Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE KRESLADI is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients with severe leukocyte adhesion deficiency-I (LAD-I) due to biallelic variants in ITGB2 without an available human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on increase in neutrophil CD18 and CD11a surface expression [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). KRESLADI is an autologous hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients with severe leukocyte adhesion deficiency-I (LAD-I) due to biallelic variants in ITGB2 without an available human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. ( 1 ) This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on increase in neutrophil CD18 and CD11a surface expression [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).
How it works
12.1 Mechanism of Action KRESLADI adds functional copies of the ITGB2 gene into patients' hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through transduction of autologous CD34+ cells with LV-RP-201. After KRESLADI infusion, transduced CD34+ HSCs engraft in the bone marrow and differentiate into various cell types, including leukocytes capable of expressing functional CD18 protein. Functional CD18 protein enables formation of the CD18/CD11a heterodimer (Leukocyte Function-Associated Antigen-1, LFA-1) which facilitates leukocyte adhesion to endothelial surfaces and extravasation to infectious and inflammatory sites.
How to use / dosing
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For autologous use only. For intravenous use only. Patients must undergo hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization followed by apheresis to obtain CD34+ cells for KRESLADI manufacturing. ( 2.2 ) Dosing of KRESLADI is based on the number of CD34+ cells in the infusion bag(s) per kg of body weight. ( 2.1 ) The minimum recommended dose is 2.8 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg. ( 2.1 ) Full myeloablative conditioning must be administered before infusion of KRESLADI. ( 2.2 ) Verify the patient's identity matches the unique patient identification information on the KRESLADI infusion bag(s) prior to infusion. ( 2.2 ) Do not sample, alter, or irradiate KRESLADI. ( 2.2 ) Do not use an in-line blood filter or infusion pump. ( 2.3 ) 2.1 Dose For autologous use only. For one-time single-dose intravenous use only. The recommended minimum dose of KRESLADI is a single intravenous infusion of 2.8 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg. The dose is calculated based on the patient's weight prior to first apheresis. See the Lot Information Sheet provided with the product shipment for additional information pertaining to dose. Up to two drug product lots may be administered to meet the minimum dose. 2.2 Preparation Before KRESLADI Infusion Before mobilization, apheresis, and conditioning are initiated, confirm that autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is appropriate for the patient. Consider administering ustekinumab prior to mobilization and apheresis and/or prior to KRESLADI infusion. Mobilization and Apheresis Administer granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and plerixafor for HSC mobilization followed by apheresis to obtain CD34+ cells for product manufacturing. Weigh the patient prior to the first apheresis collection. Collect a recommended target number of CD34+ cells of 20 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg. Repeat additional cycles of mobilization and apheresis after at least 14 days to obtain more cells for KRESLADI manufacture if the minimum dose of 2.8 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg is not met. Back-Up CD34+ Cell Collection Obtain and cryopreserve an additional collection of CD34+ cells of ≥ 2 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg at the treatment center prior to initiating myeloablative conditioning and infusion with KRESLADI. Administer the back-up collection for rescue treatment if there is: 1) compromise of KRESLADI after initiation of conditioning and before KRESLADI infusion, 2) primary engraftment failure, or 3) loss of engraftment after infusion with KRESLADI. Myeloablative Conditioning Do not begin conditioning until KRESLADI has been received and stored at the treatment center and the availability of the back-up collection of CD34+ cells is confirmed. Administer myeloablative conditioning before infusion of KRESLADI based on institutional guidelines. Consult the prescribing information for the conditioning agents prior to treatment. Infuse KRESLADI 24-48 hours after completion of myeloablative conditioning. Receipt and Storage of KRESLADI Ensure the availability of vapor phase of liquid nitrogen storage at less than or equal to -150°C (-238°F) at the treatment center. KRESLADI is shipped to the treatment center in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen shipper. Confirm the patient's identity with the patient identifiers on the shipper and labels. If there are any concerns about the product or packaging upon receipt, contact Rocket Pharmaceuticals at 1-800-982-2410. Keep the infusion bag(s) in the metal cassette(s) and transfer KRESLADI from the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen shipper to the onsite vapor phase of liquid nitrogen storage (at ≤ -150°C (≤ -238°F) until ready for thaw and administration). Preparation of KRESLADI for infusion Confirm the infusion time in advance and adjust the start time of KRESLADI thaw such that it will be available for infusion when the patient and the healthcare provider are ready. Complete infusion of each bag of KRESLADI within 30 minutes of the start of thaw. 1. Confirm patient identity: Prior to KRESLADI

Safety advice

Conservative summary derived from FDA labeling — defaults to “consult your doctor” unless the label is explicit. Not a substitute for your clinician’s advice.

PregnancyUnsafe
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data from KRESLADI administration in pregnant women. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted to assess whether KRESLADI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. No nonclinical germline transmission studies have been conducted with KRESLADI. KRESLADI must not be administered during pregnancy because of the risk associated with conditioning. 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.

Warnings & precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious Infections: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection before and after KRESLADI infusion and treat appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials according to institutional guidelines. ( 5.1 ) Veno-Occlusive Disease: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of veno-occlusive disease including assessment of liver function tests during the first month following KRESLADI infusion. ( 5.2 ) Neutrophil Engraftment Failure: Monitor absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) after KRESLADI infusion. If neutrophil engraftment does not occur administer rescue cells. ( 5.3 ) Delayed Platelet Engraftment: Monitor patients for thrombocytopenia and bleeding until platelet engraftment and count recovery. ( 5.4 ) LVV-mediated Insertional Oncogenesis: Monitor patients at least annually for hematologic malignancies for at least 15 years after KRESLADI infusion. ( 5.5 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions during the infusion. ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Serious Infections Serious infections have occurred with KRESLADI administration [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Increased susceptibility to infections may occur due to administration of myeloablative conditioning prior to KRESLADI infusion. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection before and after KRESLADI infusion and treat appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials according to institutional guidelines. Avoid administration of KRESLADI in patients with active bloodstream infections or other serious, untreated infections. Any blood products required after KRESLADI infusion should be irradiated. 5.2 Veno-Occlusive Disease Veno-occlusive disease has occurred with KRESLADI treatment [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Increased susceptibility to veno-occlusive disease may occur due to administration of myeloablative conditioning prior to KRESLADI infusion. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of veno-occlusive disease including assessment of liver function tests during the first month following KRESLADI infusion. 5.3 Neutrophil Engraftment Failure Neutrophil engraftment failure may occur after treatment with KRESLADI. Neutrophil engraftment failure is defined as failure to achieve three consecutive absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) ≥ 500 cells/microliter obtained on different days by Day 43 after infusion of KRESLADI. Monitor neutrophil counts until engraftment has been achieved. If neutrophil engraftment failure occurs in a patient treated with KRESLADI, provide rescue treatment with the back-up collection of CD34+ cells [see Preparation Before KRESLADI Infusion (2.2) ] . 5.4 Delayed Platelet Engraftment Delayed platelet engraftment may occur after treatment with KRESLADI. Monitor platelet counts and bleeding until platelet engraftment and platelet recovery are achieved. 5.5 LVV-Mediated Insertional Oncogenesis Lentiviral vector (LVV)-mediated insertional oncogenesis may occur after treatment with KRESLADI. Hematologic malignancy is a lifelong risk and patients treated with KRESLADI may develop hematologic malignancy at any time following treatment. Monitor for hematologic malignancies clinically, and with a complete blood count (with differential) at least annually and integration site analysis as warranted for at least 15 years after treatment with KRESLADI and as clinically indicated. If malignancy is detected in any patient who received KRESLADI, contact Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-800-982-2410 for reporting and to obtain instructions on collection of samples for testing. 5.6 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis may occur with the infusion of KRESLADI. The dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in KRESLADI may cause hypersensitivity reactions which may occur in patients with and without prior exposure to DMSO. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions during and after KRESLADI infusion. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, pause infusion if ongoing and ma

Pediatric use

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of KRESLADI have been established in pediatric patients with severe LAD-I. The use of KRESLADI in the pediatric population was supported by one clinical study which treated 9 patients 9.8 months to 9.8 years of age [see Adverse Reactions (6) and Clinical Studies (14) ] .

⚑ About half of pediatric medication use is off-label and not described in FDA labels — absence of pediatric information does not mean a medicine is unused or unsafe in children. Confirm with your clinician.

Interactions (label text — not an interaction checker)
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS No formal drug interaction studies have been performed. KRESLADI is not expected to interact with the hepatic cytochrome P-450 family of enzymes or drug transporters. Anti-retrovirals : Patients should not take anti-retroviral medications for one month prior to mobilization, or for the expected duration required for elimination of the anti-retroviral medications, and until all cycles of apheresis are completed. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Vaccines The safety and effectiveness of immunization with live viral vaccines during or following KRESLADI treatment has not been studied. Vaccination is not recommended during the 6 weeks preceding the start of myeloablative conditioning, and until hematological recovery following treatment with KRESLADI. Where feasible, administer childhood vaccinations prior to myeloablative conditioning for KRESLADI. 7.2 Anti-retroviral Use Patients should not take anti-retroviral medications for at least one month prior to initiating medications for stem cell mobilization and for the expected duration for elimination of the medications, and until all cycles of apheresis are completed [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] . Anti-retroviral medications may interfere with manufacturing of KRESLADI.
