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 the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to PADCEV 1.25 mg/kg in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC in 167 patients in EV-303 (NCT03924895) and for the treatment of locally advanced or mUC in 564 patients in EV-302 (NCT04223856) and EV-103 (NCT03288545);
PADCEV as a single agent at 1.25 mg/kg in 720 patients in EV-301 (NCT03474107), EV-201 (NCT03219333), EV-203 (NCT04995419), EV-101 (NCT02091999), and EV-102 (NCT03070990).
Ocular disorders reflect 384 patients in EV‑201, EV-101, and EV-
Among 167 patients receiving PADCEV in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab for the treatment of MIBC, the most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were increased glucose, decreased hemoglobin, increased aspartate aminotransferase, rash, increased alanine aminotransferase, fatigue, pruritus, increased creatinine, decreased sodium, decreased lymphocytes, peripheral neuropathy, increased potassium, alopecia, dysgeusia, diarrhea, decreased appetite, constipation, nausea, decreased phosphate, urinary tract infection, dry eye, and decreased weight.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hyperglycemia: Diabetic ketoacidosis may occur in patients with and without preexisting diabetes mellitus, which may be fatal.
Closely monitor blood glucose levels in patients with, or at risk for, diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia.
Withhold PADCEV if blood glucose is >250 mg/dL.
( 2.2 , 5.2 ) • Pneumonitis/Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): Severe, life-threatening or fatal pneumonitis/ILD may occur.
Withhold PADCEV for Grade 2 pneumonitis/ILD and consider dose reduction.
Like all medications, Padcev Ejfv 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.
