The safety of TARPEYO was evaluated in 389 patients in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, NefIgArd (NCT: 03643965, Phase 3 clinical study in adults with primary IgAN). The data below reflect TARPEYO exposure in 195 patients with a median duration of 41 weeks, compared with comparable exposure to placebo in 194 patients.

The most common adverse reactions, reported in greater than or equal to 5% of TARPEYO-treated patients and greater than or equal to 2% higher than placebo, in the 9-month treatment period are listed in Table 1.

Most adverse reactions that occurred at a greater incidence for TARPEYO compared to placebo were consistent with hypercortisolism and reversible, resolving within 3 months after discontinuation.
