Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Gallbladder-Related Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] The most common adverse reactions with REZDIFFRA (reported in at least 5% of patients and higher compared to placebo) are: diarrhea, nausea, pruritus, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, and dizziness. (6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-800-905-0324 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 a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of REZDIFFRA was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that enrolled a total of 2019 patients. Trial 1 Trial 1 included patients who had noncirrhotic MASH with stages F2 and F3 fibrosis at eligibility (n=888) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuations The exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 person-years (PY) for treatment discontinuation due to any adverse reaction were higher in the REZDIFFRA dosage arms: 4 per 100 PY, 5 per 100 PY, and 8 per 100 PY in placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. Diarrhea and nausea were the most common causes of treatment discontinuation. Common Adverse Reactions Table 1 displays EAIRs per 100 PY for the common adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of patients with F2 or F3 fibrosis treated in either drug arm with REZDIFFRA and were greater than that reported for placebo. Table 1: Exposure-Adjusted Incidence Rates (EAIR) of Common Adverse Reactions Reported with REZDIFFRA in Adult Patients with Noncirrhotic MASH (Trial 1) a, b, c a Population includes adult patients with noncirrhotic MASH with liver fibrosis (stages F2 and F3 at eligibility). b Median exposure duration was 68 weeks for placebo, 74 weeks for REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and 66 weeks for REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily. c EAIRs are per 100 person-years (PY) where total PYs were 435, 435, and 407 for placebo, 80 mg once daily, and 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. d The EAIR per 100 PY can be interpreted as an estimated number of first occurrences of the adverse reaction of interest if 100 patients are treated for one year.

The EAIRs for gastrointestinal adverse reactions were 57 per 100 PY, 73 per 100 PY, and 89 per 100 PY in the placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. Diarrhea typically began early in treatment initiation and was mild to moderate in severity. The median time (Q1 to Q3) to a diarrheal event was 39 (2 to 195) days, 17 (3 to 70) days, and 6 (2 to 54) days in the placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. Median duration of diarrhea was 9 days for placebo compared to 20 days for both REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily dosage arms. Nausea also began early in treatment and was mild to moderate in severity. Among patients with nausea, the median time (Q1 to Q3) to a nausea event was 85 (24 to 347) days, 28 (2 to 162) days, and 5 (2 to 40) days in the placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. Median duration of nausea was 17 days, 26 days, and 28 days for patients in the placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. Vomiting and abdominal pain adverse reactions were mild to moderate in severity. Hypersensitivity Reactions Reactions such as urticaria and rash, which may reflect drug hypersensitivity, were observed in patients receiving REZDIFFRA. The EAIRs for urticaria were 0.2 per 100 PY, 0.7 per 100 PY, and 1.5 per 100 PY in the placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. The EAIRs for rash were 3 per 100 PY in the placebo and REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily arms compared to 5 per 100 PY in the REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arm. Gallbladder-Related Adverse Reactions A higher incidence of cholelithiasis, acute cholecystitis, and obstructive pancreatitis (gallstone) was observed in the treatment arms compared to placebo. However, the EAIRs for these events were less than 1 per 100 PY for all treatment arms. Less Common Adverse Reactions Additional adverse reactions that occurred more frequently in the REZDIFFRA arms compared to placebo, in less than 5% of patients, included decreased appetite, flatulence, abnormal feces, dysgeusia, vertigo, arrhythmia, palpitations, depression, erythema, hypoglycemia, tendinopathy, abnormal uterine bleeding. Laboratory Abnormalities Liver Tests Increases in mean alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were observed in the first 4 weeks after initiating treatment with REZDIFFRA. In both REZDIFFRA dosage arms, the mean elevation in ALT and AST values was less than 1.5 times baseline at 4 weeks after treatment initiation. These values returned to baseline around 8 weeks after initiating treatment. Table 2 presents the frequency of liver test elevations during Trial 1. Table 2: Frequency of Liver Test Elevations in Trial 1 a TB elevations include patients with Gilbert syndrome. Placebo (%) REZDIFFRA 80 mg Once Daily (%) REZDIFFRA 100 mg Once Daily (%) ALT > 3x ULN 10 11 13 ALT > 5x ULN 2 2 2 AST > 3x ULN 10 9 12 AST > 5x ULN 2 1 4 TB a > 2x ULN 2 1 3 Thyroid Function Tests A decrease in levels of prohormone free T4 (FT4) of mean 2%, 13%, and 17% was seen at 12 months in patients treated with placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily, respectively, with minimal changes in active hormone T3 or in TSH. There were no clinical findings associated with FT4 decreases. Additional Safety Data The safety evaluation of REZDIFFRA also included an analysis of an additional randomized placebo-controlled safety trial which included 969 patients from a relevant patient population (placebo [n=318], REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily [n=327], and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily [n=324]). Data from the safety trial was combined with data from MASH patients with F2 and F3 fibrosis at eligibility (n=888) and data from an additional 162 patients from a relevant patient population enrolled in Trial 1. In the combined safety population (n=2019), the median (Q1 to Q3) age of patients at baseline was 58 (50 to 65) years; 55% were female, 28% were Hispanic, 89% were White, 2% were Asian, and 4% were Black or African American. The safety profile from this combined analysis was similar to that in Trial 1, other than the one case of hepatotoxicity in the safety trial [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
