Newly Diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML The safety of VANFLYTA (35.4 mg orally once daily with chemotherapy, 26.5 mg to 53 mg orally once daily as maintenance) in adult patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML is based on QuANTUM-First, a randomized, double-blind clinical trial of VANFLYTA (n=265) or placebo (n=268) with chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Among patients who received VANFLYTA, 38% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 30% were exposed for greater than one year. On the VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy arm, 65% and 44% of patients completed induction and consolidation therapy, respectively, compared to 65% and 34% of patients in the placebo plus chemotherapy arm. Serious adverse reactions in ≥5% of patients who received VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy were: febrile neutropenia (11%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients who received VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy, including sepsis (5%), fungal infections (0.8%), brain edema (0.8%), and one case each of febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, cerebral infarction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary embolism, ventricular dysfunction, and cardiac arrest. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction in patients in the VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy arm occurred in 20% of patients. The most frequent (≥2%) adverse reaction which resulted in permanent discontinuation in the VANFLYTA arm was sepsis (5%). Dosage interruptions of VANFLYTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 34% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients in the VANFLYTA arm included neutropenia (11%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and myelosuppression (3%). Dose reductions of VANFLYTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 19% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage reductions in ≥2% of patients in the VANFLYTA arm were neutropenia (9%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and electrocardiogram QT prolonged (4%). The most common adverse reactions (≥10% with a difference between arms of ≥2% compared to placebo), including laboratory abnormalities, were lymphocytes decreased, potassium decreased, albumin decreased, phosphorus decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, magnesium decreased, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, mucositis, nausea, calcium decreased, abdominal pain, sepsis, neutropenia, headache, creatine phosphokinase increased, vomiting, upper respiratory tract infections, hypertransaminasemia, thrombocytopenia, decreased appetite, fungal infections, epistaxis, potassium increased, herpesvirus infections, insomnia, electrocardiogram QT prolonged, magnesium increased, sodium increased, dyspepsia, anemia, and eye irritation.

Dosage And Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Take VANFLYTA tablets orally once daily with or without food at approximately the same time each day. ( 2.2 ) See Full Prescribing Information for recommended VANFLYTA dosage regimen and dosage modifications. ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of AML with VANFLYTA based on the presence of FLT3-ITD mutation positivity [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of FLT3-ITD mutation in AML is available at: http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics. 2.2 Recommended Dosage A treatment course consists of up to 2 cycles of VANFLYTA in combination with induction cytarabine and anthracycline, up to 4 cycles of VANFLYTA in combination with high-dose cytarabine consolidation, and up to 36 cycles of VANFLYTA as maintenance therapy [see Clinical Studies (14) ] or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. VANFLYTA maintenance therapy should be initiated following consolidation chemotherapy upon blood count recovery of absolute neutrophil count >500/mm 3 and platelet count >50,000/mm 3 . See Table 1 for the recommended dosage of VANFLYTA by phase of therapy . Table 1: VANFLYTA Dosage Regimen VANFLYTA Initiation Induction Patients can receive up to 2 cycles of induction. Consolidation Patients can receive up to 4 cycles of consolidation. Maintenance Starting on Day 8 (for 7 + 3 regimen) For 5 + 2 regimen as the second induction cycle, VANFLYTA will be given on Days 6 to 19. Starting on Day 6 Starting on Day 1 Dose 35.4 mg orally once daily 35.4 mg orally once daily Administer 26.5 mg orally once daily Days 1 through 14 of the first cycle if QTcF is less than or equal to 450 ms. Increase the dose to 53 mg once daily on Day 15 of the first cycle if QTcF is less than or equal to 450 ms. Maintain the 26.5 mg once daily dose if QTcF greater than 500 ms was observed during induction or consolidation. Duration (28-day cycles) Two weeks in each cycle (Days 8 to 21) Two weeks in each cycle (Days 6 to 19) Once daily with no break between cycles for up to 36 cycles For patients who proceed to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), VANFLYTA should be stopped 7 days before the start of a conditioning regimen. Administer VANFLYTA orally with or without food at approximately the same time each day. Swallow tablets whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew the tablets. If a dose of VANFLYTA is vomited, do not administer a replacement dose; wait until the next scheduled dose is due. If a dose of VANFLYTA is missed or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible on the same day and return to the usual schedule the following day. The patient should not take two doses on the same day. 2.3 Monitoring and Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions Initiate VANFLYTA only if QTcF is less than or equal to 450 ms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. During induction and consolidation, perform ECGs prior to initiation and then once weekly during VANFLYTA treatment or more frequently as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. During maintenance, perform ECGs prior to initiation, once weekly for at least the first month following dose initiation and escalation, and thereafter as clinically indicated. Escalate the dose only if QTcF is less than or equal to 450 ms [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Correct electrolyte abnormalities (hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia), and if possible, avoid concomitant administration of drugs that prolong the QT interval [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. For recommended dosage modifications due to adverse reactions, see Table 2 . For dosage adjustments due to adverse reactions, see Table 3 . Table 2: Recommended Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] Adverse Reaction Recommended Action Grades are in accordance with National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 (NCI CTCAE v4.03). QTcF between 450 ms and 480 ms (Grade 1) Continue VANFLYTA dose. QTcF between 481 ms and 500 ms (Grade 2) Reduce the dose of VANFLYTA (see Table 3 ) without interruption. Resume VANFLYTA at the previous dose in the next cycle if QTcF has decreased to less than 450 ms. Monitor the patient closely for QT prolongation during the first cycle at the increased dose. QTcF greater than 500 ms (Grade 3) Interrupt VANFLYTA. Resume VANFLYTA at a reduced dose (see Table 3 ) when QTcF returns to less than 450 ms. Maintain the 26.5 mg once daily dose during maintenance if QTcF greater than 500 ms was observed during induction or consolidation. Recurrent QTcF greater than 500 ms (Grade 3) Permanently discontinue VANFLYTA if QTcF greater than 500 ms recurs despite appropriate dose reduction and correction/elimination of other risk factors (e.g., serum electrolyte abnormalities, concomitant QT prolonging medications). Torsades de pointes, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, signs/symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia (Grade 4) Permanently discontinue VANFLYTA. Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic adverse reactions Interrupt VANFLYTA. Resume treatment at the previous dose if adverse reaction improves to Grade 1 or less. Resume treatment at a reduced dose (see Table 3 ) if adverse reaction improves to Grade 2. Discontinue if Grade 3 or 4 adverse reaction persists beyond 28 days. Grade 3 or 4 hypokalemia (<3 mmol/L) or hypomagnesemia (<0.4 mmol/L or <0.9 mg/dL) Interrupt VANFLYTA. Correct hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia according to institutional guidelines. VANFLYTA may be restarted at the previous dose when the adverse reaction improves to Grade 2 or less without symptoms. Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia after achieving remission Recommend bone marrow evaluation. Reduce VANFLYTA dose (see Table 3 ). Table 3: Recommended Dosage Adjustments for Adverse Reactions for VANFLYTA Current Dosage Modified Dosage 53 mg once daily 35.4 mg once daily 35.4 mg once daily 26.5 mg once daily 26.5 mg once daily Interrupt 17.7 mg once daily Interrupt 2.4 Dosage Modifications for Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Reduce the dosage of VANFLYTA when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors as shown in Table 4. If the current dosage is 17.7 mg once daily, interrupt VANFLYTA treatment for the duration of strong CYP3A inhibitor use. After discontinuation of a strong CYP3A inhibitor for 5 half-lives, resume the VANFLYTA dose that was taken before initiating the strong inhibitor [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . Table 4: Dosage Adjustments for Concomitant Use with Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Current Dosage Modified Dosage 53 mg once daily 26.5 mg once daily 35.4 mg once daily 17.7 mg once daily 26.5 mg once daily 17.7 mg once daily

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Table 7: Effect of Other Drugs on VANFLYTA Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Clinical Impact VANFLYTA is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases quizartinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of VANFLYTA adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Reduce the dosage of VANFLYTA [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decreases quizartinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce VANFLYTA efficacy. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VANFLYTA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . QT Interval Prolonging Drugs Clinical Impact VANFLYTA prolongs the QT/QTc interval. Coadministration of VANFLYTA with other drugs that prolong the QT interval may further increase the incidence of QT prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Prevention or Management Monitor patients more frequently with ECG if coadministration of VANFLYTA with drugs known to prolong the QT interval is required. Examples of QT prolonging drugs include but are not limited to antifungal azoles, ondansetron, granisetron, azithromycin, pentamidine, doxycycline, moxifloxacin, atovaquone, prochlorperazine, and tacrolimus. Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Reduce the VANFLYTA dose. ( 2.4 , 7 ) Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7 , 12.3 )

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Quizartinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3. Quizartinib and its major active metabolite AC886 bind to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding domain of FLT3 with comparable affinity, and both had 10-fold lower affinity towards FLT3-ITD mutation compared to FLT3 in a binding assay. Quizartinib and AC886 inhibited FLT3 kinase activity, preventing autophosphorylation of the receptor, thereby inhibiting downstream FLT3 receptor signaling and blocking FLT3-ITD-dependent cell proliferation. Quizartinib showed antitumor activity in a mouse model of FLT3-ITD-dependent leukemia. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of quizartinib have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology In vitro studies have shown that quizartinib is a predominant inhibitor of the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, I Ks . The exposure-response analysis predicted a concentration-dependent QTcF interval median prolongation of 18 and 24 ms [upper bound of 2-sided 90% confidence interval (CI): 21 and 27 ms] at the median steady-state C max of quizartinib at the 26.5 mg and 53 mg dose level during maintenance therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7) ] . 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and its major circulating active metabolite (AC886) were characterized in healthy subjects and in patients with cancer and are presented as geometric mean (percent coefficient of variation [%CV]) unless otherwise specified. Steady state quizartinib concentrations were achieved at Day 15 following once daily dosage in patients with AML. Quizartinib exposure (AUC and C max ) increased proportionally in the dose range of 26.5 mg (0.75 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) to 79.5 mg (2.25 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) in healthy subjects and 17.7 mg (0.5 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) to 53 mg (1.5 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) in patients with AML. Table 8: Pharmacokinetic Properties of Quizartinib and AC886 Quizartinib AC886 General Information Steady state exposure following 35.4 mg VANFLYTA once daily during induction therapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML C max 140 ng/mL (71%) 163 ng/mL (52%) AUC 0-24h 2,680 ng∙h/mL (85%) 3,590 ng∙h/mL (51%) Steady state exposure following 35.4 mg VANFLYTA once daily during consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML C max 204 ng/mL (64%) 172 ng/mL (47%) AUC 0-24h 3,930 ng∙h/mL (78%) 3,800 ng∙h/mL (46%) Steady state exposure following 53 mg VANFLYTA once daily during maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML C max 529 ng/mL (60%) 262 ng/mL (48%) AUC 0-24h 10,200 ng∙h/mL (75%) 5,790 ng∙h/mL (46%) Accumulation ratio Mean (±SD) (AUC 0-24h ) 5.4 (4.4) 8.7 (6.8) Absorption The mean (SD) absolute bioavailability of quizartinib from the tablet formulation was 71% (±7%) in healthy subjects. After oral administration under fasted conditions, time to peak concentration (median T max ) of quizartinib and AC886 measured post dose was approximately 4 hours (range 2 to 8 hours) and 5 to 6 hours (range 4 to 120 hours), respectively, in healthy subjects. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib were observed when administered with a high-fat, high-calorie meal. Distribution Volume of distribution at steady state in healthy subjects was estimated to be 275 L (17%). In vitro plasma protein binding of quizartinib and AC886 is 99% or greater. In vitro blood-to-plasma ratio for quizartinib and AC886 ranges from 0.79-1.30 and 1.36-3.19, respectively. Elimination Total body clearance of quizartinib in healthy subjects was estimated to be 2.23 L/hour (29%). The mean (SD) effective half-lives (t 1/2 ) in patients with newly diagnosed AML for quizartinib and AC886 during maintenance therapy are 81 hours (±73) and 136 hours (±113), respectively. Metabolism In vitro quizartinib is primarily metabolized via oxidation by CYP3A4/5 and AC886 is formed and metabolized by CYP3A4/5. Excretion Following a single radiolabeled dose of quizartinib 53 mg to healthy subjects, 76.3% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces (4% unchanged) and 1.64% in urine. Specific Populations There were no clinically significant differences in the exposure of quizartinib and AC886 based on age (range 18 to 91 years), sex, race (White 65%, Asian 18%, Black 9%), or body weight (range 37 to 153 kg). Patients with Renal Impairment Mild or moderate renal impairment (i.e., estimated creatinine clearance [CLcr] by Cockcroft-Gault equation: 30 to 89 mL/min) were not associated with clinically significant differences in the exposure of quizartinib and AC886. The impact of severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and AC886 is unknown [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . Patients with Hepatic Impairment Mild (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any value for AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any value for AST) hepatic impairment were not associated with clinically significant differences in the exposure of quizartinib and AC886. The impact of severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C or total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any value for AST) on the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and AC886 is unknown [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] . Drug Interaction Studies and Model-Informed Approaches Clinical Studies Strong CYP3A Inhibitors The AUC of quizartinib increased by 94% and the C max by 17% following coadministration of a single 53 mg quizartinib dose with ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor). The AUCinf of AC886 decreased by 94% and C max by 60%. Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors A clinically significant change in quizartinib and AC886 exposure (C max and AUC inf ) was not observed following coadministration of a single quizartinib dose with fluconazole (a moderate CYP3A inhibitor). Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers The AUC inf of quizartinib decreased by 90% and C max by 45% following concomitant use of a single 53 mg dose of quizartinib with efavirenz (a moderate CYP3A inducer). The AUC of AC886 decreased by 96% and the C max by 68%. The effect of concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer may result in even greater effect on quizartinib pharmacokinetics based on mechanistic understanding of the drugs involved. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents No clinically significant differences in quizartinib pharmacokinetics were observed when used concomitantly with lansoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor that reduces gastric acid). Other Drugs There were no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of P-gp substrates (dabigatran etexilate) or UGT1A1 substrates (raltegravir) when used concomitantly with quizartinib. In Vitro Studies Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes Quizartinib does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4. Quizartinib does not induce CYP3A4, CYP1A2, or CYP2B6. AC886 does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4. AC886 does not induce CYP3A4, CYP1A2, or CYP2B6. Other Metabolic Pathways Quizartinib inhibits UGT1A1. Transporters Quizartinib is a substrate for P-gp but not for BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, OAT2, MATE1, or MRP2. AC886 is a substrate for BCRP but not for OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MRP2. Quizartinib inhibits BCRP and inhibition of this transporter at the recommended dosage cannot be excluded.

Mechanism Of Action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Quizartinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3. Quizartinib and its major active metabolite AC886 bind to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding domain of FLT3 with comparable affinity, and both had 10-fold lower affinity towards FLT3-ITD mutation compared to FLT3 in a binding assay. Quizartinib and AC886 inhibited FLT3 kinase activity, preventing autophosphorylation of the receptor, thereby inhibiting downstream FLT3 receptor signaling and blocking FLT3-ITD-dependent cell proliferation. Quizartinib showed antitumor activity in a mouse model of FLT3-ITD-dependent leukemia.

Pharmacodynamics

12.2 Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of quizartinib have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology In vitro studies have shown that quizartinib is a predominant inhibitor of the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, I Ks . The exposure-response analysis predicted a concentration-dependent QTcF interval median prolongation of 18 and 24 ms [upper bound of 2-sided 90% confidence interval (CI): 21 and 27 ms] at the median steady-state C max of quizartinib at the 26.5 mg and 53 mg dose level during maintenance therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Drug Interactions (7) ] .

Pharmacokinetics

12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and its major circulating active metabolite (AC886) were characterized in healthy subjects and in patients with cancer and are presented as geometric mean (percent coefficient of variation [%CV]) unless otherwise specified. Steady state quizartinib concentrations were achieved at Day 15 following once daily dosage in patients with AML. Quizartinib exposure (AUC and C max ) increased proportionally in the dose range of 26.5 mg (0.75 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) to 79.5 mg (2.25 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) in healthy subjects and 17.7 mg (0.5 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) to 53 mg (1.5 times the recommended 35.4 mg induction dose) in patients with AML. Table 8: Pharmacokinetic Properties of Quizartinib and AC886 Quizartinib AC886 General Information Steady state exposure following 35.4 mg VANFLYTA once daily during induction therapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML C max 140 ng/mL (71%) 163 ng/mL (52%) AUC 0-24h 2,680 ng∙h/mL (85%) 3,590 ng∙h/mL (51%) Steady state exposure following 35.4 mg VANFLYTA once daily during consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML C max 204 ng/mL (64%) 172 ng/mL (47%) AUC 0-24h 3,930 ng∙h/mL (78%) 3,800 ng∙h/mL (46%) Steady state exposure following 53 mg VANFLYTA once daily during maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML C max 529 ng/mL (60%) 262 ng/mL (48%) AUC 0-24h 10,200 ng∙h/mL (75%) 5,790 ng∙h/mL (46%) Accumulation ratio Mean (±SD) (AUC 0-24h ) 5.4 (4.4) 8.7 (6.8) Absorption The mean (SD) absolute bioavailability of quizartinib from the tablet formulation was 71% (±7%) in healthy subjects. After oral administration under fasted conditions, time to peak concentration (median T max ) of quizartinib and AC886 measured post dose was approximately 4 hours (range 2 to 8 hours) and 5 to 6 hours (range 4 to 120 hours), respectively, in healthy subjects. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib were observed when administered with a high-fat, high-calorie meal. Distribution Volume of distribution at steady state in healthy subjects was estimated to be 275 L (17%). In vitro plasma protein binding of quizartinib and AC886 is 99% or greater. In vitro blood-to-plasma ratio for quizartinib and AC886 ranges from 0.79-1.30 and 1.36-3.19, respectively. Elimination Total body clearance of quizartinib in healthy subjects was estimated to be 2.23 L/hour (29%). The mean (SD) effective half-lives (t 1/2 ) in patients with newly diagnosed AML for quizartinib and AC886 during maintenance therapy are 81 hours (±73) and 136 hours (±113), respectively. Metabolism In vitro quizartinib is primarily metabolized via oxidation by CYP3A4/5 and AC886 is formed and metabolized by CYP3A4/5. Excretion Following a single radiolabeled dose of quizartinib 53 mg to healthy subjects, 76.3% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces (4% unchanged) and 1.64% in urine. Specific Populations There were no clinically significant differences in the exposure of quizartinib and AC886 based on age (range 18 to 91 years), sex, race (White 65%, Asian 18%, Black 9%), or body weight (range 37 to 153 kg). Patients with Renal Impairment Mild or moderate renal impairment (i.e., estimated creatinine clearance [CLcr] by Cockcroft-Gault equation: 30 to 89 mL/min) were not associated with clinically significant differences in the exposure of quizartinib and AC886. The impact of severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and AC886 is unknown [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] . Patients with Hepatic Impairment Mild (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >ULN or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any value for AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any value for AST) hepatic impairment were not associated with clinically significant differences in the exposure of quizartinib and AC886. The impact of severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C or total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any value for AST) on the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and AC886 is unknown [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] .

    Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with quizartinib. Quizartinib was mutagenic in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and not mutagenic in an in vivo transgenic rat mutation assay. Quizartinib was not genotoxic in vitro in mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase mutation and human lymphocyte chromosome aberration assays, or in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay. Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted with quizartinib. However, adverse findings in male and female reproductive systems were observed in repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats and monkeys. Findings in female animals (rats or monkeys) included ovarian cysts, vaginal mucosal modifications, and atrophy of the uterus, ovary, and vagina, starting at exposures (AUC) approximately 0.2 times the MRHD of 53 mg/day. In male animals (rats and monkeys), findings included testicular seminiferous tubular degeneration, failure of sperm release, germ cell depletion in the testes, and oligospermia/aspermia, starting at exposures approximately 0.4 times the MRHD. After approximately one month of recovery period, all these findings except the vaginal mucosal modifications in the female rats were reversible.

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of VANFLYTA in combination with chemotherapy was evaluated in QuANTUM-First (NCT02668653), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 539 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML. FLT3-ITD status was determined prospectively with a clinical trial assay and verified retrospectively using the companion diagnostic LeukoStrat ® CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay, which is an FDA-approved test for selection of patients with AML for VANFLYTA treatment. Patients were stratified by age (<60 versus ≥60 years), white blood cell count at diagnosis (<40×10 9 /L versus ≥40×10 9 /L), and region (North America, Europe versus Asia, other regions). Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive VANFLYTA (n=268) or placebo (n=271) in combination with induction and consolidation therapy and as maintenance monotherapy according to the initial assignment, as follows: a) Induction : 35.4 mg orally once daily on Days 8-21 of 7 + 3 (cytarabine [100 or 200 mg/m 2 /day] on Days 1 to 7 plus daunorubicin [60 mg/m 2 /day] or idarubicin [12 mg/m 2 /day] on Days 1 to 3) and on Days 8-21 or 6-19 of an optional second induction (7 + 3 or 5 + 2 [5 days cytarabine plus 2 days daunorubicin or idarubicin], respectively), b) Consolidation : 35.4 mg orally once daily on Days 6-19 of high-dose cytarabine (1.5 to 3 g/m 2 every 12 hours on Days 1, 3 and 5) for up to 4 cycles, and c) Maintenance : 26.5 mg orally once daily on Days 1 to 14 and 53 mg once daily thereafter for up to thirty-six 28-day cycles. There was no re-randomization at the start of post consolidation therapy. Patients who proceeded to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) initiated maintenance therapy after recovery from the HSCT. The two treatment groups were generally balanced with respect to baseline demographics and disease characteristics. Of the 539 randomized patients, the median age was 56 years (range 20-75 years); 46% were male; 60% were White, 29% were Asian, 1% were Black, and 10% were other races. Eighty-four percent had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) baseline performance status of 0 or 1. The majority of the patients (72%) had intermediate risk cytogenetics at baseline. FLT3-ITD variant allelic frequency (VAF) was 3-25% in 36% of patients, >25-50% in 52% of patients, and >50% in 12% of patients. NPM1 mutations were identified in 52% of patients. A second course of induction was administered to 20% of the patients, 65% initiated at least one cycle of consolidation, and 39% initiated maintenance. Among the patients who entered maintenance, 64% completed at least 12 cycles, 36% completed at least 24 cycles, and 16% completed all 36 planned cycles of maintenance. Twenty-nine percent (157/539) of the patients underwent HSCT in first complete remission (CR). The overall rate of HSCT (including the following settings: first CR, induction failure, or salvage after relapse) was 54% (144/268) in the VANFLYTA plus standard chemotherapy arm versus 47% (128/271) in the placebo plus standard chemotherapy arm. All patients were followed for survival. Efficacy was established on the basis of overall survival (OS), measured from the date of randomization until death by any cause. The primary analysis was conducted after a minimum follow-up of 24 months after the randomization of the last patient. The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS for the VANFLYTA arm [hazard ratio (HR) 0.78; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.98; 2-sided p=0.0324] (see Figure 1 ). Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier Curve for Overall Survival in QuANTUM-First In an exploratory subgroup analysis of the 89/208 (43%) of patients who received maintenance therapy with VANFLYTA or placebo following consolidation chemotherapy, the OS HR was 0.40 (95% CI: 0.19, 0.84). Of 119/208 (57%) of patients who received maintenance therapy with VANFLYTA or placebo following HSCT, the OS HR was 1.62 (95% CI: 0.62, 4.22). The CR rate in the VANFLYTA arm was 55% (95% CI: 48.7, 60.9) with a median duration of CR of 38.6 months (95% CI: 21.9, NE), and the CR rate in the placebo arm was 55% (95% CI: 49.2, 61.4) with a median duration of CR of 12.4 months (95% CI: 8.8, 22.7).

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use There were 533 patients with newly diagnosed AML in the clinical study; of the total number of VANFLYTA-treated patients, 69 (26%) were 65 years of age and older, while 1 (0.4%) was 75 years of age [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of VANFLYTA have not been established in pediatric patients.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, VANFLYTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on VANFLYTA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of quizartinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately 3 times those in patients at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 53 mg/day ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4%, and of miscarriage is 15-20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received oral doses of quizartinib of 0, 0.6, 2, or 6 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Administration of quizartinib at the dose of 6 mg/kg/day was associated with adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities (anasarca and edema) and alterations to growth (lower fetal weights and effects on skeletal ossification). At this dose, the maternal systemic exposures (AUC) were approximately 3 times the human exposure at the MRHD of 53 mg/day.

    Use In Specific Populations

    8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, VANFLYTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on VANFLYTA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of quizartinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately 3 times those in patients at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 53 mg/day ( see Data ).

At this dose, the maternal systemic exposures (AUC) were approximately 3 times the human exposure at the MRHD of 53 mg/day. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of quizartinib or its metabolites in human milk, or the effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with VANFLYTA and for one month after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential VANFLYTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential within seven days before starting treatment with VANFLYTA. Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VANFLYTA and for 7 months after the last dose. Males Based on genotoxicity findings, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VANFLYTA and for 4 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Infertility Females Based on findings from animal studies, VANFLYTA may impair female fertility. These effects on fertility were reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Males Based on findings from animal studies, VANFLYTA may impair male fertility. These effects on fertility were reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ]. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of VANFLYTA have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use There were 533 patients with newly diagnosed AML in the clinical study; of the total number of VANFLYTA-treated patients, 69 (26%) were 65 years of age and older, while 1 (0.4%) was 75 years of age [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients. 8.6 Renal Impairment No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (i.e., estimated creatinine clearance [CLcr] by Cockcroft-Gault equation: CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min). VANFLYTA has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 8.7 Hepatic Impairment No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A or total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any value for AST) or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any value for AST). VANFLYTA has not been studied in patients with severe (Child-Pugh Class C or total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any value for AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

    Boxed Warning

    WARNING: QT PROLONGATION, TORSADES DE POINTES, and CARDIAC ARREST VANFLYTA prolongs the QT interval in a dose- and concentration-related manner [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Prior to VANFLYTA administration and periodically, monitor for hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, and correct deficiencies. Perform ECGs to monitor the QTc at baseline, weekly during induction and consolidation therapy, weekly for at least the first month of maintenance, and periodically thereafter [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Torsades de pointes and cardiac arrest have occurred in patients receiving VANFLYTA. Do not administer VANFLYTA to patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, or long QT syndrome [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Do not initiate treatment with VANFLYTA or escalate the VANFLYTA dose if the QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) is greater than 450 ms [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Monitor ECGs more frequently if concomitant use of drugs known to prolong the QT interval is required [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Reduce the VANFLYTA dose when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A inhibitors, as they may increase quizartinib exposure [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Because of the risk of QT prolongation, VANFLYTA is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the VANFLYTA REMS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .
