In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneous administration of donidalorsen or a pharmacologically active mouse‑specific surrogate in a combined fertility and embryo‑fetal development study in mice and a pre‑ and postnatal development study in mice with F0 parental doses up to 5 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD, 80 mg) on a body surface area (BSA, mg/m 2 ) basis did not result in any adverse effects on embryofetal development, or behavioral, fertility, and reproductive development in the F1 offspring. Donidalorsen does not cross the placental barrier (see Data) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, 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.

The trial (OASIS-HAE) included 90 adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with Type I and Type II HAE, who had at least 2 investigator‑confirmed attacks during the 8‑week run‑in period. Patients were randomized to receive DAWNZERA 80 mg once every 4 weeks (n=45), DAWNZERA 80 mg once every 8 weeks (n=23), or matching placebo (n=22). Patients were required to discontinue other prophylactic HAE medications, except androgens and tranexamic acid, prior to entering the trial; all patients were allowed to use rescue medications for treatment of breakthrough HAE attacks.

Cardiac Electrophysiology At the maximum recommended dose of DAWNZERA 80 mg every 4 weeks, clinically significant QTc interval prolongation was not observed."],"pharmacokinetics":["12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetic properties of DAWNZERA were evaluated following subcutaneous administration of multiple doses every 4 weeks in healthy subjects and every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks in patients with HAE. The pharmacokinetics of DAWNZERA were similar between healthy subjects and patients with HAE. Donidalorsen exposure (area under the plasma concentration‑time curve [AUC]) at steady state following subcutaneous administration in healthy subjects increased in a greater than dose‑proportional manner over the dose range of 0.25 times the maximum recommended dosage to 80 mg every 4 weeks. Geometric Mean (Coefficient of Variation [CV%]) of steady‑state maximum plasma concentration (C max,ss ), trough plasma concentration (C trough,ss ), and area under the plasma concentration‑time curve over the dosing interval (AUC τ ,ss ) are presented in Table 2. No accumulation of donidalorsen C max and AUC was observed in plasma after repeated dosing every 4 weeks. However, a 2-fold increase of plasma donidalorsen C trough was observed following repeated dosing every 4 weeks.

Distribution Donidalorsen is expected to distribute primarily to the liver and kidney cortex after subcutaneous dosing. The apparent volume of distribution for the central (V c /F) and peripheral (V p /F) compartment were 69.8 L and 1840 L, respectively. Donidalorsen is highly bound to human plasma proteins (>98% bound) in vitro. Elimination The terminal plasma elimination half-life of donidalorsen in a typical patient with HAE is approximately 1 month. The half-life of the initial rapid clearance phase, reflecting tissue distribution, was approximately 5 hours. Metabolism The oligonucleotide moiety of donidalorsen is expected to be metabolized by endo‑ and exonucleases to short oligonucleotide fragments of varying sizes within the liver. Based on in vitro studies, donidalorsen is not a substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. The linker that covalently connects the ASO to the GalNAc residues is cleaved via hydrolysis and undergoes dephosphorylation and subsequent oxidative metabolism to form inactive metabolites, which are minimally released in circulation. The most abundant linker-related metabolite (M8) is a substrate of CYP3A4. Excretion The mean fraction of unchanged ASO eliminated in urine was less than 1% of the administered dose in healthy subjects within 24 hours post-dose. The renal route of elimination is minor for linker-related metabolites. Specific Populations No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of donidalorsen were observed based on age (12 to 68 years), body weight (37 to 152 kg), sex, race (68% White, 24% Black, and 4% Asian), ethnicity, disease status (healthy subjects or subjects with HAE), mild renal impairment (eGFR ≥60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), or mild hepatic impairment (defined using NCI-ODWG Criteria: total bilirubin ≤1 × ULN and AST >1 × ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST). Donidalorsen has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment, end‑stage renal disease, or moderate or severe hepatic impairment. Drug Interaction Studies No clinical drug‑drug interaction studies have been performed with donidalorsen. In vitro studies show that donidalorsen is not a substrate or inhibitor of transporters, does not interact with highly plasma protein bound drugs, and is not an inhibitor/inducer of CYP enzymes. In vitro studies show that linker-related metabolite M8 is not an inhibitor or inducer of CYP enzymes. M8 is a substrate of transporters bile salt export pump (BSEP) and organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3), and is an inhibitor of multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1) transporter."],"adverse_reactions":["6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Risk of Hypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, and abdominal discomfort.

The mean percentage change from baseline to Week 24 in trough plasma PKK concentrations indicated reductions of 73% and 47% following treatment with DAWNZERA 80 mg every 4 weeks and every 8 weeks, respectively, compared with a slight increase (2%) observed in the placebo group. Cardiac Electrophysiology At the maximum recommended dose of DAWNZERA 80 mg every 4 weeks, clinically significant QTc interval prolongation was not observed. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetic properties of DAWNZERA were evaluated following subcutaneous administration of multiple doses every 4 weeks in healthy subjects and every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks in patients with HAE. The pharmacokinetics of DAWNZERA were similar between healthy subjects and patients with HAE. Donidalorsen exposure (area under the plasma concentration‑time curve [AUC]) at steady state following subcutaneous administration in healthy subjects increased in a greater than dose‑proportional manner over the dose range of 0.25 times the maximum recommended dosage to 80 mg every 4 weeks. Geometric Mean (Coefficient of Variation [CV%]) of steady‑state maximum plasma concentration (C max,ss ), trough plasma concentration (C trough,ss ), and area under the plasma concentration‑time curve over the dosing interval (AUC τ ,ss ) are presented in Table 2. No accumulation of donidalorsen C max and AUC was observed in plasma after repeated dosing every 4 weeks. However, a 2-fold increase of plasma donidalorsen C trough was observed following repeated dosing every 4 weeks.

Pharmacokinetic Parameters (Geometric Mean) DAWNZERA 80 mg q4wks 80 mg q8wks C max,ss (ng/mL) 417 (81%) 416 (78%) C trough,ss (ng/mL) 0.755 (63%) 0.255 (73%) AUC τ,ss (ng·h/mL) 5240 (52%) 5210 (52%) Absorption Following subcutaneous administration, donidalorsen is absorbed with the median (range) time to maximum plasma concentration of approximately 2 (0.25, 8) hours post dose. Distribution Donidalorsen is expected to distribute primarily to the liver and kidney cortex after subcutaneous dosing. The apparent volume of distribution for the central (V c /F) and peripheral (V p /F) compartment were 69.8 L and 1840 L, respectively. Donidalorsen is highly bound to human plasma proteins (>98% bound) in vitro. Elimination The terminal plasma elimination half-life of donidalorsen in a typical patient with HAE is approximately 1 month. The half-life of the initial rapid clearance phase, reflecting tissue distribution, was approximately 5 hours. Metabolism The oligonucleotide moiety of donidalorsen is expected to be metabolized by endo‑ and exonucleases to short oligonucleotide fragments of varying sizes within the liver. Based on in vitro studies, donidalorsen is not a substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. The linker that covalently connects the ASO to the GalNAc residues is cleaved via hydrolysis and undergoes dephosphorylation and subsequent oxidative metabolism to form inactive metabolites, which are minimally released in circulation. The most abundant linker-related metabolite (M8) is a substrate of CYP3A4. Excretion The mean fraction of unchanged ASO eliminated in urine was less than 1% of the administered dose in healthy subjects within 24 hours post-dose. The renal route of elimination is minor for linker-related metabolites. Specific Populations No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of donidalorsen were observed based on age (12 to 68 years), body weight (37 to 152 kg), sex, race (68% White, 24% Black, and 4% Asian), ethnicity, disease status (healthy subjects or subjects with HAE), mild renal impairment (eGFR ≥60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), or mild hepatic impairment (defined using NCI-ODWG Criteria: total bilirubin ≤1 × ULN and AST >1 × ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST). Donidalorsen has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment, end‑stage renal disease, or moderate or severe hepatic impairment. Drug Interaction Studies No clinical drug‑drug interaction studies have been performed with donidalorsen. In vitro studies show that donidalorsen is not a substrate or inhibitor of transporters, does not interact with highly plasma protein bound drugs, and is not an inhibitor/inducer of CYP enzymes. In vitro studies show that linker-related metabolite M8 is not an inhibitor or inducer of CYP enzymes. M8 is a substrate of transporters bile salt export pump (BSEP) and organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3), and is an inhibitor of multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1) transporter. 12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti‑drug antibodies (ADAs) 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 donidalorsen or of other donidalorsen products. In OASIS-HAE, with a treatment duration up to 24 weeks, the incidence rate of treatment‑emergent ADAs in adult and pediatric patients (≥12 years of age) with HAE was 20% (9 of 45 patients) in the DAWNZERA 80 mg every 4 weeks group and 22% (5 of 23 patients) in the DAWNZERA 80 mg every 8 weeks group. In an open‑label extension trial, patients that rolled over from OASIS-HAE continued treatment with DAWNZERA in the 80 mg every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks groups for up to 3 years (median exposure duration of 227 days). The incidence rate of treatment‑emergent ADAs was 35% (22 of 63 patients) in the DAWNZERA 80 mg every 4 weeks group, including patients initially randomized to DAWNZERA 80 mg every 4 weeks in OASIS-HAE (36%, 16/44) and patients initially randomized to placebo in OASIS-HAE (32%, 6/19). The incidence rate of treatment-emergent ADAs was 21% (3 of 14 patients) among patients who received DAWNZERA 80 mg every 8 weeks in OASIS-HAE and open-label extension. In general, the development of ADAs was not found to affect the pharmacodynamics, safety, or efficacy of DAWNZERA. An increase in donidalorsen plasma C trough was observed in ADA-positive patients with high titers. Because of small sample size, the effect of ADA on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and effectiveness of DAWNZERA is inconclusive."],"indications_and_usage":["1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE DAWNZERA™ is indicated for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older.

"],"use_in_specific_populations":["8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Hepatic Impairment: Use in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment is not recommended. ( 8.7 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on DAWNZERA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneous administration of donidalorsen or a pharmacologically active mouse‑specific surrogate in a combined fertility and embryo‑fetal development study in mice and a pre‑ and postnatal development study in mice with F0 parental doses up to 5 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD, 80 mg) on a body surface area (BSA, mg/m 2 ) basis did not result in any adverse effects on embryofetal development, or behavioral, fertility, and reproductive development in the F1 offspring. Donidalorsen does not cross the placental barrier (see Data) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, 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. Data Animal Data In reproductive toxicity studies with donidalorsen, the unconjugated form was not detected (below the limit of quantitation) in fetal tissues. Donidalorsen does not cross the placental barrier. In a combined fertility and embryofetal development study, subcutaneous administration of donidalorsen (up to 10 mg/kg/week [2.5-times the MRHD on a BSA basis]) or a mouse‑specific surrogate (4 mg/kg/week) to male and female F0 mice weekly, prior to and during mating, and continuing every other day in females throughout the periods of implantation and organogenesis (Gestation Days 0 to 16), resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity with doses up to 10 mg/kg/week. In a pre- and postnatal development study, subcutaneous administration of donidalorsen (up to 20 mg/kg/week [5-times the MRHD on a BSA basis]) or a mouse-specific surrogate (5 mg/kg/week) to F0 female mice every other day throughout pregnancy (from Gestation Day 6 to 18) and weekly throughout lactation (from Lactation Day 1 to 20) produced no adverse effects on behavioral, fertility, and reproductive development in the F1 offspring. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity with doses up to 20 mg/kg/week. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of donidalorsen in human milk, the effects on the breast‑fed infant, or the effects on milk production. Donidalorsen was excreted into the milk of lactating mice; however, due to species-specific differences in lactation physiology, animal lactation data may not reliably predict levels in human milk (see Data) . The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for DAWNZERA and any potential adverse effects on the breast‑fed infant from DAWNZERA or from the underlying maternal condition. Data Animal Data In the mouse pre‑ and postnatal development study, the concentrations of donidalorsen in breast milk from lactating mice on Lactation Day 15 increased in a dose‑dependent manner at doses ≥10 mg/kg/week, but these concentrations of donidalorsen in breast milk were lower than the observed concentrations in the liver where the drug is preferentially taken up. Even though donidalorsen was detected in the maternal mouse milk, systemic exposure in pups was not expected due to the lack of oral absorption of donidalorsen. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of DAWNZERA for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of HAE have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. Use of DAWNZERA for this indication is supported by evidence from an adequate and well‑controlled trial (OASIS-HAE) that included 7 pediatric patients (aged 12 to 17 years) who received DAWNZERA 80 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks (n=4) or every 8 weeks (n=3). The safety and effectiveness of DAWNZERA in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older is extrapolated from adults from OASIS-HAE with support from pharmacokinetic analysis and pharmacodynamic response [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2 , 12.3) and Clinical Studies (14) ] . No new safety signals were identified in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older who received DAWNZERA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . The safety and effectiveness of DAWNZERA have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of DAWNZERA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients. 8.6 Renal Impairment No dosage adjustment of DAWNZERA is recommended for patients with mild renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . DAWNZERA has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment or end‑stage renal disease. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment No dosage adjustment of DAWNZERA is required for patients with mild hepatic impairment (defined by National Cancer Institute Organ Dysfunction Working Group [NCI-ODWG] Criteria: total bilirubin ≤1 × upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >1 × ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST level) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . DAWNZERA has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. Use of DAWNZERA is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (defined by NCI-ODWG Criteria: total bilirubin >1.5 x ULN regardless of AST level)."],"information_for_patients_table":["
