AVONEX PEN has been developed to be the first single-use, once-a-week, fully integrated intramuscular autoinjector available for use with AVONEX treatment in patients with relapsing MS, integrating the currently approved AVONEX Prefilled Syringe and utilizing a 25 gauge 16 mm (5/8 inch) needle specifically created for AVONEX PEN.
Additional features of AVONEX PEN will include a protective injector shield that conceals the needle prior to injection, automated needle insertion and medication delivery, and a diameter and length designed to stabilize AVONEX PEN during the injection procedure. In addition, AVONEX PEN will incorporate a safety lock, which helps prevent injection error, and a display window that confirms complete delivery of the medication.
The application in the European Union includes data from a Phase 3b open-label, multicenter study, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of AVONEX PEN. The study included patients with MS using AVONEX Prefilled Syringe for at least 12 weeks prior to enrollment (n=70). Efficacy of AVONEX PEN was assessed through objective and subjective assessments of key aspects of patients’ use of AVONEX PEN.
