Indications & Important Safety Information for Fibryga, Fibrinogen (Human)
Indications and Usage
Fibryga is a human fibrinogen concentrate indicated for fibrinogen supplementation in bleeding patients with acquired fibrinogen deficiency and in treatment of acute bleeding episodes in patients with congenital fibrinogen deficiency, including afibrinogenemia and hypofibrinogenemia.
Fibryga is not indicated for dysfibrinogenemia.
Contraindications
Fibryga is contraindicated in individuals who have manifested severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to fibryga or its components (Sodium Citrate Dihydrate; Glycine; L-Arginine Hydrochloride).
Warnings and Precautions
Monitor patients for early signs of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions. If necessary, discontinue administration and institute appropriate treatment.
Thrombotic events have been reported in patients receiving fibryga. Treatment with human fibrinogen concentrate in congenital fibrinogen deficiency has been associated with thrombosis at target plasma fibrinogen levels that were below 150 mg/dL. The thrombotic risks may be greater when the target fibrinogen plasma level is 150 mg/dL. Weigh the benefits of administration versus the risks of thrombosis.
Fibryga is made from pooled human plasma. Products made from human plasma may contain infectious agents, e.g., viruses and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent.
Adverse Reactions
The most serious adverse reactions observed with fibryga are thromboembolic episodes and anaphylactic-type reactions.
The most common adverse reactions observed in clinical studies with fibryga in acquired fibrinogen deficiency (>5% of patients) were abnormal hepatic function, acute kidney injury, anemia, atrial fibrillation, delirium and renal failure.
The most common adverse reactions observed in clinical studies with fibryga in congenital fibrinogen deficiency (>5% of patients) were nausea, vomiting, pyrexia (fever) and thrombocytosis.
