Studies of VOYDEYA showed significant improvements in ongoing anemia due to EVH

How was VOYDEYA studied?

VOYDEYA was studied for 12 weeks in adults with PNH who had extravascular hemolysis (EVH) and had been on a stable dose of ULTOMIRIS® (ravulizumab-cwvz) or SOLIRIS® (eculizumab) for at least 6 months.

Adding VOYDEYA may improve certain lab test results, and help you do more of the activities you want

Arrow up

Increase hemoglobin levels

  • Significantly increased by an average of 2.9 g/dL at 12 weeks compared with an increase of 0.5 g/dL in patients taking placeboa
Arrow up

Maintain LDH levels

  • ULTOMIRISb continued to control IVH, one of the severe aspects of PNH, by maintaining LDH levels
Arrow up

Reduce reticulocyte (immature red blood cell) levels

  • Significantly reduced at 12 weeks compared with patients taking
    placebo, showing that EVH was effectively managed

If ongoing anemia due to EVH occurs, adding VOYDEYA may help you manage it.

Adding VOYDEYA can help you get relief from ongoing fatigue and the need for blood transfusions

Change in FACIT-Fatigue score over time is considered exploratory in nature. No conclusions can be made about the effect of VOYDEYA on FACIT-Fatigue before Week 12.

After 12 weeks, patients taking VOYDEYA reported an average FACIT-Fatigue score of 42 points compared with an average score of 35.5 points with placebo.

Adding VOYDEYA helped further reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions

Approximately 4 of 5 patients who took VOYDEYA were transfusion-free at 12 weeks (83%) compared with about 2 of 5 patients who took placebo (38%).

VOYDEYA was well tolerated in clinical studies

The most common side effect was headache.

Other possible side effects included: vomiting, fever, elevated liver enzymes shown on a blood test, high blood pressure, and pain in arms or legs.

Three patients taking VOYDEYA experienced serious side effects, including pancreas inflammation, gallbladder inflammation, and increased levels of bilirubind in the blood.

Your healthcare provider will make sure you have any necessary vaccines before starting VOYDEYA

As part of your treatment with ULTOMIRIS,b you must be up to date on meningococcal vaccines and any other vaccines your healthcare provider determines are needed.

Your doctor will monitor your cholesterol and liver values

Important safety information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR VOYDEYA

What is the most important information I should know about VOYDEYA?

VOYDEYA is a medicine that affects your immune system. VOYDEYA may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections.

  • VOYDEYA increases your chance of getting serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria. These serious infections may quickly become life-threatening and cause death if not recognized and treated early.
  1. You must complete or update meningococcal vaccine(s) and streptococcus vaccine(s) at least 2 weeks before your first dose of VOYDEYA.
  2. If you have not completed your vaccinations and VOYDEYA must be started right away, you should receive the required vaccinations as soon as possible.
  3. If you have not been vaccinated at least 2 weeks before your first VOYDEYA dose and VOYDEYA must be started right away, you should also receive antibiotics to take for as long as your healthcare provider tells you.
  4. If you have been vaccinated against these bacteria in the past, you might need additional vaccinations before starting VOYDEYA. Your healthcare provider will decide if you need additional vaccinations.
  5. Vaccines do not prevent all infections caused by encapsulated bacteria. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away if you have any of these signs and symptoms of a serious infection: fever with or without chills, fever and a rash, fever with chest pain and cough, fever with breathlessness/fast breathing, fever with high heart rate, headache with nausea or vomiting, headache and a fever, headache with a stiff neck or stiff back, confusion, body aches with flu-like symptoms, clammy skin, eyes sensitive to light.

Your healthcare provider will give you a Patient Safety Card about the risk of serious infections. Carry it with you at all times during treatment and for 1 week after your last VOYDEYA dose. Your risk of serious infections may continue for a few days after your last dose of VOYDEYA. It is important to show this card to any healthcare provider who treats you. This will help them diagnose and treat you quickly.

VOYDEYA is only available through a program called the VOYDEYA Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Before you can take VOYDEYA, your healthcare provider must: enroll in the VOYDEYA REMS; counsel you about the risk of serious infections caused by certain bacteria; give you information about the symptoms of serious infections; make sure that you are vaccinated against serious infections caused by encapsulated bacteria and that you receive antibiotics if you need to start VOYDEYA right away and you are not up to date on your vaccinations; give you a Patient Safety Card about your risk of serious infections, as discussed above.

Who should not receive VOYDEYA?

Do not take VOYDEYA if you have a serious infection caused by encapsulated bacteria, including Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Haemophilus influenzae type B infection.

Before taking VOYDEYA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: have an infection or fever, have liver problems, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. It is not known if VOYDEYA will harm your unborn baby or if it passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with VOYDEYA and for 3 days after the last dose.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the vaccines you receive and medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements which could affect your treatment. VOYDEYA may affect the way other medicines work.

If you stop taking VOYDEYA, your healthcare provider will need to monitor you closely for at least 2 weeks after your last dose. Stopping treatment with VOYDEYA may cause a breakdown of red blood cells due to PNH. Symptoms or problems that can happen due to breakdown of red blood cells include: decreased hemoglobin level in your blood and tiredness

What are the possible side effects of VOYDEYA?

VOYDEYA can cause serious side effects, including increased liver enzyme levels and increased cholesterol. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your liver enzyme levels and cholesterol before and during treatment with VOYDEYA. Your healthcare provider may temporarily or permanently stop treatment with VOYDEYA if you develop increased liver enzyme levels.

The most common side effect of VOYDEYA is headache.

Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all of the possible side effects of VOYDEYA. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
