As 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 safety data described in this section reflect exposure to LUMOXITI in 80 patients with previously treated HCL in Study 1053 [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients received LUMOXITI 0.04 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Days 1, 3, and 5 of each 28-day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The median duration of treatment with LUMOXITI was 5.7 months (range: 0.9 to 6.7), with a median of 6 treatment cycles started in each patient.
The most common non-laboratory adverse reactions (≥ 20%) of any grade were infusion related reactions, edema, nausea, fatigue, headache, pyrexia, constipation, anemia, and diarrhea. The most common Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions (reported in at least ≥ 5% of patients) were hypertension, febrile neutropenia, and HUS.
The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥ 20%) of any grade were creatinine increased, ALT increased, hypoalbuminemia, AST increased, hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, hemoglobin decreased, neutrophil count decreased, hyponatremia, blood bilirubin increased, hypokalemia, GGT increased, hypomagnesemia, platelet count decreased, hyperuricemia, and alkaline phosphate increased.
Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of LUMOXITI occurred in 15% (12/80) of patients. The most common adverse reaction leading to LUMOXITI discontinuation was HUS (5%). The most common adverse reaction resulting in dose delays, omissions, or interruptions was pyrexia (3.8%).
Tables 4 and 5 present the frequency category of adverse reactions and key laboratory abnormalities observed in patients with relapsed or refractory HCL treated with LUMOXITI.

Fluid retention occurred in 63% (50/80) of patients treated with LUMOXITI in Study 1053, including Grade 3 in 1.3% (1/80) of patients. Fluid retention included all preferred terms of edema peripheral (39%), face edema (14%), abdominal distension (13%), weight increased (8%), pleural effusion (6%), edema (5%), peripheral swelling (5%), localized edema (3.8%), ascites (1.3%), fluid overload (1.3%), fluid retention (1.3%), and pericardial effusion (1.3%). Of the fifty patients with fluid retention, 29% of patients required diuretics.
Ocular adverse events occurred, including: blurred vision (9%), dry eye (8%), cataracts (5%), ocular discomfort and/or pain (4%), ocular swelling/periorbital edema (4%), conjunctivitis (1.3%), conjunctival hemorrhage (1.3%), and ocular discharge (1.3%).
