Adverse Drug Reaction Overview In the Phase 3 clinical study of 306 patients treated with NATESTO, the most common adverse events reported were local nasal reactions at the site of gel application. The most frequently observed were rhinorrhea, epistaxis and nasal discomfort which were mild and transient in the majority of cases.
The adverse drug reactions observed in at least 2% of patients are listed below in Table 1, shown by system organ class and in order of decreased frequency. Clinical Trial Adverse Drug Reactions Because clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions the adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.
Adverse drug reaction information from clinical trials is useful for identifying drug-related adverse events and for approximating rates. NATESTO was evaluated in a multicenter, open-label clinical study that included 90-Day Treatment period and two, open-label safety extension periods of 90 and 180 days, respectively.
A total of 306 hypogonadal men with morning testosterone concentrations ≤ 300 ng/dL received NATESTO (see Clinical Studies). 90-Day Treatment Period Table 1 summarizes the most common (experienced by ≥2% of patients in any treatment group) Adverse Drug Reactions during the 90-day Treatment Period.
