Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory clinical trial. KEBILIDI is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with aromatic L amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on change from baseline in gross motor milestone achievement at 48 weeks post-treatment. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory clinical trial. ( 1 , 14 ) Dosage and administration 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For single-dose intraputaminal infusion only. For single-dose intraputaminal infusion only. Recommended dose: 1.8×10 11 vector genomes (vg). ( 2.2 ) Brain imaging for stereotactic planning and intraoperative navigation should be done prior to the procedure. ( 2.4 ) Post stereotactic registration, mark the entry point on the skull. Surgical access through the skull bone and dura should be performed. ( 2.4 ) Administer a total dose of 1.8×10 11 vg (0.32 mL total volume) delivered as four 0.08 mL (0.45×10 11 vg) infusions (two sites per putamen-anterior and posterior) at a rate of 0.003 mL/minute (0.18 mL/hour) for a total of 27 minutes per site, administered in a single stereotactic surgery using a cannula that is FDA-authorized for intraparenchymal infusion. ( 2.2 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Important Dosing Information Confirm patient has AADC deficiency due to biallelic mutations in the DDC gene. Strictly observe aseptic technique during preparation and administration of KEBILIDI. KEBILIDI should be administered in a medical center which specializes in stereotactic neurosurgery. Administer KEBILIDI only using an FDA-authorized cannula for intraparenchymal infusion (i.e., ClearPoint SmartFlow Neuro Cannula Part Number NGS-NC-01-EE or NGS-NC-02-EE). Use of the syringe (i.e., connecting the syringe to the syringe pump and priming of the cannula) should begin within 6 hours of starting product thaw KEBILIDI is intended to be administered with an infusion pump capable of infusing at a rate of 0.003 mL/min. 2.2 Recommended Dose KEBILIDI is administered as four intraputaminal infusions in a single stereotactic neurosurgical procedure as per the recommended dose shown in Table 1 . Table 1: Recommended Dose of KEBILIDI Total Recommended Dose 1.8x10 11 vg (0.32 mL) Total number of infusions 4 Volume (dose) per infusion 0.08 mL (0.45x10 11 vg) Location of infusions 2 in anterior putamen, 2 in posterior putamen Infusion rate at each target point 0.003 mL/min Dose duration for infusion at each target point 27 minutes 2.3 Preparation Thawing KEBILIDI Vial Coordinate timing of KEBILIDI thaw and infusion. KEBILIDI should be used within 6 hours of starting product thaw. Infusion of KEBILIDI takes 4 hours. The maximum time from thaw to completion of infusion should be no more than 10 hours. Thaw the KEBILIDI vial upright at room temperature before use. The contents of the vial will thaw in approximately 15 minutes at room temperature. Do not thaw or warm the vial any other way. Gently invert the vial 3 times. Do not shake the vial. Inspect the fully thawed KEBILIDI vial after mixing. KEBILIDI should be inspected visually for particulate matter, and discoloration prior to administration. KEBILIDI is clear to slightly opaque. The color of KEBILIDI should be a colorless to faint white suspension Do not use if particulates, or discoloration are visible in the suspension. Preparing KEBILIDI in Syringe Gather supplies listed in Table 2 for preparation: Table 2: Supplies for KEBILIDI Preparation Abbreviations: PC=Polycarbonate; PP=Polypropylene Component Material of Construction 1mL lubricated sterile Luer-lock syringe with elastomer plunger Or 5mL lubricated sterile Luer-lock syringe with elastomer plunger Silicone, PC; Silicone, PP Silicone, PP 18 or 19 G sterile needle with 5µm filter Stainless steel, PC hub; Stainless steel, PP hub Sterile Luer-lock syringe cap - Plastic bag for delivery into surgical unit - Secondary container for delivery into surgical unit - Prepare KEBILIDI using sterile techniques under aseptic conditions, proper engineering controls (e.g., biological safety cabinets or isolator) as per the institutional policies. Open the syringe and label it as the product-filled syringe. Attach the filter needle to the syringe. Draw the full volume of the vial of KEBILIDI into the syringe. Invert the vial and
Monitoring
- • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Procedural complications: Monitor patients for procedural complications for neurosurgery, including events of respiratory and cardiac arrest after administration of KEBILIDI.
