Important Safety
Information
WARNING: SEVERE
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Including Anaphylaxis
Patients treated with Lamzede
have experienced hypersensitivity
reactions, including anaphylaxis.
Appropriate medical
support measures, including
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
equipment, should be readily
available during Lamzede
administration. If a severe
hypersensitivity reaction (e.g.,
anaphylaxis) occurs, discontinue
Lamzede immediately and
initiate appropriate medical
treatment. In patients with
severe hypersensitivity reaction,
a desensitization procedure to
Lamzede may be considered.
Considerations Due to
Hypersensitivity Reactions and/
or Infusion-Associated Reactions (IARs)
Prior to Lamzede administration,
consider pretreating with
antihistamines, antipyretics, and/
or corticosteroids. Inform patients
and caregivers of the signs and
symptoms of hypersensitivity
reactions and IARs and instruct
them to seek medical care
immediately if such symptoms occur.
- If a severe hypersensitivity
reaction (including
anaphylaxis) or severe IAR
occurs, immediately
discontinue Lamzede
administration and initiate
appropriate medical
treatment. - In the event of a mild to
moderate hypersensitivity
reaction or a mild to
moderate IAR, consider
temporarily holding the
infusion for 15 to 30 minutes,
slowing the infusion rate
to 25% to 50% of the
recommended rate, and
initiating appropriate medical
treatment.
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Including Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis and severe
hypersensitivity signs and
symptoms included cyanosis,
hypotension, emesis, urticaria,
erythema, facial swelling, pyrexia,
and tremor.
Infusion-Associated Reactions
(IARs)
The most frequent symptoms
of IARs that occurred in >10%
of the populationwere pyrexia,
chills, erythema, vomiting, cough,
urticaria, rash, and conjunctivitis.
Females of Reproductive
Potential
Advise females of reproductive
potential to use effective
contraception during treatment

reproduction studies, Lamzede
may cause embryo-fetal harm
when administered to a pregnant
female.
