Unless otherwise specified, the data described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to Lynparza as a single agent or as part of a combination regimen (SOLO-1, SOLO-2, PAOLA-1, OlympiA, OlympiAD, POLO, PROfound, and PROpel) in 2851 patients that were pooled to conduct safety analyses. Additional data reflect exposure to Lynparza as a single agent in 2901 patients; 2135 patients with exposure to 300 mg twice daily tablet dose including five controlled, randomized, trials (SOLO-1, SOLO-2, OlympiAD, POLO, and PROfound) and to 400 mg twice daily capsule dose in 766 patients in other trials that were pooled to conduct safety analyses. In this pooled single agent safety population, 56% of patients were exposed for 6 months or longer and 28% were exposed for greater than one year in the Lynparza group. In this pooled single agent safety population, the most common adverse reactions in ≥10% of patients were nausea (60%), fatigue (55%), anemia (36%), vomiting (32%), diarrhea (24%), decreased appetite (22%), headache (16%), dysgeusia (15%), cough (15%), neutropenia (14%), dyspnea (14%), dizziness (12%), dyspepsia (12%), leukopenia (11%), and thrombocytopenia (10%). First-Line Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Advanced Ovarian Cancer SOLO-1 The safety of Lynparza for the maintenance treatment of patients with BRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer following first-line treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy was investigated in SOLO- 1 [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients received Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily (n=260) or placebo (n=130) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of study treatment was 25 months for patients who received Lynparza and 14 months for patients who received placebo. Among patients who received Lynparza, dose interruptions due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 52% and dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 28%. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to dose interruption or reduction of Lynparza were anemia (23%), nausea (14%), and vomiting (10%). Discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 12% of patients receiving Lynparza. The most frequent adverse reactions that led to discontinuation of Lynparza were fatigue (3.1%), anemia (2.3%), and nausea (2.3%).

Patients were randomized to receive either Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily plus abiraterone tablets 1000 mg once daily (Lynparza/abiraterone) (n=398), or placebo plus abiraterone 1000 mg once daily (placebo/abiraterone) (n=396) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients in both arms also received either prednisone or prednisolone 5 mg twice daily. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients, including COVID-19 (3%) and pneumonias (0.5%). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 39% of patients. Serious adverse reactions reported in > 2% of patients included anemia (6%), COVID-19 (6%), pneumonia (4.5%), pulmonary embolism (3.5%), and urinary tract infection (3%). Permanent discontinuation of Lynparza due to adverse reactions occurred in 16% of patients treated in the Lynparza with abiraterone arm. The most common adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of Lynparza were anemia (4.3%) and pneumonia (1.5%). Dosage interruption of Lynparza due to adverse reactions occurred in 48% of patients treated in the Lynparza with abiraterone arm. The most common (>2%) adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption of Lynparza were anemia (16%), COVID-19 (6%) fatigue (3.5%), nausea (2.8%), pulmonary embolism (2.3%), and diarrhea (2.3%). Dose reduction of Lynparza due to adverse reactions occurred in 21% of patients treated in the Lynparza with abiraterone arm. The most common (>2%) adverse reactions requiring dosage reductions of Lynparza were anemia (11%) and fatigue (2.5%). The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) in patients who received Lynparza/abiraterone were anemia (48%), fatigue (38%), nausea (30%), diarrhea (19%), decreased appetite (16%), lymphopenia (14%), dizziness (14%), and abdominal pain (13%). Tables 16 and 17 summarize adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities in PROpel, respectively.

Table 17 Selected Laboratory Abnormalities Reported in ≥20% of Patients in PROpel Laboratory Parameter Lynparza/abiraterone n=398 This number represents the safety population.

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. Hepatobiliary Disorders : Drug-induced liver injury. Immune System Disorders : Hypersensitivity including angioedema. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders : Erythema nodosum, rash, dermatitis.
