Tazverik Adverse Reactions

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described in Precautions: Secondary Malignancies.
Clinical Trial 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 with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma: The safety of TAZVERIK was evaluated in two cohorts (Cohorts 4 and 5) of Study E7438-G000-101 that enrolled patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma [see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Clinical Studies under Actions]. Patients received TAZVERIK 800 mg orally twice daily (n=99). Among patients who received TAZVERIK, 68% were exposed for 6 months or longer, 39% were exposed for 12 months or longer, and 21% were exposed for 18 months or longer.
The median age was 62 years (range 36 to 87 years), 54% were male, and 95% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 1 to 11). Patients were required to have a creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min per the Cockcroft and Gault formula.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 30% of patients who received TAZVERIK. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients who received TAZVERIK were general physical health deterioration, abdominal pain, pneumonia, sepsis, and anemia.
Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 8% of patients who received TAZVERIK. Adverse reaction resulting in permanent discontinuation in ≥2% of patients was second primary malignancy.
Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 28% of patients who received TAZVERIK. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruptions in ≥3% of patients were thrombocytopenia and fatigue.
Dose reduction due to an adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients who received TAZVERIK.
The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, and abdominal pain.

Clinically relevant adverse reactions occurring in <10% of patients who received TAZVERIK included: Infection: sepsis (2%), pneumonia (2%), and herpes zoster (2%).
