1. What is Strimvelis and what is it used for
Strimvelis is a type of medicine called gene therapy. It is produced specifically for each patient.
Strimvelis is used in children to treat a serious condition called ADA-SCID
(adenosine deaminase deficiency severe combined immunodeficiency). It is used when your child
cannot receive a bone marrow transplant from a family donor because the compatibility is not
sufficient.
ADA-SCID occurs due to a defective gene in the blood cells of your child's immune system. As a result, the cells do not produce enough of an enzyme called adenosine
deaminase(ADA) and your child's immune system does not function properly to defend the
body against infections.
To produce Strimvelis, bone marrow stem cells from your child are modified in the laboratory
to insert a gene that produces ADA. When these modified stem cells are returned to your child, they can divide to produce different types of blood cells, including cells involved in
your child's immune system.
2. What you need to know before Strimvelis is given to you (or to your child)
Strimvelis is not suitable for some people
Strimvelis must not be given if your child:
- is allergicto any of the ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- has or has had a type of cancercalled leukaemiaor myelodysplasia
- tests positive for HIV or some other infections(your doctor will advise you about this)
- has already been treated with gene therapy
Warnings and precautions
Information about cell-based medicines, such as Strimvelis, must be kept for 30 years
at the hospital. The information that will be kept about your child will be their first name and surname and the
batch number of Strimvelis received.
Strimvelis is prepared specifically from the patient’s own cells. It must never be given to anyone
else.
Inserting a new gene into DNA can cause blood cancers. There has been one case of
blood cancer, called leukaemia, in a patient several years after treatment with Strimvelis. It is therefore
important to monitor your child for symptoms of leukaemia. These include fever, shortness of breath,
paleness, night sweats, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, frequent infections, a tendency to
bleed and/or bruise easily, or red or purple spots under the skin. If your child develops any
of these symptoms you should contact your doctor immediately.
Before treatment with Strimvelis, your child will be given other medicines (see
sections 3 and 4 for more information about these medicines, including possible side effects).
If your child tests positive for hepatitis C, they may still be treated under certain
conditions. Your doctor will discuss this with you if necessary.
Central venous catheters are thin, flexible tubes that are inserted by a doctor into a large
vein to access your child’s bloodstream. The risks of these lines are infections and the
formation of blood clots. Your doctor and nurses will monitor your child for any
complications of the central venous catheter.
Treatment with Strimvelis has not been successful in some patients. These patients have received alternative
treatment options.
There is a small risk of infection following treatment. Your child’s doctors and nurses will monitor them during the infusion for signs of infection and provide care if needed.
Some patients may develop autoimmunity, i.e. trigger an immune response against their own
cells or tissues (see section 4). Your child’s doctor will discuss this with you if necessary.
After treatment, your child should never donate blood, organs or tissues in the future. This is because
Strimvelis is a gene therapy product.
When treatment with Strimvelis cannot be completed
In some cases, it may not be possible to proceed with the planned treatment with Strimvelis for the
following reasons:
- a problem with taking cells from your child’s bone marrow to produce the medicine
- not enough cells of the correct type in the tissue taken from your child’s body to produce the medicine
- the medicine does not meet all quality controls
- a delay in getting the medicine to the hospital where your child’s treatment is taking place.
Before receiving Strimvelis, your child will be given chemotherapy to remove their
existing bone marrow. If Strimvelis cannot be given after chemotherapy, or if the modified stem cells do not engraft (take) in your child’s body, your doctor will give
your child replacement stem cells, using the reserve sample that had been taken and stored
before the start of treatment (see also section 3, How Strimvelis is given).
You may need other treatments
Strimvelis undergoes several checks before it is used. Because it is given shortly after
being made, the final results of some of these checks will not be available before the
medicine is given. If the checks show anything that could affect your child, your doctor will treat them appropriately.
Other medicines and Strimvelis
Tell your doctorif your child is taking, has recently taken or might take any
other medicines.
Your child must not be given vaccines called live vaccines for 6 weeks before they
are given the medicine for conditioning to prepare them for treatment with Strimvelis, nor
after treatment while your child’s immune system is recovering.
Strimvelis contains sodium
This medicine contains 42 to 137 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per dose.
This is equivalent to 2-7% of the recommended maximum daily intake with the diet of an adult.
3. How Strimvelis is administered
Strimvelis is administered via infusion ( infusion) into a vein ( intravenously). It must be
administered exclusively in a specialized hospital and by a doctor who has experience in treating
patients with ADA-SCID and in the use of this type of medicine.
Before Strimvelis is prepared, the doctor will perform checks to ensure that your child does not have
certain infections (see section 2).
Two samples are taken
The doctor will take two samples of bone marrow cells before the scheduled treatment:
the reserve sample, collected at least 3 weeks before treatment with Strimvelis. This will be
stored to be administered as replacement cells if Strimvelis cannot be
administered or if it does not work (see "When treatment with Strimvelis cannot be
completed"in section 2)
the treatment sample, collected 4 or 5 days before treatment with Strimvelis. This will be
used to prepare Strimvelis, by inserting a new gene inside the cells.
Before and during treatment with Strimvelis
| g When | What is done | Why |
| A At least 3 weeks before treatment | Collection of the reserve sample of stem cells | to be stored as reserve (see above) |
| Approximately 4 or 5 days before treatment | Collection of the stem cell sample for treatment | to prepare Strimvelis (see above) |
| 3 days and 2 days before treatment | A medicine called busulfan is administered 4 times a day for 2 days (8 doses in total) | to prepare the bone marrow for treatment with Strimvelis and eliminate existing stem cells |
| Approximately 15-30 minutes before the treatment | An antihistamine medicine may be administered | or to make it less likely that you will have infusion reactions |
| Strimvelis is administered... | c a via infusion into a vein. The time required is approximately 20 minutes | |
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Side effects related to Strimvelis are all caused by the fact that the immune system becomes
overactive and attacks the body's own tissues. Some side effects may be related to the
busulfan medicine used to prepare your child's bone marrow for treatment; these are
marked with an asterisk (*) in the following list.
Very common:may affectmore than 1 in 10 people:
- runny or blocked nose ( allergic rhinitis)
- shortness of breath, difficulty breathing ( asthma)
- skin inflammation and itching ( atopic dermatitis, eczema)
- high temperature ( pyrexia)
- underactive thyroid ( hypothyroidism)
- high blood pressure ( hypertension)*
- decreased number of red or white blood cells ( anemia, neutropenia)*
- increased liver enzymes (which indicates stress to the liver)*
- blood test results positive for antinuclear antibodies and anti-smooth muscle antibodies(which may suggest possible autoimmunity)
Common:may affectup to 1 in 10 people:
- red or purple spots on the skin, bleeding under the skin ( autoimmune thrombocytopenia)
- inflammation of the thyroid ( autoimmune thyroiditis)
- weakness and pain in the feet and hands caused by nerve damage ( Guillain-Barré syndrome)
- inflammation of the liver ( autoimmune hepatitis)
- reduction in the number of blood cells ( autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune aplastic anemia)
- blood test results positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies(which may lead to autoimmune inflammation and swelling of blood vessels and possibly increased infection level)
- a type of blood cancer called leukemia
If you have any doubts about the symptoms or side effects, or if any symptom worries you, contact
your child's doctor or nurse.
