Adult and Pediatric Patients 12 Years of Age and Older The safety of TAKHZYRO is primarily based on a 26-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group and placebo-controlled study (Trial 1) in 125 patients with Type I or II HAE. Eligible patients were also able to participate in an open-label extension study (Trial 2) up to 130 weeks. In Trial 1, a total of 84 patients with HAE aged 12 years and older received at least one dose of TAKHZYRO. Overall, 70% of patients were female and 90% of patients were Caucasian with a mean age of 41 years. The proportion of patients who discontinued study drug prematurely due to adverse events was 1.2% for TAKHZYRO-treated patients and 4.9% for placebo-treated patients. No deaths occurred in the trial. The safety profile of TAKHZYRO was generally similar across all subgroups of patients, including analysis by age, sex, and geographic region. Table 1 shows adverse reactions occurring in โ‰ฅ10% of patients in any TAKHZYRO treatment group that also occurred at a higher rate than in the placebo treatment group in Trial 1. Table 1 Adverse Reactions Observed in โ‰ฅ10% of Patients Treated with TAKHZYRO in Trial 1 Adverse Reaction Placebo (N=41) TAKHZYRO 150 mg q4wks (N=28) 300 mg q4wks (N=29) 300 mg q2wks (N=27) Total (N=84) n (%) n (%) n (%) n (%) n (%) N= number of patients; n =number of patients experiencing the event; q2wks = every 2 weeks; q4wks = every 4 weeks Injection site reactions Injection site reactions include: pain, erythema, bruising, hematoma, hemorrhage, pruritus, swelling, induration, paresthesia, reaction, warmth, edema and rash. 14 (34) 16 (57) 13 (45) 15 (56) 44 (52) Upper respiratory infection Includes upper respiratory infection, viral upper respiratory infection 13 (32) 3 (11) 9 (31) 12 (44) 24 (29) Headache Includes headache, tension headache, sinus headache 9 (22) 3 (11) 6 (21) 9 (33) 18 (21) Rash Includes rash, rash maculopapular, rash erythematous 2(5) 2 (7) 3 (10) 1 (4) 6 (7) Dizziness 0 1 (4) 3 (10) 1 (4) 5 (6) Diarrhea 2 (5) 3 (11) 0 1 (4) 4 (5) Myalgia 0 1 (4) 0 3 (11) 4 (5) Injection site reactions primarily consisted mainly of pain, erythema, and bruising at the injection site. There was no meaningful difference in injection site reactions with self-administration. Less Common Adverse Reactions Other adverse reactions that occurred at a higher incidence in TAKHZYRO-treated patients compared to placebo include hypersensitivity (1% vs 0%), increased aspartate transaminase (2% vs 0%), and increased alanine transaminase (2% vs 0%). Safety data from the open-label extension study, consisting of 109 rollover patients from Trial 1 and 103 non-rollover HAE patients, is consistent with controlled safety data from Trial 1. Laboratory Abnormalities Transaminase elevations During the placebo-controlled treatment period in Trial 1, the number of TAKHZYRO-treated patients with maximum transaminase (ALT or AST) levels >8, >5, or >3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) was 1 (1.2%), 0 (0%), or 3 (3.6%) respectively, compared to 0 in the placebo-treated patients. These transaminase elevations were asymptomatic and transient. No patients had elevated total bilirubin >2ร— ULN. One TAKHZYRO-treated patient permanently discontinued treatment due to elevated transaminases (4.1ร— ULN AST). None of the patients were reported to have serious adverse reactions of elevated transaminases. Pediatric Patients 2 to Less Than 12 Years of Age The safety of TAKHZYRO was evaluated at 150 mg/mL (150 mg q4wks for patients 2 to <6 years or 150 mg q2wks with the option for 150 mg q4wks if the patient is well-controlled for 6 months for patients 6 to <12 years) in an open-label, multicenter study with 21 patients aged 2 to less than 12 years. No new safety signals were observed in these patients.
