6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

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)]

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The safety profile of DAURISMO is based on experience in the BRIGHT AML 1003 study for 111 adults with newly-diagnosed AML and 14 adults with other conditions for which DAURISMO is not indicated [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Patients were treated with DAURISMO 100 mg daily in combination with low-dose cytarabine (N=84) or low-dose cytarabine alone (N=41). The median duration of treatment in the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm was 83 days (range 3 to 972 days), and the median duration of treatment in the low-dose cytarabine alone arm was 47 days (range 6 to 239 days). The median exposure to DAURISMO in the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm was 76 days (range 3 to 954 days). Thirty-two patients (38%) were treated with DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine for at least 6 months and 14 patients (17%) were treated for at least 1 year.

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 79% of patients treated in the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm. The most common (≥5%) serious adverse reactions in patients receiving DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine were febrile neutropenia (29%), pneumonia (23%), hemorrhage (12%), anemia (7%), and sepsis (7%).

Dose reductions associated with adverse reactions were reported in 26% of patients treated with DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine, and the most common reasons (≥2%) for dose reductions due to adverse reactions were muscle spasms (5%), fatigue (4%), febrile neutropenia (4%), anemia (2%), thrombocytopenia (2%), and ECG QT prolonged (2%). Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were reported in 36% of patients treated with DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine, and the most common (≥2%) reasons for permanent discontinuation were pneumonia (6%), febrile neutropenia (4%), sepsis (4%), sudden death (2%), myocardial infarction (2%), nausea (2%), and renal insufficiency (2%).

Adverse reactions reported in the first 90 days of therapy on the BRIGHT AML 1003 study are shown in Table 3.

Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think that you may be pregnant.

For males:

It is not known if DAURISMO is present in semen. Do not donate semen during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after your last dose.
You should always use effective birth control, including a condom, even if you have had a vasectomy, during sex with female partners who are pregnant or who are able to become pregnant, during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after your last dose to protect your female partner from being exposed to DAURISMO.
Tell your healthcare provider right away if your partner becomes pregnant or thinks she is pregnant while you are taking DAURISMO.

Exposure to DAURISMO during pregnancy:
If you think that you or your female partner may have been exposed to DAURISMO during pregnancy, talk to your healthcare provider right away. If you become pregnant during treatment with DAURISMO, you or your healthcare provider should report your pregnancy to Pfizer at 1-800-438-1985.

What is DAURISMO?
DAURISMO is a prescription medicine that is used with the medicine cytarabine to treat newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults who:

are 75 years of age or older, or
have other medical conditions that prevent the use of standard chemotherapy.

It is not known if DAURISMO is safe and effective in children.

Before you take DAURISMO, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

have heart problems, including a condition called long QT syndrome.
abnormal blood salt (electrolytes) levels.
have muscle pain or spasms.
have kidney problems.
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. See "What is the most important information I should know about DAURISMO?"
are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if DAURISMO passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed or provide breast milk to infants or children during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby during this time.

Tell your healthcare provider about the medicines you take, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

How should I take DAURISMO?

Take DAURISMO with the medicine cytarabine exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.
Take DAURISMO 1 time each day, at about the same time each day.
Take DAURISMO with or without food.
Do not chew, split or crush DAURISMO tablets.
If you miss a dose of DAURISMO, take it as soon as you remember. If it is less than 12 hours before your next dose, just skip the missed dose and take your next dose at your regular time. Do not take 2 doses of DAURISMO within 12 hours.
If you vomit after taking a dose of DAURISMO, do not take an extra dose, just take your next dose at your regular time.
Your healthcare provider will perform certain tests to check you for side effects before and during treatment with DAURISMO.
Your healthcare provider may change your dose, temporarily stop, or permanently stop treatment with DAURISMO if you have certain side effects. Do not change your dose or stop taking DAURISMO unless your healthcare provider tells you.

What are the possible side effects of DAURISMO?
DAURISMO can cause serious side effects, including:

See "What is the most important information I should know about DAURISMO?"
Changes in the electrical activity of your heart called QT prolongation. QT prolongation can cause irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you feel faint, lightheaded, dizzy, or feel your heart beating irregularly or fast during treatment with DAURISMO.
Muscle Problems. Muscle problems are common with DAURISMO, but can also sometimes be serious. DAURISMO can increase your risk of muscle pain or muscle spasms. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any new or worsening muscle spasms, pain, tenderness or weakness during and after treatment with DAURISMO. Your healthcare provider should do a blood test to check for muscle problems and to check your kidney function before you start taking DAURISMO, during treatment, and if you develop muscle problems.

low red blood cell count (anemia)
tiredness
bleeding
