WARNING
SEVERE HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS
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 [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Velmanase alfa-tycv, is lysosomal alpha-mannosidase produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. The amino acid sequence of the monomeric protein is identical to the naturally occurring human enzyme, alpha-mannosidase. Velmanase alfa-tycv has an approximate molecular weight of 130 kDa.
LAMZEDE (velmanase alfa-tycv) for injection is a sterile, preservative-free, white to off-white lyophilized powder with a cake-like appearance for intravenous infusion after reconstitution. Each single-dose vial contains 10 mg of velmanase alfa-tycv and the inactive ingredients dibasic sodium phosphate (2.47 mg), glycine (10.1 mg), mannitol (227.5 mg) and monobasic sodium phosphate (0.088 mg). After reconstitution with 5 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP the resultant concentration is 2 mg/mL with pH of 7.5 ± 0.5.
LAMZEDE is indicated for the treatment of non-central nervous system manifestations of alphamannosidosis in adult and pediatric patients.
For females of reproductive potential, verify that the patient is not pregnant [see Use In Specific Populations].
Prior to LAMZEDE administration, consider pre-treating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
The recommended dosage of LAMZEDE is 1 mg/kg (actual body weight) administered once every week as an intravenous infusion.
The total volume of infusion is determined by the patient’s actual body weight and should be administered over a minimum of 60 minutes for patients weighing up to 49 kg. Patients weighing 50 kg and greater should be infused at a maximum infusion rate of 25 mL/hour to control the protein load [see Reconstitution Instructions].
If one or more doses are missed, restart the treatment as soon as possible, as long as it is at least 3 days from the next scheduled dose. If it is within 3 days from the next scheduled dose, give only the next dose per schedule.
In the event of a severe hypersensitivity reaction (including anaphylaxis) or severe infusion-associated reaction (IAR), immediately discontinue LAMZEDE administration and initiate appropriate medical treatment. For additional recommendations in the event of a severe hypersensitivity reaction or IAR, see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS.
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 [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
If symptoms:
Use aseptic technique during preparation. Reconstitute LAMZEDE in the following manner:
10 mg of velmanase alfa-tycv as a white to off-white lyophilized powder with a cake-like appearance in a single-dose vial for reconstitution.
LAMZEDE (velmanase alfa-tycv) for injection is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized powder with a cake-like appearance in a single-dose vial. Each vial contains 10 mg of velmanase alfa-tycv. LAMZEDE is available as:

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of LAMZEDE was evaluated in Trial 1, which included a total of 15 LAMZEDE-treated patients (8 adult patients aged 18-35 years old and 7 pediatric patients aged 6-17 years old; 9 male, 6 female) with alpha-mannosidosis [see Clinical Studies]. All patients received LAMZEDE 1 mg/kg weekly via intravenous infusion for 52 weeks.
A serious adverse reaction of acute renal failure was reported in 1 (7%) LAMZEDE-treated patient (see Description of Selected Adverse Reactions).
Table 1 lists adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2 LAMZEDE-treated patients in Trial 1.

In Trial 2, 5 pediatric patients aged 3 to 5 years old (3 male, 2 female) with alpha-mannosidosis received LAMZEDE weekly for a mean exposure of 121 weeks [see Clinical Studies]. One patient treated with LAMZEDE (20%) presented serious reactions (chills and hyperthermia on the same occasion). The adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2 of 5 patients (and are in addition to the adverse reactions already identified in Trial 1 above) included: cough, otitis media, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, fall, ligament sprain, oropharyngeal pain, swelling face, and upper respiratory tract infection.
Trial 3 is an integrated analysis that pooled the cumulative databases from LAMZEDE phase 1, 2, and 3 trials in patients with alpha-mannosodosis. A total of 33 patients (20 male, 13 female) aged 6 to 35 years old (14 adults, 19 pediatric) received LAMZEDE weekly for a mean exposure of 89 weeks in adult patients and 155 weeks in pediatric patients.
One patient was withdrawn from the trial due to repeated IARs and successfully reintroduced after 89 weeks of pause.
The adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients (and are in addition to the adverse reactions already identified in Trial 1 and 2 above) included abdominal pain upper, contusion, excoriation, post-lumbar puncture syndrome, wound, weight increased, erythema, rash, and tooth extraction.
One patient out of 38 (3%) experienced one episode of acute renal failure. This patient paused LAMZEDE treatment for 4 weeks and acute renal failure resolved within 12 weeks of diagnosis. This patient is noted to have received the concomitant medication of ibuprofen.
One episode of immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), reported as Henoch Schonlein Purpura, occurred in one patient out of 38 (3%) who developed high anti-drug antibody (ADA) levels.
One patient out of 38 (3%), with no prior history of seizures experienced more than one episode of seizures. A relationship between the occurrence of seizures in this patient and exposure to LAMZEDE cannot be excluded.
Hypersensitivity reactions overall were reported in 36% of adult patients and 58% of pediatric patients.
Infusion-associated reactions (including anaphylaxis and severe hypersensitivity reactions) occurred in a higher incidence in LAMZEDE-treated patients who developed anti-velmanase alfa-tycv antibodies (anti-drug antibodies, ADA) compared to patients who were ADA-negative (80% versus 20%) [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
In Trial 1 following treatment with LAMZEDE for up to 52 weeks, 1 out of 5 ADA-positive patients developed severe hypersensitivity and this patient developed the highest ADA level among all the ADA-positive patients in the trial. In Trial 2 following treatment with LAMZEDE for up to 174 weeks, 2 out of 4 ADA-positive pediatric patients experienced IARs. In Trial 3, 3 out of 33 patients (9.1%) reported IARs; two of these patients were ADA positive (one of these two patients is described in Trial 1); one patient was ADA negative.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of velmanase alfa outside of the United States. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Cardiac disorders: aortic valve incompetence, palpitations, tachycardia
Ear and labyrinth disorders: deafness
Eye disorders: lacrimation increased
Gastrointestinal disorders: odynophagia
General disorders and administration site conditions: asthenia, fatigue

Included as part of the "PRECAUTIONS" Section
Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported in LAMZEDE-treated patients. In clinical trials, 19 (50%) LAMZEDE-treated patients (5 adult patients and 14 pediatric patients) experienced hypersensitivity reactions, including 2 (5%) patients (1 adult patient and 1 pediatric patient) who experienced anaphylaxis and an additional 3 (8%) pediatric patients who experienced severe hypersensitivity reactions that required medical treatment [see Clinical Studies].
In the 5 patients who experienced anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity requiring medical treatment, 4 (80%) were anti-drug antibody (ADA) positive [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Anaphylaxis and severe hypersensitivity signs and symptoms included cyanosis, hypotension, emesis, urticaria, erythema, facial swelling, pyrexia, and tremor.
Prior to LAMZEDE administration, consider pretreating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids. Appropriate medical support measures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment, should be readily available during LAMZEDE administration.
Infusion-associated reactions (IARs) have been reported in LAMZEDE-treated patients. In clinical trials 19 (50%) LAMZEDE-treated patients (3 adult and 16 pediatric patients) experienced IARs. Of these 19 patients, 5 (13 % of all patients) required pretreatment in the clinical trials. One LAMZEDE-treated patient in clinical trials discontinued due to recurrent IARs.
The most frequent symptoms of IARs that occurred in >10% of the population were pyrexia, chills, erythema, vomiting, cough, urticaria, rash and conjunctivitis. Similar symptoms were observed in adult and pediatric populations.
Prior to LAMZEDE administration, consider pretreating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids to reduce the risk of infusion-associated reactions (IARs). However, IARs may still occur in patients after receiving pretreatment.
Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, LAMZEDE may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female. Administration of velmanase alfa-tycv to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused skeletal and visceral malformations. In rats and rabbits, skeletal and visceral malformations were observed at exposures that were approximately 7-and 2.5-fold, respectively, those observed in patients treated at the recommended dose of 1 mg/kg.
The decision to continue or discontinue LAMZEDE treatment during pregnancy should consider the female’s need for LAMZEDE, the potential drug-related risks to the fetus, and the potential adverse outcomes from untreated maternal disease.
For females of reproductive potential, verify that the patient is not pregnant prior to initiating treatment with LAMZEDE. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LAMZEDE and for 14 days after the last dose if LAMZEDE is discontinued [see Use In Specific Populations].
Animal studies to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of velmanase alfa-tycv have not been conducted. In the pre-and postnatal development study in the rat, one female at the 30 mg/kg dose level developed a malignant histiocytic sarcoma of the ovary. A relationship to treatment for this tumor cannot be excluded. The AUC associated with tumor formation in this study was approximately 10fold greater than those observed in patients treated at the 1 mg/kg dose level.
Studies to evaluate the mutagenic potential of velmanase alfa-tycv have not been conducted.
Intravenous administration of velmanase alfa-tycv twice-weekly for two weeks prior to pairing, through day 6 of gestation, showed no adverse effects on fertility parameters in rats. Based on data from the embryofetal study, exposures in the fertility study were approximately 10-fold greater than those observed in patients treated at the 1 mg/kg dose level.
Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, LAMZEDE may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female. In animal reproduction studies, major visceral malformations were observed in rats and rabbits when velmanase alfa-tycv was administered in pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis. These malformations were observed in rats at the highest dose level, at exposures that were approximately 7-fold the recommended dose in patients of 1 mg/kg. Malformations occurred at all dose levels in rabbits with the highest dose exposures approximately 2.5-fold the recommended patient dose of 1 mg/kg (see Data).
There are no available data on LAMZEDE use in pregnant females to evaluate a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise the pregnant female of the potential risk to the fetus. The decision to continue or discontinue LAMZEDE treatment during pregnancy should consider the female’s need for LAMZEDE, the potential drug-related risks to the fetus, and the potential adverse outcomes from untreated maternal disease.
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, 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.
Animal Data
In an embryo-fetal development study in the rat, velmanase alfa-tycv was administered during the period of organogenesis from gestation day (GD) 6 to GD 17. Major malformations and variations were observed at exposures that were approximately 7-fold greater than the recommended dose of 1 mg/kg. Treatment-related major malformations included cleft palate, cleft palatine skull, severely bent pelvic girdle, and duplicated sternebrae.
In an embryofetal development study in the rabbit, administration of velmanase alfa-tycv from GDs 6 through 18 was associated with skeletal and/or visceral malformations, which occurred at exposures that were approximately 2.5-fold greater than those observed in patients treated at the 1 mg/kg dose level. Major malformations observed in rabbits included incomplete intraventricular septum; severely reduced size of one or more lung lobe; unilateral renal agenesis; unilateral ureter; diaphraghmatic hernia involving one or more lobe of the liver; hydrocephaly; single olfactory lobe; cystic dilatation of the cerebellum; malformed cervical, thoracic, caudal, and/or sacral vertebrae; and fused, absent, or vestigial ribs.
In the pre-and post-natal development study in rats, velmanase alfa-tycv was administered intravenously every 3 days at 0, 3.3, 10, and 30 mg/kg from GD 6 to lactation day 20. Velmanase alfa-tycv did not induce effects on maternal reproductive function or on developmental and reproductive parameters of male and female offspring; thus, the maternal and developmental NOAELs were 30 mg/kg. Exposures at this dose, based on the embryo-fetal development study, were estimated to be approximately 10-fold greater than the 1 mg/kg dose of velmanase alfa-tycv.
There are no data on the presence of velmanase alfa-tycv or its metabolite in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for LAMZEDE and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from velmanase alfa-tycv or from the underlying maternal condition.
LAMZEDE may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female [see Pregnancy].
For females of reproductive potential, verify that the patient is not pregnant prior to initiating treatment with LAMZEDE.
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 14 days after the last dose if LAMZEDE is discontinued.
The safety and effectiveness of LAMZEDE for the treatment of alpha-mannosidosis have been established in pediatric patients.
Use of LAMZEDE for this indication is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled clinical trial in adult and pediatric patients, and from an open label trial in 5 pediatric patients (younger than 6 years of age) [see Clinical Studies].
LAMZEDE-treated pediatric patients reported a higher incidence of hypersensitivity reactions compared to LAMZEDE-treated adult patients [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Alpha-mannosidosis is largely a disease of pediatric and young adult patients. Clinical trials of LAMZEDE did not include patients 65 years of age and older.
No Information Provided
None.
Alpha-mannosidosis is a lysosomal storage disease that results from reduced activity of the enzyme alpha-mannosidase, caused by gene variants in Mannosidase Alpha Class 2B Member 1. Alphamannosidase catalyzes the degradation of accumulated mannose-containing oligosaccharides. The deficiency of alpha-mannosidase causes an intra-lysosomal accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharides in various tissues. Velmanase alfa-tycv provides an exogenous source of alphamannosidase. Velmanase alfa-tycv is internalized via binding to the mannose-6-phosphate receptor on the cell surface and transported into lysosomes where it is thought to exert enzyme activity.
Serum oligosaccharide concentrations are elevated in patients with alpha-mannosidosis. In clinical studies, serum oligosaccharide concentrations were quantified by assessment of 2-mannose oligosaccharides. LAMZEDE treatment resulted in reductions of serum oligosaccharide concentrations in patients with alpha-mannosidosis [see Clinical Studies].
The pharmacokinetics of velmanase alfa-tycv were evaluated in adult patients with alphamannosidosis and are presented as mean (standard deviation, SD) unless otherwise specified. The steady state maximum plasma velmanase alfa-tycv concentration (Cmax) was 7.9 (0.9) μg/mL and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-t) was 159.8 (24.4) μg•h/mL at the approved recommended dosage of 1 mg/kg.
The volume of distribution of velmanase alfa-tycv was 276 (43) mL/kg in patients with alphamannosidosis.
The total body clearance of velmanase alfa-tycv was 5.7 (0.9) mL/h/kg and the mean terminal half-life (t1/2) was 33.6 hours in patients with alpha-mannosidosis.
Metabolism
Velmanase alfa-tycv is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.
In pediatric patients (6 to 17 years of age) with alpha-mannosidosis, the Cmax and AUC0-t at steady state were 6.6 (1.0) μg/mL and 109.8 (17.8) μg•h/mL, respectively, at the recommended dose of 1 mg/kg velmanase alfa-tycv administered once a week.
In pediatric patients (3 to <6 years of age) with alpha-mannosidosis, the Cmax and AUC0-t at steady state were 7.0 (2.3) μg/mL and 75.9 (39.7) μg•h/mL at the recommended dose of 1 mg/kg velmanase alfa-tycv amininistered once a week.
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of velmanase alfa-tycv or of other velmanase alfa products.
In Trial 2 following 104 weeks treatment with LAMZEDE [see Clinical Studies], 4 out of 5 pediatric patients (80%) developed anti-velmanase alfa-tycv antibodies (anti-drug antibodies, ADA). Three out of 4 ADA-positive patients (75%) developed neutralizing antibodies that inhibit velmanase alfa-tycv enzyme activity.
In Trial 3 [see ADVERSE REACTIONS], 33 patients (10 adult, 23 pediatric) received LAMZEDE for up to 209 weeks. Among the 33 patients, 5 patients (1 adult and 4 pediatric) (15%) had ADA before treatment with LAMZEDE and for 1 patient the ADA level increased after treatment with LAMZEDE. Four other patients (1 adult and 3 pediatric) (12%) developed ADA after treatment with LAMZEDE. ADA positive samples were tested for neutralizing antibodies that inhibit velmanase alfa-tycv enzyme activity (NAb) during treatment in Trial 1. Four patients with ADA positive results also had positive NAb results during treatment with LAMZEDE. However, NAb positive results of similar magnitude were detected in 4 patients during treatment with placebo.
Neutralizing antibodies that inhibit cellular uptake of velmanase alfa-tycv have not been characterized.
Development of ADA was associated with lower plasma concentrations of velmanase alfa-tycv. Two pediatric patients who developed ADA had reduced pharmacodynamic responses in reduction of serum oligosaccharides at the time when high ADA levels were observed.
Infusion associated reactions (IARs) occurred in 2 patients in Trial 2 and 2 patients in Trial 3 who developed ADA compared to 2 patients in Trial 2 and 1 patient in Trial 3 who were ADA-negative [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Trial 1 (NCT01681953) was a phase 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial in adult and pediatric patients with alpha-mannosidosis. The trial evaluated the efficacy of LAMZEDE over 52 weeks at a dose of 1 mg/kg given weekly as an intravenous infusion. A total of 25 patients were enrolled (14 males, 11 females), including 13 adult patients (age range: ≥18 to 35 years; mean: 25 years) and 12 pediatric patients (age range: ≥6 to <18 years; mean: 11 years); all patients were White. Ethnicity data were not collected. All patients had alphamannosidase activity below 11% of normal and in the range of 8 to 29 μmol/h/mg at baseline. All patients but one were naïve to LAMZEDE. Fifteen patients (8 adult and 7 pediatric) received LAMZEDE and 10 patients (5 adult and 5 pediatric) received placebo. All patients completed the trial.
The efficacy results for the clinical endpoints assessed at 12 months, 3-minute stair climbing test (3MSCT), 6-minute walking test (6MWT) and forced vital capacity (FVC) (% predicted), favored the LAMZEDE group and were supported by a reduction in serum oligosaccharide concentration. The results of 3MSCT, 6MWT, FVC (% predicted), and serum oligosaccaride concentrations are presented in Table 2.

LAMZEDE was investigated in a single arm trial in pediatric alpha-mannosidosis patients less than 6 years of age (NCT02998879). All patients had alpha-mannosidase activity below 10% of normal at baseline.The trial enrolled five patients ranging from 3.7 to 5.9 years of age, with a mean age of 4.5 years. Four patients were White, race was not recorded for 1 patient; and 3 were male and 2 were female. Patients received LAMZEDE 1 mg/kg as intravenous infusion once weekly (4 patients for 24 months, 1 patient for 40 months).
The mean (SD) absolute and percentage changes from Baseline for serum oligosaccharides at 24 months were -7.7 (4.27) μmol/L and -65.8% (23.1%) respectively.
Advise the patient and caregiver that reactions related to the infusion may occur during and after LAMZEDE treatment, including anaphylactic reactions, other serious or severe hypersensitivity reactions, and IARs. Inform the patient and caregiver of the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and IARs and to seek medical care should signs and symptoms occur [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
LAMZEDE may cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise the pregnant female of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise a female patient and caregiver to inform their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and Use In Specific Populations].
Advise a female of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 14 days after the last dose if LAMZEDE is discontinued [see Use In Specific Populations].
