Clinolipid provides calories and essential fatty acids for parenteral nutrition Expanded indication demonstrates Baxter’s continued commitment to meeting the diverse nutritional needs of patients, from preterm neonates to adults DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Baxter International, Inc. (NYSE:BAX), a global leader in nutrition therapy, today announced U.S. FDA approval of an expanded indication for Clinolipid (Lipid Injectable Emulsion) to be used in pediatric patients, including preterm and term neonates. Clinolipid is Baxter’s proprietary mixed oil lipid emulsion that is used to provide calories and essential fatty acids in parenteral (intravenous) nutrition (PN) when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient or contraindicated. Clinolipid has been available in the U.S. for adults since 2019 and is now available for use in all ages. “Improving patient outcomes inspires our work every day, and we are proud to continue to address the unique nutritional needs of neonatal and pediatric patients through innovative products and therapies,” said Cecilia Soriano, president of Baxter’s global Infusion Therapies and Technologies division. “Expanding access to Clinolipid for this critical and vulnerable patient population offers clinicians versatility in choosing the product that best meets their patients’ needs when it matters most.” A Mixed Lipid Emulsion with Unique Characteristics Parenteral nutrition plays an important role in helping treat and reduce the risk of malnutrition. In the U.S., it’s estimated that about 40 percent of patients who receive PN as an intravenous source of nourishment are under the age of 18.1,2 Intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) are used to provide calories and essential fatty acids for patients who cannot intake a sufficient source of nutrition orally or enterally. Over the last several years, clinical practice has shifted away from using 100 percent soybean oil lipid emulsions – which was the standard of care for decades – to mixed lipid emulsions. Baxter’s Clinolipid contains the lowest amount of soybean oil (20 percent) and highest amount of olive oil (80 percent) of any mixed ILE available in the U.S. today.3,4 With more than 150 million doses worldwide,5 Clinolipid has been shown to be a safe and effective source of energy and essential fatty acids needed for growth and development in neonatal and pediatric patients.3 Specifically, Clinolipid: Is rich in omega-9 oleic acid, the most prevalent fatty acid in human breast milk;6 Minimizes the decline in post-natal arachidonic acid levels;7 Is supported by extensive PN admixture stability.8,9 Clinolipid is available to order in the U.S. today.

Indication CLINOLIPID injection is indicated in adults and pediatric patients, including term and preterm neonates as a source of calories and essential fatty acids for parenteral nutrition (PN) when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated. Important Risk Information The use of CLINOLIPID injection is contraindicated in patients with the following: − Known hypersensitivity to egg, soybean, peanut, or any of the active or inactive ingredients. − Severe disorders of lipid metabolism characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (serum triglycerides >1,000 mg/dL). 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. 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 of poor clearance of lipids from the circulation occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease (PNALD): Increased risk in patients who receive parenteral nutrition for greater than 2 weeks, especially preterm neonates. Monitor liver tests: if abnormalities occur, consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for signs or symptoms. Discontinue infusion if reactions occur. Risk of Infections, Fat Overload Syndrome, Refeeding Syndrome, Hypertriglyceridemia, and Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency (EFAD): Monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. − Ensure aseptic techniques are used for catheter placement, catheter maintenance, and preparation and administration of CLINOLIPID. − If signs or symptoms of fat overload syndrome occur, stop CLINOLIPID. − To prevent complications from Refeeding Syndrome, closely monitor severely malnourished patients and slowly increase their nutrient intake. − Measure serum triglycerides before the start of infusion and regularly throughout treatment. If triglyceride levels are above 400 mg/dL in adults, stop the CLINOLIPID infusion and monitor serum triglyceride levels to avoid clinical consequences of hypertriglyceridemia. − Laboratory testing using the triene to tetraene ratio may not be adequate to diagnose EFAD, and assessment of individual fatty acid levels may be needed. Aluminum Toxicity: Increased risk in patients with renal impairment, including preterm neonates. CLINOLIPID injection contains no more than 25 mcg/L of aluminum. Most common (≥5%) adverse drug reactions from clinical trials in adults were nausea and vomiting, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypoproteinemia, and abnormal liver function tests. Most common (≥5%) adverse reactions from clinical trials in pediatric patients were hyperbilirubinemia, patent ductus arteriosus, anemia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, bradycardia, feeding intolerance, neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage, increased alkaline phosphatase, atrial septal defect, hyponatremia, sepsis, and infantile apnea. The anticoagulant activity of coumarin derivatives, including warfarin, may be counteracted. Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information for CLINOLIPID.
