1 Dosing Considerations Treatment with Xospata should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anticancer therapies. Prior to initiation of treatment with Xospata, patients must have confirmation of FLT3 mutation (internal tandem duplication [ITD] or tyrosine kinase domain [TKD]) using a validated test.
XOSPATA (gilteritinib) Page 5 of 30 Assess blood counts and chemistries, including creatine phosphokinase, prior to the initiation of treatment with Xospata, once weekly for the first month, once every other week for the second month, and monthly for the duration of therapy.
Perform electrocardiogram (ECG) prior to initiation of treatment with Xospata, on days 8 and 15 of the first month, prior to the start of the next two months of treatment, and then as clinically indicated. 2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment The recommended dose of Xospata is 120 mg (three 40 mg tablets) orally once daily with or without food (see DRUG INTERACTIONS, Drug-Food Interactions).
Treatment should continue as long as clinical benefit is observed or until unacceptable toxicity occurs. Clinical response can be delayed (see CLINICAL TRIALS). In the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treatment for a minimum of 6 months is recommended to allow time for a clinical response.
Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations). No dose adjustment is required in geriatric patients (≥ 65 years of age) (see ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics).
No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLCr] ≥30 mL/min). Clinical experience in patients with severe renal impairment (CLCr < 30 mL/min) is limited (see ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics).
No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment. No data are available in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) (see ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics).

1 Adverse Reaction Overview The safety of Xospata was evaluated in 319 adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML having a FLT3 mutation, who received at least one dose of 120 mg Xospata in clinical trials including pivotal ADMIRAL study (see CLINICAL TRIALS).
4 months). 0%). 0%). 3%) required a dose reduction due to an adverse reaction. 9%) discontinued Xospata treatment permanently due to an adverse reaction. 6%). 2%). Fatal adverse reactions included two cases with clinical symptoms consistent with differentiation syndrome and one case of cardiac failure congestive.
2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.
Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful for identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use. The ADMIRAL study is a Phase 3, open-label, multicentre, randomized clinical trial of adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML having a FLT3 mutation.
The trial compared safety and efficacy of Xospata to protocol-defined salvage chemotherapies (see CLINICAL TRIALS). Adverse reactions are reported for the duration of exposure (Table 3). 1 months) for chemotherapy. 8) a. 1 b. Adverse reactions are based on MedDRA preferred terms (PTs).

Please see the SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Box at the beginning of the PART 1: HEALTH PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION. Cardiovascular QTc Interval Prolongation Xospata has been associated with prolonged cardiac ventricular repolarization (QT interval).
6% of patients had an increase from baseline QTcF greater than 60 msec. 2 mg gilteritinib fumarate). hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, low- substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, talc, titanium dioxide, ferric oxide XOSPATA (gilteritinib) Page 8 of 30 the start of the next two months of treatment, and then as clinically indicated.
Interrupt and/or reduce Xospata dosage in patients who have a QTcF >500 msec (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION; ADVERSE REACTIONS; ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacodynamics). Hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia may increase the QT prolongation risk.
Monitor and correct hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia prior to and during Xospata administration. Driving and Operating Machinery Xospata has the potential to influence the ability to drive and use machines. Dizziness and syncope have been reported in patients taking Xospata and should be considered when assessing a patient’s ability to drive or use machines.
9% of 319 patients treated with Xospata monotherapy in clinical trials. Evaluate and monitor patients who develop signs and symptoms suggestive of pancreatitis. Xospata should be interrupted and can be resumed at a reduced dose when the signs and symptoms of pancreatitis have resolved (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION; ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Neurologic Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Uncommon events of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) have been reported with symptoms including seizure and altered mental status. Symptoms have resolved after discontinuation of Xospata.
A diagnosis of PRES requires confirmation by brain imaging, preferably magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Discontinue Xospata in patients who develop PRES (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION; ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Xospata is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to this drug or to any ingredient in the formulation, including any non-medicinal ingredient, or component of the container. For a complete listing, see DOSAGE FORMS, STRENGTHS, COMPOSITION AND PACKAGING.

Interrupt Xospata if severe signs and/or symptoms persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids. Resume Xospata at the same dose when signs and symptoms improve to Gradea 2 or lower. Symptoms of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) Discontinue Xospata.
QTc interval 500 msec Interrupt Xospata. Resume Xospata at 80 mg when QTc interval returns to within 30 msec of baseline or ≤ 480 msec. QTc interval increased by >30 msec on ECG on day 8 of cycle 1 Confirm with ECG on day 9. If confirmed, consider dose reduction to 80 mg.
Pancreatitis Interrupt Xospata until pancreatitis is resolved. Resume Xospata at 80 mg. Other Gradea 3 or greater toxicity considered related to Xospata Interrupt Xospata. Resume Xospata at 80 mg when the toxicity resolves or improves to Gradea 1.
Planned HSCT Interrupt Xospata one week prior to administration of the conditioning regimen for HSCT. Treatment with Xospata can be resumed ≥ 30 days after HSCT if engraftment is successful, and the patient does not have grade ≥2 acute graft versus host disease and is in CRcb HSCT: hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; ECG: electrocardiogram a.
Grade 1 is mild, Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is serious, Grade 4 is life threatening. b. Composite complete remission (CRc) is defined as the remission rate of all CR, CRp (achieved CR except for incomplete platelet recovery [<100 x 109/L]) and CRi (achieved all criteria for CR except for incomplete haematological recovery with residual neutropenia <1 x 109/L with or without complete platelet recovery).
3 Reconstitution Not applicable. 4 Administration Administer Xospata tablets orally about the same time each day. Do not break or crush tablets. 5 Missed Dose Xospata should be administered at about the same time each day. If a dose is missed or not taken at the usual time, the dose should be administered as soon as possible on the same day, and patients should return to the normal schedule the following day.
Do not administer 2 doses within 12 hours. If vomiting occurs after dosing, patients should not take another dose but should return to the normal schedule the following day.
Reproductive Health:
Female and Male Potential Reproduction Pregnancy testing: Pregnancy testing is recommended for female patients of reproductive potential within seven days prior to initiating treatment with Xospata.
Contraception:
Female patients of reproductive potential should be advised of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose of Xospata (see NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY).
Male Patients:
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 4 months after the last dose of Xospata (see NON- CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY). Fertility No human data on the effect of Xospata on fertility are available.
Based on findings in animal studies, Xospata may impair fertility in male patients of reproductive potential (see NON-CLINICAL XOSPATA (gilteritinib) Page 9 of 30 TOXICOLOGY). 4%) experienced differentiation syndrome. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells and may be life-threatening or fatal if not treated.
Symptoms and clinical findings of differentiation syndrome in patients treated with Xospata included fever, dyspnea, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, pulmonary edema, hypotension, rapid weight gain, peripheral edema, rash, and renal dysfunction.
Some cases had concomitant acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 1 day and up to 82 days after Xospata initiation and has been observed with or without concomitant leukocytosis (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
If differentiation syndrome is suspected, initiate corticosteroids and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution. Taper corticosteroids after resolution of symptoms. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment.
If severe signs and/or symptoms persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of corticosteroids, interrupt Xospata until signs and symptoms are no longer severe (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). 1 Pregnant Women There are no available data on Xospata use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes.
In animal studies, administration of gilteritinib to pregnant rats caused embryo-fetal deaths, suppressed fetal growth, and teratogenicity at maternal exposures below the exposure in patients receiving the recommended dose (see NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY).
Based on findings from animal studies, Xospata can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Xospata should not be used in women who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy. If Xospata is used in pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking Xospata, the patient should be apprised of potential hazard to the fetus.
2 Breast-feeding There is no information regarding the presence of Xospata in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. In animal studies, Xospata and/or its metabolite(s) were distributed to the tissues in infant rats via the milk.
