Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE XIAFLEX is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with Dupuytren’s contracture with a palpable cord. XIAFLEX is indicated for the treatment of adult men with Peyronie’s disease with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30 degrees at the start of therapy. XIAFLEX is a combination of bacterial collagenases indicated for: The treatment of adult patients with Dupuytren’s contracture with a palpable cord ( 1 ) The treatment of adult men with Peyronie’s disease with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30 degrees at the start of therapy ( 1 )

Dosage and administration

Dupuytren’s Contracture ( 2.1 ) XIAFLEX should be administered by a healthcare provider experienced in injection procedures of the hand and in the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture. Reconstitute XIAFLEX lyophilized powder with only the supplied diluent prior to use. Inject 0.58 mg of XIAFLEX into each palpable Dupuytren’s cord with a contracture of a metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint or a proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint according to the injection procedure. Up to two joints in the same hand may be treated during a treatment visit. ( 2.1 ) Approximately 24 to 72 hours following an injection, perform a finger extension procedure if a contracture persists. Injections and finger extension procedures may be administered up to 3 times per cord at approximately 4-week intervals. Inject up to two cords in the same hand at a treatment visit. If a patient has other cords with contractures, inject those cords at another treatment visit. Peyronie’s Disease ( 2.2 ) XIAFLEX should be administered by a healthcare provider experienced in the treatment of male urological diseases. Reconstitute XIAFLEX lyophilized powder with only the supplied diluent prior to use. A treatment cycle consists of two XIAFLEX injection procedures and a penile modeling procedure. Induce a penile erection. A single intracavernosal injection of 10 or 20 mcg of alprostadil may be used for this purpose. With the penis in the erect state, identify and mark the target area in the Peyronie’s plaque to be injected. The penis should be in a flaccid state before injecting XIAFLEX. Inject 0.58 mg XIAFLEX into the target plaque once on each of 2 days, 1 to 3 days apart, according to the injection procedure. Perform a penile modeling procedure 1 to 3 days after the second injection of each treatment cycle. For each plaque causing the curvature deformity, up to 4 treatment cycles may be administered. Each treatment cycle may be repeated at approximately 6-week intervals. If the curvature deformity is less than 15 degrees after the first, second or third treatment cycle, or if further treatment is not clinically indicated, then subsequent treatment cycles should not be administered. 2.1 Dosage and Administration for Dupuytren’s Contracture Dosing Overview for Dupuytren’s Contracture XIAFLEX should be administered by a healthcare provider experienced in injection procedures of the hand and in the treatment of patients with Dupuytren’s contracture. XIAFLEX, supplied as a lyophilized powder, must be reconstituted with the provided diluent prior to use [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] . The dose of XIAFLEX is 0.58 mg per injection into a palpable cord with a contracture of a metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint or a proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] . Each vial of XIAFLEX and sterile diluent should only be used for a single injection. If two joints on the same hand are to be treated during a treatment visit, separate vials and syringes should be used for each reconstitution and injection. Table 1 displays an overview of the volumes of sterile diluent for reconstitution and the reconstituted XIAFLEX solution to be used in the intralesional injection [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] . Approximately 24 to 72 hours after injection, perform a finger extension procedure if a contracture persists to facilitate cord disruption [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] . Table 1. Volumes Needed for Reconstitution and Administration for Dupuytren’s Contracture For cords affecting MP joints For cords affecting PIP joints 1 The reconstituted XIAFLEX solution to be used in the intralesional injection contains 0.58 mg of XIAFLEX. Note: The entire reconstituted XIAFLEX solution contains 0.9 mg of XIAFLEX. Reconstituted XIAFLEX solution remaining in the vial after the injection should be discarded. Sterile Diluent for Reconstitution Volume 0.39 mL 0.31 mL Reconstituted XIAFLEX Solution to be Injected 1 Volume 0.25 mL 0.20 mL Four weeks after the XIAFLEX injection and finger extension procedure, if a MP or PIP contracture remains, the cord may be re-injected with a single dose of 0.58 mg of XIAFLEX and the finger extension procedure may be repeated (approximately 24 to 72 hours after injection). Injections and finger extension procedures may be administered up to 3 times per cord at approximately 4-week intervals. Perform up to two injections in the same hand according to the injection procedure during a treatment visit. Two palpable cords affecting two joints may be injected or one palpable cord affecting two joints in the same finger may be injected at two locations during a treatment visit. If patient has other palpable cords with contractures of MP or PIP joints, these cords may be injected with XIAFLEX at other treatment visits approximately 4 weeks apart. Reconstitution of the Lyophilized Powder for Dupuytren’s Contracture a) Before use, remove the vial(s) containing the lyophilized powder of XIAFLEX and the vial(s) containing the diluent for reconstitution from the refrigerator and allow the vials to stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and no longer than 60 minutes. Visually inspect the vial(s) containing XIAFLEX. The cake of lyophilized powder should be intact and white in color. b) After removal of the flip-off cap from each vial, using aseptic technique swab the rubber stopper and surrounding surface of the vial(s) containing XIAFLEX and the vial(s) containing the diluent for reconstitution with sterile alcohol (no other antiseptics should be used). c) Use only the supplied diluent for reconstitution. The diluent contains calcium which is required for the activity of XIAFLEX. d) Using a 1-mL syringe that contains 0.01-mL graduations with a 27-gauge 1/2-inch needle (not supplied), withdraw a volume of the diluent supplied , as follows: 0.39 mL for cords affecting a MP joint or 0.31 mL for cords affecting a PIP joint.

Contraindications

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS XIAFLEX is contraindicated in: the treatment of Peyronie’s plaques that involve the penile urethra due to potential risk to this structure. patients with a history of hypersensitivity to XIAFLEX or to collagenase used in any other therapeutic application or application method [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] . Peyronie’s plaques that involve the penile urethra ( 4 ) History of hypersensitivity to XIAFLEX or to collagenase used in other therapeutic applications ( 4 )

Warnings and precautions

Tendon rupture or serious injury to the injected finger/hand: Avoid injecting XIAFLEX into tendons, nerves, blood vessels, or other collagen-containing structure of the hand. Injection into these structures may result in possible permanent injury, such as tendon rupture, ligament damage, or skin laceration. ( 5.1 ) Corporal rupture (penile fracture) or other serious injury to the penis: Avoid injecting into the urethra, nerves, blood vessels, corpora cavernosa or other collagen-containing structures of the penis. Injection into these structures may result in possible permanent injury such as corporal rupture (penile fracture). ( 5.2 ) Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis: Healthcare providers should be prepared to address hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, following XIAFLEX injections. ( 5.4 ) Patients with abnormal coagulation: Use with caution, including in patients who have received anticoagulant medications other than low-dose aspirin within 7 days of the injection. ( 5.5 ) Acute post-injection back pain reactions: Observe patients and provide palliative support as needed. Administer the smallest number of treatment cycles necessary to treat the patient’s curvature deformity ( 5.6 , 6.4 ) Syncope and presyncope: Make patients aware that post-injection pain can trigger syncope and presyncope. If presyncope occurs, patients should remain recumbent until symptoms resolve. ( 5.7 , 6.4 ) 5.1 Tendon Rupture or Other Serious Injury to the Injected Finger/Hand in the Treatment of Dupuytren’s Contracture In the controlled and uncontrolled portions of clinical trials in Dupuytren’s contracture, flexor tendon ruptures occurred after XIAFLEX injection [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] . Injection of XIAFLEX into collagen-containing structures such as tendons or ligaments of the hand may result in damage to those structures and possible permanent injury such as tendon rupture or ligament damage. Therefore, XIAFLEX should be injected only into the collagen cord with a MP or PIP joint contracture, and care should be taken to avoid injecting into tendons, nerves, blood vessels, or other collagen-containing structures of the hand. When injecting a cord affecting a PIP joint of the fifth finger, the needle insertion should not be more than 2 to 3 mm in depth and avoid injecting more than 4 mm distal to the palmar digital crease [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)] . Other XIAFLEX-associated serious local adverse reactions included pulley rupture, ligament injury, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), sensory abnormality of the hand, and skin laceration (tear). In a historically controlled post-marketing trial, the incidence of skin laceration (22%) was higher for subjects treated with two concurrent injections of XIAFLEX compared with subjects treated with up to three single injections in the placebo-controlled premarketing trials (9%). Postmarketing cases of skin laceration requiring skin graft after finger extension procedures and local skin and soft-tissue necrosis, some requiring skin grafting or, other surgical interventions including finger amputation have been reported. Signs or symptoms that may reflect serious injury to the injected finger/hand should be promptly evaluated because surgical intervention may be required. 5.2 Corporal Rupture (Penile Fracture) or Other Serious Injury to the Penis in the Treatment of Peyronie’s Disease Corporal rupture was reported as an adverse reaction after XIAFLEX injections in 5 of 1044 (0.5%) XIAFLEX-treated patients in the controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials in Peyronie’s disease. In other XIAFLEX-treated patients (9 of 1044; 0.9%), a combination of penile ecchymoses or hematoma, sudden penile detumescence, and/or a penile “popping” sound or sensation was reported, and in these cases, a diagnosis of corporal rupture cannot be excluded. These patients were managed without surgical intervention, but the long-term consequences are unknown. Severe penile hematoma was also reported as an adverse reaction in 39 of 1044 patients (3.7%) in the controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials in Peyronie’s disease [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] . In the postmarketing setting, cases of localized skin and soft tissue necrosis occurring as sequelae of penile hematoma have been reported. Some of the cases required surgical intervention. Injection of XIAFLEX into collagen-containing structures such as the corpora cavernosa of the penis may result in damage to those structures and possible injury such as corporal rupture (penile fracture). Therefore, XIAFLEX should be injected only into the Peyronie’s plaque and care should be taken to avoid injecting into the urethra, nerves, blood vessels, corpora cavernosa or other collagen-containing structures of the penis. Signs or symptoms that may reflect serious injury to the penis should be promptly evaluated in order to assess for corporal rupture or severe penile hematoma, which may require surgical intervention. 5.3 XIAFLEX REMS Program Because of the risks of corporal rupture (penile fracture) or other serious penile injury in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease, XIAFLEX is available only through the XIAFLEX REMS Program [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] . Required components of the XIAFLEX REMS Program include the following: Prescribers must be certified with the program by enrolling and completing training in the administration of XIAFLEX treatment for Peyronie’s disease. Healthcare sites must be certified with the program and ensure that XIAFLEX is only dispensed for use by certified prescribers. Further information is available at www.XIAFLEXREMS.com or 1-877-313-1235. 5.4 Hypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis In the controlled portions of the clinical trials in Dupuytren’s contracture (Studies 1 and 2), a greater proportion of XIAFLEX-treated patients (15%) compared to placebo-treated patients (1%) had mild allergic reactions (pruritus) after up to 3 injections.

Side effects

The following serious adverse reactions in patients with Dupuytren’s contracture are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the labeling: Tendon ruptures or other serious injury to the injected extremity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] The following serious adverse reactions in patients with Peyronie’s disease are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the labeling: Corporal rupture (penile fracture) and severe penile hematoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] In other XIAFLEX-treated patients, a combination of penile ecchymoses or hematoma, sudden penile detumescence, and/or a penile “popping” sound or sensation was reported, and in these cases, a diagnosis of corporal rupture cannot be excluded [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Dupuytren’s Contracture ( 6.1 ) The most common adverse reactions reported in ≥ 25% of patients treated with XIAFLEX and at an incidence greater than placebo were edema peripheral (e.g., swelling of the injected hand), contusion, injection site hemorrhage, injection site reaction, and pain in the injected extremity. Peyronie’s Disease ( 6.2 ) The most frequently reported adverse drug reactions reported with ≥ 25% of patients treated with XIAFLEX and at an incidence greater than placebo were penile hematoma, penile swelling and penile pain. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Endo at 1-800-462-3636 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Studies Experience in Patients with Dupuytren’s Contracture Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Out of 1082 patients who received 0.58 mg of XIAFLEX in the controlled and uncontrolled portions of the XIAFLEX studies (2630 XIAFLEX injections), 3 (0.3%) patients had a flexor tendon rupture of the treated finger within 7 days of the injection. The data described below are based on two pooled randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials through Day 90 in patients with Dupuytren’s contracture (Studies 1 and 2). In these trials, patients were treated with up to 3 injections of 0.58 mg of XIAFLEX or placebo with approximately 4-week intervals between injections and the patients had finger extension procedures the day after injection, if needed, to facilitate disruption of the cord [see Clinical Studies (14)] . These trials were comprised of 374 patients of whom 249 and 125 received 0.58 mg of XIAFLEX and placebo, respectively. The mean age was 63 years, 80% were male and 20% were female, and 100% were white. In the placebo-controlled portions of Studies 1 and 2 through Day 90, 98% and 51% of XIAFLEX-treated and placebo-treated patients had an adverse reaction after up to 3 injections, respectively. Over 95% of XIAFLEX-treated patients had an adverse reaction of the injected extremity after up to 3 injections. Approximately 81% of these local reactions resolved without intervention within 4 weeks of XIAFLEX injections. The adverse reaction profile was similar for each injection, regardless of the number of injections administered. However, the incidence of pruritus increased with more injections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. The most frequently reported adverse drug reactions (≥ 25%) in the XIAFLEX clinical trials in patients with Dupuytren’s contracture included edema peripheral (mostly swelling of the injected hand), contusion, injection site hemorrhage, injection site reaction, and pain in the treated extremity. Table 3 shows the incidence of adverse reactions that were reported in greater than or equal to 5% of XIAFLEX-treated patients and at a frequency greater than placebo-treated patients after up to 3 injections in the pooled placebo-controlled trials through Day 90 (Studies 1 and 2). Table 3. Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥ 5% of XIAFLEX-Treated Patients with Dupuytren’s Contracture and at a Greater Incidence than Placebo in the Placebo-Controlled Trials Through Day 90 After Up to 3 Injections a Most of these events were swelling of the injected hand. b Includes the terms: contusion (any body system) and ecchymosis. c Includes the terms: injection site reaction, injection site erythema, injection site inflammation, injection site irritation, injection site pain, and injection site warmth. d Includes the terms: injection site swelling and injection site edema. e Includes the terms: pruritus and injection site pruritus. f Includes the terms: lymphadenopathy and axillary mass.

The safety of two concurrent injections of XIAFLEX 0.58 mg into Dupuytren’s cords in the same hand was evaluated in a historically-controlled, open-label multi-center trial in 715 adult subjects with Dupuytren’s contracture (Study 3). In Study 3, finger extension procedures were performed approximately 24 to 72 hours after injection. The patient demographics were similar to Studies 1 and 2. Out of 715 patients who received two concurrent injections of XIAFLEX 0.58 mg in the same hand (1450 XIAFLEX injections) in Study 3, one (0.1%) patient experienced a tendon rupture of the treated finger within 3 days of the injection. Table 4 shows the incidence of adverse reactions that were reported in greater than or equal to 5% of XIAFLEX-treated patients after two concurrent injections of XIAFLEX in the same hand through Day 60 in Study 3. Table 4.

Drug interactions

Anticoagulant drugs: XIAFLEX should be used with caution in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants (except for low-dose aspirin) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)] .

Use in specific populations

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Category B There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of XIAFLEX in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, XIAFLEX should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Risk Summary Based on animal data, XIAFLEX is not predicted to increase the risk for major developmental abnormalities in humans. Human Data Human pharmacokinetic studies showed that XIAFLEX levels were not quantifiable in the systemic circulation following injection into a Dupuytren’s cord. Low levels of XIAFLEX were quantifiable in the plasma of evaluable male subjects for up to 30 minutes following administration of XIAFLEX into the penile plaque of subjects with Peyronie’s disease [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Almost all patients develop anti-product antibodies (anti-AUX-I and anti-AUX-II) after treatment with XIAFLEX, and the clinical significance of anti-product antibody formation on a developing fetus is not known [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Animal Data Reproduction studies have been performed in rats with intravenous exposures up to approximately 11 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of XIAFLEX on a mg/m 2 basis, and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to collagenase clostridium histolyticum. 8.3 Nursing Mothers It is not known whether collagenase clostridium histolyticum is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when XIAFLEX is administered to a nursing woman. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of XIAFLEX in pediatric patients less than 18 years old have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 249 XIAFLEX-treated patients in the double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trials in Dupuytren’s contracture (Studies 1 and 2), 104 (42%) were 65 years of age or older and 9% were 75 years of age or older. Of the 551 XIAFLEX-treated patients in the double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trials in Peyronie’s disease (Studies 1 and 2), 100 (18%) were 65 years of age or older and 5 (0.9 %) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of XIAFLEX were observed between these patients and younger patients.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Category B There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of XIAFLEX in pregnant women.

Pediatric use

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of XIAFLEX in pediatric patients less than 18 years old have not been established.

Geriatric use

8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 249 XIAFLEX-treated patients in the double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trials in Dupuytren’s contracture (Studies 1 and 2), 104 (42%) were 65 years of age or older and 9% were 75 years of age or older. Of the 551 XIAFLEX-treated patients in the double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trials in Peyronie’s disease (Studies 1 and 2), 100 (18%) were 65 years of age or older and 5 (0.9 %) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of XIAFLEX were observed between these patients and younger patients.

Overdosage

The effects of overdose of XIAFLEX are unknown. It is possible that multiple simultaneous or excessive doses of XIAFLEX may cause more severe local effects than the recommended doses including serious adverse reactions in the injected area (e.g., tendon ruptures or corporal ruptures dependent on the injection site). Supportive care and symptomatic treatment are recommended in these circumstances.

Description

11 DESCRIPTION XIAFLEX contains purified collagenase clostridium histolyticum, consisting of two microbial collagenases in a defined mass ratio, Collagenase AUX-I and Collagenase AUX-II, which are isolated and purified from the fermentation of Clostridium histolyticum bacteria. Collagenase AUX-I is a single polypeptide chain consisting of approximately 1000 amino acids of known sequence. It has an observed molecular weight of 114 kiloDaltons (kDa). It belongs to the class I Clostridium histolyticum collagenases. Collagenase AUX-II is a single polypeptide chain consisting of approximately 1000 amino acids of deduced sequence. It has an observed molecular weight of 113 kDa. It belongs to the class II Clostridium histolyticum collagenases. XIAFLEX is supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder (white cake) intended for reconstitution with the supplied sterile diluent (0.3 mg/mL calcium chloride dihydrate in 0.9% sodium chloride) prior to intralesional injection into a Dupuytren’s cord or a Peyronie’s plaque. XIAFLEX is available in single-use, glass vials containing 0.9 mg of collagenase clostridium histolyticum. Each vial also contains 0.5 mg of hydrochloric acid, 18.5 mg of sucrose, and 1.1 mg of tromethamine.

Mechanism of action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Collagenases are proteinases that hydrolyze collagen in its native triple helical conformation under physiological conditions, resulting in lysis of collagen deposits. Injection of XIAFLEX into a Dupuytren’s cord, which is comprised mostly of collagen, may result in enzymatic disruption of the cord. The signs and symptoms of Peyronie’s disease are caused by a collagen plaque. Injection of XIAFLEX into a Peyronie’s plaque, which is comprised mostly of collagen, may result in enzymatic disruption of the plaque. Following this disruption of the plaque, penile curvature deformity and patient bother caused by Peyronie’s disease are reduced [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. Results of in vitro studies, including those of explant tissues containing Peyronie’s plaques, suggest that XIAFLEX disrupts the predominant collagen found in plaques (Types I and III). At higher doses and longer incubation times, non-fibrillar Type IV collagen was affected causing collagen lysis in small veins, but did not cause structural damage to arteries, nerves or large veins which contain Type IV collagen in in vitro or in vivo studies. Results of in vitro studies suggest that the collagenases (AUX-I and AUX-II) worked synergistically to provide hydrolyzing activity towards collagen. However, there are no clinical data regarding the relative contributions of the individual collagenases (AUX-I or AUX-II) to the efficacy of XIAFLEX in the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture or Peyronie’s disease. Collagen fragments generated from clostridial collagenase have been shown to generate increased vascular permeability, inflammatory responses, and regenerative changes. However, the effects of the formation of the collagen fragments derived from the collagen plaque are unknown.

Patient information

See FDA-approved patient labeling ( Medication Guide ). 17.1 Patient Counseling for Dupuytren’s Contracture Advise patients of the following: Serious complications of XIAFLEX injection include tendon rupture, serious ligament damage, or skin laceration that may result in the inability to fully bend the finger and may require surgery to correct the complication. XIAFLEX injection is likely to result in swelling, bruising, bleeding, and/or pain of the injected site and surrounding tissue. After the XIAFLEX injections, instruct patients: Not to flex or extend the fingers of the injected hand to reduce extravasation of XIAFLEX out of the cord(s). Not to attempt to disrupt the injected cord(s) by self-manipulation. To elevate the injected hand until bedtime. To promptly contact their physician if there is evidence of infection (e.g., fever, chills, increasing redness or edema), sensory changes in the treated finger(s), trouble bending the finger(s) after the swelling goes down (symptoms of tendon rupture), or skin laceration. To return to their healthcare provider’s office 1 to 3 days after the injection visit for an examination of the injected hand and for possible finger extension procedure(s) to disrupt the cord. Following the finger extension procedure(s) and fitting patient with a splint, instruct patients: Not to perform strenuous activity with the injected hand until advised to do so. To wear the splint at bedtime for up to 4 months. To perform a series of finger flexion and extension exercises each day. 17.2 Patient Counseling for Peyronie’s Disease Advise patients of the following: Serious complications of XIAFLEX injection include corporal rupture, penile hematoma and skin and soft tissue necrosis related to penile hematoma, and these events may require surgery to correct the complication. Acute post-injection back pain reactions have been reported in patients treated with XIAFLEX. Back pain may be mild to severe and may radiate to the legs, chest and arms, may include spasms, and may make walking difficult. Events typically resolve within 15 minutes but may last longer. Patients should report post-injection back pain reactions to their healthcare provider. After the XIAFLEX injections, instruct the patient: That their penis may appear bruised and/or swollen That they may have mild-to-moderate penile pain that can be relieved by taking over-the-counter pain medications To promptly contact their physician if, at any time, they have severe pain or severe swelling of the penis, severe purple bruising and swelling of the penis, difficulty urinating or blood in the urine, or sudden loss of the ability to maintain an erection. These symptoms may be accompanied by a popping or cracking sound from the penis To return to their healthcare provider’s office when directed for further injection(s) and/or penile modeling procedure(s) To not have sex between the first and second injections of a treatment cycle To wait 4 weeks after the second injection of a treatment cycle before resuming sexual activity, provided pain and swelling have subsided To perform gentle, at home modeling activities, as recommended by their physician To refrain from using a vacuum erection device during treatment with XIAFLEX To avoid abdominal straining associated with situations, such as straining during bowel movements Provide the patient instructions on the appropriate technique to perform penile modeling activities at home, as described in “What You Need to Know About XIAFLEX Treatment for Peyronie's Disease: A Patient Guide” , and give the patient a copy.
