis (loading doses of 15 or 75 mg/kg on gestation days 20, 21, and 22, followed by weekly doses of 20 or 100 mg/kg), depletion of B-lymphocytes in lymphoid tissue (spleen and lymph nodes) was observed in fetuses at both doses. - Intravenous administration of ocrelizumab (three daily loading doses of 15 or 75 mg/kg, followed by weekly doses of 20 or 100 mg/kg) to pregnant monkeys throughout the period of organogenesis and continuing through the neonatal period resulted in perinatal deaths (some associated with bacterial infections), renal toxicity (glomerulopathy and inflammation), lymphoid follicle formation in the bone marrow, and severe decreases in circulating B-lymphocytes in neonates. The cause of the neonatal deaths is uncertain; however, both affected neonates were found to have bacterial infections. Reduced testicular weight was observed in neonates at the high dose. - A no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects was not identified; the doses tested in monkey are 2 and 10 times the recommended human dose of 600 mg intravenous ocrelizumab, on a mg/kg basis. Hyaluronidase: - In an embryo-fetal study, mice were dosed daily by subcutaneous injection during the period of organogenesis with hyaluronidase (human recombinant) at dose levels up to 2,200,000 U/kg, which is > 5,700 times higher than the human dose. The study found no evidence of teratogenicity. Reduced fetal weight and increased numbers of fetal resorptions were observed, with no effects found at a daily dose of 360,000 U/kg, which is > 940 times higher than the human dose. - In a pre-and postnatal development study, mice have been dosed daily by subcutaneous injection, with hyaluronidase (human recombinant) from implantation through lactation and weaning at dose levels up to 1,100,000 U/kg, which is > 2,800 times higher than the human dose. The study found no adverse effects on sexual maturation, learning and memory, or fertility of the offspring.

The safety of ocrelizumab has been evaluated in active-controlled clinical trials of ocrelizumab administered intravenously in patients with relapsing forms of MS (RMS) (Study 1 and Study 2) [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] and primary progressive MS (PPMS) (Study 3) [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] , and in an open-label, active-controlled trial of OCREVUS ZUNOVO administered subcutaneously in patients with RMS and PPMS (Study 4) [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ] . Adverse Reactions With Ocrelizumab Intravenous in Patients With RMS and PPMS The safety of intravenous ocrelizumab has been evaluated in 1311 patients across the MS clinical studies, which included 825 patients in active-controlled clinical trials in patients with RMS and 486 patients in a placebo-controlled study in patients with PPMS. RMS In active-controlled intravenous ocrelizumab clinical trials (Study 1 and Study 2), 825 patients with RMS received ocrelizumab 600 mg intravenously every 24 weeks (initial treatment was given as two separate 300 mg infusions at Weeks 0 and 2) [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. The overall exposure in the 96-week controlled treatment periods was 1448 patient-years. The most common adverse reactions in RMS trials (incidence ≥ 10%) were upper respiratory tract infections and infusion reactions. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in active-controlled intravenous ocrelizumab RMS trials (Study 1 and Study 2).
