PINNACLE DATA REINFORCE WELL-CHARACTERIZED, MANAGEABLE SAFETY PROFILE
THE LARGEST STUDY IN PATIENTS WITH MCL WHO HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE OR TWO PRIOR THERAPIES

The safety results observed in PINNACLE should be viewed in the context of the full product Prescribing Information, which combines data from multiple studies and identifies important safety considerations with VELCADE.

In the integrated analysis of multiple myeloma and MCL studies (N = 1163)*, the most commonly reported adverse events were asthenic conditions (including fatigue, malaise, and weakness) (64%), nausea (55%), diarrhea (52%), constipation (41%), peripheral neuropathy (including peripheral sensory neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy aggravated) (39%), thrombocytopenia and appetite decreased (including anorexia) (each 36%), pyrexia (34%), vomiting (33%), and anemia (29%).
Twenty percent (20%) of patients experienced at least 1 episode of greater than or equal to Grade 4 toxicity, most commonly thrombocytopenia (5%) and neutropenia (3%).

*The integrated safety analysis was conducted to evaluate the overall safety population of patients who received VELCADE dosed at 1.3 mg/m2 at the same schedule in multiple myeloma and MCL trials.
