Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended dosage: 100 mg orally once daily. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage and Schedule The recommended dosage of DAURISMO is 100 mg orally once daily on days 1 to 28 in combination with cytarabine 20 mg subcutaneously twice daily on days 1 to 10 of each 28-day cycle in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or loss of disease control. For patients without unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 cycles to allow time for clinical response. Administer DAURISMO with or without food. Do not split or crush DAURISMO tablets. Administer DAURISMO about the same time each day. If a dose of DAURISMO is vomited, do not administer a replacement dose; wait until the next scheduled dose is due.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically-significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: • QTc Interval Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Musculoskeletal Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) are anemia, fatigue, hemorrhage, febrile neutropenia, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, edema, thrombocytopenia, dyspnea, decreased appetite, dysgeusia, mucositis, constipation, and rash.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Table 5. Drug Interactions with DAURISMO Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Clinical Impact • Co-administration of DAURISMO with strong CYP3A inhibitors increased glasdegib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. • Increased glasdegib concentrations may increase the risk of adverse reactions including QTc interval prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Prevention or Management • Consider alternative therapies that are not strong CYP3A4 inhibitors during treatment with DAURISMO. • Monitor patients for increased risk of adverse reactions including QTc interval prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].

Warnings

WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY DAURISMO can cause embryo-fetal death or severe birth defects when administered to a pregnant woman. DAURISMO is embryotoxic, fetotoxic, and teratogenic in animals [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Conduct pregnancy testing in females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of DAURISMO treatment. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Blood Donation: Advise patients not to donate blood or blood products during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose. ( 5.1 ) • QTc Interval Prolongation: Monitor electrocardiograms and electrolytes. If QTc prolongation occurs, interrupt treatment with DAURISMO. ( 2.2 , 5.2 ) • Musculoskeletal Adverse Reactions: Obtain creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and serum creatinine levels prior to initiating DAURISMO and as indicated clinically thereafter. Temporary dose interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of DAURISMO may be required for musculoskeletal adverse reactions or serum CPK elevation. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animal embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, DAURISMO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no clinical data on the use of DAURISMO in pregnant women to inform of a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. DAURISMO is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Conduct pregnancy testing in female patients of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with DAURISMO.

Storage

Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F); excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
