). 1 Adverse Reaction Overview The overall safety of ORLADEYO has been evaluated in multiple long-term clinical studies, which included 381 patients with HAE (uncontrolled, open-label and placebo-controlled, blinded studies). Of the patients treated with ORLADEYO in the placebo-controlled blinded Phase 3 study (Study 302, Part 1), the most common adverse reactions associated with ORLADEYO 150 mg were gastrointestinal reactions, which included abdominal pain in any location (23%), vomiting (15%), Product Monograph ORLADEYO (berotralstat) 8 BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Protected B / Protégé B and diarrhea (15%) (Table 2). These reactions generally occurred early after initiation of treatment with ORLADEYO, became less frequent with time, and typically self-resolved. No patients in the ORLADEYO 150 mg dose group discontinued treatment due to a gastrointestinal adverse reaction.
There were no serious drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events in patients who received ORLADEYO. 2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials may therefore not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.
Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use. The primary safety evaluation of ORLADEYO was based on Week 24 data from Part 1 of a 3- part, double-blind, parallel-group, and placebo-controlled study (Study 302) in 120 patients with Type I or II HAE randomized and dosed with either ORLADEYO 110 mg, 150 mg, or placebo, once daily with food.
In Study 302, 81 patients aged 12 years and older with HAE received at least one dose of ORLADEYO in Part 1. The proportion of patients who discontinued study drug prematurely due to adverse reactions was 7% and 3% for patients treated with 110 mg and 150 mg of ORLADEYO, respectively, and 3% for patients treated with placebo.
, Cardiovascular). 1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (≥12 years and weighing ≥40 kg) Based on the data submitted and reviewed by Health Canada, the safety and efficacy of ORLADEYO in pediatric patients in this age and weight group has been established.
Therefore, Health Canada has authorized an indication for pediatric use in patients ≥12 years of age (see 14 CLINICAL TRIALS). The safety and efficacy of ORLADEYO have not been established in patients <12 years of age. 2 Geriatrics (≥65 years) Evidence from clinical studies and experience suggests that use in the geriatric population is not associated with differences in safety or effectiveness (see 14 CLINICAL TRIALS).
Berotralstat has not been studied in patients ≥75 years of age. 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS ORLADEYO is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to this drug or to any ingredient in the formulation, including any non-medicinal ingredient, or component of the container.

Product Monograph ORLADEYO (berotralstat) 9 BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 1 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions – Pediatrics The safety of ORLADEYO was evaluated in a subgroup of 6 pediatric patients aged 12 to <18 years and weighing ≥40 kg as part of Study 302, and in 28 pediatric patients aged 12 to <18 years as part of Study 204, the long-term, open-label safety study.
The safety profile was similar to that observed in adults. Adverse reactions applicable to adults are also applicable to pediatric use. 3 Less Common Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Less frequent adverse reactions that occurred with an incidence <10% included: Gastrointestinal Disorders: Flatulence, gastroesophageal reflux disease Nervous System Disorders: Headache Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Rash A maculopapular drug rash was reported in <1% of patients treated with ORLADEYO.
The rash resolved, including in patients who continued dosing. 4 Abnormal Laboratory Findings: Hematology, Clinical Chemistry and Other Quantitative Data Table 3 shows treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities that occurred in patients receiving ORLADEYO 150 mg that also occurred at a higher rate than in the placebo group.

c The same subject had elevations in Amylase (Grade 3) and Lipase (Grade 3). No treatment-emergent adverse event was reported related to these findings. LFT elevations, which generally improved with or without discontinuation of berotralstat, were observed in some patients, primarily in those who discontinued androgen therapy within 14 days of initiating ORLADEYO treatment in Study 204, the long-term, open-label safety study.
Abrupt discontinuation of androgens immediately prior to initiating ORLADEYO should be avoided. 5 Post-Market Adverse Reactions The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-market use of ORLADEYO. Because post-market reactions are reported […]

Reproductive Health:
Female and Male Potential Fertility There are no data on the influence of berotralstat use on human fertility. Based on animal studies, no effect on reproduction or fertility is expected with berotralstat (see 16 NON- CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY).
