Yartemlea is administered once weekly as an intravenous infusion by a healthcare professional.

Serious side effects and warnings

Serious Infections

Yartemlea can increase your risk of serious, potentially life-threatening infections. In clinical trials, 36% of patients developed serious infections, including sepsis, pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and fungal infections. Watch for these infection warning signs and seek medical care immediately:

  • Fever or chills
  • Persistent cough or trouble breathing
  • Unusual fatigue or weakness
  • Painful urination or frequent urination
  • Diarrhea or abdominal pain
  • Skin redness, warmth, or swelling
  • Confusion or mental changes

If you have an active infection when starting Yartemlea, your doctor will monitor you closely. Don't ignore symptoms—report any signs of infection to your healthcare provider right away.

To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Omeros Corporation at 1-844-YARTEM1 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Yartemlea (narsoplimab) works by blocking a specific enzyme (MASP-2) in one branch of the immune system's complement pathway. This prevents immune-triggered damage to blood vessel linings and cells, which occurs in TA-TMA, which is a transplant complication. Yartemlea only targets this one pathway, leaving other immune functions intact.

Yartemlea belongs to the drug class called MASP-2 inhibitors.
