2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • For intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein. ( 2.1 ) • Intralipid Pharmacy Bulk Package is only indicated for use in pharmacy admixture program for the preparation of three-in-one or total nutrition admixtures (TNAs). ( 2.2 ) • Protect the admixed PN solution from light. ( 2.2 , 16 ) • Recommended dosage depends on age, energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, tolerance, ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids, and consideration of additional energy given to the patient. ( 2.3 ) Age Nutritional Requirements Initial Recommended Dosage Maximum Dosage Birth to 2 years of age (including preterm and term neonates) 0.5 g/kg/day 3 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age 1 to 2 g/kg/day 2.5 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age 1 g/kg/day 2 g/kg/day Adults 1 g/kg/day (stable) ≤1 g/kg/day (critically ill) 2.5 g/kg/day 2.1 Important Administration Instructions • Intralipid is prepared and administered by a healthcare provider in the inpatient setting. Patients and caregivers may prepare and administer Intralipid for home use after appropriate training by a trained healthcare provider. • Intralipid is for intravenous infusion into a central or peripheral vein. • Do not exceed the recommended maximum infusion rate in Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. • Intralipid admixtures with osmolarity o Greater than or equal to 900 mOsm/L must be infused through a central vein. o Less than 900 mOsm/L may be administered either through a central or peripheral vein. • Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter during administration. • Use a dedicated infusion line without any connections. Do not connect multiple medications in series. • To prevent air embolism, use a non-vented infusion set or close the vent on a vented set and fully evacuate residual gas in the bag prior to administration. • Do not pressurize the flexible bag to increase flow rates, and if administration is controlled by a pumping device, turn off the pump before the bag runs dry. • Do not use infusion sets and lines that contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), including infusion sets that contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components, because they contain DEHP as a plasticizer. • Intralipid can be infused concurrently into the same vein as dextrose-amino acid solutions (as part of PN) by a Y-connector located near the infusion site; flow rates of each solution should be controlled separately by infusion pumps. • After connecting the infusion set, start infusion of Intralipid immediately. Complete the infusion within 12 hours when using a Y-connector and within 24 hours when used as part of an admixture. 2.2 Preparation Instructions Use the following instructions to prepare single-dose 100 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL Flexible containers for administration: 1. Inspect Bag • Inspect the integrity indicator (Oxalert ® ) (A) before removing the overpouch. • Discard the product if the indicator is black, overpouch is opened or damaged, emulsion color is not white, or seals of bag are broken. 2. Remove Overpouch • Place the bag on a clean, flat surface. • Tear the overpouch at notch and pull down. • Discard the Oxalert sachet (A) and the oxygen absorber (B). • Visually inspect the bag and contents for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The lipid emulsion should be a homogenous liquid with a milky white appearance.

g on a clean, flat surface. • Tear the overpouch at notch and pull down. • Discard the Oxalert sachet (A) and the oxygen absorber (B). • Visually inspect the bag and contents for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The lipid emulsion should be a homogenous liquid with a milky white appearance. If the mixture is not white or the emulsion has separated (noted by discoloration, phase separation, or oily droplets), or if particulates and/or leakage are observed, discard the bag. 3. Spike Bag • Identify the infusion port ( blue cap with the arrow pointing away from the bag). • Immediately before inserting the infusion set, break off the blue infusion port cap. • Use infusion sets according to ISO Number 8536-4 with an external spike diameter of 5.5 to 5.7 mm and use a non-vented infusion set or close the air-inlet on a vented set. • Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter for administration. • Hold the base of the infusion port. • Insert the spike through the infusion port by rotating your wrist slightly until the spike is inserted. • Do not pierce the infusion port more than once. 4. Hang the bag • On the hanger cut and start infusion. • Discard unused portion. Intralipid 100 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL single-dose Flexible Containers • After removing the overpouch, infuse immediately. If not used immediately, the product should be stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no longer than 24 hours. After removal from storage, infuse within 12 hours when using a Y-connector and within 24 hours when used as part of an admixture. Intralipid 1,000 mL Pharmacy Bulk Package • For admixing use only and not for direct intravenous infusion . Prior to administration, transfer to a separate PN container for individual patient use. • Transfer the contents through the blue infusion port using a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set. Discard any unused contents. • Use the Pharmacy Bulk Package immediately for admixing after removal from the overpouch. If not used immediately, the product can be stored for no longer than 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). After removal from storage, and once the closure is penetrated, use Pharmacy Bulk Package contents within 4 hours. Admixing Instructions • Prepare the admixture in PN containers using strict aseptic techniques to avoid microbial contamination. • Do not add Intralipid to the PN container first; destabilization of the lipid may occur. The prime destabilizers of emulsions are excessive acidity (such as a pH <5) and inappropriate electrolyte content. Amino acid solutions exert buffering effects that protect the emulsion from destabilization. Give careful consideration to the addition of divalent cations (Ca++ and Mg++), which have been shown to cause emulsion instability. • Do not inject additives directly into Intralipid. • Intralipid may be mixed with amino acid and dextrose injections to produce “all-in-one” PN admixtures. The mixing sequence below must be followed for manual compounding to minimize pH-related problems by ensuring that typically acidic dextrose injections are not mixed with lipid emulsions alone; shake bags gently after each addition. o Transfer dextrose injection to the PN container. o Transfer amino acid injection. o Transfer Intralipid. • Simultaneous transfer of amino acid injection, dextrose injection, and Intralipid to the PN container is also permitted; follow automated compounding device instructions as indicated. Use gentle agitation during admixing to minimize localized concentration effects. • Additions to the PN admixtures should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Baxter Healthcare.

is also permitted; follow automated compounding device instructions as indicated. Use gentle agitation during admixing to minimize localized concentration effects. • Additions to the PN admixtures should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Baxter Healthcare. • Inspect the admixture to ensure that precipitates have not formed during preparation of the admixture and the emulsion has not separated. Discard the admixture if any of the above are observed. • Infuse admixtures containing Intralipid immediately. If not used immediately, store admixtures under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no longer than 24 hours. Infusion must be complete within 24 hours after removal from refrigeration. Discard any remaining admixture. • Protect the admixed PN solution from light. intra-img-01.jpg intra-img-02.jpg intra-img-03.jpg intra-img-04.jpg intra-img-05.jpg 2.3 Recommended Dosage and Administration • The recommended nutritional requirements of lipid and recommended dosages of Intralipid to be administered to meet those requirements for adults and pediatric patients are provided in Table 1 , along with recommendations for the initial and maximum infusion rates. • The dosing of Intralipid depends on the patient's individual energy requirements influenced by age, body weight, tolerance, clinical status, and the ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids. • When determining dose, energy supplied by dextrose and amino acids from PN, as well as energy from oral or enteral nutrition, has to be taken into account. Energy and lipid provided from lipid-based medications should also be taken into account (e.g., propofol). • Prior to administration of Intralipid, correct severe fluid and electrolyte disorders and measure serum triglyceride levels to establish a baseline value. In patients with elevated triglyceride levels, initiate Intralipid at a lower dosage and titrate in smaller increments, monitoring the triglyceride levels with each adjustment [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] . Table 1: Recommended Pediatric and Adult Dosage and Infusion Rate * The neonatal period is defined as including term, post-term, and preterm neonates. The neonatal period for term and post-term neonates is the day of birth plus 27 days. For preterm neonates, the neonatal period is defined as the day of birth through the expected age of delivery plus 27 days (i.e., 44 weeks post-menstrual age). ** Daily dosage should also not exceed a maximum of 60% of total energy requirements [see Overdosage ( 10 )].

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Risk of Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants: Acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions have been reported. ( 5.1 , 8.4 ) • Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease (PNALD): Increased risk in patients who receive PN for extended periods of time, especially preterm neonates. Monitor liver function tests; if abnormalities occur consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. ( 5.2 , 6.1 , 8.4 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for signs or symptoms. Discontinue infusion if reactions occur. ( 5.3 ) • Risk of Infections, Fat Overload Syndrome, Refeeding Syndrome, and Hypertriglyceridemia: Monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.4 , 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.7 ) • Aluminum Toxicity: Increased risk in patients with renal impairment, including preterm neonates. ( 5.8 , 8.4 ) 5.1 Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsions in Neonates and Infants In the postmarketing setting, serious adverse reactions including acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death have been reported in neonates and infants after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions. Hypertriglyceridemia was commonly reported. Strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.75 mL/kg/hour [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. Preterm and small for gestational age infants have poor clearance of intravenous lipid emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following lipid emulsion infusion. Carefully monitor the infant's ability to eliminate the infused lipids from the circulation (e.g., measure serum triglycerides and/or plasma free fatty acid levels). If signs or poor clearance of lipids from the circulation occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 , 5.7 ) and Overdosage ( 10 )]. 5.2 Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD), also referred to as intestinal failure- associated liver disease (IFALD), can present as cholestasis or hepatic steatosis, and may progress to steatohepatitis with fibrosis and cirrhosis (possibly leading to chronic hepatic failure). The etiology of PNALD is multifactorial; however, intravenously administered phytosterols (plant sterols) contained in plant-derived lipid emulsions, including Intralipid, have been associated with development of PNALD. In a randomized study of neonates and infants expected to be treated with PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Monitor liver tests in patients treated with Intralipid and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease. Monitor liver tests when administering Intralipid.

eated with Intralipid and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease. Monitor liver tests when administering Intralipid. Patients developing signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be assessed early to determine whether these conditions are related to Intralipid use. 5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions Intralipid contains soybean oil and egg phospholipids, which may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cross reactions have been observed between soybean and peanut. In postmarketing experience, anaphylaxis has been reported following Intralipid administration [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients in Intralipid [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, stop infusion of Intralipid immediately and initiate appropriate treatment and supportive measures. 5.4 Infections Parenteral nutrition, such as Intralipid, can support microbial growth and is an independent risk factor for the development of catheter-related bloodstream infections. To decrease the risk of infectious complications, ensure aseptic techniques are used for catheter placement, catheter maintenance, and preparation and administration of Intralipid. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection including fever and chills, as well as laboratory test results that might indicate infection (including leukocytosis and hyperglycemia). Perform frequent checks of the intravenous catheter insertion site for edema, redness, and discharge. 5.5 Fat Overload Syndrome Fat overload syndrome is a rare condition that has been reported with intravenous lipid injectable emulsions and is characterized by a sudden deterioration in the patient's condition (e.g., fever, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders, hyperlipidemia, hepatomegaly, deteriorating liver function, and central nervous system manifestations such as coma). A reduced or limited ability to metabolize lipids, accompanied by prolonged plasma clearance (resulting in higher lipid levels), may result in this syndrome. Although fat overload syndrome has been most frequently observed when the recommended lipid dose or infusion rate was exceeded, cases have also been described when the lipid formulation was administered according to instructions. If signs or symptoms of fat overload syndrome occur, stop the infusion of Intralipid. The syndrome is usually reversible when the infusion of the lipid emulsion is stopped. 5.6 Refeeding Syndrome Administering PN to severely malnourished patients may result in refeeding syndrome, which is characterized by the intracellular shift of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium as patients become anabolic. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also develop. To prevent these complications, closely monitor severely malnourished patients and slowly increase their nutrient intake. 5.7 Hypertriglyceridemia The use of Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with hypertriglyceridemia with serum triglyceride concentrations >1,000 mg/dL. Patients with conditions such as inherited lipid disorders, obesity, diabetes mellitus, or metabolic syndromes have a higher risk of developing hypertriglyceridemia with the use of Intralipid. In addition, patients with hypertriglyceridemia may have worsening of their hypertriglyceridemia with administration of Intralipid. Excessive dextrose administration may further increase such risk.

warnings_and_cautionsopenfda· Warnings and Cautions· item 1799694

iabetes mellitus, or metabolic syndromes have a higher risk of developing hypertriglyceridemia with the use of Intralipid. In addition, patients with hypertriglyceridemia may have worsening of their hypertriglyceridemia with administration of Intralipid. Excessive dextrose administration may further increase such risk. Evaluate patients' capacity to metabolize and eliminate the infused lipid emulsion by measuring serum triglycerides before the start of infusion (baseline value) and regularly throughout treatment. If triglyceride levels are above 400 mg/dL in adults, stop the Intralipid infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid clinical consequences of hypertriglyceridemia such as pancreatitis. In pediatric patients with hypertriglyceridemia, lower triglyceride levels (i.e., below 400 mg/dL) may be associated with adverse reactions. Monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid potential complications with hypertriglyceridemia such as pancreatitis, lipid pneumonitis, and neurologic changes, including kernicterus. To minimize the risk of new or worsening of hypertriglyceridemia, assess high-risk patients for their overall energy intake including other sources of lipids and dextrose, as well as concomitant drugs that may affect lipid and dextrose metabolism. 5.8 Aluminum Toxicity Intralipid contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. Prolonged PN administration in patients with renal impairment may result in aluminum reaching toxic levels. Preterm neonates are at greater risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions that contain aluminum. Patients with impaired kidney function, including preterm neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day can accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading in these patients may occur at even lower rates of administration. 5.9 Monitoring/Laboratory Tests Monitor fluid status closely in patients with pulmonary edema or heart failure. Throughout treatment, monitor serum triglycerides [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )], essential fatty acids, fluid and electrolyte status, serum osmolarity, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, blood count (including platelets), and coagulation parameters. The lipids contained in Intralipid may interfere with some laboratory tests (e.g., hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin, oxygen saturation) if blood is sampled before lipids have cleared from the bloodstream. Conduct these tests at least 6 hours after stopping the infusion. Intralipid contains vitamin K that may counteract anticoagulant activity [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] .

Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsions functioned as the comparator in trials of the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. The adverse reactions from these studies are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid. The safety database for Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion exposure in these studies includes 393 patients (230 adults; 163 pediatric) in 9 clinical trials. Adult patients were exposed for 5 days to 4 weeks in 5 clinical trials. Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion was used as a component of PN which also included dextrose, amino acids, vitamins, and trace elements. Two of the 5 studies in adults were performed with Intralipid as a component of PN delivered in a 3-chamber bag.

In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, PNAC, a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a comparator 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2 mg/dL with a second confirmed elevation >2 mg/dL at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) in Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days. The estimated cumulative incidence of PNAC is shown in the Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve in Figure 1 [see Pediatric Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Figure 1: Cumulative Incidence Curve of Time to Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis (PNAC) with Standard Error Bars intra-img-06.jpg 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions from voluntary reports have been reported with Intralipid. Because many of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Administration of the recommended dose of Intralipid is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. No animal reproduction studies have been conducted with Intralipid. There are risks to the fetus associated with severe malnutrition during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. 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. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk Severe malnutrition in pregnant women is associated with preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations, and perinatal mortality. Parenteral nutrition should be considered if the pregnant woman's nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary Administration of the recommended dose of Intralipid is not expected to cause harm to a breastfed infant. There are no data on the presence of Intralipid in human or animal milk or its effects on milk production. Available published literature includes fewer than five reported cases of breastfed infants exposed to various lipid emulsions via lactation, and these cases did not report adverse events. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Intralipid and any potential adverse effects of Intralipid on the breastfed infant, or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Intralipid is contraindicated in pediatric patients with severe disorders of lipid metabolism [ (see Contraindications ( 4 )]. The safety and effectiveness of Intralipid have been established as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for PN in pediatric patients, including term and preterm neonates. Use of Intralipid in neonates is supported by evidence from short-term (i.e., 1- to 4- week) studies, and one study following neonates beyond 4 weeks [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Use of Intralipid in older pediatric patients is supported by evidence from short-term (i.e., <28 days) studies in pediatric patients 28 days to 12 years of age and additional evidence from studies in adults [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . The most common adverse reactions in Intralipid-treated pediatric patients were anemia, vomiting, gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, and cholestasis. PNAC, a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a comparator 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. In the postmarketing setting, clinical decompensation with rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsion in neonates and infants, sometimes fatal, has been reported [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Because of immature renal function, preterm neonates receiving prolonged treatment with Intralipid may be at risk for aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] . 8.5 Geriatric Use Reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.

If medically appropriate, further intervention may be indicated. Lipids are not dialyzable from plasma.

descriptionopenfda· Description· item 1799694

11 DESCRIPTION Intralipid is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, white, homogenous lipid emulsion for intravenous infusion as a source of calories and essential fatty acids. The lipid content of Intralipid is 0.2 g/mL and comprises soybean oil. The phosphate content is 15 mmol/L. The total energy content, including fat, phospholipids, and glycerin is 2,000 kcal/L. Each 100 mL of Intralipid contains approximately 20 g soybean oil, 1.2 g egg yolk phospholipids, 2.25 g glycerin, water for injection, and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment (pH 6 to 8.9). Intralipid has an osmolality of approximately 350 mOsmol/kg water (which represents an osmolarity of 260 mOsmoL/L). The soybean oil is a refined natural product consisting of a mixture of neutral triglycerides of predominantly unsaturated fatty acids with the following structure: where are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid residues. The major component fatty acids in Intralipid are linoleic acid (44% to 62%), oleic acid (19% to 30%), palmitic acid (7% to 14%), alpha-linolenic acid (4% to 11%), and stearic acid (1.4% to 5.5%). These fatty acids have the following chemical and structural formulas: Purified egg phosphatides are a mixture of naturally occurring phospholipids which are isolated from the egg yolk. These phospholipids have the following general structure: contain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that abound in neutral fats. R 3 is primarily either the choline or ethanolamine ester of phosphoric acid. Glycerin is chemically designated C 3 H 8 O 3 and is a clear colorless, hygroscopic syrupy liquid. It has the following structural formula: The container-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional oxygen and moisture barrier when necessary. Intralipid contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. The container is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP. intra-struc-01.jpg intra-struc-02.jpg intra-struc-03.jpg intra-struc-04.jpg intra-struc-05.jpg intra-struc-06.jpg intra-struc-07.jpg

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Intralipid provides a biologically utilizable source of calories and essential fatty acids. Fatty acids serve as an important substrate for energy production. The most common mechanism of action for energy production derived from fatty acid metabolism is beta oxidation. Fatty acids are also important for membrane structure and function, as precursors for bioactive molecules (such as prostaglandins), and as regulators of gene expression. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamic effects of Intralipid have not been fully characterized. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Intralipid provides fatty acids in the form of triglycerides which are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase to release free fatty acids. Linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid are metabolized within a common biochemical pathway through a series of desaturation and elongation steps.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion functioned as the comparator for the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in the clinical studies described in sections 14.1 and 14.2. The trial results are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid. 14.1 Adult Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion was evaluated in 3 clinical studies in adult patients. Nutritional efficacy in adult studies was assessed by changes in anthropometric indices (body weight, height, and body mass index [BMI]), changes in lipid and protein metabolism (albumin), and fatty acid parameters. Of the 354 adult patients (178 Intralipid; 176 comparator), 62% were male, 99% were Caucasian, and ages ranged from 19 to 96 years. All patients received Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion or the comparator as part of a PN regimen. Although Adult Study 1, Adult Study 2, and Adult Study 3 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in adults. The lipid dosage was variable in these studies and adjusted to the patient's nutritional requirements. Adult Study 1 was a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study in patients who required PN for at least 28 days. Seventy-five patients were enrolled, and 73 patients were treated with either Intralipid or the comparator. Changes in mean triglyceride levels from baseline values to Week 4 were similar in both the Intralipid and comparator groups. Mean albumin levels demonstrated a comparable decrease in both groups. Mean changes in body weight (kg) and BMI (kg/m 2 ) were similar in both the Intralipid and the comparator groups. Adult Study 2 was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study. A total of 249 postoperative adult patients were randomized to receive either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator for at least 5 days as part of their total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimen. From baseline to Day 6, mean triglyceride levels increased similarly in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups. Adult Study 3 was a double-blind randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, single-center study in 32 adult patients who required TPN for 10 to 14 days. Patients were treated with either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator. The increase in mean triglyceride levels from baseline to the final assessment was similar in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups. 14.2 Pediatric Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in pediatric patients of all age groups, including term and preterm neonates, was evaluated in 333 patients in 4 randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group controlled clinical studies. Although Pediatric Studies 1, 2, 3, and 4 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in pediatric patients. The 333 pediatric patients (163 Intralipid; 170 comparator) consisted of 296 patients who were <28 days old, 22 patients 29 days to <2 years old, and 15 patients 2 to <12 years old.

ns between Intralipid and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in pediatric patients. The 333 pediatric patients (163 Intralipid; 170 comparator) consisted of 296 patients who were <28 days old, 22 patients 29 days to <2 years old, and 15 patients 2 to <12 years old. Fifty percent of the pediatric patients were male and 87% were Caucasian. All patients received Intralipid or the comparator as part of a PN regimen. Nutritional efficacy in neonates was assessed by changes in anthropometric indices (body weight, height, head circumference). Nutritional efficacy in pediatric patients, 28 days to 12 years of age, was assessed by changes in triglyceride concentrations and fatty acid parameters. Pediatric Study 1 enrolled 152 preterm and term neonates (birth up to 28 days) and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days. Patients were treated with either Intralipid (n=78) or the comparator (n=83). A total of 119 patients (58 Intralipid; 61 comparator) received study treatment for ≥14 days. A total of 27 patients received Intralipid for ≥29 days; 5 patients received Intralipid for the maximum study duration of 78-84 days. Pediatric Studies 2 and 3 enrolled 60 and 84 preterm neonates, respectively, who were treated with either Intralipid or the comparator (72 neonates in each group). The median treatment duration for Intralipid group was 9 days in Pediatric Study 2 and 6 days in Pediatric Study 3. Pediatric Study 4 enrolled 13 patients 5 months to <2 years of age and 15 patients 2 to 11.5 years of age. Patients were treated with either Intralipid (n=13) or the comparator (n=15) with a median treatment duration of 27 days. In Pediatric Studies 1, 2 and 3, which enrolled neonates, Intralipid-treated patients showed increases in the median body weight, height/length, and head circumference (which was measured in Studies 1 and 3) comparable to the comparator-treated patients. Mean triglyceride levels from baseline to the final assessment in Pediatric Studies 1, 2, and 3 were variable in these neonates, but overall differences between groups were not considered clinically relevant. Mean triglyceride levels in Pediatric Study 4 were variable but remained within the normal range.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION When initiating Intralipid administration, discuss the following information with the patient or caregiver: Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants Inform caregivers that acute respiratory distress and death may occur in neonates and infants after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions. If Intralipid is infused at home, instruct caregivers not to exceed the maximum infusion rate [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Inform patients and caregivers that use of parenteral nutrition may result in parenteral nutrition- associated liver disease and/or other hepatobiliary disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. Hypersensitivity Reactions Inform patients and caregivers that Intralipid may cause hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. If Intralipid is infused at home, instruct patients or caregivers to stop the infusion of Intralipid immediately and seek medical attention if they experience signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction, such as rapid or weak heartbeat, feeling faint, difficulty in breathing or swallowing, vomiting, nausea, headache, sweating, dizziness, hives, rash, itching, flushing, dizziness, fever, or chills [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. Infections Inform patients and caregivers that patients who receive Intralipid are at risk of infection. If Intralipid is infused at home, instruct patients or caregivers to ensure aseptic techniques are used for the preparation and administration of Intralipid and to monitor for signs and symptoms of infection [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Fat Overload Syndrome Inform patients and caregivers that fat overload syndrome has been reported with the use of intravenous lipid emulsions. If Intralipid is infused at home, instruct patients or caregivers to stop the infusion of Intralipid if signs or symptoms of fat overload syndrome occur [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . Refeeding Syndrome If the patient is severely malnourished, inform patients and caregivers that administering parenteral nutrition including Intralipid may result in refeeding syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] . Hypertriglyceridemia Inform patients and their caregivers about the risks of hypertriglyceridemia with Intralipid use [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] .

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein. ( 2.1 ) Intralipid Pharmacy Bulk Package is only indicated for use in pharmacy admixture program for the preparation of three-in-one or total nutrition admixtures (TNAs). ( 2.2 ) Protect the admixed PN solution from light. ( 2.2 , 16 ) Recommended dosage depends on age, energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, tolerance, ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids, and consideration of additional energy given to the patient. ( 2.3 ) Age Nutritional Requirements Initial Recommended Dosage Maximum Dosage Birth to 2 years of age (including preterm and term neonates) 0.5 g/kg/day 3 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age 1 to 2 g/kg/day 2.5 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age 1 g/kg/day 2 g/kg/day Adults 1 g/kg/day (stable) ≤1 g/kg/day (critically ill) 2.5 g/kg/day 2.1 Important Administration Instructions Intralipid is prepared and administered by a healthcare provider in the inpatient setting. Patients and caregivers may prepare and administer Intralipid for home use after appropriate training by a trained healthcare provider. Intralipid is for intravenous infusion into a central or peripheral vein. Do not exceed the recommended maximum infusion rate in Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Intralipid admixtures with osmolarity Greater than or equal to 900 mOsm/L must be infused through a central vein. Less than 900 mOsm/L may be administered either through a central or peripheral vein. Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter during administration. Use a dedicated infusion line without any connections. Do not connect multiple medications in series. To prevent air embolism, use a non-vented infusion set or close the vent on a vented set and fully evacuate residual gas in the bag prior to administration. Do not pressurize the flexible bag to increase flow rates, and if administration is controlled by a pumping device, turn off the pump before the bag runs dry. Do not use infusion sets and lines that contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), including infusion sets that contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components, because they contain DEHP as a plasticizer. Intralipid can be infused concurrently into the same vein as dextrose-amino acid solutions (as part of PN) by a Y-connector located near the infusion site; flow rates of each solution should be controlled separately by infusion pumps. After connecting the infusion set, start infusion of Intralipid immediately. Complete the infusion within 12 hours when using a Y-connector and within 24 hours when used as part of an admixture. 2.2 Preparation Instructions Use the following instructions to prepare single-dose 100 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL Flexible containers for administration: 1. Inspect Bag Inspect the integrity indicator (Oxalert ® ) (A) before removing the overpouch. Discard the product if the indicator is black, overpouch is opened or damaged, emulsion color is not white, or seals of bag are broken. 2. Remove Overpouch Place the bag on a clean, flat surface. Tear the overpouch at notch and pull down. Discard the Oxalert sachet (A) and the oxygen absorber (B). Visually inspect the bag and contents for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The lipid emulsion should be a homogenous liquid with a milky white appearance.

the bag on a clean, flat surface. Tear the overpouch at notch and pull down. Discard the Oxalert sachet (A) and the oxygen absorber (B). Visually inspect the bag and contents for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The lipid emulsion should be a homogenous liquid with a milky white appearance. If the mixture is not white or the emulsion has separated (noted by discoloration, phase separation, or oily droplets), or if particulates and/or leakage are observed, discard the bag. 3. Spike Bag Identify the infusion port ( blue cap with the arrow pointing away from the bag). Immediately before inserting the infusion set, break off the blue infusion port cap. Use infusion sets according to ISO Number 8536-4 with an external spike diameter of 5.5 to 5.7 mm and use a non-vented infusion set or close the air-inlet on a vented set. Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter for administration. Hold the base of the infusion port. Insert the spike through the infusion port by rotating your wrist slightly until the spike is inserted. Do not pierce the infusion port more than once. 4. Hang the bag On the hanger cut and start infusion. Discard unused portion. Intralipid 100 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL single-dose Flexible Containers After removing the overpouch, infuse immediately. If not used immediately, the product should be stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no longer than 24 hours. After removal from storage, infuse within 12 hours when using a Y-connector and within 24 hours when used as part of an admixture. Intralipid 1,000 mL Pharmacy Bulk Package For admixing use only and not for direct intravenous infusion . Prior to administration, transfer to a separate PN container for individual patient use. Transfer the contents through the blue infusion port using a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set. Discard any unused contents. Use the Pharmacy Bulk Package immediately for admixing after removal from the overpouch. If not used immediately, the product can be stored for no longer than 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). After removal from storage, and once the closure is penetrated, use Pharmacy Bulk Package contents within 4 hours. Admixing Instructions Prepare the admixture in PN containers using strict aseptic techniques to avoid microbial contamination. Do not add Intralipid to the PN container first; destabilization of the lipid may occur. The prime destabilizers of emulsions are excessive acidity (such as a pH <5) and inappropriate electrolyte content. Amino acid solutions exert buffering effects that protect the emulsion from destabilization. Give careful consideration to the addition of divalent cations (Ca++ and Mg++), which have been shown to cause emulsion instability. Do not inject additives directly into Intralipid. Intralipid may be mixed with amino acid and dextrose injections to produce “all-in-one” PN admixtures. The mixing sequence below must be followed for manual compounding to minimize pH-related problems by ensuring that typically acidic dextrose injections are not mixed with lipid emulsions alone; shake bags gently after each addition. Transfer dextrose injection to the PN container. Transfer amino acid injection. Transfer Intralipid. Simultaneous transfer of amino acid injection, dextrose injection, and Intralipid to the PN container is also permitted; follow automated compounding device instructions as indicated. Use gentle agitation during admixing to minimize localized concentration effects. Additions to the PN admixtures should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Baxter Healthcare. Inspect the admixture to ensure that precipitates have not formed during preparation of the admixture and the emulsion has not separated.

lized concentration effects. Additions to the PN admixtures should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Baxter Healthcare. Inspect the admixture to ensure that precipitates have not formed during preparation of the admixture and the emulsion has not separated. Discard the admixture if any of the above are observed. Infuse admixtures containing Intralipid immediately. If not used immediately, store admixtures under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no longer than 24 hours. Infusion must be complete within 24 hours after removal from refrigeration. Discard any remaining admixture. Protect the admixed PN solution from light. intra-img-01.jpg intra-img-02.jpg intra-img-03.jpg intra-img-04.jpg intra-img-05.jpg 2.3 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended nutritional requirements of lipid and recommended dosages of Intralipid to be administered to meet those requirements for adults and pediatric patients are provided in Table 1 , along with recommendations for the initial and maximum infusion rates. The dosing of Intralipid depends on the patient's individual energy requirements influenced by age, body weight, tolerance, clinical status, and the ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids. When determining dose, energy supplied by dextrose and amino acids from PN, as well as energy from oral or enteral nutrition, has to be taken into account. Energy and lipid provided from lipid-based medications should also be taken into account (e.g., propofol). Prior to administration of Intralipid, correct severe fluid and electrolyte disorders and measure serum triglyceride levels to establish a baseline value. In patients with elevated triglyceride levels, initiate Intralipid at a lower dosage and titrate in smaller increments, monitoring the triglyceride levels with each adjustment [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] . Table 1: Recommended Pediatric and Adult Dosage and Infusion Rate * The neonatal period is defined as including term, post-term, and preterm neonates. The neonatal period for term and post-term neonates is the day of birth plus 27 days. For preterm neonates, the neonatal period is defined as the day of birth through the expected age of delivery plus 27 days (i.e., 44 weeks post-menstrual age). ** Daily dosage should also not exceed a maximum of 60% of total energy requirements [see Overdosage ( 10 )]. Age Nutritional Requirements Direct Infusion Rate Recommended Initial Dosage and Maximum Dosage Initial Maximum Birth to 2 years of age (including preterm and term neonates*) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Initial 0.5 g/kg/day not to exceed 3 g/kg/day** 0.1 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 15 minutes 0.75 mL/kg/hour Pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age Initial 1 to 2 g/kg/day not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day*** 0.2 to 0.4 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 15 minutes 0.75 mL/kg/hour Pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age Initial 1 g/kg/day not to exceed 2 g/kg/day** 0.2 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 15 minutes 0.75 mL/kg/hour Adults 1 g/kg/day in stable patients ≤1 g/kg/day in critically ill patients not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day; not more than 500 mL of Intralipid should be infused on the first day of therapy** 0.2 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 30 minutes 0.5 mL/kg/hour Dosage Modifications in Patients with Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency When Intralipid is administered to correct essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD), supply 8% to 10% of caloric input from Intralipid in order to provide adequate amounts of linoleic and linolenic acids.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants: Acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions have been reported. ( 5.1 , 8.4 ) Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease (PNALD): Increased risk in patients who receive PN for extended periods of time, especially preterm neonates. Monitor liver function tests; if abnormalities occur consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. ( 5.2 , 6.1 , 8.4 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for signs or symptoms. Discontinue infusion if reactions occur. ( 5.3 ) Risk of Infections, Fat Overload Syndrome, Refeeding Syndrome, and Hypertriglyceridemia: Monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.4 , 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.7 ) Aluminum Toxicity: Increased risk in patients with renal impairment, including preterm neonates. ( 5.8 , 8.4 ) 5.1 Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsions in Neonates and Infants In the postmarketing setting, serious adverse reactions including acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death have been reported in neonates and infants after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions. Hypertriglyceridemia was commonly reported. Strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.75 mL/kg/hour [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )]. Preterm and small for gestational age infants have poor clearance of intravenous lipid emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following lipid emulsion infusion. Carefully monitor the infant's ability to eliminate the infused lipids from the circulation (e.g., measure serum triglycerides and/or plasma free fatty acid levels). If signs or poor clearance of lipids from the circulation occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 , 5.7 ) and Overdosage ( 10 )]. 5.2 Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD), also referred to as intestinal failure- associated liver disease (IFALD), can present as cholestasis or hepatic steatosis, and may progress to steatohepatitis with fibrosis and cirrhosis (possibly leading to chronic hepatic failure). The etiology of PNALD is multifactorial; however, intravenously administered phytosterols (plant sterols) contained in plant-derived lipid emulsions, including Intralipid, have been associated with development of PNALD. In a randomized study of neonates and infants expected to be treated with PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Monitor liver tests in patients treated with Intralipid and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease. Monitor liver tests when administering Intralipid.

Most common adverse drug reactions (≥5%) from clinical trials in pediatric patients were anemia, vomiting, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, and cholestasis. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC at 1-800-551-7176 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsions functioned as the comparator in trials of the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. The adverse reactions from these studies are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid. The safety database for Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion exposure in these studies includes 393 patients (230 adults; 163 pediatric) in 9 clinical trials. Adult patients were exposed for 5 days to 4 weeks in 5 clinical trials. Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion was used as a component of PN which also included dextrose, amino acids, vitamins, and trace elements. Two of the 5 studies in adults were performed with Intralipid as a component of PN delivered in a 3-chamber bag.

In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, PNAC, a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a comparator 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2 mg/dL with a second confirmed elevation >2 mg/dL at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) in Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days. The estimated cumulative incidence of PNAC is shown in the Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve in Figure 1 [see Pediatric Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] .

lized concentration effects. Additions to the PN admixtures should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Baxter Healthcare. Inspect the admixture to ensure that precipitates have not formed during preparation of the admixture and the emulsion has not separated. Discard the admixture if any of the above are observed. Infuse admixtures containing Intralipid immediately. If not used immediately, store admixtures under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no longer than 24 hours. Infusion must be complete within 24 hours after removal from refrigeration. Discard any remaining admixture. Protect the admixed PN solution from light. Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure 2.3 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended nutritional requirements of lipid and recommended dosages of Intralipid to be administered to meet those requirements for adults and pediatric patients are provided in Table 1 , along with recommendations for the initial and maximum infusion rates. The dosing of Intralipid depends on the patient's individual energy requirements influenced by age, body weight, tolerance, clinical status, and the ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids. When determining dose, energy supplied by dextrose and amino acids from PN, as well as energy from oral or enteral nutrition, has to be taken into account. Energy and lipid provided from lipid-based medications should also be taken into account (e.g., propofol). Prior to administration of Intralipid, correct severe fluid and electrolyte disorders and measure serum triglyceride levels to establish a baseline value. In patients with elevated triglyceride levels, initiate Intralipid at a lower dosage and titrate in smaller increments, monitoring the triglyceride levels with each adjustment [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] . Table 1: Recommended Pediatric and Adult Dosage and Infusion Rate * The neonatal period is defined as including term, post-term, and preterm neonates. The neonatal period for term and post-term neonates is the day of birth plus 27 days. For preterm neonates, the neonatal period is defined as the day of birth through the expected age of delivery plus 27 days (i.e., 44 weeks post-menstrual age). ** Daily dosage should also not exceed a maximum of 60% of total energy requirements [see Overdosage ( 10 )]. Age Nutritional Requirements Direct Infusion Rate Recommended Initial Dosage and Maximum Dosage Initial Maximum Birth to 2 years of age (including preterm and term neonates*) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Initial 0.5 g/kg/day not to exceed 3 g/kg/day** 0.1 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 15 minutes 0.75 mL/kg/hour Pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age Initial 1 to 2 g/kg/day not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day*** 0.2 to 0.4 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 15 minutes 0.75 mL/kg/hour Pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age Initial 1 g/kg/day not to exceed 2 g/kg/day** 0.2 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 15 minutes 0.75 mL/kg/hour Adults 1 g/kg/day in stable patients ≤1 g/kg/day in critically ill patients not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day; not more than 500 mL of Intralipid should be infused on the first day of therapy** 0.2 mL/kg/hour for the first 10 to 15 minutes; gradually increase to the required rate after 30 minutes 0.5 mL/kg/hour Dosage Modifications in Patients with Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency When Intralipid is administered to correct essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD), supply 8% to 10% of caloric input from Intralipid in order to provide adequate amounts of linoleic and linolenic acids.

eated with Intralipid and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease. Monitor liver tests when administering Intralipid. Patients developing signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be assessed early to determine whether these conditions are related to Intralipid use. 5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions Intralipid contains soybean oil and egg phospholipids, which may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cross reactions have been observed between soybean and peanut. Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients in Intralipid. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, stop infusion of Intralipid immediately and initiate appropriate treatment and supportive measures. 5.4 Infections Parenteral nutrition, such as Intralipid, can support microbial growth and is an independent risk factor for the development of catheter-related bloodstream infections. To decrease the risk of infectious complications, ensure aseptic techniques are used for catheter placement, catheter maintenance, and preparation and administration of Intralipid. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection including fever and chills, as well as laboratory test results that might indicate infection (including leukocytosis and hyperglycemia). Perform frequent checks of the intravenous catheter insertion site for edema, redness, and discharge. 5.5 Fat Overload Syndrome Fat overload syndrome is a rare condition that has been reported with intravenous lipid injectable emulsions and is characterized by a sudden deterioration in the patient's condition (e.g., fever, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders, hyperlipidemia, hepatomegaly, deteriorating liver function, and central nervous system manifestations such as coma). A reduced or limited ability to metabolize lipids, accompanied by prolonged plasma clearance (resulting in higher lipid levels), may result in this syndrome. Although fat overload syndrome has been most frequently observed when the recommended lipid dose or infusion rate was exceeded, cases have also been described when the lipid formulation was administered according to instructions. If signs or symptoms of fat overload syndrome occur, stop the infusion of Intralipid. The syndrome is usually reversible when the infusion of the lipid emulsion is stopped. 5.6 Refeeding Syndrome Administering PN to severely malnourished patients may result in refeeding syndrome, which is characterized by the intracellular shift of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium as patients become anabolic. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also develop. To prevent these complications, closely monitor severely malnourished patients and slowly increase their nutrient intake. 5.7 Hypertriglyceridemia The use of Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with hypertriglyceridemia with serum triglyceride concentrations >1,000 mg/dL. Patients with conditions such as inherited lipid disorders, obesity, diabetes mellitus, or metabolic syndromes have a higher risk of developing hypertriglyceridemia with the use of Intralipid. In addition, patients with hypertriglyceridemia may have worsening of their hypertriglyceridemia with administration of Intralipid. Excessive dextrose administration may further increase such risk. Evaluate patients' capacity to metabolize and eliminate the infused lipid emulsion by measuring serum triglycerides before the start of infusion (baseline value) and regularly throughout treatment.

warnings_and_cautionsopenfda· Warnings and Cautions· item 1799724

hypertriglyceridemia with administration of Intralipid. Excessive dextrose administration may further increase such risk. Evaluate patients' capacity to metabolize and eliminate the infused lipid emulsion by measuring serum triglycerides before the start of infusion (baseline value) and regularly throughout treatment. If triglyceride levels are above 400 mg/dL in adults, stop the Intralipid infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid clinical consequences of hypertriglyceridemia such as pancreatitis. In pediatric patients with hypertriglyceridemia, lower triglyceride levels (i.e., below 400 mg/dL) may be associated with adverse reactions. Monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid potential complications with hypertriglyceridemia such as pancreatitis, lipid pneumonitis, and neurologic changes, including kernicterus. To minimize the risk of new or worsening of hypertriglyceridemia, assess high-risk patients for their overall energy intake including other sources of lipids and dextrose, as well as concomitant drugs that may affect lipid and dextrose metabolism. 5.8 Aluminum Toxicity Intralipid contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. Prolonged PN administration in patients with renal impairment may result in aluminum reaching toxic levels. Preterm neonates are at greater risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions that contain aluminum. Patients with impaired kidney function, including preterm neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day can accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading in these patients may occur at even lower rates of administration. 5.9 Monitoring/Laboratory Tests Monitor fluid status closely in patients with pulmonary edema or heart failure. Throughout treatment, monitor serum triglycerides [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )], essential fatty acids, fluid and electrolyte status, serum osmolarity, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, blood count (including platelets), and coagulation parameters. The lipids contained in Intralipid may interfere with some laboratory tests (e.g., hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin, oxygen saturation) if blood is sampled before lipids have cleared from the bloodstream. Conduct these tests at least 6 hours after stopping the infusion. Intralipid contains vitamin K that may counteract anticoagulant activity [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] .

bophlebitis. The 163 patients treated with Intralipid in four pediatric trials consisted of 147 patients <28 days of age, 9 patients 28 days to <2 years of age, and 7 patients 2 to 7 years of age; the duration of exposure was 7 to 84 days. Fifty-six percent of the pediatric patients were female, and 85% were Caucasian. Most pediatric patients were preterm neonates with feeding intolerance or other conditions requiring short-term (<29 days) PN.

In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, PNAC, a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a comparator 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2 mg/dL with a second confirmed elevation >2 mg/dL at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) in Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days. The estimated cumulative incidence of PNAC is shown in the Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve in Figure 1 [see Pediatric Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Figure 1: Cumulative Incidence Curve of Time to Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis (PNAC) with Standard Error Bars Figure 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions from voluntary reports have been reported with Intralipid. Because many of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Cardiac disorders: palpitations Gastrointestinal disorders: vomiting, nausea General disorders and administration site conditions: chills, chest discomfort, pyrexia Nervous system disorders: dizziness Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders : dyspnea Immune system disorders: hypersensitivity Vascular disorders : phlebitis Blood and lymphatic system disorders: hypercoagulability

11 DESCRIPTION Intralipid is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, white, homogenous lipid emulsion for intravenous infusion as a source of calories and essential fatty acids. The lipid content of Intralipid is 0.2 g/mL and comprises soybean oil. The phosphate content is 15 mmol/L. The total energy content, including fat, phospholipids, and glycerin is 2,000 kcal/L. Each 100 mL of Intralipid contains approximately 20 g soybean oil, 1.2 g egg yolk phospholipids, 2.25 g glycerin, water for injection, and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment (pH 6 to 8.9). Intralipid has an osmolality of approximately 350 mOsmol/kg water (which represents an osmolarity of 260 mOsmoL/L). The soybean oil is a refined natural product consisting of a mixture of neutral triglycerides of predominantly unsaturated fatty acids with the following structure: where are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid residues. The major component fatty acids in Intralipid are linoleic acid (44% to 62%), oleic acid (19% to 30%), palmitic acid (7% to 14%), alpha-linolenic acid (4% to 11%), and stearic acid (1.4% to 5.5%). These fatty acids have the following chemical and structural formulas: Purified egg phosphatides are a mixture of naturally occurring phospholipids which are isolated from the egg yolk. These phospholipids have the following general structure: contain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that abound in neutral fats. R 3 is primarily either the choline or ethanolamine ester of phosphoric acid. Glycerin is chemically designated C 3 H 8 O 3 and is a clear colorless, hygroscopic syrupy liquid. It has the following structural formula: The container-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional oxygen and moisture barrier when necessary. Intralipid contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. The container is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP. Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure Figure

14 CLINICAL STUDIES Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion functioned as the comparator for the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in the clinical studies described in sections 14.1 and 14.2. The trial results are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid. 14.1 Adult Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion was evaluated in 3 clinical studies in adult patients. Nutritional efficacy in adult studies was assessed by changes in anthropometric indices (body weight, height, and body mass index [BMI]), changes in lipid and protein metabolism (albumin), and fatty acid parameters. Of the 354 adult patients (178 Intralipid; 176 comparator), 62% were male, 99% were Caucasian, and ages ranged from 19 to 96 years. All patients received Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion or the comparator as part of a PN regimen. Although Adult Study 1, Adult Study 2, and Adult Study 3 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in adults. The lipid dosage was variable in these studies and adjusted to the patient's nutritional requirements. Adult Study 1 was a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study in patients who required PN for at least 28 days. Seventy-five patients were enrolled, and 73 patients were treated with either Intralipid or the comparator. Changes in mean triglyceride levels from baseline values to Week 4 were similar in both the Intralipid and comparator groups. Mean albumin levels demonstrated a comparable decrease in both groups. Mean changes in body weight (kg) and BMI (kg/m2) were similar in both the Intralipid and the comparator groups. Adult Study 2 was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study. A total of 249 postoperative adult patients were randomized to receive either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator for at least 5 days as part of their total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimen. From baseline to Day 6, mean triglyceride levels increased similarly in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups. Adult Study 3 was a double-blind randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, single-center study in 32 adult patients who required TPN for 10 to 14 days. Patients were treated with either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator. The increase in mean triglyceride levels from baseline to the final assessment was similar in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups. 14.2 Pediatric Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in pediatric patients of all age groups, including term and preterm neonates, was evaluated in 333 patients in 4 randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group controlled clinical studies. Although Pediatric Studies 1, 2, 3, and 4 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in pediatric patients. The 333 pediatric patients (163 Intralipid; 170 comparator) consisted of 296 patients who were <28 days old, 22 patients 29 days to <2 years old, and 15 patients 2 to <12 years old.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Intralipid 10% is metabolized and utilized as a source of energy causing an increase in heat production, decrease in respiratory quotient and increase in oxygen consumption. The infused fat particles are cleared from the blood stream in a manner thought to be comparable to the clearing of chylomicrons. Intralipid 10% will prevent the biochemical lesions of essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) and correct the clinical manifestations of the EFAD syndrome.

boxed_warningopenfda· Boxed Warning· item 1859375

WARNINGS Deaths in preterm infants after infusion of intravenous fat emulsion have been reported in the medical literature 2 . Autopsy findings included intravascular fat accumulation in the lungs. Treatment of premature and low birth weight infants with intravenous fat emulsion must be based upon careful benefit-risk assessment. Strict adherence to the recommended total daily dose is mandatory; hourly infusion rate should be as slow as possible in each case and should not in any case exceed 1 g fat/kg in four hours. Premature and small for gestational age infants have poor clearance of intravenous fat emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following fat emulsion infusion; therefore, serious consideration must be given to administration of less than the maximum recommended doses in these patients in order to decrease the likelihood of intravenous fat overload. The infant's ability to eliminate the infused fat from the circulation must be carefully monitored (such as serum triglycerides and/or plasma free fatty acid levels). The lipemia must clear between daily infusions.

Caution should be exercised in administering of Intralipid 10% (A 10% Intravenous Fat Emulsion) to patients with severe liver damage, pulmonary disease, anemia or blood coagulation disorders, or when there is danger of fat embolism. Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD), also referred to as intestinal failure- associated liver disease (IFALD), can present as cholestasis or hepatic steatosis, and may progress to steatohepatitis with fibrosis and cirrhosis (possibly leading to chronic hepatic failure). The etiology of PNALD is multifactorial; however, intravenously administered phytosterols (plant sterols) contained in plant-derived lipid emulsions, including Intralipid, have been associated with development of PNALD. In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2mg/dl with a second confirmed elevation >2mg/dl at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) in Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days. The estimated cumulative incidence of PNAC is shown in the Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve in Figure 1 . Figure 1: Cumulative Incidence Curve of Time to Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis (PNAC) with Standard Error Bars Monitor liver tests in patients treated with Intralipid and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease. Monitor liver tests when administering Intralipid. Patients developing signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be assessed early to determine whether these conditions are related to Intralipid use. Figure Aluminum Toxicity This product contains aluminum that may be toxic. Aluminum may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which contain aluminum. Research indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration.

esearch indicates that patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration. MIXING GUIDELINES AND LIMITATIONS Intralipid 10% (A 10% I.V. Fat Emulsion) may be mixed with Amino Acid and Dextrose Injections where compatibility have been demonstrated. Additives known to be incompatible should not be used. Please consult with pharmacist. If, in the informed judgment of the physician, it is deemed advisable to introduce additives, use aseptic technique. Mix thoroughly when additives have been introduced. Do not store solutions containing additives (e.g., Vitamins and Minerals). Protect the admixed PN solution from light. When being mixed the following proper mixing sequence must be followed to minimize pH related problems by ensuring that typically acidic Dextrose Injections are not mixed with lipid emulsions alone: Transfer Dextrose Injection to the TPN Admixture Container Transfer Amino Acid Injection Transfer Intralipid 10% (A 10% Intravenous Fat Emulsion) Note: Amino Acid Injection, Dextrose Injection and Intralipid 10% may be simultaneously transferred to the admixture container. Admixing should be accompanied by gentle agitation to avoid localized concentration effects. Additives must not be added directly to Intralipid 10% and in no case should Intralipid 10% be added to the TPN container first. Bags should be shaken gently after each addition to minimize localized concentration. If the admixture is not used immediately, the in-use storage time and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and should normally not be longer than 24 hours at 2-8°C. After removal from storage at 2-8°C, the admixture should be infused within 24 hours. It is essential that the admixture be prepared using strict aseptic techniques as this nutrient mixture is a good growth medium for microorganisms. Supplemental electrolytes, trace metals or multivitamins may be required in accordance with the prescription of the attending physician. The prime destabilizers of emulsions are excessive acidity (low pH) and inappropriate electrolyte content. Careful consideration should be given to additions of divalent cations (Ca ++ and Mg ++ ) which have been shown to cause emulsion instability. Amino acid solutions exert a buffering effect protecting the emulsion. The admixture should be inspected carefully for “breaking or oiling out” of the emulsion. “Breaking or oiling out” is described as the separation of the emulsion and can be visibly identified by a yellowish streaking or the accumulation of yellowish droplets in the admixed emulsion. The admixture should also be examined for particulates. The admixture must be discarded if any of the above is observed.

precautionsopenfda· Precautions· item 1859375

PRECAUTIONS When Intralipid 10% is administered, the patient's capacity to eliminate the infused fat from the circulation must be monitored by use of an appropriate laboratory determination of serum triglycerides. Overdosage must be avoided. During intravenous administration with Intralipid 10%, perform liver tests to monitor for PNALD. If patients develop liver test abnormalities, consider discontinuation of Intralipid or dosage reduction. (See WARNINGS section) Frequent platelet counts should be done in neonatal patients receiving parenteral nutrition with Intralipid 10%. Drug product contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: Studies with Intralipid have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential, mutagenic potential, or effects on fertility. Pregnancy: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Intralipid. It is also not known whether Intralipid can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Intralipid should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Nursing Mothers: Caution should be exercised when Intralipid is administered to a nursing woman. Pediatric Use: See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION .

ADVERSE REACTIONS The adverse reactions observed can be separated into two classes: Those more frequently encountered are due: either to contamination of the intravenous catheter and result in sepsis, or to vein irritation by concurrently infused hypertonic solutions and may result in thrombophlebitis. These adverse reactions are inseparable from the hyperalimentation procedure with or without Intralipid 10% (A 10% I.V. Fat Emulsion). Less frequent reactions more directly related to Intralipid 10% are: a) immediate or early adverse reactions, each of which has been reported to occur in clinical trials, in an incidence of less than 1%; dyspnea, cyanosis, allergic reactions, hyperlipemia, hypercoagulability, nausea, vomiting, headache, flushing, increase in temperature, sweating, sleepiness, pain in the chest and back, slight pressure over the eyes, dizziness, and irritation at the site of infusion, and, rarely, thrombocytopenia in neonates; b) delayed adverse reactions such as hepatomegaly, jaundice due to central lobular cholestasis, splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, transient increases in liver tests, and overloading syndrome (focal seizures, fever, leukocytosis, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and shock). The deposition of a brown pigmentation in the reticuloendothelial system, the so-called “intravenous fat pigment,” has been reported in patients infused with Intralipid 10%. The causes and significance of this phenomenon are unknown.

overdosageopenfda· Overdosage· item 1859375

OVERDOSAGE In the event of fat overload during therapy, stop the infusion of Intralipid 10% until visual inspection of the plasma, determination of triglyceride concentrations, or measurement of plasma light-scattering activity by nephelometry indicates the lipid has cleared. Re- evaluate the patient and institute appropriate corrective measures. See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS .

dosage_and_administrationopenfda· Dosage and Administration· item 1859375

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Intralipid 10% should be administered as a part of Intravenous nutrition via peripheral vein or by central venous infusion. Adult Patients The initial rate of infusion in adults should be 1 mL/minute for the first 15 to 30 minutes of infusion. If no untoward reactions occur (see ADVERSE REACTIONS section), the infusion rate can be increased to 2 mL/minute. Not more than 500 mL of Intralipid 10% (A 10% I.V. Fat Emulsion) should be infused into adults on the first day of therapy. If the patient has no untoward reactions, the dose can be increased on the following day. The daily dosage should not exceed 2.5 g of fat/kg of body weight (25 mL of Intralipid 10% per kg). Intralipid 10% should make up no more than 60% of the total caloric input to the patient. Maximum infusion rate should not exceed 0.1 g/kg/hr. Carbohydrate and a source of amino acids should comprise the remaining caloric input. Pediatric Patients The dosage for premature infants starts at 0.5 g fat/kg body weight/24 hours (5 mL Intralipid 10%) and may be increased in relation to the infant's ability to eliminate fat. The maximum recommended dosage is 3 g fat/kg/24 hours. Pediatric patients may be at risk for parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD), also known as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (see WARNINGS section) when receiving Intralipid for durations exceeding two weeks. During intravenous administration of Intralipid 10%, perform liver tests to monitor for PNALD. The initial rate of infusion in older pediatric patients should be no more than 0.1 mL/minute for the first 10 to 15 minutes. If no untoward reactions occur, the rate can be changed to permit infusion of 1 mL of Intralipid 10%/kg/hour (equivalent to 0.1 g/kg/hour). The daily dosage should not exceed 3 g of fat/kg of body weight 3 . Intralipid 10% (equivalent to 0.125 g/kg/hour) should make up no more than 60% of the total caloric input to the patient. Carbohydrate and a source of amino acids should comprise the remaining caloric input. Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency When Intralipid 10% (A 10% I.V. Fat Emulsion) is administered to correct essential fatty acid deficiency, eight to ten percent of the caloric input should be supplied by Intralipid 10% in order to provide adequate amounts of linoleic and linolenic acids. When EFAD occurs together with stress, the amount of Intralipid 10% needed to correct the deficiency may be increased. Administration See MIXING GUIDELINES AND LIMITATIONS section for information regarding mixing this fat emulsion with other parenteral fluids. Intralipid 10% can be infused into the same central or peripheral vein as carbohydrate/amino acids solutions by means of a Y-connector near the infusion site. This allows for mixing of the emulsion immediately before entering the vein or for alternation of each parenteral fluid. If infusion pumps are used, flow rates of each parenteral fluid should be controlled with a separate pump. Fat emulsion may also be infused through a separate peripheral site. Use a 1.2 micron filter with Intralipid 10%. Filters of less than 1.2 micron pore size must not be used. Conventional administration sets and TPN pooling bags contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components that have DEHP (di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) as a plasticizer.

may also be infused through a separate peripheral site. Use a 1.2 micron filter with Intralipid 10%. Filters of less than 1.2 micron pore size must not be used. Conventional administration sets and TPN pooling bags contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components that have DEHP (di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) as a plasticizer. Fat‑containing fluids such as Intralipid 10% extract DEHP from these PVC components and it may be advisable to consider infusion of Intralipid 10% through a non-DEHP administration set. Do not use any bag in which there appears to be an oiling out on the surface of the emulsion. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package is for admixing only and is not intended for direct intravenous infusion. ( 2.1 ) • Admixtures containing Intralipid 30% are prepared by a healthcare provider. ( 2.1 ) • Intralipid 30% must be combined with other PN fluids so that the resulting admixture has a final lipid concentration of no more than 20% (0.2 g lipid per mL of admixture). ( 2.1 , 2.2 ) • Protect the admixed PN solution from light. ( 2.2 , 16 ) • Recommended dosage depends on age, energy expenditure, clinical status, body weight, tolerance, ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids, and consideration of additional energy given to the patient. ( 2.3 ) Age Nutritional Requirements Recommended Initial Dosage and Maximum Dosage Birth to 2 years of age (including preterm and term neonates) Initial 0.5 g/kg/day not to exceed 3 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age Initial 1 to 2 g/kg/day not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day Pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age Initial 1 g/kg/day not to exceed 2 g/kg/day Adults 1 g/kg/day (stable) ≤1 g/kg/day (critically ill) not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day 2.1 Important Preparation and Administration Instructions • Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package is for admixing use only and is not intended for direct intravenous administration. • Admixtures containing Intralipid 30% are prepared and administered by a healthcare provider in the inpatient setting [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )]. • Patients and caregivers may administer admixtures containing Intralipid for home use after appropriate training by a trained healthcare provider [see Patient Counseling Information ( 17 )]. • Intralipid 30% must be combined with other PN fluids so that the resulting admixture has a final lipid concentration of no more than 20% (0.2 g lipid per mL of admixture). Refer to Admixture Preparation Instructions [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ]. • When Intralipid 30% is diluted to 20%, strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.125 g/kg/hour for neonates and infants [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. • Intralipid admixtures with osmolarity o Greater than or equal to 900 mOsm/L must be infused through a central vein. o Less than 900 mOsm/L may be administered either through a central or peripheral vein. • Use a 1.2 micron in-line filter during admixture administration. • PN admixtures should use a dedicated infusion line without any connections. Do not connect multiple medications in series. • To prevent air embolism, use a non-vented infusion set or close the vent on a vented set and fully evacuate residual gas in the bag prior to admixture administration. • The flow rate of the admixture should be controlled with an infusion pump. Do not pressurize the flexible bag to increase flow rates, and if administration is controlled by a pumping device, turn off the pump before the bag runs dry. • Do not use infusion sets and lines that contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), including infusion sets that contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components, because they contain DEHP as a plasticizer. • After connecting the infusion set, start infusion of PN admixture with Intralipid immediately. Complete the infusion within 24 hours. 2.2 Admixture Preparation Instructions Use the following instructions to prepare the Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package for transfer to a compounding bag: 1.

n DEHP as a plasticizer. • After connecting the infusion set, start infusion of PN admixture with Intralipid immediately. Complete the infusion within 24 hours. 2.2 Admixture Preparation Instructions Use the following instructions to prepare the Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package for transfer to a compounding bag: 1. Inspect Bag • Inspect the integrity indicator (Oxalert ® ) (A) before removing the overpouch. • Discard the product if the indicator is black, overpouch is opened or damaged, emulsion color is not white, or seals of bag are broken. 2. Remove Overpouch • Place the bag on a clean, flat surface. • Tear the overpouch at notch and pull down. • Discard the Oxalert sachet (A) and the oxygen absorber (B). • Visually inspect the bag and contents for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The lipid emulsion should be a homogenous liquid with a milky white appearance. If the mixture is not white or the emulsion has separated (noted by discoloration, phase separation, or oily droplets), or if particulates and/or leakage are observed, discard the bag. 3. Spike Bag • Identify the infusion port ( blue cap with the arrow pointing away from the bag). • Immediately before inserting the compounding set, break off the blue infusion port cap. • Use a suitable sterile transfer device or dispensing set with an external spike diameter of 5.5 to 5.7 mm. • Hold the base of the infusion port. • Insert the spike through the infusion port by rotating your wrist slightly until the spike is inserted. • Do not pierce the infusion port more than once. 4. Transfer to the Compounding Bag • Hang the bag using the hanger cut and start transfer to the compounding bag. • Discard unused portion. • Use the Intralipid 30% immediately for admixing after removal from the overpouch. If not used immediately, the product can be stored for no longer than 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). After removal from storage, and once the closure is penetrated, use Pharmacy Bulk Package contents within 4 hours. • Diluting Intralipid 30% to a 10% or 20% concentration with an intravenous fluid such as normal saline or other diluent does not produce a dilution that is equivalent in composition to Intralipid 10% or 20% intravenous lipid emulsions. Therefore, diluents other than dextrose and amino acids should not be used to prepare admixtures for direct intravenous administration. Admixing Instructions • Prepare the admixture in PN containers using strict aseptic techniques to avoid microbial contamination. • Do not add Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package to the PN container first; destabilization of the lipid may occur. The prime destabilizers of emulsions are excessive acidity (such as a pH <5) and inappropriate electrolyte content. Amino acid solutions exert buffering effects that protect the emulsion from destabilization. Give careful consideration to the addition of divalent cations (Ca++ and Mg++), which have been shown to cause emulsion instability. • Do not inject additives directly into Intralipid. • Intralipid 30% may be mixed with amino acid and dextrose injections to produce “all-in-one” PN admixtures. The mixing sequence below must be followed for manual compounding to minimize pH-related problems by ensuring that typically acidic dextrose injections are not mixed with lipid emulsions alone; shake bags gently after each addition. o Transfer dextrose injection to the PN container. o Transfer amino acid injection. o Transfer Intralipid 30%. • Simultaneous transfer of amino acid injection, dextrose injection, and Intralipid to the PN container is also permitted; follow automated compounding device instructions as indicated. Use gentle agitation during admixing to minimize localized concentration effects.

fer amino acid injection. o Transfer Intralipid 30%. • Simultaneous transfer of amino acid injection, dextrose injection, and Intralipid to the PN container is also permitted; follow automated compounding device instructions as indicated. Use gentle agitation during admixing to minimize localized concentration effects. • Additions to the PN admixtures should be evaluated by a pharmacist for compatibility. Questions about compatibility may be directed to Fresenius Kabi. • Inspect the admixture to ensure that precipitates have not formed during preparation of the admixture and the emulsion has not separated. Discard the admixture if any of the above are observed. • Infuse admixtures containing Intralipid immediately. If not used immediately, store admixtures under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for no longer than 24 hours. Infusion must be complete within 24 hours after removal from refrigeration. Discard any remaining admixture. • Protect the admixed PN solution from light. intra-img-01.jpg intra-img-02.jpg intra-img-03.jpg intra-img-04.jpg 2.3 Recommended Dosage and Administration • The recommended nutritional requirements of lipid and recommended dosages of Intralipid to be administered to meet those requirements for adults and pediatric patients are provided in Table 1 . • The dosing of Intralipid depends on the patient's individual energy requirements influenced by age, body weight, tolerance, clinical status, and the ability to metabolize and eliminate lipids. • When determining dose, energy supplied by dextrose and amino acids from PN, as well as energy from oral or enteral nutrition, has to be taken into account. Energy and lipid provided from lipid-based medications should also be taken into account (e.g., propofol). • Prior to administration of admixtures with Intralipid, correct severe fluid and electrolyte disorders and measure serum triglyceride levels to establish a baseline value. In patients with elevated triglyceride levels, initiate Intralipid at a lower dosage and titrate in smaller increments, monitoring the triglyceride levels with each adjustment [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] . Table 1: Recommended Pediatric and Adult Dosage for Intralipid Concentrations of 20% or less in an Admixture * The neonatal period is defined as including term, post-term, and preterm neonates. The neonatal period for term and post-term neonates is the day of birth plus 27 days. For preterm neonates, the neonatal period is defined as the day of birth through the expected age of delivery plus 27 days (i.e., 44 weeks post-menstrual age). ** Daily dosage should also not exceed a maximum of 60% of total energy requirements [see Overdosage ( 10 )]. Age Nutritional Requirements Recommended Initial Dosage and Maximum Dosage Birth to 2 years of age (including preterm and term neonates*) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Initial 0.5 g/kg/day not to exceed 3 g/kg/day** Pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age Initial 1 to 2 g/kg/day not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day** Pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age Initial 1 g/kg/day not to exceed 2 g/kg/day** Adults 1 g/kg/day in stable patients ≤1 g/kg/day in critically ill patients not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day** Dosage Modifications in Patients with Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency When admixtures with Intralipid are administered to correct essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD), supply 8% to 10% of caloric input from Intralipid in order to provide adequate amounts of linoleic and linolenic acids.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Risk of Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants: Acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions have been reported. When Intralipid 30% is diluted to 20%, strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.125 g/kg/hour for neonates and infants. ( 5.1 , 8.4 ) • Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease (PNALD): Increased risk in patients who receive PN for extended periods of time, especially preterm neonates. Monitor liver function tests; if abnormalities occur consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. ( 5.2 , 6.1 , 8.4 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for signs or symptoms. Discontinue infusion if reactions occur. ( 5.3 ) • Risk of Infections, Fat Overload Syndrome, Refeeding Syndrome, and Hypertriglyceridemia: Monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.4 , 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.7 ) • Aluminum Toxicity: Increased risk in patients with renal impairment, including preterm neonates. ( 5.8 , 8.4 ) 5.1 Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsions in Neonates and Infants In the postmarketing setting, serious adverse reactions including acute respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and death have been reported in neonates and infants after rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsions. Hypertriglyceridemia was commonly reported. Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package is not intended for direct infusion. When it is diluted to 20%, strictly adhere to the recommended total daily dosage; the hourly infusion rate should not exceed 0.125 g/kg/hour. Preterm and small for gestational age infants have poor clearance of intravenous lipid emulsion and increased free fatty acid plasma levels following lipid emulsion infusion. Carefully monitor the infant's ability to eliminate the infused lipids from the circulation (e.g., measure serum triglycerides and/or plasma free fatty acid levels). If signs or poor clearance of lipids from the circulation occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 , 5.7 ) and Overdosage ( 10 )]. 5.2 Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Risk of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD), also referred to as intestinal failure- associated liver disease (IFALD), can present as cholestasis or hepatic steatosis, and may progress to steatohepatitis with fibrosis and cirrhosis (possibly leading to chronic hepatic failure). The etiology of PNALD is multifactorial; however, intravenously administered phytosterols (plant sterols) contained in plant-derived lipid emulsions, including Intralipid, have been associated with development of PNALD. In a randomized study of neonates and infants expected to be treated with PN for at least 28 days, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Monitor liver tests in patients treated with admixtures containing Intralipid and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur.

warnings_and_cautionsopenfda· Warnings and Cautions· item 200318

frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Monitor liver tests in patients treated with admixtures containing Intralipid and consider discontinuation or dosage reduction if abnormalities occur. Other Hepatobiliary Disorders Hepatobiliary disorders including cholecystitis and cholelithiasis have developed in some PN-treated patients without preexisting liver disease. Monitor liver tests when administering admixtures containing Intralipid. Patients developing signs of hepatobiliary disorders should be assessed early to determine whether these conditions are related to Intralipid use. 5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions Intralipid contains soybean oil and egg phospholipids, which may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cross reactions have been observed between soybean and peanut. In postmarketing experience, anaphylaxis has been reported following Intralipid administration [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut or any of the active or inactive ingredients in Intralipid [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, stop infusion of admixtures containing Intralipid immediately and initiate appropriate treatment and supportive measures. 5.4 Infections Parenteral nutrition, such as Intralipid, can support microbial growth and is an independent risk factor for the development of catheter-related bloodstream infections. To decrease the risk of infectious complications, ensure aseptic techniques are used for catheter placement, catheter maintenance, and preparation and administration of admixtures containing Intralipid. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection including fever and chills, as well as laboratory test results that might indicate infection (including leukocytosis and hyperglycemia). Perform frequent checks of the intravenous catheter insertion site for edema, redness, and discharge. 5.5 Fat Overload Syndrome Fat overload syndrome is a rare condition that has been reported with intravenous lipid injectable emulsions and is characterized by a sudden deterioration in the patient's condition (e.g., fever, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders, hyperlipidemia, hepatomegaly, deteriorating liver function, and central nervous system manifestations such as coma). A reduced or limited ability to metabolize lipids, accompanied by prolonged plasma clearance (resulting in higher lipid levels), may result in this syndrome. Although fat overload syndrome has been most frequently observed when the recommended lipid dose or infusion rate was exceeded, cases have also been described when the lipid formulation was administered according to instructions. If signs or symptoms of fat overload syndrome occur, stop the infusion of admixtures containing Intralipid. The syndrome is usually reversible when the infusion of the lipid emulsion is stopped. 5.6 Refeeding Syndrome Administering PN to severely malnourished patients may result in refeeding syndrome, which is characterized by the intracellular shift of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium as patients become anabolic. Thiamine deficiency and fluid retention may also develop. To prevent these complications, closely monitor severely malnourished patients and slowly increase their nutrient intake. 5.7 Hypertriglyceridemia The use of Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with hypertriglyceridemia with serum triglyceride concentrations >1,000 mg/dL. Patients with conditions such as inherited lipid disorders, obesity, diabetes mellitus, or metabolic syndromes have a higher risk of developing hypertriglyceridemia with the use of Intralipid.

warnings_and_cautionsopenfda· Warnings and Cautions· item 200318

use of Intralipid is contraindicated in patients with hypertriglyceridemia with serum triglyceride concentrations >1,000 mg/dL. Patients with conditions such as inherited lipid disorders, obesity, diabetes mellitus, or metabolic syndromes have a higher risk of developing hypertriglyceridemia with the use of Intralipid. In addition, patients with hypertriglyceridemia may have worsening of their hypertriglyceridemia with administration of Intralipid. Excessive dextrose administration may further increase such risk. Evaluate patients' capacity to metabolize and eliminate the infused lipid emulsion by measuring serum triglycerides before the start of infusion (baseline value) and regularly throughout treatment. If triglyceride levels are above 400 mg/dL in adults, stop the Intralipid infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid clinical consequences of hypertriglyceridemia such as pancreatitis. In pediatric patients with hypertriglyceridemia, lower triglyceride levels (i.e., below 400 mg/dL) may be associated with adverse reactions. Monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid potential complications with hypertriglyceridemia such as pancreatitis, lipid pneumonitis, and neurologic changes, including kernicterus. To minimize the risk of new or worsening of hypertriglyceridemia, assess high-risk patients for their overall energy intake including other sources of lipids and dextrose, as well as concomitant drugs that may affect lipid and dextrose metabolism. 5.8 Aluminum Toxicity Intralipid contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. Prolonged PN administration in patients with renal impairment may result in aluminum reaching toxic levels. Preterm neonates are at greater risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions that contain aluminum. Patients with impaired kidney function, including preterm neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day can accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading in these patients may occur at even lower rates of administration. 5.9 Monitoring/Laboratory Tests Monitor fluid status closely in patients with pulmonary edema or heart failure. Throughout treatment, monitor serum triglycerides [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )], essential fatty acids, fluid and electrolyte status, serum osmolarity, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, blood count (including platelets), and coagulation parameters. The lipids contained in Intralipid may interfere with some laboratory tests (e.g., hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin, oxygen saturation) if blood is sampled before lipids have cleared from the bloodstream. Conduct these tests at least 6 hours after stopping the infusion. Intralipid contains vitamin K that may counteract anticoagulant activity [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] .

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse reactions described elsewhere in this Prescribing Information are: • Clinical Decompensation with Rapid Infusion of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion in Neonates and Infants [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease and Other Hepatobiliary Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] • Fat Overload Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Refeeding Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] • Hypertriglyceridemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] • Aluminum Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Most common adverse drug reactions (≥5%) from clinical trials in adults were nausea, vomiting, and pyrexia. Most common adverse drug reactions (≥5%) from clinical trials in pediatric patients were anemia, vomiting, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, and cholestasis. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC at 1-800-551-7176 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Intralipid 20% or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsions functioned as the comparator in trials of the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. The adverse reactions from these studies are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid because Intralipid 30% is to be diluted down to 20% or lower for PN admixture. The safety database for Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion exposure in these studies include 393 patients (230 adults; 163 pediatric) in 9 clinical trials. Adult patients were exposed for 5 days to 4 weeks in 5 clinical trials. Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion was used as a component of PN which also included dextrose, amino acids, vitamins, and trace elements. Two of the 5 studies in adults were performed with Intralipid as a component of PN delivered in a 3-chamber bag.

In a randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study that included 152 neonates and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days who were expected to require PN for at least 28 days, PNAC, a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a comparator 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. PNAC (defined as direct bilirubin >2 mg/dL with a second confirmed elevation >2 mg/dL at least 7 days later) occurred in 11.5% (9/78) in Intralipid-treated patients and 2.4% (2/83) of patients treated with a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion. Most PNAC events occurred in patients who were treated for longer than 28 days. The estimated cumulative incidence of PNAC is shown in the Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve in Figure 1 [see Pediatric Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Figure 1: Cumulative Incidence Curve of Time to Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis (PNAC) with Standard Error Bars intra-graph-01.jpg 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions from voluntary reports have been reported with Intralipid. Because many of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Cardiac disorders: palpitations Gastrointestinal disorders: vomiting, nausea General disorders and administration site conditions: chills, chest discomfort, pyrexia Nervous system disorders: dizziness Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders : dyspnea Immune system disorders: hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Vascular disorders : phlebitis Blood and lymphatic system disorders : hypercoagulability

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Administration of the recommended dose of Intralipid is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. No animal reproduction studies have been conducted with Intralipid. There are risks to the fetus associated with severe malnutrition during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population(s) is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. 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. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk Severe malnutrition in pregnant women is associated with preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations, and perinatal mortality. Parenteral nutrition should be considered if the pregnant woman's nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by oral or enteral intake. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary Administration of the recommended dose of Intralipid is not expected to cause harm to a breastfed infant. There are no data on the presence of Intralipid in human or animal milk or its effects on milk production. Available published literature includes fewer than five reported cases of breastfed infants exposed to various lipid emulsions via lactation, and these cases did not report adverse events. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Intralipid and any potential adverse effects of Intralipid on the breastfed infant, or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Intralipid is contraindicated in pediatric patients with severe disorders of lipid metabolism [ (see Contraindications ( 4 )]. The safety and effectiveness of Intralipid have been established as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for PN in pediatric patients, including term and preterm neonates. Use of Intralipid in neonates is supported by evidence from short-term (i.e., 1- to 4- week) studies, and one study following neonates beyond 4 weeks [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Use of Intralipid in older pediatric patients is supported by evidence from short-term (i.e., <28 days) studies in pediatric patients 28 days to 12 years of age and additional evidence from studies in adults [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . The most common adverse reactions in Intralipid-treated pediatric patients were anemia, vomiting, gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, and cholestasis. PNAC, a precursor to PNALD, developed more frequently in Intralipid-treated patients than in patients treated with a comparator 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . In the postmarketing setting, clinical decompensation with rapid infusion of intravenous lipid emulsion in neonates and infants, sometimes fatal, has been reported [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Because of immature renal function, preterm neonates receiving prolonged treatment with Intralipid may be at risk for aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] . 8.5 Geriatric Use Reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.

overdosageopenfda· Overdosage· item 200318

10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of an overdose, serious adverse reactions may result [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.5 )] . Stop the infusion of admixtures containing Intralipid until triglyceride levels have normalized and symptoms have abated. The effects are usually reversible by stopping the lipid infusion. If medically appropriate, further intervention may be indicated. Lipids are not dialyzable from plasma.

11 DESCRIPTION Intralipid is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, white, homogenous lipid emulsion for intravenous infusion as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for use in a pharmacy admixture program. The lipid content of Intralipid 30% Pharmacy Bulk Package is 0.3 g/mL and comprises soybean oil. The phosphate content is 15 mmol/L. The total energy content, including fat, phospholipids, and glycerin is 3,000 kcal/L. Each 100 mL of Intralipid contains approximately 30 g soybean oil, 1.2 g egg yolk phospholipids, 1.7 g glycerin, water for injection, and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment (pH 6 to 8.9). Intralipid has an osmolality of approximately 310 mOsm/kg water (which represents an osmolarity of 200 mOsm/L). The soybean oil is a refined natural product consisting of a mixture of neutral triglycerides of predominantly unsaturated fatty acids with the following structure: where are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid residues. The major component fatty acids in Intralipid are linoleic acid (44% to 62%), oleic acid (19% to 30%), palmitic acid (7% to 14%), alpha-linolenic acid (4% to 11%), and stearic acid (1.4% to 5.5%). These fatty acids have the following chemical and structural formulas: Linoleic Acid C 18 H 32 O 2 Oleic Acid C 18 H 34 O 2 Palmitic Acid C 16 H 32 O 2 α-Linolenic Acid C 18 H 30 O 2 Stearic Acid C 18 H 36 O 2 Purified egg phosphatides are a mixture of naturally occurring phospholipids which are isolated from the egg yolk. These phospholipids have the following general structure: contain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that abound in neutral fats. R 3 is primarily either the choline or ethanolamine ester of phosphoric acid. Glycerin is chemically designated C 3 H 8 O 3 and is a clear colorless, hygroscopic syrupy liquid. It has the following structural formula: The container-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional oxygen and moisture barrier when necessary. Intralipid contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. The container is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP. intra-struc-01.jpg intra-struc-02.jpg intra-struc-03.jpg intra-struc-04.jpg intra-struc-05.jpg intra-struc-06.jpg intra-struc-07.jpg intra-struc-08.jpg intra-struc-09.jpg intra-struc-10.jpg intra-struc-11.jpg

14 CLINICAL STUDIES Intralipid 20% or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion functioned as the comparator for the 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in the clinical studies described in sections 14.1 and 14.2. The trial results are included to present the clinical experience with Intralipid because Intralipid 30% is to be diluted down to 20% or lower for PN admixture. 14.1 Adult Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid or equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion was evaluated in 3 clinical studies in adult patients. Nutritional efficacy in adult studies was assessed by changes in anthropometric indices (body weight, height, and body mass index [BMI]), changes in lipid and protein metabolism (albumin), and fatty acid parameters. Of the 354 adult patients (178 Intralipid; 176 comparator), 62% were male, 99% were Caucasian, and ages ranged from 19 to 96 years. All patients received Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion or the comparator as part of a PN regimen. Although Adult Study 1, Adult Study 2, and Adult Study 3 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid/equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in adults. The lipid dosage was variable in these studies and adjusted to the patient's nutritional requirements. Adult Study 1 was a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study in patients who required PN for at least 28 days. Seventy-five patients were enrolled, and 73 patients were treated with either Intralipid or the comparator. Changes in mean triglyceride levels from baseline values to Week 4 were similar in both the Intralipid and comparator groups. Mean albumin levels demonstrated a comparable decrease in both groups. Mean changes in body weight (kg) and BMI (kg/m 2 ) were similar in both the Intralipid and the comparator groups. Adult Study 2 was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study. A total of 249 postoperative adult patients were randomized to receive either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator for at least 5 days as part of their total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimen. From baseline to Day 6, mean triglyceride levels increased similarly in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups. Adult Study 3 was a double-blind randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, single-center study in 32 adult patients who required TPN for 10 to 14 days. Patients were treated with either an equivalent soybean oil lipid emulsion to Intralipid or the comparator. The increase in mean triglyceride levels from baseline to the final assessment was similar in both the soybean oil lipid emulsion and the comparator groups. 14.2 Pediatric Clinical Studies The efficacy of Intralipid compared to a 4-oil mixed lipid emulsion in pediatric patients of all age groups, including term and preterm neonates, was evaluated in 333 patients in 4 randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group controlled clinical studies. Although Pediatric Studies 1, 2, 3, and 4 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in pediatric patients.

4 randomized active-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group controlled clinical studies. Although Pediatric Studies 1, 2, 3, and 4 were not designed for formal statistical comparisons between Intralipid and the comparator, they support Intralipid as a source of calories and essential fatty acids in pediatric patients. The 333 pediatric patients (163 Intralipid; 170 comparator) consisted of 296 patients who were <28 days old, 22 patients 29 days to <2 years old, and 15 patients 2 to <12 years old. Fifty percent of the pediatric patients were male and 87% were Caucasian. All patients received Intralipid or the comparator as part of a PN regimen. Nutritional efficacy in neonates was assessed by changes in anthropometric indices (body weight, height, head circumference). Nutritional efficacy in pediatric patients, 28 days to 12 years of age, was assessed by changes in triglyceride concentrations and fatty acid parameters. Pediatric Study 1 enrolled 152 preterm and term neonates (birth up to 28 days) and 9 patients ranging in age from 29 to 153 days. Patients were treated with either Intralipid (n=78) or the comparator (n=83). A total of 119 patients (58 Intralipid; 61 comparator) received study treatment for ≥14 days. A total of 27 patients received Intralipid for ≥29 days; 5 patients received Intralipid for the maximum study duration of 78-84 days. Pediatric Studies 2 and 3 enrolled 60 and 84 preterm neonates, respectively, who were treated with either Intralipid or the comparator (72 neonates in each group). The median treatment duration for Intralipid group was 9 days in Pediatric Study 2 and 6 days in Pediatric Study 3. Pediatric Study 4 enrolled 28 patients 5 months to <2 years of age and 15 patients 2 to 11.5 years of age. Patients were treated with either Intralipid (n=13) or the comparator (n=15) with a median treatment duration of 27 days. In Pediatric Studies 1, 2 and 3, which enrolled neonates, Intralipid-treated patients showed increases in the median body weight, height/length, and head circumference (which was measured in Studies 1 and 3) comparable to the comparator-treated patients. Mean triglyceride levels from baseline to the final assessment in Pediatric Studies 1, 2, and 3 were variable in these neonates, but overall differences between groups were not considered clinically relevant. Mean triglyceride levels in Pediatric Study 4 were variable but remained within the normal range.
