Adverse Reactions

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described in greater details elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Most common adverse reactions are: Prurigo Nodularis (incidence ≥1%): headache, dermatitis atopic, eczema, and eczema nummular. ( 6.1 ) Atopic Dermatitis (incidence ≥1%): headache (including migraine), arthralgia, urticaria, and myalgia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Galderma Laboratories, L.P. at 1-866-735-4137 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 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. Prurigo Nodularis A total of 508 adult subjects with prurigo nodularis were treated with NEMLUVIO in two placebo-controlled trials and an open label long-term extension trial. Of these, 375 subjects were exposed for at least 1 year in the drug development program for prurigo nodularis. The safety of NEMLUVIO in adult subjects with prurigo nodularis was evaluated in two randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials (OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2). Subjects were treated for up to 24 weeks in OLYMPIA 1 and up to 16 weeks in OLYMPIA 2. In these 2 trials, 370 subjects were treated with subcutaneous injections of NEMLUVIO, and 186 subjects received placebo [ see Clinical Studies (14.1 )]. Subjects weighing less than 90 kg in the NEMLUVIO group received an initial NEMLUVIO dose of 60 mg or placebo at Week 0, followed by a NEMLUVIO dose of 30 mg or placebo every 4 weeks. Subjects weighing 90 kg or more in the NEMLUVIO group received an initial NEMLUVIO dose of 60 mg or placebo at Week 0 followed by a NEMLUVIO dose of 60 mg or placebo every 4 weeks. During the treatment period in Trials OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2, the proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment because of adverse reactions was 4% in the NEMLUVIO group versus 3% in the placebo group. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% in the NEMLUVIO group, and for which the rate exceeds the rate in the placebo group through Week 16. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥1% of Adult Subjects with Prurigo Nodularis in the NEMLUVIO Group and Greater than Placebo in the OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2 Trials through Week 16. *includes: headache and tension headache Adverse Reaction NEMLUVIO N= 370 n (%) Placebo (N= 186) n (%) Headache* 23 (6) 6 (3) Dermatitis atopic 16 (4) 1 (0.5) Eczema 14 (4) 3 (2) Eczema nummular 11 (3) 0 Specific Adverse Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions (Ig-E mediated reactions), including one report of discrete facial (peri-ocular) angioedema, were reported in subjects treated with NEMLUVIO [ see Contraindications (4) ]. Atopic Dermatitis Adults and Pediatric Subjects 12 Years of Age and Older A total of 1148 subjects, including 180 subjects 12 to 17 years of age, with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis were treated with NEMLUVIO for at least 1 year during the drug development program. The safety of NEMLUVIO was evaluated in a pool of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter phase 3 trials (ARCADIA 1, ARCADIA 2). In these two trials, 1135 adult and pediatric subjects 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe AD were treated with subcutaneous injections of NEMLUVIO (initial dose of 60 mg, followed by 30 mg every 4 weeks), with concomitant topical corticosteroids (TCS) and/or topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI) for up to 16 weeks (Initial Treatment Period) [ see Clinical Studies (14.2 )]. After the Initial Treatment Period, subjects who responded to NEMLUVIO were re-randomized to receive NEMLUVIO 30 mg every 4 weeks, NEMLUVIO 30 mg every 8 weeks, or placebo every 4 weeks for the Maintenance Treatment Period (Week 16 through Week 48) [see Clinical Studies (14.2)] . The safety population during the Maintenance Treatment Period had a mean age of 31 to 33 years (median age of 26 to 29 years) for the NEMLUVIO cohorts. Week 0 to Week 16 In ARCADIA 1 and ARCADIA 2 trials through Week 16, the proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment because of adverse events was 2.3% in the NEMLUVIO every 4 weeks group and 2.2% in the placebo groups. Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% in the NEMLUVIO group, and for which the rate exceeds the rate in the placebo group during the first 16 weeks of treatment. Table 2: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥1% of Adult and Pediatric Subjects 12 Years of Age and Older with Atopic Dermatitis in the NEMLUVIO Group and Greater than in the Placebo Group in ARCADIA 1 and ARCADIA 2 Trials through Week 16 Adverse reactions NEMLUVIO N = 1135 n (%) Placebo N=584 n (%) Headache (incl. migraine) 52 (5) 22 (4) Arthralgia 12 (1) 1 (0.2) Urticaria 12 (1) 2 (0.3) Myalgia 11 (1) 1 (0.2) Assessment of the safety profile of NEMLUVIO in 505 subjects up through Week 48 in the ARCADIA 1 and ARCADIA 2 trials was generally consistent with the safety profile observed at Week 16. Specific Adverse Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions (Ig-E mediated reactions) were reported in subjects treated with NEMLUVIO. This included occurrence of mild urticaria that did not lead to discontinuation of treatment. Injection site reactions The incidence of injection site reactions during the initial treatment period was reported for 1.2% of subjects treated with NEMLUVIO and 0.9% of subjects receiving placebo; during the maintenance period, the incidence was 0.6% with NEMLUVIO every 4 weeks, 0% with NEMLUVIO every 8 weeks, and 0% with placebo. None of these reactions led to discontinuation of treatment. Herpes Zoster During the initial treatment period, herpes zoster infections were reported in 5 subjects (0.4%) treated with NEMLUVIO (including 1 case of ophthalmic herpes zoster) and no subjects receiving placebo. Cases of herpes zoster were mild to moderate in severity and did not lead to discontinuation of treatment. Pediatric Subjects 12 Years of Age and Older The safety of NEMLUVIO was assessed in 176 subjects 12 to 17 years of age with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis enrolled in the ARCADIA 1 or ARCADIA 2 trials who received at least one dose of NEMLUVIO from Week 0 to Week 16 in the primary safety population. The safety profile of NEMLUVIO in these subjects through Week 16 was consistent with the safety profile observed in adults with atopic dermatitis. The safety profile of NEMLUVIO in 98 subjects 12 to 17 years of age followed through Week 48 was consistent with the safety profile observed at Week 16.
