5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML) : MDS/AML occurred in patients exposed to TALZENNA, and some cases were fatal. Monitor patients for hematological toxicity and discontinue if MDS/AML is confirmed.
1 ) • Myelosuppression : TALZENNA may affect hematopoiesis and can cause anemia, neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia. 2 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : TALZENNA can cause fetal harm. Advise of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception.

1) ] . 3, 1, 2, 3, and 5 years. Most of these patients had received previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA damaging agents including radiotherapy. Do not start TALZENNA until patients have adequately recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy.
Monitor blood counts monthly during treatment with TALZENNA. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt TALZENNA and monitor blood counts weekly until recovery. If counts do not recover within 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics.
If MDS/AML is confirmed, discontinue TALZENNA. 1) ] . Grade ≥3 anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were reported, respectively, in 39%, 21%, and 15% of patients receiving TALZENNA as a single agent. 3% of patients. In TALAPRO-2, Grade ≥3 anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were reported, respectively, in 48%, 19%, and 9% of patients receiving TALZENNA and enzalutamide.
Forty-two percent of patients (216/511) required a red blood cell transfusion, including 25% (127/511) who required more than one transfusion. 4% of patients. Withhold TALZENNA until patients have adequately recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous therapy.
