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 with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Adults The adverse reactions reported below are specific to the clinical trials with sumatriptan and naproxen sodium 85/500 mg.

See also the full prescribing information for naproxen and sumatriptan products.

Table 1 lists adverse reactions that occurred in 2 placebo-controlled clinical trials (Study 1 and 2) in adult patients who received 1 dose of study drug.

Only adverse reactions that occurred at a frequency of 2% or more in any group treated with sumatriptan and naproxen sodium 85/500 mg and that occurred at a frequency greater than the placebo group are included in Table 1.

There were insufficient data to assess the impact of race on the incidence of adverse reactions.

Pediatric Patients 12 to 17 Years of Age In a placebo controlled clinical trial that evaluated pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age who received 1 dose of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium 10/60 mg, 30/180 mg, or 85/500 mg, adverse reactions occurred in 13% of patients who received 10/60 mg, 9% of patients who received 30/180 mg, 13% who received 85/500 mg, and 8% who received placebo.

No patients who received sumatriptan and naproxen sodium experienced adverse reactions leading to withdrawal from the trial.

The incidence of adverse reactions in pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age was comparable across all 3 doses compared with placebo.

Table 2 lists adverse reactions that occurred in a placebo-controlled trial in pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age at a frequency of 2% or more with sumatriptan and naproxen sodium and were more frequent than the placebo group.

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 Appendages: exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and fixed drug eruption (FDE) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.14) ].
