6.1Clinical 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 practice. The safety data below reflect the safety of BRINSUPRI in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB).

A total of 1721 patients with NCFB were randomized in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 52 weeks duration (ASPEN) [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. The safety of BRINSUPRI was based on data from 1719 adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older who received at least one dose of BRINSUPRI or placebo. A total of 1156 patients received at least one dose of BRINSUPRI 10 mg or 25 mg orally once daily.

Table 1 shows the adverse reactions occurring at an incidence of ≥2% and higher in BRINSUPRI-treated patients compared to placebo in the safety population from ASPEN. Table 1 Adverse Reactions with BRINSUPRI with an Incidence of ≥2% and More Common than Placebo in ASPEN Adverse Reaction Placebo (N=563) n (%) BRINSUPRI 10 mg QD (N=582) n (%) BRINSUPRI 25 mg QD (N=574) n (%) Upper respiratory tract infection Upper respiratory tract infection includes coronavirus infection, COVID-19, influenza, upper respiratory tract infection, viral infection, and viral upper respiratory tract infection. 141 (25) 157 (27) 169 (29) Headache 39 (7) 39 (7) 49 (9) Rash Rash includes rash, rash maculo-papular, rash pruritic, rash erythematous, dermatitis, and erythema. 22 (4) 25 (4) 35 (6) Dry skin Dry skin includes dry skin, chapped lips, cheilitis, lip dry, skin exfoliation, skin fissures, xeroderma, and xerosis. 8 (1) 17 (3) 25 (4) Hyperkeratosis Hyperkeratosis includes hyperkeratosis, palmoplantar keratoderma, and skin hypertrophy. 5 (1) 8 (1) 16 (3) Hypertension 17 (3) 28 (5) 13 (2) Adverse Reactions in WILLOW A total of 256 adult patients with NCFB were randomized in the 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (WILLOW).

Of those randomized, 255 adult patients received BRINSUPRI 10 mg, BRINSUPRI 25 mg, or placebo, which consisted of 170 adults treated with at least one dose of BRINSUPRI 10 mg or 25 mg orally once daily. The safety profile for adult patients with NCFB in WILLOW was generally similar to ASPEN, with the exception of a higher incidence of gingival and periodontal adverse reactions. The incidence of gingival and periodontal adverse reactions in WILLOW among patients treated with BRINSUPRI 10 mg and 25 mg were 9.9% and 10.1%, respectively, compared to 2.4% in placebo-treated patients.

Less Common Adverse Reactions Liver Function Test Elevations In ASPEN, there was an increase from baseline in average ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase levels at all time points from Week 4 through Week 56 in both BRINSUPRI 10 mg and 25 mg arms compared to placebo. The incidence of ALT >3× upper limit of normal (ULN) was 0%, 1.2%, and 0.9%, in patients treated with placebo and BRINSUPRI 10 mg and 25 mg, respectively.

The incidence of AST >3× ULN was 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.5% in patients treated with placebo and BRINSUPRI 10 mg and 25 mg, respectively. The incidence of alkaline phosphatase >1.5× ULN was 2.5%, 4.1%, and 4.0% in patients treated with placebo and BRINSUPRI 10 mg and 25 mg, respectively. Skin Cancers In ASPEN, the incidence of skin cancers among patients treated with BRINSUPRI 10 mg and 25 mg was 0.5% and 1.9%, respectively, compared to 1.1% in placebo-treated patients.

Alopecia In ASPEN, the incidence of alopecia among patients treated with BRINSUPRI 10 mg and 25 mg was 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively, compared to 0.4% in placebo-treated patients.
