PAPZIMEOS dosing & administration
PAPZIMEOS is for subcutaneous injection provided as a suspension in a single-dose 1-mL vial1
The recommended dose of PAPZIMEOS is 5 × 1011 particle units (PUs) per injection administered subcutaneously 4 times over a 12-week interval.1
Prior to the initial administration of PAPZIMEOS, perform a surgical debulking of visible papilloma to establish minimal residual disease (MRD).1
The second administration should occur no less than 11 days after the initial administration.1
To maintain MRD during treatment with PAPZIMEOS, remove visible papilloma, if present, prior to the third and fourth administration of PAPZIMEOS.1
In recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), the papilloma microenvironment suppresses human papillomavirus (HPV) clearance to perpetuate a chronic infection. Decreasing the disease burden through surgical interventions prior to treatment establishes MRD and may reduce the immunosuppression associated with the papilloma microenvironment to maximize the potential for clinical benefit.3,4
- PAPZIMEOS carton must be stored in an appropriate freezer at ≤ −60°C [≤ −76°F] until ready to thaw and administer.1
- PAPZIMEOS MUST BE RAPIDLY thawed before use and prepared for immediate administration.1
- Once thawed, DO NOT place the PAPZIMEOS vial in a refrigerator, freezer, or on dry ice. Protect PAPZIMEOS from light. DO NOT shake the vial.1
- DO NOT hold PAPZIMEOS at room temperature for more than 60 minutes after thawing.1
It is recommended to follow up every 3 months or sooner during the first year following treatment if there is a clinical concern for recurrence.2
