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 clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Ocular Surface Disorders [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Infusion-Related Reactions (IRR) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, decreased appetite, and peripheral edema.
( 6.1 ) The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) were decreased lymphocytes, increased glucose, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased gamma glutamyl transferase, decreased phosphorus, decreased sodium, decreased hemoglobin and decreased calcium.

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.
LUMINOSITY The safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below reflects exposure to EMRELIS in 168 patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR wild-type non-squamous NSCLC with c-Met protein overexpression who received EMRELIS as a single agent administered at 1.9 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks in the LUMINOSITY study [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )].
Among patients who received EMRELIS, 42% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 11% were exposed for greater than one year.
The median age of patients who received EMRELIS was 64.5 years (range: 33 to 83 years);
70% were male;
65% were White;
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Peripheral Neuropathy : Monitor patients for new or worsening peripheral neuropathy.
Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue EMRELIS based on the severity.
( 5.1 ) I nterstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/ Pneumonitis : Severe, life-threatening or fatal ILD/pneumonitis may occur.
Withhold or permanently discontinue EMRELIS based on the severity.
( 5.2 ) Ocular Surface Disorders : Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of ocular surface disorders, including vision changes.
Like all medications, Emrelis 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.
