What it is and what it is used for

for

What Lytenava is Lytenava contains the active substance bevacizumab gamma, which belongs to a group of medicines called antineovascularisation agents. What Lytenava is used for Lytenava is used in adults to treat an eye condition called neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). This eye condition is characterised by the abnormal formation and growth of blood vessels underneath the macula. The macula is the central part of the retina at the back of the eye and is responsible for clear vision. The abnormal growth and formation of blood vessels may leak fluid or blood into the eye and interfere with the macula's function. How Lytenava works Lytenava specifically binds to a protein called human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), which is present in the eye. In excess, this growth factor causes abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye, which can reduce vision. By binding to this growth factor, Lytenava can block its actions and prevent abnormal growth. This can help to stabilise or improve your vision. 2.

What you need to know before you take it

e Lytenava

You must not receive Lytenava if you • are allergic to bevacizumab gamma or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) • have an infection in or around your eye • have an inflammation in your eye

2

Tell your doctor if any of these apply to you. Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor before using Lytenava if you have: • glaucoma, an eye condition usually caused by high eye pressure • a history of seeing flashes of light or floater or a sudden increase in the size and number of floaters (small, dark shapes moving in the field of vision) • had blocked blood vessels, caused by a blood clot, such as heart attack, stroke, blood clots formed in the deep veins of the legs or lungs • had eye surgery in the last 4 weeks or an eye surgery is planned in the next 4 weeks • ever had any eye diseases or eye treatments Tell your doctor immediately if you have: • sudden vision loss • signs of an eye infection or inflammation, such as worsening of eye redness or increased eye discomfort increased number of floaters in your vision or sensitivity to light eye pain blurred or decreased vision It is important to know: • safety and efficacy of Lytenava given to both eyes at the same time has not been studied. Such use may increase risk of side effects. • injections with Lytenava may cause a temporary increase in eye pressure within 60 minutes after injection. Your doctor will monitor this after each injection. • your doctor will check for factors increasing risk of a tear or detachment of one of the layers at back of the eye When some other medicines that work in a similar way to Lytenava are given, there is a risk for the formation of blood clots that can block blood vessels. This may lead to heart attack or stroke. As small amounts of the medicine enter the blood, there is a theoretical risk of such events following injection of Lytenava into the eye. Please see section 4 ("Possible side effects") for more detailed information on side effects that could occur during Lytenava therapy. Children and adolescents under 18 years The use of Lytenava in children and adolescents has not been established and is therefore not recommended. Other medicines and Lytenava Tell your doctor if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines. Pregnancy and breast-feeding • Women who could become pregnant must use effective contraception during treatment and for at least three months after the last injection of Lytenava. • There is no experience of using bevacizumab gamma in pregnant women. Lytenava is not recommended during pregnancy unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the unborn child. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or planning to become pregnant, discuss this with your doctor before starting treatment with Lytenava. • Lytenava is not recommended during breast-feeding because it is not known whether bevacizumab gamma passes into breast milk. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before Lytenava treatment.

Driving and using machines After Lytenava treatment you may experience some temporary vision blurring. If this happens, do not drive or use machines until this resolves. Lytenava contains sodium This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially 'sodium-free'. 3.

How to take it

Lytenava

Lytenava is given as a single injection into your eye by your doctor. The usual dose of an injection is 0.05 mL (which contains 1.25 mg of bevacizumab gamma). The interval between two doses injected into the same eye should be about four weeks. Before the injection, your doctor will wash your eye carefully to prevent infection. Your doctor will also give you a local anaesthetic to reduce or prevent any pain you might have with the injection. The treatment starts with one injection of Lytenava every 4 weeks. After the first few treatments (about 3), your doctor will determine the frequency of further treatments by monitoring the condition of your eye, such as your vision and the health of your eye. How long does Lytenava treatment last for This is a long-term treatment, possibly continuing for months or years. Your doctor will check that the treatment is working during your regular scheduled visits. Your doctor may also check on your eyes between injections. If you have questions about how long you will receive Lytenava, talk to your doctor. If you miss a dose of Lytenava If you miss a dose, schedule a new appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. Before stopping Lytenava treatment If you are considering stopping Lytenava treatment, please go to your next appointment and discuss this with your doctor. Your doctor will advise you and decide how long you should be treated with Lytenava. Stopping treatment may increase your risk of vision loss and your vision may worsen. If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor. 4.

Lytenava is provided in a single-use vial for intravitreal use only. Each vial should only be used for the treatment of a single eye. Use aseptic technique to carry out the following preparation steps: 1. Prepare for intravitreal injection with the following recommended commercially available medical devices for single use (not provided): • 5 micron sterile filter needle, 18-gauge × 11⁄2 inch (micro acrylic copolymer filter; polycarbonate/stainless steel 304 needle or equivalent) • 1 mL sterile silicone-free syringe with marking to measure 0.05 mL (polypropylene/polyethylene or equivalent) • Sterile injection needle, 30-gauge × 1⁄2 inch (polypropylene/ stainless steel or equivalent) • Alcohol swab 2. Before withdrawal, disinfect the outer part of the rubber stopper of the vial. 3. Place the 5 micron filter needle onto the 1 mL syringe using aseptic technique. 4. Push the filter needle into the centre of the vial stopper and ensure the tip of the needle remains within the Lytenava solution to minimise the potential for air bubbles. 5. Withdraw the entire content of Lytenava to ensure a full dose can be prepared in the syringe, keeping the vial in an upright position, slightly inclined to ease sufficient withdrawal. 6. Ensure that the plunger rod is drawn sufficiently back when drawing up Lytenava to provide for sufficient volume to prepare a 0.05 mL injection. 7. The filter needle should be discarded after withdrawal of the vial content and must not be used for the intravitreal injection. 8. Attach a 30-gauge × 1⁄2 inch sterile injection needle firmly onto the syringe by screwing it tightly onto the syringe hub. Carefully remove the needle cap by pulling it straight off. Do not wipe the needle at any time. 9. Hold the syringe with the needle pointing up. If there are any air bubbles, gently tap the syringe with your finger until the bubbles rise to the top. 10. Hold the syringe at eye level and carefully push the plunger rod until the plunger tip is aligned with the line that marks 0.05 mL on the syringe. The intravitreal injection procedure should be carried out under aseptic conditions, which includes the use of surgical hand disinfection, sterile gloves, a sterile drape and a sterile eyelid speculum (or equivalent). Sterile paracentesis equipment should be available as a precautionary measure. The patient's medical history for hypersensitivity reactions should be carefully evaluated prior to performing the intravitreal procedure. Adequate anaesthesia and a broad-spectrum topical microbicide to disinfect the periocular skin, eyelid and ocular surface should be administered prior to the injection. The injection needle should be inserted 3.5-4.0 mm posterior to the limbus into the vitreous cavity, avoiding the horizontal meridian and aiming towards the centre of the globe. The injection volume of 0.05 mL is then delivered slowly; a different scleral site should be used for subsequent injections. Following intravitreal injection, patients should be instructed to report any symptoms suggestive of endophthalmitis (e.g. eye pain, redness of the eye, photophobia, blurring of vision) without delay.

Technical information intended for healthcare professionals (doctors and pharmacists). The Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) is the official document approved by the MHRA/EMA. It does not replace the patient leaflet or a doctor’s advice.

4.1. Therapeutic indications

Lytenava is indicated in adults for treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

4.2. Posology and method of administration

This medicinal product must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional, experienced in intravitreal injections.

Posology

The recommended dose is 1.25 mg administered by intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (monthly). This corresponds to an injection volume of 0.05 mL.

Treatment is initiated with one injection per month until maximum visual acuity is achieved and/or there are no signs of disease activity, i.e., no change in visual acuity or in other signs and symptoms of the disease under continued treatment. The kinetics of bevacizumab gamma efficacy (see section 5.1) indicate that three or more consecutive monthly injections may be needed initially. Thereafter, the healthcare professional may individualise treatment intervals based on disease activity as assessed by visual acuity and/or anatomical parameters.

Monitoring and treatment intervals should then be determined by the healthcare professional and should be based on disease activity, including clinical examination, functional testing or imaging techniques (e.g. optical coherence tomography or fluorescein angiography).

If visual and anatomical outcomes indicate that the patient is not benefiting from continued treatment, the medicinal product should be discontinued. Treatment should also be withheld if clinically indicated, (see section 4.4).

Special populations

Elderly

No dose adjustment is required in patients aged 65 years and older.

Renal impairment

Bevacizumab gamma has not been studied in patients with renal impairment. Available data do not suggest a need for a dose adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment.

Hepatic impairment

Bevacizumab gamma has not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment. Available data do not suggest a need for a dose adjustment is required in patients with hepatic impairment.

Paediatric population

There is no relevant use of Lytenava in the paediatric population for the treatment of nAMD.

Method of administration

The medicinal product is for intravitreal use only. Each vial should only be used for the treatment of a single eye.

Since the volume contained in the vial (0.3 mL) is greater than the recommended dose (0.05 mL), a portion of the volume contained in the vial must be discarded prior to administration.

Ensure that the injection is given immediately after preparation of the dose.

The intravitreal injection procedure should be carried out under aseptic conditions, which includes the use of surgical hand disinfection, sterile gloves, a sterile drape and a sterile eyelid speculum (or equivalent). Sterile paracentesis equipment should be available as a precautionary measure. The patient's medical history for hypersensitivity reactions should be carefully evaluated prior to performing the intravitreal procedure (see section 4.4). Adequate anaesthesia and a broad-spectrum topical microbicide to disinfect the periocular skin, eyelid and ocular surface should be administered prior to the injection.

The injection needle should be inserted 3.5-4.0 mm posterior to the limbus into the vitreous cavity, avoiding the horizontal meridian and aiming towards the centre of the globe. The injection volume of 0.05 mL is then delivered slowly; a different scleral site should be used for subsequent injections.

For instructions on preparation of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6.

4.3. Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.

Patients with active or suspected ocular or periocular infections.

Active intraocular inflammation.

4.4. Special warnings and precautions for use

Traceability

In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded.

Intravitreal injection-related reactions

Intravitreal injections have been associated with endophthalmitis, intraocular inflammation and retinal detachments/tears (see section 4.8). Proper aseptic injection technique should always be used when administering the medicinal product.

Immediately following the intravitreal injection, patients should be monitored for elevation in intraocular pressure. Appropriate monitoring may consist of a check for perfusion of the optic nerve head or tonometry. If required, sterile equipment for paracentesis should be available.

In addition, patients should be monitored following the injection to permit early treatment should an infection occur.

Patients should be instructed to report any symptoms, such as eye pain, loss of vision, photophobia, blurred vision, floaters, or redness, suggestive of endophthalmitis or any of the above-mentioned events without delay, to permit prompt and appropriate management.

Intraocular pressure increases

Increases in intraocular pressure have been noted post-injection (up to 60 minutes) while being treated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors, including bevacizumab gamma (see section 4.8). Both intraocular pressure and the perfusion of the optic nerve head must be monitored prior to and following intravitreal injection with Lytenava and managed appropriately.

Special precaution is needed in patients with poorly controlled glaucoma (do not inject the medicinal product while the intraocular pressure is ≥30 mmHg).

Bilateral treatment

The safety and efficacy of bevacizumab gamma administered in both eyes concurrently have not been studied. If bilateral treatment is performed at the same time, this could lead to an increased potential for adverse events, both ocular and systemic due to increased exposure.

Immunogenicity

As this is a therapeutic protein, there is a potential for immunogenicity with bevacizumab gamma. Patients should be instructed to inform their physician if they develop symptoms such as eye pain or increased discomfort, worsening eye redness, blurred or decreased vision, an increased number of small particles in their vision, or increased sensitivity to light.

Concomitant use of other anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) medicinal products

There are no data available on the concomitant use of bevacizumab gamma with other anti-VEGF medicinal products in the same eye. Bevacizumab gamma should not be administered concurrently with other anti-VEGF medicinal products (systemic or ocular).

Withholding treatment

The dose should be withheld and treatment should not be resumed earlier than the next scheduled treatment in the event of:

• a decrease in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of ≥30 letters compared with the last assessment of visual acuity;

• a retinal break;

• a subretinal haemorrhage involving the centre of the fovea, or, if the size of the haemorrhage is ≥50% of the total lesion area;

• an intraocular pressure of ≥30 mmHg

• thromboembolism, including myocardial infarction (MI), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE)

• performed or planned intraocular surgery within the previous or next 28 days.

Retinal pigment epithelial tear

Risk factors associated with the development of a retinal pigment epithelial tear after anti-VEGF therapy for nAMD include a large and/or high pigment epithelial retinal detachment. When initiating bevacizumab gamma therapy, caution should be used in patients with these risk factors for retinal pigment epithelial tears.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or macular holes

Treatment should be discontinued in subjects with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or stage 3 or 4 macular holes.

Systemic effects following intravitreal use

Non-ocular haemorrhages and arterial thromboembolic events, have been reported following intravitreal injection of VEGF inhibitors, (see section 4.8). There are limited data on safety in the treatment of patients with nAMD with a history of stroke, transient ischaemic attacks or myocardial infarction within the last 3 months. Caution should be exercised when treating such patients.

Excipients with known effect

This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially 'sodium-free'.

4.5. Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

No interaction studies have been performed. Based on the elimination of bevacizumab, no interactions are expected. However, bevacizumab gamma should not be administered concurrently with other systemic or ocular anti-VEGF medicinal products (see section 4.4).

4.6. Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Women of childbearing potential

Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during treatment with bevacizumab gamma and for at least three months after the last dose when stopping treatment with bevacizumab gamma.

Pregnancy

There are no data on the use of bevacizumab gamma in pregnant women. Based on studies in animals with other anti-VEGFs, treatment with bevacizumab gamma may pose a risk to human embryo foetal development. Therefore, bevacizumab gamma should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the foetus.

Breast-feeding

There are no data available on the presence of bevacizumab gamma in human milk, the effects of bevacizumab gamma on the breast-fed infant or the effects of bevacizumab gamma on milk production/excretion. A risk to the breast-fed newborn/infant cannot be excluded. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to abstain from Lytenava therapy, taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.

Fertility

No reproductive or fertility studies have been conducted with bevacizumab gamma. VEGF inhibition has been shown to affect follicular development, corpus luteum function and fertility (see section 5.3). Ovarian effects can be attributed to a direct result of the local inhibition of VEGF on active angiogenesis, which is profound in the ovary.

4.7. Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Lytenava has a minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines due to possible temporary visual disturbances following the intravitreal injection and the associated eye examination. Patients should not drive or use machines until these temporary visual disturbances subside.

4.8. Undesirable effects

Summary of the safety profile

The majority of adverse reactions reported following administration of bevacizumab gamma are related to the intravitreal injection procedure. The most frequently reported adverse reactions were conjunctival haemorrhage (5.0%), vitreous floaters (1.5%), eye pain (1.2%), and intraocular pressure increased (1.2%). Less frequently reported, but more serious adverse reactions were intraocular pressure increases (0.6%), blindness transient (0.3%), endophthalmitis (0.3%), intraocular inflammation (0.3%).

Tabulated list of adverse reactions

A total of 341 patients from two randomized and one open-label clinical studies were treated with the recommended dose of 1.25 mg. The adverse reactions reported in clinical studies of bevacizumab gamma are listed in Table 1 below.

Adverse reactions are listed according to the MedDRA system organ class. Within each system organ class, the adverse reactions are ranked by frequency, with the most frequent reactions first. Frequency categories for each adverse reaction are based on the following convention: very common (≥1/10), common (≥1/100 to <1/10), uncommon (≥1/1 000 to <1/100), rare (≥1/10 000 to <1/1 000), very rare (<1/10 000), not known (cannot be estimated from the available data). Within each frequency grouping, adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness.

Description of selected adverse reactions

Product-class-related adverse reactions

There is a theoretical risk of arterial thromboembolic events, including stroke and myocardial infarction, following intravitreal use of VEGF inhibitors. A low incidence rate of arterial thromboembolic events was observed in the bevacizumab gamma clinical studies in patients with nAMD (see section 4.4).

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system:

Yellow Card Scheme

Website: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store

4.9. Overdose

Overdosing with greater than recommended injection volume may increase intraocular pressure. In the event of overdose, intraocular pressure should therefore be monitored and, if deemed necessary by the treating healthcare professional, appropriate treatment should be initiated.
