Ulcerative Colitis The most common adverse reactions reported in ≥3% of subjects and at a higher rate than Placebo in UC Trial I are shown in Table 1.

In this table, injection site reactions are counted only once per subject. Symptoms in individual subjects included one or more of injection site bruising, edema, erythema, induration, pain, pruritus and swelling. f Includes: abdominal pain, upper abdominal pain, lower abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort Crohn's Disease The most common adverse reactions reported in ≥3% of subjects and at a higher rate than placebo in CD Trial I are shown in Table 2.

Symptoms in individual subjects included one or more of injection site bruising, edema, erythema, induration, pain, pruritus, rash, swelling, warmth. e Includes: hypertension and essential hypertension f Includes: urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis Adverse Evetns of Special Interest Infections In UC Trial I, at leaset one serious infection was reported in 3% of ZYMFENTRA-treated subjects compared to 1% in the plaebo group. Serious infections in the ZYMFENTRA-treated subjects were COVID-19, cystitis, pneumonia, salpingitis, and urinary tract injection [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ]. In CD Trial I, infections were observed in 30% of ZYMFENTRA-treated subjects compare to 187% of placebo-treated subjects. At least one serious infection was reported in 3% of ZYMFENTRA-treated subjects compared to 1% in the placebo group. Serious infections in the ZYMFENTRA-treated subjects were abscess, appendicitis, bacterial arthritis, bartholinitis, bronchiolitis, and urinary tract infection [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ]. Malignancies In UC Trial I, malignancy (prostate cancer) was reported in a ZYMFENTRA-treated subject. No malignancies were reported among placebo-treated subjects [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) ]. In another clinical trial in patients with CD, one malignancy (non-small cell lung cancer) was reported in a ZYMFENTRA-treated subject [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) ]. Hepatotoxicity Three cases of drug induced liver injury were noted in ZYMFENTRA-treated subjects that led to study drug discontinuation [ see W arnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ) ]. In two subjects in UC Trial I, ALT and AST levels started rising 7 to 12 months after starting ZYMFENTRA, reaching peak values of 4 to 11x ULN for ALT, and 2 to 7x ULN for AST. Inboth subjects, total bilirubin levels remains below 2x ULN. In one subject in CD Trial I, ALT and AST started rising within a month after starting ZYMFENTRA, reaching peack values of 18x ULN for ALT and 14.9x ULN for AST. At approximately 5 months, total bilirubin level also increased to a peak value of 2.5x ULN. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of outside of the U.S with a non-U.S approved infliximab product administered subcutaneously. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Infections and infestations: cellulitis, disseminated tuberculosis, lower respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, sepsis Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified: breast cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer Nervous system disorders: multiple sclerosis General disorders and administration site conditions : fatigue, malaise The following additional adverse ractions have been identified during post-approval use of infliximab products administered intravenously. Neutropenia, agranuloxytosis (including infants exposed in utero to infliximab products), idiopathis thrombocytopenic purpura, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Interstitial lung disease (including pulmonary fibrosis/interstitial pneumonitis and rapidly progessive disease). Pericardial effusion, systemic and cutaneous vasculitis. Erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), new onset and worsening psoriasis (all subtypes including pustular, primarily palmoplantar), lichenoid react. Preipheral demyelinating disorders (such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and multifocal motor neuropathy) transverse myelitis, and neuropathies (additional neurologic reactions have also been observed). Acute liver failure, jaundice, hepatitis, and cholestasis. Serious infections and vaccine breakthrough infection including bovine tuberculosis (disseminated BCG infection) following vaccination in an infant exposed in utero to infliximab products. Malignancies, including leukemia, melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, and cervical cancer. Anaphylactic reactions, including anaphylactic shock, laryngeal/pharyngeal edema and severe bronchospasm, and seizure. Transient visual loss has been reported in association with infliximab products during or within 2 hours of infusion. Cerebrovascular accidents, myocardial ischemia/infarction (some fatal), and arrhythmia occurring within 24 hours of initiation of infusion have also been reported.
