Indications & Usage

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE YORVIPATH is indicated for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults. YORVIPATH is a parathyroid hormone analog (PTH(1-34)) indicated for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use : Not studied for acute post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. ( 1 ) Titration scheme only evaluated in adults who first achieved an albumin-corrected serum calcium of at least 7.8 mg/dL using calcium and active vitamin D treatment. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use YORVIPATH was not studied for acute post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. YORVIPATH's titration scheme was only evaluated in adults who first achieved an albumin-corrected serum calcium of at least 7.8 mg/dL using calcium and active vitamin D treatment [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.4) and Clinical Studies (14) ] .

Dosage & Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Use only one injection to achieve the once daily recommended dosage. ( 2.1 ) Maximum recommended YORVIPATH dosage is 30 mcg subcutaneously once daily. ( 2.1 ) Individualize YORVIPATH dosage based on serum calcium. ( 2.1 ) Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for complete dosage and administration information. ( 2 ) 2.1 Overview of Dosage and Monitoring Use only one injection to achieve the once daily recommended dosage. Using two injections to achieve the recommended once daily dosage increases the risk of unintended changes in serum calcium levels, including hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia. [see Dosage and Administration (2.4 , 2.6) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . The maximum recommended dosage is 30 mcg subcutaneously once daily. If an adequate response is not achieved with a maximum YORVIPATH dosage of 30 mcg, consider adding or restarting calcium and/or active vitamin D therapy and/or seek other treatment options [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . YORVIPATH's once daily subcutaneous dosage is individualized. The recommended starting dosage is 18 mcg once daily and is titrated in 3 mcg increments or decrements with the goal of maintain

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS YORVIPATH is contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity to palopegteriparatide or to any of its excipients. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria, have been observed with parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogs. Severe hypersensitivity to palopegteriparatide or any components of YORVIPATH. ( 4 )

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drugs Known to Affect Calcium : When used concomitantly with YORVIPATH, measure serum calcium levels more frequently. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Drugs Affected by Serum Calcium Digoxin YORVIPATH increases serum calcium, therefore, concomitant use with digoxin (which has a narrow therapeutic index) may predispose patients to digitalis toxicity if hypercalcemia develops. Digoxin efficacy may be reduced if hypocalcemia is present. When YORVIPATH is used concomitantly with digoxin, measure serum calcium and digoxin levels, and monitor for signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity. Adjustment of the digoxin and/or YORVIPATH dose may be needed. 7.2 Drugs Known to Affect Serum Calcium Drugs that affect serum calcium may alter the therapeutic response to YORVIPATH. Measure serum calcium more frequently when YORVIPATH is used concomitantly with these drugs, particularly after these drugs are initiated, discontinued, or dose-adjusted.

Adverse Reactions

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Risk of Unintended Changes in Serum Calcium Levels Related to Number of Daily Injections and Total Delivered Dose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Serious Hypercalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Serious Hypocalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Potential Risk of Osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Orthostatic Hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Risk of Digoxin Toxicity with Concomitant Use of Digitalis Compounds [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Adverse reactions occurring in ≥5% of patients: injection site reactions, vasodilatory signs and symptoms, headache, diarrhea, back pain, hypercalcemia, and oropharyngeal pain.
