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.
Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer The safety of TABRECTA was evaluated in GEOMETRY mono-1 [see Clinical Studies (14)] .
Patients received TABRECTA 400 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (N = 373).
Among patients who received TABRECTA, 37% were exposed for at least 6 months and 22% were exposed for at least one year.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 53% of patients who received TABRECTA.
Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients included dyspnea (7%), pneumonia (7%), pleural effusion (4.3%), musculoskeletal pain (3.8%), general physical health deterioration (2.9%), ILD/pneumonitis (2.7%), edema (2.4%), and vomiting (2.4%).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 0.5% of patients who received TABRECTA, including pneumonitis (0.3%) and death, not otherwise specified (0.3%).
Permanent discontinuation of TABRECTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 17% of patients.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis : Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis.
Permanently discontinue TABRECTA in patients with ILD/pneumonitis.
( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Hepatotoxicity : Monitor liver function tests.
Withhold, dose reduce, or permanently discontinue TABRECTA based on severity.
( 2.3 , 5.2 ) Pancreatic Toxicity : Monitor amylase and lipase levels.
Like all medications, Tabrecta 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.
