3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
Injection, emulsion.

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Parenteral nutrition for patients when oral or enteral nutrition is impossible or insufficient or
contraindicated.

4.2 Dose and method of administration


The ability to eliminate fat and metabolise glucose should govern the dosage and infusion rate (see
Section 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use).

Dosage
The dose should be individualised and the choice of bag size should be made with regard to the
patient’s clinical condition, body weight and nutritional requirements.

The nitrogen requirements for maintenance of body protein mass depend on the patient’s condition
(e.g. nutritional state and degree of catabolic stress). The requirements are 0.10–0.15 nitrogen/kg
body weight (b.w.)/day in the normal nutritional state or in conditions with mild metabolic stress. In
patients with moderate to high metabolic stress with or without malnutrition, the requirements are in
the range of 0.15–0.30 g nitrogen/kg b.w./day (1.0–2.0 g amino acid/kg b.w./day). The corresponding
commonly accepted requirements are 2.0–6.0 g for glucose and 1.0–2.0 g for fat.

The total energy requirement depends on the patient’s clinical condition and is most often between
20–30 kcal/kg b.w./day. In obese patients the dose should be based on the estimated ideal weight.

Kabiven G 11% is produced in three sizes intended for patients with moderately increased, basal or
low nutritional requirements. To provide total parenteral nutrition, the addition of trace elements,
vitamins and supplemental electrolytes may be required.

The dose range of 0.10–0.15 g nitrogen/kg b.w./day (0.7–1.0 g amino acid/kg b.w./day) and a total
energy of 20–30 kcal/kg b.w./day corresponds to approximately 27–40 mL Kabiven G 11%/kg
b.w./day.

Infusion rate
The maximum infusion rate for glucose is 0.25 g/kg/h.
Amino acid dosage should not exceed 0.1 g/kg/h.
Fat dosage should not provide more than 0.15 g/kg/h.

The infusion rate should not exceed 3.7 mL/kg b.w./hour (corresponding to 0.25 g glucose, 0.09 g
amino acid and 0.13 g fat/kg b.w.). The recommended infusion period for individual bags of Kabiven G
11% is 12–24 hours.

Maximum daily dose


40 mL/kg b.w./day. This is equal to one bag (largest size) to a 64 kg-patient and will provide 0.96 g
amino acids/kg b.w./day (0.16 g N/kg b.w./day), 25 kcal/kg b.w./day non-protein energy (2.7 g
glucose/kg b.w./day and 1.4 g fat/kg b.w./day).

Page 3 of 13
The maximum daily dose varies with the clinical condition of the patient and may even change from
day to day.

Method and duration of administration


Intravenous infusion into a central or peripheral vein (see Section 4.8 Adverse effects and Section 5.1
Pharmacological properties, Clinical trials). Infusion may be continued for as long as required by the
patient's clinical condition. Kabiven G 11% should be used within 24 hours of preparation.

In order to minimise the risk of thrombophlebitis, daily rotation of infusion site is recommended.

Instructions for use


Use in one person on one occasion only. Contains no antimicrobial preservative. Discard any unused
mixture.

Do not use if package is damaged. Kabiven G 11% should only be mixed and used if the solutions are
clear and colourless or slightly yellow and if the emulsion is white and homogenous.

The contents of the three separate chambers have to be mixed before use. Mixing of the solutions by
opening the seals between the chambers results in the ready-to-use solution. For that purpose
pressure must be exerted on one solution chamber by rolling up the bag from one of the side edges
until the middle seal opens. After separation of the seals the bag should be inverted on a number of
occasions to ensure a homogenous mixture.

After breaking the seals, chemical and physical in-use stability of the mixed three chamber bag has
been demonstrated for 24 hours at 25C.

Aseptic technique must be used to inject additives and the product must be used within 24 hours.

Compatibility
Additives
Only medicinal or nutritional solutions for which compatibility has been documented may be added to
Kabiven G 11%.

Additions should be made aseptically.

Additions 2400 mL 1920 mL 1440 mL

Special Handling Instructions
(1) Notches in the overpouch
(2) Handle
(3) Hole for hanging the bag
(4) Peelable seals
(5) Blind port (only used during Manufacturing)
(6) Additive port
(7) Infusion port
(8) Oxygen absorber

1. Removal of overpouch
▪ To remove overpouch, hold the bag horizontally and tear from the notch close to the ports along
the upper edge (A).
▪ Then simply tear the long side, pull off the overpouch and discard it along with the oxygen
absorber (B).

2. Mixing
▪ Place the bag on a flat surface.
▪ Roll up the bag tightly from the handle side towards the ports, firstly with the right hand and then
applying a constant pressure with the left hand until the vertical seals are broken. The vertical peel
seals open due to the pressure of the fluid. The peel seals can also be opened before removing the
overpouch.
Please note: The liquids mix easily although the horizontal seal remains closed.

Page 5 of 13
▪ Mix the contents of the three chambers by inverting the bag three times until the components are
thoroughly mixed.

3. Finalising the preparation:


▪ Place the bag on a flat surface again. Shortly before injecting the additives, break off the tamper-
evident arrow flag from the white additive port (A).
Please note: The membrane in the additive port is sterile.
▪ Hold the base of the additive port. Insert the needle, inject the additives (with known
compatibility) through the centre of the injection site (B).
▪ Mix thoroughly between each addition by inverting the bag three times. Use syringes with needles
of 18–23 gauge and a length of max. 40 mm.

▪ Shortly before inserting the infusion set, break off the tamper evident arrow flag from the blue
infusion port (A).
Please note: The membrane in the infusion port is sterile.
▪ Use a non-vented infusion set or close the air-inlet on a vented set.
▪ Hold the base of the infusion port.
▪ Push the spike through the infusion port. The spike should be fully inserted to secure it in place.
Please note: The inner part of the infusion port is sterile.

4. Hanging up the bag


▪ Hang the bag up by the hole below the handle.

4.3 Contraindications
▪ Hypersensitivity to egg-, soya- or peanut protein or to any of the ingredients.
▪ Severe hyperlipaemia
▪ Severe liver insufficiency
▪ Severe blood coagulation disorders
▪ Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism
▪ Severe renal insufficiency without access to haemofiltration or dialysis
▪ Acute shock
▪ Hyperglycaemia, which requires more than 6 units insulin/h
▪ Pathologically elevated serum levels of any of the included electrolytes
▪ General contraindications to infusion therapy: acute pulmonary oedema, hyperhydration,
decompensated cardiac insufficiency and hypotonic dehydration
▪ Haemophagocytotic syndrome
▪ Unstable conditions (e.g. severe post-traumatic conditions, uncompensated diabetes, acute
myocardial infarction, metabolic acidosis, severe sepsis and hyperosmolar coma)
▪ Due to composition, Kabiven G 11% is not suitable for use in new-borns or infants under 2 years of
age.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use


The ability to eliminate fat should be monitored. It is recommended that this is done by measuring
serum triglycerides after a fat-free period of 5–6 hours. The serum concentration of triglycerides
should not exceed 3 mmol/L during infusion.

Disturbances of the electrolyte and fluid balance (e.g. abnormally high or low serum levels of the
electrolytes) should be corrected before starting the infusion.

Special clinical monitoring is required at the beginning of any intravenous infusion. Should any
abnormal sign occur, the infusion must be stopped. Since an increased risk of infection is associated
with the use of any central vein, strict aseptic precautions should be taken to avoid any contamination
during catheter insertion and manipulation.

Kabiven G 11% should be given with caution in conditions of impaired lipid metabolism, such as in
renal insufficiency, uncompensated diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, impaired liver function,
hypothyrodism (with hypertriglyceridaemia) and sepsis. If Kabiven G 11% is given to patients with
these conditions, close monitoring of serum triglycerides is mandatory.

Serum glucose, electrolytes and osmolarity as well as fluid balance, acid-base status and liver enzyme
tests (alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST) should be monitored.

Blood cell count and coagulation should be monitored when fat is given for a longer period.

In patients with renal insufficiency, the phosphate and potassium intake should be carefully controlled
to prevent hyperphosphataemia and hyperkalaemia.

The amount of individual electrolytes to be added is governed by the clinical condition of the patient
and by frequent monitoring of serum levels.

Parenteral nutrition should be given with caution in metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis, insufficient
cellular oxygen supply and increased serum osmolarity.

Kabiven G 11% should be given with caution to patients with a tendency towards electrolyte retention.

Page 7 of 13
Any sign or symptom of anaphylactic reaction (such as fever, shivering, rash or dyspnoea) should lead
to immediate interruption of the infusion.

Intravenous infusion of amino acids is accompanied by increased urinary excretion of the trace
elements copper and, in particular, zinc. This should be considered in the dosing of trace elements,
especially during long-term intravenous nutrition.

In malnourished patients, initiation of parenteral nutrition can precipitate fluid shifts resulting in
pulmonary oedema and congestive heart failure as well as a decrease in the serum concentration of
potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and water-soluble vitamins. These changes can occur within 24
to 48 hours. Careful and slow initiation of parenteral nutrition is recommended together with close
monitoring and appropriate adjustments of fluid, electrolytes, minerals and vitamins.

Kabiven G 11% should not be given simultaneously with blood in the same infusion set due to the risk
of pseudoagglutination.

In patients with hyperglycaemia, administration of exogenous insulin might be necessary.

Kabiven G 11% contains soya oil and egg lecithin which may rarely cause allergic reactions. Cross
allergic reaction has been observed between soya-bean and peanut.

Peripheral infusion
As with all hypertonic solutions, thrombophlebitis may occur if peripheral veins are used for infusions.
Several factors contribute to the incidence of thrombophlebitis. These include the type of cannula
used and its diameter and length, the duration of infusion, pH and osmolality of infusates, infection
and the number of manipulations. It is recommended that venous access sites for TPN should not be
used for other intravenous additives or solutions (see Section 5.1 Pharmacological properties, Clinical
trials).

Use in the elderly


No data available.

Paediatric use
Kabiven G 11% is not recommended to neonates and infants under 2 years of age.

Effects on laboratory tests


The fat content of Kabiven G 11% may interfere with certain laboratory measurements (e.g. bilirubin,
lactate dehydrogenase, oxygen saturation, and haemoglobin) if blood is sampled before fat has been
adequately cleared from the bloodstream. Fat is cleared after a fat-free interval of 5–6 hours in most
patients.

4.5 Interaction with other medicines and other forms of interaction


Heparin given in clinical doses causes a transient release of lipoprotein lipase into the circulation. This
may result initially in increased plasma lipolysis followed by a transient decrease in triglyceride
clearance.

Other drugs, like insulin, may influence lipase activity but there is no evidence to suggest that this
adversely affects therapeutic value.

Soya oil has a natural content of vitamin K1. This may interfere with the therapeutic effect of
coumarin derivatives, which should be closely monitored in patients treated with such drugs.

Page 8 of 13
There are no clinical data to show that any of the above listed interactions are of definite clinical
relevance.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation


Effects on fertility
No data available.

Use in pregnancy
Category: Exempt

Reproduction studies in animals have not been conducted with Kabiven G 11%. No clinical data are
currently available to assess the safety of Kabiven G 11% in pregnancy. The prescriber should consider
the benefit/risk relationship before administering Kabiven G 11% to pregnant women.

Use in lactation
No clinical data are currently available on the use of Kabiven G 11% in breast-feeding women.
Following intravenous infusion, most of the active ingredients contained in Kabiven G 11% are
expected to be excreted into human milk, and the safety to the breast-feeding infant has not been
adequately established. The prescriber should consider the benefit/risk relationship before
administering Kabiven G 11% to breast-feeding women.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines


The effects of this medicine on a person's ability to drive and use machines were not assessed as part
of its registration.

4.8 Adverse effects (Undesirable effects)


The infusion may cause a rise in body temperature (incidence < 3%) and, less frequently, shivering,
chills and nausea/vomiting (incidence < 1%). Transient increases in liver enzymes during intravenous
nutrition have also been reported.

Thrombophlebitis is probably the most common adverse event in patients in general surgical wards.
The cause is in most cases due to infusions of saline, glucose or similar fluids and drugs. The
development of thrombophlebitis is dependent on many factors, which are listed below:
▪ Osmolarity of the injected substance
▪ pH of the injected substance
▪ Chemical structure of the injected substance
▪ Amount of blood flow
▪ Size of the blood vessel
▪ Presence of protective drugs or substances
▪ Duration of injection/infusion
▪ Speed of injection/infusion
▪ Material of the catheter
▪ Size of the catheter
▪ Movement of the catheter
▪ Microbiological agents

The rate of thrombophlebitis with Kabiven G 11% from post-marketing surveillance is estimated to be
common (> 1/100). The risks of thrombophlebitis should be weighed against the benefits when
peripheral administration is intended.

Page 9 of 13
Reports of other undesirable effects in conjunction with the included components are extremely rare.
Hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylactic reaction, skin rash, urticaria), respiratory symptoms (e.g.
tachypnoea) and hyper/hypotension have been described. Haemolysis, reticulocytosis, abdominal
pain, headache, tiredness and priapism have been reported.

Fat overload syndrome


An impaired capacity to eliminate fat may lead to the fat overload syndrome. This may occur as a
result of overdosage, but also at recommended rates of infusion, in association with a sudden change
in the patient’s clinical condition resulting in severe renal or hepatic impairment.

The fat overload syndrome is characterised by hyperlipaemia, fever, fat infiltration, hepatomegaly,
splenomegaly, anaemia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, blood coagulation disorders and coma. These
changes are invariably reversible on discontinuation of the fat infusion.

Reporting suspected adverse effects


Reporting suspected adverse reactions after registration of the medicinal product is important. It
allows continued monitoring of the benefit-risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare
professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions at www.tga.gov.au/reporting-
problems.

4.9 Overdose
See Fat overload syndrome under Section 4.8 Adverse effects.

Nausea, vomiting and sweating have been observed during infusion of amino acids at rates exceeding
the recommended maximum rate.

If symptoms of overdose occur, the infusion should be slowed down or discontinued.

Additionally, overdose might cause fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, hyperglycaemia, and
hyperosmolality.

In some rare serious cases, haemodialysis, haemofiltration or haemo-diafiltration may be necessary.

For information on the management of overdose, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26
(Australia).

5 PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Mechanism of action
Fat emulsion
Intralipid, the fat emulsion used in Kabiven G 11% provides essential and non-essential long chain fatty
acids for energy metabolism and the structural integrity of cell membranes.

Intralipid in the recommended dosage does not cause haemodynamic changes. No clinically
significant changes in pulmonary function have been described when Intralipid is used properly. The
transient increase in liver enzymes seen in some patients on parenteral nutrition is reversible and
disappears when parenteral nutrition is discontinued. Similar changes are also seen in parenteral
nutrition without fat emulsions.

Page 10 of 13
Amino acids and electrolytes
The amino acids, constituents of protein in ordinary food, are utilised for tissue protein synthesis and
any surplus is channelled to a number of metabolic pathways. Studies have shown a thermogenic
effect of amino acid infusion.

Glucose
Glucose should have no pharmacodynamic effects apart from contributing to maintain or replete the
normal nutritional status.

Clinical trials
There was an open, randomised, comparative clinical study comparing the safety/tolerance of Kabiven
G 11% with a compounded intravenous TPN preparation. A total of 46 subjects requiring total
parenteral nutrition and appropriate for infusion in a peripheral vein were evaluated. One bag of
Kabiven G 11% 2400 mL or trial medication was administered over 12–24 hours daily at an infusion
rate not exceeding 4.2 mL/kg bw/hour. Moderate or worse venous reactions (pain, swelling, redness,
palpable vein cord) were seen in fifteen patients who received Kabiven G 11% versus nine who
received the compounded preparation. The evaluation of clinical and laboratory safety parameters,
adverse events and local tolerance demonstrated that the two trial products were equally safe and
well tolerated.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties


Fat emulsion
Intralipid has biological properties similar to those of endogenous chylomicrons. Unlike chylomicrons,
Intralipid does not contain cholesterol esters or apolipoproteins, while its phospholipid content is
significantly higher.

Intralipid is eliminated from the circulation via a pathway similar to that of endogenous chylomicrons,
at least early on in the catabolism. The exogenous fat particle is primarily hydrolysed in the circulation
and taken up by the LDL receptors peripherally and by the liver. The elimination rate is determined by
the composition of the fat particles, the nutritional status, the disease and the rate of infusion. In
healthy volunteers, the maximum clearance rate of Intralipid after fasting overnight is equivalent to
3.8  1.5 g of triglyceride per kg body weight per 24 hours.

Both the elimination and the oxidation rates are dependent on the patient’s clinical condition;
elimination is faster and utilisation is increased in postoperative patients and in trauma, while patients
with renal failure and hypertriglyceridaemia show lower utilisation of exogenous fat emulsions.

Amino acids and electrolytes


The pharmacokinetic properties of the infused amino acids and electrolytes are essentially the same
as for amino acids and electrolytes supplied by ordinary food. However, the amino acids of dietary
protein first enter the portal vein and then the systemic circulation, while intravenously infused amino
acids reach the systemic circulation directly. This difference results only in a marginal change of
kinetics and does not change the bioavailability of the amino acids.

Glucose
The pharmacokinetic properties of infused glucose are essentially the same as those of glucose
supplied by ordinary food.
