Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Serious Infections Caused by Encapsulated Bacteria [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Hepatic Enzyme Increases [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Hyperlipidemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Most frequent adverse reaction (incidence ≥10%) was headache ( 6 ).

The safety of VOYDEYA was evaluated in 86 adults with PNH in Study ALXN2040-PNH-301 [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Study ALXN2040-PNH-301 enrolled adults with PNH with clinically significant EVH who had been treated with a stable dose of ravulizumab or eculizumab for at least the previous 6 months. Patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive double-blind VOYDEYA 150 mg (n=57) or placebo (n=29) orally three times a day in addition to ravulizumab or eculizumab for 12 weeks. Patients received either US-approved or non-US-approved ravulizumab or eculizumab in the trial. Among patients who were randomized to receive VOYDEYA, 84% were exposed for at least 12 weeks. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 5% of patients who received VOYDEYA and included pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and blood bilirubin increased. No specific serious adverse reaction was reported in more than 1 patient treated with VOYDEYA. Permanent discontinuation of VOYDEYA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 5% of patients and included 1 patient with blood bilirubin increase and pancreatitis, 1 patient with hepatic enzyme increased, and 1 patient with ALT increased and aspartate aminotransferase increased. Dosage reduction due to an adverse reaction occurred in 1 patient and the adverse reaction was COVID-19. Among the 57 patients treated with VOYDEYA in Study ALXN2040-PNH-301, the most common adverse reaction (≥10%) was headache. Table 1 describes adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of patients treated with VOYDEYA and greater than placebo in the randomized, controlled period of Study ALXN2040-PNH-301.
