Tabulated list of adverse reactions Table 6 summarises adverse reactions reported in patients who received ELREXFIO at the recommended dosing regimen (N=183 including 64 patients with prior BCMA-directed antibody drug conjugate [ADC] or chimeric antigen receptor [CAR] T cell therapy [supportive Cohort B]).

Frequency categories are defined as very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1 000 to < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10 000 to < 1/1 000), very rare (< 1/10 000) and not known (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data).
Within each frequency grouping, where relevant, adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. Table 6. 1 13 Table 6. 8
