Medical Uses: Besremi (ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft) is an interferon alfa-2b used for the treatment of adults with polycythemia vera (a rare, chronic and life-threatening disorder caused by a defective hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow, which results in a chronic increase of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets).
Recommended Dosage:
Patients Not Already on Hydroxyurea: The recommended starting dosage of Besremi for patients not on hydroxyurea is 100 mcg administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection every 2 weeks. Increase the dose of this medicine by 50 mcg every 2 weeks (up to a maximum of 500 mcg), until the hematological parameters are stabilized (hematocrit less than 45%, platelets less than 400 x 109 /L, and leukocytes less than 10 x 109 /L).
Patients Transitioning from Hydroxyurea: When transitioning to Besremi from hydroxyurea, start treatment at 50 mcg by subcutaneous (SC) injection every 2 weeks along with hydroxyurea. Gradually taper off the hydroxyurea by reducing the total biweekly dose by 20 to 40% every 2 weeks during Weeks 3 to 12. Increase the dose by 50 mcg every 2 weeks (up to a maximum of 500 mcg) until the hematological parameters are stabilized (hematocrit less than 45%, platelets less than 400 x 109 /L, and leukocytes less than 10 x 109 /L). Discontinue hydroxyurea by Week 13.
- Ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft 500 mcg/mL may be responsible for causing or worsening depression. In some instances, it can cause suicidal thoughts or behavior. Patients with a known history of mental health complications should be closely monitored. If depressive symptoms emerge, immediate psychiatric attention is recommended.
- This medicine may impact hormone-secreting organs, like the thyroid and pancreas. It could lead to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. During treatment, particularly with clients having known endocrine disorders, regular blood checks to monitor hormones may be required.
- This medication may cause cardiac problems such as hypertension, chest pain, or arrhythmia. Patients with a history of heart disease need to be monitored very closely. If you experience any chest pain, nausea, or shortness of breath, report it to your physician right away.
- Ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft is likely to cause decreased white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This could heighten susceptibility to infections, anemia, or bleeding. There is a need for regular blood tests to monitor blood counts and make further treatment decisions.
- Some patients may experience allergies such as a rash, swelling, itching, or breathing difficulties. Though rare, severe hypersensitivity requires urgent treatment. Allergic symptoms should be treated immediately, and consult a physician as soon as required.
- This medication has been associated with cases of acute pancreatitis. Associated symptoms may be excruciating abdominal pain and nausea. Such symptoms may require treatment interruption or discontinuation of therapy, however, this decision is solely based on the physician’s recommendation.
- Ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft may also induce colitis, which will manifest as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood per rectum. These symptoms, while they may be reassuring, require intervention by a medical professional to assess the situation. The condition may require some form of supportive care or alteration to existing treatment.
- There may be some severe complications involving the lungs, such as lung inflammation and scarring. Under these circumstances, the patients may begin to demonstrate a persistent cough with difficulty in breathing or tightness in the chest. If any of these symptoms are noted, imaging studies as well as clinical workup will be necessary, and the therapy should be adjusted accordingly.
- This medicine can affect vision. This may lead to blurred sight or eye pain. Eye exams are very important before and during treatment. Any sudden vision changes should be reported to a healthcare provider (HCP) immediately to prevent life-threatening complications.
- Monitoring the patients’ blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels is important. Cardiovascular long-term effects may raise concern if the elevated lipid levels remain unaddressed. Adjustments to dietary plans or medication may be necessary to mitigate the risk of these adverse outcomes.
- Damage to the liver, such as with an increase in liver enzymes or hepatitis, is possible during treatment. Symptoms may be jaundice, increased pigmentation of the skin, and exhaustion. There should be regular assessment of liver tests; if abnormalities are found, then modification of the dose may be necessary.
