Established Safety Profile

Established Safety Profile

The safety of YONDELIS® was evaluated in 755 patients

YONDELIS® was studied in 6 open-label, single-arm trials, in which 377 patients received YONDELIS®, and 1 open-label, randomized, active-controlled clinical trial, in which 378 patients received YONDELIS®. In these trials, 26% (197) of patients were treated with YONDELIS® for 6 months or longer, and 8% (57) were treated with YONDELIS® for 1 year or longer.1

*Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities included those higher in the YONDELIS® arm compared with the dacarbazine arm by 5% (all grades) or by 2% (Grades 3-4). Incidence based on number of patients who had both baseline and at least 1 on-study laboratory measurement.

YONDELIS® group (range: 373 to 377 patients) and dacarbazine group (range: 166 to 168 patients).

Limited to adverse reactions occurring at a rate of 10% in the trabectedin arm and at a rate higher in the trabectedin arm compared with the dacarbazine arm by 5% in overall incidence or by 2% for Grades 3-4 adverse reactions.

Toxicity grade is based on National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria, version 4.0.

§

Fatigue is a composite of the following adverse event terms: fatigue, asthenia, and malaise.

Treatment exposure

Approximately one-third of patients were able to stay on YONDELIS® 6 cycles or longer

1 out of 3 (34%) patients in the YONDELIS® group received 6 or more cycles of treatment, and 1 out of 10 (10%) received 12 or more cycles.2
