MYLOTARG™ Use in Specific Populations

(gemtuzumab ozogamicin)

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal studies [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)], MYLOTARG can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on MYLOTARG use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, gemtuzumab ozogamicin caused embryo-fetal toxicity, including structural abnormalities and alterations to growth, at maternal systemic exposures that were greater than or equal to 0.4 times the exposure in patients at the maximum recommended dose based on AUC (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.

Data

Animal Data

In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received daily intravenous doses up to 1.2 mg/m2/day gemtuzumab ozogamicin during the period of organogenesis. Embryo-fetal toxicities including fetal growth retardation as evidenced by decreased live fetal weights, incidence of fetal wavy ribs and delayed skeletal ossification were observed at greater than or equal to 0.15 mg/m2/day. Increased embryo-fetal lethality and fetal morphological anomalies (digital malformations, absence of the aortic arch, anomalies in the long bones in the forelimbs, misshapen scapula, absence of a vertebral centrum, and fused sternebrae) were observed at greater than or equal to 0.36 mg/m2/day. All doses with embryo-fetal effects were observed in the presence of maternal toxicity that included decreases in gestational body weight gain, food consumption, and gravid uterine weight. The lowest dose at which embryo-fetal effects were observed in rats (0.15 mg/m2/day) was 0.4 times the exposure in patients at the maximum recommended human dose, based on AUC.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of gemtuzumab ozogamicin or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with MYLOTARG and for at least 1 month after the final dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

MYLOTARG can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Pregnancy Testing

Verify the pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating MYLOTARG.

Contraception

Females

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MYLOTARG and for at least 6 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Males

Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with MYLOTARG and for at least 3 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Infertility

Females

Based on findings in animals, MYLOTARG may impair female fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Males

Based on findings in animals, MYLOTARG may impair male fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of MYLOTARG in combination with standard chemotherapy have been established in pediatric patients 1 month and older with newly-diagnosed de novo AML. The use of MYLOTARG for this indication is supported by evidence of effectiveness from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with supportive data on safety and effectiveness in Study AAML0531 (NCT00372593) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Studies (14.1)]. AAML0531 included patients in the following age groups: 2 patients less than 27 days old, 94 patients 28 days to less than 2 years old, 225 patients 2 years to less than 12 years old, 175 patients 12 years old to less than 18 years old, and 36 patients 18 years or older in the MYLOTARG plus chemotherapy arm. The safety and effectiveness of MYLOTARG with standard chemotherapy in pediatric patients less than 1 month of age with newly-diagnosed de novo AML have not been established.

The safety and effectiveness of MYLOTARG as a single agent in pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed AML have not been established.

The safety and effectiveness of MYLOTARG as a single agent in the pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory AML is supported by a single-arm trial in 29 patients in the following age groups: 1 patient 1 month to less than 2 years old, 13 patients 2 years to less than 12 years old, and 15 patients 12 years to 18 years old. A literature review included an additional 96 patients with ages ranging from 0.2 to 21 years. No differences in efficacy and safety were observed by age. The information on this use is discussed throughout the labeling. The safety and effectiveness of MYLOTARG as a single agent in pediatric patients less than 2 years of age with relapsed or refractory AML have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Use of MYLOTARG in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine in newly-diagnosed adult patients with de novo AML is supported by a randomized, controlled trial that included 50 patients greater than or equal to 65 years old. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. Use of MYLOTARG monotherapy in newly-diagnosed adult patients with AML is supported by a randomized controlled trial with 118 patients treated with MYLOTARG. All patients were over the age of 60 years and 65% of patients were above 75 years. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed by age.

Use of MYLOTARG as single-agent treatment of relapsed or refractory AML is supported by a single-arm trial that included 27 patients 65 years or older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients. Elderly patients experienced a higher rate of fever and severe or greater infections.
