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 data described below reflect exposure to dasatinib administered as single-agent therapy at all doses tested in clinical studies (n = 2809), including 324 adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML and 2388 adult patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant chronic or advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, and 97 pediatric patients with chronic phase CML. The median duration of therapy in a total of 2712 adult patients was 19.2 months (range 0 to 93.2 months). In a randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, the median duration of therapy was approximately 60 months. The median duration of therapy in 1618 adult patients with chronic phase CML was 29 months (range 0 to 92.9 months). The median duration of therapy in 1094 adult patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL was 6.2 months (range 0 to 93.2 months). In two non-randomized trials in 97 pediatric patients with chronic phase CML (51 patients newly diagnosed and 46 patients resistant or intolerant to previous treatment with imatinib), the median duration of therapy was 51.1 months (range 1.9 to 99.6 months). In the overall population of 2712 adult patients, 88% of patients experienced adverse reactions at some time and 19% experienced adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation.

In the randomized trial in adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, drug was discontinued for adverse reactions in 16% of patients with a minimum of 60 months of follow- up. After a minimum of 60 months of follow-up, the cumulative discontinuation rate was 39%. Among the 1618 patients with chronic phase CML, drug-related adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were reported in 329 (20.3%) patients; among the 1094 patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, drug-related adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were reported in 191 (17.5%) patients. Among the 97 pediatric subjects, drug-related adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were reported in 1 patient (1%). Adverse reactions reported in ≥ 10% of adult patients, and other adverse reactions of interest, in a randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML at a median follow-up of approximately 60 months are presented in Table 6. Adverse reactions reported in ≥ 10% of adult patients treated at the recommended dose of 100 mg once daily (n=165), and other adverse reactions of interest, in a randomized dose-optimization trial of patients with chronic phase CML resistant or intolerant to prior imatinib therapy at a median follow-up of approximately 84 months are presented in Table 8. Adverse reactions reported in ≥10% of pediatric patients at a median follow-up of approximately 51.1 months are presented in Table 11. Drug-related serious adverse reactions (SARs) were reported for 16.7% of adult patients in the randomized trial of patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML. Serious adverse reactions reported in 5% of patients included pleural effusion (5%). Drug-related SARs were reported for 26.1% of patients treated at the recommended dose of 100 mg once daily in the randomized dose-optimization trial of adult patients with chronic phase CML resistant or intolerant to prior imatinib therapy.

Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥ 5% of patients included pleural effusion (10%). Drug-related SARs were reported for 14.4% of pediatric patients. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Adverse reactions (excluding laboratory abnormalities) that were reported in at least 10% of adult patients are shown in Table 6 for newly diagnosed patients with chronic phase CML and Tables 8 and 10 for CML patients with resistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy.

Laboratory Abnormalities Myelosuppression was commonly reported in all patient populations. The frequency of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia was higher in patients with advanced phase CML than in chronic phase CML (Tables 12 and 13). Myelosuppression was reported in patients with normal baseline laboratory values as well as in patients with pre-existing laboratory abnormalities. In patients who experienced severe myelosuppression, recovery generally occurred following dose interruption or reduction; permanent discontinuation of treatment occurred in 2% of adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML and 5% of adult patients with resistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy . Grade 3 or 4 elevations of transaminases or bilirubin and Grade 3 or 4 hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, and hypophosphatemia were reported in patients with all phases of CML but were reported with an increased frequency in patients with myeloid or lymphoid blast phase CML. Elevations in transaminases or bilirubin were usually managed with dose reduction or interruption.

Patients developing Grade 3 or 4 hypocalcemia during dasatinib therapy often had recovery with oral calcium supplementation. Laboratory abnormalities reported in adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML are shown in Table 12. There were no discontinuations of dasatinib therapy in this patient population due to biochemical laboratory parameters.

Among adult patients with chronic phase CML with resistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy, cumulative Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias were similar at 2 and 5 years including: neutropenia (36% vs 36%), thrombocytopenia (23% vs 24%), and anemia (13% vs 13%). In the pediatric studies in CML, the rates of laboratory abnormalities were consistent with the known profile for laboratory parameters in adults. Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in Adults A total of 135 adult patients with Ph+ ALL were treated with dasatinib in clinical studies. The median duration of treatment was 3 months (range 0.03-31 months). The safety profile of patients with Ph+ ALL was similar to those with lymphoid blast phase CML. The most frequently reported adverse reactions included fluid retention events, such as pleural effusion (24%) and superficial edema (19%), and gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhea (31%), nausea (24%), and vomiting (16%). Hemorrhage (19%), pyrexia (17%), rash (16%), and dyspnea (16%) were also frequently reported.

Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of patients included pleural effusion (11%), gastrointestinal bleeding (7%), febrile neutropenia (6%), and infection (5%). Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in Pediatric Patients The safety of dasatinib administered continuously in combination with multiagent chemotherapy was determined in a multicohort study of 81 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL. . The median duration of therapy was 24 months (range 2 to 27 months). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3 patients (4%), all of which were due to infections. Eight (10%) patients experienced adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation, including fungal sepsis, hepatotoxicity in the setting of graft versus host disease, thrombocytopenia, CMV infection, pneumonia, nausea, enteritis and drug hypersensitivity. The most common serious adverse reactions (incidence ≥10%) were pyrexia, febrile neutropenia, mucositis, diarrhea, sepsis, hypotension, infections (bacterial, viral and fungal), hypersensitivity, vomiting, renal insufficiency, abdominal pain, and musculoskeletal pain.

The incidence of common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) on study are shown in Table 14: Table 14: Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥20% of Pediatric Patients with Ph+ ALL Treated with dasatinib in Combination with Chemotherapy CA180372 (N=81) Percent (%) of Patients Adverse Reaction All Grades Grade 3/4 Mucositis 93 60 Febrile neutropenia 86 86 Pyrexia 85 17 Diarrhea 84 31 Nausea 84 11 Vomiting 83 17 Musculoskeletal pain 83 25 Abdominal pain 78 17 Cough 78 1 Headache 77 15 Rash 68 7 Fatigue 59 3 Constipation 57 1 Arrhythmia 47 12 Hypertension 47 10 Edema 47 6 Viral infection 40 12 Hypotension 40 26 Decreased appetite 38 22 Hypersensitivity 36 20 Upper respiratory tract infection 36 10 Dyspnea 35 10 Epistaxis 31 6 Peripheral neuropathy 31 7 Sepsis (excluding fungal) n/a 31 Altered state of consciousness 30 4 Fungal infection 30 11 Pneumonia (excluding fungal) 28 25 Pruritus 28 - Clostridial infection (excluding sepsis) 25 14 Urinary Tract Infection 24 14 Bacteremia (excluding fungal) 22 20 Erythema 22 6 Chills 21 - Pleural effusion 21 9 Sinusitis 21 10 Dehydration 20 9 Renal insufficiency 20 9 Visual impairment 20 - The incidence of common adverse reactions attributed by the investigator to dasatinib (reported at a frequency of ≥10%, all grades and grade 3/4, respectively) on study (N=81), included febrile neutropenia (23%, 23%), nausea (21%, 4%), vomiting (19%, 4%), mucositis (17%, 6%), musculoskeletal pain (17%, 2%), abdominal pain (16%, 5%), diarrhea (16%, 7%), rash (15%, 0%), fatigue (12%, 0%), pyrexia (12%, 6%), and headache (12%, 5%).

Postmarketing Experience

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of dasatinib. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Infections: hepatitis B virus reactivation Cardiac disorders: atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders: interstitial lung disease, chylothorax Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome Renal and urinary disorders: nephrotic syndrome Blood and lymphatic system disorders: thrombotic microangiopathy Hepatobiliary disorders: hepatotoxicity

Warnings & Cautions for Phyrago

Myelosuppression Treatment with dasatinib is associated with severe (NCI

CTCAE Grade 3 or 4) thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia, which occur earlier and more frequently in patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL than in patients with chronic phase CML . In patients with chronic phase CML, perform complete blood counts (CBCs) every 2 weeks for 12 weeks, then every 3 months thereafter, or as clinically indicated. In patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, perform CBCs weekly for the first 2 months and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. In pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL treated with PHYRAGO in combination with chemotherapy, perform CBCs prior to the start of each block of chemotherapy and as clinically indicated.

During the consolidation blocks of chemotherapy, perform CBCs every 2 days until recovery. Myelosuppression is generally reversible; withhold, reduce, or discontinue PHYRAGO based on severity .

Bleeding-Related Events

PHYRAGO can cause serious and fatal bleeding. In all CML or Ph+ ALL clinical studies, Grade ≥3 central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhages, including fatalities, occurred in <1% of patients receiving dasatinib. The incidence of Grade 3/4 hemorrhage occurred in 5.8% of adult patients and generally required treatment interruptions and transfusions.

The incidence of Grade 5 hemorrhage occurred in 0.4% of adult patients. The most frequent site of hemorrhage was gastrointestinal . Most bleeding events in clinical studies were associated with severe thrombocytopenia. In addition to causing thrombocytopenia in human subjects, dasatinib caused platelet dysfunction in vitro.

Concomitant medications that inhibit platelet function or anticoagulants may increase the risk of hemorrhage.

Fluid Retention

PHYRAGO may cause fluid retention . After 5 years of follow-up in the adult randomized newly diagnosed chronic phase CML study (n=258), Grade 3 or 4 fluid retention was reported in 5% of patients, including 3% of patients with Grade 3 or 4 pleural effusion. In adult patients with newly diagnosed or imatinib-resistant or -intolerant chronic phase CML, Grade 3 or 4 fluid retention occurred in 6% of patients treated with dasatinib at the recommended dose (n=548). In adult patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL treated with dasatinib, the recommended dose (n=304), Grade 3 or 4 fluid retention was reported in 8% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 pleural effusion reported in 7% of patients. In pediatric patients with chronic phase CML, cases of Grade 1 or 2 fluid retention were reported in 10.3% of patients.

Evaluate patients who develop symptoms of pleural effusion or other fluid retention, such as new or worsened dyspnea on exertion or at rest, pleuritic chest pain, or dry cough, promptly with a chest x-ray or additional diagnostic imaging as appropriate. Fluid retention events were typically managed by supportive care measures that may include diuretics or short courses of steroids. Severe pleural effusion may require thoracentesis and oxygen therapy.

Consider dose reduction or treatment interruption .

Cardiovascular Toxicity

PHYRAGO can cause cardiac dysfunction . After 5 years of follow-up in the randomized newly diagnosed chronic phase CML trial in adults (n=258), the following cardiac adverse reactions occurred: cardiac ischemic events (3.9% dasatinib vs 1.6% imatinib), cardiac-related fluid retention (8.5% dasatinib vs 3.9% imatinib), and conduction system abnormalities, most commonly arrhythmia and palpitations (7.0% dasatinib vs 5.0% imatinib). Two cases (0.8%) of peripheral arterial occlusive disease occurred with imatinib and 2 (0.8%) transient ischemic attacks occurred with dasatinib. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms consistent with cardiac dysfunction and treat appropriately.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

PHYRAGO may increase the risk of developing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adult and pediatric patients which may occur any time after initiation, including after more than 1 year of treatment. Manifestations include dyspnea, fatigue, hypoxia, and fluid retention . PAH may be reversible on discontinuation of PHYRAGO. Evaluate patients for signs and symptoms of underlying cardiopulmonary disease prior to initiating PHYRAGO and during treatment. If PAH is confirmed, PHYRAGO should be permanently discontinued.

QT Prolongation

PHYRAGO may increase the risk of prolongation of QTc in patients including those with hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, patients with congenital long QT syndrome, patients taking antiarrhythmic medicines or other medicinal products that lead to QT prolongation, and cumulative high-dose anthracycline therapy . Correct hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia prior to and during PHYRAGO administration.

Severe Dermatologic Reactions Cases of severe mucocutaneous dermatologic reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome

and erythema multiforme, have been reported in patients treated with dasatinib. Discontinue permanently in patients who experience a severe mucocutaneous reaction during treatment if no other etiology can be identified.

Tumor Lysis Syndrome Tumor lysis syndrome has been reported in patients with

resistance to prior imatinib therapy, primarily in advanced phase disease. Due to potential for tumor lysis syndrome, maintain adequate hydration, correct uric acid levels prior to initiating therapy with PHYRAGO and monitor electrolyte levels. Patients with advanced stage disease and/or high tumor burden may be at increased risk and should be monitored more frequently .

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on limited human data, dasatinib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Adverse pharmacologic effects of dasatinib, including hydrops fetalis, fetal leukopenia, and fetal thrombocytopenia have been reported with maternal exposure to dasatinib. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PHYRAGO and for 30 days after the last dose . 5.10 Effects on Growth and Development in Pediatric Patients In pediatric trials of dasatinib in chronic phase CML after at least 2 years of treatment, adverse reactions associated with bone growth and development were reported in 5 (5.2%) patients, one of which was severe in intensity (Growth Retardation Grade 3). These 5 cases included cases of epiphyses delayed fusion, osteopenia, growth retardation, and gynecomastia . Of these 5 cases, 1 case of osteopenia and 1 case of gynecomastia resolved during treatment.

Monitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients. 5.11 Hepatotoxicity PHYRAGO may cause hepatotoxicity as measured by elevations in bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase . Monitor transaminases at baseline and monthly or as clinically indicated during treatment. Reduce dose, withhold, or permanently discontinue PHYRAGO based on severity . When dasatinib is administered in combination with chemotherapy, liver toxicity in the form of transaminase elevation and hyperbilirubinemia has been observed. Monitor hepatic function when PHYRAGO is used in combination with chemotherapy.

Drug Interactions with Phyrago

Effect of Other Drugs on Dasatinib Strong

CYP3A4 Inhibitors The coadministration with strong CYP3A inhibitors may increase dasatinib concentrations . Increased dasatinib concentrations may increase the risk of toxicity. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. If concomitant administration of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided, consider a dose reduction . Strong CYP3A4 Inducers The coadministration of PHYRAGO with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease dasatinib concentrations . Decreased dasatinib concentrations may reduce efficacy.

Consider alternative drugs with less enzyme induction potential. If concomitant administration of a strong CYP3A4 inducer cannot be avoided, consider a dose increase . Antacids Avoid concomitant use of PHYRAGO with antacids. If concomitant use of an antacid cannot be avoided, administer the antacid at least 2 hours prior to or 2 hours after the dose of PHYRAGO . Concomitant use with antacids decreases dasatinib plasma concentrations , which may reduce PHYRAGO efficacy.

Pregnancy Safety for Phyrago

  • Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on limited human data, PHYRAGO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Adverse pharmacologic effects including hydrops fetalis, fetal leukopenia, and fetal thrombocytopenia have been reported with maternal exposure to dasatinib. Animal reproduction studies in rats have demonstrated extensive mortality during organogenesis, the fetal period, and in neonates. Skeletal malformations were observed in a limited number of surviving rat and rabbit conceptuses. These findings occurred at dasatinib plasma concentrations below those in humans receiving therapeutic doses of dasatinib [see Data] . Advise a pregnant woman of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Transplacental transfer of dasatinib has been reported. Dasatinib has been measured in fetal plasma and amniotic fluid at concentrations comparable to those in maternal plasma. Hydrops fetalis, fetal leukopenia, and fetal thrombocytopenia have been reported with maternal exposure to dasatinib. These adverse pharmacologic effects on the fetus are similar to adverse reactions observed in adult patients and may result in fetal harm or neonatal death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.3 )] . Data Human Data Based on human experience, dasatinib is suspected to cause congenital malformations, including neural tube defects, and harmful pharmacological effects on the fetus when administered during pregnancy. Animal Data In nonclinical studies at plasma concentrations below those observed in humans receiving therapeutic doses of dasatinib, embryo-fetal toxicities were observed in rats and rabbits. Fetal death was observed in rats. In both rats and rabbits, the lowest doses of dasatinib tested (rat: 2.5 mg/kg/day [15 mg/m 2 /day] and rabbit: 0.5 mg/kg/day [6 mg/m 2 /day]) resulted in embryo-fetal toxicities. These doses produced maternal AUCs of 105 ng
  • h/mL and 44 ng
  • h/mL (0.1-fold the human AUC) in rats and rabbits, respectively. Embryo-fetal toxicities included skeletal malformations at multiple sites (scapula, humerus, femur, radius, ribs, and clavicle), reduced ossification (sternum; thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae; forepaw phalanges; pelvis; and hyoid body), edema, and microhepatia. In a pre- and postnatal development study in rats, administration of dasatinib from gestation day (GD) 16 through lactation day (LD) 20, GD 21 through LD 20, or LD 4 through LD 20 resulted in extensive pup mortality at maternal exposures that were below the exposures in patients treated with dasatinib at the recommended labeling dose.

Pediatric Use of Phyrago

Pediatric Use Ph+ CML in Chronic Phase The safety and effectiveness of dasatinib monotherapy have been demonstrated in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML. There are no data in children under 1 year of age. Adverse reactions associated with bone growth and development were reported in 5 (5.2%) of patients . Ph+ ALL The safety and effectiveness of dasatinib in combination with chemotherapy have been demonstrated in pediatric patients one year and over with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL. Use of dasatinib in pediatric patients is supported by evidence from one pediatric study. There are no data in children under 1 year of age.

One case of grade 1 osteopenia was reported. The safety profile of dasatinib in pediatric subjects was comparable to that reported in studies in adult subjects . Monitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients . Pediatric Patients with Difficulty Swallowing Tablets Five patients with Ph+ ALL 2 to 10 years of age received at least one dose of dasatinib tablet dispersed in juice on Study CA180372. The exposure for dispersed tablets was 36% lower as compared to intact tablets in pediatric patients. Due to unavailable clinical data, it is unclear whether dispersing PHYRAGO tablets significantly alters the safety and/or efficacy of PHYRAGO.

Contraindications for Phyrago

4. CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None.

Overdosage Information for Phyrago

10. OVERDOSAGE Experience with overdose of dasatinib in clinical studies is limited to isolated cases. The highest overdosage of 280 mg per day for 1 week was reported in two patients and both developed severe myelosuppression and bleeding. Since dasatinib is associated with severe myelosuppression, monitor patients who ingest more than the recommended dosage closely for myelosuppression and give appropriate supportive treatment.

Acute overdose in animals was associated with cardiotoxicity. Evidence of cardiotoxicity included ventricular necrosis and valvular/ventricular/atrial hemorrhage at single doses ≥100 mg/kg (600 mg/m 2 ) in rodents. There was a tendency for increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure in monkeys at single doses ≥10 mg/kg (120 mg/m 2 ).

Clinical Studies of Phyrago

Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase

CML in Adults DASISION (Dasatinib vs Imatinib Study in Treatment-Naive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients) ( NCT00481247 ) was an open-label, multicenter, international, randomized trial conducted in adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML. A total of 519 patients were randomized to receive either dasatinib 100 mg once daily or imatinib 400 mg once daily. Patients with a history of cardiac disease were included in this trial except those who had a myocardial infarction within 6 months, congestive heart failure within 3 months, significant arrhythmias, or QTc prolongation. The primary endpoint was the rate of confirmed complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) within 12 months.

Confirmed CCyR was defined as a CCyR noted on two consecutive occasions (at least 28 days apart). Median age was 46 years in the dasatinib group and 49 years in the imatinib groups, with 10% and 11% of patients ≥65 years of age, respectively. There were slightly more male than female patients in both groups (59% vs 41%). Fifty-three percent of all patients were Caucasian and 39% were Asian. At baseline, the distribution of Hasford scores was similar in the dasatinib and imatinib treatment groups (low risk: 33% and 34%; intermediate risk: 48% and 47%; high risk: 19% and 19%, respectively). With a minimum of 12 months follow-up, 85% of patients randomized to dasatinib and 81% of patients randomized to imatinib were still on study.

With a minimum of 24 months follow-up, 77% of patients randomized to dasatinib and 75% of patients randomized to imatinib were still on study and with a minimum of 60 months follow-up, 61% and 62% of patients, respectively, were still on treatment at the time of study closure. Efficacy results are summarized in Table 16. Table 16: Efficacy Results in a Randomized Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase CML Trial Dasatinib (n=259) Imatinib (n=260) Confirmed CCyR a Within 12 months (95%CI) P-value 76.8% (71.2-81.8) 0.007 * 66.2% (60.1-71.9) Major Molecular Response b 12 months (95% CI) P-value 52.1% (45.9-58.3) <0.0001 33.8% (28.1-39.9) 60 months (95% CI) 76.4% (70.8-81.5) 64.2% (58.1-70.1) a Confirmed CCyR is defined as a CCyR noted on two consecutive occasions at least 28 days apart. b Major molecular response (at any time) was defined as BCR-ABL ratios ≤0.1% by RQ-PCR in peripheral blood samples standardized on the International scale. These are cumulative rates representing minimum follow up for the time frame specified. * Adjusted for Hasford score and indicated statistical significance at a pre-defined nominal level of significance.

CI = confidence interval. The confirmed CCyR within 24, 36, and 60 months for dasatinib versus imatinib arms were 80% versus 74%, 83% versus 77%, and 83% versus 79%, respectively. The MMR at 24 and 36 months for dasatinib versus imatinib arms were 65% versus 50% and 69% versus 56%, respectively.

After 60 months follow-up, median time to confirmed CCyR was 3.1 months in 215 dasatinib responders and 5.8 months in 204 imatinib responders. Median time to MMR after 60 months follow-up was 9.3 months in 198 dasatinib responders and 15.0 months in 167 imatinib responders. At 60 months, 8 patients (3%) on the dasatinib arm progressed to either accelerated phase or blast crisis while 15 patients (6%) on the imatinib arm progressed to either accelerated phase or blast crisis.

The estimated 60-month survival rates for dasatinib- and imatinib-treated patients were 90.9% (CI: 86.6%–93.8%) and 89.6% (CI: 85.2%–92.8%), respectively. Based on data 5 years after the last patient was enrolled in the trial, 83% and 77% of patients were known to be alive in the dasatinib and imatinib treatment groups, respectively, 10% were known to have died in both treatment groups, and 7% and 13% had unknown survival status in the dasatinib and imatinib treatment groups, respectively. At 60 months follow-up in the dasatinib arm, the rate of MMR at any time in each risk group determined by Hasford score was 90% (low risk), 71% (intermediate risk) and 67% (high risk). In the imatinib arm, the rate of MMR at any time in each risk group determined by Hasford score was 69% (low risk), 65% (intermediate risk), and 54% (high risk). BCR-ABL sequencing was performed on blood samples from patients in the newly diagnosed trial who discontinued dasatinib or imatinib therapy.

Among dasatinib-treated patients the mutations detected were T315I, F317I/L, and V299L. Dasatinib does not appear to be active against the T315I mutation, based on in vitro data.

Imatinib-Resistant or -Intolerant

CML or Ph+ ALL in Adults The efficacy and safety of dasatinib were investigated in adult patients with CML or Ph+ ALL whose disease was resistant to or who were intolerant to imatinib: 1158 patients had chronic phase CML, 858 patients had accelerated phase, myeloid blast phase, or lymphoid blast phase CML, and 130 patients had Ph+ ALL. In a clinical trial in chronic phase CML, resistance to imatinib was defined as failure to achieve a complete hematologic response (CHR; after 3 months), major cytogenetic response (MCyR; after 6 months), or complete cytogenetic response (CCyR; after 12 months); or loss of a previous molecular response (with concurrent ≥10% increase in Ph+ metaphases), cytogenetic response, or hematologic response. Imatinib intolerance was defined as inability to tolerate 400 mg or more of imatinib per day or discontinuation of imatinib because of toxicity. Results described below are based on a minimum of 2 years follow-up after the start of dasatinib therapy in patients with a median time from initial diagnosis of approximately 5 years.

Across all studies, 48% of patients were women, 81% were white, 15% were black or Asian, 25% were 65 years of age or older, and 5% were 75 years of age or older. Most patients had long disease histories with extensive prior treatment, including imatinib, cytotoxic chemotherapy, interferon, and stem cell transplant. Overall, 80% of patients had imatinib-resistant disease and 20% of patients were intolerant to imatinib.

The maximum imatinib dose had been 400–600 mg/day in about 60% of the patients and >600 mg/day in 40% of the patients. The primary efficacy endpoint in chronic phase CML was MCyR, defined as elimination (CCyR) or substantial diminution (by at least 65%, partial cytogenetic response) of Ph+ hematopoietic cells. The primary efficacy endpoint in accelerated phase, myeloid blast phase, lymphoid blast phase CML, and Ph+ ALL was major hematologic response (MaHR), defined as either a CHR or no evidence of leukemia (NEL). Chronic Phase CML Dose-Optimization Trial: A randomized, open-label trial ( NCT00123474 ) was conducted in adult patients with chronic phase CML to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dasatinib administered once daily compared with dasatinib administered twice daily.

Patients with significant cardiac diseases, including myocardial infarction within 6 months, congestive heart failure within 3 months, significant arrhythmias, or QTc prolongation were excluded from the trial. The primary efficacy endpoint was MCyR in patients with imatinib-resistant CML. A total of 670 patients, of whom 497 had imatinib-resistant disease, were randomized to the dasatinib 100 mg once-daily, 140 mg once-daily, 50 mg twice-daily, or 70 mg twice-daily group. Median duration of treatment was 22 months.

Efficacy was achieved across all dasatinib treatment groups with the once-daily schedule demonstrating comparable efficacy (non-inferiority) to the twice-daily schedule on the primary efficacy endpoint (difference in MCyR 1.9%; 95% CI ); however, the 100-mg once-daily regimen demonstrated improved safety and tolerability. Efficacy results are presented in Tables 17 and 18 for adult patients with chronic phase CML who received the recommended starting dose of 100 mg once daily. Table 17: Efficacy of Dasatinib in Adult Patients with Imatinib-Resistant or -Intolerant Chronic Phase CML (minimum of 24 months follow-up) All Patients 100 mg Once Daily (n=167) Hematologic Response Rate % (95% CI) CHR a 92% (86-95) Cytogenetic Response Rate % (95% CI) MCyR b 63% (56-71) CCyR 50% (42-58) a CHR (response confirmed after 4 weeks): WBC ≤ institutional ULN, platelets <450,000/mm 3, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, <5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood <20%, and no extramedullary involvement. b MCyR combines both complete (0% Ph+ metaphases) and partial (>0%–35%) responses.

Based on data 7 years after the last patient was enrolled in the trial, 44% were known to be alive, 31% were known to have died, and 25% had an unknown survival status. By 7 years, transformation to either accelerated or blast phase occurred in nine patients on treatment in the 100 mg once-daily treatment group.

Advanced Phase CML and Ph+ ALL Dose-Optimization Trial: One randomized open-label trial ( NCT00123487 ) was conducted in patients with advanced phase CML (accelerated phase CML, myeloid blast phase CML, or lymphoid blast phase CML) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dasatinib administered once daily compared with dasatinib administered twice daily. The primary efficacy endpoint was MaHR. A total of 611 patients were randomized to either the dasatinib 140 mg once-daily or 70 mg twice-daily group. Median duration of treatment was approximately 6 months for both treatment groups.

The once-daily schedule demonstrated comparable efficacy (non-inferiority) to the twice-daily schedule on the primary efficacy endpoint; however, the 140-mg once-daily regimen demonstrated improved safety and tolerability. Response rates for patients in the 140 mg once-daily group are presented in Table 19. Table 19: Efficacy of Dasatinib in Imatinib-Resistant or -Intolerant Advanced Phase CML and Ph+ ALL (Two-Year Results) 140 mg Once Daily Accelerated (n=158) Myeloid Blast (n=75) Lymphoid Blast (n=33) Ph+ ALL (n=40) MaHR a 66% 28% 42% 38% (95% CI) (59-74) (18-40) (26-61) (23-54) CHR a (95% CI) 47% (40-56) 17% (10-28) 21% (9-39) 33% (19-49) NEL a 19% 11% 21% 5% (95% CI) (13-26) (5-20) (9-39) (1-17) MCyR b 39% 28% 52% 70% (95% CI) (31-47) (18-40) (34-69) (54-83) CCyR 32% 17% 39% 50% (95% CI) (25-40) (10-28) (23-58) (34-66) a Hematologic response criteria (all responses confirmed after 4 weeks): Major hematologic response: (MaHR) = complete hematologic response (CHR) + no evidence of leukemia (NEL). CHR: WBC ≤ institutional ULN, ANC ≥1000/mm 3, platelets ≥100,000/mm 3, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, bone marrow blasts ≤5%, <5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood <20%, and no extramedullary involvement. NEL: same criteria as for CHR but ANC ≥500/mm 3 and <1000/mm 3, or platelets ≥20,000/mm 3 and ≤100,000/mm 3. b MCyR combines both complete (0% Ph+ metaphases) and partial (>0%–35%) responses.

CI = confidence interval ULN = upper limit of normal range. In the dasatinib 140 mg once-daily group, the median time to MaHR was 1.9 months (min-max: 0.7-14.5) for patients with accelerated phase CML, 1.9 months (min-max: 0.9-6.2) for patients with myeloid blast phase CML, and 1.8 months (min-max: 0.9-2.8) for patients with lymphoid blast phase CML. In patients with myeloid blast phase CML, the median duration of MaHR was 8.1 months (min- max: 2.7-21.1) and 9.0 (min-max: 1.8-23.1) months for the 140 mg once-daily group and the 70 mg twice-daily group, respectively. In patients with lymphoid blast phase CML, the median duration of MaHR was 4.7 months (min-max: 3.0-9.0) and 7.9 months (min-max: 1.6-22.1) for the 140 mg once-daily group and the 70 mg twice-daily group, respectively.

In patients with Ph+ ALL who were treated with dasatinib 140 mg once-daily, the median duration of MaHR was 4.6 months (min-max: 1.4-10.2). The medians of progression-free survival for patients with Ph+ ALL treated with dasatinib 140 mg once-daily and 70 mg twice-daily were 4.0 months (min- max: 0.4-11.1) and 3.1 months (min-max: 0.3-20.8), respectively.

CML in Pediatric Patients

The efficacy of dasatinib in pediatric patients was evaluated in two pediatric studies of 97 patients with chronic phase CML. Among 97 patients with chronic phase CML treated in two pediatric studies, an open-label, non-randomized dose-ranging trial (NCT00306202) and an open-label, non-randomized, single-arm trial (NCT00777036), 51 patients (exclusively from the single-arm trial) had newly diagnosed chronic phase CML and 46 patients (17 from the dose-ranging trial and 29 from the single-arm trial) were resistant or intolerant to previous treatment with imatinib. Ninety-one of the 97 pediatric patients were treated with dasatinib tablets 60 mg/m 2 once daily (maximum dose of 100 mg once daily for patients with high BSA). Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Baseline demographic characteristics of the 46 imatinib resistant or intolerant patients were: median age 13.5 years (range 2 to 20 years), 78.3% White, 15.2% Asian, 4.4% Black, 2.2% other, and 52% female.

Baseline characteristics of the 51 newly diagnosed patients were: median age 12.8 years (range 1.9 to 17.8 years), 60.8% White, 31.4% Asian, 5.9% Black, 2% Other, and 49% female. Median duration of follow-up was 5.2 years (range 0.5 to 9.3 years) for the imatinib resistant or intolerant patients and 4.5 years (range 1.3 to 6.4 years) for the newly diagnosed patients, respectively. Efficacy results for the two pediatric studies are summarized in Table 20. Table 20 shows increasing trend for response for CCyR, MCyR, and MMR across time (3 months to 24 months). The increasing trend in response for all three endpoints is seen in both the newly diagnosed and imatinib resistant or intolerant patients.

Table 20: Efficacy of Dasatinib in Pediatric Patients with CP-CML Cumulative Response Over Time by Minimum Follow-Up Period 3 months 6 months 12 months 24 months CCyR (95% CI) Newly diagnosed (N = 51) * 43.1% 66.7% 96.1% 96.1% Prior imatinib (N = 46) † 45.7% 71.7% 78.3% 82.6% MCyR (95% CI) Newly diagnosed (N = 51) * 60.8% 90.2% 98.0% 98.0% Prior imatinib (N = 46) † 60.9% 82.6% 89.1% 89.1% MMR (95% CI) Newly diagnosed (N = 51) * 7.8% 31.4% 56.9% 74.5% Prior imatinib (N = 46) † 15.2% 26.1% 39.1% 52.2% * Patients from pediatric study of newly diagnosed CP-CML receiving oral tablet formulation † Patients from pediatric studies of imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CP-CML receiving oral tablet formulation With a median follow-up of 4.5 years in newly diagnosed patients, the median durations of CCyR, MCyR, MMR could not be estimated as more than half of the responding patients had not progressed at the time of data cut-off. Range of duration of response was (2.5+ to 66.5+ months for CCyR), (1.4 to 66.5+ months for MCyR), and (5.4+ to 72.5+ months for subjects who achieved MMR by month 24 and 0.03+ to 72.5+ months for subjects who achieved MMR at any time), where ‘+’ indicates a censored observation. With a median follow-up of 5.2 years in imatinib-resistant or - intolerant patients, the median durations of CCyR, MCyR, and MMR could not be estimated as more than half the responding patients had not progressed at the time of data cut-off.

Range of duration of response was (2.4 to 86.9+ months for CCyR), (2.4 to 86.9+ months for MCyR), and (2.6+ to 73.6+ months for MMR), where ‘+’ indicates a censored observation. The median time to response for MCyR was 2.9 months (95% CI: 2.8 months, 3.5 months) in the pooled imatinib-resistant/intolerant CP-CML patients. The median time to response for CCyR was 3.3 months (95% CI: 2.8 months, 4.7 months) in the pooled imatinib-resistant/intolerant CP-CML patients.

The median time to response for MMR was 8.3 months (95% CI: 5.0 months, 11.8 months) in the pooled imatinib- resistant/intolerant CP-CML patients. The median time to response for MCyR was 3.0 months (95% CI: 2.8 months, 4.3 months) in the newly diagnosed treatment-naïve CP-CML patients. The median time to response for CCyR was 5.5 months (95% CI: 3.0 months, 5.7 months) in the newly diagnosed treatment-naïve CP-CML patients.

The median time to response for MMR was 8.9 months (95% CI: 6.2 months, 11.7 months) in the newly diagnosed treatment-naïve CP-CML patients. In the Phase II pediatric study, 1 newly diagnosed patient and 2 imatinib-resistant or -intolerant patients progressed to blast phase CML.

Ph+

ALL in Pediatric Patients The efficacy of dasatinib in combination with chemotherapy was evaluated in a single cohort (cohort 1) of Study CA180372 (NCT01460160), a multicenter, multiple-cohort study of pediatric patients with newly diagnosed B-cell precursor Ph+ ALL. The 78 patients in cohort 1 received dasatinib at a daily dose of 60 mg/m 2 for up to 24 months, in combination with chemotherapy. The backbone chemotherapy regimen was the AIEOP-BFM ALL 2000 multi-agent chemotherapy protocol. Patients had a median age of 10.4 years (range 2.6 to 17.9 years) and included 20 patients (25%) 2 to 6 years of age, 37 patients (46%) 7 to 12 years of age, and 24 patients (30%) 13 to 17 years of age.

Eighty-two percent of patients were white, and 55% were male. Thirty-two patients (41%) had a white blood cell count (WBC) of ≥50,000 mcl at diagnosis, and 17 patients (22%) had extramedullary disease. Efficacy was established on the basis of 3-year event-free survival (EFS), defined as the time from the start of dasatinib to lack of complete response at the end of the third high risk block, relapse, secondary malignancy, or death from any cause.

The 3-year EFS binary rate for patients on Study CA180372 was 64.1% (95% CI: 52.4, 74.7). At the end of induction, 75 patients (96%) had a bone marrow with <5% lymphoblasts, and 76 patients (97%) achieved this by the end of consolidation.
