Empaveli (Pegcetacoplan)

 Empaveli is a complement inhibitor used for the treatment of adult patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).

Recommended Dosage: Patients should be vaccinated against encapsulated bacteria, including Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae type B at least a couple of weeks before initiating Empaveli 1,080 mg/20 mL (54 mg/mL) therapy as per the current ACIP guidelines.

Two weeks of antibacterial drug prophylaxis should be provided to patients if Pegcetacoplan must be initiated promptly and vaccines are given less than 2 weeks prior to starting therapy with Empaveli.

The recommended dose is 1,080 mg administered by subcutaneous infusion twice weekly via a commercially available infusion pump with a reservoir of at least 20 mL.

• Systemic hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., facial swelling, rash, urticaria) may occur in those treated with Empaveli.

• For those without known history of vaccination, administer needed vaccines at least a couple of weeks prior to receiving the first dose of Pegcetacoplan.
