Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely variable conditions, adverse event rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates of clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In CLL/SLL, the safety population reflects exposure to VENCLEXTA as monotherapy in patients in M13-982, M14-032, and M12-175 and in combination with obinutuzumab or rituximab in patients in CLL14 and MURANO. In this CLL/SLL safety population, the most common adverse reactions (≥20%) for VENCLEXTA were neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, diarrhea, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, cough, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and edema. In the CLL/SLL safety population that reflects exposure to VENCLEXTA in combination with acalabrutinib, the most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were neutropenia, headache, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, and COVID-19. In AML, the safety population reflects exposure to VENCLEXTA in combination with decitabine, azacitidine, or low-dose cytarabine in patients in M14-358, VIALE-A, and VIALE-C. In this safety population, the most common adverse reactions (≥30% in any trial) were nausea, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, constipation, neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, fatigue, vomiting, edema, pyrexia, pneumonia, dyspnea, hemorrhage, anemia, rash, abdominal pain, sepsis, musculoskeletal pain, dizziness, cough, oropharyngeal pain, and hypotension.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma VENCLEXTA in Combination with Acalabrutinib The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with acalabrutinib (VEN+A) (N=291) versus fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide plus rituximab or bendamustine plus rituximab (FCR/BR) (N=259) was evaluated in AMPLIFY, a randomized, multicenter, open-label study in patients with previously untreated CLL . The median duration of exposure to VENCLEXTA was 11.1 months (range: 2 to 14 months) and to acalabrutinib was 12.9 months (range: 1 to 18 months) in the VEN+A arm. Among patients who received VEN+A, 96% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 91% were exposed for greater than one year. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 25% of patients receiving VEN+A. The most common adverse reaction (≥2%) were COVID-19 including COVID-19 pneumonia (9%), second primary malignancies (2.7%), and neutropenia (2.1%). Fatal adverse events occurred in 3.4% of patients.

The most common fatal adverse events included COVID-19 and COVID-19 pneumonia. In the VEN+A arm, adverse reactions led to treatment discontinuation in 8% of patients. Neutropenia led to discontinuation of VENCLEXTA in 0.3% of patients, dose reduction in 7%, and dose interruption in 21%. Table 10 presents adverse reactions identified in AMPLIFY. Table 10.

The denominator used to calculate the rate varied between 256 and 290 based on the number of patients with a baseline value and at least one post-treatment value. Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities that developed in ≥15% of patients treated with VEN+A include absolute neutrophil count decreased (15%). VENCLEXTA in Combination with Obinutuzumab The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with obinutuzumab (VEN+G) (N=212) versus obinutuzumab in combination with chlorambucil (GClb) (N=214) was evaluated in CLL14, a randomized, open-label, actively controlled trial in patients with previously untreated CLL . Patients randomized to the VEN+G arm were treated with VENCLEXTA and obinutuzumab in combination for six cycles, then with VENCLEXTA as monotherapy for an additional six cycles. Patients initiated the first dose of the 5-week ramp-up for VENCLEXTA on Day 22 of Cycle 1 and once completed, continued VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily for a total of 12 cycles.

The trial required a total Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) >6 or CLcr <70 mL/min, hepatic transaminases and total bilirubin ≤2 times upper limit of normal and excluded patients with any individual organ/system impairment score of 4 by CIRS except eye, ear, nose, and throat organ system. The median duration of exposure to VENCLEXTA was 10.5 months (range: 0 to 13.5 months) and the median number of cycles of obinutuzumab was 6 in the VEN+G arm. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 49% of patients in the VEN+G arm, most often due to febrile neutropenia and pneumonia (5% each). Fatal adverse reactions that occurred in the absence of disease progression and with onset within 28 days of the last study treatment were reported in 2% (4/212) of patients, most often from infection.

In the VEN+G arm, adverse reactions led to treatment discontinuation in 16% of patients, dose reduction in 21%, and dose interruption in 74%. Neutropenia led to discontinuation of VENCLEXTA in 2% of patients, dose reduction in 13%, and dose interruption in 41%. Table 12 presents adverse reactions identified in CLL14. Table 12.

VENCLEXTA in Combination with Rituximab The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with rituximab (VEN+R) (N=194) versus bendamustine in combination with rituximab (B+R) (N=188) was evaluated in MURANO . Patients randomized to VEN+R completed the scheduled ramp-up (5 weeks) and received VENCLEXTA 400 mg once daily, in combination with rituximab for 6 cycles followed by VENCLEXTA monotherapy, for a total of 24 months after ramp-up.

At the time of analysis, the median duration of exposure to VENCLEXTA was 22 months and the median number of cycles of rituximab was 6 in the VEN+R arm. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 46% of patients in the VEN+R arm, with most frequent (≥5%) being pneumonia (9%). Fatal adverse reactions that occurred in the absence of disease progression and within 30 days of the last VENCLEXTA treatment and/or 90 days of last rituximab were reported in 2% (4/194) of patients. In the VEN+R arm, adverse reactions led to treatment discontinuation in 16% of patients, dose reduction in 15%, and dose interruption in 71%. Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia each led to discontinuation of VENCLEXTA in 3% of patients.

Neutropenia led to dose interruption of VENCLEXTA in 46% of patients. Table 14 presents adverse reactions identified in MURANO. Table 14.

VENCLEXTA as Monotherapy The safety of VENCLEXTA was evaluated in pooled data from three single-arm trials (M13-982, M14-032, and M12-175). Patients received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily after completing the ramp-up phase (N=352). The median duration of treatment with VENCLEXTA at the time of data analysis was 14.5 months (range: 0 to 50 months). Fifty-two percent of patients received VENCLEXTA for more than 60 weeks. In the pooled dataset, the median age was 66 years (range: 28 to 85 years), 93% were White, and 68% were male. The median number of prior therapies was 3 (range: 0 to 15). Serious adverse reactions were reported in 52% of patients, with the most frequent (≥5%) being pneumonia (9%), febrile neutropenia (5%), and sepsis (5%). Fatal adverse reactions that occurred in the absence of disease progression and within 30 days of venetoclax treatment were reported in 2% of patients in the VENCLEXTA monotherapy studies, most often (2 patients) from septic shock.

Adverse reactions led to treatment discontinuation in 9% of patients, dose reduction in 13%, and dose interruption in 36%. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to drug discontinuation were thrombocytopenia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The most frequent adverse reaction (≥5%) leading to dose reductions or interruptions was neutropenia (8%). Table 16 presents adverse reactions identified in these trials. Table 16.

Important Adverse Reactions in CLL/SLL Tumor Lysis Syndrome Tumor lysis syndrome is an important identified risk when initiating VENCLEXTA. CLL14 The incidence of TLS was 1% (3/212) in patients treated with VEN+G . All three events of TLS resolved and did not lead to withdrawal from the trial.

Obinutuzumab administration was delayed in two cases in response to the TLS events. MURANO The incidence of TLS was 3% (6/194) in patients treated with VEN+R. After 77/389 patients were enrolled in the trial, the protocol was amended to incorporate the current TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures described in sections 2.2 and 2.4 . All events of TLS occurred during the VENCLEXTA ramp-up period and were resolved within two days. All six patients completed the ramp-up and reached the recommended daily dose of 400 mg of VENCLEXTA. No clinical TLS was observed in patients who followed the current 5-week ramp-up schedule and TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures . Rates of laboratory abnormalities relevant to TLS for patients treated with VEN+R are presented in Table 14. Monotherapy Studies (M13-982 and M14-032) In 168 patients with CLL treated according to recommendations described in sections 2.1 and 2.2, the rate of TLS was 2% . All events either met laboratory TLS criteria (laboratory abnormalities that met ≥2 of the following within 24 hours of each other: potassium >6 mmol/L, uric acid >476 µmol/L, calcium <1.75 mmol/L, or phosphorus >1.5 mmol/L), or were reported as TLS events.

The events occurred in patients who had a lymph node(s) ≥5 cm and/or absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥25 x 10 9 /L. All events resolved within 5 days. No TLS with clinical consequences such as acute renal failure, cardiac arrhythmias, or sudden death and/or seizures was observed in these patients. All patients had CLcr ≥50 mL/min.

Laboratory abnormalities relevant to TLS were hyperkalemia (17% all Grades, 1% Grade ≥3), hyperphosphatemia (14% all Grades, 2% Grade ≥3), hypocalcemia (16% all Grades, 2% Grade ≥3), and hyperuricemia (10% all Grades, <1% Grade ≥3). In the initial Phase 1 dose-finding trials, which had shorter (2-3 week) ramp-up phase and higher starting doses, the incidence of TLS was 13% (10/77; 5 laboratory TLS, 5 clinical TLS), including 2 fatal events and 3 events of acute renal failure, 1 requiring dialysis. After this experience, TLS risk assessment, dosing regimen, TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures were revised . Acute Myeloid Leukemia VENCLEXTA in Combination with Azacitidine The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine (VEN+AZA) (N=283) versus placebo in combination with azacitidine (PBO+AZA) (N=144) was evaluated in VIALE-A, a double-blind, randomized trial, in patients with newly diagnosed AML . At baseline, patients were ≥75 years of age or had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy based on at least one of the following criteria: baseline ECOG performance status of 2-3, severe cardiac or pulmonary comorbidity, moderate hepatic impairment, CLcr <45 mL/min, or other comorbidity. Patients were randomized to receive VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily after completion of the ramp-up phase in combination with azacitidine (75 mg/m 2 either intravenously or subcutaneously on Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle) or placebo in combination with azacitidine.

Among patients who received VEN+AZA, the median duration of exposure to VENCLEXTA was 7.6 months (range: <0.1 to 30.7 months). Serious adverse reactions were reported in 83% of patients who received VEN+AZA, with the most frequent (≥5%) being febrile neutropenia (30%), pneumonia (22%), sepsis (excluding fungal; 19%), and hemorrhage (6%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 23% of patients who received VEN+AZA, with the most frequent (≥2%) being pneumonia (4%), sepsis (excluding fungal; 3%), and hemorrhage (2%). Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of VENCLEXTA in 24% of patients, dose reductions in 2%, and dose interruptions in 72%. Adverse reactions which led to discontinuation of VENCLEXTA in ≥2% of patients were sepsis (excluding fungal; 3%) and pneumonia (2%). The most frequent adverse reaction leading to dose reduction was pneumonia (0.7%). Adverse reactions which required a dose interruption in ≥5% of patients included febrile neutropenia (20%), neutropenia (20%), pneumonia (14%), sepsis (excluding fungal; 11%), and thrombocytopenia (10%). Among patients who achieved bone marrow clearance of leukemia, 53% underwent dose interruptions for absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <500/microliter.

VENCLEXTA in Combination with Azacitidine or Decitabine The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine (N=67) or decitabine (N=13) was evaluated in M14-358, a non-randomized trial of patients with newly diagnosed AML. At baseline, patients were ≥75 years of age, or had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy based on at least one of the following criteria: baseline ECOG performance status of 2-3, severe cardiac or pulmonary comorbidity, moderate hepatic impairment, CLcr <45 mL/min, or other comorbidity . Patients received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily after completion of the ramp-up phase in combination with azacitidine (75 mg/m 2 either intravenously or subcutaneously on Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle) or decitabine (20 mg/m 2 intravenously on Days 1-5 of each 28-day cycle). Azacitidine The median duration of exposure to VENCLEXTA when administered in combination with azacitidine was 6.5 months (range: 0.1 to 38.1 months). The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine in this trial is consistent with that of VIALE-A. Decitabine The median duration of exposure to VENCLEXTA when administered in combination with decitabine was 8.4 months (range: 0.5 to 39 months). Serious adverse reactions were reported in 85% of patients who received VENCLEXTA with decitabine, the most frequent (≥10%) being sepsis (excluding fungal; 46%), febrile neutropenia (38%), and pneumonia (31%). One (8%) fatal adverse reaction of bacteremia occurred within 30 days of starting treatment. Permanent discontinuation of VENCLEXTA due to adverse reactions occurred in 38% of patients.

The most frequent adverse reaction leading to permanent discontinuation (≥5%) was pneumonia (8%). Dosage reductions of VENCLEXTA due to adverse reactions occurred in 15% of patients. The most frequent adverse reaction leading to dose reduction (≥5%) was neutropenia (15%). Dosage interruptions of VENCLEXTA due to adverse reactions occurred in 69% of patients. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to dose interruption (≥10%) were neutropenia (38%), febrile neutropenia (23%), leukopenia (15%), and pneumonia (15%).

VENCLEXTA in Combination with Low-Dose Cytarabine VIALE-C The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with low-dose cytarabine (VEN+LDAC) (N=142) versus placebo with low-dose cytarabine (PBO+LDAC) (N=68) was evaluated in VIALE-C, a double-blind randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed AML. At baseline, patients were ≥75 years of age, or had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy based on at least one of the following criteria: baseline ECOG performance status of 2-3, severe cardiac or pulmonary comorbidity, moderate hepatic impairment, CLcr <45 mL/min, or other comorbidity . Patients were randomized to receive VENCLEXTA 600 mg orally once daily after completion of a 4-day ramp-up phase in combination with low-dose cytarabine (20 mg/m 2 subcutaneously once daily on Days 1-10 of each 28-day cycle) or placebo in combination with low-dose cytarabine.

Among patients who received VEN+LDAC, the median duration of exposure to VENCLEXTA was 3.9 months (range: <0.1 to 17.1 months). Serious adverse reactions were reported in 65% of patients who received VEN+LDAC, with the most frequent (≥10%) being pneumonia (17%), febrile neutropenia (16%), and sepsis (excluding fungal; 12%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 23% of patients who received VEN+LDAC, with the most frequent (≥5%) being pneumonia (6%) and sepsis (excluding fungal; 7%). Adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of VENCLEXTA in 25% of patients, dose reductions in 9%, and dose interruptions in 63%. The most frequent adverse reaction (>2%) which resulted in permanent discontinuation of VENCLEXTA was pneumonia (6%). Adverse reactions which required a dose reduction in ≥1% of patients were pneumonia (1%) and thrombocytopenia (1%), and the adverse reactions which required a dose interruption in ≥5% of patients included neutropenia (20%), thrombocytopenia (15%), pneumonia (8%), febrile neutropenia (6%), and sepsis (excluding fungal; 6%). Among patients who achieved bone marrow clearance of leukemia, 32% underwent dose interruptions for ANC <500/microliter. Table 20 presents adverse reactions identified in VIALE-C. Table 20.

M14-387 The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with low-dose cytarabine (N=61) was evaluated in M14-387, a non-randomized, open- label trial of patients with newly diagnosed AML . At baseline, patients were ≥75 years of age, or had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy based on at least one of the following criteria: baseline ECOG performance status of 2-3, severe cardiac or pulmonary comorbidity, moderate hepatic impairment, CLcr <45 mL/min, or other comorbidity. Patients received VENCLEXTA 600 mg orally once daily after completion of the ramp-up phase in combination with low-dose cytarabine (20mg/m 2 subcutaneously on Days 1-10 of each 28-day cycle). The safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with low-dose cytarabine is consistent with that of VIALE-C.

Warnings & Cautions for Venclexta

Tumor Lysis Syndrome Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), including fatal events and renal

failure requiring dialysis, has occurred in patients treated with VENCLEXTA. VENCLEXTA can cause rapid reduction in tumor and thus poses a risk for TLS at initiation and during the ramp-up phase in all patients, and during reinitiation after dosage interruption in patients with CLL/SLL. Changes in blood chemistries consistent with TLS that require prompt management can occur as early as 6 to 8 hours following the first dose of VENCLEXTA and at each dose increase. TLS, including fatal cases, has been reported after a single 20 mg dose of VENCLEXTA. In patients with CLL/SLL who followed the current (5-week) dose ramp-up and the TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures, the rate of TLS was 2% in the VENCLEXTA CLL/SLL monotherapy trials. The rate of TLS remained consistent with VENCLEXTA in combination with obinutuzumab or rituximab.

With a 2- to 3-week dose ramp-up and higher starting dose in patients with CLL/SLL, the TLS rate was 13% and included deaths and renal failure . In patients with AML who followed the current 3-day ramp-up dosing schedule and the TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures, the rate of TLS was 1.1% in patients who received VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine (VIALE-A). In patients with AML who followed a 4-day ramp-up dosing schedule and the TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures, the rate of TLS was 5.6% and included deaths and renal failure in patients who received VENCLEXTA in combination with low-dose cytarabine (VIALE-C). The risk of TLS is a continuum based on multiple factors, particularly reduced renal function, tumor burden, and type of malignancy. Splenomegaly may also increase the risk of TLS in patients with CLL/SLL. Assess all patients for risk and provide appropriate prophylaxis for TLS, including hydration and anti-hyperuricemics. Monitor blood chemistries and manage abnormalities promptly.

Employ more intensive measures (intravenous hydration, frequent monitoring, hospitalization) as overall risk increases. Interrupt dosing if needed; when restarting VENCLEXTA, follow dose modification guidance. Concomitant use of VENCLEXTA with P-gp inhibitors or strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increases venetoclax exposure, which may increase the risk of TLS at initiation and during the ramp-up phase of VENCLEXTA. For patients with CLL/SLL, coadministration of VENCLEXTA with strong CYP3A inhibitors at initiation and during the 5-week ramp-up phase is contraindicated.

For patients with AML, reduce the dose of VENCLEXTA when coadministered with strong CYP3A inhibitors at initiation and during the 3- or 4-day ramp-up phase. For patients with CLL/SLL or AML, reduce the dose of VENCLEXTA when coadministered with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or P-gp inhibitors.

Neutropenia

In patients with CLL, Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia developed in 63% to 64% of patients and Grade 4 neutropenia developed in 31% to 33% of patients when treated with VENCLEXTA in monotherapy studies and in combination studies with obinutuzumab or rituximab. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 4% to 6% of patients treated with VENCLEXTA in monotherapy studies and in combination studies with obinutuzumab or rituximab . In patients with CLL, Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia developed in 38% of patients and Grade 4 neutropenia developed in 15% of patients when treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with acalabrutinib. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 2% of patients treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with acalabrutinib . In patients with AML, baseline neutrophil counts worsened in 95% to 100% of patients treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine, decitabine, or low-dose cytarabine.

Neutropenia can recur with subsequent cycles. Monitor complete blood counts throughout the treatment period. For interruption and dose resumption of VENCLEXTA for severe neutropenia, see Table 5 and Table 6 for CLL and Table 7 for AML. Consider supportive measures, including antimicrobials and growth factors (e.g., G-CSF).

Infections Fatal and serious infections, such as pneumonia and sepsis, have occurred

in patients treated with VENCLEXTA . Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat promptly. Withhold VENCLEXTA for Grade 3 and 4 infection until resolution. For dose resumptions, see Table 5 and Table 6 for CLL and Table 7 for AML . In AMPLIFY, a randomized study in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL, serious or grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 14% of patients who received VENCLEXTA in combination with acalabrutinib (VEN+A), most commonly due to COVID-19. In an additional cohort of patients receiving VENCLEXTA in combination with acalabrutinib and obinutuzumab (AVO) (an unapproved regimen for previously untreated CLL/SLL in AMPLIFY), serious or Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 25% receiving AVO compared to 14% in patients receiving VEN+A. Fatal infections occurred in 6% receiving AVO compared to 3.1% of patients receiving VEN+A, most commonly due to COVID-19. The safety and effectiveness of AVO has not been established in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL .

Immunization Do not administer live attenuated vaccines prior to, during, or after

treatment with VENCLEXTA until B-cell recovery occurs. The safety and efficacy of immunization with live attenuated vaccines during or following VENCLEXTA therapy have not been studied. Advise patients that vaccinations may be less effective.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, VENCLEXTA may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In an embryo-fetal study conducted in mice, administration of venetoclax to pregnant animals at exposures equivalent to that observed in patients at a dose of 400 mg daily resulted in post-implantation loss and decreased fetal weight. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VENCLEXTA and for 30 days after the last dose .

Increased Mortality in Patients with Multiple Myeloma when

VENCLEXTA is Added to Bortezomib and Dexamethasone In a randomized trial (BELLINI; NCT02755597) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, the addition of VENCLEXTA to bortezomib plus dexamethasone, a use for which VENCLEXTA is not indicated, resulted in increased mortality. Treatment of patients with multiple myeloma with VENCLEXTA in combination with bortezomib plus dexamethasone is not recommended outside of controlled clinical trials.

Drug Interactions with Venclexta

Effects of Other Drugs on

VENCLEXTA Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors or P-gp Inhibitors Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor or a P-gp inhibitor increases venetoclax C max and AUC 0-INF , which may increase VENCLEXTA toxicities, including the risk of TLS . Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inhibitor at initiation and during the ramp-up phase in patients with CLL/SLL is contraindicated . In patients with CLL/SLL taking a steady daily dosage (after ramp-up phase), consider alternative medications or adjust VENCLEXTA dosage and monitor more frequently for adverse reactions . In patients with AML, adjust VENCLEXTA dosage and monitor more frequently for adverse reactions . Resume the VENCLEXTA dosage that was used prior to concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor or a P-gp inhibitor 2 to 3 days after discontinuation of the inhibitor . Avoid grapefruit products, Seville oranges, and starfruit during treatment with VENCLEXTA, as they contain inhibitors of CYP3A. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases venetoclax C max and AUC 0-INF , which may decrease VENCLEXTA efficacy. Avoid concomitant use of VENCLEXTA with strong CYP3A inducers or moderate CYP3A inducers.

Effect of

VENCLEXTA on Other Drugs Warfarin Concomitant use of VENCLEXTA increases warfarin C max and AUC 0-INF , which may increase the risk of bleeding. Monitor international normalized ratio (INR) more frequently in patients using warfarin concomitantly with VENCLEXTA. P-gp Substrates Concomitant use of VENCLEXTA increases C max and AUC 0-INF of P-gp substrates , which may increase toxicities of these substrates. Avoid concomitant use of VENCLEXTA with a P-gp substrate.

If a concomitant use is unavoidable, separate dosing of the P-gp substrate at least 6 hours before VENCLEXTA.

Pregnancy Safety for Venclexta

Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action , VENCLEXTA may cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on VENCLEXTA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Administration of venetoclax to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis was fetotoxic at exposures 1.2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 400 mg daily based on AUC. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Data Animal data In embryo-fetal development studies, venetoclax was administered to pregnant mice and rabbits during the period of organogenesis. In mice, venetoclax was associated with increased post-implantation loss and decreased fetal body weight at 150 mg/kg/day (maternal exposures approximately 1.2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 400 mg once daily). No teratogenicity was observed in either the mouse or the rabbit.

Pediatric Use of Venclexta

Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of VENCLEXTA have not been established in pediatric patients. Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data In a juvenile toxicology study, mice were administered venetoclax at 10, 30, or 100 mg/kg/day by oral gavage from 7 to 60 days of age. Clinical signs of toxicity included decreased activity, dehydration, skin pallor, and hunched posture at ≥30 mg/kg/day.

In addition, mortality and body weight effects occurred at 100 mg/kg/day. Other venetoclax-related effects were reversible decreases in lymphocytes at ≥10 mg/kg/day; a dose of 10 mg/kg/day is approximately 0.06 times the clinical dose of 400 mg on a mg/m 2 basis for a 20 kg child.

Contraindications for Venclexta

Concomitant use of VENCLEXTA with strong CYP3A inhibitors at initiation and during the ramp-up phase is contraindicated in patients with CLL/SLL due to the potential for increased risk of tumor lysis syndrome . Concomitant use with strong CYP3A inhibitors at initiation and during ramp-up phase in patients with CLL/SLL is contraindicated.

Overdosage Information for Venclexta

There is no specific antidote for VENCLEXTA. For patients who experience overdose, closely monitor and provide appropriate supportive treatment; during ramp-up phase interrupt VENCLEXTA and monitor carefully for signs and symptoms of TLS along with other toxicities . Based on venetoclax large volume of distribution and extensive protein binding, dialysis is unlikely to result in significant removal of venetoclax.

Clinical Studies of Venclexta

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

In Combination with Acalabrutinib AMPLIFY (ACE-CL-311) was a randomized, multi-center, open-label study (NCT03836261) that evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with acalabrutinib (VEN+A). The study included patients previously untreated for CLL without del(17p) or TP53 mutation that were 18 years of age and older. Patients were randomized to receive: VENCLEXTA plus acalabrutinib (VEN+A): Acalabrutinib 100 mg was administered twice daily starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 for a total of 14 cycles or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. On Cycle 3 Day 1, patients started the VENCLEXTA 5-week dose-titration schedule, starting at 20 mg and increasing weekly to 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg and finally 400 mg once daily.

VENCLEXTA was administered for a total of 12 cycles. Each cycle was 28 days. Investigator’s choice of chemoimmunotherapy (FCR/BR): Fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide plus rituximab (FCR): Fludarabine (25 mg/m 2 ) and cyclophosphamide (250 mg/m 2 ) were administered on Days 1–3 up to a maximum of 6 cycles.

Rituximab was administered at a dose of 375 mg/m 2 on Day 1 Cycle 1 and 500 mg/m 2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2 up to 6. Each cycle was 28 days. Bendamustine plus rituximab (BR): Bendamustine 90 mg/m 2 was administered on Days 1 and 2 up to maximum of 6 cycles. Rituximab was administered at a dose of 375 mg/m 2 on Day 1 Cycle 1 and 500 mg/m 2 on Day 1 of Cycles 2 up to 6. Each cycle was 28 days.

An additional investigational combination regimen . Patients were stratified by age (>65 years or ≤65), IgVH mutational status (mutated versus unmutated), Rai stage (high risk versus non-high risk) and geographic region (North America and Europe versus other). In the efficacy population described in Table 22, overall median age was 61 years (range: 26 to 86 years) and 62% were males; 89% were White, 3.8% Asian, 1.7% were Black or African American, 0.3% American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.3% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and 4.8% not reported; 86% were not Hispanic or Latino, 7% Hispanic or Latino, and 7% not reported. The ECOG performance was 0-1 in 90%, bulky disease with nodes ≥5 cm was seen in 41%, 45% had Rai stage III or IV disease, 17% had 11q deletion and 58% had unmutated IgVH. The major efficacy outcome was based on progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) of the VEN+A arm versus the Investigator’s choice (FCR/BR) arm. The median duration of follow-up for PFS was 42.6 months (range: 1 to 59 months) in the VEN+A arm.

Efficacy results are presented in Table 22. The Kaplan-Meier curve for IRC-assessed PFS is shown in Figure 1. Table 22.

Kaplan-Meier Curve of IRC-Assessed Progression-free Survival in AMPLIFY With a median follow-up of 41.0 months, a total of 60 death events were reported with 18 in the VEN+A arm and 42 in the FCR/BR arm. In Combination with Obinutuzumab CLL14 (BO25323) was a randomized (1:1), multicenter, open-label, actively controlled trial (NCT02242942) that evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with obinutuzumab (VEN+G) versus obinutuzumab in combination with chlorambucil (GClb) for patients with previously untreated CLL with coexisting medical conditions (total Cumulative Illness Rating Scale score >6 or CLcr <70 mL/min). The trial required hepatic transaminases and total bilirubin ≤2 times upper limit of normal and excluded patients with Richter’s transformation or any individual organ/system impairment score of 4 by CIRS except eye, ear, nose, and throat organ system.

All patients received obinutuzumab at 1000 mg on Days 1 (the first dose could be split as 100 mg and 900 mg on Days 1 and 2), 8 and 15 of Cycle 1, and on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle for a total of 6 cycles. Patients in the VEN+G arm began the VENCLEXTA 5-week ramp-up dosing schedule on Day 22 of Cycle 1 and received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily from Cycle 3 Day 1 until the last day of Cycle 12. Patients randomized to the GClb arm received chlorambucil 0.5 mg/kg orally on Day 1 and Day 15 of Cycles 1 to 12. Each cycle was 28 days. A total of 432 patients were randomized, 216 to each arm.

Baseline demographic and disease characteristics were similar between the arms. The median age was 72 years (range: 41 to 89 years), 89% were White, 67% were male; 36% and 43% were Binet stage B and C, respectively, and 88% had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status <2. The median CIRS score was 8.0 (range: 0 to 28) and 58% of patients had CLcr <70 mL/min. A 17p deletion was detected in 8% of patients, TP53 mutations in 10%, 11q deletion in 19%, and unmutated IgVH in 57%. Efficacy was based on progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC). The median duration of follow-up for PFS was 28 months (range: 0 to 36 months). Efficacy results for CLL14 are shown in Table 23. The Kaplan-Meier curve for PFS is shown in Figure 2. Table 23.

Kaplan-Meier Curve of IRC-Assessed Progression-free Survival in CLL14 At the time of analysis, median overall survival (OS) had not been reached, with fewer than 10% of patients experiencing an event. The median duration of follow-up for OS was 28 months.

Minimal residual disease (MRD) was evaluated using allele-specific oligonucleotide polymerase chain reaction (ASO-PCR). The definition of negative status was less than one CLL cell per 10 4 leukocytes. Rates of MRD negativity 3 months after the completion of treatment regardless of response and in patients who achieved CR are shown in Table 24. At this assessment, 134 patients in the VEN+G arm who were MRD negative in peripheral blood had matched bone marrow specimens; of these, 122 patients (91%) were MRD negative in both peripheral blood and bone marrow.

Twelve months after the completion of treatment, MRD negativity rates in peripheral blood were 58% (126/216) in patients treated with VEN+G and 9% (20/216) in patients treated with GClb. In Combination with Rituximab MURANO was a randomized (1:1), multicenter, open-label trial (NCT02005471) that evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with rituximab (VEN+R) versus bendamustine in combination with rituximab (B+R) in patients with CLL who had received at least one line of prior therapy. Patients in the VEN+R arm completed the VENCLEXTA 5-week ramp-up dosing schedule and received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily for 24 months from Cycle 1 Day 1 of rituximab in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Rituximab was initiated after the 5-week dose ramp-up at a dose of 375 mg/m 2 intravenously on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and 500 mg/m 2 intravenously on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6. Patients randomized to B+R received bendamustine 70 mg/m 2 intravenously on Days 1 and 2 for 6 cycles in combination with rituximab at the above described dose and schedule. Each cycle was 28 days. A total of 389 patients were randomized: 194 to the VEN+R arm and 195 to the B+R arm.

Baseline demographic and disease characteristics were similar between the VEN+R and B+R arms. The median age was 65 years (range: 22 to 85 years), 97% were White, 74% were male, and 99% had ECOG performance status <2. Median prior lines of therapy was 1 (range: 1 to 5); 59% had received 1 prior therapy, 26% had received 2 prior therapies, and 16% had received 3 or more prior therapies. Prior therapies included alkylating agents (94%), anti-CD20 antibodies (77%), B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors (2%), and prior purine analogs (81%, including fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/rituximab in 55%). A 17p deletion was detected in 24% of patients, TP53 mutations in 25%, 11q deletion in 32%, and unmutated IgVH in 63%. Efficacy was based on PFS as assessed by an IRC. The median follow-up for PFS was 23.4 months (range: 0 to 37.4+ months). Efficacy results for MURANO are shown in Table 25. The Kaplan-Meier curve for PFS is shown in Figure 3. Table 25.

Figure 3. Kaplan-Meier Curve of IRC-Assessed Progression-free Survival in MURANO At 3 months after the last dose of rituximab, the MRD negativity rate in peripheral blood in patients who achieved PR or better was 54% (104/194) in the VEN+R arm and 12% (23/195) in the B+R arm. The MRD-negative CR/CRi rate at this timepoint was 3% (6/194) in the VEN+R arm and 2% (3/195) in the B+R arm. 71-Month Follow-Up With an overall follow-up of 71 months, the investigator-assessed median PFS was 53.6 months (95% CI: 48.4, 57.0) in the VEN+R arm and 17.0 months (95% CI: 15.5, 21.7) in the B+R arm.

Median OS had not been reached in either arm. Death occurred in 16% (32/194) of patients in the VEN+R arm and 33% (64/195) of patients in the B+R arm (stratified HR 0.40; 95% CI ). The Kaplan-Meier curve for OS is shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. Kaplan-Meier Curve of Overall Survival in MURANO Monotherapy The efficacy of VENCLEXTA monotherapy in previously treated CLL or SLL is based on three single-arm trials. M13-982 M13-982 (NCT01889186) was an open-label, multicenter trial that enrolled 106 patients with CLL with 17p deletion who had received at least one prior therapy.

In the trial, 17p deletion was confirmed in peripheral blood specimens from patients using Vysis CLL FISH Probe Kit, which is FDA approved for selection of patients for VENCLEXTA treatment. Patients received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily following completion of the ramp-up dosing schedule . Efficacy was based on overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by an IRC. Table 26 summarizes the baseline demographic and disease characteristics of the trial population. Table 26.

The median time to first response was 0.8 months (range: 0.1 to 8.1 months). Based on a later data cutoff date and investigator-assessed efficacy, the duration of response (DOR) ranged from 2.9 to 32.8+ months. The median DOR has not been reached with median follow-up of 22 months. Minimal residual disease was evaluated in peripheral blood and bone marrow for patients who achieved CR or CRi, following treatment with VENCLEXTA. Three percent (3/106) achieved MRD negativity in the peripheral blood and bone marrow (less than one CLL cell per 10 4 leukocytes). M12-175 M12-175 (NCT01328626) was an open-label, multicenter trial that enrolled previously treated patients with CLL or SLL, including those with 17p deletion.

Efficacy was evaluated in 67 patients (59 with CLL, 8 with SLL) who had received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily following completion of a ramp-up dosing schedule. Patients continued this dose until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of treatment at the time of evaluation was 22.1 months (range: 0.5 to 71.7 months). The median age was 65 years (range: 42 to 84 years), 78% were male and 87% were White.

The median number of prior treatments was 3 (range: 1 to 11). At baseline, 67% of patients had one or more nodes ≥5 cm, 30% of patients had ALC ≥25 x 10 9 /L, 33% had documented unmutated IgVH, and 21% had documented 17p deletion. Efficacy was based on 2008 IWCLL guidelines and assessed by an IRC. The ORR was 76% (95% CI: 64%, 86%), with a CR + CRi rate of 10% and PR rate of 66%. The median DOR was 36.2 months (range: 2.4 to 52.4 months). M14-032 M14-032 (NCT02141282) was an open-label, multicenter trial that enrolled patients with CLL who had been previously treated with and progressed on or after ibrutinib or idelalisib. Patients received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily following completion of the ramp-up dosing schedule . Patients continued this dose until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

At the time of analysis, the median duration of treatment was 19.5 months (range: 0.1 to 39.5 months). Of the 127 patients treated (91 with prior ibrutinib, 36 with prior idelalisib), the median age was 66 years (range: 28 to 85 years), 70% were male and 92% were White. The median number of prior treatments was 4 (range: 1 to 15). At baseline, 41% of patients had one or more nodes ≥5 cm, 31% had an ALC ≥25 x 10 9 /L, 57% had documented unmutated IgVH, and 39% had documented 17p deletion. Efficacy was based on 2008 IWCLL guidelines and was assessed by an IRC. The ORR was 70% (95% CI: 61%, 78%), with a CR + CRi rate of 5% and PR rate of 65%. The median DOR was not reached with a median follow-up time of 19.9 months (range: 2.9 to 36 months).

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

VENCLEXTA was studied in adult patients with newly diagnosed AML who were 75 years or older, or had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy based on at least one of the following criteria: baseline ECOG performance status of 2-3, severe cardiac or pulmonary comorbidity, moderate hepatic impairment, CLcr <45 mL/min, or other comorbidity. In Combination with Azacitidine or Decitabine VIALE-A was a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial (NCT02993523) that evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine (VEN+AZA) versus placebo with azacitidine (PBO+AZA). Patients received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily on Days 1-28 following completion of the ramp-up dosing schedule or placebo in combination with azacitidine 75 mg/m 2 either intravenously or subcutaneously on Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1. During the ramp-up, patients received TLS prophylaxis and were hospitalized for monitoring. Once bone marrow assessment confirmed a remission, defined as less than 5% leukemia blasts with cytopenia following Cycle 1 treatment, VENCLEXTA or placebo was interrupted up to 14 days or until ANC ≥500/microliter and platelet count ≥50 × 10 3 /microliter.

For patients with resistant disease at the end of Cycle 1, a bone marrow assessment was performed after Cycle 2 or 3 and as clinically indicated. Azacitidine was resumed on the same day as VENCLEXTA or placebo following interruption. Azacitidine dose reduction was implemented in the clinical trial for management of hematologic toxicity . Patients continued treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

A total of 431 patients were randomized: 286 to the VEN+AZA arm and 145 to the PBO+AZA arm. The baseline demographic and disease characteristic are shown in Table 28. Table 28.

CR (complete remission) was defined as absolute neutrophil count >1,000/microliter, platelets >100,000/microliter, red blood cell transfusion independence, and bone marrow with <5% blasts. Absence of circulating blasts and blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease.

CRh (complete remission with partial hematological recovery) was defined as <5% of blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (platelets >50,000/microliter and ANC >500/microliter). a Kaplan-Meier estimate. b Hazard ratio estimate (VEN+AZA vs. PBO+AZA) is based on Cox-proportional hazards model stratified by cytogenetics (intermediate risk, poor risk) and age (18 to <75, ≥75 years) as assigned at randomization; p-value based on log-rank test stratified by the same factors. c p-value is from Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test stratified by age and cytogenetics risk. d Duration of CR is defined as the number of days from the date of first response of CR to the date of earliest evidence of confirmed morphologic relapse, confirmed progressive disease or death due to disease progression. e Duration of CR+CRh is defined as the number of days from the date of first response of CR+CRh (the first of either CR or CRh) to the date of earliest evidence of confirmed morphologic relapse, confirmed progressive disease, or death due to disease progression. Among the patients treated with VEN+AZA, 155 were dependent on red blood cell (RBC) and/or platelets transfusions at baseline; of these patients, 49% (76/155) became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period.

Of the patients treated with VEN+AZA, 131 were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 69% (90/131) remained transfusion independent during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period. Among the patients treated with PBO+AZA, 81 were dependent on RBC and/or platelets transfusions at baseline; of these patients, 27% (22/81) patients became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period. Of the patients treated with PBO+AZA, 64 were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 42% (27/64) remained transfusion independent during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period.

The median time to first response of CR or CRh was 1.0 months (range: 0.6 to 14.3 months) with VEN+AZA treatment. M14-358 M14-358 (NCT02203773) was a non-randomized, open-label trial that evaluated the efficacy of VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine (N=84) or decitabine (N=31) in patients with newly diagnosed AML. Of those patients, 67 who received azacitidine combination and 13 who received decitabine combination were 75 years or older, or had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy. Patients received VENCLEXTA 400 mg orally once daily following completion of the ramp-up dosing schedule in combination with azacitidine (75 mg/m 2 either intravenously or subcutaneously on Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1) or decitabine (20 mg/m 2 intravenously on Days 1-5 of each 28-day cycle beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1). During the ramp-up phase, patients received TLS prophylaxis and were hospitalized for monitoring.

Patients continued treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Once bone marrow assessment confirmed a remission, defined as less than 5% leukemia blasts, with cytopenia following Cycle 1 treatment, VENCLEXTA was interrupted up to 14 days or until ANC ≥500/microliter and platelet count ≥50 × 10 3 /microliter. Azacitidine dose reduction was implemented in the clinical trial for management of hematologic toxicity . Dose reductions for decitabine were not implemented in the clinical trial.

The efficacy results are shown in Table 31. Table 31. Efficacy Results for Patients with Newly Diagnosed AML Treated with VENCLEXTA in Combination with Azacitidine or Decitabine Efficacy Outcomes VENCLEXTA + Azacitidine N = 67 VENCLEXTA + Decitabine N = 13 CR, n (%) 29 7 (95% CI) CRh, n (%) 12 1 (95% CI) CI = confidence interval; CR = complete remission; CRh = complete remission with partial hematological recovery. The median follow-up was 15.9 months (range: 0.4 to 40.3 months) for VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine.

The median duration of CR was 23.8 months (95% CI: 15.4, -), and the median duration of CR+CRh was 26.5 months (95% CI: 17.4, -). The median follow-up was 11.0 months (range: 0.7 to 38.8 months) for VENCLEXTA in combination with decitabine. The median duration of CR was 12.7 months (95% CI: 1.4, -) and median duration of CR+CRh was 12.7 months (95% CI: 1.4, 20.0). Duration of CR is defined as time from the first documentation of CR to the first date of relapse, clinical disease progression or death due to disease progression, whichever occurred earliest. Duration of CR+CRh is defined as time from the first documentation of either CR or CRh to the first date of relapse, clinical disease progression or death due to disease progression, whichever occurred earliest.

Median time to first CR or CRh for patients treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine was 1.0 month (range: 0.7 to 8.9 months). Median time to first CR or CRh for patients treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with decitabine was 1.9 months (range: 0.8 to 4.2 months). Of patients treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine, 12% (8/67) subsequently received stem cell transplant. The trial enrolled 35 additional patients (age range: 65 to 74 years) who did not have known comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy and were treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine (N=17) or decitabine (N=18). For the 17 patients treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine, the CR rate was 35% (95% CI: 14%, 62%). The CRh rate was 41% (95% CI: 18%, 67%). Nine (53%) patients subsequently received stem cell transplant. For the 18 patients treated with VENCLEXTA in combination with decitabine, the CR rate was 56% (95% CI: 31%, 79%). The CRh rate was 22% (95% CI: 6.4%, 48%). Four (22%) patients subsequently received stem cell transplant.

In Combination with Low-Dose Cytarabine VIALE-C was a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial (NCT03069352) that evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLEXTA in combination with low-dose cytarabine (VEN+LDAC) versus placebo with low-dose cytarabine (PBO+LDAC). Patients received VENCLEXTA 600 mg orally once daily on Days 1-28 following completion of the ramp-up dosing schedule or placebo in combination with cytarabine 20 mg/m 2 subcutaneously once daily on Days 1-10 of each 28-day cycle beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1. During the ramp-up phase, patients received TLS prophylaxis and were hospitalized for monitoring. Once bone marrow assessment confirmed a remission, defined as less than 5% leukemia blasts with cytopenia following Cycle 1 treatment, VENCLEXTA or placebo was interrupted up to 14 days or until ANC ≥500/microliter and platelet count ≥50 × 10 3 /microliter. For patients with resistant disease at the end of Cycle 1, a bone marrow assessment was performed after Cycle 2 or 3 and as clinically indicated.

LDAC was resumed on the same day as VENCLEXTA or placebo following interruption. Patients continued to receive treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Efficacy was based on the rate of CR and duration of CR with supportive evidence of rate of CR+CRh, duration of CR+CRh, and the rate of conversion from transfusion dependence to transfusion independence. The CR rate in the VEN+LDAC arm was 27% (95% CI: 20%, 35%) with a median duration of CR of 11.1 months (95% CI: 6.1, -), and the CR rate in the PBO+LDAC arm was 7.4% (95% CI: 2.4%, 16%) with a median duration of CR of 8.3 months (95% CI: 3.1, - ). The CR+CRh rate in the VEN+LDAC arm was 47% (95% CI: 39%, 55%) and in the PBO+LDAC arm was 15% (95% CI: 7.3%, 25%) with a median duration of CR+CRh of 11.1 months with VEN+LDAC treatment and 6.2 months with PBO+LDAC treatment.

The median time to first response of CR or CRh was 1.0 month (range: 0.7 to 5.8 months) with VEN+LDAC treatment. Among the patients treated with VEN+LDAC, 111 were dependent on RBC and/or platelets transfusions at baseline; of these patients, 33% (37/111) patients became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period. Of the patients treated with VEN+LDAC, 32 were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 50% (16/32) remained transfusion independent during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period.

Among the patients treated with PBO+LDAC, 55 were dependent on RBC and/or platelets transfusions at baseline; of these patients, 13% (7/55) patients became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period. Of the patients treated with PBO+LDAC, 13 were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 31% (4/13) remained transfusion independent during any consecutive ≥56-day post-baseline period. VEN+LDAC did not significantly improve OS versus PBO+LDAC. The hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 0.75 (95% CI: 0.52, 1.07); p-value 0.114. The median OS for VEN+LDAC arm was 7.2 months (95% CI: 5.6, 10.1) and for PBO+LDAC arm was 4.1 months (95% CI: 3.1, 8.8). M14-387 M14-387 (NCT02287233) was a non-randomized, open-label trial that evaluated the efficacy of VEN+LDAC (N=82) in patients with newly diagnosed AML, including patients with previous exposure to a hypomethylating agent for an antecedent hematologic disorder.

Of those patients, 61 were 75 years or older, or had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy. Patients received VENCLEXTA 600 mg orally once daily on Days 1-28 following completion of the ramp-up phase in combination with cytarabine 20 mg/m 2 subcutaneously once daily on Days 1-10 of each 28-day cycle beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1. During the ramp-up, patients received TLS prophylaxis and were hospitalized for monitoring. Once bone marrow assessment confirmed a remission, defined as less than 5% leukemia blasts with cytopenia following Cycle 1 treatment, VENCLEXTA was interrupted up to 14 days or until ANC ≥500/microliter and platelet count ≥50 × 10 3 /microliter.
