The clinical data described for KABIVEN reflects exposure in 145 patients exposed for 7 days to 4 weeks in 7 active-controlled trials. The pooled population exposed to KABIVEN was 25 to 87 years old, 35% female, 99% Caucasian. The enrolled patients had varied underlying conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders (41%) neoplasms (48%), vascular disorders (35%) and other surgical procedures (21%). Most patients received central intravenous infusion doses of ≥80% of their target mean daily exposure. Adverse reactions occurring in at least 1% of patients who received KABIVEN are shown in Table 3 . Table 3: Adverse Reactions in >1% of Patients Treated with KABIVEN * Terms as reported in clinical studies Adverse reaction KABIVEN N=145 (%) Nausea 22 (15) Pyrexia 13 (9) Hypertension 12 (8) Vomiting 8 (6) Hemoglobin decreased 8 (6) Protein total decreased 6 (4) Hypokalemia 6 (4) Blood potassium decreased 6 (4) Gamma-glutamyltransferase increased 6 (4) Hyperglycemia 3 (2) Blood alkaline phosphatase increased 2 (1) Blood calcium decreased 2 (1) Prothrombin time prolonged 2 (1) Pruritus 2 (1) Tachycardia 2 (1) Less common adverse reactions in ≤1% of patients who received KABIVEN were hyperkalemia, hypertriglyceridemia, headache, dizziness, dysgeusia, rash, eczema, blood glucose increased, and increase in blood triglycerides. 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 KABIVEN. 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 KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN in countries where it is registered. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to product exposure. Hepatobiliary disorders: cholestasis Infections and infestations: infection Nervous system disorders: subependymal hemorrhage

Dosage And Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intravenous infusion only into a central vein. ( 2.1 , 5.10 ) 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 KABIVEN is for intravenous infusion only into a 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 2.6 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 KABIVEN via a Y-site due to precipitation. However, in patients other than neonates, ceftriaxone and KABIVEN 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 [see 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 [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )] . Use KABIVEN immediately after 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. In the absence of additives, once activated, KABIVEN remains stable for 48 hours at 25°C (77°F). If not used immediately, the activated bag can be stored for up to 7 days under refrigeration [2° to 8°C (36º to 46°F)]. After removal from refrigeration, the activated bag should be used within 48 hours. 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 KABIVEN 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.

Discard unused portion. Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure 2.4 Dosing Considerations The dosage of KABIVEN 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. KABIVEN 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 ]. KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN, 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 KABIVEN in adults is 19 to 38 mL/kg/day. The amount of macronutrients provided by KABIVEN are shown in Table 1 . The maximum daily dosage of KABIVEN in adults should not exceed 40 mL/kg/day. In patients with serum triglyceride concentrations above 400 mg/dL, stop the KABIVEN infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels. Once the triglycerides are <400 mg/dL, restart KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN recommended dosage Fluid mL/kg/day 19 to 38 Protein* g/kg/day Nitrogen g/kg/day 0.6 to 1.3 0.1 to 0.2 Dextrose** g/kg/day 2.1 to 4.1 Lipids g/kg/day 0.7 to 1.5 Total Energy Requirement kcal/kg/day 16 to 32 Treatment with KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN dosage can be adjusted based on the treatment for the renal impairment, supplementing protein as indicated. If required, additional amino acids may be added to the KABIVEN bag or infused separately. Infusion Duration and Rate The recommended duration of infusion for KABIVEN is between 12 and 24 hours, depending on the clinical situation. The maximum infusion rate of KABIVEN is 2.6 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 0.1 g/kg/hour of lipids. Dosing Instructions Determine the fluid requirements (19 to 38 mL/kg/day) and the patient's nutritional requirements to be delivered, and then select the corresponding KABIVEN bag. Determine the preferred duration of infusion (12 to 24 hours). Ensure that the rate of infusion (KABIVEN 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., 2.6 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 KABIVEN. Discuss with a pharmacist any additions that may be required.

Indications And Usage

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE KABIVEN 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. KABIVEN may be used to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency or treat negative nitrogen balance in adult patients. Limitations of Use: KABIVEN 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 )] .

( 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 )

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 KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN, in the same intravenous administration line. Do not administer ceftriaxone simultaneously with KABIVEN via a Y-site. However, ceftriaxone and KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN has vitamin K 1 . Vitamin K 1 can reverse the anticoagulant activity of coumarin and coumarin derivatives, including warfarin, which work by blocking recycling of vitamin K 1 . Monitor laboratory parameters for anticoagulant activity in patients who are on both KABIVEN and coumarin or coumarin derivatives.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN 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 ± 1.5 g/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 KABIVEN administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.12 , 5.13 )] . 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 KABIVEN 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.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN 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 )] . KABIVEN 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 KABIVEN in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk. However, there are clinical considerations if KABIVEN is used in pregnant women [see Clinical Considerations ]. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with KABIVEN. 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.
