`EYLEA is indicated for the treatment of patients with Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular
`Degeneration (AMD).
`
`2
`
`DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`
`General Dosing Information
`2.1
`FOR OPHTHALMIC INTRAVITREAL INJECTION ONLY. EYLEA must only be
`administered by a qualified physician.
`
`Dosing
`2.2
`The recommended dose for EYLEA is 2 mg (0.05 mL or 50 microliters) administered by
`intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (monthly) for the first 12 weeks (3 months), 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 (monthly), additional efficacy was not
`demonstrated when EYLEA was dosed every 4 weeks compared to every 8 weeks [see Clinical
`Studies (14)].
`
`Preparation for Administration
`2.3
`EYLEA should be inspected visually prior to administration. If particulates, cloudiness, or
`discoloration are visible, the vial must not be used.
`Using aseptic technique, the intravitreal injection should be performed with a 30-gauge x ½-inch
`injection needle.
`
`Vial
`The glass vial is for single use only.
`1. Remove the protective plastic cap from the vial (see Figure 1).

`
`
`
`
`
`6. Ensure that the plunger rod is drawn sufficiently back when emptying the vial in order to
`completely empty the filter needle.
`7. Remove the filter needle from the syringe and properly dispose of the filter needle.
`Note: Filter needle is not to be used for intravitreal injection.
`8. Remove the 30-gauge x ½-inch injection needle from the plastic pouch and attach the
`injection needle to the syringe by firmly twisting the injection needle onto the Luer lock
`syringe tip (see Figure 5).
`
`Figure 5:
`
`
`
`9. When ready to administer EYLEA, remove the plastic needle shield from the needle.
`10. Holding the syringe with the needle pointing up, check the syringe for bubbles. If there are
`bubbles, gently tap the syringe with your finger until the bubbles rise to the top (see Figure

`Administration
`2.4
`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.
`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 tonometry. 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 Information (17)].
`Each vial should only be used for the treatment of a single eye. If the contralateral eye requires
`treatment, a new vial should be used and the sterile field, syringe, gloves, drapes, eyelid
`
`Page 5 of 15

`
`
`
`speculum, filter, and injection needles should be changed before EYLEA is administered to the
`other eye.
`After injection, any unused product must be discarded.
`No special dosage modification is required for any of the populations that have been studied
`(e.g., gender, elderly).

`
`WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
`
`Endophthalmitis and Retinal Detachments
`5.1
`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 (2.4) and Patient Counseling
`Information (17)].
`
`Increase in Intraocular Pressure
`5.2
`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 VEGF inhibitors. Intraocular
`pressure and the perfusion of the optic nerve head should be monitored and managed
`appropriately [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
`
`Page 6 of 15
`
`Samsung Bioepis Exhibit 1059
`Page 6
`
`
`
`Thromboembolic Events
`5.3
`There is a potential risk of arterial thromboembolic events (ATEs) following intravitreal use of
`VEGF inhibitors, including EYLEA. ATEs are defined as nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial
`infarction, or vascular death (including deaths of unknown cause). The incidence in the VIEW1
`and VIEW2 wet AMD studies during the first year was 1.8% (32 out of 1824) in the combined
`group of patients treated with EYLEA [see Clinical Studies (14)].
`
`ADVERSE REACTIONS
`6
`The following adverse reactions are discussed in detail in other sections of the labeling:
`• Endophthalmitis and retinal detachments [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
`•
`Increased intraocular pressure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
`● Thromboembolic events [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
`The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) reported in patients receiving EYLEA were
`conjunctival hemorrhage, eye pain, cataract, vitreous detachment, vitreous floaters, and increased
`intraocular pressure.
`
`Injection Procedure
`6.1
`Serious adverse reactions related to the injection procedure have occurred in <0.1% of
`intravitreal injections with EYLEA including endophthalmitis, traumatic cataract, and increased
`intraocular pressure.
`
`Clinical Studies Experience
`6.2
`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 the clinical trials
`of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
`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, active-controlled clinical studies
`(VIEW1 and VIEW2) for 12 months [see Clinical Studies (14)].

`Less common serious adverse reactions reported in <1% of the patients treated with EYLEA
`were retinal detachment, retinal tear, and endophthalmitis. Hypersensitivity has also been
`reported in less than 1% of the patients treated with EYLEA.
`
`Immunogenicity
`6.3
`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 phase 3 studies, the pre-treatment incidence of immunoreactivity to EYLEA was 1% to
`3% across treatment groups. After dosing with EYLEA for 52 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.

`
`USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
`
`Pregnancy
`8.1
`Pregnancy Category C. Aflibercept produced embryo-fetal toxicity when administered during
`organogenesis in pregnant rabbits at intravenous doses of 3 to 60 mg/kg. A series of external,
`visceral, and skeletal malformations were observed in the fetuses. The maternal No Observed
`Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was 3 mg/kg, whereas the fetal NOAEL was below 3 mg/kg. At
`this dose, the systemic exposures based on Cmax and AUC for free aflibercept were
`approximately 2900 times and 600 times higher, respectively, when compared to corresponding
`values observed in humans after an intravitreal dose of 2 mg.
`There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. EYLEA should be used
`during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
`
`Nursing Mothers
`8.3
`It is unknown whether aflibercept is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted
`in human milk, a risk to the breastfed child cannot be excluded. EYLEA is not recommended
`during breastfeeding. A decision must be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue
`treatment with EYLEA, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
`
`Pediatric Use
`8.4
`The safety and effectiveness of EYLEA in pediatric patients have not been established.
`
`Geriatric Use
`8.5
`In the clinical studies, approximately 89% (1616/1817) of patients randomized to treatment with
`EYLEA were ≥65 years of age and approximately 63% (1139/1817) were ≥75 years of age. No
`significant differences in efficacy or safety were seen with increasing age in these studies.
`
`DESCRIPTION
`11
`EYLEA (aflibercept) is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of portions of human VEGF
`receptors 1 and 2 extracellular domains fused to the Fc portion of human IgG1 formulated as an
`iso-osmotic solution for intravitreal administration. Aflibercept is a dimeric glycoprotein with a
`protein molecular weight of 97 kilodaltons (kDa) and contains glycosylation, constituting an
`additional 15% of the total molecular mass, resulting in a total molecular weight of 115 kDa.
`Aflibercept is produced in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
`EYLEA is a sterile, clear, and colorless to pale yellow solution. EYLEA is supplied as a
`preservative-free, sterile, aqueous solution in a single-use, glass vial designed to deliver 0.05 mL
`(50 microliters) of EYLEA (40 mg/mL in 10 mM sodium phosphate, 40 mM sodium chloride,
`0.03% polysorbate 20, and 5% sucrose, pH 6.2).

`
`CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`
`12.1 Mechanism of Action
`Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and placental growth factor (PlGF) are
`members of the VEGF family of angiogenic factors that can act as mitogenic, chemotactic, and
`vascular permeability factors for endothelial cells. VEGF acts via two receptor tyrosine kinases,
`VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2, present on the surface of endothelial cells. PlGF binds only to
`VEGFR-1, which is also present on the surface of leucocytes. Activation of these receptors by
`VEGF-A can result in neovascularization and vascular permeability.
`Aflibercept acts as a soluble decoy receptor that binds VEGF-A and PlGF, and thereby can
`inhibit the binding and activation of these cognate VEGF receptors.
`
`Pharmacodynamics
`12.2
`In the phase 3 studies anatomic measures of disease activity improved similarly in all treatment
`groups from baseline to week 52. Anatomic data were not used to influence treatment decisions.
`
`Pharmacokinetics
`12.3
`EYLEA is administered intravitreally to exert local effects in the eye. In patients with wet AMD,
`following intravitreal administration of EYLEA, a fraction of the administered dose is expected
`to bind with endogenous VEGF in the eye to form an inactive aflibercept: VEGF complex. Once
`absorbed into the systemic circulation, aflibercept presents in the plasma as free aflibercept
`(unbound to VEGF) and a more predominant stable inactive form with circulating endogenous
`VEGF (i.e., aflibercept: VEGF complex).
`
`Absorption/Distribution
`Following intravitreal administration of 2 mg per eye of EYLEA to patients with wet AMD, the
`mean Cmax of free aflibercept in the plasma was 0.02 mcg/mL (range: 0 to 0.054 mcg/mL) and
`was attained in 1 to 3 days. The free aflibercept plasma concentrations were undetectable two
`weeks post-dosing in all patients. Aflibercept did not accumulate in plasma when administered as
`repeated doses intravitreally every 4 weeks. It is estimated that after intravitreal administration of
`2 mg to patients, the mean maximum plasma concentration of free aflibercept is more than
`100 fold lower than the concentration of aflibercept required to half-maximally bind systemic
`VEGF.
`The volume of distribution of free aflibercept following intravenous (I.V.) administration of
`aflibercept has been determined to be approximately 6L.
`
`Metabolism/Elimination
`Aflibercept is a therapeutic protein and no drug metabolism studies have been conducted.
`Aflibercept is expected to undergo elimination through both target-mediated disposition via
`binding to free endogenous VEGF and metabolism via proteolysis. The terminal elimination
`
`Page 10 of 15
`
`Samsung Bioepis Exhibit 1059
`Page 10
`
`
`
`half-life (t1/2) of free aflibercept in plasma was approximately 5 to 6 days after I.V.
`administration of doses of 2 to 4 mg/kg aflibercept.
`Specific Populations
`Renal Impairment
`Pharmacokinetic analysis of a subgroup of patients (n=492) in one Phase 3 study, of which 43%
`had renal impairment (mild n=120, 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. No dose adjustment based on renal impairment status is needed.
`
`13
`
`NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
`
`Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
`13.1
`No studies have been conducted on the mutagenic or carcinogenic potential of aflibercept.
`Effects on male and female fertility were assessed as part of a 6-month study in monkeys with
`intravenous administration of aflibercept at doses ranging from 3 to 30 mg/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 luteal development and
`reduction of maturing follicles. These changes correlated with uterine and vaginal atrophy. A No
`Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was not identified. Based on Cmax and AUC for free
`aflibercept observed at the lowest dose used of 3 mg/kg, the systemic exposures were
`approximately 4900 times and 1500 times higher, respectively, than the exposure observed in
`humans after an intravitreal dose of 2 mg. All changes were reversible.
`
`Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology
`13.2
`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/eye. At the NOAEL of
`0.5 mg/eye in monkeys, the systemic exposure was 42 times and 56 times higher based on Cmax
`and AUC, respectively, than the exposure observed in humans after an intravitreal dose of 2 mg.
`Similar effects were not seen in clinical studies [see Clinical Studies (14)].
`
`CLINICAL STUDIES
`14
`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 (VIEW1 and VIEW2).
`In each study, patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 4 dosing regimens:
`1) 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). Patient ages ranged from 49 to 99 years with a mean of 76 years.
`
`Page 11 of 15
`
`Samsung Bioepis Exhibit 1059
`Page 11
`
`
`
`In both studies, the primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients who maintained
`vision, defined as losing fewer than 15 letters of visual acuity at week 52 compared to baseline.
`Data are available through week 52. Both EYLEA 2Q8 and EYLEA 2Q4 groups were shown to
`have efficacy that was clinically equivalent to the ranibizumab 0.5 mg Q4 group.
`Detailed results from the analysis of the VIEW1 and VIEW2 studies are shown in Table 2 and

`advised not to drive or use machinery until visual function has recovered sufficiently.
`In the days following EYLEA administration, patients are at risk of developing endophthalmitis

`vision, the patient should seek immediate care from an ophthalmologist [see Warnings and
