6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

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

Ocular Adverse Reactions [see Boxed Warning, Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
Peripheral Neuropathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
Hemorrhage [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]

6.1 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 in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflect exposure to TIVDAK in 425 patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who received at least one dose of TIVDAK at 2 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks in innovaTV 301, innovaTV 204, innovaTV 201 (NCT02001623), innovaTV 202 (NCT02552121), innovaTV 203 (NCT03245736), and innovaTV 206 (NCT03913741). The median duration of treatment with TIVDAK was 3.7 months (range: 0.4-40.2). In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥25%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were hemoglobin decreased (45%), peripheral neuropathy (39%), conjunctival adverse reactions (38%), nausea (37%), fatigue (36%), aspartate aminotransferase increased (33%), epistaxis (33%), alopecia (31%), alanine aminotransferase increased (30%), and hemorrhage (28%).

The data described in this section reflect exposure to TIVDAK from innovaTV 301 and innovaTV 204.

innovaTV 301

The safety of TIVDAK was evaluated in an open-label, randomized study in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after systemic therapy [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. A total of 250 patients received TIVDAK 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment with TIVDAK was 3.7 months (range: 0.4-19).

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 33% of patients receiving TIVDAK. The most common (≥2%) serious adverse reactions were urinary tract infection (4.8%), small intestinal obstruction (2.4%), sepsis (2%), abdominal pain (2%), and hemorrhage (2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.6% of patients who received TIVDAK, including acute kidney injury (0.4%), pneumonia (0.4%), sepsis (0.4%) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (0.4%).

Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation occurred in 15% of patients receiving TIVDAK; the most common (≥3%) adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were peripheral neuropathy (6%) and ocular adverse reactions (6%).

Adverse reactions leading to dose interruption occurred in 39% of patients receiving TIVDAK; the most common (≥3%) adverse reactions leading to dose interruption were ocular adverse reactions (16%) and peripheral neuropathy (6%).

Adverse reactions leading to dose reduction occurred in 30% of patients receiving TIVDAK; the most common (≥3%) adverse reactions leading to dose reduction were peripheral neuropathy (10%) and ocular adverse reactions (10%). The ocular adverse reactions included conjunctival disorders (4.8%), keratopathy (4%), and dry eye (0.8%).

The most common (≥25%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, in patients receiving TIVDAK were hemoglobin decreased, peripheral neuropathy, conjunctival adverse reactions, aspartate aminotransferase increased, nausea, alanine aminotransferase increased, fatigue, sodium decreased, epistaxis, and constipation.

What is the most important information I should know about TIVDAK?
TIVDAK can cause serious side effects, including:
Eye problems. Eye problems are common with TIVDAK, and can also be severe. TIVDAK can cause changes to the surface of your eye that can lead to dry eyes, eye redness, eye irritation, corneal ulcers, blurred vision, and severe vision loss. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop new or worsening vision changes or eye problems during treatment with TIVDAK.

Your healthcare provider will send you to an eye specialist to check your eyes before you start treatment with TIVDAK, before each infusion for your first 9 infusions of TIVDAK, and as needed for any new or worsening signs or symptoms of eye problems.
Your healthcare provider will ask if you have any signs or symptoms of eye problems before each infusion. You will be referred to an eye specialist for any new or worsening signs or symptoms of eye problems.
Your healthcare provider will prescribe 3 different types of eye drops before you start treatment with TIVDAK. Bring the eye drops with you to each infusion and use them as directed by your healthcare provider to reduce your risk of eye problems:
o
Use 1 drop of steroid eye drops in each eye before each infusion and continue to use your eye drops 3 times a day for 3 days after each infusion.
o
Use vasoconstrictor eye drops right before each infusion.
o
Use lubricating eye drops throughout treatment and for 30 days after your last dose of TIVDAK.
Do not wear contact lenses throughout your treatment with TIVDAK unless you are told to use them by your eye specialist.

See What are the possible side effects of TIVDAK? for more information about side effects.

What is TIVDAK?
TIVDAK is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with cervical cancer:

Females who are able to become pregnant:
o
Your healthcare provider should do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with TIVDAK.
o
You should use an effective birth control during treatment and for 2 months after your last dose of TIVDAK.
 
Males with female partners who are able to become pregnant:
o
You should use an effective birth control during treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of TIVDAK.
are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if TIVDAK passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 3 weeks after your last dose of TIVDAK.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Taking TIVDAK with certain other medicines may cause side effects.

How will I receive TIVDAK?

TIVDAK will be given to you by intravenous (IV) infusion into your vein over 30 minutes.
TIVDAK is usually given every 3 weeks.
Your healthcare provider will decide how many infusions you need.
Your healthcare provider will put cold packs on your eyes during each infusion.
Your healthcare provider may decrease your dose, temporarily stop, or completely stop treatment with TIVDAK if you have side effects.

What are the possible side effects of TIVDAK?
TIVDAK can cause serious side effects, including: 

See “What is the most important information I should know about TIVDAK?
Peripheral neuropathy. Nerve problems called peripheral neuropathy are common with TIVDAK, and can also be serious. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get numbness or tingling in your hands or feet or muscle weakness.
Bleeding (hemorrhage). Bleeding problems are common with TIVDAK, and can also be serious. Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you get signs or symptoms of bleeding during treatment with TIVDAK, including:
o
blood in your stools or black stools (looks like tar)
o
blood in your urine
o
cough up or vomit blood
o
unusual vaginal bleeding
o
any unusual or heavy bleeding
Lung problems. TIVDAK may cause severe or life-threatening inflammation of the lungs that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get new or worsening symptoms, including trouble breathing, shortness of breath, or cough.
