With unpredictable risk and profound fatigue, Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) is a severe disease with high unmet need1-5

For patients with CAD, the effects of chronic hemolysis can cause acute consequences and chronic risks

CAD is a rare type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with acute consequences and chronic risks.1-3 Hemolysis in CAD is driven by C1 activation of the classical complement pathway, when cold agglutinins (IgM autoantibodies) recruit and activate C1, typically at body temperatures under 98.6 °F (37 °C).6,7 Get a deeper look at the mechanism of hemolysis in CAD and how ENJAYMO works.

“CAD is an insidious disease. I looked perfectly normal, but it was silent, sapping my strength…my energy level just dropped.”

—Nancy, living with CAD

Unmet needs remain for patients despite management with cold avoidance and therapies not indicated for CAD

FATIGUE PROFOUNDLY IMPACTS DAILY LIVING5
90% reported fatigue having the greatest impact on quality of life (45/50). Of these patients who devised coping mechanisms for fatigue, only 28% were satisfied (12/44)‡
Data from a prospective, self-reported survey of 50 patients with CAD.
CAD can be a serious hardship for patients, with more than half declaring their disease as severe or moderate (27/50)5‡

Patients with CAD endure an invisible burden of profound fatigue5

In a US patient survey, fatigue is the CAD-related symptom patients self-reported as having the greatest impact on their daily lives (45/50)‡

Impact of fatigue on daily life from a prospective survey of patients with CAD (N=50)

  • *Therapies included corticosteroids, danazol, ibrutinib, immunoglobulin, rituximab, immunosuppressants, antineoplastics, plasma exchange, splenectomy, and other biologics (eg, eculizumab and lymphocyte immune globulin antithymocyte globulin).
  • †Study patients with CAD were initiated on therapies including corticosteroids, IV immunoglobulin, rituximab, immunosuppressants, antineoplastics (eg, bendamustine), or biologics (eg, eculizumab).
  • ‡Data from a self-administered internet-based survey are likely to be biased toward patients with access to the internet and a computer (ie, a bias to younger and socioeconomically advantaged patients). A recall bias and reporting from memory may result in an underestimation of certain clinical information.

FACIT-Fatigue is a patient-reported outcome instrument with scores ranging from 0 to 52,
with higher scores indicating less fatigue.

Chronic complement-mediated hemolysis in CAD drives year-round anemia, regardless of season15

In a retrospective analysis of patients with CAD (n=594)

Mean values of hemoglobin and bilirubin levels by season

Hb levels by season graph
Mean Hb remained
below the lower limit of normal
through all 4 seasons
bilirubin levels by season graph
Mean bilirubin remained
above the upper limit of normal
through all 4 seasons

The estimated median value for LDH was above normal for all 4 seasons

  • §Normal hemoglobin levels for adults vary, but in general are 14 to 17 g/dL for males and 12 to 16 g/dL for females. Normal bilirubin is 0.3 to 1.2 mg/dL.
The resulting anemia and fatigue from C1-activated hemolysis may be impacting your patients with CAD more than you realize

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INDICATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

ENJAYMO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to sutimlimab-jome or any of the inactive ingredients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Serious Infections

  • ENJAYMO may increase susceptibility to serious infections, including infections caused by encapsulated bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis (any serogroup), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae.
  • Serious infections (bacterial and viral) were reported in 15% (10/66) of patients receiving ENJAYMO in the two phase 3 trials. These infections included urinary tract infection with sepsis, respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, otomastoiditis, and skin infections. One patient (1.5%) died due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.
  • Vaccinate patients for encapsulated bacteria according to the most current ACIP recommendations for patients with persistent complement deficiencies. Revaccinate patients in accordance with ACIP recommendations.
  • Immunize patients without a history of vaccination against encapsulated bacteria at least two weeks prior to receiving the first dose of ENJAYMO. If urgent ENJAYMO therapy is indicated in an unvaccinated patient, administer vaccine(s) as soon as possible.
  • If ENJAYMO treatment is administered to patients with active systemic infections, monitor closely for signs and symptoms of worsening infection. Some infections may become rapidly life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated promptly. Inform patients of these signs and symptoms and steps to be taken to seek immediate medical care.
    • Consider interruption of ENJAYMO treatment in patients who are undergoing treatment for serious infection.
    • Consider patients’ immune status when initiating treatment with ENJAYMO.

Infusion-Related Reactions

  • Administration of ENJAYMO may result in infusion-related reactions. In the two phase 3 trials, 29% (19/66) of patients treated with ENJAYMO experienced infusion-related reactions. One patient permanently discontinued ENJAYMO due to an infusion-related reaction.
  • Monitor patients for infusion-related reactions and interrupt if a reaction occurs.
  • Discontinue ENJAYMO infusion and institute appropriate supportive measures if signs of hypersensitivity reactions, such as cardiovascular instability or respiratory compromise, occur.

Risk of Autoimmune Disease

  • Based on its mechanism of action, ENJAYMO may potentially increase the risk for developing autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Development of SLE has been associated with inherited classical complement deficiency.
  • In clinical trials, 4.5% (3/66) of patients developed a relapse or worsening of previously diagnosed autoimmune disease.
  • Monitor patients being treated with ENJAYMO for signs and symptoms and manage medically.

Recurrent Hemolysis After ENJAYMO Discontinuation

  • If treatment with ENJAYMO is interrupted, closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of recurrent hemolysis, eg, elevated levels of total bilirubin or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) accompanied by a decrease in hemoglobin, or reappearance of symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, palpitations, or hemoglobinuria. Consider restarting ENJAYMO if signs and symptoms of hemolysis occur after discontinuation.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

  • The most common adverse reactions in the CADENZA trial (Part A) (incidence ≥18%) are rhinitis, headache, hypertension, acrocyanosis, and Raynaud’s phenomenon. The most common adverse reactions in the CARDINAL trial (incidence ≥25%) are urinary tract infection, respiratory tract infection, bacterial infection, dizziness, fatigue, peripheral edema, arthralgia, cough, hypertension, and nausea.

INDICATION

ENJAYMO® (sutimlimab-jome) is indicated for the treatment of hemolysis in adults with cold agglutinin disease (CAD).
