SIDE EFFECTS

The most common adverse reactions reported in clinical trials (≥1%), were headache, pain in the extremities, injection site pain, and increase in fibrin D dimer levels.

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.

During clinical development, TRETTEN was administered to 77 subjects with congenital factor XIII A-subunit deficiency (3:2, male: female ratio) for a total of 1990 doses. Fifty subjects (65%) were between the ages of 18 and 77 years (received 1338 doses), 21 subjects (27%) were between the ages of 6 and less than 18 years old (received 560 doses), and 6 subjects (8%) were less than 6 years old (received 92 doses). Subjects were exposed for up to 4.5 years.

Of the 77 subjects, 68 received 1979 monthly doses of 35 IU/kg of TRETTEN for routine prophylaxis of bleeding.

Eleven single doses of TRETTEN have been administered to nine subjects for pharmacokinetic investigations.

The adverse drug reactions reported included headache, pain in the extremities, pain at the injection site, and increase in fibrin D dimer levels (without evidence of thromboembolic events).

Immunogenicity

The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to TRETTEN with the incidence of antibodies to other products may be misleading.

Transient non-neutralizing antibodies were seen in one out of 50 healthy subjects after one dose, four out of 77 trial subjects (age < 18 years) with congenital factor XIII A-subunit deficiency after one or two doses (3 discontinued from the trial), and in one subject (age < 18 years) in a post marketing safety study after 3.5 years of treatment. In two subjects, the non-neutralizing antibodies disappeared after continued treatment with TRETTEN. In all cases, the nonneutralizing antibodies were found to be of no clinical significance. No subjects developed neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) against TRETTEN during clinical trials.
