`2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`2.1 Important Injection Instructions
`For ophthalmic intravitreal injection. EYLEA must only be administered by a
`qualified physician.
`Pre-filled Syringe: A 30-gauge x '/a-inch sterile injection needle is needed but
`not provided.
`Vial: A 5-micron sterile filter needle (19-gauge x I '1:-inch), a l-mL Luer lock
`syringe and a 30-gauge x 'A-inch sterile injection needle are needed.
`EYLEA is available packaged as follows:
`Pre-filled Syringe
`• Vial Kit with Injection Components (filter needle, syringe, injection needle)
`[see Has,' SuppliedSiorage and Handling (14)].
`2.2 Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
`The recommended dose for EYLEA is 2 mg (0.05 mL or 50 microliters)
`administered by intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (approximately every
`28 days, monthly) for the first 12 weeks (3 months), followed by 2 mg
`(0.05 mL) via intravifreal injection once every 8 weeks (2 months). Although
`EYLEA may be dosed as frequently as 2mg every 4 weeks (approximately every
`25 days, monthly), additional efficacy was not demonstrated in most patients
`when EYLEA was dosed every 4 weeks compared to every 8 weeks [see
`Clinical Studies (1-/1)]. Some patients may need every 4 week (monthly)
`dosing after the first 12 weeks (3 months). Although not as effective as the
`recommended every 8 week dosing regimen, patients may also be treated with
`one dose every 12 weeks after one year of effective therapy. Patients should be
`assessed regularly.
`2.3 Macular Edema Following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)
`The recommended dose for EYLEA is 2 mg (0.05 mL or 50 microliters)
`administered by intravitreal injection once every 4 weeks (approximately every
`25 days, monthly) [see Clinical Studies (14.2), (14.3)J.
`2.4 Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
`The recommended dose for EYLEA is 2 mg (0.05 mL or 50 microliters)
`administered by intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (approximately every
`28 days, monthly) for the first 5 injections, followed by 2 mg (005 mL) via
`intravitreal injection once every 8 weeks (2 months). Although EYLEA may
`be dosed as frequently as 2 mg every 4 weeks (approximately every 25 days,
`monthly), additional efficacy was not demonstrated in most patients when
`EYLEA was dosed every 4 weeks compared to every 8 weeks [see Clinical
`Studies (14.4)]. Some patients may need every 4 week (monthly) dosing after
`the first 20 weeks (5 months).
`2.5 Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
`The recommended dose for EYLEA is 2 mg (0.05 mL or 50 microliters)
`administered by intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (approximately every
`28 days, monthly) for the first 5 injections, followed by 2 mg (0.05 mL) via
`intravitreal injection once every 8 weeks (2 months). Although EYLEA may
`be dosed as frequently as 2 mg every 4 weeks (approximately every 25 days,
`monthly), additional efficacy was not demonstrated in most patients when
`EYLEA was dosed every 4 weeks compared to every 8 weeks [see Clinical
`Studies (14.S)]. Some patients may need every 4 week (monthly) dosing after
`the first 20 weeks (5 months).
`2.6 Preparation for Administration - Pre-filled Syringe
`The EYLEA pre-filled glass syringe is sterile and for single use only. It should
`be inspected visually prior to administration. Do not use if particulates,
`cloudiness, or discoloration are visible, or if the package is open or damaged.
`The appearance of the syringe cap on the pre-filled syringe may vary (for
`example, color and design). Do not use if any part of the pre-filled syringe is
`damaged or if the syringe cap is detached from the Luer lock.
`The intravitreal injection should be performed with a 30-gauge x 'A-inch
`injection needle (not provided).
`The pre-filled syringe contains more than the recommended dose of 2 mg
`atlibercept (equivalent to 50 microliters). The excess volume must be
`discarded prior to the administration.
`
`['RE-FILLED SYRINGE DESCRIPTION - Figure I:
`
`Use aseptic technique to carry ou the following steps:
`I. PREPARE
`When ready to administer EYLEA, open the carton and remove sterilized blister
`pack. Carefully peel open the sterilized blister pack ensuring the sterility of its
`contents. Keep the syringe in the sterile tray until you are ready for assembly.
`2. REMOVE SYRINGE
`Using aseptic technique, remove the syringe from the sterilized blister pack.
`3. TWIST OFF SYRINGE CAP
`Twist offthe syringe cap by holding the syringe in one hand and the syringe cap
`with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand (see Figure 2).
`Note: To avoid compromising the sterility of the product, do not pull back on
`he plunger.

`
`2.8 Injection Procedure
`The intravitreal injection procedure should be carried out under controlled
`aseptic conditions, which include surgical hand disinfection and the use of
`sterile gloves, a sterile drape, and a sterile eyelid speculum (or equivalent).
`Adequate anesthesia and a topical broad—spectrum microbicide should be given
`prior to the injection.
`Note for the pre-filled syringe: A small residual volume may remain in the
`syringe after a full dose has been injected. This is normal.
`Immediately following the intravitreal injection, patients should be monitored
`for elevation in intraocular pressure. Appropriate monitoring may consist of a
`check for perfusion of the optic nerve head or tonometty. If required, a sterile
`paracentesis needle should be available.
`Following intravitreal injection, patients should be instructed to report any
`symptoms suggestive of endophthalmitis or retinal detachment (e.g., eye pain,
`redness of the eye, photophobia, blurring of vision) without delay [see Patient
`Counseling lnfo;.n,at,a,, (17)].
`Each sterile, pre-filled syringe or vial should only be used for the treatment of
`a single eye. If the contralateral eye requires treatment, a new sterile, pre-fulled
`syringe or vial should be used and the sterile field, syringe, gloves, drapes,
`eyelid speculum, filter, and injection needles should be changed before EYLEA
`is administered to the other eye.
`After injection, any unused product must be discarded.
`3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
`EYLEA is a clear, colorless to pale yellow solution available as:
`Injection: 2 mg/0.05 mL in a single-dose pre-filled glass syringe
`Injection: 2 mg/0.05 all, in a single-dose glass vial
`4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
`4.1 Ocular or Perioctitar Infections
`EYLEA is contraindicated in patients with ocular or periocular infections.
`4.2 Active Intraocular Inflammation
`EYLEA is contraindicated in patients with active intraocular inflammation.
`4.3 Ilypersensitivity
`EYLEA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity toaflibercept
`or any of the excipients in EYLEA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as
`rash, pruritus, urticaria, severe anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions, or severe
`intraocular inflammation.
`5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`5.1 Endophthalmitis and Retinal Detachments
`Intravitreal injections, including those with EYLEA, have been associated
`with endophthalmitis and retinal detachments [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
`Proper aseptic injection technique must always be used when administering
`EYLEA. Patients should be instructed to report any symptoms suggestive of
`endophthalmitis or retinal detachment without delay and should be managed
`appropriately [see Dosage and Administration (2.8) and Patient Counseling
`lnfartnanan ()1
`5.2 Increase in Intraocular Pressure
`Acute increases in intraocular pressure have been seen within 60 minutes of
`intravitreal injection, including with EYLEA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
`Sustained increases in intraocular pressure have also been reported after
`repeated intravitreal dosing with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
`inhibitors. Intraocular pressure and the perfusion of the optic nerve head should
`be monitored and managed appropriately [see Dosage and Administration
`(2.8)].
`&3 Thromboembolic Events
`There is a potential risk of arterial thromboembolic events (ATEs) following
`intravitreal use of VEOF inhibitors, including EYLEA. ATEs are defined as
`nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or vascular death (including
`deaths of unknown cause). The incidence of reported thromboembolic events
`in wet AMD studies during the first year was 1.8% (32 out of 1824) in the
`combined group of patients treated with EYLEA compared with 1.5% (9 out
`of 595) in patients treated with ranibizumab; through 96 weeks, the incidence
`was 3.3% (60 out of 1824) in the EYLEA group compared with 3.2% (19 out of
`595) in the ranibizumab group. The incidence in the DME studies from baseline
`to week 52 was 3.3% (19 out of 578) in the combined group of patients treated
`with EYLEA compared with 2.8% (8 out of 287) in the control group; from
`baseline to week 100, the incidence was 6.4% (37 out of 578) in the combined
`group of patients treated with EYLEA compared with 4.2% (12 out of 287)
`in the control group. There were no reported thromboembolic events in the
`patients treated with EYLEA in the first six months of the RVO studies.
`6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
`The following potentially serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in
`the labeling:
`• Hypersensitivity [see Canlraindications (4.3)]
`Endophthalmitis and retinal detachments [see ll'annngs and Precautions
`(5.1)]
`• Increase in intraocular pressure [see U'aniUigs and Precautions (5.2)]
`
`Thromboembolic events [see tltzriings and Precautions (5.3)]
`6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
`Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse
`reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly
`compared to rates in other clinical trials of the same or another drug and may
`not reflect the rates observed in practice.
`A total of 2980 patients treated with EYLEA constituted the safety population
`in eight phase 3 studies. Among those, 2379 patients were treated with the
`recommended dose of 2 mg. Serious adverse reactions related to the injection
`procedure have occurred in <0.1% of intravitreal injections with EYLEA
`including endophthalmitis and retinal detachment. The most common adverse
`reactions (?5%) reported in patients receiving EYLEA were conjunctival
`hemorrhage, eye pain, cataract, vitreous detachment, vitreous floaters, and
`intraocular pressure increased.
`Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
`The data described below reflect exposure to EYLEA in 1824 patients with wet
`AMD, including 1223 patients treated with the 2-mg dose, in 2 double-masked,
`controlled clinical studies (VIEW] and V1EW2) for 24 months (with active
`control in year I) [see Clinical Studies (14.1)].
`Safety data observed in the EYLEA group in a 52-week, double-masked, Phase 2
`study were consistent with these results.

`Less common adver e reactions reported in Cl 0! of the patients treated with
`EYLEA were hypers nsitivity, retinal detachmen , retinal tear, corneal edema,
`and injection site hemorrhage.
`Safety data observed in 269 patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy
`(NPDR) through week 52 in the PANORAMA trial were consistent with those
`seen in the phase 3 VIVID and VISTA trials (see Table 3 above).
`6.2 lmmunogenicity
`As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for an immune response in
`patients treated with EYLEA. The immunogenicity of EYLEA was evaluated
`in serum samples. The immunogenicity data reflect the percentage of patients
`whose test results were considered positive for antibodies to EYLEA in
`immunoassays. The detection of an immune response is highly dependent
`on the sensitivity and specificity of the assays used, sample handling, timing
`of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For
`
`these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to EYLEA with the
`incidence of antibodies to other products may be misleading.
`In the wet AMD, RVO, and DME studies, the pre-treatment incidence of
`immunoreactivity to EYLEA was approximately 1% to 3% across treatment
`groups. After dosing with EYLEA for 24- 100 weeks, antibodies to EYLEA were
`detected in a similar percentage range of patients. There were no differences in
`efficacy or safety between patients with or without immunoreactivity.
`8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
`LI Pregnancy
`Risk Summary
`Adequate and well-controlled studies with EYLEA have not been conducted in
`pregnant 'vomen. Aflibercept produced adverse embryofetal effects in rabbits,
`including external, visceral, and skeletal malformations. A fetal No Observed
`Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was not identified. At the lowest dose shown
`to produce adverse embryofetal effects, systemic exposures (based on AUC for
`free aflibercept) were approximately 6 times higher than AUC values observed
`in humans after a single intravitreal treatment at the recommended clinical dose
`[see Animal Data].
`Animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, and
`it is not known whether EYLEA can cause fetal harm when administered to a
`pregnant woman. Based on the anti-VEGF mechanism of action for aflibercept
`[see Clinical Phannacology (12.])], treatment with EYLEA may pose a risk to
`human embryofetal development. EYLEA should be used during pregnancy
`only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
`All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse
`outcomes. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the
`indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated
`background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized
`pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.
`
`DIIIII
`Animal Data
`In two embryofetal development studies, aflibercept produced adverse
`embryofetal effects when administered every three days during organogenesis
`to pregnant rabbits at intravenous doses a3 mg per kg, or every six days during
`organogenesis at subcutaneous doses ≥0. I mg per kg.
`Adverse embryofetal effects included increased incidences of postimplantation
`loss and fetal malformations, including anasarca, umbilical hernia,
`diaphragmatic hernia, gastroschisis, cleft palate, eetrodactyly, intestinal atresia,
`spina bifida, encephalomeningocele, heart and major vessel defects, and
`skeletal malformations (fused vertebrae, steniebrae, and ribs; supernumerary
`vertebral arches and ribs; and incomplete ossification). The maternal No
`Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) in these studies was 3 mg per kg.
`Aflibercept produced fetal malformations at all doses assessed in rabbits and the
`fetal NOAEL was not identified. At the lowest dose shown to produce adverse
`embryofetal effects in rabbits (0.1 mg per kg), systemic exposure (AUC) of free
`aflibercept was approximately 6 times higher than systemic exposure (AUC)
`observed in humans after a single intravitreal dose of 2 mg.
`8.2 Lactation
`Risk Summary
`There is no information regarding the presence of aflibercept in human milk,
`the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk
`production/excretion. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, and
`because the potential for absorption and harm to infant growth and development
`exists, EYLEA is not recommended during breastfeeding.
`The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered
`along with the mother's clinical need for EYLEA and any potential adverse
`effects on the breastfed child from EYLEA.
`8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
`
`Contraception
`Females of reproductive potential are advised to use effective contraception
`prior to the initial dose, during treatment, and for at least 3 months after the last
`intravitreal injection of EYLEA.
`Infertility
`There are no data regarding the effects of EYLEA on human fertility. Aflibercept
`adversely affected female and male reproductive systems in cynomolgus
`monkeys when administered by intravenous injection at a dose approximately
`1500 times higher than the systemic level observed humans with an intravitreal
`dose of 2 mg. A No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was not
`identified. These findings were reversible within 20 weeks after cessation of
`treatment [see Nonclinical Toxicolo.' (13.1)].
`8.4 Pediatric Use
`The safety and effectiveness of EYLEA in pediatric patients have not been
`established.

`Specific Populations
`Rena! Impairment
`Pharniaeokinetic analysis of a subgroup of patients (n=492) in one wet AMD
`study, of which 43% had renal impairment (mild n120, moderate n=74, and
`severe n=16), revealed no differences with respect to plasma concentrations
`of free aflibercept after intravitreal administration every 4 or 8 weeks. Similar
`results were seen in patients in a RVO study and in patients in a DME study.
`No dose adjustment based on renal impairment status is needed for either wet
`AMD, RVO, or DME patients.
`Oilier
`No special dosage modification is required for any of the populations that have
`been studied (e.g., gender, elderly).
`13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
`13.1 Carcinogenesis, f.lutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
`No studies have been conducted on the mutagenic or carcinogenic potential
`of atlibereept. Effects on male and female fertility were assessed as part of
`a 6-month study in monkeys with intravenous administration of aflibercept
`at weekly doses ranging from 3 to 30 mg per kg. Absent or irregular menses
`associated with alterations in female reproductive hormone levels and changes
`in sperm morphology and motility were observed at all dose levels. In addition,
`females showed decreased ovarian and uterine weight accompanied by
`compromised laical development and reduction of maturing follicles. These
`changes correlated with uterine and vaginal atrophy. A No Observed Adverse
`Effect Level NOAEL) was not identified. Intravenous administration of the
`lowest dose ofafliberceprassessed in monkeys(3 mgperkg) resulted insystemic
`exposure (AUC) for free aflibercept that was approximately 1500 times higher
`than the systemic exposure observed in humans after an intravitreal dose of
`2 mg. All changes were reversible within 20 weeks after cessation of treatment.
`13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology
`Erosions and ulcerations of the respiratory epithelium in nasal turbinates in
`monkeys treated with aflibercept intravitreally were observed at intravitreal
`doses of 2 or 4 mg per eye. At the NOAEL of 0.5 mg per eye in monkeys,
`the systemic exposure (AUC) was 56 times higher than the exposure observed
`in humans after an intravitreal dose of 2 mg. Similar effects were not seen in
`clinical studies see Clinical Studies (/4)].
`14 CLINICALSTUDIES
`14.1 Neovascular (Vet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
`The safety and efficacy of EYLEA were assessed in two randomized, multi-
`center, double-masked, active-controlled studies in patients with wet AMD.
`A total of 2412 patients were treated and evaluable for efficacy (1817 with
`EYLEA) in the two studies (VIEW] and VIEW2). In each study, up to
`week 52, patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to I of 4 dosing
`regimens: I) EYLEA administered 2 mg every 8 weeks following 3 initial
`monthly doses (EYLEA 2Q8); 2) EYLEA administered 2 mg every 4 weeks
`(EYLEA 2Q4); 3) EYLEA 0.5 mg administered every 4 weeks (EYLEA
`0.5Q4); and 4) ranibizumab administered 0.5 mg every 4 weeks (ranibizumab
`0.5 mg Q4). Protocol-specified visits occurred every 28±3 days. Patient ages
`ranged from 49 to 99 years with a mean of 76 years.
