6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The data described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to Vectibix in four clinical trials in which patients received Vectibix: Study 20020408, an open-label, multinational, randomized, controlled, monotherapy clinical trial (N = 463) evaluating Vectibix with best supportive care (BSC) versus BSC alone in patients with EGFR-expressing mCRC; Study 20050203, a randomized, controlled trial (N = 1183) in patients with wild-type KRAS mCRC that evaluated Vectibix in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy versus FOLFOX chemotherapy alone; CodeBreaK 300, a randomized controlled trial (N = 160) evaluating Vectibix in combination with sotorasib versus the investigator's choice of standard of care (trifluridine/tipiracil or regorafenib) in patients with KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC; and CodeBreak 101, an open-label, non-randomized trial evaluating sotorasib as a monotherapy and in combination with other drugs in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced solid tumors, including patients with KRAS G12C-mutated mCRC who received Vectibix in combination with sotorasib (N = 79).
Safety data for Study 20050203 are limited to 656 patients with wild-type KRAS mCRC.
The safety profile of Vectibix in patients with wild-type RAS mCRC is similar with that seen in patients with wild-type KRAS mCRC.
Safety data for CodeBreaK 300 are limited to 47 patients who received Vectibix in combination with sotorasib 960 mg.
Vectibix Monotherapy In Study 20020408, the most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) with Vectibix were skin rash with variable presentations, paronychia, fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea.
The most common (> 5%) serious adverse reactions in the Vectibix arm were general physical health deterioration and intestinal obstruction.
The most frequently reported adverse reactions for Vectibix leading to withdrawal were general physical health deterioration (n = 2) and intestinal obstruction (n = 2).
For Study 20020408, the data described in Table 1 and in other sections below, except where noted, reflect exposure to Vectibix administered to patients with mCRC as a monotherapy at the recommended dose and schedule (6 mg/kg every 2 weeks).

Infusion Reactions Infusional toxicity manifesting as fever, chills, dyspnea, bronchospasm or hypotension was assessed within 24 hours of an infusion during the clinical study.
Vital signs and temperature were measured within 30 minutes prior to initiation and upon completion of the Vectibix infusion.
The use of premedication was not standardized in the clinical trials.
Thus, the utility of premedication in preventing the first or subsequent episodes of infusional toxicity is unknown.
Across clinical trials of Vectibix monotherapy, 3% (24/725) experienced infusion reactions of which < 1% (3/725) were severe (NCI-CTC Grade 3-4).
In one patient, Vectibix was permanently discontinued for a serious infusion reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 , 2.3) ] .
Vectibix in Combination with Sotorasib The safety of Vectibix in combination with sotorasib was evaluated in the CodeBreaK 300 study [see Clinical Studies (14.4) ] .
Patients with KRAS G12C- mutated mCRC received Vectibix 6 mg/kg intravenous every 2 weeks in combination with sotorasib 960 mg orally once daily (N = 47), Vectibix 6 mg/kg intravenous every 2 weeks in combination with sotorasib 240 mg orally once daily (N = 50), or the investigator's choice of standard of care (SOC) consisting of trifluridine/tipiracil or regorafenib (N = 50).
Among the 47 patients who received Vectibix in combination with sotorasib 960 mg, 36% were exposed to Vectibix for 6 months or longer and 4.3% were exposed for greater than 12 months.
The median age of patients who received Vectibix in combination with sotorasib 960 mg was 63 years (range: 37-79 years); 38% were age 65 years or older; 49% were female; 79% were White, and 13% were Asian.

Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 2 patients were rash, hypomagnesemia, and keratitis.
Dosage reductions of Vectibix due to an adverse reaction occurred in 17% of patients.
The adverse reaction which required dose reduction in ≥ 2 patients was rash.
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) in patients receiving Vectibix in combination with sotorasib 960 mg were rash, dry skin, diarrhea, stomatitis, fatigue and musculoskeletal pain.
The most common Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities in ≥ 2 patients (4.3%) were decreased magnesium, decreased potassium, decreased corrected calcium, and increased potassium.
