ADMIRAL TRIAL SAFETY

Safety Profile of XOSPATA vs Salvage Chemotherapy in the Preselected Low-Intensity Chemotherapy Subgroup

Adverse reactions reported in the first 30 days of treatment in the ADMIRAL trial were evaluated according to whether patients were preselected for high-intensity chemotherapy or low-intensity chemotherapy.1

  • All adverse reactions were grouped by events that were reported under different terms but were represented by the same phenomenon (eg, transaminase increased included: AST increased, ALT increased, blood alkaline phosphatase increased, and transaminases increased)1
    • Similarly, adverse reactions reported in more than one body system that appeared to represent a common pathophysiologic event were grouped together

Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥10% (Any Grade) or ≥5% (Grades 3-5†) of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory AML in the Preselected Low-Intensity Chemotherapy Subgroup in the First 30 Days of the ADMIRAL Trial1

†Grades 3 to 5 include serious, life-threatening, and fatal adverse reactions.1

Safety Profile of XOSPATA vs Salvage Chemotherapy in the Preselected High-Intensity Chemotherapy Subgroup

  • All adverse reactions were grouped by events that were reported under different terms but were represented by the same phenomenon (eg, myalgia/arthralgia included: arthralgia, back pain, bone pain, flank pain, limb discomfort, medial tibial stress syndrome, myalgia, muscle twitching, musculoskeletal discomfort, musculoskeletal pain, muscle spasms, neck pain, noncardiac chest pain, pain, and pain in extremity)1:

Drug Interactions
With XOSPATA

Effect of Other Drugs on XOSPATA1§

Co-administered Drugs

Combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers

Effect on XOSPATA

Concomitant use of XOSPATA with a combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducer decreases the exposure of XOSPATA, which may decrease the efficacy of XOSPATA

Recommendation

Avoid concomitant use of XOSPATA with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers

Co-administered Drugs

Strong CYP3A inhibitors

Effect on XOSPATA

Concomitant use of XOSPATA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases the exposure of XOSPATA

Recommendation

  • Consider alternative therapies that are not strong CYP3A inhibitors
  • If concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors is considered essential for the care of the patient, monitor the patient more frequently for adverse reactions with XOSPATA
  • Interrupt and reduce dose of XOSPATA in patients with serious or life-threatening toxicity

Effect of XOSPATA on Other Drugs1

Co-administered Drugs

Drugs that target the 5HT2B receptor or the sigma nonspecific receptor

Effect on Other Drugs

Concomitant use of XOSPATA may reduce the effects of drugs that target the 5HT2B receptor or the sigma nonspecific receptor (eg, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline)

Recommendation

Avoid concomitant use of these drugs with XOSPATA unless their use is considered essential for the care of the patient<

§Refer to Section 12.3 in the Full Prescribing Information for more information on concomitant use of XOSPATA with a combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducer (eg, rifampin) or strong CYP3A inhibitors (eg, itraconazole).1
