AKEEGA® offers a well-characterized, consistent, and manageable safety profile1

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Consistent safety established in 2 phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials comparing AKEEGA® vs standard of care (SoC*)1

In patients with BRCA2 mutations:

Donut chart indicating 85 percentof patients remained on AKEEGA® without discontinuing due to adverse reactions1
Donut chart indicating 72 percentof patients did not need a dose reduction with AKEEGA®1

Adverse reactions >20% in AKEEGA®–treated patients with a difference of ≥5% vs SoC* (BRCA2 m subgroup)1

*The denominator used to calculate the rate varied from 160 to 161 for placebo + AAP and 159 to 162 for AKEEGA® + P based on the number of patients with a baseline value and at least one post-treatment value.1

AAP, abiraterone acetate + prednisone; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BRCA2m, BRCA2 gene-mutated; BRCAm, BRCA gene-mutated; mCSPC, metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer; SoC, standard of care; WBC, white blood cell.
