Warnings & Precautions
Infections: Delay ENSPRYNG administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved. Vaccination with live or live-attenuated vaccines is not recommended during treatment. ( 5.1 ) Elevated Liver Enzymes: Monitor ALT and AST levels during treatment; interruption of ENSPRYNG may be required. ( 5.2 ) Decreased Neutrophil Counts: Monitor neutrophils during treatment. ( 5.3 )
Infections An increased risk of infections, including serious and pote
Infections An increased risk of infections, including serious and potentially fatal infections, has been observed in patients treated with IL-6 receptor antagonists, including ENSPRYNG. The most common infections reported in a randomized clinical trial of patients treated with ENSPRYNG who were not on other chronic immunosuppressant therapies (Study 1), and that occurred more often than in patients receiving placebo, were nasopharyngitis (12%) and cellulitis (10%). The most common infections in patients who were on an additional concurrent immunosuppressant, and that occurred more often than in patients receiving placebo, were nasopharyngitis (31%), upper respiratory infection (19%), and pharyngitis (12%). Delay ENSPRYNG administration in patients with an active infection, including localized infections, until the infection is resolved. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Reactivation Risk of HBV reactivation has been observed with other immunosuppressant therapies. Patients with chronic HBV infection were excluded from clinical trials. Perform HBV screening in all patients before initiation of treatment with ENSPRYNG. Do not administer ENSPRYNG to patients with active hepatitis. For patients who are chronic carriers of HBV [HBsAg+] or are negative for HBsAg and positive for HB core antibody [HBcAb+], consult liver disease experts before starting and during treatment with ENSPRYNG. Tuberculosis Tuberculosis has occurred in patients treated with other interleukin-6 receptor antagonists. Patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis risk factors and tested for latent infection prior to initiating ENSPRYNG. Consider anti-tuberculosis therapy prior to initiation of ENSPRYNG in patients with a history of latent or active tuberculosis in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with a negative test for latent tuberculosis but having risk factors for tuberculosis infection. Consult infectious disease experts regarding whether initiating anti-tuberculosis therapy is appropriate before starting treatment. Patients should be monitored for the development of symptoms and signs of tuberculosis with ENSPRYNG, even if initial tuberculosis testing is negative. Vaccinations Live or live-attenuated vaccines should not be given concurrently with ENSPRYNG because clinical safety has not been established. Administer all immunizations according to immunization guidelines at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of ENSPRYNG for live or live-attenuated vaccines
Elevated Liver Enzymes Mild and moderate elevations of liver enzymes h
Elevated Liver Enzymes Mild and moderate elevations of liver enzymes have been observed in patients treated with ENSPRYNG at a higher incidence than in patients receiving placebo [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . ALT and AST levels should be monitored every 4 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, followed by every 3 months for one year, and thereafter, as clinically indicated [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ].
Decreased Neutrophil Counts Decreases in neutrophil counts were observ
Decreased Neutrophil Counts Decreases in neutrophil counts were observed in patients treated with ENSPRYNG at a higher incidence than placebo [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Neutrophil counts should be monitored 4 to 8 weeks after initiation of therapy, and thereafter at regular clinically determined intervals [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ].
Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash,
Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, urticaria, and fatal anaphylaxis, have occurred with other interleukin-6 receptor antagonists.

Waiting for at least 2 weeks postpartum to resume therapy may minimize transfer to the infant.
