Table 5: Serious Adverse Events Reported in ≥1% Patients and With a ≥1% Difference in Proportion of Patients Between the REVLIMID/dexamethasone and Placebo/dexamethasone Groups For all tables above:
n – Number of Patients
* - All Treatment Emergent AEs with ≥5% of Patients in REVLIMID/ Dex and at Least 2% Difference in Proportion between the Two Arms - (Safety population)
# - All Treatment Emergent Grades 3 and 4 AEs with ≥1% Patients in REVLIMID/ Dex and at Least 1% Difference in Proportion between the Two Arms - (Safety population)
& - All Treatment Emergent Serious AEs with ≥1% Patients in REVLIMID/ Dex and at Least 1% Difference in Proportion between the Two Arms - (Safety population)
@ - ADRs with Death as an outcome
% - ADRs which were considered to be Life Threatening (if the outcome of the event was death, it is included with death cases)
a - All PTs under the MedDRA SMQ of Neuropathy of a peripheral sensory nature will be considered listed
b - All PTs under SOC of Infections except for rare infections of Public Health interest will be considered listed
c-All All PTs under HLT of Rash will be considered listed
Dex=dexamethasone
Median duration of exposure among patients treated with REVLIMID/dexamethasone was 44 weeks while median duration of exposure among patients treated with placebo/dexamethasone was 23 weeks. This should be taken into consideration when comparing frequency of adverse events between two treatment groups REVLIMID/dexamethasone vs. placebo/dexamethasone.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was reported as a serious adverse drug reaction (7.4%) or Grade 3/4 (8.2%) at a higher rate in the REVLIMID/dexamethasone group compared to 3.1 % and 3.4% in the placebo/dexamethasone group, respectively. Discontinuations due to DVT adverse reactions were reported at comparable rates b
