Dosage

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 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 electrocardiograms (ECGs) prior to the initiation of DAURISMO, approximately one week after initiation, and then once monthly for the next two months to assess for QTc prolongation. Repeat ECG if abnormal. Certain patients may require more frequent and ongoing ECG monitoring [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Manage any abnormalities promptly [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. See Table 1 for dosage modification guidelines for patients who develop an adverse reaction. Table 1. Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Adverse Reaction Recommended Action Abbreviations: CPK = creatine phosphokinase, ULN = upper limit of normal. QTc interval prolongation on at least 2 separate electrocardiograms (ECGs) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] QTc interval greater than 480 ms to 500 ms Assess electrolyte levels and supplement as clinically indicated. Review and adjust concomitant medications with known QTc interval-prolonging effects [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . Monitor ECGs at least weekly for 2 weeks following resolution of QTc prolongation to less than or equal to 480 ms. QTc interval greater than 500 ms Assess electrolyte levels and supplement as clinically indicated. Review and adjust concomitant medications with known QTc interval-prolonging effects [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . Interrupt DAURISMO. Resume DAURISMO at a reduced dosage of 50 mg once daily when QTc interval returns to within 30 ms of baseline or less than or equal to 480 ms. Monitor ECGs at least weekly for 2 weeks following resolution of QTc prolongation. Consider re-escalating the dosage of DAURISMO to 100 mg daily if an alternative etiology for the QTc prolongation can be identified. QTc interval prolongation with life-threatening arrhythmia Discontinue DAURISMO permanently. Musculoskeletal adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Grade 3 Grade 1 is mild, Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is severe, Grade 4 is life-threatening. or serum CPK elevation between 2.5 and 10 times upper limit of normal (ULN) Obtain CPK and serum creatinine levels at least weekly until resolution of clinical signs and symptoms. Interrupt DAURISMO until symptoms reduce to mild or return to baseline. Resume DAURISMO at the same dose level, or at a reduced dose of 50 mg. If toxicity recurs, discontinue DAURISMO. Grade 4 or serum CPK elevation greater than 10 times ULN Discontinue DAURISMO. Hematologic toxicity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] Platelets less than 10 Gi/L for more than 42 days in the absence of disease Discontinue DAURISMO and low-dose cytarabine permanently. Neutrophil count less than 0.5 Gi/L for more than 42 days in the absence of disease Discontinue DAURISMO and low-dose cytarabine permanently. Nonhematologic toxicity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] Grade 3 Interrupt DAURISMO and/or low-dose cytarabine until symptoms reduce to mild or return to baseline. Resume DAURISMO at the same dose level, or at a reduced dose of 50 mg. Resume low-dose cytarabine at the same dose level, or at a reduced dose of 15 mg or 10 mg. If toxicity recurs, discontinue DAURISMO and low-dose cytarabine. If toxicity is attributable to DAURISMO only, low-dose cytarabine may be continued. Grade 4 Discontinue DAURISMO and low-dose cytarabine permanently. 2.3 Dosage Modification for Concomitant Use with Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of DAURISMO with moderate CYP3A4 inducers. If concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers cannot be avoided, increase the DAURISMO dosage as tolerated as shown in Table 2. After the moderate CYP3A4 inducer has been discontinued for 7 days, resume the DAURISMO dose taken prior to initiating the moderate CYP3A4 inducer [see Drug Interactions (7) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Table 2. Recommended Dosage of DAURISMO with Concomitant Use of Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Current Dosage Adjusted Dosage 100 mg orally once daily 200 mg orally once daily 50 mg orally once daily 100 mg orally once daily

Warnings

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • 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) ] .

Mechanism of action

Mechanism of Action Glasdegib is an inhibitor of the Hedgehog pathway. Glasdegib binds to and inhibits Smoothened, a transmembrane protein involved in hedgehog signal transduction. In a murine xenotransplant model of human AML, glasdegib in combination with low-dose cytarabine, inhibited increases in tumor size and reduced the percentage of CD45+/CD33+ blasts in the marrow to a greater extent than glasdegib or low-dose cytarabine alone.
