Medication side effect

Can Imlunestrant cause fatigue?

Estrogen Receptor Antagonist [EPC]

Yes — fatigue has been reported as a side effect of Imlunestrant in FDA adverse-event reports (FAERS) and product labeling. It is among the more frequently reported events for this medication. These are voluntary reports, so they show what's been reported, not how often it happens.

Reported adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common (incidence ≥10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities were: hemoglobin decreased, musculoskeletal pain, calcium decreased, neutrophils decreased, AST increased, fatigue, diarrhea, ALT increased, triglycerides increased, nausea, platelets decreased, constipation, cholesterol increased, and abdominal pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Eli Lilly and Company at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trial 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 of INLURIYO was evaluated in 651 patients with ER+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with endocrine therapy with or without a prior CDK4/6 inhibitor in EMBER-3 [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] . Patients received INLURIYO 400 mg orally, once daily (n=327), or standard of care (n=324) consisting of either fulvestrant (n=292) or exemestane (n=32). Among patients who were treated with INLURIYO, the median duration of exposure was 5.6 months (range: 0.2 to 28.6 months) in EMBER-3. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients who received INLURIYO. Serious adverse reactions in > 1% of patients included pleural effusion (1.2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.8% of patients who received INLURIYO, including cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, right ventricular failure, hypovolemic shock, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (each 0.3%). Permanent treatment discontinuation of INLURIYO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4.6% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of INLURIYO included increased alanine aminotransferase (0.9%), abdominal pain, fatigue, fractured sacrum, hepatotoxicity, neuropathy peripheral, and pyrexia (each 0.3%). Dosage interruption of INLURIYO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 10% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >0.5% were vomiting (1.5%); increased aspartate aminotransferase and COVID-19 (each 0.9%); and increased alanine aminotransferase, anemia, diarrhea, decreased neutrophil count, and pyrexia (each 0.6%). Dose reductions of INLURIYO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.4% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions were increased aspartate aminotransferase (0.6%); and increased alanine aminotransferase, anemia, fatigue, interstitial lung disease, nausea, neutropenia, and vomiting (each 0.3%). The most common (≥10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were hemoglobin decreased, musculoskeletal pain, calcium decreased, neutrophils decreased, AST increased, fatigue, diarrhea, ALT increased, triglycerides increased, nausea, platelets decreased, constipation, cholesterol increased, and abdominal pain.

Warnings

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: INLURIYO can cause fetal harm. Advise of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.1 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, INLURIYO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In an animal reproduction study, oral administration of imlunestrant to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis led to embryo-fetal mortality and structural abnormalities at maternal exposures that were below the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with INLURIYO and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with INLURIYO and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] .
