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 clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the label: Severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infusion-related reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥20%), including laboratory abnormalities, were: TEVIMBRA in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy: decreased neutrophil count, decreased sodium, increased glucose, anemia, fatigue, decreased appetite, increased AST, decreased potassium, increased serum creatinine, decreased calcium, increased ALT, diarrhea, stomatitis, and vomiting.
( 6.1 ) TEVIMBRA as a single agent: increased glucose, decreased hemoglobin, decreased lymphocytes, decreased sodium, decreased albumin, increased alkaline phosphatase, anemia, fatigue, increased AST, musculoskeletal pain, decreased weight, increased ALT, and cough.
( 6.1 ) TEVIMBRA in combination with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy: nausea, fatigue, decreased appetite, anemia, peripheral sensory neuropathy, vomiting, decreased platelet count, decreased neutrophil count, increased aspartate aminotransferase, diarrhea, abdominal pain, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased white blood cell count, decreased weight, and pyrexia.

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.
The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to TEVIMBRA as a single agent in 2390 patients enrolled in three randomized open-label, active-controlled studies (BGB-A317-301, RATIONALE-302, BGB-A317-303) and six open-label, single-arm studies (BGB-A317-209, BGB-A317-208, BGB-A317-204, BGB-A317-203, BGB-A317-102, BGB-A317_Study_001), which enrolled 307 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 2083 patients with advanced or recurrent tumors.
TEVIMBRA was administered at a dose of 200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks, except in study BGB-A317_Study_001 where patients also received other dosage regimens.
Among the 2390 patients, 38% were exposed for longer than 6 months, and 23% were exposed for longer than 12 months.
First-line Treatment of Unresectable or Metastatic Esophageal Carcinoma (ESCC) The safety of TEVIMBRA in combination with chemotherapy was evaluated in RATIONALE-306, a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, double-blind trial in patients with unresectable, advanced, or metastatic ESCC [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either TEVIMBRA 200 mg by intravenous infusion over 30-60 minutes every 3 weeks or placebo plus a chemotherapy doublet regimen.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions : ( 5.1 ) Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue, including the following: immune-mediated pneumonitis, immune-mediated colitis, immune-mediated hepatitis, immune-mediated endocrinopathies, immune-mediated nephritis with renal dysfunction, immune-mediated dermatologic adverse reactions, and solid organ transplant rejection.
Monitor for early identification and management.
Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment.
Withhold or permanently discontinue TEVIMBRA based on the severity of reaction.
Infusion-Related Reactions : Slow the rate of infusion, interrupt, or permanently discontinue based on severity of infusion reaction.
Like all medications, Tevimbra 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.
