Section 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Amendment of wording regarding Crohn’s Disaese:

Previous warning regarding Crohn’s disease has been updated with a statement that Kyntheum is not recommended in patients with Inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).

New statement added:

Hypersensitivity reactions

Rare cases of anaphylactic reactions have been reported in the post-marketing setting. In the event of an anaphylactic reaction, or any other serious allergic reaction, administration of Kyntheum should be discontinued and appropriate therapy initiated.

Deletion of statement:

Reduced absolute neutrophil count

During the 12-week placebo-controlled clinical trial period in patients with psoriasis, a decrease in absolute neutrophil count (ANC) was observed in 5.6% of patients receiving Kyntheum, which was generally transient and reversible. Grade 3 and 4 has been observed occasionally. None of the Grade 3 or 4 ANC decreases in the psoriasis patients were associated with a serious infection (see also section 4.8).’

 Section 4.8 Undesirable Effects

 Changes have been made based on post-marketing experience.

 Neutropenia has been reclassified from Common to Uncommon

 Anaphylactic reaction has been added with a frequency ‘rare’

Statement added:

‘Inflammatory bowel disease

Cases of new or exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) have been reported with IL‑17 inhibitors (see section 4.4).’
