Hadlima Generic Name & Formulations

General Description

Adalimumab-bwwd 40mg/0.4mL (citrate-free), 40mg/0.8mL; soln for SC inj; preservative-free.

Pharmacological Class

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker.

How Supplied

Single-dose prefilled autoinjector, Single-dose prefilled syringe—2

Manufacturer

Generic Availability

NO

Mechanism of Action

Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. Adalimumab also lyses surface TNF expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement.

Hadlima Indications

Indications

To reduce signs/symptoms, induce major clinical response, inhibit progression of structural damage, and improve physical function in adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA); may be used alone or with methotrexate (MTX) or non-biologic DMARDs. To reduce signs/symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in patients ≥2yrs of age; may be used alone or with MTX. To reduce signs/symptoms, inhibit progression of structural damage, and improve physical function in adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA); may be used alone or with non-biologic DMARDs. To reduce signs/symptoms of active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in adults.

Hadlima Dosage and Administration

Adult

Inject SC into thigh or abdomen; rotate inj sites; supervise 1st dose. ≥18yrs: 40mg every other week. May use with MTX, DMARDs, glucocorticoids, salicylates, NSAIDs, and/or analgesics. RA (without MTX): may increase to 40mg every week or 80mg every other week. 

Children

RA, PsA, AS: <18yrs: not established. JIA: <2yrs (or <10kg): not established. Inject SC into thigh or abdomen; rotate inj sites; supervise 1st dose. 2–17yrs: (10–<15kg): 10mg every other week; (15–<30kg): 20mg every other week; (≥30kg): 40mg every other week. May use with MTX, glucocorticoids, NSAIDs, and/or analgesics.

Hadlima Boxed Warnings

Boxed Warning

Serious infections. Malignancy.

Hadlima Warnings/Precautions

Warnings/Precautions

Increased risk of serious or fatal infections (eg, TB, bacterial sepsis, viral, invasive fungal [treat empirically if develops], or other pathogens). Active infections: do not initiate therapy. Chronic or history of recurring infections. Conditions that predispose to infection. Travel to, or residence in, areas with endemic TB or mycoses. Test/treat latent TB and HBV infection prior to initiating therapy. Monitor closely if new infection, active TB (even if initial latent test is negative), reactivation of HBV, or blood dyscrasias occurs; discontinue if serious or opportunistic infection, sepsis, HBV reactivation, or hematological abnormality develops. Lymphoma and other malignancies. CHF (monitor). Immunosuppression. Discontinue if lupus-like syndrome with antibody formation or serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs. Central or peripheral nervous system demyelinating disorders; consider discontinuing if develops. Pediatric patients: follow up on current immunizations before starting therapy; consider risks/benefits prior to vaccinating exposed infants in utero. Elderly. Pregnancy. Nursing mothers.
