* Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) identified post-marketing.

Most frequent (>20%) AEs of any grade observed across the PALOMA clinical trial programme*1

The most frequent (≥20%) adverse events of any grade observed across the PALOMA clinical trial programme were:*1

  • Severe, life-threatening or fatal ILD and/or pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with IBRANCE when taken in combination with ET. Across the PALOMA clinical trial programme, 1.4% of patients treated with IBRANCE had ILD/pneumonitis of any grade, 0.1% had Grade 3 and no Grade 4 or fatal cases were reported. Additional cases of ILD/pneumonitis have been observed in the post-marketing setting, with fatalities reported. Patients should be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g. hypoxia, cough, dyspnoea)†1
  • VTEs were reported in 3.2% of patients treated with IBRANCE across the PALOMA clinical trial programme. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of DVT and PE, and treated as medically appropriate†1
  • Concomitant use of palbociclib with statins which are substrates of CYP3A4 and/or BCRP may increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis due to increased statin plasma concentration. Cases of rhabdomyolysis including fatal cases have been reported following coadministration of palbociclib with simvastatin or atorvastatin†1
IBRANCE® most common grade >3 adverse reactions

* Pooled analysis from the PALOMA clinical trials involving 872 patients with HR+ HER2− locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who received IBRANCE in combination with ET (n=527 in combination with letrozole and n=345 in combination with fulvestrant);
† Adverse drug reaction identified post-marketing.
