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 adverse reactions are also discussed in greater details in other sections of the labeling: • Hyperglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Cutaneous Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%), including laboratory abnormalities, were diarrhea, cutaneous adverse reactions, increased random glucose, decreased lymphocytes, decreased hemoglobin, increased fasting glucose, nausea, fatigue, decreased leukocytes, increased triglycerides, decreased neutrophils, increased creatinine, vomiting and stomatitis.

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 population described in WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to TRUQAP 400 mg orally, twice a day for 4 days followed by 3 days off, in combination with fulvestrant, in 355 patients in CAPItello-291 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Among the 355 patients who received TRUQAP, 52% were exposed for 6 months or longer, and 27% were exposed for greater than one year.
In this safety population, the most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions including laboratory abnormalities were diarrhea (72%), cutaneous adverse reactions (58%), increased random glucose (57%), decreased lymphocytes (47%), decreased hemoglobin (45%), increased fasting glucose (37%), nausea and fatigue (35% each), decreased leukocytes (32%), increased triglycerides (27%), decreased neutrophils (23%), increased creatinine (22%), vomiting (21%), and stomatitis (20%).
CAPItello-291 The safety of TRUQAP was evaluated in CAPItello-291, a clinical trial including 288 adult patients (155 patients in TRUQAP with fulvestrant arm and 133 patients in placebo with fulvestrant arm) whose breast cancer had one or more PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN -alterations [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Among patients who received TRUQAP, 61% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 30% were exposed for greater than one year.
Of the 155 patients who received TRUQAP with fulvestrant, the median age was 58 years (range 36 to 84);
female (99%);
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hyperglycemia: TRUQAP can cause hyperglycemia.
Evaluate blood glucose levels prior to starting and at regular intervals during treatment.
Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue TRUQAP based on severity.
( 2.2 , 2.4 , 5.1 ) • Diarrhea: TRUQAP caused diarrhea in most patients.
Advise patients to increase oral fluids, start antidiarrheal treatment, and consult with a healthcare provider if diarrhea occurs while taking TRUQAP.
Like all medications, Truqap 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.
