Gastrointestinal disorders
Gastrointestinal disorders have been reported with other interferon alfa medicinal products and have been reported in 15.7% of patients with ropeginterferon alfa-2b treatment. The most common gastrointestinal disorders reported in these studies were diarrhoea (5.1%; incidence rate: 2.8 [events/100 patients per year]) and nausea (4.5%; incidence rate: 1.2 events/100 patients per year]).

CNS
In the clinical development program of ropeginterferon alfa-2b, two cases of serious depression (1.1%; incidence rate: 0.4 events/100 patients per year) occurred. The patients recovered completely after permanent medicinal product discontinuation. One patient who experienced serious acute stress disorder (0.6%; incidence rate: 0.2 events/100 patients per year) with moderate intensity recovered completely after the dose of ropeginterferon alfa-2b was reduced. CNS effects including suicide attempt, suicidal ideation, aggression, bipolar disorder, mania and confusion have been reported with interferon alfa (see section 4.4).

Cardiovascular system
During ropeginterferon alfa-2b therapy, three cases of atrial fibrillation (1.1%; incidence rate: 0.3 events/100 patients per year) with intensity grade 1 to 3 occurred in two patients. Ropeginterferon alfa-2b treatment was continued, and the patients received appropriate medicinal products to treat these events. Patients recovered from the two events; one event was ongoing at the time of assessment.

Respiratory system
Cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have been reported with interferon alfa, notably in patients with risk factors for PAH (such as portal hypertension, HIV infection, cirrhosis). Events were reported at various time points typically several months after starting treatment with interferon alfa.

Visual system
Serious eye disorders have been reported with interferon alfa such as retinopathy, retinal haemorrhage, retinal exudates, retinal detachment and retinal artery or vein occlusion (see section 4.4).

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Any suspected adverse events should be reported to the Ministry of Health according to the National Regulation by using an online form https://sideeffects.health.gov.il/
