1 Adverse Reaction Overview The incidence of serious adverse events in long term clinical trials with RAVICTI was 26% and consisted primarily of hyperammonemia (18%). The most common adverse drug reactions among all patients taking RAVICTI in clinical trials include diarrhea, flatulence, headache, decreased appetite, vomiting, nausea, fatigue, and skin odor.
Adverse drug reactions that resulted in clinical intervention in UCD patients who participated in clinical trials were mostly gastrointestinal reactions (flatulence, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention) or neurological reactions (dysgeusia, lethargy, speech disorder, paresthesia, tremor).
2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials, therefore, 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 may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use. Assessment of adverse drug reactions was based on exposure in 114 UCD patients (65 adults and 49 children between the ages of 2 months and 17 years) across four short term active control studies and three long term (12 month) uncontrolled clinical studies.
