📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Edaravone injection is used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease; a condition in which the nerves that control muscle movement slowly die, causing the muscles to shrink and weaken). Edaravone injection is in a class of medications called antioxidants. It may work to slow the nerve damage associated with the worsening of ALS symptoms.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ~2 min read ▾

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Sulfite Allergic Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Most common adverse reactions (at least 10% of patients treated with edaravone injection and greater than placebo) are contusion, gait disturbance, and headache ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Sandoz Inc. at 1-800-525-8747 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch

6.1Clinical 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 the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In randomized, placebo-controlled trials, 184 patients with ALS were administered edaravone injection 60 mg in treatment cycles for 6 months. The population consisted of Japanese patients who had a median age of 60 years (range 29-75) and were 59% male.

Most (93%) of these patients were living independently at the time of screening. Most Common Adverse Reactions Observed During Clinical Studies Table 2 lists the adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 2% of patients in the edaravone injection-treated group and that occurred at least 2% more frequently than in the placebo-treated group in randomized placebo-controlled ALS trials. The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥10% of edaravone injection-treated patients were contusion, gait disturbance, and headache.

Table 2: Adverse Reactions from Pooled Placebo-Controlled Trials * that Occurred in ≥ 2% of Edaravone Injection-Treated Patients and ≥ 2% More Frequently than in Placebo Patients Adverse Reaction Edaravone Injection (N=184) % Placebo (N=184) % Contusion 15 9 Gait disturbance 13 9 Headache 10 6 Dermatitis 8 5 Eczema 7 4 Respiratory failure, respiratory disorder, hypoxia 6 4 Glycosuria 4 2 Tinea infection 4 2 * Pooled placebo-controlled studies include two additional studies with 231 additional patients, all using the same treatment regimen [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of edaravone injection. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis. [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.2 )].

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm ( 8.1 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of edaravone injection in pregnant women. In animal studies, administration of edaravone to pregnant rats and rabbits resulted in adverse developmental effects (increased mortality, decreased growth, delayed sexual development, and altered behavior) at clinically relevant doses. Most of these effects occurred at doses that were also associated with maternal toxicity ( see Animal Data ).

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. The background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage in patients with ALS is unknown. Data Animal Data In rats, intravenous administration of edaravone (0, 3, 30, or 300 mg/kg/day) throughout the period of organogenesis resulted in reduced fetal weight at all doses.

In dams allowed to deliver naturally, offspring weight was reduced at the highest dose tested. Maternal toxicity was also observed at the highest dose tested. There were no adverse effects on reproductive function in the offspring.

A no-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity was not identified; the low dose is less than the recommended human dose of 60 mg for edaravone injection, on a body surface area (mg/m 2 ) basis. In rabbits, intravenous administration of edaravone (0, 3, 20, or 100 mg/kg/day) throughout the period of organogenesis resulted in embryofetal death at the highest dose tested, which was associated with maternal toxicity. The higher no-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity is approximately 6 times the recommended human dose (RHD) for edaravone injection on a body surface area (mg/m 2 ) basis.

The effects on offspring of edaravone (0, 3, 20, or 200 mg/kg/day), administered by intravenous injection to rats from GD 17 throughout lactation, were assessed in two studies. In the first study, offspring mortality was observed at the high dose and increased activity was observed at the mid and high doses. In the second study, there was an increase in stillbirths, offspring mortality, and delayed physical development (vaginal opening) at the highest dose tested.

Reproduction function in offspring was not affected in either study. Maternal toxicity was evident in both studies at all but the lowest dose tested. The no-effect dose for developmental toxicity (3 mg/kg/day) is less than the RHD on a mg/m 2 basis.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of edaravone in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. Edaravone and its metabolites are excreted in the milk of lactating rats. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for edaravone injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from edaravone injection or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of edaravone injection in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5Geriatric Use Of the 184 patients with ALS who received edaravone injection in 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials, a total of 53 patients were 65 years of age and older, including 2 patients 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action The mechanism by which edaravone injection exerts its therapeutic effect in patients with ALS is unknown.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology At exposures at least 5 times higher than that of the recommended dose of edaravone injection, edaravone does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Edaravone injection is administered by IV infusion. The maximum plasma concentration (C max ) of edaravone was reached by the end of infusion. There was a trend of more than dose-proportional increase in area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and C max of edaravone.

With multiple-dose administration, edaravone does not accumulate in plasma. Distribution Edaravone is bound to human serum proteins (92%), mainly to albumin, with no concentration dependence in the range of 0.1 to 50 micromol/L. Edaravone has a mean volume of distribution after intravenous administration of

63.1L. Elimination The mean terminal elimination half-life of edaravone is approximately 4.5 to 9 hours. The half-lives of its metabolites are 3 to 6 hours. Following intravenous administration, the total clearance of edaravone is estimated to be

35.9L/h. Metabolism Edaravone is metabolized to a sulfate conjugate and a glucuronide conjugate, which are not pharmacologically active. The glucuronide conjugation of edaravone involves multiple uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms (UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A7, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, UGT1A10, UGT2B7, and UGT2B17).

In human plasma, edaravone is mainly detected as the sulfate conjugate, which is presumed to be formed by sulfotransferases. Excretion In Japanese and Caucasian healthy volunteer studies, edaravone was excreted mainly in the urine as its glucuronide conjugate (60-80% of the dose up to 48 hours). Approximately 6-8% of the dose was recovered in the urine as the sulfate conjugate, and <1% of the dose was recovered in the urine as the unchanged drug.

In vitro studies suggest that the sulfate conjugate of edaravone is hydrolyzed back to edaravone, which is then converted to the glucuronide conjugate in the kidney before excretion into the urine. Specific Populations Geriatric Patients No age effect on edaravone pharmacokinetics has been found [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5 )] . Patients with Renal Impairment Following single IV infusion of 30 mg edaravone (half the recommended dosage of edaravone injection) over 60 minutes, mean C max and AUC 0-∞ of unchanged edaravone were 1.15-and 1.20-fold greater in the subjects with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73m 2 ) and were 1.25-and 1.29-fold greater in the subjects with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73m 2 ) when compared to subjects with normal renal function, respectively.

These changes in exposures are not considered to be clinically significant and therefore no dosage adjustments are necessary in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. The effects of severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of edaravone have not been studied. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Following single IV infusion of 30 mg edaravone (half of the recommended dose of edaravone injection) over 60 minutes, mean C max and AUC 0-∞ of unchanged edaravone were 1.20-and 1.07-fold greater in the subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 5 or 6), were 1.24-and 1.14-fold greater in the subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 7 to 9), and were 1.20-and 1.19-fold greater in the subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 10 to 14) when compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, respectively.

These changes in exposures are not considered to be clinically significant and therefore no dosage adjustments are necessary in patients with hepatic impairment. Male and Female Patients No gender effect on edaravone pharmacokinetics has been found. Racial or Ethnic Groups There were no significant raci… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ~3 min read ▾

12.3Pharmacokinetics Edaravone injection is administered by IV infusion. The maximum plasma concentration (C max ) of edaravone was reached by the end of infusion. There was a trend of more than dose-proportional increase in area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and C max of edaravone.

With multiple-dose administration, edaravone does not accumulate in plasma. Distribution Edaravone is bound to human serum proteins (92%), mainly to albumin, with no concentration dependence in the range of 0.1 to 50 micromol/L. Edaravone has a mean volume of distribution after intravenous administration of

63.1L. Elimination The mean terminal elimination half-life of edaravone is approximately 4.5 to 9 hours. The half-lives of its metabolites are 3 to 6 hours. Following intravenous administration, the total clearance of edaravone is estimated to be

35.9L/h. Metabolism Edaravone is metabolized to a sulfate conjugate and a glucuronide conjugate, which are not pharmacologically active. The glucuronide conjugation of edaravone involves multiple uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms (UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A7, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, UGT1A10, UGT2B7, and UGT2B17).

In human plasma, edaravone is mainly detected as the sulfate conjugate, which is presumed to be formed by sulfotransferases. Excretion In Japanese and Caucasian healthy volunteer studies, edaravone was excreted mainly in the urine as its glucuronide conjugate (60-80% of the dose up to 48 hours). Approximately 6-8% of the dose was recovered in the urine as the sulfate conjugate, and <1% of the dose was recovered in the urine as the unchanged drug.

In vitro studies suggest that the sulfate conjugate of edaravone is hydrolyzed back to edaravone, which is then converted to the glucuronide conjugate in the kidney before excretion into the urine. Specific Populations Geriatric Patients No age effect on edaravone pharmacokinetics has been found [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5 )] . Patients with Renal Impairment Following single IV infusion of 30 mg edaravone (half the recommended dosage of edaravone injection) over 60 minutes, mean C max and AUC 0-∞ of unchanged edaravone were 1.15-and 1.20-fold greater in the subjects with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73m 2 ) and were 1.25-and 1.29-fold greater in the subjects with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73m 2 ) when compared to subjects with normal renal function, respectively.

These changes in exposures are not considered to be clinically significant and therefore no dosage adjustments are necessary in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. The effects of severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of edaravone have not been studied. Patients with Hepatic Impairment Following single IV infusion of 30 mg edaravone (half of the recommended dose of edaravone injection) over 60 minutes, mean C max and AUC 0-∞ of unchanged edaravone were 1.20-and 1.07-fold greater in the subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 5 or 6), were 1.24-and 1.14-fold greater in the subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 7 to 9), and were 1.20-and 1.19-fold greater in the subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 10 to 14) when compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, respectively.

These changes in exposures are not considered to be clinically significant and therefore no dosage adjustments are necessary in patients with hepatic impairment. Male and Female Patients No gender effect on edaravone pharmacokinetics has been found. Racial or Ethnic Groups There were no significant racial differences in Cmax and AUC of edaravone between Japanese and Caucasian subjects.

Drug Interaction Studies The pharmacokinetics of edaravone is not expected to be significantly affected by inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, UGTs, or major transporters. In vitro studies demonstrated that, at the recommended dosage, edaravone and its metabolites are not expected t… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🔬 Clinical Studies ~2 min read ▾

14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of edaravone injection for the treatment of ALS was established in a 6-month, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study conducted in Japanese patients with ALS who were living independently and met the following criteria at screening: 1. Functionality retained most activities of daily living (defined as scores of 2 points or better on each individual item of the ALS Functional Rating Scale – Revised [ALSFRS-R; described below]) 2. Normal respiratory function (defined as percent-predicted forced vital capacity values of [%FVC] ≥ 80%) 3.

Definite or Probable ALS based on El Escorial revised criteria 4. Disease duration of 2 years or less The study enrolled 69 patients in the edaravone injection arm and 68 in the placebo arm. Baseline characteristics were similar between these groups, with over 90% of patients in each group being treated with riluzole.

Edaravone injection was administered as an intravenous infusion of 60 mg given over a 60-minute period according to the following schedule: • An initial treatment cycle with daily dosing for 14 days, followed by a 14-day drug-free period (Cycle 1) • Subsequent treatment cycles with daily dosing for 10 days out of 14-day periods, followed by 14-day drug-free periods (Cycles 2-6). The primary efficacy endpoint was a comparison of the change between treatment arms in the ALSFRS-R total scores from baseline to Week 24. The ALSFRS-R scale consists of 12 questions that evaluate the fine motor, gross motor, bulbar, and respiratory function of patients with ALS (speech, salivation, swallowing, handwriting, cutting food, dressing/hygiene, turning in bed, walking, climbing stairs, dyspnea, orthopnea, and respiratory insufficiency).

Each item is scored from 0-4, with higher scores representing greater functional ability. The decline in ALSFRS-R scores from baseline was significantly less in the edaravone injection-treated patients as compared to placebo (see Table 3 ). The distribution of change in ALSFRS-R scores from baseline to Week 24 by percent of patients is shown in Figure 1 .

Table 3: Analysis of Change from Baseline to Week 24 in ALSFRS-R Scores Treatment Change from Baseline LS Mean ± SE (95% CI) Treatment Difference (Edaravone Injection – placebo [95% CI]) p -value Edaravone Injection −5.01±0.64 2.49 (0.99, 3.98) 0.0013 Placebo −7.50±0.66 Figure 1: Distribution of Change from Baseline to Week 24 in ALSFRS-R Scores figure-1

PATIENT INFORMATION Edaravone Injection for Intravenous Infusion (e-DAR-a-vone) What is edaravone injection? Edaravone injection is a prescription medicine used to treat people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is not known if edaravone injection is safe and effective in children.

Do not receive edaravone injection if you are allergic to edaravone or any of the ingredients in edaravone injection. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in edaravone injection. Before you take edaravone injection, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: • have asthma. • are allergic to other medicines. • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

It is not known if edaravone injection will harm your unborn baby. • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if edaravone passes into your breastmilk. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you will receive edaravone injection or breastfeed.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. How will I receive edaravone injection? • You will be prescribed edaravone injection by a healthcare provider and told how often you will receive edaravone injection. • Edaravone injection will be given by intravenous (IV) infusion into your vein. • It takes about 1 hour to receive the full dose of edaravone injection. • Your healthcare provider will monitor you closely during your treatment with edaravone injection.

What are the possible side effects of edaravone injection? Edaravone injection may cause serious side effects including: 1. Hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions.

Hypersensitivity reactions have happened in people receiving edaravone injection and can happen after your infusion is finished. Tell your healthcare provider right away or go to the nearest emergency room if you have any of the following symptoms: • hives • breathing problem • itching • swelling of the lips, tongue, face • dizziness • wheezing • fainting 2. Sulfite allergic reactions. edaravone injection contains sodium bisulfite, a sulfite that may cause a type of allergic reaction that can be serious and life-threatening.

Sodium bisulfite can also cause less severe allergic reactions, for example, asthma episodes, in certain people. Sulfite sensitivity can happen more often in people who have asthma than in people who do not have asthma. Tell your healthcare provider right away or go to the nearest emergency room if you have any of the following symptoms: • hives • trouble breathing or swallowing • itching • swelling of the lips, tongue, face • dizziness • asthma attack (in people with asthma) • wheezing • fainting Your healthcare provider will monitor you during treatment to watch for signs and symptoms of all the serious side effects and allergic reactions.

Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for this package alone, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Sandoz Inc. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Sandoz Inc is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
Does this product have a billing J-code?
Yes — this NDC cross-references HCPCS code J1301 for medical-claim billing (typically used when a product is administered in a clinical setting rather than dispensed at a retail pharmacy). See the Billing section on this page.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
For educational and professional reference only — not medical advice. Pricing reflects published NADAC and CMS ASP (free public data) and may differ from your acquisition cost; always verify before billing or dispensing.
