1. What is Yorvipath and what is it used for

Yorvipath contains the active substance palopegteriparatide. Palopegteriparatide becomes teriparatide, also known as parathyroid hormone (PTH), in the body. PTH is normally produced in the body and is necessary to keep the amount of calcium and phosphate in your body within normal limits.

Yorvipath is used to treat chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults. In people with hypoparathyroidism, the body produces very little or no PTH. Because of this, they cannot keep calcium and phosphate levels within normal limits, and this leads to symptoms of the condition, such as muscle spasms, twitching, and tingling sensation in the fingertips, toes, and lips. Yorvipath replaces the missing PTH to control calcium and phosphate levels.

2. What you need to know before you use Yorvipath

Do not use Yorvipath

  • if you are allergic to palopegteriparatide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
  • if you have pseudo-hypoparathyroidism, a condition where the body does not respond properly to the parathyroid hormone it produces

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment with Yorvipath.

If you are being treated with Yorvipath, you may experience side effects related to low and high blood calcium levels (see section 4 for more information). These side effects are more likely to occur when starting treatment or changing your dose of Yorvipath. Your doctor will monitor your calcium levels (see "Tests and checks" in section 3). You may be given medicines to treat or help prevent these side effects, or your doctor may adjust the dose of Yorvipath.

High blood calcium levels can cause problems if you are taking medicines that contain cardiac glycosides (such as digoxin or digitoxin) (see "Other medicines and Yorvipath"). Your doctor will monitor your calcium levels (see "Tests and checks" in section 3) and cardiac glycosides and will monitor you for signs and symptoms.

If you are taking Yorvipath and have severe liver or kidney disease, your doctor will monitor your calcium levels more frequently (see "Tests and checks" in section 3).

Tell your doctor if you have a higher risk of a type of bone cancer called osteosarcoma. This is especially important:

  • if you have received radiation therapy to the bones
  • if you have bone cancer or another type of cancer that has spread to the bones
  • if you have a bone disease that increases the risk of developing osteosarcoma (e.g., if you have Paget's disease)
  • if a blood test shows that you have unexplained increases in bone alkaline phosphatase

If you are at risk of bone fractures, your doctor will check you for osteoporosis.

Children and adolescents

Yorvipath should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, as it has not been studied in this age group.

Other medicines and Yorvipath

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines. In particular, tell your doctor if you are using or have recently used any of the following medicines:

  • Heart medicines that contain cardiac glycosides (such as digoxin or digitoxin)
  • Medicines for the treatment of osteoporosis, such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, or romosozumab
  • Medicines that can affect blood calcium levels, such as diuretics ("water pills", such as hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide), systemic corticosteroids (medicines used to treat inflammation), and lithium (a medicine used to treat mood disorders)

Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of these medicines or the dose of Yorvipath.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, talk to your doctor. If you become pregnant during treatment, tell your doctor right away.

Information on the safety of Yorvipath in pregnant women is limited. Your doctor will decide whether you should be treated with Yorvipath during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, your doctor will monitor your calcium levels.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed, talk to your doctor before taking Yorvipath. Your doctor will decide whether you should be treated with Yorvipath during breastfeeding. If you are breastfeeding, your doctor will monitor your calcium levels.

Fertility

It is not known if Yorvipath has effects on fertility.

Driving and using machines

Yorvipath has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines. However, if you experience dizziness or fainting when standing up, do not drive or use machines until you feel better.

Yorvipath contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per dose, which is essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to use Yorvipath

Follow the instructions for administration of this medicine exactly as told by your doctor or nurse. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor again.

Yorvipath is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). This means it is injected with a short needle into the fatty tissue under the skin. The medicine should be injected into the abdomen (belly) or the front of the thigh, and it is important to inject it every day in a different area to avoid damaging the skin. You can alternate between the right and left side of the abdomen and the front of the right and left thigh.

Before using the pen for the first time, your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse will show you how to inject Yorvipath. You will find additional help on using Yorvipath in the instructions for useat the end of this leaflet.

Always use the pen as described in the instructions for use.

Starting, changing, and maintaining Yorvipath

Your doctor will do a blood test to check your calcium and vitamin D levels before starting treatment with Yorvipath.

The recommended starting dose of Yorvipath is 18 micrograms once a day. Your doctor will tell you to gradually change the dose based on your response to the medicine, until you are using a dose that keeps the amount of calcium in your body within normal limits without needing active vitamin D or therapeutic doses of calcium. You may need to continue taking daily calcium supplements to meet your dietary needs. Your dose may be increased if at least 7 days have passed since the last dose change. Your dose may be decreased no more often than every 3 days when the calcium level in your body is too high.

Tests and checks

Your doctor will monitor your response to treatment:

  • 7 days after starting treatment and
  • 7 to 14 days after changing the dose

This will be done through tests to measure the level of calcium in your blood or urine. Your doctor will tell you to change the amount of calcium or vitamin D you take (in any form, including calcium-rich foods).

Instructions for use

If your dose is more than 30 micrograms per day:

  • Give two injections, one after the other, in different injection areas.
  • It is recommended to use a different Yorvipath pen for the second daily injection, even if the two pens have the same color dial (same concentration).
  • The table below explains how to administer the dose. If you are unsure, talk to your doctor again.

Table with dosing schedule for Yorvipath more than 30 micrograms indicating daily doses and injection volumes

Yorvipath 294 micrograms/0.98 ml pen delivers doses of 15, 18, or 21 micrograms (with orange dial)

Yorvipath 420 micrograms/1.4 ml pen delivers doses of 24, 27, or 30 micrograms (with burgundy dial)

If you use more Yorvipath than you should

Contact your doctor or nurse immediately and tell them the symptoms you have.

An overdose can lead to high blood calcium levels. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to, feeling sick (vomiting), dizziness, feeling thirsty, confusion, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat. For more information, see section 4.

If you forget to use Yorvipath

If you forget to inject a dose of Yorvipath, you can use the medicine as soon as you remember if it is less than 12 hours since the missed dose. For example, if you normally inject the medicine at 08:00, you can inject the missed dose before 20:00.

If you only remember to use the dose within 12 hours of your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue injecting the next dose as usual. For example, if you remember at 22:00 that you missed Yorvipath and your next dose is scheduled for 08:00, you should not inject the missed dose.

Never take a second dose to make up for a missed dose.

If you stop treatment with Yorvipath

Do not stop using Yorvipath without talking to your doctor. If you stop treatment with Yorvipath, your blood calcium levels may decrease, and you may develop the symptoms described below (see section 4).

If you have any other questions about using Yorvipath, ask your doctor or nurse.

Additional Information

If you do not understand or are unable to complete any of the steps described in the instructions for use, consult your doctor or nurse.

Important Information You Should Know Before Starting to Use Your Yorvipath Pen

Read and follow the leaflet and these instructions for use carefully to be able to inject Yorvipath correctly.

Make sure you have received training from your doctor or nurse before applying the injection. This is important to ensure you receive the correct treatment.

For Correct Use

  • If you do not follow these instructions, you may not receive the correct dose and, therefore, may not get the full effect of your medicine.
  • If you are blind or have visual impairment, or lack concentration do notuse your pen without help. Instead, ask for help from someone who has been trained in the use of the Yorvipath pen.
  • Keep out of sight and reach of children.
  • The pen and needles are for single-patient use.
  • Do notshare your pen or needles with other people. It could cause infection (cross-contamination).
  • Always discard your pen after 14 days, even if there is still medication left. This is important to ensure you receive the correct effect of the medicine.
  • Always use the needles that come with the Yorvipath pen for your injections.
  • Remove the needle after each use. Do notstore the pen with the needle attached.
  • Avoid bending or breaking the needle of the pen.
  • Do notchange the angle of injection after inserting the needle into the skin. Changing the angle may cause the needle to bend or break. A bent or broken needle can become stuck in the body or remain completely under the skin. If a broken needle becomes stuck in the body or under the skin, seek medical attention immediately.
  • Do notuse needles if the needle protector or needle shield is damaged.

Pen Care

  • Handle the pen with care.
  • Keep the pen dry.
  • Use a damp cloth to clean the pen.
  • Do notdrop your pen or hit it against hard surfaces. If this happens, test the pen flow again (section 2, steps A-C) before the next use.
  • Do not apply more force to your pen. It may be empty, damaged, or not functioning correctly.
  • Do notattempt to repair a damaged pen yourself.
  • Never use a damaged pen.

Troubleshooting

  1. How often should I test the pen flow?

You should only test the pen flow (section 2) the first time you use a new pen (or if you think it may be damaged) to avoid wasting medication. The test checks to ensure the medicine flows through the pen, so you can receive the correct doses of the medicine.

  1. I don't see drops after testing the pen flow 5 times. What should I do?

If you don't see drops on the tip of the needle after 5 attempts, it may be because there is no flow in the pen and needle.

Change the needle (see section 5, step 13) and test the pen flow again (see section 2, steps A-C). You can ensure the flow is working correctly if you see the medicine drop. If it still doesn't work, discard the pen and consult your healthcare professional.

  1. How do I know I've finished administering the injection?

The injection is only complete when you press the button all the way down and the

dose selector has returned to the "?" and you have left the needle in the skin for 5 seconds.

  1. Why do I need to keep pressing the pen against the skin for 5 seconds?

Some of the medicine may flow back into the pen or retreat from the injection site and remain in the skin. Pressing the pen against the skin for 5 secondshelps ensure that all the medicine is injected.

  1. I am unable to set the dose selector to the required dose. What should I do?

The pen does not allow setting a dose greater than the amount left.

If your dose is greater than the amount of medicine left in the pen, you will not be able to set a complete dose. You must discard your pen and take the complete dose of the medicine with a new one.

  1. The red cap covers the needle before starting the injection. What should I do?

Unscrew and discard the needle in use (see section 5, step 13). Take a new needle from the box and start again from step 1. All boxes contain an additional needle.

If you do not understand or are unable to complete any of the steps described in the instructions for use, consult your doctor or nurse.

Important information you should know before starting to use your Yorvipath pen

Read and follow the package insert and these instructions for use carefully to be able to inject Yorvipath correctly.

Make sure you have received training from your doctor or nurse before applying the injection. This is important to ensure you receive the correct treatment.

For correct use

  • If you do not follow these instructions, you may not receive the correct dose and therefore may not obtain the full effect of your medication.
  • If you are blind or have visual impairment, or lack concentration do notuse your pen without help. Instead, ask for help from someone who has been trained in the use of the Yorvipath pen.
  • Keep out of sight and reach of children.
  • The pen and needles are for single-patient use.
  • Do notshare your pen or needles with others. This could cause infection (cross-contamination).
  • Always dispose of your pen after 14 days, even if there is still medication left. This is important to ensure you receive the correct effect of the medication.
  • Always use the needles that come with the Yorvipath pen for your injections.
  • Remove the needle after each use. Do notstore the pen with the needle attached.
  • Avoid bending or breaking the pen needle.
  • Do notchange the angle of injection after inserting the needle into the skin. Changing the angle can cause the needle to bend or break. A bent or broken needle can become stuck in the body or remain completely under the skin. If a broken needle becomes stuck in the body or under the skin, seek medical attention immediately.
  • Do notuse needles if the needle protector or needle shield is damaged.

Special instructions for doses greater than 30 micrograms/

If your dose is greater than 30 micrograms/day:

  • Administer two injections, one after the other, in different injection areas (see the recommended schedule table in Section 3 of the Package Insert)
  • It is recommended to use a different Yorvipath pen for the second daily injection, even if the two pens have the same color button (same concentration).
  • Follow the steps in the instructions for use for each injection.

Pen care

  • Handle the pen with care.
  • Keep the pen dry.
  • Use a damp cloth to clean the pen.
  • Do notdrop your pen or hit it against hard surfaces. If this happens, test the pen flow again (Section 2, Steps A-C) before the next use.
  • Do notapply more force to your pen. It may be empty, damaged, or not functioning correctly.
  • Do notattempt to repair a damaged pen yourself.
  • Never use a damaged pen.

Troubleshooting

  1. How often should I test the pen flow?

You should only test the pen flow (Section 2) the first time you use a new pen (or if you think it may be damaged) to avoid wasting medication. The test checks to ensure the medication flows through the pen, so you can receive the correct doses of the medication.

  1. I don't see drops after testing the pen flow 5 times. What should I do?

If you don't see drops at the tip of the needle after 5 attempts, it may be because there is no flow in the pen and needle.

Change the needle (see Section 5, Step 13) and test the pen flow again (see Section 2, Steps A-C). You can ensure the flow is working correctly if you see the medication drop.

If it still doesn't work, dispose of the pen and consult your healthcare professional.

  1. How do I know I've finished administering the injection?

The injection is only complete when you press the button all the way down and the dose selector has turned back to the "?" symbol and you have left the needle in the skin for 5 seconds.

  1. Why do I need to keep pressing the pen against the skin for 5 seconds?

Some of the medication may flow back into the pen or retreat from the injection area and remain in the skin. Pressing the pen against the skin for 5 secondshelps ensure that all the medication has been injected.

  1. I'm unable to set the dose selector to the required dose. What should I do?

The pen does not allow setting a dose greater than the amount of medication left in the pen.

If your dose is greater than the amount of medication left in the pen, you will not be able to set a complete dose. You must dispose of your pen and take the complete dose of the medication with a new one.

  1. The red lock covers the needle before starting the injection. What should I do?

Unscrew and dispose of the needle in use (see Section 5, Step 13). Take a new needle from the box and start again from Step 1. All boxes contain an additional needle.

Additional information

If you do not understand or are unable to complete any of the steps described in the instructions for use, consult your doctor or nurse.

Important information you should know before starting to use your Yorvipath pen

Read and follow the package insert and these instructions for use carefully to be able to inject Yorvipath correctly.

Make sure you have received training from your doctor or nurse before applying the injection. This is important to ensure that you receive the correct treatment.

For correct use

  • If you do not follow these instructions, you may not receive the correct dose and, therefore, may not obtain the full effect of your medication.
  • If you are blind or have visual impairment, or lack concentration do notuse your pen without help. Instead, ask someone who has been trained in the use of the Yorvipath pen for assistance.
  • Keep out of sight and reach of children.
  • The pen and needles are for use in a single patient.
  • Do notshare your pen or needles with others. It could cause infection (cross-contamination).
  • Always discard your pen after 14 days, even if there is still medication. This is important to ensure that you receive the correct effect of the medication.
  • Always use the needles that come with the Yorvipath pen for your injectables.
  • Remove the needle after each use. Do notstore the pen with the needle attached.
  • Avoid bending or breaking the pen needle.
  • Do notchange the injection angle after inserting the needle into the skin. Changing the angle can cause the needle to bend or break. A bent or broken needle can become stuck in the body or remain completely under the skin. If a broken needle becomes stuck in the body or under the skin, seek medical attention immediately.
  • Do notuse needles if the needle shield or needle clip is damaged.

Special instructions for doses greater than 30 micrograms/day

If your dose is greater than 30 micrograms/day:

  • Administer two injectables, one after the other, in different injection sites (see the recommended schedule table in Section 3 of the Package Insert).
  • It is recommended to use a different Yorvipath pen for the second daily injectable, even if the two pens have the same color plunger (same concentration).
  • Follow the steps in the instructions for use for each injection

Care of the pen

  • Handle the pen with care.
  • Keep the pen dry.
  • Use a damp cloth to clean the pen.
  • Do notdrop your pen or hit it against hard surfaces. If this happens, retest the pen flow (Section 2, Steps A-C) before the next use.
  • Do not apply more force to your pen. It may be empty, damaged, or not functioning correctly.
  • Do notattempt to repair a damaged pen on your own.
  • Never use a damaged pen.

Troubleshooting

  1. How often should I test the pen flow?

You should only test the pen flow (Section 2) the first time you use a new pen (or if you think it may be damaged) to avoid wasting medication. The test checks to ensure that the medication flows through the pen, so you can receive the correct doses of the medication.

  1. I don't see drops after testing the pen flow 5 times. What should I do?

If you don't see drops on the tip of the needle after 5 attempts,it may be because there is no flow in the pen and needle.

Change the needle (see Section 5, Step 12) and retest the pen flow (see Section 2, Steps A-C). You can ensure that the flow is working correctly if you see the medication drop. If it still doesn't work, discard the pen and consult your healthcare professional.

  1. How do I know I've finished administering the injection?

The injection is only complete when you press the plunger all the way down and the dose selector has returned to the "?" and you have left the needle in the skin for 5 seconds.

  1. Why do I need to keep pressing the pen against the skin for 5 seconds?

Some of the medication may flow back into the pen or retreat from the injection site and remain in the skin. Pressing the pen against the skin for 5 seconds helps ensure that all of the medication has been injected.

  1. I cannot mark the dose selector to the required dose. What should I do?

The pen does not allow setting a dose greater than what remains.

If your dose is greater than the amount of medication left in the pen, you will not be able to mark a complete dose. You must discard your pen and take the complete dose of the medication with a new one.
