Known hypersensitivity to trabectedin ( 4 )" ], "warnings_and_cautions": [ "5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Neutropenic sepsis: Severe, and fatal, neutropenic sepsis may occur. Monitor neutrophil count during treatment. Withhold EVDI for neutrophil count < 1,500/mcL ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Rhabdomyolysis: Rhabdomyolysis may occur. Monitor creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels prior to each administration. Withhold EVDI for CPK more than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal. ( 2.3 , 5.2 ) Hepatotoxicity: Hepatotoxicity may occur. Monitor and delay and/or reduce dose if needed ( 5.3 ) Cardiomyopathy: Severe and fatal cardiomyopathy can occur. Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < lower limit of normal, prior cumulative anthracycline dose of ≥300 mg/m 2 , age ≥65 years, or a history of cardiovascular disease may be at increased risk of developing new or worsening cardiac dysfunction. Discontinue EVDI in patients who develop decreased LVEF or cardiomyopathy ( 2.3 , 5.4 ) Capillary leak syndrome: Monitor and discontinue EVDI for capillary leak syndrome ( 5.5 ) Embryo-fetal toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise of potential risk to a fetus and use effective contraception ( 5.7 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Neutropenic Sepsis Neutropenic sepsis, including fatal cases, can occur with EVDI. In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, based on laboratory values, in patients receiving trabectedin was 43% (161/378). The median time to the first occurrence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was 16 days (range: 8 days to 9.7 months); the median time to complete resolution of neutropenia was 13 days (range: 3 days to 2.3 months). Febrile neutropenia (fever ≥38.5°C with Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia) occurred in 18 patients (5%) treated with trabectedin. Ten patients (2.6%) experienced neutropenic sepsis, 5 of whom had febrile neutropenia, which was fatal in 4 patients (1.1%). Assess neutrophil count prior to administration of each dose of EVDI and periodically throughout the treatment cycle. Withhold or reduce dose of EVDI based on severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.2 Rhabdomyolysis EVDI can cause rhabdomyolysis and musculoskeletal toxicity. In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, rhabdomyolysis leading to death occurred in 3 (0.8%) of the 378 patients receiving trabectedin. Elevations in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) occurred in 122 (32%) of the 378 patients receiving trabectedin, including Grade 3 or 4 CPK elevation in 24 patients (6%), compared to 15 (9%) of the 172 patients receiving dacarbazine with any CPK elevation, including 1 patient (0.6%) with Grade 3 CPK elevation. Among the 24 patients receiving trabectedin with Grade 3 or 4 CPK elevation, renal failure occurred in 11 patients (2.9%); rhabdomyolysis with the complication of renal failure occurred in 4 of these 11 patients (1.1%). The median time to first occurrence of Grade 3 or 4 CPK elevations was 2 months (range: 1 to 11.5 months). The median time to complete resolution was 14 days (range: 5 days to 1 month). Assess CPK levels prior to each administration of EVDI. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue based on severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.3 Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity, including hepatic failure, can occur with EVDI. Patients with serum bilirubin levels above the upper limit of normal or AST or ALT levels >2.5 × upper limit of normal were not enrolled in Trial ET743-SAR-3007. In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, the incidence of Grade 3 to 4 elevated liver function tests (LFTs; defined as elevations in ALT, AST, total bilirubin, or alkaline phosphatase) was 35% (134/378) in patients receiving trabectedin. The median time to development of Grade 3 to 4 elevation in ALT or AST was 29 days (range: 3 days to 11.5 months). Of the 134 patients with Grade 3 to 4 elevations in LFTs, 114 (85%) experienced complete resolution with the median time to complete resolution of 13 days (range: 4 days to 4.4 months). In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, the incidence of drug-induced liver injury (defined as concurrent elevation in ALT or AST of more than three times the upper limit of normal, alkaline phosphatase less than two times the upper limit of normal, and total bilirubin at least two times the upper limit of normal) was 1.3% (5/378) in patients receiving trabectedin. ALT or AST elevation greater than eight times the upper limit of normal occurred in 18% (67/378) of patients receiving trabectedin. Assess LFTs prior to each administration of EVDI and as clinically indicated based on the underlying severity of pre-existing hepatic impairment. Manage elevated LFTs with treatment interruption, dose reduction, or permanent discontinuation based on severity and duration of LFT abnormality [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . 5.4 Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy including cardiac failure, congestive heart failure, ejection fraction decreased, diastolic dysfunction, or right ventricular dysfunction can occur with EVDI. In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, a significant decrease in LVEF was defined as an absolute decrease of ≥15% or below the lower limit of normal with an absolute decrease of ≥5%. Patients with a history of New York Heart Association Class II to IV heart failure or abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at baseline were ineligible. In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, cardiomyopathy occurred in 23 patients (6%) receiving trabectedin and in four patients (2.3%) receiving dacarbazine. Grade 3 or 4 cardiomyopathy occurred in 15 patients (4%) receiving trabectedin and 2 patients (1.2%) receiving dacarbazine; cardiomyopathy leading to death occurred in 1 patient (0.3%) receiving EVDI and in none of the patients receiving dacarbazine. The median time to development of Grade 3 or 4 cardiomyopathy in patients receiving trabectedin was 5.3 months (range: 26 days to 15.3 months). Patients with LVEF < lower limit of normal, prior cumulative anthracycline dose of ≥300 mg/m 2 , age ≥65 years, or a history of cardiovascular disease may be at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction. Assess LVEF by echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan before initiation of EVDI and at 2- to 3-month intervals thereafter until EVDI is discontinued. Discontinue treatment with EVDI based on severity of adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.5 Capillary Leak Syndrome Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) characterized by hypotension, edema, and hypoalbuminemia has been reported with trabectedin, including serious CLS resulting in death. Monitor for signs and symptoms of CLS. Discontinue EVDI and promptly initiate standard management for patients with CLS, which may include a need for intensive care [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . 5.6 Extravasation Resulting in Tissue Necrosis Extravasation of EVDI, resulting in tissue necrosis requiring debridement, can occur. Evidence of tissue necrosis can occur more than 1 week after the extravasation. There is no specific antidote for extravasation of EVDI. Administer EVDI through a central venous line [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . 5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, EVDI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during therapy and for at least 8 months after the last dose of EVDI. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during therapy and for at least 5 months after the last dose of EVDI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] ." ], "adverse_reactions": [ "6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling: Anaphylaxis [see Contraindications (4) ] Neutropenic Sepsis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Rhabdomyolysis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Cardiomyopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Capillary Leak Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Extravasation Resulting in Tissue Necrosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions are nausea, fatigue, vomiting, constipation, decreased appetite, diarrhea, peripheral edema, dyspnea, and headache. The most common (≥5%) grades 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities are: neutropenia, increased ALT, thrombocytopenia, anemia, increased AST, and increased creatine phosphokinase.

The data described below reflect exposure to trabectedin in 755 patients with soft tissue sarcoma including 197 (26%) patients exposed to trabectedin for greater than or equal to 6 months and 57 (8%) patients exposed to trabectedin for greater than or equal to 1 year. The safety of trabectedin was evaluated in six open-label, single-arm trials, in which 377 patients received trabectedin and one open-label, randomized, active-controlled clinical trial in which 378 patients received trabectedin (Trial ET743-SAR-3007). All patients received trabectedin at the recommended dosing regimen of 1.5 mg/m 2 administered as an intravenous infusion over 24 hours once every 3 weeks (q3wk, 24-h). The median age was 54 years (range: 18 to 81 years), 63% were female, and all patients had metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Tables 3 and 4 present selected adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, observed in Trial ET743-SAR-3007, an open-label, randomized (2:1), active-controlled trial in which 550 patients with previously treated leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma (dedifferentiated, myxoid round cell, or pleomorphic) received trabectedin 1.5 mg/m 2 intravenous infusion over 24 hours once every 3 weeks (n=378) or dacarbazine 1,000 mg/m 2 intravenous infusion over 20 to 120 minutes once every 3 weeks (n=172) [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . All patients treated with trabectedin were required to receive dexamethasone 20 mg intravenous injection 30 minutes prior to start of the trabectedin infusion. In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, patients had been previously treated with an anthracycline- and ifosfamide-containing regimen or with an anthracycline-containing regimen and one additional cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen. The trial excluded patients with known central nervous system metastasis, elevated serum bilirubin or significant chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis or active hepatitis, and history of myocardial infarction within 6 months, history of New York Heart Association Class II to IV heart failure, or abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction at baseline. The median age of patients in Trial ET743-SAR-3007 was 57 years (range: 17 to 81 years), with 69% female, 77% White, 12% Black or African American, 4% Asian, and <1% American Indian or Alaska Native. The median duration of exposure to trabectedin was 13 weeks (range: 1 to 127 weeks) with 30% of patients exposed to trabectedin for greater than 6 months and 7% of patients exposed to trabectedin for greater than 1 year. In Trial ET743-SAR-3007, adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of trabectedin occurred in 26% (98/378) of patients; the most common were increased liver tests (defined as ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin) (5.6%), thrombocytopenia (3.4%), fatigue (1.6%), increased creatine phosphokinase (1.1%), and decreased ejection fraction (1.1%). Adverse reactions that led to dose reductions occurred in 42% (158/378) of patients treated with trabectedin; the most common were increased liver tests (24%), neutropenia (including febrile neutropenia) (8%), thrombocytopenia (4.2%), fatigue (3.7%), increased creatine phosphokinase (2.4%), nausea (1.1%), and vomiting (1.1%). Adverse reactions led to dose interruptions in 52% (198/378) of patients treated with trabectedin; the most common were neutropenia (31%), thrombocytopenia (15%), increased liver tests (6%), fatigue (2.9%), anemia (2.6%), increased creatinine (1.1%), and nausea (1.1%). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were nausea, fatigue, vomiting, constipation, decreased appetite, diarrhea, peripheral edema, dyspnea, and headache. The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥20%) were increases in AST or ALT, increased alkaline phosphatase, hypoalbuminemia, increased creatinine, increased creatine phosphokinase, anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia.

Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from EVDI in a breastfed child, advise a nursing woman to discontinue nursing during treatment with and for 3 months after the last dose of EVDI. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating EVDI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and for 8 months after the last dose of EVDI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Males EVDI may damage spermatozoa, resulting in possible genetic and fetal abnormalities. Advise males with a female sexual partner of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and for 5 months after the last dose of EVDI [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Infertility EVDI may result in decreased fertility in males and females [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of EVDI in pediatric patients have not been established. Safety (n=61) and efficacy (n=58) of trabectedin were assessed across five open-label studies (NCT00006463, NCT01453283, NCT00005625, NCT00070109, and ET-B-023-00) in pediatric patients (aged 2 to <17 years) with pediatric histotypes of sarcoma (predominantly rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma). No new safety signals were observed in pediatric patients across these studies. Pharmacokinetic parameters in 17 pediatric patients (aged 3 to 17 years) were within the range of values previously observed in adults given the same dose per body surface area. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of trabectedin did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment The mean trabectedin exposure was (97%) higher in patients with moderate (bilirubin levels greater than 1.5 to 3 times the upper limit of normal, and AST and ALT less than 8 times the upper limit of normal) hepatic impairment compared to patients with normal (total bilirubin ≤ the upper limit of normal, and AST and ALT ≤ the upper limit of normal) liver function. Reduce EVDI dose in patients with moderate hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Do not administer EVDI to patients with severe hepatic impairment (bilirubin levels above 3 times the upper limit of normal, and any AST and ALT) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 8.7 Renal Impairment No dose adjustment of EVDI is recommended in patients with mild [creatinine clearance (CLcr) 60 to 89 mL/min] or moderate (CLcr of 30 to 59 mL/min) renal impairment.

The molecular formula is C 39 H 43 N 3 O 11 S. The molecular weight is 761.84 g/mol. The chemical structure is shown below: Trabectedin is hydrophobic and has a low solubility in water. EVDI (trabectedin) injection is supplied as a sterile clear, colorless to pale brownish-yellow solution in a single-dose vial. Each single-dose vial contains 1 mg of trabectedin in 20 mL solution (0.05 mg/mL), glycine 50 mg, lactic acid 10 mg (for pH adjustment to 3.5 to 4.2), propylene glycol 1.04 g and Water for Injection, q.s. structure.jpg" ], "clinical_pharmacology": [ "12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Trabectedin is an alkylating drug that binds guanine residues in the minor groove of DNA, forming adducts and resulting in a bending of the DNA helix towards the major groove. Adduct formation triggers a cascade of events that can affect the subsequent activity of DNA binding proteins, including some transcription factors, and DNA repair pathways, resulting in perturbation of the cell cycle and eventual cell death. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of trabectedin on the QT/QTc interval was evaluated in 75 patients who received placebo on day 1 and trabectedin (1.3 mg/m 2 ) as a 3-hour intravenous infusion on day 2. No patients in the study showed a QTc interval exceeding 500 msec or more than 60 msec increase from baseline, and no large changes in the mean QTc interval (i.e., >20 msec) were observed. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of trabectedin is characterized by a rapid decline phase at the end of the infusion and slower exponential phases. Population pharmacokinetic analyses suggest that the pharmacokinetics of trabectedin is dose-proportional (over the dose range of 0.024 to 1.8 mg/m 2 ) and exposure is time-independent. No accumulation of trabectedin in plasma is observed upon repeated administrations every 3 weeks. Distribution Binding of trabectedin to human plasma proteins was approximately 97%, independent of trabectedin concentrations ranging from 10 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL. Steady state volume of distribution of trabectedin exceeds 5,000 L. Elimination The estimated mean (% coefficient of variation) clearance of trabectedin is 31.5 L/hr (50%) and the terminal elimination half-life is approximately 175 hours. Metabolism CYP3A is the predominant CYP enzyme responsible for the hepatic metabolism of trabectedin. Trabectedin was extensively metabolized with negligible unchanged drug in urine and feces following administration of trabectedin to humans. Excretion In patients with solid tumors, following a 3-hour or a 24-hour intravenous infusion of 14 C-labeled trabectedin, 64% of the total administered radioactive dose was recovered in 24 days, with 58% in feces and 6% in urine. Specific Populations The following population characteristics are not associated with a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of trabectedin: sex, age (19 to 83 years), body weight (36 to 148 kg), body surface area (0.9 to 2.8 m 2 ), mild hepatic impairment, or mild to moderate renal impairment. The effects of severe hepatic impairment, severe renal impairment or end stage renal disease on trabectedin exposure are unknown. Hepatic Impairment The geometric mean dose normalized trabectedin exposure (AUC) increased by 97% (90% CI: 20%, 222%) in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (bilirubin levels greater than 1.5 times to 3 times the upper limit of normal and AST and ALT less than 8 times the upper limit of normal) following administration of a single EVDI dose of 0.58 mg/m 2 or 0.9 mg/m 2 compared to patients with normal liver function following administration of a single EVDI dose of 1.3 mg/m 2 [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . Drug Interactions Effect of Strong CYP3A Inhibitors on Trabectedin Coadministration of multiple doses of ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily for 7.5 days) with a single dose of EVDI (0.58 mg/m 2 ) on day 1 increased trabectedin dose-normalized AUC by 66% and C max by 22% compared to a single EVDI dose (1.3 mg/m 2 ) given alone. Effect of Strong CYP3A Inducers on Trabectedin Coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (600 mg daily for 6 days) with a single EVDI dose (1.3 mg/m 2 ) on day 6 decreased trabectedin AUC by 31% and C max by 21% compared to a single EVDI dose (1.3 mg/m 2 ) given alone.

Treatment continued in both arms until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; all patients in the trabectedin arm were required to receive dexamethasone 20 mg intravenous injection prior to each trabectedin infusion. Patients were required to have unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma (dedifferentiated, myxoid round cell, or pleomorphic) and previous treatment with an anthracycline- and ifosfamide-containing regimen or an anthracycline-containing regimen and one additional cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen. Randomization was stratified by subtype of soft tissue sarcoma (leiomyosarcoma vs. liposarcoma), ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1), and number of prior chemotherapy regimens (1 vs. ≥2). The efficacy outcome measures were investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and duration of response (DOR). Patients in the dacarbazine arm were not offered trabectedin injection at the time of disease progression. A total of 518 patients were randomized, 345 to the trabectedin arm and 173 patients to the dacarbazine arm. The median patient age was 56 years (range: 17 to 81); 30% were male; 76% White, 12% Black, and 4% Asian; 73% had leiomyosarcomas and 27% liposarcomas; 49% had an ECOG PS of 0; and 89% received ≥2 prior chemotherapy regimens. The most common (≥20%) pre-study chemotherapeutic agents administered were doxorubicin (90%), gemcitabine (81%), docetaxel (74%), and ifosfamide (59%). Approximately 10% of patients had received pazopanib. Trial ET743-SAR-3007 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS. An exploratory analysis of independent radiology committee-determined PFS, in a subgroup consisting of approximately 60% of the total population, provided similar results to the investigator-determined PFS.

EVDI is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma that: cannot be treated with surgery or has spread to other areas of the body (metastatic), and have received treatment with other medicines, including medicines called anthracyclines. It is not known if EVDI is safe and effective in children. Who should not receive EVDI? Do not receive EVDI if you have had a severe allergic reaction to trabectedin or any of the ingredients in EVDI. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in EVDI. Before receiving EVDI, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: have liver or kidney problems have or had a history of heart problems are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. EVDI can harm your unborn baby. Females who are able to become pregnant: Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with EVDI. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with EVDI. U se an effective form of birth control (contraception) during treatment and for 8 months after your last dose of EVDI. Males with female partners who are able to become pregnant: EVDI can damage sperm and may cause birth defects. Use an effective form of birth control during your treatment and for 5 months after your last dose of EVDI. are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if EVDI passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with and for 3 months after your last dose of EVDI. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take , including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using EVDI with certain other medicines may affect the way EVDI works and may increase your risk of side effects. Know the medicines you take and keep a list of them to show to your healthcare provider or pharmacist when you get a new medicine. How will I receive EVDI? EVDI is given by an intravenous (IV) infusion into a vein over 24 hours. To help avoid irritation at the site where it is infused, EVDI is given to you into a large vein through a type of IV line called a central venous line. EVDI is usually given every 3 weeks. Before each treatment with EVDI, you will receive a steroid medicine to help reduce your risk of getting certain side effects. Your healthcare provider will decide how long you will continue treatment with EVDI. What are the possible side effects of EVDI? EVDI can cause serious side effects, including : Severe infections due to decreased white blood cells. Decreased or low white blood cell counts can lead to severe infection throughout the body (sepsis) and death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop fever or other signs of infection. Muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis). EVDI can cause severe muscle problems and increased levels of an enzyme in your blood called creatine phosphokinase (CPK). Muscle problems can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop severe muscle pain or weakness or if your urine changes to a reddish-brown color. Liver problems. Increased liver enzymes in your blood and severe liver problems, including liver failure, can happen. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop: yellowing of your skin and whites of your eyes pain in your upper right stomach-area (abdomen) nausea vomiting problem with concentration disorientation confusion Heart muscle problems. Heart muscle problems, including heart failure, can be severe and lead to death. Your healthcare provider will do a test to check your heart function before you start and during treatment with EVDI. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop new chest pain, shortness of breath, tiredness, swelling of your legs, ankles, or feet, or heart palpitations. Capillary leak syndrome (CLS). EVDI can cause fluid to leak from the blood vessels into the body’s tissues. CLS can cause symptoms that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop swelling, dizziness or lightheadedness with or without a sudden drop in blood pressure. Skin damage from leakage at or near the infusion site. EVDI can cause damage and death of tissue cells if it leaks into the tissues around your infusion site. You may need to have surgery to remove any dead tissue. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you see any EVDI leaking out of your vein or around the catheter during your infusion, or if you notice any redness, swelling, itching or discomfort at the infusion site at any time. Allergic reactions. Some people have had allergic reactions to EVDI, including severe reactions. Get emergency help right away if you develop any of the following signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction: difficulty breathing, chest tightness, wheezing, severe dizziness or lightheadedness, swelling of the lips, or skin rash. The most common side effects of EVDI include : nausea tiredness vomiting constipation decreased appetite diarrhea swelling of your hands, ankles, or feet shortness of breath headache The most common severe abnormal blood tests include: decreased white blood cell, platelet, and red blood cell (anemia) counts. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop fever or signs of infection, unusual bruising, bleeding, tiredness, or paleness. increased liver enzymes and CPK Your healthcare provider will do certain blood tests before you start EVDI and during treatment to check you for side effects, and to see how well you respond to the treatment. Your healthcare provider may decrease or delay your dose if you develop serious side effects or may permanently stop treatment with EVDI if your side effects are severe. EVDI may cause fertility problems in males and females, which may affect your ability to have children. Talk to your healthcare provider if this is a concern for you. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of EVDI. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. General information about the safe and effective use of EVDI.
