How to use

Recommended dosage: 100 mg orally once daily. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage and Schedule The recommended dosage of DAURISMO is 100 mg orally once daily on days 1 to 28 in combination with cytarabine 20 mg subcutaneously twice daily on days 1 to 10 of each 28-day cycle in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or loss of disease control. For patients without unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 cycles to allow time for clinical response. Administer DAURISMO with or without food. Do not split or crush DAURISMO tablets. Administer DAURISMO about the same time each day. If a dose of DAURISMO is vomited, do not administer a replacement dose; wait until the next scheduled dose is due. If a dose of DAURISMO is missed or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible and at least 12 hours prior to the next scheduled dose. Return to the normal schedule the following day. Do not administer 2 doses of DAURISMO within 12 hours. 2.2 Monitoring and Dosage Modifications Assess complete blood counts, electrolytes, renal, and hepatic function prior to the initiation of DAURISMO and at least once weekly for the first month. Monitor electrolytes and renal function once monthly for the duration of therapy. Obtain creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels prior to initiating DAURISMO and as indicated clinically thereafter (e.g., if muscle symptoms are reported). Monitor…

Side effects

The following clinically-significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • QTc Interval Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Musculoskeletal Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) are anemia, fatigue, hemorrhage, febrile neutropenia, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, edema, thrombocytopenia, dyspnea, decreased appetite, dysgeusia, mucositis, constipation, and rash. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer, Inc. at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety profile of DAURISMO is based on experience in the BRIGHT AML 1003 study for 111 adults with newly-diagnosed AML and 14 adults with other conditions for which DAURISMO is not indicated [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Patients were treated with DAURISMO 100 mg daily in combination with low-dose cytarabine (N=84) or low-dose cytarabine alone (N=41). The median duration of treatment in the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm was 83 days (range 3 to 972 days), and the median duration of…

FDA Boxed Warning (the FDA’s most serious warning)

Boxed (black-box) warning — from the FDA label

EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY DAURISMO can cause embryo-fetal death or severe birth defects when administered to a pregnant woman. DAURISMO is embryotoxic, fetotoxic, and teratogenic in animals [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Conduct pregnancy testing in females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of DAURISMO treatment. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) ] . Advise males of the potential risk of DAURISMO exposure through semen and to use condoms with a pregnant partner or a female partner of reproductive potential during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose to avoid potential drug exposure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ] . WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. • DAURISMO can cause embryo-fetal death or severe birth defects when administered to a pregnant woman. DAURISMO is embryotoxic, fetotoxic, and teratogenic in animals. ( 5.1 , 8.1 ) • Conduct pregnancy testing in females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of DAURISMO treatment. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose. ( 5.1 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) • Advise males of the potential risk of exposure through semen and to use condoms with a pregnant partner or a female partner of reproductive potential during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose to avoid potential drug exposure. ( 5.1 , 8.3 )

Warnings

Important safety information

Blood Donation: Advise patients not to donate blood or blood products during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose. ( 5.1 ) • QTc Interval Prolongation: Monitor electrocardiograms and electrolytes. If QTc prolongation occurs, interrupt treatment with DAURISMO. ( 2.2 , 5.2 ) • Musculoskeletal Adverse Reactions: Obtain creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and serum creatinine levels prior to initiating DAURISMO and as indicated clinically thereafter. Temporary dose interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of DAURISMO may be required for musculoskeletal adverse reactions or serum CPK elevation. ( 2.2 , 5.3 ) 5.1 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, DAURISMO can cause embryo-fetal death or severe birth defects when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no clinical data on the use of DAURISMO in pregnant women. In animal embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, glasdegib caused embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity and teratogenicity at maternal exposures that were less than the human exposure at the recommended human dose of 100 mg [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.2) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Females of Reproductive Potential DAURISMO is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Conduct pregnancy testing in female patients of reproductive potential prior to initiating DAURISMO treatment. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose. Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2 , 8.3) ] . Males Advise male patients with female partners of the potential risk of exposure through semen and to use effective contraception, including a condom, even after vasectomy, to avoid drug exposure to a pregnant partner or a female partner of reproductive potential during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3) ] . Blood Donation Advise patients not to donate blood or blood products while taking DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose of DAURISMO because their blood or blood products might be given to a female of reproductive potential. 5.2 QTc Interval Prolongation Patients treated with DAURISMO can develop QTc prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Of the 98 evaluable patients treated with DAURISMO 100 mg in combination with low-dose cytarabine in the clinical trial, 5% were found to have a QTc interval greater than 500 ms and 4% of patients had an increase from baseline QTc greater than 60 ms. The clinical trial excluded patients with baseline QTc of greater than 470 ms or with a history of long QT syndrome or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease. Monitor electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electrolytes [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Concomitant use of DAURISMO with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval and CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation [see Drug Interactions (7) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . In patients with congenital long QT syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval, more frequent ECG monitoring is recommended. Interrupt DAURISMO if QTc increases to greater than 500 ms. Discontinue DAURISMO permanently for patients who develop QTc interval prolongation with signs or symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . 5.3 Musculoskeletal Adverse Reactions Musculoskeletal adverse reactions, which may be accompanied by CPK elevations, have occurred with DAURISMO and other drugs which inhibit the hedgehog (Hh) pathway. In BRIGHT AML 1003, musculoskeletal adverse reactions occurred in 45% of patients treated, with 2% (7/79) reported as Grade 3 or higher. The most frequent manifestations of musculoskeletal adverse reactions reported were musculoskeletal pain (30%) and muscle spasms (15%). Increased CPK laboratory values occurred in 16% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Obtain baseline CPK levels prior to initiating DAURISMO and as clinically indicated (e.g., if muscle symptoms are reported). Obtain CPK and serum creatinine levels at least weekly in patients with musculoskeletal adverse reactions with concurrent CPK elevation greater than 2.5 times ULN until resolution of clinical signs and symptoms. Depending on the severity of symptoms, temporary dose interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of DAURISMO may be required for musculoskeletal adverse reactions or serum CPK elevation [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] .
