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 rates observed in practice.
The safety of MARGENZA was evaluated in HER2-positive breast cancer patients who received two or more prior anti-HER2 regimens in SOPHIA [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ].
Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either MARGENZA 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy.
Among patients who received MARGENZA, 40% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 11% were exposed for greater than one year.
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 16% of patients who received MARGENZA.
Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients included febrile neutropenia (1.5%), neutropenia/neutrophil count decrease (1.5%) and infusion related reactions (1.1%).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.1% of patients who received MARGENZA, including viral pneumonia (0.8%) and aspiration pneumonia (0.4%).
Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 3% of patients who received MARGENZA.
Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation in > 1% of patients who received MARGENZA included left ventricular dysfunction and infusion-related reactions.
Dosage interruptions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 11% of patients who received MARGENZA.
Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in > 5% of patients who received MARGENZA included infusion-related reactions.
Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions in SOPHIA.
