Side effects most frequently seen in the trial
Everyone reacts differently to POLIVY, so it’s important to know what to expect.
The types of side effects seen in patients receiving POLIVY were similar to those of other cancer treatment regimens used in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Serious side effects included pneumonia, low white blood cell count accompanied by a fever, fever alone, and sepsis—a serious complication from infection.
Some of the most common side effects that were greater in the POLIVY group compared to the group that did not receive POLIVY were:
| Blood and lymphatic system disorders | Low white blood cell count, which will make it more difficult for your body to fight infection Anemia, or low hemoglobin or red blood cell count Low platelet counts, which may cause an increased risk of bleeding |
| Nervous system disorders | Nerve problems in the arms and legs Dizziness |
| Gastrointestinal disorders | Diarrhea Vomiting |
| General disorders | Infusion-related reaction Fever Decreased appetite |
| Infections | Pneumonia Upper respiratory tract infection |
| Other | Weight loss |
| Metabolism and nutrition disorders | Low potassium, an important electrolyte for nerve and muscle cell functioning Low albumin, a major protein in the body Low calcium |
These may not be all the side effects you may experience with POLIVY. Your doctor will help you identify and manage your side effects, so please be sure to inform your healthcare team of any symptoms and take all necessary tests.
