Eculizumab Interactions

DRUG INTERACTIONS PIASKY binds different epitopes on C5 compared to eculizumab and ravulizumab, which can lead to the formation of DTDCs when patients switch between PIASKY and either eculizumab or ravulizumab. These DTDCs comprise one or more units of C5 bound to both PIASKY and to eculizumab or ravulizumab. These DTDCs are expected to be cleared within approximately 8 weeks (in the case of eculizumab) or longer (in the case of ravulizumab) and can result in Type III hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Plasmapheresis, Plasma Exchange, Fresh Frozen Plasma Infusion or IVIg Concomitant use of eculizumab products with plasma exchange (PE), plasmapheresis (PP), fresh frozen plasma infusion (PE/PI), or in patients with gMG on concomitant IVIg treatment can reduce serum eculizumab product concentrations and requires a supplemental dose of BKEMV [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . 7.2 Neonatal Fc Receptor Blockers Concomitant use of eculizumab products with neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blockers may lower systemic exposures and reduce effectiveness of eculizumab products.
