6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Adverse Reactions in the Clinical Trials in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Pool of Adult Placebo-Controlled Trials for TRULICITY 0.75 mg and 1.5 mg Doses The data in Table 1 are derived from a pool of placebo-controlled trials and include 1,670 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus exposed to TRULICITY with a mean duration of exposure of 23.8 weeks [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
The mean age of patients was 56 years, 1% were 75 years or older and 53% were male.
The population was 69% White, 7% Black or African American, 13% Asian;
30% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
At baseline, the population had diabetes for an average of 8 years, a mean HbA1c of 8.0%, and 2.5% of the population reported retinopathy.
Baseline estimated renal function was normal or mildly impaired (eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) in 96%.
Table 1 shows adverse reactions, excluding hypoglycemia, occurring in ≥5% of TRULICITY treated adult patients and more commonly than placebo in a pool of placebo-controlled trials.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Thyroid C-cell Tumors: See Boxed Warning ( 5.1 ).
Pancreatitis: Has been reported in clinical trials.
Discontinue promptly if pancreatitis is suspected.
Do not restart if pancreatitis is confirmed ( 5.2 ).
Hypoglycemia: Concomitant use with an insulin secretagogue or insulin may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia.
Like all medications, Trulicity 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.
