ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis:

Hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis have been reported during the intravenous infusion of obiltoxaximab. Due to the risk of hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis, obiltoxaximab should be administered in monitored settings by personnel trained and equipped to manage anaphylaxis. Monitor individuals who receive obiltoxaximab closely for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions throughout the infusion and for a period of time after administration. Stop obiltoxaximab infusion immediately and treat appropriately if hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis occurs.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Hypersensitivity: [US Boxed Warning]: Hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reactions (eg, rash/urticaria, cough, dyspnea, cyanosis, postural dizziness, chest discomfort) may occur. Administer in a monitored setting; monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity during and after the infusion. If hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis occurs, discontinue the infusion immediately and treat appropriately.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). Refer to manufacturer's labeling.

Generic Equivalent Available: US

May be product dependent

Dosage Forms: Canada

Excipient information presented when available (limited, particularly for generics); consult specific product labeling.

Solution, Intravenous:

Anthim: 600 mg/6 mL (6 mL) [contains polysorbate 80]

Prescribing and Access Restrictions

Obiltoxaximab (ANTHIM) is not available for general public use. All supplies are currently owned by the federal government for inclusion in the Strategic National Stockpile and for use by the US military.

Administration: Adult

IV: Premedication with diphenhydramine is recommended. Administer prepared solution (IV infusion bag or syringe) using a 0.22 micron inline filter over 1 hour and 30 minutes. Flush the line with NS at the end of the infusion.

Administration: Pediatric

IV: Must be diluted prior to administration. Administer over 90 minutes using a 0.22 micron inline filter. Flush the line with NS at the end of the infusion. Premedication with diphenhydramine is recommended.

Use: Labeled Indications

Anthrax, inhalational:

Treatment of inhalational anthrax due to Bacillus anthracis in combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs

Prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax due to B. anthracis when alternative therapies are not available or not appropriate

Limitations of use: Should only be used for prophylaxis when the benefit for prevention of inhalational anthrax outweighs the risk of hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis.

Metabolism/Transport Effects

None known.

Drug Interactions

Note: Interacting drugs may not be individually listed below if they are part of a group interaction (eg, individual drugs within “CYP3A4 Inducers [Strong]” are NOT listed). For a complete list of drug interactions by individual drug name and detailed management recommendations, use the Lexicomp drug interactions program by clicking on the “Launch drug interactions program” link above.

Efgartigimod Alfa: May diminish the therapeutic effect of Fc Receptor-Binding Agents. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Rozanolixizumab: May diminish the therapeutic effect of Fc Receptor-Binding Agents. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Pregnancy Considerations

Obiltoxaximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody (IgG1). Placental transfer of human IgG is dependent upon the IgG subclass, maternal serum concentrations, birth weight, and gestational age, generally increasing as pregnancy progresses. The lowest exposure would be expected during the period of organogenesis (Palmeira 2012; Pentsuk 2009).

Untreated maternal anthrax infection has a high risk of maternal, fetal, and neonatal death. In general, guidelines for the prophylaxis and treatment of inhalational anthrax following exposure to Bacillus anthracis in pregnant and postpartum women are the same as nonpregnant adults (Meaney-Delman 2014).

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if obiltoxaximab is present in breast milk.

Obiltoxaximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody (IgG1). Maternal IgG is present in breast milk. According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother. In general, guidelines for the prophylaxis and treatment of inhalational anthrax following exposure to Bacillus anthracis in lactating women are the same as nonpregnant adults (Meaney-Delman 2014).

Monitoring Parameters

Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity during and after the infusion.

Mechanism of Action

Obiltoxaximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds the free protective antigen component of B. anthracis toxin thereby preventing the intracellular entry of the anthrax lethal factor and edema factor, the enzymatic toxin components responsible for the pathogenic effects of anthrax toxin.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Distribution: Greater than plasma volume (eg, some tissue distribution).

Excretion: Minimal renal elimination
