## **Adverse events**

### **Majority of adverse reactions were manageable and mostly reversible. **<sup>(1,2)</sup>

- Neutropenia

Onset of neutropenia generally occurred within 17 days and were reversible with dose interruption, dose reduction or discontinuation. <sup>(1)</sup>

*Icon representing blood cells with two key stats: 20–33% of patients on KISQALI required dose reductions due to neutropenia; only 0.8% discontinued treatment.*

- Hepatobiliary toxicity

Onset of grade 3 and 4 AST/ALT elevations generally occurred within 3 months and resolved within a median of 21 days. <sup>(2)</sup>

*Liver icon with exclamation mark indicating hepatotoxicity: 12.3% of patients had dose interruptions or adjustments; 0.3% discontinued due to hepatotoxicity, 2.4% due to abnormal LFTs.*

- QTcF prolongation

Onset of QTcF prolongation generally occurred within 15 days and were reversible with dose interruption and/or dose reduction. <sup>(2)</sup>

*Icon of a patient with a heartbeat line representing QTc prolongation: 2.9% of patients required dose interruptions or reductions; fewer than 1% discontinued treatment due to this effect.*
