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 discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label: Cardiomyopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Infusion Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Embryo-Fetal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Pulmonary Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-induced Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Adjuvant Breast Cancer • Most common adverse reactions (≥ 5%) are headache, diarrhea, nausea, and chills.
( 6.1 ) Metastatic Breast Cancer • Most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) are fever, chills, headache, infection, congestive heart failure, insomnia, cough, and rash.
( 6.1 ) Metastatic Gastric Cancer • Most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) are neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, stomatitis, weight loss, upper respiratory tract infections, fever, thrombocytopenia, mucosal inflammation, nasopharyngitis, and dysgeusia.

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 most common adverse reactions in patients receiving trastuzumab products in the adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer setting are fever, nausea, vomiting, infusion reactions, diarrhea, infections, increased cough, headache, fatigue, dyspnea, rash, neutropenia, anemia, and myalgia.
Adverse reactions requiring interruption or discontinuation of trastuzumab product treatment include CHF, significant decline in left ventricular cardiac function, severe infusion reactions, and pulmonary toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .
In the metastatic gastric cancer setting, the most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) that were increased (≥ 5% difference) in the trastuzumab arm as compared to the chemotherapy alone arm were neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, stomatitis, weight loss, upper respiratory tract infections, fever, thrombocytopenia, mucosal inflammation, nasopharyngitis, and dysgeusia.
The most common adverse reactions which resulted in discontinuation of treatment on the trastuzumab-containing arm in the absence of disease progression were infection, diarrhea, and febrile neutropenia.
Adjuvant Breast Cancer The information below reflects exposure to one-year trastuzumab therapy across three randomized, open-label studies, NSABP B31, NCCTG N9831, and HERA, with (n = 3678) or without (n = 3363) trastuzumab in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Exacerbation of Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia.
( 5.5 , 6.1 ) 5.1 Cardiomyopathy Trastuzumab products can cause left ventricular cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, hypertension, disabling cardiac failure, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac death [see Boxed Warning: Cardiomyopathy ] .
Trastuzumab products can also cause asymptomatic decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
There is a 4 to 6 fold increase in the incidence of symptomatic myocardial dysfunction among patients receiving trastuzumab products as a single agent or in combination therapy compared with those not receiving trastuzumab products.
The highest absolute incidence occurs when a trastuzumab product is administered with an anthracycline.
Like all medications, Ogivri 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.
