( 2.2 ) May decrease dosage to 3 mg/kg IV infusion over 60 minutes once every 4 weeks if 10 mg/kg is not tolerated. ( 2.2 ) See Full Prescribing Information for preparation and administration instructions. ( 2.3 )
2.1Pregnancy Testing Prior to Treatment with PASATRU Verify that females of reproductive potential are not pregnant prior to initiating PASATRU [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .
2.2Recommended Dosage The recommended starting dosage of PASATRU is 10 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes once every 4 weeks. The dosage of PASATRU may be decreased to 3 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes once every 4 weeks if 10 mg/kg is not tolerated. If a dose of PASATRU is missed, administer the dose as soon as possible.
Thereafter, PASATRU should be scheduled once every 4 weeks from the date of the last dose.
2.3Preparation and Administration Instructions Preparation Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. PASATRU is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution. Discard the vial if the solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains particulate matter.
Each vial is intended for one-time use only. Do not shake the vial. Withdraw the required volume from the vial(s) of PASATRU and transfer into an intravenous infusion bag [polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyolefin (PO), or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)] containing a minimum of 50 mL and a maximum of 100 mL of 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to prepare a diluted solution with a final concentration ranging from 0.9 mg/mL to 25 mg/mL.
Mix the diluted solution by gentle inversion. Do not shake the solution. Discard any unused portion left in the vial.
Storage of Infusion Solution Use diluted PASATRU immediately. If not used immediately, store the diluted solution refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no more than 24 hours or at room temperature up to 25°C (77°F) for no more than 16 hours from the time of preparation to the start of infusion. Do not freeze the diluted solution.
Administration If refrigerated, allow the diluted solution to come to room temperature prior to administration. Administer PASATRU diluted solution by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes using an infusion set constructed of PVC, polyethylene (PE)-lined PVC, or polyurethane (PU). A sterile, in-line or add-on, 0.2-micron to 5-micron polyethersulfone (PES) or polyamide (PA) filter is recommended.
PASATRU should be administered using an infusion pump to control the rate of infusion. Upon completion of the PASATRU infusion, flush the infusion line with an adequate volume of sterile 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to ensure that the entire contents of the infusion bag are administered. Do not mix other drugs with PASATRU or administer other drugs concomitantly via the same infusion line.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: PASATRU can cause fetal harm. Verify females of reproductive potential are not pregnant prior to initiating PASATRU and advise of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. Advise the patient to discontinue PASATRU immediately if pregnancy occurs during treatment and to contact their healthcare provider.
( 2.1 , 4 , 5.1 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Have occurred in patients treated with PASATRU. Advise patients to report signs or symptoms of infection to their healthcare provider. ( 5.2 ) Epistaxis: Spontaneous epistaxis, including serious cases requiring medical intervention, has been reported in patients receiving PASATRU.
Advise patients to seek medical attention if they experience epistaxis that is severe, prolonged and does not resolve with standard first-aid measures. ( 5.3 )
5.1Embryo-Fetal Toxicity PASATRU is contraindicated during pregnancy. Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal reproduction studies, PASATRU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . Intravenous administration of garetosmab-grts to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys resulted in embryo-fetal toxicity, infant mortality, and post-natal malformations at exposures equivalent to or higher than those in patients at the recommended human doses of PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively.
For females of reproductive potential, verify that the patient is not pregnant prior to initiating treatment. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PASATRU and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise the patient to discontinue PASATRU immediately if pregnancy occurs during treatment and to contact their healthcare provider [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] .
5.2Skin and Soft Tissue Infections Skin and soft tissue infections requiring treatment and/or hospitalization, including abscesses and cellulitis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , have occurred in patients receiving PASATRU in clinical trials. Advise patients to report signs or symptoms of skin infection, including erythema, pain, swelling, or fever, and to seek medical attention if these occur.
5.3Epistaxis Spontaneous epistaxis, including serious cases requiring medical intervention, has been reported in patients receiving PASATRU. In clinical trials in the FOP population, one serious case of spontaneous epistaxis occurred that required hospitalization for nasal packing and application of a clotting agent. Advise patients to seek medical attention if they experience epistaxis that is severe, prolonged (e.g., lasting more than 20 minutes) and does not resolve with standard first-aid measures.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Skin and Soft Tissue Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Epistaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥10%) are abscess, acne, increased hair growth, madarosis, oral ulcers, and epistaxis.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary PASATRU is contraindicated for use during pregnancy. Based on its mechanism of action and data from animal reproduction studies, PASATRU can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on PASATRU during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
Although there are no data on PASATRU exposure during pregnancy, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta. Inhibition of activin A signaling by PASATRU during pregnancy may adversely affect embryogenesis and fetal organogenesis, including development of the reproductive system (see Clinical Considerations ) . In an enhanced pre- and post-natal developmental (ePPND) toxicity study, intravenous administration of garetosmab-grts to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys resulted in developmental toxicity, including post-natal malformations, neurobehavioral deficits, and infant mortality at exposures equivalent to or higher than those in patients at the recommended human doses of PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively ( see Data ).
If pregnancy occurs during treatment with PASATRU, discontinue treatment immediately, and advise the patient to contact their healthcare provider. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
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. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses, and peaks during the third trimester. Therefore, it is expected that PASATRU may be present in infants exposed in utero.
The potential clinical impact of PASATRU exposure in infants exposed in utero should be considered. Data Animal Data In an ePPND toxicity study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were administered intravenous doses of garetosmab-grts 5 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg once weekly beginning from gestation day 20 through delivery, with no evidence of maternal toxicity at either dose level. An increased incidence of post-natal malformations, including neurological deficiencies and testes malformations, were observed in offspring at 5 mg/kg/week (approximately equivalent to or 4 times the recommended human doses of PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively, based on area under the concentration curve [AUC]).
Increased incidences of stillbirth, premature delivery, post-natal malformations including generalized alopecia, and infant mortality were observed in offspring of pregnant monkeys receiving treatment with garetosmab-grts at 50 mg/kg/week (approximately 9 times or 31 times the recommended human doses of PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks, respectively, based on AUC).
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of PASATRU in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to PASATRU are unknown.
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions of PASATRU absorption in the breastfed infant, including skin and soft tissue infections, and the potential for effects on male reproductive organ development based on the mechanism of action, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with PASATRU and for 6 months after the last dose.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action FOP is caused by gain-of-function mutations in the intracellular domain of activin receptor type 1 (ACVR1, also known as ALK2), a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptor that is expressed in many tissues, including skeletal muscle and cartilage. In patients with FOP, mutant ACVR1 is activated by activin A resulting in heterotopic ossification. Garetosmab-grts is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to and inhibits signaling by activin A to block the activation of FOP-mutant ACVR1 and reduce the formation and progression of new heterotopic bone lesions.
12.2Pharmacodynamics No pharmacodynamic studies have been conducted with garetosmab-grts.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Following multiple doses of garetosmab-grts 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg administered intravenously every 4 weeks in patients with FOP, the steady-state exposures were approximately dose proportional. The mean (SD) trough concentrations at steady-state following intravenous administration of garetosmab-grts 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks were 99 (34) mg/L or 27 (10) mg/L, respectively, in patients with FOP. Steady-state concentrations were attained by approximately 12 weeks with an accumulation ratio of approximately 1.7-fold.
Distribution The estimated mean (SD) volume of distribution is 5.1 (1.2) L. Elimination Garetosmab-grts is eliminated by parallel linear and non-linear pathways. At higher concentrations, the elimination is predominantly through the linear, non-saturable proteolytic pathway, while at lower concentrations, non-linear, target-mediated clearance predominates.
After the last dose of garetosmab-grts 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg administered intravenously every 4 weeks in patients with FOP, the median time to a non-detectable concentration was approximately 24 weeks or 17 weeks, respectively, based on population pharmacokinetic analysis. Metabolism Garetosmab-grts is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG. Specific Populations No clinically meaningful differences in the exposure of garetosmab-grts were observed in adults based on age (18 to 70 years), sex, body weight (32 to 128 kg), race (White 86%, Asian 10%, Black 1%), mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault equation), or mild to moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to ≤ 3 times upper limit of normal [ULN] and any aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) following 10 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg administered once every 4 weeks.
The effect of severe renal impairment or kidney failure (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) and severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 times ULN and any AST) on garetosmab-grts pharmacokinetics is unknown. Since garetosmab-grts is a monoclonal antibody that is not eliminated via renal pathways and is degraded by widely distributed proteolytic enzymes rather than restricted to hepatic tissue, changes in renal or hepatic function are not expected to impact the pharmacokinetics of garetosmab-grts. Drug Interaction Studies No drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with garetosmab-grts.
12.6Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of PASATRU or of other garetosmab products. Among patients with FOP who received PASATRU 10 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks in clinical trials for up to 76 weeks, 1.3% (1/76) developed anti-garetosmab-grts antibodies.
There are insufficient data to assess whether there are clinically significant effects of anti-drug antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, safety, or effectiveness of PASATRU.
