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 safety of ANDEMBRY reflects the exposure in a total of 164 adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with hereditary angioedema (HAE) from a placebo-controlled study, VANGUARD [see Clinical Studies (14) ] , and an open-label clinical study.

Among the 164 patients who received at least one dose of ANDEMBRY 200 mg subcutaneously, 153 (93%) patients were exposed for at least one year.

The median duration of ANDEMBRY treatment was 2.6 years.

The safety data below is based on the 6-month placebo-controlled study (VANGUARD), in which ANDEMBRY 400 mg was administered subcutaneously as a loading dose followed by 200 mg (N=39) every month in patients with HAE.

Demographics of the patients in this study are summarized in Clinical Studies [see Clinical Studies (14) ].

The safety of ANDEMBRY was similar across all subgroups of patients, including analysis by age, sex and geographic region.

Table 1 provides the most common adverse reactions with ANDEMBRY with incidence ≥7% and more common than placebo.

Table 1 Adverse Reactions with ANDEMBRY with Incidence ≥7% and More Common than Placebo in Patients with HAE (VANGUARD) Adverse Reactions ANDEMBRY (N=39) Placebo (N=25) n (%) n (%) Nasopharyngitis Consists of nasopharyngitis, rhinitis, and upper respiratory infections 8 (21) 3 (12) Abdominal Pain Consists of abdominal pain and abdominal pain lower 3 (8) 0 Specific Adverse Reaction(s): Injection Site Reactions In VANGUARD and an open-label clinical study, which included 57 patients who rolled over from VANGUARD, 164 patients with HAE received ANDEMBRY 200 mg subcutaneously every month.

Injection site reactions (e.g., injection site bruising, injection site erythema, injection site hematoma, injection site pruritus, injection site urticaria) were reported in 23 (14%) patients.

Laboratory Abnormalities: Prolonged Coagulation Tests (aPTT and PT) In the VANGUARD trial, the incidence of prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), defined as >1.4×ULN, was 3 (8%) patients in the ANDEMBRY group compared to 0 patients in the placebo group.

Additionally, the incidence of prolonged prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR), defined as >1.3× ULN, was 6 (15%) patients in the ANDEMBRY group compared to 1 (4%) patient in the placebo group.

None of the increases in aPTT, PT and INR were associated with bleeding events [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] .
