Boxed warning
WARNING: ANAPHYLAXIS Anaphylaxis has been observed with PEMGARDA in 0.6% (4/623) of participants in a clinical trial. Anaphylaxis was reported during the first and second infusion of PEMGARDA. ( 5.1 , 6.1 ) Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening. Prior to administering PEMGARDA, consider the potential benefit of COVID-19 prevention along with the risk of anaphylaxis. ( 5.1 , 6.1 , 14 ) Administer PEMGARDA only in settings in which healthcare providers have immediate access to medications to treat anaphylaxis and the ability to activate the emergency medical system (EMS), as necessary. Clinically monitor individuals during the infusion and for at least two hours after completion of the infusion. Discontinue PEMGARDA use permanently if signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis or any severe systemic reaction are observed and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive therapy.
Indications and usage
1 EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION FOR PEMGARDA The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the emergency use of the unapproved product PEMGARDA (pemivibart) for the pre-exposure prophylaxis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg): Who are not currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 and who have not had a known recent exposure to an individual infected with SARS-CoV-2 and Who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise due to a medical condition or receipt of immunosuppressive medications or treatments and are unlikely to mount an adequate response to COVID-19 vaccination. Medical conditions or treatments that may result in moderate to severe immune compromise and an inadequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination include: Active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies Hematologic malignancies associated with poor responses to COVID-19 vaccines regardless of current treatment status (e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, acute leukemia) Receipt of solid-organ transplant or an islet transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy Receipt of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppressive therapy) Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (e.g., common variable immunodeficiency disease, severe combined immunodeficiency, DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome) Advanced or untreated HIV infection (people with HIV and CD4 cell counts <200/mm 3 , history of an AIDS-defining illness without immune reconstitution, or clinical manifestations of symptomatic HIV) Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (i.e., ≥20 mg prednisone or equivalent per day when administered for ≥2 weeks), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, and biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory (e.g., B-cell depleting agents) Limitations of Authorized Use PEMGARDA is not authorized for use: -For treatment of COVID-19, or -For post-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 in individuals who have been exposed to someone infected with SARS-CoV-2. PEMGARDA is authorized for use only when the combined national frequency of variants with substantially reduced susceptibility to PEMGARDA is less than or equal to 90%, based on available information including variant susceptibility to PEMGARDA and national variant frequencies FDA will monitor conditions to determine whether use is consistent with the scope of authorization, referring to available information, including information on variant susceptibility (e.g., Section 12.4 of the authorized Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers) and CDC variant frequency data available at: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#variant-proportions. . Pre-exposure prophylaxis with PEMGARDA is not a substitute for vaccination in individuals for whom COVID-19 vaccination is recommended. Individuals for whom COVID-19 vaccination is recommended, including individuals with moderate-to-severe immune compromise who may derive benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, should receive COVID‑19 vaccination. In individuals who have recently received a COVID-19 vaccine, PEMGARDA should be administered at least 2 weeks after vaccination. PEMGARDA may only be prescribed for an individual patient by physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants that are licensed or authorized under State law to prescribe drugs. PEMGARDA has been authorized by FDA for the emergency use described above. PEMGARDA is not FDA-approved for any use, including use for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. PEMGARDA is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of PEMGARDA under section 564(b)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. Justification for Emergency Use of Drugs During the COVID‑19 Pandemic: There is currently an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) caused by SARS‑CoV‑2, a novel coronavirus. The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has: Determined that there is a public health emergency, or significant potential for a public health emergency See U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Determination of a Public Health Emergency and Declaration that Circumstances Exist Justifying Authorizations Pursuant to Section 564(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3. February 4, 2020; https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/02/07/2020-02496/determination-of-public-health-emergency. See also U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Amended Determination of a Public Health Emergency or Significant Potential for a Public Health Emergency Pursuant to Section 564(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b). March 15, 2023 (“Amended Determination”); https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/20/2023-05609/covid-19-emergency-use-authorization-declaration. . Declared that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of drugs and biological products for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 See U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Declaration that Circumstances Exist Justifying Authorizations Pursuant to Section 564(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3, 85 FR 18250 (April 1, 2020); https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/04/01/2020-06905/emergency-use-authorization-declaration. See also Amended Determination (“The declarations issued pursuant to section 564(b)(1) of the FD&C Act that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of certain in vitro diagnostics, personal respiratory protective devices, other medical devices and drugs and biological products, as set forth in those declarations, and that are based on the February 4, 2020 determination, remain in effect until those declarations are terminated in accordance with section 564 of the FD&C Act.”). . An EUA is an FDA authorization for the emergency use of an unapproved product or unapproved use of an approved product (i.e., drug, biological product, or device) in the United States under certain circumstances including, but not limited to, when the Secretary of HHS declares that there is a public health emergency that affects the national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, and that involves biological agent(s) or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent(s). Criteria for issuing an EUA include: The biological agent(s) can cause a serious or life-threatening disease or condition. Based on the totality of the available scientific evidence (including data from adequate and well controlled clinical trials, if available), it is reasonable to believe that: the product may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or preventing the serious or life-threatening disease or condition; and the known and potential benefits of the product - when used to diagnose, prevent, or treat such disease or condition - outweigh the known and potential risks of the product, taking into consideration the material threat posed by the biological agent(s). There is no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating the serious or life-threatening disease or condition. Information Regarding Available Alternatives for the EUA Authorized Use There are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives to PEMGARDA for the pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 in individuals who are unlikely to mount an adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination. For information on clinical studies of PEMGARDA and other therapies for the pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19, see www.clinicaltrials.gov .

Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis has been observed with PEMGARDA in 4 of 623 (0.6%) participants in a clinical trial [see Adverse Reactions (6.1 )] . Two participants had anaphylaxis during the first infusion, and two participants had anaphylaxis during the second infusion. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening, and two of the anaphylactic reactions in the clinical trial were reported as life-threatening. Manifestations included pruritus, flushing, urticaria, erythema, angioedema, diaphoresis, dizziness, tinnitus, wheezing, dyspnea, chest discomfort, and tachycardia. In all 4 cases, PEMGARDA was permanently discontinued. Prior to administering PEMGARDA, consider the potential benefit of COVID-19 prevention along with the risk of anaphylaxis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1 ), and Clinical Studies (14 )] . Administer PEMGARDA only in settings in which healthcare providers have immediate access to medications to treat anaphylaxis and the ability to activate the emergency medical system (EMS), as necessary. Clinically monitor individuals during the 60-minute infusion and for at least two hours after completion of the infusion. If signs or symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction occur, immediately discontinue administration, and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive therapy. Discontinue PEMGARDA use permanently in individuals who experience signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis [see Contraindications (4 )] .
5.2 Hypersensitivity and Infusion-Related Reactions Hypersensitivity and infusion-related reactions occurring during the infusion and up to 24 hours after the infusion have been observed with administration of PEMGARDA. Hypersensitivity or infusion-related reactions may be severe or life threatening. If signs or symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity or infusion-related reaction occur, immediately discontinue administration, and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive therapy. Signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity or infusion-related reactions may include: Fever, difficulty breathing, reduced oxygen saturation, chills, fatigue, arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia, bradycardia), chest pain or discomfort, weakness, altered mental status, nausea, headache, bronchospasm, hypotension, hypertension, angioedema, throat irritation, rash including urticaria, pruritus, myalgia, vasovagal reactions (e.g., pre-syncope, syncope), dizziness, and diaphoresis. If a mild infusion-related reaction occurs, consider slowing or stopping the infusion and administer appropriate medications and/or supportive care. Clinically monitor individuals during infusion and for at least two hours after completion of the infusion for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity. Hypersensitivity reactions occurring more than 24 hours after the infusion have also been reported with the use of SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies under Emergency Use Authorization.
5.3 Risk of Cross-Hypersensitivity With COVID-19 Vaccines PEMGARDA contains polysorbate 80, which is in some COVID-19 vaccines and is structurally similar to polyethylene glycol (PEG), an ingredient in other COVID-19 vaccines [see Description (11 ) ] . For individuals with a history of a severe hypersensitivity reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine, consider consultation with an allergist-immunologist prior to PEMGARDA administration. Administration of PEMGARDA should be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider with appropriate medical support to manage severe hypersensitivity reactions. If signs and symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur during administration of PEMGARDA, immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care. Clinically monitor individuals after infusion and observe for at least two hours.
5.4 Risk for COVID-19 Due to SARS-CoV-2 Viral Variants with Substantially Reduced Susceptibility to PEMGARDA Certain SARS-CoV-2 viral variants may emerge that have substantially reduced susceptibility to PEMGARDA. PEMGARDA may not be effective at preventing COVID-19 caused by these SARS‑CoV-2 viral variants. The cell culture neutralization activity of PEMGARDA against SARS-CoV-2 viral variants is described in Microbiology ( 12.4 ). Inform individuals of the increased risk, compared to other variants, for COVID-19 due to emergent SARS-CoV-2 viral variants that exhibit substantially reduced susceptibility to PEMGARDA. If signs or symptoms of COVID-19 occur, advise individuals to test for COVID-19 and seek medical attention, including starting treatment for COVID-19 as appropriate. Symptoms of COVID-19 may include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea. For additional information on the symptoms of COVID-19, please see https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html.

6.1 Adverse Reactions from Clinical Studies The following adverse reactions have been observed in the clinical study of PEMGARDA that supported the EUA [see Clinical Studies (14 )] . The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical study cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of other products and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Additional adverse reactions associated with PEMGARDA may become apparent with more widespread use. The safety of PEMGARDA is based on exposure of 623 participants who received at least one dose of PEMGARDA 4500 mg IV in one of two cohorts in the ongoing CANOPY trial. Cohort A is a single-arm, open-label trial in adults who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (n=306), while Cohort B is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in which adults who do not have moderate-to-severe immune compromise received PEMGARDA (n=317) or placebo (n=162). In Cohort A, 297 participants received a second dose of PEMGARDA 4500 mg IV three months after the initial dose. In Cohort B, 296 participants received a second dose of PEMGARDA 4500 mg IV and 154 received a second dose of placebo three months after the initial dose. Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis was observed in 4 of 623 (0.6%) participants in CANOPY, all in Cohort A. Two participants had anaphylaxis during the first infusion, and two participants had anaphylaxis during the second infusion. All four reactions led to permanent discontinuation of PEMGARDA. Three participants had complete resolution, and one participant had acute resolution with sequelae related to a flare of an underlying condition. Symptoms of anaphylaxis during the first dose included dyspnea, diaphoresis, erythema (face), chest discomfort, and tachycardia in one participant, and flushing, dizziness, tinnitus, and wheezing in one participant. Treatment for both included diphenhydramine. Both instances of anaphylaxis with the second dose were reported as life-threatening. Symptoms during the second infusion and following discontinuation of the infusion in both participants included pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, dyspnea, and either erythema or flushing. One participant also experienced headache, dizziness, and chest pain; additionally, pruritus, erythema, and urticaria reoccurred in this participant within 24 hours of the initial onset of anaphylaxis. Both participants were treated with diphenhydramine and epinephrine, and one participant also received oral prednisone and metoprolol for an associated flare of an underlying condition. Systemic Infusion-Related Reactions and Hypersensitivity Reactions First Dose Systemic infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions (i.e., adverse events assessed as causally related) were observed with the first dose in CANOPY in 4% (24/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA across cohorts, including: 7% (20/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A), and 1% (4/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B Infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions were not observed in any participants who received placebo in Cohort B. Systemic infusion-related or hypersensitivity reactions that started within 24 hours of the first dose of PEMGARDA treatment were reported as infusion-related reaction, infusion-related hypersensitivity, hypersensitivity, fatigue, headache, tachycardia, dermatitis, diarrhea, myalgia, nausea, paresthesia, presyncope, and tremor. All reactions were mild or moderate, but two reactions were anaphylaxis [see Box Warnings, and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )] . Infusion-related reactions or hypersensitivity reactions led to discontinuation of the first infusion in 1% (6/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA. First and Second Dose, Cumulative Cumulatively, infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions were observed in 6% (38/623) of participants across cohorts, including: 9% (27/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A). 3% (11/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B. The severity of the reactions was generally mild (24/38) or moderate (12/38), but two reactions, both in Cohort A, were life-threatening [see Boxed Warnings and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )] . Infusion-related reactions or hypersensitivity reactions led to discontinuation of the first or second infusion in 1% (10/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA across cohorts, including: 2% (7/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A). 1% (3/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B. Cumulatively, infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions were observed following both the first and second dose of PEMGARDA in 1% (7/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA across cohorts, including: 2% (6/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A). <1% (1/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B. Local Infusion Site Reactions First and Second Dose, Cumulative Cumulatively, local infusion site reactions were observed in 2% (6/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A) with either the first or second dose of PEMGARDA. No local infusion site reactions were observed in Cohort B. Local reactions were reported as infusion site bruising, infusion site erythema, and injection site reaction. All local reactions were mild, and none led to treatment discontinuation. Cumulatively, infusion site infiltration or extravasation was noted in 5% (15/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A) and in 1% (3/317) of participants in Cohort B with either the first or second dose of PEMGARDA. Other Common Adverse Events First and Second Dose, Cumulative In addition to systemic and local infusion-related/hypersensitivity reactions described above, the most common (≥2%) treatment-emergent adverse events, irrespective of causality, observed with PEMGARDA through Month 6 were as follows: In participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise in Cohort A: viral infection (7%), upper respiratory tract infection (7%), influenza-like illness (4%), urinary tract infection (4%), fatigue (3%), headache (3%), sinusitis (3%), nasopharyngitis (2%), influenza (2%), and pneumonia (2%). In Cohort B: upper respiratory tract infection (8%), viral infection (6%), influenza-like illness (5%), enterovirus infection (3%), and viral upper respiratory tract infection (2%). These adverse events were observed at a similar or higher rate with placebo. Cumulatively, infusion site infiltration or extravasation was noted in 5% (15/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A) and in 1% (3/317) of participants in Cohort B with either the first or second dose of PEMGARDA.

from Clinical Studies The following adverse reactions have been observed in the clinical study of PEMGARDA that supported the EUA [see Clinical Studies (14 )] . The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical study cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of other products and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Additional adverse reactions associated with PEMGARDA may become apparent with more widespread use. The safety of PEMGARDA is based on exposure of 623 participants who received at least one dose of PEMGARDA 4500 mg IV in one of two cohorts in the ongoing CANOPY trial. Cohort A is a single-arm, open-label trial in adults who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (n=306), while Cohort B is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in which adults who do not have moderate-to-severe immune compromise received PEMGARDA (n=317) or placebo (n=162). In Cohort A, 297 participants received a second dose of PEMGARDA 4500 mg IV three months after the initial dose. In Cohort B, 296 participants received a second dose of PEMGARDA 4500 mg IV and 154 received a second dose of placebo three months after the initial dose. Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis was observed in 4 of 623 (0.6%) participants in CANOPY, all in Cohort A. Two participants had anaphylaxis during the first infusion, and two participants had anaphylaxis during the second infusion. All four reactions led to permanent discontinuation of PEMGARDA. Three participants had complete resolution, and one participant had acute resolution with sequelae related to a flare of an underlying condition. Symptoms of anaphylaxis during the first dose included dyspnea, diaphoresis, erythema (face), chest discomfort, and tachycardia in one participant, and flushing, dizziness, tinnitus, and wheezing in one participant. Treatment for both included diphenhydramine. Both instances of anaphylaxis with the second dose were reported as life-threatening. Symptoms during the second infusion and following discontinuation of the infusion in both participants included pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, dyspnea, and either erythema or flushing. One participant also experienced headache, dizziness, and chest pain; additionally, pruritus, erythema, and urticaria reoccurred in this participant within 24 hours of the initial onset of anaphylaxis. Both participants were treated with diphenhydramine and epinephrine, and one participant also received oral prednisone and metoprolol for an associated flare of an underlying condition. Systemic Infusion-Related Reactions and Hypersensitivity Reactions First Dose Systemic infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions (i.e., adverse events assessed as causally related) were observed with the first dose in CANOPY in 4% (24/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA across cohorts, including: 7% (20/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A), and 1% (4/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B Infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions were not observed in any participants who received placebo in Cohort B. Systemic infusion-related or hypersensitivity reactions that started within 24 hours of the first dose of PEMGARDA treatment were reported as infusion-related reaction, infusion-related hypersensitivity, hypersensitivity, fatigue, headache, tachycardia, dermatitis, diarrhea, myalgia, nausea, paresthesia, presyncope, and tremor. All reactions were mild or moderate, but two reactions were anaphylaxis [see Box Warnings, and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )] . Infusion-related reactions or hypersensitivity reactions led to discontinuation of the first infusion in 1% (6/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA. First and Second Dose, Cumulative Cumulatively, infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions were observed in 6% (38/623) of participants across cohorts, including: 9% (27/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A). 3% (11/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B. The severity of the reactions was generally mild (24/38) or moderate (12/38), but two reactions, both in Cohort A, were life-threatening [see Boxed Warnings and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )] . Infusion-related reactions or hypersensitivity reactions led to discontinuation of the first or second infusion in 1% (10/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA across cohorts, including: 2% (7/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A). 1% (3/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B. Cumulatively, infusion-related reactions and hypersensitivity reactions were observed following both the first and second dose of PEMGARDA in 1% (7/623) of participants who received PEMGARDA across cohorts, including: 2% (6/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A). <1% (1/317) of participants who received PEMGARDA in Cohort B. Local Infusion Site Reactions First and Second Dose, Cumulative Cumulatively, local infusion site reactions were observed in 2% (6/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A) with either the first or second dose of PEMGARDA. No local infusion site reactions were observed in Cohort B. Local reactions were reported as infusion site bruising, infusion site erythema, and injection site reaction. All local reactions were mild, and none led to treatment discontinuation. Cumulatively, infusion site infiltration or extravasation was noted in 5% (15/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A) and in 1% (3/317) of participants in Cohort B with either the first or second dose of PEMGARDA. Other Common Adverse Events First and Second Dose, Cumulative In addition to systemic and local infusion-related/hypersensitivity reactions described above, the most common (≥2%) treatment-emergent adverse events, irrespective of causality, observed with PEMGARDA through Month 6 were as follows: In participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise in Cohort A: viral infection (7%), upper respiratory tract infection (7%), influenza-like illness (4%), urinary tract infection (4%), fatigue (3%), headache (3%), sinusitis (3%), nasopharyngitis (2%), influenza (2%), and pneumonia (2%). In Cohort B: upper respiratory tract infection (8%), viral infection (6%), influenza-like illness (5%), enterovirus infection (3%), and viral upper respiratory tract infection (2%). These adverse events were observed at a similar or higher rate with placebo. Cumulatively, infusion site infiltration or extravasation was noted in 5% (15/306) of participants who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise (Cohort A) and in 1% (3/317) of participants in Cohort B with either the first or second dose of PEMGARDA.

Overdosage
Doses above 4500 mg PEMGARDA (the authorized dose of pemivibart) were not administered in clinical studies. There is no specific treatment for overdose with PEMGARDA.
Use in specific populations
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary : There are insufficient data to evaluate a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. PEMGARDA should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk for the mother and the fetus. Nonclinical reproductive toxicity studies have not been performed with pemivibart. In tissue cross-reactivity studies using human fetal tissues, no off-target binding was detected for pemivibart. Human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibodies are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, pemivibart has the potential to be transferred from the mother to the developing fetus. It is unknown whether the potential transfer of pemivibart provides any treatment benefit or risk to the developing fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the US 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.
8.2 Lactation Risk Summary : There are no available data on the presence of PEMGARDA in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for PEMGARDA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from PEMGARDA.
8.4 Pediatric Use PEMGARDA is not authorized for use in pediatrics less than 12 years of age or weighing less than 40 kg. The safety and effectiveness of PEMGARDA has not been established in pediatrics. The recommended dosing regimen is expected to result in comparable serum exposures of pemivibart in adolescents 12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kg as observed in adults, since adults with similar body weight have been included in the CANOPY study [see Adverse Reactions (6.1 ) and Clinical Studies (14 )] .
8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 623 participants who received PEMGARDA in the CANOPY trial, 156 (25%) were aged ≥65 years and 31 (5%) were aged ≥75 years. Based on population pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses, there was no clinically meaningful difference of age on the PK of pemivibart.
8.6 Renal Impairment PEMGARDA is not eliminated intact in the urine, thus renal impairment is not expected to affect the exposure of pemivibart. Similarly, dialysis is not expected to impact the PK of pemivibart.
8.7 Hepatic Impairment The effect of hepatic impairment on the PK of pemivibart is unknown.

Description
Pemivibart is a human IgG1 mAb produced by a Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line and has a molecular weight of 147.51 kDa. PEMGARDA (pemivibart) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to yellow solution for intravenous infusion after dilution. Each 4 mL of solution contains 500 mg of pemivibart, glycine (33.03 mg), L-arginine hydrochloride (63.2 mg), L‑histidine (3.67 mg), L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (3.43 mg), L-methionine (5.97 mg), polysorbate 80 (1.2 mg), sterile water for injection (USP). The pH is 6.2.
Clinical pharmacology
12.1Mechanism of Action Pemivibart is a SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drug [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )].
12.2 Pharmacodynamics Available data suggest a positive relationship between serum neutralizing antibody titers and COVID-19 pre-exposure-prophylactic efficacy using clinical data (completed prior to the emergence of Omicron and Omicron lineage VOCs) and drug concentration data of neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Following single-dose administration of pemivibart 4500 mg IV, calculated geometric mean titer values (pemivibart concentration divided by the pseudotyped virus-like particle neutralization assay EC50 value against JN.1) [ see Microbiology ( 12.4 ) ] range from 2839 (on Day 90) to 20246 (end of infusion on Day 1). After the repeat dose of pemivibart 4500 mg IV every 3 months, it is anticipated that the range of titers at steady-state will be approximately 33% higher than those observed following the first dose administration.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics A summary of PK parameters of pemivibart following administration of a single 4500 IV dose of pemivibart to adults based on population PK modeling is provided in Table 1. Table 1. Summary Statistics of Population PK Parameters of Pemivibart Following a Single 4500 mg Intravenous Dose in Adults Parameter Pemivibart C max (μg/mL) 1820 (18.4) C Day 28 (μg/mL) 468 (23.9) C Day 90 (μg/mL) 188 (40.4) AUC 0-3 months (days × μg/mL) 40500 (22.5) T 1/2 (days) 49.0 (18.4-190) Accumulation ratio 1.33 CL (L/d) 0.0862 (31.1) V ss (L) 5.62 (17.3) Metabolism Catabolic pathways; same manner as endogenous IgG Excretion Not likely to undergo renal excretion AUC 0-3 months= area under the serum concentration-time curve from Day 0 to Month 3; CL=renal clearance; C max =maximum concentration; PK=pharmacokinetic; T 1/2 =half-life; V ss =steady state volume of distribution. Note: All values presented as geometric mean (% coefficient of variation), except for T 1/2 , which is presented as median (min, max), and for accumulation ratio, which is represented as median. Numerical values are post-hoc PK parameter estimates for participants enrolled in Phase 3 CANOPY. Specific Populations : The PK of pemivibart was not substantially affected by age, sex, or race based on a population PK analysis to the pooled data from VYD222-1-001 and Phase 3 CANOPY. Body weight is not expected to have a clinically relevant effect on the PK of pemivibart in individuals with body weights ranging from 43 to 190 kg through 3 months postdose. Patients with Immune Compromise Population PK analysis showed immune compromise status had no clinically relevant effect on the PK of pemivibart. Pediatric Patients The PK of pemivibart in pediatric individuals has not been evaluated. The dosing regimen is expected to result in comparable plasma exposures of pemivibart in pediatric individuals 12 years of age or older who weigh at least 40 kg as observed in adult individuals [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Patients with Renal Impairment Renal impairment is not expected to impact the PK of pemivibart since mAbs with molecular weight >69 kDa are known not to undergo renal elimination. Similarly, dialysis is not expected to impact the PK of pemivibart. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Pemivibart is not anticipated to be impacted by hepatic impairment. Pemivibart is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as other IgG mAbs and human endogenous IgG antibodies.
12.4 Microbiology Mechanism of Action: Pemivibart is a recombinant human monoclonal IgG1λ antibody that targets the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD), thereby inhibiting virus attachment to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on host cells. Amino acid substitutions in the Fc region (M435L/N441A) of pemivibart extend serum half-life. Pemivibart binds the spike RBD proteins of ancestral SARS‑CoV-2 B.1 (D614G) and Omicron variants BA.1, BA.2, and BA.4/5 with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of 2.1 nM, 18 nM, 13.5 nM, and 15.9 nM, respectively, and blocks attachment of ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and BA.2.86 variant RBD proteins to the human ACE2 receptor with IC 50 values of 0.068 nM (10 ng/mL) and 23 nM (3,370 ng/mL), respectively. Antiviral Activity: Pemivibart neutralized authentic SARS-CoV-2 isolates in Vero E6 or Vero E6-TMPRSS2 cells with EC 50 values of 0.165-0.230 nM (24.3-34 ng/mL) against B.1, and 0.075 nM (11 ng/mL) against B.1.617.2 (Delta). For Omicron variants, EC 50 values were 0.096 nM (14.2 ng/mL) against BA.1, 0.039 nM (5.8 ng/mL) against BA.2, 0.175 nM (25.8 ng/mL) against BA.4.1, 0.80-4.48 nM (118-661.2 ng/mL) against XBB.1.16, 1.97-3.25 nM (290-479.9 ng/mL) against XBB.1.5, 9.8 nM (1,445 ng/mL) against EG.5.1, and 3.59 nM (529.4 ng/mL) against HV.1 (last authentic virus variant tested). The antiviral activity of pemivibart against historical and contemporary SARS-CoV-2 variants was evaluated using the Monogram Biosciences PhenoSense ® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody Assay (Monogram Biosciences/LabCorp), a pseudotyped virus-like particle (VLP) assay 1 . Pemivibart neutralized SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-pseudotyped VLPs representing 9 pre-Omicron variants, including B.1 and Delta (B.1.617.2), with EC 50 values ranging from 0.022 to 0.083 nM (3.2 to 12.2 ng/mL). Pemivibart neutralized pseudotyped VLPs representing 48 Omicron-lineage variants, including major variants BA.1, BA.2, BA.5, BQ.1.1, XBB.1.5, and JN.1, with EC 50 values ranging from 0.198 to 14.3 nM (29.2 to 2,112 ng/mL). Pseudotyped VLPs representing 25 variants of the currently dominant JN.1 lineage, including JN.1, JN.1.11.1, KP.3, KP.3.1.1, XEC, LP.8.1, and XFG, had EC 50 values ranging from 0.41 to 4.7 nM (60.3 to 687.3 ng/mL) Table 2.

Assay (Monogram Biosciences/LabCorp). In this assay, neutralization activity of the pemivibart drug product is assessed against replication-defective, luciferase-expressing, spike-pseudotyped lentivirus VLPs in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells expressing human ACE2 and transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) 1 . The Fact Sheet will be routinely updated as additional variant susceptibility data become available. EC 50 values are reported as the mean and standard deviation from at least 3 replicates. 5,000 ng/mL was the upper concentration tested. c.EC 50 values for certain SARS-CoV-2 variants may differ from those reported by other labs and obtained under different assay conditions (EUA Summary Review, September 26, 2024). d.Fold change in EC 50 value was calculated by dividing the observed EC 50 value by the average observed EC 50 value for JN.1 of 74.6 ng/mL obtained from a previous experiment performed using the same pseudotyped VLP neutralization assay platform; a concurrently run JN.1 control was not available for these variants. e.Fold change in EC 50 value was calculated by dividing the observed EC 50 value by the average observed EC 50 value for a concurrently run JN.1 control. Continuous evaluations remain ongoing of pemivibart neutralization susceptibility of variants that emerge and are identified through global surveillance. Pemivibart exhibited Fc receptor and C1q binding and Fc-mediated effector activity including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD). Cell-based complement-dependent cytolysis (CDC) was not observed using pemivibart in cell culture. Pemivibart has not been directly evaluated for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection. The parent antibody of pemivibart (adintrevimab), which contains an identical Fc region and targets an overlapping epitope, failed to exhibit detectable ADE in cell culture. Antiviral Resistance: There is a potential risk of prophylaxis failure due to the emergence of a pemivibart-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variant. Prescribing healthcare providers should consider the prevalence of SARS‑CoV-2 variants in their area, where data are available, when considering prophylactic options. Cell Culture Data are limited regarding the scope of spike substitutions in Omicron-lineage variants that may confer significantly reduced susceptibility to pemivibart in cell culture. Escape variants were identified following serial passage of SARS-CoV-2 (Omicron XBB.1.5.6) in cell culture in the presence of pemivibart that contained a T500N spike substitution or a combination of R498Q, Y501N, and H505Y spike substitutions. Each of these substitutions is within 5 Å of the pemivibart binding interface. Clinical Studies The emergence of resistance is monitored in the CANOPY clinical study using genotypic (spike sequencing) and phenotypic testing (pseudotyped VLP neutralization). In the 15 successfully evaluated Cohort A cases, the SARS‑CoV‑2 variants determined based on spike amino acid sequences in participants who received pemivibart were EG.10.1 (1), JN.1 (5), KP.1.2 (1), KP.3 (2), KP.3.1.1 (5), and LP.4 (1). Resistance-associated substitutions were identified in spike sequences from 3 participants in Cohort A: T500A was detected in a JN.1 variant (100% allele frequency) and in a KP.3.1.1 variant (7% allele frequency), and T500N was detected in a KP.3.1.1 variant (15% allele frequency). These RBD amino acid substitutions occurred at a pemivibart epitope position and were associated with a 22-fold increase in EC 50 value (JN.1 with T500A), or no measurable neutralization (KP.3.1.1 with T500N), when spike variants carrying these substitutions were evaluated for susceptibility to pemivibart in the Monogram pseudotyped VLP assay. In the 10 successfully evaluated Cohort B cases in the pemivibart arm, SARS-CoV-2 variants determined based on spike sequences were JN.1 (1), JN.1.8.1 (1), JN.1.16 (1), KP.1.1.3 (1), KP.2 (1), KP.2.3 (1), KP.3 (2), and KP.3.1.1 (2). Resistance-associated substitutions have not been identified in Cohort B participants who received pemivibart. Evaluations remain ongoing of pemivibart neutralization susceptibility of variants from CANOPY participants with confirmed symptomatic COVID-19. Cross-resistance: Cross-resistance is not expected between pemivibart and currently approved/authorized COVID‑19 therapies, including remdesivir, nirmatrelvir, or molnupiravir, since pemivibart has a distinct mechanism of action and targets a different viral protein than these drugs.
12.6 Immunogenicity 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 (ADA) in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of pemivibart. ADAs to pemivibart were evaluated in CANOPY Cohort A and B participants through 6 months. In Cohort A, treatment-emergent (TE) ADAs were observed in 6 (2.0%) participants, including 2 (0.7%) participants on Day 28, 2 (0.7%) participants at Month 3, and 4 (1.3%) participants at Month 6. In Cohort B, TE ADAs were observed only at the Month 6 timepoint, in 3 (1.0%) participants. Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of pemivibart is unknown.
12.1Mechanism of Action Pemivibart is a SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drug [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )].
12.2 Pharmacodynamics Available data suggest a positive relationship between serum neutralizing antibody titers and COVID-19 pre-exposure-prophylactic efficacy using clinical data (completed prior to the emergence of Omicron and Omicron lineage VOCs) and drug concentration data of neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Following single-dose administration of pemivibart 4500 mg IV, calculated geometric mean titer values (pemivibart concentration divided by the pseudotyped virus-like particle neutralization assay EC50 value against JN.1) [ see Microbiology ( 12.4 ) ] range from 2839 (on Day 90) to 20246 (end of infusion on Day 1). After the repeat dose of pemivibart 4500 mg IV every 3 months, it is anticipated that the range of titers at steady-state will be approximately 33% higher than those observed following the first dose administration.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics A summary of PK parameters of pemivibart following administration of a single 4500 IV dose of pemivibart to adults based on population PK modeling is provided in Table 1. Table 1. Summary Statistics of Population PK Parameters of Pemivibart Following a Single 4500 mg Intravenous Dose in Adults Parameter Pemivibart C max (μg/mL) 1820 (18.4) C Day 28 (μg/mL) 468 (23.9) C Day 90 (μg/mL) 188 (40.4) AUC 0-3 months (days × μg/mL) 40500 (22.5) T 1/2 (days) 49.0 (18.4-190) Accumulation ratio 1.33 CL (L/d) 0.0862 (31.1) V ss (L) 5.62 (17.3) Metabolism Catabolic pathways; same manner as endogenous IgG Excretion Not likely to undergo renal excretion AUC 0-3 months= area under the serum concentration-time curve from Day 0 to Month 3; CL=renal clearance; C max =maximum concentration; PK=pharmacokinetic; T 1/2 =half-life; V ss =steady state volume of distribution. Note: All values presented as geometric mean (% coefficient of variation), except for T 1/2 , which is presented as median (min, max), and for accumulation ratio, which is represented as median. Numerical values are post-hoc PK parameter estimates for participants enrolled in Phase 3 CANOPY. Specific Populations : The PK of pemivibart was not substantially affected by age, sex, or race based on a population PK analysis to the pooled data from VYD222-1-001 and Phase 3 CANOPY. Body weight is not expected to have a clinically relevant effect on the PK of pemivibart in individuals with body weights ranging from 43 to 190 kg through 3 months postdose. Patients with Immune Compromise Population PK analysis showed immune compromise status had no clinically relevant effect on the PK of pemivibart. Pediatric Patients The PK of pemivibart in pediatric individuals has not been evaluated. The dosing regimen is expected to result in comparable plasma exposures of pemivibart in pediatric individuals 12 years of age or older who weigh at least 40 kg as observed in adult individuals [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Patients with Renal Impairment Renal impairment is not expected to impact the PK of pemivibart since mAbs with molecular weight >69 kDa are known not to undergo renal elimination. Similarly, dialysis is not expected to impact the PK of pemivibart. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Pemivibart is not anticipated to be impacted by hepatic impairment. Pemivibart is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as other IgG mAbs and human endogenous IgG antibodies.
12.4 Microbiology Mechanism of Action: Pemivibart is a recombinant human monoclonal IgG1λ antibody that targets the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD), thereby inhibiting virus attachment to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on host cells. Amino acid substitutions in the Fc region (M435L/N441A) of pemivibart extend serum half-life. Pemivibart binds the spike RBD proteins of ancestral SARS‑CoV-2 B.1 (D614G) and Omicron variants BA.1, BA.2, and BA.4/5 with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of 2.1 nM, 18 nM, 13.5 nM, and 15.9 nM, respectively, and blocks attachment of ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and BA.2.86 variant RBD proteins to the human ACE2 receptor with IC 50 values of 0.068 nM (10 ng/mL) and 23 nM (3,370 ng/mL), respectively. Antiviral Activity: Pemivibart neutralized authentic SARS-CoV-2 isolates in Vero E6 or Vero E6-TMPRSS2 cells with EC 50 values of 0.165-0.230 nM (24.3-34 ng/mL) against B.1, and 0.075 nM (11 ng/mL) against B.1.617.2 (Delta). For Omicron variants, EC 50 values were 0.096 nM (14.2 ng/mL) against BA.1, 0.039 nM (5.8 ng/mL) against BA.2, 0.175 nM (25.8 ng/mL) against BA.4.1, 0.80-4.48 nM (118-661.2 ng/mL) against XBB.1.16, 1.97-3.25 nM (290-479.9 ng/mL) against XBB.1.5, 9.8 nM (1,445 ng/mL) against EG.5.1, and 3.59 nM (529.4 ng/mL) against HV.1 (last authentic virus variant tested). The antiviral activity of pemivibart against historical and contemporary SARS-CoV-2 variants was evaluated using the Monogram Biosciences PhenoSense ® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody Assay (Monogram Biosciences/LabCorp), a pseudotyped virus-like particle (VLP) assay 1 . Pemivibart neutralized SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-pseudotyped VLPs representing 9 pre-Omicron variants, including B.1 and Delta (B.1.617.2), with EC 50 values ranging from 0.022 to 0.083 nM (3.2 to 12.2 ng/mL). Pemivibart neutralized pseudotyped VLPs representing 48 Omicron-lineage variants, including major variants BA.1, BA.2, BA.5, BQ.1.1, XBB.1.5, and JN.1, with EC 50 values ranging from 0.198 to 14.3 nM (29.2 to 2,112 ng/mL). Pseudotyped VLPs representing 25 variants of the currently dominant JN.1 lineage, including JN.1, JN.1.11.1, KP.3, KP.3.1.1, XEC, LP.8.1, and XFG, had EC 50 values ranging from 0.41 to 4.7 nM (60.3 to 687.3 ng/mL) Table 2.

retained for each listed variant. b.EC 50 values for pemivibart neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants were determined in the Monogram Biosciences PhenoSense ® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody Assay (Monogram Biosciences/LabCorp). In this assay, neutralization activity of the pemivibart drug product is assessed against replication-defective, luciferase-expressing, spike-pseudotyped lentivirus VLPs in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells expressing human ACE2 and transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) 1 . The Fact Sheet will be routinely updated as additional variant susceptibility data become available. EC 50 values are reported as the mean and standard deviation from at least 3 replicates. 5,000 ng/mL was the upper concentration tested. c.EC 50 values for certain SARS-CoV-2 variants may differ from those reported by other labs and obtained under different assay conditions (EUA Summary Review, September 26, 2024). d.Fold change in EC 50 value was calculated by dividing the observed EC 50 value by the average observed EC 50 value for JN.1 of 74.6 ng/mL obtained from a previous experiment performed using the same pseudotyped VLP neutralization assay platform; a concurrently run JN.1 control was not available for these variants. e.Fold change in EC 50 value was calculated by dividing the observed EC 50 value by the average observed EC 50 value for a concurrently run JN.1 control. Continuous evaluations remain ongoing of pemivibart neutralization susceptibility of variants that emerge and are identified through global surveillance. Pemivibart exhibited Fc receptor and C1q binding and Fc-mediated effector activity including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD). Cell-based complement-dependent cytolysis (CDC) was not observed using pemivibart in cell culture. Pemivibart has not been directly evaluated for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection. The parent antibody of pemivibart (adintrevimab), which contains an identical Fc region and targets an overlapping epitope, failed to exhibit detectable ADE in cell culture. Antiviral Resistance: There is a potential risk of prophylaxis failure due to the emergence of a pemivibart-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variant. Prescribing healthcare providers should consider the prevalence of SARS‑CoV-2 variants in their area, where data are available, when considering prophylactic options. Cell Culture Data are limited regarding the scope of spike substitutions in Omicron-lineage variants that may confer significantly reduced susceptibility to pemivibart in cell culture. Escape variants were identified following serial passage of SARS-CoV-2 (Omicron XBB.1.5.6) in cell culture in the presence of pemivibart that contained a T500N spike substitution or a combination of R498Q, Y501N, and H505Y spike substitutions. Each of these substitutions is within 5 Å of the pemivibart binding interface. Clinical Studies The emergence of resistance is monitored in the CANOPY clinical study using genotypic (spike sequencing) and phenotypic testing (pseudotyped VLP neutralization). In the 15 successfully evaluated Cohort A cases, the SARS‑CoV‑2 variants determined based on spike amino acid sequences in participants who received pemivibart were EG.10.1 (1), JN.1 (5), KP.1.2 (1), KP.3 (2), KP.3.1.1 (5), and LP.4 (1). Resistance-associated substitutions were identified in spike sequences from 3 participants in Cohort A: T500A was detected in a JN.1 variant (100% allele frequency) and in a KP.3.1.1 variant (7% allele frequency), and T500N was detected in a KP.3.1.1 variant (15% allele frequency). These RBD amino acid substitutions occurred at a pemivibart epitope position and were associated with a 22-fold increase in EC 50 value (JN.1 with T500A), or no measurable neutralization (KP.3.1.1 with T500N), when spike variants carrying these substitutions were evaluated for susceptibility to pemivibart in the Monogram pseudotyped VLP assay. In the 10 successfully evaluated Cohort B cases in the pemivibart arm, SARS-CoV-2 variants determined based on spike sequences were JN.1 (1), JN.1.8.1 (1), JN.1.16 (1), KP.1.1.3 (1), KP.2 (1), KP.2.3 (1), KP.3 (2), and KP.3.1.1 (2). Resistance-associated substitutions have not been identified in Cohort B participants who received pemivibart. Evaluations remain ongoing of pemivibart neutralization susceptibility of variants from CANOPY participants with confirmed symptomatic COVID-19. Cross-resistance: Cross-resistance is not expected between pemivibart and currently approved/authorized COVID‑19 therapies, including remdesivir, nirmatrelvir, or molnupiravir, since pemivibart has a distinct mechanism of action and targets a different viral protein than these drugs.
12.6 Immunogenicity 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 (ADA) in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of pemivibart. ADAs to pemivibart were evaluated in CANOPY Cohort A and B participants through 6 months. In Cohort A, treatment-emergent (TE) ADAs were observed in 6 (2.0%) participants, including 2 (0.7%) participants on Day 28, 2 (0.7%) participants at Month 3, and 4 (1.3%) participants at Month 6. In Cohort B, TE ADAs were observed only at the Month 6 timepoint, in 3 (1.0%) participants. Because of the low occurrence of anti-drug antibodies, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness of pemivibart is unknown.
Information for patients
FACT SHEET FOR PATIENTS, PARENTS, AND CAREGIVERS What is the most important information I should know about PEMGARDA? PEMGARDA may cause serious side effects, including: A serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and can happen during or after your infusion of PEMGARDA. In case you have a severe allergic reaction to PEMGARDA and need medical help right away, you will receive PEMGARDA in a healthcare setting. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for allergic reactions during your infusion and for at least 2 hours after you are finished receiving PEMGARDA. Your healthcare provider will stop PEMGARDA right away if you develop signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis during or after your infusion of PEMGARDA: itching dizziness flushing ringing in ears hives wheezing skin redness trouble breathing swelling of your face, lips, mouth, tongue, throat, hands, or feet chest discomfort sweating fast heartbeat See “What are the important possible side effects of PEMGARDA?” for more information about side effects. You are being given this Fact Sheet because your healthcare provider believes it is necessary to provide you or your child with PEMGARDA for pre-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This Fact Sheet contains information to help you understand the potential risks and the potential benefits of receiving PEMGARDA, which you, or your child, have received or may receive. The United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to make PEMGARDA available during the COVID-19 pandemic (for more details about an EUA please see “ What is an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)? ” at the end of this document). PEMGARDA is not an FDA-approved medicine in the US. Read this Fact Sheet for information about PEMGARDA. Talk to your healthcare provider about your options or if you have any questions. It is your choice for you or your child to receive PEMGARDA or stop at any time. What is COVID-19? COVID-19 is caused by a virus called a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). You can get COVID-19 through contact with another person who has the virus. COVID-19 illnesses have ranged from very mild (including some with no reported symptoms) to severe, including illness resulting in death. While information so far suggests that most COVID‑19 illnesses are mild, serious illness can happen and may cause some of your other medical conditions to become worse. Older people and people of all ages with severe, long lasting (chronic) medical conditions like immune compromise, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and obesity, for example, seem to be at higher risk of being hospitalized for COVID‑19. What is PEMGARDA? PEMGARDA is an investigational medicine that is used for pre-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent COVID-19 in adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg) who: are not currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 and who have not been known to be exposed to someone who is infected with SARS-CoV-2 and have moderate-to-severe immune compromise because of a medical condition or because they receive medicines or treatments that suppress the immune system and they are unlikely to have an adequate response to COVID-19 vaccination. PEMGARDA is investigational because it is still being studied. There is limited information about the safety and effectiveness of using PEMGARDA for prevention of COVID-19. The FDA has authorized the emergency use of PEMGARDA for pre-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent COVID-19 under an EUA. For more information on EUA, see the “What is an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)? ” section at the end of this Fact Sheet. PEMGARDA is not authorized: to treat COVID-19 to prevent COVID-19 after being around someone infected with SARS-CoV-2 (post-exposure prophylaxis) when PEMGARDA is not expected to work against more than 90% of the SARS- CoV-2 variants in the US. Viruses can change over time (mutate) and develop into a slightly different form of the virus, called a variant. for use in children under 12 years of age or weighing less than 88 pounds (40 kg) Pre-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent COVID-19 with PEMGARDA does not take the place of receiving COVID-19 vaccination in people who can be vaccinated for COVID-19. If your health care provider recommends it, you should receive a COVID-19 vaccination. If you have received a COVID-19 vaccine, you should wait at least 2 weeks after vaccination to receive PEMGARDA. What should I tell my healthcare provider before I receive PEMGARDA? Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: have any allergies, including if you have had a severe allergic reaction to a COVID‑19 vaccine or to PEMGARDA. are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if PEMGARDA can harm your unborn baby. are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if PEMGARDA can pass into your breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby if you receive PEMGARDA. have any serious illnesses. take any medicines including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and herbal products. How will I receive PEMGARDA? You will receive 1 dose of PEMGARDA. PEMGARDA will be given to you through an infusion in a vein (intravenous [IV] infusion). It will take about 60 minutes to finish the infusion. You will receive PEMGARDA in a healthcare setting. You will be observed by a healthcare provider during your infusion and for at least 2 hours after your infusion is finished. You may need to receive additional doses of PEMGARDA for ongoing protection from COVID-19. Viruses can change over time (mutate) and develop into a slightly different form of the virus, called a variant. Based on what we know about current SARS-CoV-2 variants, you may need to receive additional doses of PEMGARDA every 3 months. Who should generally not take PEMGARDA? Do not take PEMGARDA if you have had a severe allergic reaction to PEMGARDA or any ingredient in PEMGARDA. See the end of this Fact Sheet for a complete list of ingredients in PEMGARDA. What are the important possible side effects of PEMGARDA? See “ What is the most important information I should know about PEMGARDA? ” Allergic and infusion-related reactions. Allergic and infusion-related reactions are common and can sometimes be severe or life-threatening. Allergic and infusion-related reactions can happen during and after your infusion of PEMGARDA. You may have an increased risk of allergic reaction with PEMGARDA if you have had a severe allergic reaction to a COVID‑19 vaccine. PEMGARDA contains polysorbate 80, an ingredient in some COVID‑19 vaccines. Also, polysorbate 80 is similar to polyethylene glycol (PEG), an ingredient in other COVID‑19 vaccines. Your healthcare provider may consult with a healthcare provider who specializes in allergy and immunology before giving you PEMGARDA if you have had a serious allergic reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for allergic reactions during the infusion and for at least 2 hours after you receive PEMGARDA. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms of an allergic or infusion-related reaction during or after your infusion of PEMGARDA: fever headache trouble breathing or shortness of breath throat tightness or irritation chills high or low blood pressure tiredness swelling of your face, lips, mouth, tongue, throat, hands, or feet fast or slow heart rate rash, including hives chest pain or discomfort itching weakness muscle aches confusion feeling lightheaded, faint, or dizzy nausea sweating The side effects of receiving any medicine by vein (IV) may include pain, redness, bleeding, bruising of the skin, soreness, swelling, and possible infection at the infusion site. The most common side effects in people treated with PEMGARDA who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise include allergic and infusion-related reactions, infusion site reactions, common cold, viral infection, flu-like illness, tiredness, headache and nausea. These are not all the possible side effects of PEMGARDA. Not a lot of people have been given PEMGARDA. Serious and unexpected side effects may happen. PEMGARDA is still being studied, so it is possible that all of the risks are not known at this time. What other important information do I need to know when receiving PEMGARDA? Risk of COVID-19 caused by certain SARS-CoV-2 variants: Viruses can change over time (mutate) and develop into a slightly different form of the virus, called a variant. PEMGARDA may not prevent COVID-19 caused by certain SARS‑CoV-2 variants. If you are exposed to these variants, your chance of developing COVID-19 is higher than from other variants. Tell your healthcare provider right away, and test for COVID-19, if you develop any symptoms of COVID-19, including: fever or chills headache cough sore throat shortness of breath or difficulty breathing new loss of taste or smell congestion or runny nose feeling tired (fatigue) nausea or vomiting muscle or body aches diarrhea For more information about the symptoms of COVID-19, go to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html . If you develop COVID-19, your healthcare provider may recommend one of the available COVID-19 treatments. What other prevention choices are there? Vaccines to help prevent COVID-19 are approved or available under Emergency Use Authorization. Use of PEMGARDA does not replace vaccination against COVID-19. For more information about other medicines authorized for treatment or prevention of COVID-19, go to https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm- legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-use-authorization#coviddrugs. It is your choice to receive or not receive PEMGARDA for pre-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent COVID-19. Should you decide not to receive PEMGARDA, it will not change your standard medical care. PEMGARDA is not authorized to treat COVID-19 or for post-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? There is no experience using PEMGARDA in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. For a mother and unborn baby, the benefit of receiving PEMGARDA may be greater than the risk of using the product. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss your options and specific situation with your healthcare provider. How do I report side effects with PEMGARDA? Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any side effect that bothers you or does not go away. Report side effects to FDA MedWatch at www.fda.gov/medwatch , or call 1‑800‑FDA‑1088, or call Invivyd at 1-800-890-3385. How can I learn more about PEMGARDA?

Contact your local or state public health department. What is an Emergency Use Authorization? The United States FDA has made PEMGARDA available under an emergency access mechanism called an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The EUA is supported by a Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) declaration under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that circumstances exist to justify the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic. PEMGARDA for pre-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent COVID-19 has not undergone the same type of review as an FDA-approved product. In issuing an EUA the FDA has determined, among other things, that based on the total amount of scientific evidence available, including data from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials, it is reasonable to believe that the product may be effective for preventing COVID‑-19, or a serious or life-threatening disease or condition caused by COVID-19; that the known and potential benefits of the product, when used to prevent such disease or condition, outweigh the known and potential risks of such product; and that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. All of these criteria must be met to allow the product to be used during the COVID-19 pandemic. The EUA for PEMGARDA is in effect for the duration of the COVID-19 HHS declaration justifying emergency use of PEMGARDA, unless terminated or revoked (after which PEMGARDA may no longer be used under the EUA). What are the ingredients in PEMGARDA? Active ingredient: pemivibart Inactive ingredients: glycine, L-arginine hydrochloride, L-histidine, L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, L-methionine, polysorbate 80, and sterile water for injection.
