1.1Acute Myeloid Leukemia

RYDAPT is indicated in combination with standard cytarabine and daunorubicin induction and cytarabine consolidation chemotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are FLT3 mutation-positive, as detected by an FDA approved test [see Dosage and Administration (2.1), Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Limitations of Use RYDAPT is not indicated as a single-agent induction therapy for the treatment of patients with AML.

1.2Systemic Mastocytosis

RYDAPT is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN), or mast cell leukemia (MCL).

Contraindications

RYDAPT is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to midostaurin or to any of the excipients [see Description (11)]. Hypersensitivity reactions have included anaphylactic shock, dyspnea, flushing, chest pain, and angioedema (e.g., swelling of the airways or tongue, with or without respiratory impairment) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Hypersensitivity to midostaurin or any of the excipients. ( 4 )

Warnings and precautions

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : RYDAPT may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise of the potential risk to a fetus. ( 5.1 , 8.1 ) Pulmonary Toxicity : Monitor for symptoms of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis. Discontinue RYDAPT in patients with signs or symptoms of pulmonary toxicity. Fatal cases have occurred. ( 5.2 )

Interactions

Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase exposure to midostaurin and its active metabolites. Consider alternative therapies that do not strongly inhibit CYP3A4 or monitor for increased risk of adverse reactions. ( 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A4 Inducers : Avoid concomitant use as strong CYP3A4 inducers decrease exposure to midostaurin and its active metabolites. ( 7.1 ) CYP2B6, BCRP, OATP1B1 Substrates : Dose adjustments for coadministered CYP2B6, BCRP, and OATP1B1 substrates may be necessary with RYDAPT.

7.1Effect of Other Drugs on

RYDAPT Table 6 lists the potential effects of the coadministration of strong CYP3A modulators on RYDAPT. Table 6: Drug Interactions with RYDAPT That Affect Midostaurin Strong CYP3A Inhibitors a The effect of grapefruit juice varies widely among brands and is concentration-, dose-, and preparation-dependent. Studies have shown that it can be classified as a “strong CYP3A inhibitor” when a certain preparation was used (e.g., high dose, double strength) or as a “moderate CYP3A inhibitor” when another preparation was used (e.g., low dose, single strength). b The induction potency of St.

John’s wort may vary widely based on preparation. Clinical Impact Coadministration of RYDAPT with strong CYP3A inhibitors may increase midostaurin concentrations. The increase in midostaurin concentrations may be pronounced if strong CYP3A inhibitors are administered during the first week of RYDAPT administration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Increased midostaurin concentrations may increase the risk of toxicity.

Prevention or Management Consider alternative therapies that do not strongly inhibit CYP3A activity. Alternatively, with coadministration of RYDAPT and strong CYP3A inhibitors, monitor patients for increased risk of adverse reactions, especially during the first week of consecutive RYDAPT administration in advanced SM population, and during first week of RYDAPT administration in each cycle of chemotherapy in AML population.

Examples Boceprevir, clarithromycin, cobicistat, conivaptan, danoprevir and ritonavir, diltiazem, elvitegravir and ritonavir, grapefruit juice a , idelalisib, indinavir and ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lopinavir and ritonavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, paritaprevir and ritonavir and (ombitasvir and/or dasabuvir), posaconazole, ritonavir, saquinavir and ritonavir, tipranavir and ritonavir, troleandomycin, voriconazole Strong CYP3A Inducers Clinical Impact Coadministration of RYDAPT with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease midostaurin concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Decreased midostaurin concentrations may reduce efficacy. Prevention or Management Avoid coadministration of RYDAPT with strong CYP3A4 inducers. Examples Carbamazepine, enzalutamide, mitotane, phenytoin, rifampin, St. John’s wort b

7.2Effect of

RYDAPT on Other Drugs CYP2B6 Substrates RYDAPT decreased the systemic exposure of a sensitive CYP2B6 substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . Dose adjustments for the coadministered CYP2B6 substrate may be necessary with RYDAPT. Substrates of Transporters Coadministration of RYDAPT increased the exposure of a breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and organic anion transporter polypeptide (OATP)1B1 substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

Dose adjustments for the coadministered BCRP or OATP1B1 substrates may be necessary with RYDAPT.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry

There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to RYDAPT during pregnancy. Females who may have been exposed to RYDAPT during pregnancy directly or through a male partner receiving RYDAPT therapy should contact the Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 1-888-669-6682 and/or at https://report.novartis.com/ . Risk Summary Based on mechanism of action and findings in animal reproduction studies, RYDAPT may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)] .

There are no available data on RYDAPT use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of midostaurin to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicities, including late embryo-fetal death and reduced fetal birth weight, with delays in fetal growth at doses lower than the recommended human dose (see Data) .

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Data Animal Data When midostaurin was administered to female rats prior to mating and through the first week of pregnancy at a dose of 60 mg/kg/day [approximately 0.1 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on area under the curve (AUC)], there were increases in pre- and post-implantation loss, including total litter loss, resulting in a reduction in the number of live embryos. During organogenesis, midostaurin administered at oral doses greater than or equal to 3 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.004 times the human exposure at the recommended dose by AUC) to pregnant female rats caused late embryo-fetal death.

Dilated lateral brain ventricles were observed in offspring of rats given doses greater than or equal to 3 mg/kg/day. Extra rib and reduced fetal birth weight with effects on fetal growth (severe renal pelvic cavitation and widened anterior fontanelle) were observed in the absence of maternal toxicity at the highest dose of 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.05 times the human exposure at the recommended dose by AUC). Midostaurin administered orally to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis led to maternal toxicity with spontaneous abortions and some delay in fetal growth (reduced fetal birth weight) at doses greater than or equal to 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.01 times the human exposure at the recommended dose by AUC).

In an oral pre- and postnatal development study in the rat, adverse effects upon maternal performance included dams with signs of dystocia and a lower live litter size at 30 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.05 times the human exposure at the recommended dose by AUC). For the F1 offspring, lower body weights, accelerated complete eye opening and delayed auricular startle ontogeny were noted at 30 mg/kg/day.

6.1Clinical 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. Acute Myeloid Leukemia The safety evaluation of RYDAPT (50 mg twice daily with food) in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3 mutated AML is based on a randomized, double-blind, trial of RYDAPT (n = 345) or placebo (n = 335) with chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] .

The overall median duration of exposure was 42 days (range, 2 to 576 days) for patients in the RYDAPT plus chemotherapy arm versus 34 days (range, 1 to 465 days) for patients in the placebo plus chemotherapy arm. On the RYDAPT plus chemotherapy arm, 35% of patients completed induction and consolidation therapy, compared to 25% of patients on the placebo plus chemotherapy arm. The most frequent (incidence greater than or equal to 20%) adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the RYDAPT plus chemotherapy arm were febrile neutropenia, nausea, mucositis, vomiting, headache, petechiae, musculoskeletal pain, epistaxis, device-related infection, hyperglycemia, ECG QT prolonged, and upper respiratory tract infections.

The most frequent Grade 3/4 adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 10%) were febrile neutropenia, device-related infection, and mucositis. The most frequent serious adverse reaction (≥ 10%) in patients in the RYDAPT plus chemotherapy arm was febrile neutropenia (16%), which occurred at a similar rate in the placebo arm (16%). Discontinuation due to any adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients in the RYDAPT arm versus 6% in the placebo arm.

The most frequent (> 1%) Grade 3/4 adverse reactions leading to discontinuation in the RYDAPT arm was renal insufficiency (1%). Excluding deaths due to disease progression, no fatal adverse reactions occurred in the study. Overall, the most frequent non-treatment related cause of death in the RYDAPT plus chemotherapy arm was sepsis (2%) and occurred at a similar rate in the placebo arm (2%). Table 2 presents the frequency category of adverse reactions reported in the randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3 mutated AML.

Adverse reactions are listed according to body system. Within each body system, the adverse reactions are ranked by frequency, with the most frequent reactions first. Table 3 presents the key laboratory abnormalities from the same randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3 mutated AML.

Common adverse reactions (greater than or equal to 5% difference between the RYDAPT and placebo arms) reported for these patients included nausea (47% vs 18%), hyperglycemia (20% vs 13%), and vomiting (19% vs 5%). Systemic Mastocytosis Two single-arm, open-label multicenter trials (Study 2 and Study 3) evaluated the safety of RYDAPT (100 mg twice daily with food) as a single agent in 142 adult patients total with ASM, SM-AHN, or MCL. The median age was 63 (range, 24 to 82), 63% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and 75% had no hepatic impairment (bilirubin and AST ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN)] at baseline. The median duration of exposure to RYDAPT was 11.4 months (range, 0 to 81 months), with 34% treated for ≥ 24 months. The most frequent adverse reactions (≥ 20%), excluding laboratory terms, were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, edema, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection, constipation, pyrexia, headache, and dyspnea (Table 4).
