IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Risankizumab is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to risankizumab or any of the excipients. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue risankizumab and initiate appropriate therapy immediately.
Risankizumab may increase the risk of infections. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important infection occur. If such an infection develops, discontinue risankizumab until the infection resolves. Evaluate patients for tuberculosis infection prior to initiating treatment with risankizumab.
Drug-induced liver injury/hepatotoxicity during induction treatment of Crohn’s disease has been reported. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during induction (12 weeks). Monitor thereafter according to routine patient management. Consider other treatment options in patients with evidence of liver cirrhosis. Interrupt treatment if drug-induced liver injury is suspected, until this diagnosis is excluded.
Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with risankizumab.
The most common adverse reactions (>3%) reported during treatment for Crohn’s disease are upper respiratory infections, headache, and arthralgia during induction dosing and arthralgia, abdominal pain, injection site reactions, anemia, pyrexia, back pain, arthropathy, and urinary tract infection during maintenance dosing.
The most common adverse reactions (≥1%) reported during treatment for plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are upper respiratory infections, headache, fatigue, injection site reactions, and tinea infections.
