Product name and form

Zemcelpro ≥0.23×106 viable CD34+ cells/mL / ≥0.53×106 viable CD3+ cells/mL dispersion for infusion.

Pharmaceutical Form

Dispersion for infusion.

Dorocubicel: Colourless to slightly yellow cell dispersion for infusion.

Unexpanded CD34- cells: Reddish cell dispersion for infusion.

Qualitative and quantitative composition

Zemcelpro is a cryopreserved allogeneic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell therapy containing two cell components, namely the expanded and unexpanded components, both derived from the same patient-specific umbilical cord blood unit (CBU).

The expanded component, referred to as dorocubicel which is the expanded CD34+ cells, is composed of the CD34+ fraction expanded ex-vivo in the presence of UM171.

The unexpanded component, referred to as unexpanded CD34- cells, is composed of the CD34-fraction from which the CD3+ cells are the active fraction.

Dorocubicel:

Each patient specific infusion bag of Zemcelpro contains a batch-dependent concentration of ex-vivo UM171 expanded CD34+ cells enriched population. The medicinal product is packaged in up to four infusion bags containing a dispersion for infusion of at least 0.23×10 6 viable CD34+ cells/mL suspended in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution.

Each infusion bag contains 20 mL dispersion for infusion.

Unexpanded CD34- cells:

Each patient-specific infusion bag contains a batch-dependent concentration of unexpanded CD34- cells. The medicinal product is packaged in four infusion bags containing a dispersion for infusion of at least 0.53×10 6 viable CD3+ cells/mL suspended in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution.

Each infusion bag contains 20 mL dispersion for infusion.

Quantitative information:

The quantitative information for each cell component of the medicinal product, including the batch dependent cell concentration and the number of infusion bags to be administered, is presented in the Release for infusion certificate (RfIC) accompanying the medicinal product for treatment. There is one RfIC for both cell components (see section 6).

Excipients with known effect:

This medicinal product contains a maximum of 477 mg sodium, 50 mg potassium, and 10% v/v DMSO per dose (see section 4.4).

For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.

Pack sizes and marketing

Zemcelpro is packaged in an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) infusion bag (50 mL) two ports containing 20 mL cell dispersion.

Each infusion bag is placed into an overwrap. This secondary packaging layer made of EVO copolymer is sealed twice. Each infusion bag in sealed overwrap is placed into a metallic cassette. The cassettes are subsequently placed in a labelled modpak within a standard, controlled cryoshipper.

One individual treatment dose comprises up to eight (8) infusion bags of 20 mL each, up to four (4) bags of dorocubicel, and four (4) bags of unexpanded CD34- cells.

Also provided with Zemcelpro is a cryovial containing the sample of the original cord blood unit for chimerism monitoring.
