Dosage & Administration
Mylotarg Prescribing Information
5.1 Hepatotoxicity, Including Veno-occlusive Liver Disease (VOD)Hepatotoxicity, including life-threatening and sometimes fatal hepatic VOD events, have been reported in patients receiving MYLOTARG as a single agent or as part of a combination chemotherapy regimen
In ALFA-0701, VOD events were reported in 6/131 (5%) adult patients during or following treatment with MYLOTARG, or following later hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The median time from the MYLOTARG dose to onset of VOD was 9 days (range: 2–298 days), with 5 events occurring within 28 days of any dose of MYLOTARG and 1 event occurring greater than 28 days after the last dose of MYLOTARG. Three of the 6 VOD events were fatal. VOD was also reported in 2 patients in the control arm of ALFA-0701 after receiving MYLOTARG as a therapy for relapsed AML.
In MyloFrance-1 (MYLOTARG 3 mg/m2on Days 1, 4 and 7), VOD events were reported in none of the 57 patients during or following treatment, or following HSCT after completion of MYLOTARG treatment.
In AAML0531, VOD events were reported in 25/520 (5%) pediatric patients in the MYLOTARG arm. VOD was fatal in 2 patients. Among 187 pediatric patients who underwent HSCT in the MYLOTARG arm, VOD occurred within 30 days post-HSCT in 20 (11%) patients.
Based on an analysis across trials, the risk of VOD was higher in adult patients who received higher doses of MYLOTARG as monotherapy, in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment prior to receiving MYLOTARG, in patients treated with MYLOTARG after HSCT, and in patients who underwent HSCT after treatment with MYLOTARG. Patients who had moderate/severe hepatic impairment prior to treatment with MYLOTARG were 8.7 times more likely to develop VOD compared to patients without moderate/severe hepatic impairment at baseline. Patients treated with MYLOTARG for relapse after HSCT were 2.6 times more likely to develop VOD compared to patients without prior HSCT. Patients who underwent HSCT following MYLOTARG treatment were 2.9 times more likely to develop VOD after HSCT compared to patients without HSCT following MYLOTARG treatment. Although no relationship was found between VOD and time of HSCT relative to higher MYLOTARG monotherapy doses, the ALFA-0701 study recommended an interval of 2 months between the last dose of MYLOTARG and HSCT. In MyloFrance-1, no patients underwent HSCT within 3.5 months of MYLOTARG therapy.
Assess ALT, AST, total bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase prior to each dose of MYLOTARG. After treatment with MYLOTARG, monitor frequently for signs and symptoms of VOD; these may include elevations in ALT, AST, total bilirubin, hepatomegaly (which may be painful), rapid weight gain, and ascites. Monitoring only total bilirubin may not identify all patients at risk of VOD. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests, more frequent monitoring of liver tests and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity is recommended. For patients who proceed to HSCT, monitor liver tests frequently during the post-HSCT period, as appropriate.
Manage signs or symptoms of hepatic toxicity by dose interruption or discontinuation of MYLOTARG
6.1 Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause 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 of MYLOTARG in first-line combination therapy was evaluated in two prospective clinical trials, Study ALFA-0701 in adults and Study AAML0531 in pediatric patients.
The safety evaluation of MYLOTARG (3 mg/m2Day 1, 4 and 7 in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine [DA]) in adults is based on data from ALFA-0701 for 131 patients treated with MYLOTARG plus DA and in 137 patients treated with DA alone
Safety data consisting of selected TEAEs considered most important for understanding the safety profile of MYLOTARG as well as all adverse events (AEs) that led to the permanent discontinuation of treatment were retrospectively collected. The selected TEAEs consisted of all grades hemorrhages, all grades VOD, and severe infections.
Discontinuation due to any adverse reaction occurred in 31% of patients in the MYLOTARG arm versus 7% in the DA arm. The most frequent (greater than or equal to 1%) adverse reactions for patients treated with MYLOTARG that led to permanent discontinuation were thrombocytopenia (15%), VOD (3%), and septic shock (2%).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 8 patients (6%) in the MYLOTARG arm versus 3 patients (2%) in the DA arm. In the MYLOTARG arm, 3 patients died of VOD, 4 patients died of hemorrhage-related events (CNS hemorrhage, hemorrhagic shock), and 1 patient died of suspected cardiac cause. In the DA arm, 3 patients died of sepsis.

The safety evaluation of MYLOTARG in combination with chemotherapy in pediatric patients is based on data from AAML0531
Safety data collected included only Grade 3 and 4 nonhematologic adverse events, deaths, VOD/SOS, and prolongation of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.
Table 5 shows the Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions (≥5%) in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone arms in patients with newly-diagnosed de novo AML in AAML0531.
In the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm, fatal adverse reactions (by grouped terms) were infection (14 [3%]), multi-organ failure (5 [1%]), anemia (1 [<1%]), and hemorrhage (3 [<1%]). In the chemotherapy arm, fatal adverse reactions included infection (7 [1%]), multi-organ failure (6 [1%]), hepatic failure (1 [<1%]), hypotension (3 [<1%]), and hemorrhage (3 [<1%]).

The addition of MYLOTARG to chemotherapy was associated with a higher incidence of prolonged thrombocytopenia and neutropenia particularly when used in Intensification 2. During Intensification 2, prolonged thrombocytopenia (platelets <50 Gi/L lasting past cycle Day 42 in the absence of active leukemia) was reported in 64% (190/297) of patients in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm compared with 55% (146/264) in the chemotherapy alone arm. Prolonged neutropenia (neutrophils <0.5 Gi/L lasting past cycle Day 42 in the absence of active leukemia) occurred in 47% (142/300) versus 43% (118/275) of patients, respectively. The prolonged cytopenias were associated with more deaths in remission in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm (29 [5%]) compared to the chemotherapy alone arm (15 [3%]).
VOD events were reported in 25 (5%) patients in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm as well as 25 (5%) of the chemotherapy alone arm. VOD was fatal in 2 (<1%) and 7 (1%) patients in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm and chemotherapy alone arm, respectively.
The safety evaluation of MYLOTARG (6 mg/m2then 3 mg/m2, with 7 days between the doses) as monotherapy is based on a randomized, open-label, Phase 3 trial of MYLOTARG (N=118) versus best supportive care (BSC) (N=119) in patients with previously untreated AML who were considered ineligible for intensive chemotherapy in Study AML-19
The overall incidence of any Grade adverse reactions reported in AML-19 was 87% in the MYLOTARG arm and 90% in the BSC arm. The incidence of Grade greater than or equal to 3 adverse reactions was 61% in the MYLOTARG arm and 68% in the BSC arm. Death due to any Adverse Event was reported in the MYLOTARG arm of 19 (17%) compared to the BSC arm of 23 (20%).
