WHY REBYOTA®

REBYOTA is the first and only single-dose microbiota-based live biotherapeutic approved to prevent recurrence of C. difficile infection starting at first recurrence1,2,a

aIn the pivotal phase 3 trial, 32.8% of patients were treated at first recurrence of CDI following antibiotic treatment of CDI.1

  • Participants across 5 trials were not excluded if they had a history of food allergies1

bIn PUNCH™ CD2 and PUNCH™ CD3, participants were excluded if they had a known history of refractory CDI, IBD, IBS, chronic diarrhea, celiac disease, colostomy, active colitis, required antibiotic therapy for another condition, or had a history of fecal matter transplant.1,3,6 PUNCH™ CD3-OLS did not exclude individuals with celiac disease, IBD, IBS, and chronic diarrhea.1

PIVOTAL PUNCH™ CD3 TRIAL

Enrolled 320 patients with documented recurrent CDI (≥1 recurrence after a primary episode of CDIc or ≥2 episodes of severe CDI resulting in hospitalization within the last year).1,6

Investigator’s choice: Diagnostic test(s) used and selection of antibiotic to address active infection.6,d

PCR was utilized in >70% of PUNCH™ CD3 participants to diagnose qualified CDI.6

No bowel prep/laxatives: Patients did not receive bowel prep prior to REBYOTA® treatment.6

CD3 Trial Outline: Investigator's choice antibiotic for CDI. Patients randomized 2:1. Washout period 24 - 72 hours after last dose of antibiotics. Patients who took 1 REBYOTA dose saw a recurrence of CDI at ≤8 weeks whereas patients taking 1 Placebo dose did not.

cPatients also must have completed >1 round of SoC antibiotic therapy.6

dCDI diagnosis confirmed 30 days before study enrollment via PCR, EIA, GDH, toxin A or B presence, or other CDI diagnostic test. Antibiotics (vancomycin, vancomycin in combination, fidaxomicin, or other) administered ≥10 consecutive days before washout.6

Effectiveness of REBYOTA was evaluated using a Bayesian analysis of data from PUNCH™ CD3, which formally integrated administration success rates from PUNCH™ CD2. Only data from the REBYOTA one-dose group and the placebo group are described. 99.1% posterior probability that REBYOTA is superior to placebo (97.5% predefined threshold).1,6

REBYOTA SAFETY
FOLLOW-UP RANGED FROM 6 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS

Across the 5 trials in the clinical program, 978 patients had at least 1 dose of REBYOTA.1

In the PUNCH™ CD3 trial…

Adverse reactions reported by ≥3% of REBYOTA recipients (and at a rate greater than that reported by placebo recipients) within 8 weeks after receipt of REBYOTA or placebo.1,6,h

ADVERSE REACTIONS, n (%)1 REBYOTA
n=180		 Placebo
n=87
Abdominal pain 16 (8.9%) 6 (6.9%)
Diarrhea 13 (7.2%) 3 (3.4%)
Abdominal distension 7 (3.9%) 2 (2.3%)
Flatulence 6 (3.3%) 0
Nausea 6 (3.3%) 1 (1.1%)

Most adverse reactions occurred during the first 2 weeks after administration1

  • Proportion of patients with adverse reactions declined in subsequent 2-week intervals thereafter
  • Beyond 2 weeks after administration only a few single events were reported

Most adverse drug reactions were mild to moderate in severity1

  • No life-threatening adverse reaction related to REBYOTA was reported

hAdverse reactions were defined as solicited and unsolicited adverse events that were assessed as definitely, possibly, or probably related to treatment by the study investigator and that occurred within 8 weeks after blinded REBYOTA or placebo administration or until recurrence of CDI.1

REBYOTA ADMINISTRATION—ONE DOSE.
ONE COMPLETE MICROBIOME-BASED BIOTHERAPEUTIC

REBYOTA is efficiently administered within minutes by a healthcare professional10

  • Efficient delivery: REBYOTA is a pre-packaged 150-mL suspension that is rectally administered in any site of care by a healthcare professional1

No bowel prep/laxatives, fasting, anesthesia, or colonoscopy required6

REBYOTA ADMINISTRATION HIGHLIGHTS

step number 1

BEFORE

  • Request that patient empty bladder and bowel, if possible
  • Place patient in the preferred position: either a left-side or knee-chest position
step number 2

DURING

  • Lubricate and insert the administration tube about 5 inches pointed slightly toward the navel
  • Hold the administration tube, with other hand open pinch clamp
  • Gradually raise, allow REBYOTA to flow via gravity
step number 3

AFTER

  • Withdraw tube
  • Keep patient in position for up to 15 minutes to minimize possible cramping
  • It is normal for some product to remain in tube; does not affect treatment
  • No specified cleaning of facility in phase 3 trial protocol

 

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

  • DO NOT administer REBYOTA during antibiotic treatment for CDI
  • Administer REBYOTA 24 to 72 hours after the last dose of antibiotics

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

INDICATION

REBYOTA (fecal microbiota, live – jslm) is indicated for the prevention of recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in individuals 18 years of age and older, following antibiotic treatment for recurrent CDI.
Limitation of Use
REBYOTA is not indicated for treatment of CDI.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindications
Do not administer REBYOTA to individuals with a history of a severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any of the known product components.
Warnings and Precautions
Transmissible infectious agents
Because REBYOTA is manufactured from human fecal matter, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents. Any infection suspected by a physician possibly to have been transmitted by this product should be reported by the physician or other healthcare provider to Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Management of acute allergic reactions
Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available in the event an acute anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of REBYOTA.
Potential presence of food allergens
REBYOTA is manufactured from human fecal material and may contain food allergens. The potential for REBYOTA to cause adverse reactions due to food allergens is unknown.
Adverse Reactions
The most commonly reported (≥3%) adverse reactions occurring in adults following a single dose of REBYOTA were abdominal pain (8.9%), diarrhea (7.2%), abdominal distention (3.9%), flatulence (3.3%), and nausea (3.3%).
Use in Specific Populations
Pediatric Use
Safety and efficacy of REBYOTA in patients below 18 years of age have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Of the 978 adults who received REBYOTA, 48.8% were 65 years of age and over (n=477), and 25.7% were 75 years of age and over (n=251). Data from clinical studies of REBYOTA are not sufficient to determine if adults 65 years of age and older respond differently than younger adults.
