Glucagonside effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are described below and elsewhere in labeling: Substantial Increase in Blood Pressure in Patients with Pheochromocytoma. Hypoglycemia in Patients with Insulinoma. Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions Lack of Efficacy With Subcutaneous Use for Severe Hypoglycemia in Patients with Decreased Hepatic Glycogen Necrolytic Migratory Erythema. Hyperglycemia with Intravenous Use as a Diagnostic Aid in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Increases with Intravenous Use as a Diagnostic Aid in Patients with Cardiac Disease Hypoglycemia in Patients with Glucagonoma with Intravenous Use as a Diagnostic Aid Most common adverse reactions (incidence 2% or greater) reported for GVOKE were: Adults—nausea, vomiting, injection site edema raised 1 mm or greater, and headache Pediatric Patients—nausea, hypoglycemia, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, hyperglycemia, injection site discomfort and reaction, and urticaria Most common adverse reactions (incidence 5 % or greater) reported for GVOKE VialDx were nausea, dysgeusia, headache, dizziness and hot flush To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at toll-free 1-877-937-4737 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch

6.1 Clinical

Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of GVOKE and GVOKE VialDx cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of other drugs and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. GVOKE for Subcutaneous Use for the Treatment of Severe Hypoglycemia in Adult and Pediatric Patients 2 Aged Years and Older with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Adverse Reactions in Adult Patients The safety of GVOKE for subcutaneous use for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in adults with diabetes was evaluated in two randomized, blinded, 2-way crossover studies conducted in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus. In total, 154 patients received a subcutaneous injection of GVOKE. The most common adverse reactions that occurred in 2% or more of adults treated with GVOKE during these two clinical trials are listed in Table 1.

Table 1: Adverse Reactions that occurred ≥ 2% in Adult Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Treated with GVOKE a a Adverse Reactions that occurred within 12 hours. GVOKE 1 mg dose (N = 154) Nausea 30% Vomiting 16% Injection site edema raised 1 mm or greater 7% Headache 5% Injection site pain was reported by 1% of GVOKE-treated patients. Hypertension and tachycardia have occurred with glucagon treatment. Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Patients Aged 2 Years and Older The safety of GVOKE for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes was evaluated in one single-arm, open-label, study in 31 pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The data in Table 2 reflect the exposure of 31 pediatric patients to 0.5 mg or 1 mg of GVOKE given subcutaneously. The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥2% of GVOKE-treated pediatric patients aged 2 years and older are listed in Table 2.

Table 3 displays the most common adverse reactions that occurred in 5% or greater in healthy volunteers who received 0.75 mg of GVOKE VialDx intravenously.

6.2 Postmarketing

Experience Additional adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of glucagon. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is generally not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) cases have been reported postmarketing in patients receiving continuous infusion of glucagon. Hypoglycemia and hypoglycemic coma. Patients taking indomethacin may be more likely to experience hypoglycemia following glucagon administration.
