6.1 Clinical

Trials Experience Because 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 clinical practice. The safety of VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis was evaluated in two randomized, placebo-controlled studies of 52 weeks (UC-1) and 12 weeks (UC-2) duration. Additional safety data were obtained from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-finding study of 12 weeks duration (UC-3). In the 52-week study (UC-1), 433 subjects were enrolled of whom 289 received VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily. In the 12-week studies (UC-2 and UC-3), 458 subjects were enrolled of whom 288 received VELSIPITY 2 mg once daily. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of subjects and at a higher rate than placebo during UC-1.

Placebo N = 170 % Headache Headache includes related terms headache, migraine, and sinus headache. 6 4 Elevated liver tests Elevated liver tests includes related terms ALT increased, AST increased, blood alkaline phosphatase increased, blood bilirubin increased, cholestasis, GGT increased, hepatic enzyme increased, hepatic function abnormal, liver function test abnormal, and transaminases increased. 5 <1 Nausea 4 2 Bradycardia Bradycardia includes related terms bradycardia, sinus bradycardia, and heart rate decreased. 3 0 Urinary tract infection Urinary tract infection includes related terms urinary tract infection, cystitis, and genitourinary tract infection. 3 0 Ophthalmologic Findings In UC-1, for subjects with a baseline and follow-up examination, a decrease in visual acuity was reported in 2.6% (4/156) of subjects who received VELSIPITY and no subjects who received placebo.
