Tabulated list of adverse reactions Table 3, unless otherwise stated, lists the incidence of adverse reactions (ADRs) in patients treated with tremelimumab 300 mg in combination with durvalumab in the HCC pool of 462 patients, and IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in the POSEIDON Study, in which 330 patients received tremelimumab.
In the POSEIDON study, patients were exposed to tremelimumab during a median of 20 weeks. Adverse reactions are listed according to system organ class in MedDRA. Within each system organ class, the ADRs are presented in decreasing frequency.
The corresponding frequency category for each ADR is defined as: very common (≥ 1/10); common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10); uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100); rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1000); very rare (< 1/10,000); not known (cannot be estimated from 13 available data).
Within each frequency grouping, ADRs are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. Table 3. 2 […]
2, Table 2 for recommended treatment modifications. For suspected immune- mediated adverse reactions, adequate evaluation should be performed to confirm aetiology or exclude alternate aetiologies. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, IMJUDO in combination with durvalumab should be withheld and corticosteroids administered.
Upon improvement to ≤ Grade 1, corticosteroid taper should be initiated and continued over at least 1 month. Consider increasing dose of corticosteroids and/or using additional systemic immunosuppressants if there is worsening or no improvement.
Traceability 8 In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the tradename and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded. 8). Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of pneumonitis.
2. For Grade 2 events, an initial dose of 1-2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent should be initiated followed by a taper. For Grade 3 or 4 events, an initial dose of 2-4 mg/kg/day methylprednisolone or equivalent should be initiated followed by a taper.
8). Monitor alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase levels prior to initiation of treatment and prior to each subsequent infusion. Additional monitoring is to be considered based on clinical evaluation.
2. Corticosteroids should be administered with an initial dose of 1-2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent followed by taper for all grades. 8). Intestinal perforation and large intestine perforation were reported in patients receiving tremelimumab in combination with durvalumab.
