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 XOSPATA is based on 319 patients with relapsed or refractory AML treated with gilteritinib 120 mg daily in three clinical trials.
The median duration of exposure to XOSPATA was 3.6 months (range 0.1 to 43.4 months).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients receiving XOSPATA.
These included cardiac arrest (1%) and one case each of differentiation syndrome and pancreatitis.
The most frequent (≥5%) nonhematological serious adverse reactions reported in patients were fever (13%), dyspnea (9%), renal impairment (8%), transaminase increased (6%) and noninfectious diarrhea (5%).
Of the 319 patients, 91 (29%) required a dose interruption due to an adverse reaction;
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.
Like all medications, Xospata can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
