FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE
BUMINATE 5% [Albumin (Human)] is indicated for hypovolemia, hypoalbuminemia and cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
1.1 Hypovolemia
BUMINATE 5% [Albumin (Human)] is indicated for reversing hypovolemia. When hypovolemia is long standing and hypoalbuminemia exists accompanied by adequate hydration or edema, 25% albumin should be used.4,6
1.2 Hypoalbuminemia
BUMINATE 5% is indicated for patients with hypoalbuminemia resulting from one or more of the following:5
(1) Inadequate production (e.g., malnutrition, burns, major injury, infections)
(2) Excessive catabolism (e.g., burns, major injury, pancreatitis)
(3) Loss from the body (e.g., hemorrhage, excessive renal excretion, burn exudates)
(4) Redistribution within the body (e.g., major surgery, various inflammatory conditions)
BUMINATE 5% is indicated for patients with hypoalbuminemia accompanying severe injuries, infections or severe pancreatitis that cannot be quickly reversed and nutritional supplements fail to restore serum albumin levels.
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
For intravenous use only.
2.1 Dose
The dose required depends on the patient's body weight, severity of injury/illness and on continuing fluid and protein losses. Adjust the concentration, dosage and infusion rate to the patient's individual requirements. Use adequacy of circulating blood volume, not plasma albumin levels, to determine the dose required. Refer to Table 1 for recommended doses.
Do not exceed 2 g of albumin per kg of body weight for the daily dose. Do not exceed 1 mL/min for patients with normal blood volume. More rapid administration can cause circulatory overload and pulmonary edema.11 [See Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
| Indication | Dose |
|---|---|
| Hypovolemic Shock | Infants and young children: 12 to 20 mL per kg body weight. Older children and adults: initial dose 250 to 500 mL. Repeat after 15 to 30 minutes if response is not adequate. |
| Hypoalbuminemia | Calculate the body albumin compartment to be 80 to 100 mL per kg body weight. Do not exceed a daily dose of 2 g of albumin per kg of body weight. |
| Burns | The dosage should be determined according to the patient's condition and response to treatment after the first 24 hours. |
2.2 Administration
- Visually inspect parenteral drug product for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. BUMINATE 5% is a transparent or slightly opalescent solution, which may have a greenish tint or may vary from a pale straw to an amber color. Do not use unless solution is clear of particulate matter or if the solution is turbid.
- Do not dilute with Sterile Water for Injection. Acceptable diluents include 0.9% Sodium Chloride or 5% Dextrose in Water. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
- Do not mix or add with other medicinal products including blood and blood components, protein hydrolysates or solutions containing alcohol. Do not add supplementary medication.
- Administer within 4 hours after the container has been entered.
- Monitor hemodynamic parameters in patients receiving BUMINATE 5% and check for the risk of hypervolemia and cardiovascular overload. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- Record the name and batch number of the product to maintain a link between the patient and the product.
- Discard unused portion.
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to albumin preparations or to any of the excipients (N-acetyltryptophan and sodium caprylate). Reactions have included anaphylactic shock, anaphylactic reaction, or hypersensitivity/allergic reactions. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.2)]
- Patients with severe anemia or cardiac failure with normal or increased intravascular volume. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylactic reactions) have been observed. Discontinue administration immediately if a hypersensitivity reaction (including anaphylactic type reactions) is suspected. In case of shock, implement standard medical treatment for shock.
5.2 Hypervolemia/Hemodilution
Under conditions where hypervolemia and/or hemodilution may occur, adjust dose and rate of infusion to the patient's volume status. Monitor coagulation and hematology parameters when comparatively large volumes are replaced. Ensure adequate substitution of other blood constituents (coagulation factors, platelets, and erythrocytes). Monitor electrolyte status to maintain the electrolyte balance.
Discontinue administration at the first clinical signs of cardiovascular overload (e.g., headache, dyspnea, jugular venous distention, rales and abnormal elevations in systemic or central venous blood pressure).
Conditions that pose increased risk of hypervolemia and/or hemodilution include but are not limited to:
- Heart failure
- Hypertension
- Esophageal varices
- Pulmonary edema
- Hemorrhagic diathesis
- Severe anemia
- Renal failure
5.3 Hemodynamics
Closely monitor hemodynamic parameters after administering BUMINATE 5% for evidence of cardiac or respiratory failure, renal failure or increasing intracranial pressure.
5.4 Blood Pressure
Monitor blood pressure in trauma patients and postoperative surgery patients resuscitated with BUMINATE 5% in order to detect re-bleeding secondary to clot disruption.
5.5 Hemolysis
Do not dilute BUMINATE 5% with Sterile Water for Injection as this can cause hemolysis in recipients. There exists a risk of potentially fatal hemolysis and acute renal failure from the use of Sterile Water for Injection as a diluent for Albumin (Human). [See Dosage and Administration (2.2)]
5.6 Transmission of Infectious Agents
BUMINATE 5% is a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral diseases and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). There is a theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), but if that risk actually exists, the risk of transmission would also be considered extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, CJD or vCJD, have ever been identified for licensed albumin.
All infections thought by a physician possibly to have been transmitted by this product should be reported by the physician or other healthcare provider to Baxalta US Inc. at 1-800-423-2090. The physician should discuss the risks and benefits of this product with the patient.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most serious adverse reactions are hypersensitivity reaction (including anaphylactic reaction) and pulmonary edema.
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
No sponsor initiated clinical studies have been conducted with BUMINATE 5%.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of BUMINATE 5%. Because these reactions are 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.
The following adverse reactions have been reported in the post approval use of BUMINATE 5%:
- Immune System Disorders: Anaphylactic shock, anaphylactic reaction, hypersensitivity/allergic reactions
- Nervous System Disorders: Headache, dysgeusia
- Cardiac Disorders: Myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, tachycardia
- Vascular Disorders: Hypotension, flushing
- Respiratory, Thoracic, and Mediastinal Disorders: Pulmonary edema, dyspnea
- Gastrointestinal Disorders: Vomiting, nausea
- Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Urticaria, rash, pruritus
- General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Pyrexia, chills
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
10 OVERDOSAGE
Hypervolemia may occur if the dosage and rate of infusion are too high. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
11 DESCRIPTION
BUMINATE 5% is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of albumin in single dosage form for intravenous administration. Each 100 mL contains 5 g of albumin. It has been adjusted to physiological pH with sodium bicarbonate and/or sodium hydroxide and stabilized with N-acetyltryptophan (0.004M) and sodium caprylate (0.004M). The sodium content is 145 ± 15 mEq/L. BUMINATE 5% contains no preservative and none of the coagulation factors found in fresh whole blood or plasma. BUMINATE 5% is a transparent or slightly opalescent solution which may have a greenish tint or may vary from a pale straw to an amber color and is clear of particulate matter.
BUMINATE 5% is manufactured from human plasma by the modified Cohn-Oncley cold ethanol fractionation process, which includes a series of cold-ethanol precipitation, centrifugation and/or filtration steps followed by pasteurization of the final product at 60 ± 0.5°C for 10 - 11 hours. This process accomplishes both purification of albumin and reduction of viruses.
In vitro studies demonstrate that the manufacturing process for BUMINATE 5% provides for effective viral reduction. These viral reduction studies, summarized in Table 2, demonstrate viral clearance during the manufacturing process for BUMINATE 5%.
These studies indicate that specific steps in the manufacturing of BUMINATE 5% are capable of eliminating/inactivating a wide range of relevant and model viruses. Since the mechanism of virus elimination/inactivation by fractionation and by heating steps is different, the overall manufacturing process of BUMINATE 5% is effective in reducing viral load.

The likelihood of the presence of viable hepatitis viruses has been minimized by testing the plasma at three stages for the presence of hepatitis viruses, by fractionation steps with demonstrated virus removal capacity and by heating the product for 10 hours at 60°C. This procedure has been shown to be an effective method of inactivating hepatitis virus in albumin solutions even when those solutions were prepared from plasma known to be infective.1,2,3 BUMINATE 5% contains no blood group isoagglutinins, thereby permitting its administration without regard to the recipient's blood group.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Albumin is responsible for 70-80% of the colloid osmotic pressure of normal plasma, thus making it useful in regulating the volume of circulating blood.4,5,6 Albumin is also a transport protein and binds naturally occurring, therapeutic and toxic materials in the circulation.5,6
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
BUMINATE 5% is osmotically equivalent to an equal volume of normal human plasma and will increase circulating plasma volume by an amount approximately equal to volume infused. The degree and duration of volume expansion depends upon the initial blood volume. In patients with decreased blood volume, the effect of infused albumin can persist for many hours; however, in patients with normal blood volume, the duration will be shorter.7,8,9
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Total body albumin is estimated to be 350 g for a 70 kg patient, with more than 60% located in the extravascular fluid compartment. The half-life of albumin is 15 to 20 days with a turnover of approximately 15 g per day.5
The minimum plasma albumin level necessary to prevent or reverse peripheral edema is unknown. It is recommended that plasma albumin levels be maintained at approximately 2.5 g/dL. This concentration provides a plasma oncotic pressure value of 20 mmHg.4

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
- Inform patients of the early signs of hypersensitivity reactions, including hives, generalized urticaria, chest tightness, dyspnea, wheezing, faintness, hypotension, and anaphylaxis. [See Warning and Precautions (5.1)]
- Inform patients that BUMINATE 5% is made from human plasma and may contain infectious agents that can cause disease (e.g., viruses and, theoretically, the CJD agent). Explain that the risk of BUMINATE 5% transmitting an infectious agent has been reduced by screening the plasma donors, by testing the donated plasma for certain virus infections, and by a process demonstrated to inactivate and/or remove certain viruses during manufacturing. Symptoms of a possible virus infection include headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, weakness, malaise, diarrhea, or, in the case of hepatitis, jaundice. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].
