Safety/Monitoring .
Monitoring Parameters
pregnancy test w/in 7 days before tx start; electrolytes incl. Mg before and during tx, or more frequently if diarrhea, vomiting; ECG before tx start, qwk or more frequently as clinically indicated during induction and consolidation tx, before maintenance tx start, qwk for at least 1mo after maintenance tx start and dose escalation, then as clinically indicated, or more frequently if diarrhea, vomiting, significant QT prolongation or torsades de pointes risk
Pregnancy/Lactation .
Pregnancy
Clinical Summary
weigh risk/benefit during pregnancy; no human data available; risk of teratogenicity, skeletal abnormalities, decr. fetal wt, based on animal data at 3x MRHD and drug's mechanism of action
Individuals of Reproductive Potential
obtain pregnancy test w/in 7 days before tx start; avoid pregnancy by using effective contraception during tx and x7mo after D/C in pts of childbearing potential and during tx and x4mo after D/C in male pts
Lactation
Clinical Summary
avoid breastfeeding during tx and x1mo after D/C; no human data available to assess risk of infant harm or effects on milk production
Pharmacology .
Metabolism: oxidation; CYP450: 3A4/5 substrate
Excretion: feces 76.3% (4% unchanged), urine 1.6%; Half-life: 81h (parent drug), 136h (active metabolite)
Subclass: Kinase Inhibitors, FLT3 Inhibitors
Mechanism of Action
inhibits FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), incl. FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD), resulting in inhibition of signaling pathways and cell proliferation
