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 adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hematologic Malignancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Delayed Platelet Engraftment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Neutrophil Engraftment Failure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Insertional Oncogenesis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Most common adverse reactions ≥ Grade 3 (incidence ≥ 20%) were stomatitis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, anemia, and leukopenia.

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.
Safety was based on patients with sickle cell disease in one open-label, single-arm clinical trial and one long-term follow-up study.
Of the 54 patients who initiated stem cell collection, the median (min, max) age across the studies was 25 (12, 43) years, 63% were males, 89% were Black or African American, 2% were Asian, 2% White/Caucasian and 4% were not reported.
The median (min, max) duration of follow-up was 42 (12, 87) months.
Mobilization and apheresis triggered SAEs of sickle cell crisis in 6 (14%, 6/44) patients who initiated mobilization in the intent-to-treat population.
All patients who initiated conditioning (100%, 45/45) experienced at least one adverse event attributed to conditioning.
The majority of conditioning-attributed events were non-serious and were consistent with the known effects of alkylating agents.
Thirty-three (73%, 33/45) patients who received LYFGENIA experienced at least one serious adverse event (SAE).
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Delayed Platelet Engraftment : Monitor patients frequently for thrombocytopenia and bleeding until platelet engraftment and platelet recovery are achieved.
( 5.2 ) Neutrophil Engraftment Failure: Monitor absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) after LYFGENIA infusion.
If neutrophil engraftment does not occur, administer rescue cells.
( 5.3 ) Insertional Oncogenesis : There is a potential risk of insertional oncogenesis after treatment with LYFGENIA.
( 5.4 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions during infusion.
Like all medications, Lyfgenia 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.
