6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because the clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The identification of potential adverse drug reactions was based on safety data from the phase 3 clinical trial in which 330 patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis were randomized 1:1 to either TAVNEOS or prednisone [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
The mean age of patients was 60.9 years (range of 13 to 88 years), with a predominance of men (56.4%) and Caucasians (84.2%).
The cumulative exposure to TAVNEOS was 138.7 patient-years.
Additionally, two phase 2 trials were conducted in ANCA-associated vasculitis.
The cumulative clinical trial exposure from the phase 2 and 3 trials equals 212.3 patient-years.
The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported more frequently in patients treated with TAVNEOS than with prednisone were pneumonia (4.8% TAVNEOS vs.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hepatotoxicity: Increase in liver function tests occurred in clinical trials.
Obtain liver function tests before initiation of therapy and monitor as clinically indicated.
( 5.1 ) Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions: Cases of angioedema occurred in a clinical trial.
Observe for signs and symptoms of angioedema and manage accordingly.
( 5.2 ) Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Reactivation: Cases of HBV reactivation occurred in a clinical trial.
Like all medications, Tavneos can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
