Treatment-Emergent
Adverse Events
ERLEADA® + ADT (n=524) Placebo + ADT (n=527)
Any mental impairment disorder 2.7% 1.5%
Memory impairment 1.3% 1.1%
Amnesia 0.8% 0.2%
Cognitive disorder 0.8% 0.2%
Disturbance in attention 0.2% 0.2%

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients in the ERLEADA® + ADT arm and 20% of patients in the placebo + ADT arm.1 The discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 8% in the ERLEADA® + ADT arm.1

In the combined data of 2 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies, rash associated with ERLEADA® was most commonly described as macular or maculopapular. The onset of rash occurred at a median of 83 days of ERLEADA® treatment. Rash resolved in 78% of patients within a median of 78 days from onset of rash.1

Additional Safety Information in the SPARTAN Study3,4

Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

ERLEADA® + ADT (n = 803)

Placebo + ADT (n=398)

Any mental impairment disorder* 3.9% 3.4%
Amnesia 1.9% 1.0%
Memory impairment 1.6% 1.5%
Disturbance in attention 1.2% 0.3%
Cognitive disorder 0.7% 0.8%

To evaluate the potential effect of ERLEADA® on cognitive deficits, events of amnesia, cognitive disorder, memory impairment, and disturbance in attention were assessed.3,4

*All mental impairment disorders were Grades 1 or 2.4

Exposure-adjusted rate. An exposure-adjusted rate is 100 times the number of distinct mental impairment disorder treatment-emergent adverse events divided by total years of exposure.4

In the SPARTAN study, 25% of patients in the ERLEADA® + ADT arm experienced serious adverse reactions and 23% of patients in the placebo + ADT arm.1

In the combined data of 2 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies, rash associated with ERLEADA® was most commonly described as macular or maculopapular. The onset of rash occurred at a median of 83 days of ERLEADA® treatment. Rash resolved in 78% of patients within a median of 78 days from onset of rash.1
