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.
Adverse Reactions in Adults with Plaque Psoriasis In clinical trials, a total of 1823 adult subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis received TREMFYA.
Of these, 1393 subjects were exposed to TREMFYA for at least 6 months and 728 subjects were exposed for at least 1 year.
Data from two placebo- and active-controlled trials (PsO1 and PsO2) in 1441 subjects (mean age 44 years;
82% white) were pooled to evaluate the safety of TREMFYA (100 mg administered subcutaneously at Weeks 0 and 4, followed by every 8 weeks).
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions : Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur.
( 5.1 ) Infections : TREMFYA may increase the risk of infections.
Do not initiate treatment with TREMFYA in patients with clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated.
If such an infection develops, discontinue TREMFYA until the infection resolves.
( 5.2 ) Tuberculosis (TB) : Evaluate for TB prior to initiating treatment with TREMFYA.
Like all medications, Tremfya 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.
