Furthermore, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increase, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) increase and aspartate aminotransferase increase are moved from the SOC ‘Investigations’ to the newly introduced SOC ‘Hepatobiliary disorders’ with the same frequencies as before. Finally, the existing warning on respiratory reactions in section 4.4 of the SmPC has been updated in relation to ILD. The Package leaflet is updated accordingly. In addition, certain side-effects in the Package leaflet have also been moved under ‘serious side-effects’. RMP version 4.0 has been submitted and agreed; however, the conclusions drawn from the assessment of the current PSUR warrant further changes to the RMP to be submitted at the next opportunity.  The MAH has also taken the occasion to align the PI to QRD template version 10.0 and to update local representatives for Bulgaria, France and Hungary in the Package leaflet

Vaccination

In a clinical study, teriflunomide-treated patients mounted appropriate immune responses to a seasonal influenza vaccination, consistent with the preservation of a response to booster vaccine. Patients reached post-vaccination antibody titres, consistent with seroprotection. No clinical data are available on the efficacy and safety of vaccinations regarding primary immune response to neopathogens. The use of live attenuated vaccines may carry a risk of infections and should, therefore, be avoided.
