General considerations for administration Subcutaneous administration TREMFYA® is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician. TREMFYA® may be administered by a health care professional, or a patient may self-inject after proper training in subcutaneous injection technique. Comprehensive instructions for the administration of TREMFYA® are given in “Instructions for use, handling, and disposal” – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information and in the package leaflet, “Instructions for preparation and giving an injection of TREMFYA®.” Full amount of TREMFYA® should be injected according to the directions provided in the patient information leaflet. If a dose is missed, administer the dose as soon as possible. Thereafter, resume dosing at the regular scheduled time. Intravenous infusion (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease) TREMFYA® 200 mg vial is for IV infusion only. Intravenous infusion of TREMFYA® should be administered by qualified healthcare professionals. For preparation, see “Instructions for use, handling and disposal” – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information. Special populations Pediatrics (below 18 years of age) The safety and efficacy of TREMFYA® in pediatric patients have not been evaluated; therefore, no recommendations on dosing can be made (see Pharmacokinetic Properties – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information). Elderly (65 years of age and older) Of the 5926-plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease patients exposed to TREMFYA® in Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, a total of 339 patients were 65 years or older, and 34 patients were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between older and younger patients who received TREMFYA® in clinical studies. However, the number of patients 65 years of age and older was not sufficient to determine whether elderly patients respond differently from younger patients (see Pharmacokinetic Properties – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information). Renal impairment Specific studies of TREMFYA® have not been conducted in patients with renal insufficiency. Hepatic impairment Specific studies of TREMFYA® have not been conducted in patients with hepatic insufficiency.
