SIDE EFFECTS

The following serious adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling.

  • Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
  • Infusion-Related Reactions [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
  • Complications of Allogeneic HSCT [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The data described in Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to LIBTAYO as a single agent in 810 patients in three open-label, single-arm, multicohort studies (Study 1423, Study 1540 and Study 1620), and one open-label randomized multi-center study (Study 1624). These studies included 219 patients with advanced CSCC (Studies 1540 and 1423), 132 patients with advanced BCC (Study 1620), 355 patients with NSCLC (Study 1624), and 104 patients with other advanced solid tumors (Study 1423). LIBTAYO was administered intravenously at doses of 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (n=235), 350 mg every 3 weeks (n=543), or other doses (n=32; 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 200 mg every 2 weeks). Among the 810 patients, 57% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 25% were exposed for one year or longer. In this pooled safety population, the most common adverse reactions (≥15%) were musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, rash, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) were lymphopenia, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, increased aspartate aminotransferase, anemia, and hyperkalemia.

In addition, the data below reflect exposure to LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in 312 patients with NSCLC enrolled in a randomized, active controlled trial (Study 16113).

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC)

The safety of LIBTAYO was evaluated in 219 patients with advanced CSCC (metastatic or locally advanced disease) in Study 1423 and Study 1540 [see Clinical Studies]. Of these 219 patients, 131 had mCSCC (nodal or distant) and 88 had laCSCC. Patients received LIBTAYO 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks (n=1), 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (n=162) or 350 mg every 3 weeks (n=56) as an intravenous infusion until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or completion of planned treatment. The median duration of exposure was 38 weeks (2 weeks to 110 weeks).

The safety population characteristics were: median age of 72 years (38 to 96 years), 83% male, 96% White, and European Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score (PS) of 0 (44%) and 1 (56%).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 35% of patients. Serious adverse reactions that occurred in at least 2% of patients were pneumonitis, cellulitis, sepsis, and pneumonia.

Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 8% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation were pneumonitis, cough, pneumonia, encephalitis, aseptic meningitis, hepatitis, arthralgia, muscular weakness, neck pain, soft tissue necrosis, complex regional pain syndrome, lethargy, psoriasis, rash maculopapular, proctitis, and confusional state.

The most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions were fatigue, rash, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, and nausea. The most common Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions (≥ 2%) were cellulitis, anemia, hypertension, pneumonia, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, pneumonitis, sepsis, skin infection, and hypercalcemia. The most common (≥ 4%) Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities worsening from baseline were lymphopenia, anemia, hyponatremia, and hypophosphatemia.

Table 2 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 10% of patients and Table 3 summarizes Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities worsening from baseline in ≥ 1% of patients receiving LIBTAYO.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

First-line treatment of NSCLC with LIBTAYO in Combination with Platinum-based Chemotherapy

The safety of LIBTAYO in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy was evaluated in 465 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in Study 16113 [see Clinical Studies]. Patients received LIBTAYO 350 mg every 3 weeks plus platinum-based chemotherapy every 3 weeks for 4 cycles (n=312), or placebo every 3 weeks plus platinum-based chemotherapy every 3 weeks for 4 cycles (n=153).

First-line Treatment of NSCLC with LIBTAYO as a Single Agent

The safety of LIBTAYO was evaluated in 355 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in Study 1624 [see Clinical Studies]. Patients received LIBTAYO 350 mg every 3 weeks (n=355) or investigator’s choice of chemotherapy (n=342), consisting of paclitaxel plus cisplatin or carboplatin; gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin; or pemetrexed plus cisplatin or carboplatin followed by optional pemetrexed maintenance. The median duration of exposure was 27.3 weeks (9 days to 115 weeks) in the LIBTAYO group and 17.7 weeks (18 days to 86.7 weeks) in the chemotherapy group. In the LIBTAYO group, 54% of patients were exposed to LIBTAYO for ≥ 6 months and 22 % were exposed for ≥ 12 months.

The safety population characteristics were: median age of 63 years (31 to 79 years), 44% of patients 65 or older, 88% male, 86%White, 82% had metastatic disease and 18% had locally advanced disease and ECOG performance score (PS) of 0 (27%) and 1 (73%).

LIBTAYO was permanently discontinued due to adverse reactions in 6% of patients; adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation in at least 2 patients were pneumonitis, pneumonia, ischemic stroke and increased aspartate aminotransferase. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 28% of patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions in at least 2% of patients were pneumonia and pneumonitis.
