OPDUALAG SIDE EFFECTS

SIDE EFFECTS

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling.

• Severe and Fatal IMARs
• Infusion-Related Reactions
• Complications of Allogeneic HSCT

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 safety of OPDUALAG was evaluated in RELATIVITY-047, a randomized (1:1), double-blinded trial in 714 patients with previously untreated metastatic or unresectable melanoma. Patients received intravenous OPDUALAG (nivolumab 480 mg and relatlimab 160 mg) every 4 weeks (n=355) or nivolumab 480 mg by intravenous infusion every 4 weeks (n=359). Patients were treated with OPDUALAG or nivolumab until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure was 6 months (range: 0 to 31 months) in OPDUALAG-treated patients and 5 months (range: 0 to 32 months) in nivolumab-treated patients.

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 36% of patients treated with OPDUALAG. The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported in ≥1% of patients treated with OPDUALAG were adrenal insufficiency (1.4%), anemia (1.4%), colitis (1.4%), pneumonia (1.4%), acute myocardial infarction (1.1%), back pain (1.1%), diarrhea (1.1%), myocarditis (1.1%), and pneumonitis (1.1%). Fatal adverse reaction occurred in 3 (0.8%) patients who were treated with OPDUALAG; these included hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, acute edema of the lung, and pneumonitis.

OPDUALAG was permanently discontinued due to adverse reactions in 18% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of OPDUALAG in ≥1% of patients included myocarditis (1.7%) and pneumonitis (1.4%).

Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 43% of patients who received OPDUALAG. Adverse reactions that required dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients who received OPDUALAG were diarrhea (3.9%), troponin increased (3.9%), AST increased (2.8%), troponin T increased (2.8%), ALT increased (2.3%), arthralgia (2.3%), hypothyroidism (2.3%), anemia (2%), fatigue (2%), pneumonitis (2%), and rash (2%).

The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions that occurred in patients treated with OPDUALAG were musculoskeletal pain (45%), fatigue (39%), rash (28%), pruritus (25%), and diarrhea (24%). The most common (≥20%) laboratory abnormalities that occurred in patients treated with OPDUALAG were decreased hemoglobin (37%), decreased lymphocytes (32%), increased AST (30%), increased ALT (26%), and decreased sodium (24%).

Tables 1 and 2 summarize both the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in RELATIVITY-047.

Clinically relevant adverse reactions in <15% of patients who received OPDUALAG included vitiligo, adrenal insufficiency, myocarditis, and hepatitis.
