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 trial of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Adverse Reactions From Trial 2 The safety of ELFABRIO in adults with confirmed Fabry disease who had been previously treated with agalsidase beta was evaluated in Trial 2 which included a total of 52 ELFABRIO-treated patients (29 male, 23 female aged 20 to 60 years old) with Fabry disease [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] .
Patients received 1 mg/kg of ELFABRIO given intravenously every 2 weeks for at least 104 weeks.
The most common adverse reactions (≥15%) reported with ELFABRIO were infusion-associated reactions which occurred in 17 patients (32%);
followed by, nasopharyngitis and headache each in 11 patients (21%);
diarrhea in 10 patients (19%);
fatigue and nausea each in 9 patients (17%);
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Infusion-Associated Reactions: If severe IARs occur, discontinue ELFABRIO and initiate appropriate medical treatment.
( 5.2 ) Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis: Monitor serum creatinine and urinary protein to creatinine ratio.
Discontinue ELFABRIO if glomerulonephritis is suspected, until a diagnostic evaluation can be conducted.
( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported in ELFABRIO-treated patients.
In clinical trials, 20 (14%) of ELFABRIO-treated patients experienced hypersensitivity reactions.
Like all medications, Elfabrio 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.
