Summary of the safety profile In patients with FCS, the most commonly reported adverse reactions during treatment with olezarsen were injection site erythema (17%), headache (16%), arthralgia (15%), and vomiting (10%). Tabulated list of adverse reactions The safety data described below reflects exposure to olezarsen in 89 patients with FCS in clinical trials who received at least one dose of olezarsen.
Of these, 77 patients received at least 6 months of treatment and 65 patients received at least 12 months of treatment. The mean duration of treatment for these patients was 521 days (range: 28 to 1 080 days). Adverse reactions are listed according to MedDRA system organ class.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention: 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 (cannot be estimated from available data).
Within each frequency grouping, adverse reactions are presented in the order of decreasing seriousness.

Severe hypersensitivity reactions (including symptoms of bronchospasm, diffuse erythema, facial swelling, urticaria, chills, and myalgias) have been observed in 2 patients in clinical trials. In both patients the event was acute, required treatment, and resulted in treatment discontinuation.
8). If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, Tryngolza must be discontinued immediately and appropriate therapy initiated. General Limited safety data exist for olezarsen use in FCS patients at the time of marketing authorisation.
While no serious risks of thrombocytopenia, hepatotoxicity, or renal toxicity were identified during clinical development, these adverse reactions have been observed with some antisense oligonucleotides and cannot be completely excluded.
Use in patients with low platelet counts Some patients with FCS are susceptible to platelet count variability over time as part of the natural history and progression of the disease. There are limited data available on the use of olezarsen in FCS patients with platelet count < 100 000/mm3.
4 Excipient with known effect Sodium This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per 80 mg dose, that is to say essentially ‘sodium-free’.

Injection site reactions Injection site reactions occurred in olezarsen-treated patients with FCS. These local reactions were mostly mild and consisted of injection site erythema (17%), discolouration (9%), pain (6%), and swelling (5%).
These events are either self-limiting or can usually be managed using symptomatic treatment. Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product.
Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V.
