6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: • Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Pneumonitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Most common adverse reactions (≥20%) in clinical trials were anemia, nausea, fatigue (including asthenia), vomiting, nasopharyngitis/upper respiratory tract infection/influenza, diarrhea, arthralgia/myalgia, dysgeusia, headache, dyspepsia, decreased appetite, constipation, and stomatitis. ( 6.1 ) • Most common laboratory abnormalities (≥25%) were decrease in hemoglobin, increase in mean corpuscular volume, decrease in lymphocytes, decrease in leukocytes, decrease in absolute neutrophil count, increase in serum creatinine, and decrease in platelets.

Treatment of Advanced gBRCAm Ovarian Cancer after 3 or More Lines of Chemotherapy Pooled data Treatment with Lynparza capsules 400 mg twice daily as monotherapy, was studied in 223 patients (pooled from 6 studies) with gBRCAm advanced ovarian cancer who had received 3 or more prior lines of chemotherapy. Adverse reactions led to dose interruption in 40% of patients, dose reduction in 4% of patients, and discontinuation in 7% of patients. There were 8 (4%) patients with adverse reactions leading to death, two were attributed to acute leukemia, and one each was attributed to COPD, cerebrovascular accident, intestinal perforation, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, and suture rupture. The median exposure to Lynparza in these patients was 5.2 months. Table 1 presents adverse reactions reported in ≥20% of patients and Table 2 presents laboratory abnormalities that occurred in at least 25% of patients from the pooled studies.

The following adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities have been identified in ≥1 to <10% of the 223 patients receiving Lynparza and not included in the table: leukopenia, stomatitis, peripheral neuropathy, pyrexia, hypomagnesemia, and venous thrombosis (including pulmonary embolism). Study 19 The safety of Lynparza capsules as maintenance monotherapy was also evaluated in patients with platinum sensitive ovarian cancer who had received 2 or more previous platinum containing regimens in Study 19, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center study in which 264 patients received Lynparza 400 mg twice daily (n=136) or placebo (n=128). At the time of final analysis, the median duration of exposure was 8.7 months in patients who received Lynparza and 4.6 months in patients who received placebo. Adverse reactions led to dose interruptions in 35% of those receiving Lynparza and 10% of those receiving placebo; dose reductions in 26% of Lynparza patients and 4% of placebo patients; and discontinuation in 6% of Lynparza patients and 2% in placebo patients. Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 20% of patients who received Lynparza in Study 19. Table 4 presents the laboratory abnormalities that occurred in at least 25% of patients from Study 19.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
