In two multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trials:

Adverse Reactions

Main phase – 26 weeks

Incidence (%) of adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% and more frequently in patients receiving tesamorelin for injection during the 26-week main phase of the combined studies

In Phase 3 clinical studies, patients receiving tesamorelin for injection had an increased risk of developing diabetes (HBA1c level ≥6.5%) at week 26 vs placebo (4.5% vs 1.3%); Hazard ratio: 3.3 (95% CI: 1.4, 9.6).

Discontinuation rates due to adverse reactions

At 26 weeks

9.6%

of patients receiving tesamorelin for injection discontinued

*The safety of EGRIFTA SV® (2 mg/vial formulation) have been established based on clinical trials conducted with EGRIFTA® (1 mg/vial formulation). Adverse reactions for the 1.4 mg dose (2 mg/vial formulation) of EGRIFTA SV® are expected to be similar to those observed with the 2 mg dose (1 mg/vial formulation) of EGRIFTA®.

Extension phase – 52 weeks

Incidence (%) of adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% and more frequently in patients receiving tesamorelin for injection during the 26-week extension phase of the combined studies (week 26 to week 52)

*The safety of EGRIFTA SV® (2 mg/vial formulation) have been established based on clinical trials conducted with EGRIFTA® (1 mg/vial formulation). Adverse reactions for the 1.4 mg dose (2 mg/vial formulation) of EGRIFTA SV® are expected to be similar to those observed with the 2 mg dose (1 mg/vial formulation) of EGRIFTA®.

EGRIFTA SV® is not indicated to reduce glucose or triglyceride levels.
The results of the post-hoc analysis were not part of the New Drug Application (NDA), and therefore were not reviewed by the FDA to support approval of EGRIFTA®.
