Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common (incidence ≥2%) adverse reactions are application site reactions.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience 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.
The safety of FILSUVEZ was evaluated in EASE, a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial in 223 adult and pediatric subjects with inherited EB.
During the double-blind phase of EASE, subjects received topical treatment with either FILSUVEZ or a placebo gel on partial-thickness wounds every 1 to 4 days for a total of 90 days.
Treated wounds were covered with non-adhesive dressings.
Following completion of the double-blind phase, all subjects received FILSUVEZ for a total of 24 months during the open-label phase [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Table 1 presents adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2% of subjects treated with FILSUVEZ during the 90-day double-blind phase of EASE and at a greater frequency than in the placebo gel group.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions : If signs or symptoms of hypersensitivity occur, discontinue use immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.
( 5.1 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Local hypersensitivity and skin reactions have been reported in patients treated with FILSUVEZ, including urticaria and dermatitis.
If signs and symptoms of local or systemic hypersensitivity occur, discontinue FILSUVEZ immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.
Like all medications, Filsuvez 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.
