JULUCA | Adverse Reactions
Adverse Reactions and Rates of Discontinuation Due to Adverse Events Through Week 1001*


The most common adverse reactions Grades 1 to 4 with ≥2% frequency in the JULUCA arm through 48 weeks were diarrhea (2%) and headache (2%). Withdrawals due to adverse events through 48 weeks occurred in 4% (21/513) of patients in the JULUCA arm compared to <1% (3/511) with continuing ART.
*SWORD 1 & 2 (pooled data).
†Most common AEs leading to discontinuation were psychiatric disorders: 2% of patients who continued on JULUCA through Week 100 and 1% of patients who switched to JULUCA at Week 52.
AEs = adverse events.

For virologically suppressed adult patients with HIV-1
Adverse Reactions and Rates of Discontinuation Due to Adverse Events Through Week 1481*
- AEs leading to discontinuation were cumulative, 8% through Week 148 (4% from Day 1- Week 48 and 7% from Week 48-Week 100)1
- Low rates of Grade 2 to 4 drug-related AEs and serious AEs were reported1
- The majority of AEs were Grade 1 or 2
- There were 4 drug-related SAEs; all started before Week 48
- Safety profile of the late-switch group through Week 148 was comparable to the early-switch group at Week 1001
*Most common AEs leading to discontinuation were psychiatric disorders; 3% of patients who continued on JULUCA through Week 148 and 1% of patients who switched to JULUCA at Week 52.
