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 to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse Reactions in the Clinical Trials of Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Pool of Two Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials in Adults The data in Table 1 are derived from 2 placebo-controlled trials [1 monotherapy trial (SURPASS-1) and 1 trial in combination with basal insulin with or without metformin (SURPASS-5)] in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. These data reflect exposure of 718 patients to MOUNJARO and a mean duration of exposure to MOUNJARO of 36.6 weeks. The mean age of patients was 58 years, 4% were 75 years or older and 54% were male. The population was 57% White, 27% Asian, 13% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 3% Black or African American; 25% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. At baseline, patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus for an average of 9.1 years with a mean HbA1c of 8.1%. As assessed by baseline fundoscopic examination, 13% of the population had retinopathy. At baseline, eGFR was ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 53%, 60 to 90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 39%, 45 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 7%, and 30 to 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 1% of patients. Pool of Seven Controlled Clinical Trials Adverse reactions were also evaluated in a larger pool of adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus participating in seven controlled clinical trials which included two placebo-controlled trials (SURPASS-1 and -5), three trials of MOUNJARO in combination with metformin, sulfonylureas, and/or SGLT2 Inhibitors (SURPASS-2, -3, -4) and two additional trials conducted in Japan. In this pool, a total of 5119 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were treated with MOUNJARO for a mean duration of 48.1 weeks. The mean age of patients was 58 years, 4% were 75 years or older and 58% were male. The population was 65% White, 24% Asian, 7% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 3% Black or African American; 38% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. At baseline, patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus for an average of 9.1 years with a mean HbA1c of 8.3%. As assessed by baseline fundoscopic examination, 15% of the population had retinopathy. At baseline, eGFR was ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 52%, 60 to 90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 40%, 45 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 6%, and 30 to 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in 1% of patients. Common Adverse Reactions Table 1 shows common adverse reactions, not including hypoglycemia, associated with the use of MOUNJARO in the pool of placebo-controlled trials in adults. These adverse reactions occurred more commonly on MOUNJARO than on placebo and occurred in at least 5% of patients treated with MOUNJARO.

Table 1: Adverse Reactions in Pool of Placebo-Controlled Trials Reported in ≥5% of MOUNJARO-treated Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Note: Percentages reflect the number of patients who reported at least 1 occurrence of the adverse reaction. Adverse Reaction Placebo (N=235) % MOUNJARO 5 mg (N=237) % MOUNJARO 10 mg (N=240) % MOUNJARO 15 mg (N=241) % Nausea 4 12 15 18 Diarrhea 9 12 13 17 Decreased Appetite 1 5 10 11 Vomiting 2 5 5 9 Constipation 1 6 6 7 Dyspepsia 3 8 8 5 Abdominal Pain 4 6 5 5 In the pool of seven clinical trials in adults, the types and frequency of common adverse reactions, not including hypoglycemia, were similar to those listed in Table 1. Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions In the pool of placebo-controlled trials in adults, gastrointestinal adverse reactions occurred more frequently among patients receiving MOUNJARO than placebo (placebo 20.4%, MOUNJARO 5 mg 37.1%, MOUNJARO 10 mg 39.6%, MOUNJARO 15 mg 43.6%). More patients receiving MOUNJARO 5 mg (3.0%), MOUNJARO 10 mg (5.4%), and MOUNJARO 15 mg (6.6%) discontinued treatment due to gastrointestinal adverse reactions than patients receiving placebo (0.4%). The majority of reports of nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea occurred during dose escalation and decreased over time. The following gastrointestinal adverse reactions were reported more frequently in MOUNJARO-treated adult patients than placebo-treated patients (frequencies listed, respectively, as: placebo; 5 mg; 10 mg; 15 mg): eructation (0.4%, 3.0%, 2.5%, 3.3%), flatulence (0%, 1.3%, 2.5%, 2.9%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (0.4%, 1.7%, 2.5%, 1.7%), abdominal distension (0.4%, 0.4%, 2.9%, 0.8%). Other Adverse Reactions in Adults Hypoglycemia Table 2 summarizes the incidence of hypoglycemic events in the placebo-controlled trials in adults.

Table 2: Hypoglycemia Adverse Reactions in Placebo-Controlled Trials in Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Note: Percentages reflect the number of patients who reported at least 1 episode of hypoglycemia in respective categories. * Reflects the study treatment period. Data include events occurring during 4 weeks of treatment-free safety follow up. Events after introduction of a new glucose-lowering treatment are excluded. ** Episodes requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions.

In an adult clinical trial up to 104 weeks of treatment, when administered with a sulfonylurea, hypoglycemia (glucose level <54 mg/dL) occurred in 13.8%, 9.9%, and 12.8%, and severe hypoglycemia occurred in 0.5%, 0%, and 0.6% of patients treated with MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively. Acute Pancreatitis In clinical studies, 14 events of acute pancreatitis were confirmed by adjudication in 13 MOUNJARO-treated adult patients (0.23 patients per 100 years of exposure) versus 3 events in 3 comparator-treated patients (0.11 patients per 100 years of exposure). Heart Rate Increase In the pool of placebo-controlled trials, treatment of adults with MOUNJARO resulted in a mean increase in heart rate of 2 to 4 beats per minute compared to a mean increase of 1 beat per minute in placebo-treated patients. Episodes of sinus tachycardia, associated with a concomitant increase from baseline in heart rate of ≥15 beats per minute, also were reported in 4.3%, 4.6%, 5.9% and 10% of subjects treated with placebo, MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively. For patients enrolled in Japan, these episodes were reported in 7% (3/43), 7.1% (3/42), 9.3% (4/43), and 23% (10/43) of patients treated with placebo, MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively. The clinical relevance of heart rate increases is uncertain. Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with MOUNJARO in the pool of placebo-controlled trials in adults, sometimes severe (e.g., urticaria and eczema); hypersensitivity reactions were reported in 3.2% of MOUNJARO-treated patients compared to 1.7% of placebo-treated patients. In the pool of seven clinical trials in adults, hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 106/2,570 (4.1%) of MOUNJARO-treated adult patients with anti-tirzepatide antibodies and in 73/2,455 (3.0%) of MOUNJARO-treated patients who did not develop anti-tirzepatide antibodies. In the clinical trial in pediatric patients 10 years of age and older, hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 2/50 (4%) of MOUNJARO-treated pediatric patients with anti-tirzepatide antibodies and in 0/43 (0%) of MOUNJARO-treated pediatric patients who did not develop anti-tirzepatide antibodies. Injection Site Reactions In the pool of placebo-controlled trials in adults, injection site reactions were reported in 3.2% of MOUNJARO-treated patients compared to 0.4% of placebo-treated patients. In the pool of seven clinical trials, injection site reactions occurred in 119/2,570 (4.6%) of MOUNJARO-treated adult patients with anti-tirzepatide antibodies and in 18/2,455 (0.7%) of MOUNJARO-treated adult patients who did not develop anti-tirzepatide antibodies. In the clinical trial in pediatric patients 10 years of age and older, injection site reactions occurred in 3/50 (6%) of MOUNJARO-treated pediatric patients with anti-tirzepatide antibodies and in 0/43 (0%) of MOUNJARO-treated pediatric patients who did not develop anti-tirzepatide antibodies. Acute Gallbladder Disease In the pool of placebo-controlled clinical trials in adults, acute gallbladder disease (cholelithiasis, biliary colic and cholecystectomy) was reported by 0.6% of MOUNJARO-treated patients and 0% of placebo-treated patients. Dysesthesia In the pool of placebo-controlled clinical trials in adults, dysesthesia was reported by 0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.4% of patients treated with MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively. No events were reported by patients receiving placebo. Dysgeusia In the pool of placebo-controlled clinical trials in adults, dysgeusia was reported by 0.1% of MOUNJARO-treated patients and 0% of placebo-treated patients. Laboratory Abnormalities Amylase and Lipase Increase In the pool of placebo-controlled adult clinical trials, treatment with MOUNJARO resulted in mean increases from baseline in serum pancreatic amylase concentrations of 33% to 38% and serum lipase concentrations of 31% to 42%. Placebo-treated patients had a mean increase from baseline in pancreatic amylase of 4% and no changes were observed in lipase. The clinical significance of elevations in lipase or amylase with MOUNJARO is unknown in the absence of other signs and symptoms of pancreatitis. Adverse Reactions in the Clinical Trial of Pediatric Patients 10 Years of Age and Older with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus MOUNJARO was administered to 97 pediatric patients 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus for a mean duration of 39.9 weeks. The mean age was 15 years and 61% of patients were female. The population was 58% White, 11% Black or African American, 6% Asian, 20% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 5% were other races; 66% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. At baseline, pediatric patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus for an average of 2.4 years with a mean HbA1c of 8.0%. The incidences of adverse reactions reported in pediatric patients treated with MOUNJARO 5 mg and 10 mg subcutaneously once-weekly were consistent with those described above for adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with the exception of a higher incidence of vomiting, abdominal pain, and hypoglycemia. During the 30-week placebo-controlled period of the study, vomiting occurred in 3%, 16%, and 12% of patients and abdominal pain occurred in 9%, 22%, and 15% of patients treated with placebo, MOUNJARO 5 mg, and 10 mg, respectively. No severe hypoglycemia episodes were reported during the trial. Table 3 summarizes the incidence of hypoglycemic events with blood glucose <54 mg/dL in the trial.

6.2 Postmarketing

Experience The following adverse reactions have been reported during post-approval use of MOUNJARO. 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.

Hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis, angioedema Gastrointestinal: acute pancreatitis, hemorrhagic and necrotizing pancreatitis sometimes resulting in death, ileus, intestinal obstruction, severe constipation including fecal impaction Pulmonary: Pulmonary aspiration has occurred in patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists undergoing elective surgeries or procedures requiring general anesthesia or deep sedation Renal: acute renal failure or worsening of chronic renal failure, sometimes requiring hemodialysis Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue: alopecia
