Complete adverse effect profile including incidence rates and management
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 most common non-laboratory adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) are: viral infectious disorders, bacterial infectious disorders, infection – pathogen unspecified, pyrexia, hemorrhage, edema, abdominal pain and hypertension ( 6.1 ).
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mesoblast at toll-free phone #1-844-889-MESO (6376) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
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.
The safety data described in this section reflect exposure to RYONCIL in 54 patients in Study MSB-GVHD001 for the treatment of SR-aGvHD.
Patients received intravenous infusion of RYONCIL at a dosage of 2 x 10 6 MSCs/kg twice a week for four consecutive weeks, for a total of eight infusions.
Patients with partial or mixed response at Day 28 received additional infusions of RYONCIL 2 x 10 6 MSCs/kg once a week for an additional four weeks [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
The median number of doses administered were 10 (range 1 to 16), and the treatment was administered over a median of 43 days (range 1 to 104 days).
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 35 patients (65%) including pyrexia (n=5;9%), respiratory failure (n=5;9%), pneumatosis intestinalis (n=4;7%) and staphylococcal bacteremia (n=2;<5%).
Eight patients had discontinuation of RYONCIL treatment due to the following: acute infusion reactions (n=3), hypotension (n=1), gastroenteritis (n=1), and death (n=3).
Table 2 summarizes most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥10% patients in Study MSB-GVHD
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity/Acute Infusion reactions : Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions during infusion and premedicate with corticosteroids and antihistamines.
( 5.1 ) Transmission of Infectious Agents: RYONCIL may transmit infectious agents.
( 5.2 ) Ectopic Tissue Formation: Ectopic tissue formation may occur following treatment with RYONCIL.
( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity and Acute Infusion Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions including acute infusion reactions have occurred with RYONCIL administration [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur due to DMSO and trace amounts of porcine or bovine proteins.
Like all medications, Ryoncil 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.
