2.5 Preparation and

Administration Instructions for Subcutaneous Injection TREMFYA is available for subcutaneous use in the following presentations: prefilled pen (TREMFYA PEN), One-Press injector, and prefilled syringes. Each prefilled pen, One-Press injector, or prefilled syringe is for one time use in one patient only. Instruct patients to inject the full amount: 100 mg or 200 mg of TREMFYA (1 mL or 2 mL, respectively). TREMFYA is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional. After proper training in subcutaneous injection technique: Adults Adults may self-inject with the TREMFYA prefilled syringe, One-Press injector, and prefilled pen. Inject into the front of the thighs, the lower abdomen except for the 2 inches around the navel, or the back of the upper arms (healthcare professional or caregiver only). Pediatric Patients 6 Years of Age and Older Who Also Weigh at Least 40 kg Pediatric self-administration is not recommended. Administration of TREMFYA to pediatric patients with the prefilled syringe, One-Press injector and prefilled pen should be performed by a healthcare provider or by a caregiver who has received training and demonstrated proper subcutaneous injection technique. Inject into the front of the thighs or the lower abdomen except for the 2 inches around the navel. For the prefilled syringe only, injection can also be given in the back of the upper arms. Before injection, remove TREMFYA from the refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature up to 25 °C (77 °F) (30 minutes) without removing the needle cap. Do not inject TREMFYA into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, hard, thick, scaly, or affected by psoriasis. The TREMFYA Instructions for Use contains more detailed patient instructions on the preparation and administration of TREMFYA. If a dose is missed, administer the dose as soon as possible. Thereafter, resume dosing at the regular scheduled time. Inspect TREMFYA visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. TREMFYA is a clear and colorless to light yellow solution that may contain small translucent particles. Do not use if the liquid contains large particles, is discolored or cloudy. TREMFYA does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard any unused product remaining in the prefilled pen, One-Press injector, or prefilled syringe.

2.6 Preparation and

Administration Instructions for Intravenous Infusion (Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease) Preparation Instructions: Withdraw and then discard 20 mL of the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection from the 250 mL infusion bag which is equal to the volume of TREMFYA to be added. Withdraw 20 mL of TREMFYA from the vial and add it to the 250 mL intravenous infusion bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection for a final concentration of 0.8 mg/mL. Gently mix the diluted solution. Discard the vial with any remaining solution. Visually inspect the diluted solution for particulate matter and discoloration before infusion. Infuse the diluted solution over a period of at least one hour. Use only an infusion set with an in-line, sterile, non-pyrogenic, low protein binding filter (pore size 0.2 micrometer). Do not infuse TREMFYA concomitantly in the same intravenous line with other medicinal products. Dispose any unused medicinal product in accordance with local requirements.

Administration Instructions: TREMFYA solution for intravenous infusion must be diluted, prepared, and infused by a healthcare professional using aseptic technique. TREMFYA does not contain preservatives. Each vial is for one time use in one patient only. Inspect TREMFYA visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.

Storage of Diluted Solution: The diluted infusion solution may be kept at room temperature up to 25 °C (77 °F) for up to 10 hours. Storage time at room temperature begins once the diluted solution has been prepared. The infusion should be completed within 10 hours after the dilution in the infusion bag. Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion of the infusion solution.
