Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. Dasatinib tablets are indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with Ph+ CML in chronic phase. newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL in combination with chemotherapy. Dasatinib tablets are a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of newly diagnosed adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase. ( 1 , 14 ) adults with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy including imatinib. ( 1 , 14 ) adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. ( 1 , 14 ) pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with Ph+ CML in chronic phase. ( 1 , 14 ) pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL in combination with chemotherapy. ( 1 , 14 )
Dosage & Administration
Chronic phase CML in adults: 100 mg once daily. ( 2 ) Accelerated phase CML, myeloid or lymphoid blast phase CML, or Ph+ ALL in adults: 140 mg once daily. ( 2 ) Chronic phase CML and ALL in pediatrics: starting dose based on body weight. ( 2 ) Administer orally, with or without a meal. Do not crush, cut, or chew tablets. ( 2 ) 2.1 Dosage of Dasatinib Tablets in Adult Patients The recommended starting dosage of dasatinib tablets for chronic phase CML in adults is 100 mg administered orally once daily. The recommended starting dosage of dasatinib tablets for accelerated phase CML, myeloid or lymphoid blast phase CML, or Ph+ ALL in adults is 140 mg administered orally once daily. Tablets should not be crushed, cut, or chewed; they should be swallowed whole. Dasatinib tablets can be taken with or without a meal, either in the morning or in the evening. 2.2 Dosage of Dasatinib Tablets in Pediatric Patients with CML or Ph+ ALL The recommended starting dosage for pediatrics is based on body weight as shown in Table 1. The recommended dose should be administered orally once daily with or without food. Recalculate the dose every 3 months based on changes in body weight, or more often if necessary. Do not crush, cut or chew tablets. Swallow tablets whole. There are additional administration considerations for pediatric patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets whole [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Table 1: Dosage of Dasatinib Tablets for Pediatric Patients a Body Weight (kg) b Daily Dose (mg) 10 to less than 20 40 mg 20 to less than 30 60 mg 30 to less than 45 70 mg at least 45 100 mg a For pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL, begin dasatinib tablets therapy on or before day 15 of induction chemotherapy, when diagnosis is confirmed and continue for 2 years. b Tablet dosing is not recommended for patients weighing less than 10 kg. Refer to Section 2.4 for recommendations on dose escalation in adults with CML and Ph+ ALL, and pediatric patients with CML. 2.3 Dose Modification Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid the use of concomitant strong CYP3A4 inducers and St. John’s wort. If patients must be coadministered a strong CYP3A4 inducer, consider a dasatinib tablets dose increase. If the dose of dasatinib tablets is increased, monitor the patient carefully for toxicity [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] . Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid the use of concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and grapefruit juice. Recommend selecting an alternate concomitant medication with no or minimal enzyme inhibition potential, if possible. If dasatinib tablets must be administered with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, consider a dose decrease to: 40 mg daily for patients taking dasatinib tablets, 140 mg daily. 20 mg daily for patients taking dasatinib tablets, 100 mg daily. 20 mg daily for patients taking dasatinib tablets, 70 mg daily. For patients taking dasatinib tablets 60 mg or 40 mg daily, consider interrupting dasatinib tablets until the inhibitor is discontinued. Allow a washout period of approximately 1 week after the inhibitor is stopped before reinitiating dasatinib tablets. These reduced doses of dasatinib tablets are predicted to adjust the area under the curve (AUC) to the range observed without CYP3A4 inhibitors; however, clinical data are not available with these dose adjustments in patients receiving strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. If dasatinib tablets are not tolerated after dose reduction, either discontinue the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor or interrupt dasatinib tablets until the inhibitor is discontinued. Allow a washout period of approximately 1 week after the inhibitor is stopped before the dasatinib tablets dose is increased [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] . 2.4 Dose Escalation in Adults with CML and Ph+ ALL, and Pediatric Patients with CML For adult patients with CML and Ph+ ALL, consider dose escalation to 140 mg once daily (chronic phase CML) or 180 mg once daily (advanced phase CML and Ph+ ALL) in patients who do not achieve a hematologic or cytogenetic response at the recommended starting dosage. For pediatric patients with CML, consider dose escalation to 120 mg once daily (see Table 2 below). Dose escalation is not recommended for pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL, where dasatinib tablets are administered in combination with chemotherapy. Escalate the dasatinib tablets dose as shown in Table 2 in pediatric patients with chronic phase CML who do not achieve a hematologic or cytogenetic response at the recommended starting dosage. Table 2: Dose Escalation for Pediatric CML Formulation Dose (maximum dose per day) Starting Dose Escalation Tablets 40 mg 50 mg 60 mg 70 mg 70 mg 90 mg 100 mg 120 mg 2.5 Dose Adjustment for Adverse Reactions Myelosuppression In clinical studies, myelosuppression was managed by dose interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of study therapy. Hematopoietic growth factor has been used in patients with resistant myelosuppression. Guidelines for dose modifications for adult and pediatric patients are summarized in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. Table 3: Dose Adjustments for Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia in Adults Chronic Phase CML (starting dose 100 mg once daily) ANC* <0.5 × 10 9 /L or Platelets <50 × 10 9 /L 1. Stop dasatinib tablets until ANC ≥1.0 × 10 9 /L and platelets ≥50 × 10 9 /L. 2. Resume treatment with dasatinib tablets at the original starting dose if recovery occurs in ≤7 days. 3. If platelets <25 × 10 9 /L or recurrence of ANC <0.5 × 10 9 /L for >7 days, repeat Step 1 and resume dasatinib tablets at a reduced dose of 80 mg once daily for second episode. For third episode, further reduce dose to 50 mg once daily (for newly diagnosed patients) or discontinue dasatinib tablets (for patients resistant or intolerant to prior therapy including imatinib). Accelerated Phase CML, Blast Phase CML and Ph+ ALL (starting dose 140 mg once daily) ANC* <0.5 × 10 9 /L or Platelets <10 × 10 9 /L 1. Check if cytopenia is related to leukemia (marrow aspirate or biopsy). 2. If cytopenia is unrelated to leukemia, stop dasatinib tablets until ANC ≥1.0 × 10 9 /L and platelets ≥20 × 10 9 /L and resume at the original starting dose. 3. If recurrence of cytopenia, repeat Step 1 and resume dasatinib tablets at a reduced dose of 100 mg once daily (second episode) or 80 mg once daily (third episode). 4. If cytopenia is related to leukemia, consider dose escalation to 180 mg once daily. *ANC: absolute neutrophil count Table 4: Dose Adjustments for Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia in Pediatric Patients with Ph+ CML Dose (maximum dose per day) 1. If cytopenia persists for more than 3 weeks, check if cytopenia is related to leukemia (marrow aspirate or biopsy). Original Starting Dose One-Level Dose Reduction Two-Level Dose Reduction Tablets 40 mg 20 mg ** 2. If cytopenia is unrelated to leukemia, stop dasatinib tablets until ANC* ≥1.0 × 10 9 /L and platelets ≥75 × 10 9 /L and resume at the original starting dose or at a reduced dose. 60 mg 40 mg 20 mg 70 mg 60 mg 50 mg 100 mg 80 mg 70 mg 3. If cytopenia recurs, repeat marrow aspirate/biopsy and resume dasatinib tablets at a reduced dose. *ANC: absolute neutrophil count ** lower tablet dose not available For pediatric patients with chronic phase CML, if Grade ≥3 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia recurs during complete hematologic response (CHR), interrupt dasatinib tablets and resume at a reduced dose. Implement temporary dose reductions for intermediate degrees of cytopenia and disease response as needed. For pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL, if neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia result in a delay of the next block of treatment by more than 14 days, interrupt dasatinib tablets and resume at the same dose level once the next block of treatment is started. If neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia persist and the next block of treatment is delayed another 7 days, perform a bone marrow assessment to assess cellularity and percentage of blasts. If marrow cellularity is <10%, interrupt treatment with dasatinib tablets until ANC >500/μL (0.5 x 10 9 /L), at which time treatment may be resumed at full dose. If marrow cellularity is >10%, resumption of treatment with dasatinib tablets may be considered. Non-Hematologic Adverse Reactions For adults with Ph+ CML and ALL, and pediatric patients with Ph+ CML, if a severe non-hematologic adverse reaction develops with dasatinib tablets use, treatment must be withheld until the adverse reaction has resolved or improved. Thereafter, treatment can be resumed as appropriate at a reduced dose depending on the severity and recurrence [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5 )] . For pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL, interrupt treatment for cases of grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic adverse reactions with the exception of liver function test abnormalities, and resume at a reduced dose when resolved to grade ≤1. For elevated direct bilirubin over 5 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), interrupt treatment until improvement to baseline or grade ≤1. For elevated AST/ALT over 15 times the institutional ULN, interrupt treatment until improvement to baseline or grade <1. For recurrent liver function test abnormalities as above, reduce the dose if this adverse reaction recurs after reinitiation of dasatinib tablets. Dose reduction recommendations are described in Table 5. Table 5: Dose Adjustments for Non-Hematologic Toxicities in Pediatric Patients Dose (maximum dose per day) 1. If a non-hematologic toxicity grade 2 occurs, consider interrupting dasatinib tablets if no recovery despite symptomatic therapy; once recovered to grade ≤1, resume at the original starting dose. Resume dasatinib tablets at a reduced dose for recurrent events. Original Starting Dose One-Level Dose Reduction Two-Level Dose Reduction Tablets 40 mg 20 mg ** 60 mg 40 mg 20 mg 70 mg 60 mg 50 mg 100 mg 80 mg 70 mg 2. If a non-hematologic toxicity grade 3 occurs, stop dasatinib tablets until recovery to grade ≤1 and then resume at a reduced dose. 3. If direct bilirubin is >5 ULN or AST/ALT >15 ULN, interrupt dasatinib tablets until recovery to grade ≤1 and then resume dasatinib tablets at the original starting dose. Resume dasatinib tablets at a reduced dose for recurrent hepatotoxicity. ** lower tablet dose not available 2.6 Duration of Treatment In clinical studies, treatment with dasatinib tablets in adults and in pediatric patients with chronic phase CML was continued until disease progression or until no longer tolerated by the patient. The effect of stopping treatment on long-term disease outcome after the achievement of a cytogenetic response (including complete cytogenetic response [CCyR]) or major molecular response (MMR and MR4.5) has not been established. In clinical studies, treatment with dasatinib tablets in pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL was administered for a maximum duration of 2 years [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) and Clinical Studies ( 14.4 )] . Dasatinib tablets are a hazardous product. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures. 1
Warnings & Precautions
Myelosuppression and Bleeding Events: Severe thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia may occur. Use caution if used concomitantly with medications that inhibit platelet function or anticoagulants. Monitor complete blood counts regularly. Transfuse and interrupt dasatinib when indicated. ( 2.5 , 5.1 , 5.2 ) Fluid Retention: Fluid retention, sometimes severe, including pleural effusions. Manage with supportive care measures and/or dose modification. ( 2.5 , 5.3 ) Cardiovascular Toxicity : Monitor patients for signs or symptoms and treat appropriately. ( 5.4 ) Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Dasatinib may increase the risk of developing PAH which may be reversible on discontinuation. Consider baseline risk and evaluate patients for signs and symptoms of PAH during treatment. Stop dasatinib if PAH is confirmed. ( 5.5 ) QT Prolongation: Use dasatinib with caution in patients who have or may develop prolongation of the QT interval. ( 5.6 ) Severe Dermatologic Reactions: Individual cases of severe mucocutaneous dermatologic reactions have been reported. ( 5.7 ) Tumor Lysis Syndrome: Tumor lysis syndrome has been reported. Maintain adequate hydration and correct uric acid levels prior to initiating therapy with dasatinib. ( 5.8 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of potential risk to fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.9 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Effects on Growth and Development in Pediatric Patients: epiphyses delayed fusion, osteopenia, growth retardation, and gynecomastia have been reported. Monitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients. ( 5.10 ) Hepatotoxicity: Assess liver function before initiation of treatment and monthly thereafter or as clinically indicated. Monitor liver function when combined with chemotherapy known to be associated with liver dysfunction. ( 5.11 ) 5.1 Myelosuppression Treatment with dasatinib is associated with severe (NCI CTCAE Grade 3 or 4) thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia, which occur earlier and more frequently in patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL than in patients with chronic phase CML [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . In patients with chronic phase CML, perform complete blood counts (CBCs) every 2 weeks for 12 weeks, then every 3 months thereafter, or as clinically indicated. In patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, perform CBCs weekly for the first 2 months and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. In pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL treated with dasatinib in combination with chemotherapy, perform CBCs prior to the start of each block of chemotherapy and as clinically indicated. During the consolidation blocks of chemotherapy, perform CBCs every 2 days until recovery. Myelosuppression is generally reversible and usually managed by withholding dasatinib temporarily and/or dose reduction [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . 5.2 Bleeding-Related Events Dasatinib can cause serious and fatal bleeding. In all CML or Ph+ ALL clinical studies, Grade ≥3 central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhages, including fatalities, occurred in <1% of patients receiving dasatinib. The incidence of Grade 3/4 hemorrhage occurred in 5.8% of adult patients and generally required treatment interruptions and transfusions. The incidence of Grade 5 hemorrhage occurred in 0.4% of adult patients. The most frequent site of hemorrhage was gastrointestinal [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Most bleeding events in clinical studies were associated with severe thrombocytopenia. In addition to causing thrombocytopenia in human subjects, dasatinib caused platelet dysfunction in vitro . Concomitant medications that inhibit platelet function or anticoagulants may increase the risk of hemorrhage. 5.3 Fluid Retention Dasatinib may cause fluid retention [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . After 5 years of follow-up in the adult randomized newly diagnosed chronic phase CML study (n=258), Grade 3 or 4 fluid retention was reported in 5% of patients, including 3% of patients with Grade 3 or 4 pleural effusion. In adult patients with newly diagnosed or imatinib-resistant or -intolerant chronic phase CML, Grade 3 or 4 fluid retention occurred in 6% of patients treated with dasatinib at the recommended dose (n=548). In adult patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL treated with dasatinib at the recommended dose (n=304), Grade 3 or 4 fluid retention was reported in 8% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 pleural effusion reported in 7% of patients. In pediatric patients with chronic phase CML, cases of Grade 1 or 2 fluid retention were reported in 10.3% of patients. Evaluate patients who develop symptoms of pleural effusion or other fluid retention, such as new or worsened dyspnea on exertion or at rest, pleuritic chest pain, or dry cough, promptly with a chest x-ray or additional diagnostic imaging as appropriate. Fluid retention events were typically managed by supportive care measures that may include diuretics or short courses of steroids. Severe pleural effusion may require thoracentesis and oxygen therapy. Consider dose reduction or treatment interruption [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . 5.4 Cardiovascular Toxicity Dasatinib can cause cardiac dysfunction [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . After 5 years of follow-up in the randomized newly diagnosed chronic phase CML trial in adults (n=258), the following cardiac adverse reactions occurred: cardiac ischemic events (3.9% dasatinib vs 1.6% imatinib), cardiac-related fluid retention (8.5% dasatinib vs 3.9% imatinib), and conduction system abnormalities, most commonly arrhythmia and palpitations (7.0% dasatinib vs 5.0% imatinib). Two cases (0.8%) of peripheral arterial occlusive disease occurred with imatinib and 2 (0.8%) transient ischemic attacks occurred with dasatinib. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms consistent with cardiac dysfunction and treat appropriately. 5.5 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Dasatinib may increase the risk of developing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adult and pediatric patients which may occur any time after initiation, including after more than 1 year of treatment. Manifestations include dyspnea, fatigue, hypoxia, and fluid retention [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . PAH may be reversible on discontinuation of dasatinib. Evaluate patients for signs and symptoms of underlying cardiopulmonary disease prior to initiating dasatinib and during treatment. If PAH is confirmed, dasatinib should be permanently discontinued. 5.6 QT Prolongation Dasatinib may increase the risk of prolongation of QTc in patients including those with hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, patients with congenital long QT syndrome, patients taking antiarrhythmic medicines or other medicinal products that lead to QT prolongation, and cumulative high-dose anthracycline therapy [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Correct hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia prior to and during dasatinib administration. 5.7 Severe Dermatologic Reactions Cases of severe mucocutaneous dermatologic reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] and erythema multiforme, have been reported in patients treated with dasatinib. Discontinue permanently in patients who experience a severe mucocutaneous reaction during treatment if no other etiology can be identified. 5.8 Tumor Lysis Syndrome Tumor lysis syndrome has been reported in patients with resistance to prior imatinib therapy, primarily in advanced phase disease. Due to potential for tumor lysis syndrome, maintain adequate hydration, correct uric acid levels prior to initiating therapy with dasatinib, and monitor electrolyte levels. Patients with advanced stage disease and/or high tumor burden may be at increased risk and should be monitored more frequently [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . 5.9 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on limited human data, dasatinib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Adverse pharmacologic effects of dasatinib including hydrops fetalis, fetal leukopenia, and fetal thrombocytopenia have been reported with maternal exposure to dasatinib. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with dasatinib and for 30 days after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )] . 5.10 Effects on Growth and Development in Pediatric Patients In pediatric trials of dasatinib in chronic phase CML after at least 2 years of treatment, adverse reactions associated with bone growth and development were reported in 5 (5.2%) patients, one of which was severe in intensity (Growth Retardation Grade 3). These 5 cases included cases of epiphyses delayed fusion, osteopenia, growth retardation, and gynecomastia [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Of these 5 cases, 1 case of osteopenia and 1 case of gynecomastia resolved during treatment. Monitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients. 5.11 Hepatotoxicity Dasatinib may cause hepatotoxicity as measured by elevations in bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Monitor transaminases at baseline and monthly or as clinically indicated during treatment. Reduce dose, withhold, or permanently discontinue dasatinib based on severity [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . When dasatinib is administered in combination with chemotherapy, liver toxicity in the form of transaminase elevation and hyperbilirubinemia has been observed. Monitor hepatic function when dasatinib is used in combination with chemotherapy.

The data described below reflect exposure to dasatinib administered as single-agent therapy at all doses tested in clinical studies (n=2809), including 324 adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, 2388 adult patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant chronic or advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, and 97 pediatric patients with chronic phase CML. The median duration of therapy in a total of 2712 adult patients was 19.2 months (range 0 to 93.2 months). In a randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, the median duration of therapy was approximately 60 months. The median duration of therapy in 1618 adult patients with chronic phase CML was 29 months (range 0 to 92.9 months). The median duration of therapy in 1094 adult patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL was 6.2 months (range 0 to 93.2 months). In two non-randomized trials in 97 pediatric patients with chronic phase CML (51 patients newly diagnosed and 46 patients resistant or intolerant to previous treatment with imatinib), the median duration of therapy was 51.1 months (range 1.9 to 99.6 months). In the overall population of 2712 adult patients, 88% of patients experienced adverse reactions at some time and 19% experienced adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation. In the randomized trial in adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, drug was discontinued for adverse reactions in 16% of patients with a minimum of 60 months of follow-up. After a minimum of 60 months of follow-up, the cumulative discontinuation rate was 39%. Among the 1618 patients with chronic phase CML, drug-related adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were reported in 329 (20.3%) patients; among the 1094 patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, drug-related adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were reported in 191 (17.5%) patients. Among the 97 pediatric subjects, drug-related adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were reported in 1 patient (1%). Adverse reactions reported in ≥10% of adult patients, and other adverse reactions of interest, in a randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML at a median follow-up of approximately 60 months are presented in Table 6. Adverse reactions reported in ≥10% of adult patients treated at the recommended dose of 100 mg once daily (n=165), and other adverse reactions of interest, in a randomized dose-optimization trial of patients with chronic phase CML resistant or intolerant to prior imatinib therapy at a median follow-up of approximately 84 months are presented in Table 8. Adverse reactions reported in ≥10% of pediatric patients at a median follow-up of approximately 51.1 months are presented in Table 11. Drug-related serious adverse reactions (SARs) were reported for 16.7% of adult patients in the randomized trial of patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML. Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of patients included pleural effusion (5%). Drug-related SARs were reported for 26.1% of patients treated at the recommended dose of 100 mg once daily in the randomized dose-optimization trial of adult patients with chronic phase CML resistant or intolerant to prior imatinib therapy. Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of patients included pleural effusion (10%). Drug-related SARs were reported for 14.4% of pediatric patients. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Adverse reactions (excluding laboratory abnormalities) that were reported in at least 10% of adult patients are shown in Table 6 for newly diagnosed patients with chronic phase CML and Tables 8 and 10 for CML patients with resistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy.

Laboratory Abnormalities Myelosuppression was commonly reported in all patient populations. The frequency of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia was higher in patients with advanced phase CML than in chronic phase CML (Tables 12 and 13). Myelosuppression was reported in patients with normal baseline laboratory values as well as in patients with pre-existing laboratory abnormalities. In patients who experienced severe myelosuppression, recovery generally occurred following dose interruption or reduction; permanent discontinuation of treatment occurred in 2% of adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML and 5% of adult patients with resistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Grade 3 or 4 elevations of transaminases or bilirubin and Grade 3 or 4 hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, and hypophosphatemia were reported in patients with all phases of CML but were reported with an increased frequency in patients with myeloid or lymphoid blast phase CML. Elevations in transaminases or bilirubin were usually managed with dose reduction or interruption. Patients developing Grade 3 or 4 hypocalcemia during dasatinib therapy often had recovery with oral calcium supplementation. Laboratory abnormalities reported in adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML are shown in Table 12. There were no discontinuations of dasatinib therapy in this patient population due to biochemical laboratory parameters.

Among adult patients with chronic phase CML with resistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy, cumulative Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias were similar at 2 and 5 years including: neutropenia (36% vs 36%), thrombocytopenia (23% vs 24%), and anemia (13% vs 13%). In the pediatric studies in CML, the rates of laboratory abnormalities were consistent with the known profile for laboratory parameters in adults. Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in Adults A total of 135 adult patients with Ph+ ALL were treated with dasatinib in clinical studies. The median duration of treatment was 3 months (range 0.03 to 31 months). The safety profile of patients with Ph+ ALL was similar to those with lymphoid blast phase CML. The most frequently reported adverse reactions included fluid retention events, such as pleural effusion (24%) and superficial edema (19%), and gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhea (31%), nausea (24%), and vomiting (16%). Hemorrhage (19%), pyrexia (17%), rash (16%), and dyspnea (16%) were also frequently reported. Serious adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of patients included pleural effusion (11%), gastrointestinal bleeding (7%), febrile neutropenia (6%), and infection (5%). Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in Pediatric Patients The safety of dasatinib administered continuously in combination with multiagent chemotherapy was determined in a multicohort study of 81 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL [see Clinical Studies (14.4)] . The median duration of therapy was 24 months (range 2 to 27 months). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3 patients (4%), all of which were due to infections. Eight (10%) patients experienced adverse reactions leading to treatment discontinuation, including fungal sepsis, hepatotoxicity in the setting of graft versus host disease, thrombocytopenia, CMV infection, pneumonia, nausea, enteritis and drug hypersensitivity. The most common serious adverse reactions (incidence ≥10%) were pyrexia, febrile neutropenia, mucositis, diarrhea, sepsis, hypotension, infections (bacterial, viral and fungal), hypersensitivity, vomiting, renal insufficiency, abdominal pain, and musculoskeletal pain. The incidence of common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) on study are shown in Table 14: Table 14: Adverse Reactions Reported in ≥20% of Pediatric Patients with Ph+ ALL Treated with Dasatinib in Combination with Chemotherapy CA180372 (N=81) Percent (%) of Patients Adverse Reaction All Grades Grade 3/4 Mucositis 93 60 Febrile neutropenia 86 86 Pyrexia 85 17 Diarrhea 84 31 Nausea 84 11 Vomiting 83 17 Musculoskeletal pain 83 25 Abdominal pain 78 17 Cough 78 1 Headache 77 15 Rash 68 7 Fatigue 59 3 Constipation 57 1 Arrhythmia 47 12 Hypertension 47 10 Edema 47 6 Viral infection 40 12 Hypotension 40 26 Decreased appetite 38 22 Hypersensitivity 36 20 Upper respiratory tract infection 36 10 Dyspnea 35 10 Epistaxis 31 6 Peripheral neuropathy 31 7 Sepsis (excluding fungal) n/a 31 Altered state of consciousness 30 4 Fungal infection 30 11 Pneumonia (excluding fungal) 28 25 Pruritus 28 - Clostridial infection (excluding sepsis) 25 14 Urinary Tract Infection 24 14 Bacteremia (excluding fungal) 22 20 Erythema 22 6 Chills 21 - Pleural effusion 21 9 Sinusitis 21 10 Dehydration 20 9 Renal insufficiency 20 9 Visual impairment 20 - The incidence of common adverse reactions attributed by the investigator to dasatinib (reported at a frequency of ≥10%, all grades and grade 3/4, respectively) on study (N=81), included febrile neutropenia (23%, 23%), nausea (21%, 4%), vomiting (19%, 4%), mucositis (17%, 6%), musculoskeletal pain (17%, 2%), abdominal pain (16%, 5%), diarrhea (16%, 7%), rash (15%, 0%), fatigue (12%, 0%), pyrexia (12%, 6%), and headache (12%, 5%).

Drug Interactions
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Dose reduction may be necessary. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Dose increase may be necessary. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) Antacids: Avoid simultaneous administration. ( 7.1 ) H 2 Antagonists and Proton Pump Inhibitors: Avoid coadministration. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on Dasatinib Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors The coadministration with strong CYP3A inhibitors may increase dasatinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Increased dasatinib concentrations may increase the risk of toxicity. Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. If concomitant administration of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided, consider a dasatinib dose reduction [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . Strong CYP3A4 Inducers The coadministration of dasatinib with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease dasatinib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Decreased dasatinib concentrations may reduce efficacy. Consider alternative drugs with less enzyme induction potential. If concomitant administration of a strong CYP3A4 inducer cannot be avoided, consider a dasatinib dose increase. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents The coadministration of dasatinib with a gastric acid reducing agent may decrease the concentrations of dasatinib. Decreased dasatinib concentrations may reduce efficacy. Do not administer H 2 antagonists or proton pump inhibitors with dasatinib. Consider the use of antacids in place of H 2 antagonists or proton pump inhibitors. Administer the antacid at least 2 hours prior to or 2 hours after the dose of dasatinib. Avoid simultaneous administration of dasatinib with antacids.
