The following adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in labeling:
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
MagnetisMM-3
The safety of ELREXFIO was evaluated in MagnetisMM-3 [see Clinical Studies (14)]. The safety population described (n = 183) includes patients who received the recommended dosage regimen of 12 mg subcutaneously on Day 1, 32 mg on Day 4, and 76 mg once weekly starting on Day 8. Among patients who received ELREXFIO, 42% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 9% were exposed for one year or longer.
The median age of patients who received ELREXFIO was 68 years (range: 36 to 88 years); 48% were female; 61% were White, 10% were Hispanic/Latino, 9% were Asian, and 6% were Black or African American.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 68% of patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing schedule. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included pneumonia (25%), sepsis (13%), CRS (13%), upper respiratory tract infection (4.4%), acute kidney injury (3.8%), urinary tract infection (3.3%), COVID-19 (3.3%), encephalopathy (3.3%), pyrexia (2.2%), and febrile neutropenia (2.2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients including pneumonia (3.3%), sepsis (2.7%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (0.5%), cardio-respiratory arrest (0.5%), cardiogenic shock (0.5%), cardiopulmonary failure (0.5%), COVID-19 (0.5%), failure to thrive (0.5%), and pulmonary embolism (0.5%).
Permanent discontinuations of ELREXFIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 17% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of ELREXFIO in >2% of patients included septic shock (2.2%).
Dosage interruptions of ELREXFIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 73% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in dose interruptions of ELREXFIO in >5% of patients included neutropenia, pneumonia, COVID-19, upper respiratory tract infection, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.
The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were CRS, fatigue, injection site reaction, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, musculoskeletal pain, pneumonia, decreased appetite, rash, cough, nausea, and pyrexia. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥30%) were decreased lymphocytes, decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, decreased white blood cells, and decreased platelets.
Table 8 summarizes adverse reactions in MagnetisMM-3.
Adverse reactions were graded based on CTCAE Version 5.0, with the exception of CRS, which was graded based on the ASTCT 2019 criteria. | ||
