Drug Description

BOSULIF contains bosutinib, a kinase inhibitor. Bosutinib is present as a monohydrate with a chemical name of 3-Quinolinecarbonitrile, 4-[(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)amino]-6-methoxy-7-[3-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl) propoxy]-, hydrate (1:1). Its chemical formula is C 26 H 29 Cl 2 N 5 O 3 ∙H 2 O (monohydrate); its molecular weight is 548.46 (monohydrate), equivalent to 530.46 (anhydrous). Bosutinib monohydrate has the following chemical structure: Bosutinib monohydrate is a white to yellowish-tan powder. Bosutinib monohydrate has a pH dependent solubility across the physiological pH range. At or below pH 5, bosutinib monohydrate behaves as a highly soluble compound. Above pH 5, the solubility of bosutinib monohydrate reduces rapidly. BOSULIF ® (bosutinib) tablets are supplied for oral administration in 3 strengths: 100 mg, 400 mg and 500 mg. Each strength reflects the equivalent amount of bosutinib content (on anhydrous basis). The tablets contain the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, iron oxide red (for 400 mg, and 500 mg tablet) and iron oxide yellow (for 100 mg, and 400 mg tablet), magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, poloxamer, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, talc and titanium dioxide. BOSULIF ® (bosutinib) capsules are supplied for oral administration in 2 strengths: 50 mg and 100 mg. Each strength reflects the equivalent amount of bosutinib (on anhydrous basis). The capsules contain the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, gelatin, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, poloxamer, povidone, red iron oxide, titanium dioxide, yellow iron oxide. The printing ink contains black iron oxide, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, shellac, strong ammonia solution.

FDA Approved Uses (Indications)

AND USAGE BOSULIF is indicated for the treatment of:

  • Adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with chronic phase (CP) Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML), newly-diagnosed or resistant or intolerant to prior therapy [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 , 14.2 , 14.3 )] .
  • Adult patients with accelerated phase (AP), or blast phase (BP) Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . BOSULIF is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of
  • adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with chronic phase Ph+ chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), newly-diagnosed or resistant or intolerant to prior therapy. ( 1 )
  • adult patients with accelerated, or blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. ( 1 )

Dosage & Administration

AND ADMINISTRATION

  • Adult patients with newly-diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML: 400 mg orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 )
  • Adult patients with chronic, accelerated, or blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy: 500 mg orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 )
  • Pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML: 300 mg/m 2 orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 )
  • Pediatric patients with chronic phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy: 400 mg/m 2 orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 )
  • Consider dose escalation by increments of 100 mg once daily to a maximum of 600 mg daily in adult patients who do not reach complete hematologic, cytogenetic, or molecular response and do not have Grade 3 or greater adverse reactions. ( 2.2 )
  • Consider dose escalation by increments of 50 mg for those with a BSA <1.1 m 2 and 100 mg for those with a BSA ≥1.1 m 2 to a maximum of 600 mg daily in pediatric patients who do not reach sufficient response after 3 months. ( 2.2 )
  • Adjust dosage for toxicity and organ impairment ( 2 )

2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage is taken orally once daily with food. Swallow tablets whole. Do not cut, crush, break or chew tablets. Continue treatment with BOSULIF until disease progression or intolerance to therapy. Capsules may be swallowed whole. For patients who are unable to swallow a whole capsule(s), each capsule can be opened and the contents mixed with applesauce or yogurt. Mixing the capsule contents with applesauce or yogurt cannot be considered a substitute of a proper meal. If a dose is missed beyond 12 hours, the patient should skip the dose and take the usual prescribed dose on the following day. Dosage in Adult Patients with Newly-Diagnosed CP Ph+ CML The recommended dosage of BOSULIF is 400 mg orally once daily with food. Dosage in Adult Patients with CP, AP, or BP Ph+ CML with Resistance or Intolerance to Prior Therapy The recommended dosage of BOSULIF is 500 mg orally once daily with food. Dosage in Pediatric Patients with Newly-Diagnosed CP Ph+ CML or with CP Ph+ CML with Resistance or Intolerance to Prior Therapy The recommended dose of BOSULIF for pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed CP Ph+ CML is 300 mg/m 2 orally once daily with food and the recommended dosage for pediatric patients with CP Ph+ CML that is resistant or intolerant to prior therapy is 400 mg/m 2 orally once daily with food and dose recommendations are provided in Table 1. As appropriate, the desired dose can be attained by combining different strengths of BOSULIF tablets or capsules.

Remove the required number of capsules from the container to prepare the dose as instructed and the amount of either room temperature applesauce or yogurt in a clean container. Carefully open each capsule, add the entire capsule content of each capsule into the applesauce or yogurt, then mix the entire dose into the applesauce or yogurt. Patients should immediately consume the full mixture in its entirety, without chewing. Do not store the mixture for later use. If the entire preparation is not swallowed do not take an additional dose. Wait until the next day to resume dosing.

Table

2: BOSULIF Dose Using Capsules and Soft Food Volumes Dose Volume of Applesauce or Yogurt 100 mg 10 mL (2 teaspoons) 150 mg 15 mL (3 teaspoons) 200 mg 20 mL (4 teaspoons) 250 mg 25 mL (5 teaspoons) 300 mg 30 mL (6 teaspoons) 350 mg 30 mL (6 teaspoons) 400 mg 35 mL (7 teaspoons) 450 mg 40 mL (8 teaspoons) 500 mg 45 mL (9 teaspoons) 550 mg 45 mL (9 teaspoons) 600 mg 50 mL (10 teaspoons)

2.2 Dose Escalation In clinical studies of adult patients with Ph+ CML, dose escalation by increments of 100 mg once daily to a maximum of 600 mg once daily was allowed in patients who did not achieve or maintain a hematologic, cytogenetic, or molecular response and who did not have Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions at the recommended starting dosage. In pediatric patients with BSA &lt;1.1 m 2 and an insufficient response after 3 months consider increasing dose by 50 mg increments up to maximum of 100 mg above starting dose. Dose increases for insufficient response in pediatric patients with BSA ≥1.1 m 2 can be conducted similarly to adult recommendations in 100 mg increments. The maximum dose in pediatric and adult patients is 600 mg once daily.

2.3 Dosage Adjustments for Non-Hematologic Adverse Reactions Elevated liver transaminases: If elevations in liver transaminases greater than 5×institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) occur, withhold BOSULIF until recovery to less than or equal to 2.5×ULN and resume at 400 mg once daily thereafter. If recovery takes longer than 4 weeks, discontinue BOSULIF. If transaminase elevations greater than or equal to 3×ULN occur concurrently with bilirubin elevations greater than 2×ULN and alkaline phosphatase less than 2×ULN (Hy&apos;s law case definition), discontinue BOSULIF <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]</span> . Diarrhea: For National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE)

Grade

3–4 diarrhea (increase of greater than or equal to 7 stools/day over baseline/pretreatment), withhold BOSULIF until recovery to Grade less than or equal to 1. BOSULIF may be resumed at 400 mg once daily [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . For other clinically significant, moderate or severe non-hematological toxicity, withhold BOSULIF until the toxicity has resolved, then consider resuming BOSULIF at a dose reduced by 100 mg taken once daily. If clinically appropriate, consider re-escalating the dose of BOSULIF to the starting dose taken once daily. In pediatric patients, dose adjustments for non-hematologic toxicities can be conducted similarly to adults, however the dose reduction increments may differ. For pediatric patients with BSA <1.1 m 2 , reduce dose by 50 mg initially followed by additional 50 mg increment if the adverse reaction (AR) persists. For pediatric patients with BSA ≥1.1 m 2 or greater, reduce dose similarly to adults.

2.4 Dosage Adjustments for Myelosuppression Dose reductions for severe or persistent neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are described below (Table 3).

Table

3: Dose Adjustments for Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia in Adult and Pediatric Patients ANC Absolute Neutrophil Count less than 1000×10 6 /L or Platelets less than 50,000×10 6 /L Withhold BOSULIF until ANC greater than or equal to1000×10 6 /L and platelets greater than or equal to 50,000×10 6 /L. Resume treatment with BOSULIF at the same dose if recovery occurs within 2 weeks. If blood counts remain low for greater than 2 weeks, upon recovery, reduce dose by 100 mg and resume treatment, or by 50 mg in pediatric patients with BSA <1.1 m 2 and resume treatment. If cytopenia recurs, reduce dose by an additional 100 mg upon recovery and resume treatment, or by an additional 50 mg in pediatric patients with BSA <1.1 m 2 and resume treatment.

2.5 Dosage Adjustments for Renal Impairment or Hepatic Impairment The recommended starting doses for patients with renal and hepatic impairment are described in Table 4 below.

0.8 Adverse Reactions in Adult Patients With Imatinib-Resistant or -Intolerant Ph+ CP, AP, and BP CML The single-arm clinical trial enrolled patients with Ph+ CP, AP, or BP CML and with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]</span> . The safety population (received at least 1 dose of BOSULIF) included 546 CML patients:

  • two hundred eighty-four (284) patients with CP CML previously treated with imatinib only who had a median duration of BOSULIF treatment of 26 months (range: 0.2 to 155 months), and a median dose intensity of 437 mg/day.
  • one hundred nineteen (119) patients with CP CML previously treated with both imatinib and at least 1 additional tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) who had a median duration of BOSULIF treatment of 9 months (range: 0.2 to 148 months) and a median dose intensity of 427 mg/day.
  • one hundred forty-three (143) patients with advanced phase (AdvP) CML including 79 patients with AP CML and 64 patients with BP CML. In the patients with AP CML and BP CML, the median duration of BOSULIF treatment was 10 months (range: 0.1 to 140 months) and 3 months (range: 0.03 to 71 months), respectively. The median dose intensity was 406 mg/day, and 456 mg/day, in the AP CML and BP CML cohorts, respectively. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 30% of patients in the safety population of the single-arm trial in patients with CML (N=546) who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy. Serious adverse reactions reported in >2% of patients included pneumonia (7%), pleural effusion (6%), pyrexia (3.7%), coronary artery disease (3.5%), dyspnea (2.6%), rash (2.2%), thrombocytopenia (2%), abdominal pain (2%), and diarrhea (2%).

2.1 Pediatric Patients with Newly-Diagnosed CP Ph+ CML or CP Ph+ CML that is Resistant or Intolerant to Prior Therapy The safety of BOSULIF was evaluated in BCHILD, a single-arm trial for the treatment of pediatric patients aged 1 year and older with newly-diagnosed CP Ph+ CML or in patients with CP Ph+ CML who are resistant or intolerant to prior therapy <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Studies (14.3) ]</span> . Patients received BOSULIF (n = 49) 300 mg/m 2 to 400 mg/m 2 orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median time on treatment with BOSULIF was 12.2 months (range, 0.2 to 60.9 months). Among patients who received BOSULIF, 77.6% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 51% were exposed for one year or longer. Permanent discontinuation of BOSULIF due to an adverse reaction occurred in 20% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation in 2 or more patients included ALT increased (6%), AST increased (4%), diarrhea (4%), fatigue (4%) and rash maculo-papular (4%). The most common adverse reactions, in ≥20% of BOSULIF-treated pediatric patients were diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, rash, fatigue, hepatic dysfunction, headache, pyrexia, decreased appetite, and constipation.

  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: BOSULIF can cause fetal harm. Advise female patients of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.7 )

5.1 Gastrointestinal Toxicity Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain occur with BOSULIF treatment. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, and fluid replacement. In the randomized clinical trial in adult patients with newly-diagnosed Ph+ CML, the median time to onset for diarrhea (all grades) was 4 days and the median duration per event was 3 days.

Among

546 adult patients in a single-arm study in patients with CML who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, the median time to onset for diarrhea (all grades) was 2 days and the median duration per event was 2 days. Among the patients who experienced diarrhea, the median number of episodes of diarrhea per patient during treatment with BOSULIF was 3 (range 1–268).

Among

49 pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed CP Ph+ CML or who had CP Ph+ CML that was resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, the median time to onset for diarrhea (all grades) was 2 days and the duration was 2 days. Among patients who experienced diarrhea, the median number of episodes of diarrhea per patient during treatment with BOSULIF was 2 (range 1 – 198). To manage gastrointestinal toxicity, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6) ] .

5.2 Myelosuppression Thrombocytopenia, anemia and neutropenia occur with BOSULIF treatment. Perform complete blood counts weekly for the first month of therapy and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. To manage myelosuppression, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Adverse Reactions (6) ]</span> .

5.3 Hepatic Toxicity Bosutinib may cause elevations in serum transaminases (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST]). Two cases consistent with drug induced liver injury (defined as concurrent elevations in ALT or AST greater than or equal to 3×ULN with total bilirubin greater than 2×ULN and alkaline phosphatase less than 2×ULN) have occurred without alternative causes. This represented 2 out 1711 patients in BOSULIF clinical trials. In the 268 adult patients from the safety population in the randomized clinical trial in patients with newly-diagnosed CML in the BOSULIF treatment group, the incidence of ALT elevation was 68.3% and increased AST was 56%. Of patients who experienced increased transaminases of any grade, 73% experienced their first increase within the first 3 months. The median time to onset of increased ALT and AST was 29 and 56 days, respectively, and the median duration was 19 and 15 days, respectively. Among the 546 adult patients in a single-arm study in patients with CML who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, the incidence of increased ALT was 53.3% and AST elevation was 46.7%. Sixty percent of the patients experienced an increase in either ALT or AST. Most cases of transaminase elevations in this study occurred early in treatment; of patients who experienced increased transaminases of any grade, more than 81% experienced their first increase within the first 3 months. The median time to onset of increased ALT and AST was 22 and 29 days, respectively, and the median duration for each was 21 days.

Among

49 pediatric patients with newly‑diagnosed CP Ph+ CML or who had CP Ph+ CML that was resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, the incidence based on laboratory data that worsened from baseline of increased ALT was 59% and of increased AST 51%. Seventy-six percent of the patients experienced an increase in either ALT or AST. Most cases of increased transaminases occurred early in treatment; of patients who experienced increased transaminases of any grade, 84% of patients experienced their first increases within the first 3 months. The median time to onset for adverse reactions of increased ALT and AST was 22 and 15 days, respectively. The median duration for adverse reactions of Grade 3 or 4 increased ALT or AST was 26 and 12 days, respectively. Perform hepatic enzyme tests monthly for the first 3 months of BOSULIF treatment and as clinically indicated. In patients with transaminase elevations, monitor liver enzymes more frequently. Withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6) ] .

5.4 Cardiovascular Toxicity BOSULIF can cause cardiovascular toxicity including cardiac failure, left ventricular dysfunction, and cardiac ischemic events. Cardiac failure events occurred more frequently in previously treated patients than in patients with newly diagnosed CML and were more frequent in patients with advanced age or risk factors, including previous medical history of cardiac failure. Cardiac ischemic events occurred in both previously treated patients and in patients with newly diagnosed CML and were more common in patients with coronary artery disease risk factors, including history of diabetes, body mass index greater than 30, hypertension, and vascular disorders. In a randomized study of adult patients with newly diagnosed CML, cardiac failure occurred in 1.9% of patients treated with BOSULIF compared to 0.8% of patients treated with imatinib. Cardiac ischemic events occurred in 4.9% of patients treated with BOSULIF compared to 0.8% of patients treated with imatinib. In a single-arm study in adult patients with CML who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, cardiac failure was observed in 5.3% of patients and cardiac ischemic events were observed in 5.1% of patients treated with BOSULIF.

Among

49 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed CP Ph+ CML or who had CP Ph+ CML that was resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, 4 (8%) patients had Grade 1-2 cardiac events, including tachycardia (n=2), angina pectoris, right bundle branch block, and sinus tachycardia (n=1 each). Monitor patients for signs and symptoms consistent with cardiac failure and cardiac ischemia and treat as clinically indicated. Interrupt, dose reduce, or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6) ] .

5.5 Fluid Retention Fluid retention occurs with BOSULIF and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. In the randomized clinical trial of 268 adult patients with newly-diagnosed CML in the bosutinib treatment group, 3 patients (1.1%) experienced severe fluid retention of Grade 3, 1 patient experienced Grade 3 pericardial effusion, and 2 patients experienced Grade 3 pleural effusion.

Among

546 adult patients in a single-arm study in patients with Ph+ CML who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, Grade 3 or 4 fluid retention was reported in 30 patients (6%). Some patients experienced more than one fluid retention event. Specifically, 24 patients experienced Grade 3 or 4 pleural effusions, 9 patients experienced Grade 3 or Grade 4 pericardial effusions, and 6 patients experienced Grade 3 edema.

Among

49 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed CP Ph+ CML or who had CP Ph+ CML that was resistant or intolerant to prior therapy, Grade 1-2 pericardial effusion, peripheral edema, and face edema were reported in 1 patient each. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, dose reduce or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6) ] .

5.6 Renal Toxicity An on-treatment decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has occurred in patients treated with BOSULIF.

Table

6 identifies the shift from baseline to lowest observed eGFR during BOSULIF therapy for patients in the pooled leukemia studies regardless of line of therapy. The median duration of therapy with BOSULIF was approximately 24 months (range, 0.03 to 155) for patients in these studies.

Table

Monitor renal function at baseline and during therapy with BOSULIF, with particular attention to those patients who have preexisting renal impairment or risk factors for renal dysfunction. Consider dose adjustment in patients with baseline and treatment emergent renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] .

5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, BOSULIF can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies conducted in rats and rabbits, oral administration of bosutinib during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including structural abnormalities, embryo-fetal mortality, and alterations to growth at maternal exposures (AUC) as low as 1.2 times the human exposure at the dose of 500 mg/day. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 2 weeks after the last dose <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Use in Specific Populations (8.1 , 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ]</span> .

Drug Interactions

INTERACTIONS

  • Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use with BOSULIF. ( 7.1 )
  • Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with BOSULIF. ( 7.1 )
  • Proton Pump Inhibitors: Use short-acting antacids or H2 blockers as an alternative to proton pump inhibitors. ( 7.1 )

7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on BOSULIF Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid the concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with BOSULIF. Bosutinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases bosutinib C max and AUC <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> which may increase the risk of toxicities. Strong CYP3A Inducers Avoid the concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers with BOSULIF. Bosutinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases bosutinib C max and AUC <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]</span> which may reduce BOSULIF efficacy.

Proton Pump

Inhibitors (PPI) As an alternative to PPIs, use short-acting antacids or H2 blockers and separate dosing by more than 2 hours from BOSULIF dosing. Bosutinib displays pH dependent aqueous solubility, Concomitant use with a PPI decreases bosutinib C max and AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] which may reduce BOSULIF efficacy.
