Complete adverse effect profile including incidence rates and management
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 potential clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labelling: • Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .
• QTc Interval Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .
The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions are fatigue, headache, vomiting, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain.
The most common (≥2%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities are decreased lymphocytes, decreased calcium, and increased alanine aminotransferase.

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 pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to MODEYSO at the recommended weight-based dose taken until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in 376 adult and pediatric patients with glioma across four open-label clinical studies (ONC006, ONC013, ONC014, and ONC018) [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
Of the 376 patients who received MODEYSO, 35% were exposed for 6 months, and 17% were exposed for 1 year.
The median age was 23 years (range: 3 to 80): 30% were 2 to 11 years old, 11% were 12 to 17 years old, 55% were 18 to 64 years old, and 3.7% were 65 years or older.
Fifty-two percent (52%) were female;
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypersensitivity: If clinically significant hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis occur, immediately discontinue MODEYSO and initiate appropriate medical treatment and supportive care.
( 5.1 ) • QTc Interval Prolongation: MODEYSO causes concentration dependent QTc interval prolongation.
Interrupt or reduce the dose of MODEYSO in patients who develop QT prolongation, and permanently discontinue MODEYSO in patients with signs of life-threatening arrhythmias.
( 5.2 , 12.2 ) • Embryo-fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm.
Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception.
Like all medications, Modeyso 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.
