Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE XOSPATA is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a FLT3 mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test. ( 1.1 ) 1.1 Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia XOSPATA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test.
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 120 mg orally once daily. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of AML with XOSPATA based on the presence of FLT3 mutations in the blood or bone marrow [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )]. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of a FLT3 mutation in AML is available at http://www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics . 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended starting dose of XOSPATA is 120 mg orally once daily with or without food. Response may be delayed. In the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treatment for a minimum of 6 months is recommended to allow time for a clinical response. Do not break or crush XOSPATA tablets. Administer XOSPATA tablets orally about the same time each day.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • Differentiation syndrome [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] • Prolonged QT interval [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Pancreatitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are transaminase increased, myalgia/arthralgia, fatigue/malaise, fever, mucositis, edema, rash, noninfectious diarrhea, dyspnea, nausea, cough, constipation, eye disorders, headache, dizziness, hypotension, vomiting, and renal impairment.

Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) • Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Consider alternative therapies. If the concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors cannot be avoided, monitor patients more frequently for XOSPATA adverse reactions. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) • P-gp, BCRP, OCT1 Substrates: Decrease the dose of the substrates when coadministered with gilteritinib and as clinically indicated. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on XOSPATA Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of XOSPATA with a combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducer decreases gilteritinib exposure which may decrease XOSPATA efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Avoid concomitant use of XOSPATA with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers.
Warnings
WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME Patients treated with XOSPATA have experienced symptoms of differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal or life-threatening if not treated. Symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, hypotension, or renal dysfunction. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES): Discontinue XOSPATA in patients who develop PRES. ( 2.3 , 5.2 , 6.1 ) • Prolonged QT Interval: Interrupt and reduce XOSPATA dosage in patients who have a QTcF >500 msec. Correct hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia prior to and during XOSPATA administration. ( 2.3 , 5.3 , 12.2 , 6.1 ) • Pancreatitis: Interrupt and reduce the dose in patients who develop pancreatitis. ( 2.3 , 5.4 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: XOSPATA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.5 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Differentiation Syndrome Of 319 patients treated with XOSPATA in the clinical trials, 3% experienced differentiation syndrome. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS XOSPATA is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to gilteritinib or any of the excipients. Anaphylactic reactions have been observed in clinical trials [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 ) and Description ( 11 )] . Hypersensitivity to gilteritinib or any of the excipients. Anaphylactic reactions have been observed in clinical trials. ( 4 , 6.1 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies (see Data) and its mechanism of action, XOSPATA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are no available data on XOSPATA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes.
