IMAAVY®
(nipocalimab-aahu) safety results

IMAAVY demonstrated a proven safety profile1

The most common adverse reactions (≥10% of patients) for patients taking IMAAVY + SOC were respiratory tract infections, peripheral edema, and muscle spasms.1

Adverse reactions observed in ≥5% of patients taking IMAAVY and at a higher rate than with placebo1

*COVID-19 (and other related terms), pneumonia, bronchitis, pneumonia bacteria.

Other related terms.

Glossitis, oral candidiasis, pericoronitis, pulpitis dental, tooth abscess, tooth infection.

§Angioedema, dermatitis atopic, eczema, gingival swelling, rash (and other related terms), urticaria.

Rates of serious AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and
infection-related AEs were also reported in the 24-week pivotal trial2

  • 9% of patients taking IMAAVY + SOC (n=9/98) experienced a serious AE vs 14% for patients taking placebo + SOC (n=14/98)2
  • 5% of patients taking IMAAVY + SOC (n=5/98) experienced an AE that led to permanent treatment discontinuation vs 7% for patients taking placebo + SOC (n=7/98)2
  • 43% of patients in each arm (n=42/98 for each) experienced an infection-related AE2
The safety of IMAAVY was evaluated in a broad population of antibody-positive adult patients with gMG (including women of childbearing age) and pediatric patients age 12 to 16 years with gMG who were anti-AChR+.1

Adverse events from the VIVACITY-MG3 trial including the ongoing OLE phase1

  • There were no unexpected adverse events during the OLE phase1
  • No new safety signals have been observed in the OLE phase to date. Safety monitoring will be continued through the duration of the ongoing trial and findings will be reported1
