4 CONTRAINDICATIONS VANFLYTA is contraindicated in patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, long QT syndrome, or in patients with a history of ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Contraindicated in patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, long QT syndrome, or in patients with a history of ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes. ( 4 , 5.1 )

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS QT Prolongation, Torsades de Pointes, and Cardiac Arrest: Monitor electrocardiograms and levels of serum electrolytes. Reduce, interrupt, or permanently discontinue VANFLYTA as appropriate. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: VANFLYTA can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.3 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 QT Prolongation, Torsades de Pointes, and Cardiac Arrest VANFLYTA prolongs the QT interval in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner. The mechanism of QTc interval prolongation is via inhibition of the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, I Ks , as compared to all other medications that prolong the QTc interval, which is via the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current, I Kr . Therefore, the level of QTc prolongation with VANFLYTA that predicts the risk of cardiac arrhythmias is unclear. Inhibition of I Ks and I Kr may leave patients with limited reserve leading to a higher risk of QT prolongation and serious cardiac arrhythmias, including fatal outcomes [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Torsades de pointes, ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and sudden death have occurred in patients treated with VANFLYTA. Of the 1,081 patients with AML treated with VANFLYTA in clinical trials, torsades de pointes occurred in approximately 0.2% of patients, cardiac arrest occurred in 0.6%, including 0.4% with a fatal outcome, and 0.1% of patients experienced ventricular fibrillation [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . These severe cardiac arrhythmias occurred predominantly during the induction phase. Of the 265 patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD-positive AML treated with VANFLYTA in combination with chemotherapy in the clinical trial, 2.3% were found to have a QTcF greater than 500 ms and 10% of patients had an increase from baseline QTcF greater than 60 ms. The clinical trial excluded patients with a QTcF ≥450 ms or other factors that increased the risk of QT prolongation or arrhythmic events (e.g., NYHA Class III or IV congestive heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT interval syndrome). Therefore, avoid use in patients who are at significant risk of developing torsades de pointes, including uncontrolled or significant cardiac disease, recent myocardial infarction, heart failure, unstable angina, bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, high-degree atrioventricular block, severe aortic stenosis, or uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Do not initiate treatment with VANFLYTA if the QTcF interval is greater than 450 ms. Do not use VANFLYTA in patients with severe hypokalemia, severe hypomagnesemia, long QT syndrome, or in patients with a history of ventricular arrhythmias or torsades de pointes [see Contraindications (4) ] . Perform an ECG and correct electrolyte abnormalities prior to initiation of treatment with VANFLYTA. During induction and consolidation, perform an ECG prior to initiation and then once weekly during VANFLYTA treatment or more frequently as clinically indicated. During maintenance, perform ECGs prior to initiation, once weekly for at least the first month following dose initiation and escalation, and as clinically indicated thereafter. Do not escalate the dose if QTcF is greater than 450 ms [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Perform ECG monitoring of the QT interval more frequently in patients who are at significant risk of developing QT interval prolongation and torsades de pointes, or following dose escalation. Monitor and correct hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia prior to and during treatment with VANFLYTA. Maintain electrolytes in the normal range. Monitor electrolytes and ECGs more frequently in patients who experience diarrhea or vomiting. Monitor patients more frequently with ECGs if coadministration of VANFLYTA with drugs known to prolong the QT interval is required [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . R …

Adverse Reactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: QT Prolongation, Torsades de Pointes, and Cardiac Arrest [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common (>20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, are lymphocytes decreased, potassium decreased, albumin decreased, phosphorus decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, magnesium decreased, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, mucositis, nausea, calcium decreased, abdominal pain, sepsis, neutropenia, headache, creatine phosphokinase increased, vomiting, and upper respiratory tract infection. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. at 1-877-437-7763 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical 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. Newly Diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML The safety of VANFLYTA (35.4 mg orally once daily with chemotherapy, 26.5 mg to 53 mg orally once daily as maintenance) in adult patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD positive AML is based on QuANTUM-First, a randomized, double-blind clinical trial of VANFLYTA (n=265) or placebo (n=268) with chemotherapy [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Among patients who received VANFLYTA, 38% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 30% were exposed for greater than one year. On the VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy arm, 65% and 44% of patients completed induction and consolidation therapy, respectively, compared to 65% and 34% of patients in the placebo plus chemotherapy arm. Serious adverse reactions in ≥5% of patients who received VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy were: febrile neutropenia (11%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 10% of patients who received VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy, including sepsis (5%), fungal infections (0.8%), brain edema (0.8%), and one case each of febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, cerebral infarction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary embolism, ventricular dysfunction, and cardiac arrest. Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction in patients in the VANFLYTA plus chemotherapy arm occurred in 20% of patients. The most frequent (≥2%) adverse reaction which resulted in permanent discontinuation in the VANFLYTA arm was sepsis (5%). Dosage interruptions of VANFLYTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 34% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients in the VANFLYTA arm included neutropenia (11%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and myelosuppression (3%). Dose reductions of VANFLYTA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 19% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage reductions in ≥2% of patients in the VANFLYTA arm were neutropenia (9%), thrombocytopenia (5%), and electrocardiogram QT prolonged (4%). The most common adverse reactions (≥10% with a difference between arms of ≥2% compared to placebo), including laboratory abnormalities, were lymphocytes decreased, potassium decreased, albumin decreased, phosphorus decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, magnesium decreased, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, mucositis, nausea, calcium decreased, abdominal pain, sepsis, neutropenia, headache, creatine phosphokinase increased, vomiting, upper respiratory tract infections, hypertransaminasemia, thrombocytopenia, decreased appetite, fungal infections, epistaxis, potassium increased, herpesvirus infections, insomnia, electrocardiogram QT prolonged, magnesium increased, sodium increased, dyspepsia, anemia, and eye irritation. Tables 5 and 6 summarize adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities observed in patients receiving VANFLYTA in the clinical trial.

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Table 7: Effect of Other Drugs on VANFLYTA Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Clinical Impact VANFLYTA is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases quizartinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of VANFLYTA adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Reduce the dosage of VANFLYTA [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decreases quizartinib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce VANFLYTA efficacy. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VANFLYTA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . QT Interval Prolonging Drugs Clinical Impact VANFLYTA prolongs the QT/QTc interval. Coadministration of VANFLYTA with other drugs that prolong the QT interval may further increase the incidence of QT prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Prevention or Management Monitor patients more frequently with ECG if co-administration of VANFLYTA with drugs known to prolong the QT interval is required. Examples of QT prolonging drugs include but are not limited to antifungal azoles, ondansetron, granisetron, azithromycin, pentamidine, doxycycline, moxifloxacin, atovaquone, prochlorperazine, and tacrolimus. Breast Cancer Resistant Protein (BCRP) Substrates Clinical Impact Concomitant use of VANFLYTA with BCRP substrates may increase the risk of BCRP substrate-associated adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of VANFLYTA with drugs that are BCRP substrates where possible. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients more frequently for BCRP substrate-associated adverse reactions and decrease the BCRP substrates dosage(s) in accordance with the respective Prescribing Information. Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Reduce the VANFLYTA dose. ( 2.4 , 7 ) Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7 , 12.3 ) Breast Cancer Resistant Protein (BCRP) substrates: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7 , 12.3 )

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, VANFLYTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data on VANFLYTA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of quizartinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately 3 times those in patients at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 53 mg/day ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4%, and of miscarriage is 15-20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received oral doses of quizartinib of 0, 0.6, 2, or 6 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Administration of quizartinib at the dose of 6 mg/kg/day was associated with adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities (anasarca and edema) and alterations to growth (lower fetal weights and effects on skeletal ossification). At this dose, the maternal systemic exposures (AUC) were approximately 3 times the human exposure at the MRHD of 53 mg/day. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of quizartinib or its metabolites in human milk, or the effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with VANFLYTA and for one month after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential VANFLYTA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential within seven days before starting treatment with VANFLYTA. Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VANFLYTA and for 7 months after the last dose. Males Based on genotoxicity findings, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with VANFLYTA and for 4 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Infertility Females Based on findings from animal studies, VANFLYTA may impair female fertility. These effects on fertility were reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . Males Based on findings from animal studies, VANFLYTA may impair male fertility. These effects on fertility were reversible [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ]. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of VANFLYTA have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use There were 533 patients with newly diagnosed AML in the clinical study; of the total number of VANFLYTA-treated patients, 69 (26%) were 65 years of age and older, while 1 (0.4%) was 75 years of age [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients. 8.6 Renal Impairment No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (i.e., estimated creatinine clearance [CLcr] by Cockcroft-Gault equation: CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min). VANFLYTA has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5 times ULN and any value for AST) or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 times ULN and any value for AST). VANFLYTA has not been studied in patients with severe (Child-Pugh Class C or total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any value for AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pha …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Quizartinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3. Quizartinib and its major active metabolite AC886 bind to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding domain of FLT3 with comparable affinity, and both had 10-fold lower affinity towards FLT3-ITD mutation compared to FLT3 in a binding assay. Quizartinib and AC886 inhibited FLT3 kinase activity, preventing autophosphorylation of the receptor, thereby inhibiting downstream FLT3 receptor signaling and blocking FLT3-ITD-dependent cell proliferation. Quizartinib showed antitumor activity in a mouse model of FLT3-ITD-dependent leukemia.

A report count is not a risk measure. FAERS accepts voluntary and mandatory reports without establishing causation, and reporting is influenced by how widely a drug is used, how long it has been marketed, and media attention. FDA states that reports “do not prove that the drug caused the event”. Compare rates, not totals.
