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

- 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
