The most frequently reported drug-related AEs (>20%) in the R/I cohort included AEs related to bilirubin increases (n = 17 [51.5%] [including increased blood bilirubin: n = 12 (36.4%); hyperbilirubinemia: n = 4 (12.1%); increased conjugated bilirubin: n = 2 (6.1%); and increased unconjugated blood bilirubin: n = 1 (3.0%)]), increased ALT (n = 10 [30.3%]), headache (n = 8 [24.2%]), and increased AST (n = 8 [24.2%]).

The most frequently reported drug-related AEs (>20%) in the newly diagnosed cohort included AEs related to bilirubin increases (n = 15 [60.0%] [including increased blood bilirubin: n = 8 (32.0%); hyperbilirubinemia: n = 8 (32.0%); increased conjugated bilirubin: n = 2 (8.0%); and increased unconjugated blood bilirubin: n = 2 (8.0%)]), increased ALT (n = 10 [40.0%]), increased AST (n = 8 [32.0%]), headache (n = 8 [32.0%]), and rash (n = 6 [24.0%]).

Pooled frequency of events reported under the following terms: increased blood bilirubin, hyperbilirubinemia, increased conjugated bilirubin, and increased unconjugated blood bilirubin. Rates of AEs reported under each of these terms are detailed in supplemental Table 1.

§

Two patients with abdominal pain (1 in each cohort) also had amylase and lipase increases, which resolved after interruption of study drug. No events of pancreatitis were reported.
