Overview
Elapegademase-lvlr is a recombinant adenosine deaminase.
USES: Elapegademase is used to treat a certain inherited immune system disorder, adenosine deaminase severe combined immune deficiency (ADA-SCID). In this condition, the immune system does not work normally to fight infections. People with this disorder tend to get repeated infections that can be very serious or life-threatening.
Elapegademase is a man-made form of a substance made in your body (adenosine deaminase). It helps increase the number of blood cells that prevent and fight infection (lymphocytes).

Indications
The following indications are listed for Revcovi:
- Adenosine Deaminase Severe Combined Immune Deficiency
Also known as: Scid Due To Absent Adenosine Deaminase, Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Due To Ada Deficiency.
Dosing
It isessential that the manufacturer's labeling be consulted for more detailed information on dosage and administration of this drug. Dosage summary:
*The treatment of ADA-SCID with elapegademase-lvlr should be monitored by measuring trough plasma adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity, trough deoxyadenosine nucleotide (dAXP) levels, and/or total lymphocyte counts. Monitoring should be more frequent if therapy was interrupted or if an enhanced rate of clearance of plasma ADA activity develops. See full prescribing information for specific instructions on therapeutic drug monitoring of elapegademase-lvlr, including target trough ADA activity and dAXP levels and recommended monitoring schedules.
*Collect blood samples for the analysis of trough plasma ADA activity and trough dAXP level prior to the first administration of elapegademase-lvlr for the week.

Risk Summary: Adequate and well-controlled studies with elapegademase-lvlr have not been conducted in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with elapegademase-lvlr. It is not known whether elapegademase-lvlr can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the US general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Human Data: No pregnancy was reported for any patients receiving elapegademase-lvlr. There are two reports of confirmed cases of successful pregnancy and delivery in ADA-SCID patients treated with Adagen (pegademase bovine; the same class of enzyme replacement therapy used in the treatment of ADA-SCID). No teratogenic effects of Adagen were reported. For patients treated with elapegademase-lvlr, more frequent monitoring of the health status for both the mother during pregnancy and the development of the offspring is recommended.
Risk Summary: Human or animal lactation studies have not been conducted to assess the presence of elapegademase-lvlr in breast milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production for the mother. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for elapegademase-lvlr and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from elapegademase-lvlr or from the underlying maternal condition.
Elapegademase-lvlr was not studied in patients 65 years and older.
