PADCEV® Adverse Reactions

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 pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to PADCEV in combination with pembrolizumab at 1.25 mg/kg in 564 patients in EV-302 and EV-103 and PADCEV as a single agent at 1.25 mg/kg in 720 patients in EV-301, EV-201, EV-203 (NCT04995419), EV-101 (NCT02091999), and EV-102 (NCT03070990). Ocular disorders reflect 384 patients in EV-201, EV-101, and EV-102. Among 564 patients receiving PADCEV in combination with pembrolizumab, 59% were exposed for >6 months, and 24% were exposed for ≥12 months. In this pooled population, the most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased creatinine, rash, increased glucose, peripheral neuropathy, increased lipase, decreased lymphocytes, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased hemoglobin, fatigue, decreased sodium, decreased phosphate, decreased albumin, pruritus, diarrhea, alopecia, decreased weight, decreased appetite, increased urate, decreased neutrophils, decreased potassium, dry eye, nausea, constipation, increased potassium, dysgeusia, urinary tract infection and decreased platelets. Among 720 patients receiving PADCEV as a single agent, 37% were exposed for >6 months, and 14% were exposed for ≥12 months. In this pooled population, the most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were increased glucose, increased aspartate aminotransferase, decreased lymphocytes, increased creatinine, rash, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, decreased albumin, decreased hemoglobin, alopecia, decreased appetite, decreased neutrophils, decreased sodium, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased phosphate, diarrhea, nausea, pruritus, increased urate, dry eye, dysgeusia, constipation, increased lipase, decreased weight, decreased platelets, abdominal pain, dry skin.

6.2 Post Marketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of PADCEV. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Epidermal necrosis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
