From the label: adverse reactions, continued

The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Conjunctivitis and Keratitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 1%) are upper respiratory tract infections, conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, and eosinophilia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact LEO Pharma Inc. at 1-877-494-4536 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 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 from Clinical Trials in Adults The safety of ADBRY was evaluated in a pool of 5 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis including three phase 3 Eczema Tralokinumab trials (ECZTRA 1, ECZTRA 2, and ECZTRA 3), a dose-finding trial, and a vaccine response trial. The safety population had a mean age of 37 years; 43% of subjects were female, 67% were White, 21% were Asian, and 9% were Black. …

What do FAERS reports show?

6,044 reports list tralokinumab among the medicines taken, each a report of something that happened, not proof the medicine caused it; 83 are coded as a death and 315 as a hospital stay. Counts follow how widely a medicine is used and watched, and they are not a measure of how risky it is. Reports rose sharply in 2025 (1,894, against a median of 1 a year): FAERS counts follow reporting, which news, litigation and label changes can drive, not how often a reaction happens. Of the 23 reactions below, 6 are named by the same term (in US spelling) in the label's adverse reactions, warnings or patient leaflet; a reaction the label does not name may still be there under another word, and a report does not show that the medicine caused it.
