The clinical data described for PERIKABIVEN reflects exposure in 93 patients exposed for 5 to 7 days in 4 active-controlled trials. The pooled population exposed to PERIKABIVEN was 18 to 87 years old, 48% female, 73% Caucasian. The enrolled patients had varied underlying conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders (55%), vascular disorders (30%), metabolism and nutrition disorders (28%), respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders (22%), and psychiatric disorders (20%). Most patients received peripheral intravenous infusion doses of ≥80% of their target mean daily exposure. Adverse reactions occurring in at least 2% of patients who received PERIKABIVEN are shown in Table 3 .

In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Intralipid is the lipid emulsion component of PERIKABIVEN. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2mg/dl with a second confirmed elevation >2mg/dl at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) of Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days. The estimated cumulative incidence of PNAC is shown in the Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve in Figure 1 . Figure 1: Cumulative Incidence Curve of Time to Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis (PNAC) with Standard Error Bars Monitor liver tests in patients treated with PERIKABIVEN and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Figure 1 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following additional adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of PERIKABIVEN in countries where it is registered. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily post-approval from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to product exposure. Gastrointestinal disorders: abdominal distension, abdominal pain General disorders and administration site conditions: chest tightness Hepatobiliary disorders: cholestasis Immune system disorders: allergic reaction, anaphylaxis Infections and infestations: infection Vascular disorders: flushed face

Dosage And Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein. ( 2.1 , 5.11 ) See full prescribing information regarding preparation, administration, instructions for use, the recommended dosage in adults, and dosage modifications for patients with renal impairment. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Administration PERIKABIVEN is for intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )]. Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter. Use of a vented intravenous administration set with the vent in the open position could result in air embolism. Use a dedicated line without any connections. Multiple connections could result in air embolism due to residual air being drawn from the primary container before administration of the fluid from the secondary container is completed. Do not exceed the recommended maximum infusion rate of 3.7 mL/kg/hour [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Ceftriaxone must not be administered simultaneously with calcium-containing intravenous solutions such as PERIKABIVEN via a Y-site due to precipitation. However, in patients other than neonates, ceftriaxone and PERIKABIVEN may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . Do not use administration sets and lines that contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). Administration sets that contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components have DEHP as a plasticizer. 2.2 Important Preparation Instructions Inspect the bag prior to activation. Discard the bag in the following situations: Evidence of damage to the bag More than one chamber is white Solution is yellow Any seal is already broken Activate the bag [ s ee Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . Once the bag is activated, ensure the vertical seals between chambers are broken at least from the bend in the seals and down to the ports. The upper sections of the vertical seals above the bend and the horizontal seal may remain closed. It is recommended to mix the contents thoroughly by inverting the bag upside down to ensure a homogenous admixture. Ensure the vertical seals between chambers are broken and the contents of all three chambers are mixed together prior to infusion [ s ee Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. Use PERIKABIVEN immediately after mixing and the introduction of additives. If not used immediately, the storage time and conditions prior to use should not be longer than 24 hours at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). After removal from storage at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F), the admixture should be infused within 24 hours. Any mixture remaining must be discarded. For total parenteral nutrition add multivitamins and trace elements via the additive port. Any other additions to the bag should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC. When introducing additives, it is recommended to use 18 to 23 gauge needles with a maximum length of 1.5 inches (40 mm) and to mix thoroughly after each addition, use aseptic technique and add after the vertical seals have been broken (i.e., bag has been activated) and the three components are mixed [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Inspect PERIKABIVEN to ensure: Precipitates have not formed during the mixing or addition of additives. The emulsion has not separated. Separation of the emulsion can be visibly identified by a yellowish streaking or the accumulation of yellowish droplets in the mixed emulsion. Discard the admixture if any of the above are observed. 2.3 Instructions for Use Overpouch Notch Handle Hole (For hanging the bag) Vertical Seals (Must break to activate) Bends in Vertical Seals Horizontal Seal (May remain unopened) Blind Port (NEVER use this port) WHITE Additive Port BLUE Infusion Port Oxygen Absorber (Present between bag and inside overpouch-position may vary) An instructional video is available at www.freseniuskabinutrition.com/products/kabiv en-perikabiven/. 1.

FOR SINGLE USE ONLY. - Discard unused portion. Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure 2.4 Dosing Considerations The dosage of PERIKABIVEN should be individualized based on the patient's clinical condition (ability to adequately metabolize amino acids, dextrose and lipids), body weight and nutritional/fluid requirements, as well as additional energy given orally/enterally to the patient. PERIKABIVEN is a combination of amino acids, electrolytes, dextrose, and lipids in a fixed volume and concentration. The dosage selection is based upon fluid requirements which can be used in conjunction with the nutritional requirements to determine final dosage [see Table 1 ]. PERIKABIVEN meets the total nutritional requirements for protein, dextrose and lipids in stable patients, and can be individualized to meet specific needs with the addition of nutrients. The maximum infusion rate is based upon the dextrose component. Prior to administration of PERIKABIVEN, correct severe fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders. Before starting the infusion, obtain serum triglyceride levels to establish the baseline value. Recommended Adult Dosage The recommended dosage of PERIKABIVEN in adults is 27 to 40 mL/kg/day. The amount of macronutrients provided by PERIKABIVEN are shown in Table 1 . The maximum daily dosage of PERIKABIVEN in adults should not exceed 40 mL/kg/day. In patients with serum triglyceride concentrations above 400 mg/dL, stop the PERIKABIVEN infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels. Once the triglycerides are <400 mg/dL, restart PERIKABIVEN at a lower infusion rate and advance rate in smaller increments towards target dosage, checking the triglyceride levels prior to each adjustment [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] . Table 1: Macronutrient Content of PERIKABIVEN Based on Recommended Dosage * Protein is provided as amino acids. When infused intravenously amino acids are metabolized and utilized as the building blocks of protein. ** As Dextrose monohydrate Nutrition Provided by PERIKABIVEN recommended dosage Fluid mL/kg/day 27 to 40 Protein* g/kg/day Nitrogen g/kg/day 0.64 to 0.94 0.1 to 0.15 Dextrose ** g/kg/day 2.03 to 3 Lipids g/kg/day 0.95 to 1.4 Total Energy Requirement kcal/kg/day 18 to 27 Treatment with PERIKABIVEN may be continued for as long as is required by the patient's condition. Dosing in Renal Impairment In patients with renal impairment, the dosage of PERIKABIVEN should be the recommended adult dosage (see above). Prior to administration, correct severe fluid or electrolyte imbalances. Closely monitor serum electrolyte levels and adjust the volume of PERIKABIVEN administered as required [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )] . Renal patients not needing dialysis require 0.6 to 0.8 g of protein/kg/day. Patients on dialysis or continuous renal replacement therapy should receive 1.2 to 1.8 g of protein/kg/day up to a maximum of 2.5 g of protein/kg/day based on nutritional status and estimated protein losses. The PERIKABIVEN dosage can be adjusted based on the treatment for the renal impairment, supplementing protein as indicated. Additional protein may be added to PERIKABIVEN bag or infused separately. If required, additional amino acids may be added to the PERIKABIVEN bag or infused separately. Infusion Duration and Rate The recommended duration of infusion for PERIKABIVEN is between 12 and 24 hours, depending on the clinical situation. The maximum infusion rate of PERIKABIVEN is 3.7 mL/kg/hour. This corresponds to 0.09 g/kg/hour of amino acids, 0.28 g/kg/hour of dextrose (the rate limiting factor) and 0.13 g/kg/hour of lipids. Dosing Instructions Determine the fluid requirements (27 to 40 mL/kg/day) and the patient's nutritional requirements to be delivered, then select the corresponding PERIKABIVEN bag. Determine the preferred duration of infusion (12 to 24 hours). Ensure that the rate of infusion (PERIKABIVEN dosage in mL/kg/day divided by the preferred duration of infusion (hours)) does not exceed the maximum infusion rate for the patient (i.e., 3.7 mL/kg/hour). The infusion rate may need to be reduced and duration of infusion increased in order not to exceed the maximum infusion rate. Once the infusion rate in mL/kg/hour has been selected, calculate the infusion rate (mL/hour) using the patient's weight. Compare the patient's nutrient requirements with the amount supplied by PERIKABIVEN. Discuss with a pharmacist any additions that may be required.

Indications And Usage

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE PERIKABIVEN is indicated as a source of calories, protein, electrolytes and essential fatty acids for adult patients requiring parenteral nutrition when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated. PERIKABIVEN may be used to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency or treat negative nitrogen balance in adult patients. PERIKABIVEN is indicated as a source of calories, protein, electrolytes and essential fatty acids for adult patients requiring parenteral nutrition when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated. PERIKABIVEN may be used to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency or treat negative nitrogen balance in adult patients. ( 1 ) Limitations of Use: Not recommended for use in pediatric patients <2 years including preterm infants because the fixed content of the formulation does not meet nutritional requirements in this age group. ( 1 , 5.1 , 8.4 ) Limitations of Use: PERIKABIVEN is not recommended for use in pediatric patients under the age of 2 years, including preterm infants because the fixed content of the formulation does not meet the nutritional requirements of this age group [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] .

Overdosage

10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of overdose, serious adverse reactions may result [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.7 )] . Stop the infusion of PERIKABIVEN to allow lipids to clear from serum. The effects are usually reversible after the lipid infusion is stopped. If medically appropriate, further intervention may be indicated. The lipid administered and fatty acids produced are not dialyzable.

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Coumarin and coumarin derivatives, including warfarin: Anticoagulant activity may be counteracted; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Ceftriaxone Precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium can occur when ceftriaxone is mixed with calcium-containing parenteral nutrition solutions, such as PERIKABIVEN, in the same intravenous administration line. Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with PERIKABIVEN, via a Y-site. However, ceftriaxone and PERIKABIVEN, may be administered sequentially if the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )]. Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )]. 7.2 Coumarin and Coumarin Derivatives The soybean oil present in PERIKABIVEN has vitamin K 1 . Vitamin K 1 can reverse the anticoagulant activity of coumarin or coumarin derivatives, which work by blocking recycling of vitamin K 1 . Monitoring for anticoagulant activity is recommended in patients who are on both PERIKABIVEN and coumarin or coumarin derivatives.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action PERIKABIVEN is used as a supplement or as the sole source of nutrition in patients, providing macronutrients (amino acids, dextrose and lipids) and micronutrients (electrolytes) parenterally. The amino acids provide the structural units that make up proteins and are used to synthesize proteins and other biomolecules or are oxidized to urea and carbon dioxide as a source of energy. The administered dextrose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, yielding energy. Intravenously administered lipids provide a biologically utilizable source of calories and essential fatty acids. Fatty acids serve as an important substrate for energy production. The most common mechanism of action for energy derived from fatty acid metabolism is beta- oxidation. Fatty acids are important for membrane structure and function, precursors for bioactive molecules (such as prostaglandins), and as regulators of gene expression. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The infused lipid particles provided by PERIKABIVEN are expected to be cleared from the blood stream in a manner thought to be comparable to the clearing of chylomicrons. In healthy volunteers, the maximum clearance rate of the triglycerides after fasting overnight has been found to be 3.8 ± 1.5g/kg per 24 hours. Both elimination and oxidation rates are dependent on the patient's clinical condition; elimination is faster and utilization is increased in postoperative patients, in sepsis, burns and trauma, while patients with renal impairment and hypertriglyceridemia may show lower utilization of exogenous lipid emulsions. Due to differences in elimination, patients with these conditions should be closely monitored during PERIKABIVEN administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 , 5.12 )] . The disposition of infused amino acids, dextrose and electrolytes are essentially the same as those supplied by ordinary food. A clinical study in healthy volunteers employing high intravenous doses (80 mmol) of either sodium glycerophosphate used in PERIKABIVEN or reference, inorganic sodium phosphate demonstrated that both compounds resulted in comparable serum inorganic phosphate concentrations after a single intravenous dose. Changes from baseline in the serum levels of sodium, potassium and total calcium were comparable across the two phosphate sources in this study.

    Laboratory Tests

    5.14 Monitoring/Laboratory Tests Monitor fluid status closely in patients with pulmonary edema or heart failure. Throughout treatment, monitor serum triglycerides [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] , fluid and electrolyte status, serum osmolarity, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, blood count (including platelets), and coagulation parameters. PERIKABIVEN contains Vitamin K that may counteract anticoagulant activity [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )]. The lipids contained in PERIKABIVEN may interfere with some laboratory tests (e.g., hemoglobin, triglycerides, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin, and oxygen saturation) if blood is sampled before the lipids in PERIKABIVEN have cleared from the bloodstream. Conduct these tests at least 6 hours after stopping the infusion.

    Information For Patients

    17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION When initiating PERIKABIVEN administration, discuss the following information with the patient or caregiver: Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Inform patients and caregivers that use of parenteral nutrition may result in parenteral nutrition- associated liver disease and/or other hepatobiliary disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Distress due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates Inform patients and caregivers that pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary emboli (including some fatalities) and presenting as respiratory distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. If PERIKABIVEN is infused at home, instruct patients or caregivers to visually inspect the prepared solution, the infusion set, and catheter for precipitates, prior to administration as well as periodically during the administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Hypersensitivity Reactions Inform patients and caregivers that PERIKABIVEN may cause hypersensitivity reactions. If PERIKABIVEN is infused at home, instruct patients or caregivers to stop the infusion of PERIKABIVEN immediately and seek medical attention if a hypersensitivity reaction occurs [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. Infections Inform patients and caregivers that patients who receive PERIKABIVEN are at risk of infection. If PERIKABIVEN is infused at home, instruct patients or caregivers to ensure aseptic techniques are used for the preparation and administration of PERIKABIVEN and to monitor for signs and symptoms of infection [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )]. Fat Overload Syndrome Inform patients and caregivers that fat overload syndrome has been reported with the use of intravenous lipid emulsions. If PERIKABIVEN is infused at home, instruct patients or caregivers to stop PERIKABIVEN if signs or symptoms of fat overload syndrome occur [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )]. Refeeding Syndrome If the patient is severely malnourished, inform patients and caregivers that administering parenteral nutrition including PERIKABIVEN may result in refeeding syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )]. Diabetes and Hyperglycemia Inform patients and their caregivers that administration of dextrose at a rate exceeding the patient's utilization rate may lead to hyperglycemia, hyperosmolar coma, and death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )]. Hypertriglyceridemia Inform patients and their caregivers about the risks of hypertriglyceridemia with PERIKABIVEN use [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] . Vein Damage and Thrombosis Inform patients and caregivers that the infusion of hypertonic nutrient injections into a peripheral vein may result in vein irritation, vein damage, and/or thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )] . Electrolyte Imbalance and Fluid Overload in Patients with Decreased Renal Function For patients with decreased renal function, inform them or their caregivers that the patient may be at increased risk of electrolyte and fluid volume imbalance when PERIKABIVEN is being administered [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 )] . Aluminum Toxicity Inform patients and their caregivers that prolonged PN administration in patients with renal impairment, including preterm neonates, may result in aluminum reaching toxic levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )]. Preparation and Administration Instructions If it is acceptable for a patient or caregiver to administer PERIKABIVEN at home, then the patient or caregiver must be trained on the following: how to inspect and prepare, add compatible additives (when appropriate), administer, and store PERIKABIVEN [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 , 2.2 )]. Inform patients or caregivers not to deviate from the administration instructions given by the healthcare provider.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of PERIKABIVEN did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from other younger patients. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or drug therapy.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of PERIKABIVEN has not been established in pediatric patients of any age. In the postmarketing setting, clinical decompensation with rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsion in neonates and infants, sometimes fatal has been reported [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Patients, particularly preterm infants, are at risk for aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] . Deaths have occurred in neonates (28 days of age or younger) who received concomitant intravenous calcium-containing solutions with ceftriaxone resulting from calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in the lungs and kidneys, even when separate infusion lines were used. [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . PERIKABIVEN is not recommended for use in pediatric patients under the age of two years, including preterm infants, as the fixed content of the formulation does not meet the nutritional requirements of this age group due to the following reasons: Calcium and dextrose needs are not met and lipids, protein and magnesium exceed requirements. The product does not contain the amino acids cysteine and taurine, considered conditionally essential for neonates and infants. Patients, including pediatric patients, may be at risk for PNALD [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Newborns – especially those born premature and with low birth weight – are at increased risk of developing hypo – or hyperglycemia and therefore need close monitoring during treatment with intravenous dextrose solutions to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long term adverse effects. Hypoglycemia in the newborn can cause prolonged seizures, coma and brain damage. Hyperglycemia has been associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, late onset bacterial and fungal infection, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, prolonged length of hospital stay, and death.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The limited available data on the use of PERIKABIVEN in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk. However, there are clinical considerations if PERIKABIVEN is used in pregnant women [see Clinical Considerations ]. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with PERIKABIVEN. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryofetal Risk Severe malnutrition in a pregnant woman is associated with preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations and perinatal mortality. Parenteral nutrition should be considered if a pregnant woman's nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake.
