No serious adverse reaction was reported in more than 1 patient treated with ULTOMIRIS.
One fatal case of sepsis was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) The safety of ULTOMIRIS has been evaluated in 175 adult patients with gMG, including 169 patients who received at least one dose of ULTOMIRIS, 142 patients who were exposed for at least 6 months, and 95 who were exposed for at least 12 months [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ].
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ALXN1210-MG-306), the most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 10%) with ULTOMIRIS were diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infection.
Table 12 describes adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 5% or more and at greater frequency than placebo.
Serious adverse reactions were reported in 20 (23%) patients with gMG receiving ULTOMIRIS and in 14 (16%) patients receiving placebo.
The most frequent serious adverse reactions were infections reported in at least 8 (9%) patients treated with ULTOMIRIS and in 4 (4%) patients treated with placebo [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] .
Of these infections, one fatal case of COVID-19 pneumonia was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS and one case of infection led to discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS.

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 ULTOMIRIS exposure.
Adverse Reactions from Postmarketing Spontaneous Reports Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Cases of cholestatic or mixed pattern liver injury with increased serum liver enzymes and bilirubin levels have been reported in adult and pediatric patients with aHUS who were treated with another C5 complement inhibitor.
These events occurred within 3 to 27 days after starting treatment.
The median time to resolution (or return to baseline) was approximately 3 weeks.
( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions in patients with aHUS (incidence ≥ 20%) were upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, hypertension, and pyrexia.
( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions in adult patients with gMG (incidence ≥ 10%) were diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infection.
( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions in adult patients with NMOSD (incidence ≥ 10%) were COVID-19, headache, back pain, arthralgia, and urinary tract infection.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) The safety of ULTOMIRIS has been evaluated in 175 adult patients with gMG, including 169 patients who received at least one dose of ULTOMIRIS, 142 patients who were exposed for at least 6 months, and 95 who were exposed for at least 12 months [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ].
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ALXN1210-MG-306), the most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 10%) with ULTOMIRIS were diarrhea and upper respiratory tract infection.
Table 12 describes adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 5% or more and at greater frequency than placebo.
Serious adverse reactions were reported in 20 (23%) patients with gMG receiving ULTOMIRIS and in 14 (16%) patients receiving placebo.
The most frequent serious adverse reactions were infections reported in at least 8 (9%) patients treated with ULTOMIRIS and in 4 (4%) patients treated with placebo [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] .
Of these infections, one fatal case of COVID-19 pneumonia was identified in a patient treated with ULTOMIRIS and one case of infection led to discontinuation of ULTOMIRIS.

In Study ALXN1210-NMO-307, an open-label multicenter trial, the most frequent adverse reactions (≥10%) with ULTOMIRIS were COVID-19, headache, back pain, urinary tract infection and arthralgia.
Table 13 describes adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of 5% or more in patients treated with ULTOMIRIS.
Serious adverse reactions were reported in 8 (13.8%) patients with NMOSD receiving ULTOMIRIS.

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 ULTOMIRIS exposure.
Adverse Reactions from Postmarketing Spontaneous Reports Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Cases of cholestatic or mixed pattern liver injury with increased serum liver enzymes and bilirubin levels have been reported in adult and pediatric patients with aHUS who were treated with another C5 complement inhibitor.
These events occurred within 3 to 27 days after starting treatment.
The median time to resolution (or return to baseline) was approximately 3 weeks.
