Release Details

– Five scientific abstracts spanning clinical and health economic outcomes research will be presented at the ACG Scientific Meeting, showcasing the breadth of Mallinckrodt's commitment to HRS patients with rapid reduction in kidney function¹ –

DUBLIN, Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt plc (OTCMKTS: MNKPF), a global specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that five scientific abstracts on the clinical and health economic outcomes of treatment with TERLIVAZ^® (terlipressin) for adult patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) involving rapid reduction in kidney function,¹ will be presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina from October 21-26. TERLIVAZ is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) with rapid reduction in kidney function,¹ an acute and life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization.²

Please see Limitation of Use and Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning, below.

The findings from one of the abstracts, presented by Dr. R. Todd Frederick, Department of Transplant, California Pacific Medical Center, CA, provide insight into the effect of terlipressin on renal and circulatory dysfunction in patients with HRS, relative to placebo.³ Additional information on Dr. Frederick's study and the full list of Mallinckrodt's presentations can be found below.

"We look forward to sharing a range of new data, among those an ACG Award-Winning abstract that has received Presidential Poster recognition, highlighting the importance of additional treatment options for patients with HRS, like terlipressin. These findings not only have important implications for morbidity and mortality, but also help to shine a light on the persistent clinical and economic burden HRS patients in the U.S. face, and their need for additional options," said Khurram Jamil, Vice President, Hepatology, Clinical Development & Critical Care. "With the recent FDA approval of TERLIVAZ, we are hopeful that we are one step closer to improving outcomes for these critically ill patients."

These studies are sponsored by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and include:

Terlipressin is one of the most studied pharmacological agents in HRS with more than 70 published manuscripts and presented abstracts on clinical data to date.⁸ It has been approved outside the U.S. for more than 30 years and is available on five continents for its indications in the countries where it is approved.^9,10

About Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS)
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) involving rapid reduction in kidney function¹ is an acute and life-threatening condition that occurs in people with advanced liver disease.² HRS is classified into two distinct types – a rapidly progressive type that leads to acute renal failure where patients are typically hospitalized for their care and a more chronic type that progresses over weeks to months.² HRS involving rapid reduction in kidney function is estimated to affect between 30,000 and 40,000 Americans annually.^11,12 If left untreated, HRS with rapid reduction in kidney function has a median survival time of approximately two weeks and greater than 80 percent mortality within three months.¹³

INDICATION AND LIMITATION OF USE
TERLIVAZ is indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome with rapid reduction in kidney function.

• Patients with a serum creatinine >5 mg/dL are unlikely to experience benefit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: SERIOUS OR FATAL RESPIRATORY FAILURE

• TERLIVAZ may cause serious or fatal respiratory failure. Patients with volume overload or with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) Grade 3 are at increased risk. Assess oxygenation saturation (e.g., SpO₂) before initiating TERLIVAZ.

• Do not initiate TERLIVAZ in patients experiencing hypoxia (e.g., SpO₂ <90%) until oxygenation levels improve. Monitor patients for hypoxia using continuous pulse oximetry during treatment and discontinue TERLIVAZ if SpO₂ decreases below 90%.

Contraindications
TERLIVAZ is contraindicated:

• In patients experiencing hypoxia or worsening respiratory symptoms.
• In patients with ongoing coronary, peripheral, or mesenteric ischemia.

Warnings and Precautions

• Serious or Fatal Respiratory Failure: Obtain baseline oxygen saturation and do not initiate TERLIVAZ in hypoxic patients. Monitor patients for changes in respiratory status using continuous pulse oximetry and regular clinical assessments. Discontinue TERLIVAZ in patients experiencing hypoxia or increased respiratory symptoms.

Manage intravascular volume overload by reducing or discontinuing the administration of albumin and/or other fluids and through judicious use of diuretics. Temporarily interrupt, reduce, or discontinue TERLIVAZ treatment until patient volume status improves. Avoid use in patients with ACLF Grade 3 because they are at significant risk for respiratory failure.

• Ineligibility for Liver Transplant: TERLIVAZ-related adverse reactions (respiratory failure, ischemia) may make a patient ineligible for liver transplantation, if listed. For patients with high prioritization for liver transplantation (e.g., MELD ≥35), the benefits of TERLIVAZ may not outweigh its risks.

• Ischemic Events: TERLIVAZ may cause cardiac, cerebrovascular, peripheral, or mesenteric ischemia. Avoid use of TERLIVAZ in patients with a history of severe cardiovascular conditions or cerebrovascular or ischemic disease. Discontinue TERLIVAZ in patients who experience signs or symptoms suggestive of ischemic adverse reactions.

• Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: TERLIVAZ may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If TERLIVAZ is used during pregnancy, the patient should be informed of the potential risk to the fetus.

Adverse Reactions

• The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) include abdominal pain, nausea, respiratory failure, diarrhea, and dyspnea.
