Important Safety Information
Contraindications
- Rebinyn® is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Rebinyn® or its components, including hamster proteins.
Warnings and Precautions
- Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. Signs may include angioedema, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, urticaria, and itching. Discontinue Rebinyn® if allergic or anaphylactic-type reactions occur and initiate appropriate treatment.
- Development of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to Factor IX may occur. Monitor patients for development of factor IX inhibitors if bleeding is not controlled with the recommended dose of Rebinyn® or if expected Factor IX activity plasma levels are not attained. Factor IX activity assay results may vary with the type of activated partial thromboplastin time reagent used.
- The use of Factor IX-containing products has been associated with thrombotic complications. Monitor for thrombotic and consumptive coagulopathy when administering Rebinyn® to patients with liver disease, post-operatively, to newborn infants, or to patients at risk of thrombosis or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
- Nephrotic syndrome has been reported following immune tolerance induction therapy with Factor IX products in hemophilia B patients with Factor IX inhibitors, often with a history of allergic reactions to Factor IX. The safety and efficacy of using Rebinyn® for immune tolerance induction have not been established.
Adverse Reactions
- The most common adverse reactions reported in clinical trials (≥1%) were itching and injection site reactions.
- Animals administered repeat doses of Rebinyn® showed accumulation of PEG in the choroid plexus. The potential clinical implications of these animal findings are unknown.
