Dosage And Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Newly-diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML: 400 mg orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 ) • Chronic, accelerated, or blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy: 500 mg orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 ) • Consider dose escalation by increments of 100 mg once daily to a maximum of 600 mg daily in patients who do not reach complete hematologic, cytogenetic, or molecular response and do not have Grade 3 or greater adverse reactions. ( 2.2 ) • Adjust dosage for toxicity and organ impairment ( 2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosing The recommended dose is taken orally once daily with food. The tablet is to be swallowed whole and should not be broken or cut. Continue treatment with BOSULIF until disease progression or intolerance to therapy. If a dose is missed beyond 12 hours, the patient should skip the dose and take the usual prescribed dose on the following day. Newly-Diagnosed CP Ph+ CML The recommended dose of BOSULIF is 400 mg orally once daily with food. CP, AP, or BP Ph+ CML with Resistance or Intolerance to Prior Therapy The recommended dose and schedule of BOSULIF is 500 mg orally once daily with food. 2.2 Dose Escalation In clinical studies of adult Ph+ CML patients, dose escalation by increments of 100 mg once daily to a maximum of 600 mg once daily was allowed in patients who did not achieve or maintain a hematologic, cytogenetic, or molecular response and who did not have Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions at the recommended starting dosage. 2.3 Dose Adjustments for Non-Hematologic Adverse Reactions Elevated liver transaminases: If elevations in liver transaminases greater than 5×institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) occur, withhold BOSULIF until recovery to less than or equal to 2.5×ULN and resume at 400 mg once daily thereafter. If recovery takes longer than 4 weeks, discontinue BOSULIF. If transaminase elevations greater than or equal to 3×ULN occur concurrently with bilirubin elevations greater than 2×ULN and alkaline phosphatase less than 2×ULN (Hy's law case definition), discontinue BOSULIF [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Diarrhea: For National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Grade 3–4 diarrhea (increase of greater than or equal to 7 stools/day over baseline/pretreatment), withhold BOSULIF until recovery to Grade less than or equal to 1. BOSULIF may be resumed at 400 mg once daily [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . For other clinically significant, moderate or severe non-hematological toxicity, withhold BOSULIF until the toxicity has resolved, then consider resuming BOSULIF at a dose reduced by 100 mg taken once daily. If clinically appropriate, consider re-escalating the dose of BOSULIF to the starting dose taken once daily. Doses less than 300 mg/day have been used in patients; however, efficacy has not been established. 2.4 Dose Adjustments for Myelosuppression Dose reductions for severe or persistent neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are described below (Table 1). Table 1: Dose Adjustments for Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia ANC Absolute Neutrophil Count less than 1000×10 6 /L or Platelets less than 50,000×10 6 /L Withhold BOSULIF until ANC greater than or equal to1000×10 6 /L and platelets greater than or equal to 50,000×10 6 /L. Resume treatment with BOSULIF at the same dose if recovery occurs within 2 weeks. If blood counts remain low for greater than 2 weeks, upon recovery, reduce dose by 100 mg and resume treatment. If cytopenia recurs, reduce dose by an additional 100 mg upon recovery and resume treatment . Doses less than 300 mg/day have been used in patients; however, efficacy has not been established. 2.5 Dose Adjustments for Renal Impairment or Hepatic Impairment The recommended starting doses for patients with renal and hepatic impairment are described in Table 2 below.

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use with BOSULIF. ( 7.1 ) • Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with BOSULIF. ( 7.1 ) • Proton Pump Inhibitors: Use short-acting antacids or H2 blockers as an alternative to proton pump inhibitors. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on BOSULIF Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increased bosutinib C max and AUC compared to BOSULIF alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] which may increase the risk of toxicities. Avoid the concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with BOSULIF. Strong CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreased bosutinib C max and AUC compared to BOSULIF alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] which may reduce BOSULIF efficacy. Avoid the concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers with BOSULIF . Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) Concomitant use with a PPI decreased bosutinib C max and AUC compared to BOSULIF alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] which may reduce BOSULIF efficacy. As an alternative to PPIs, use short-acting antacids or H2 blockers and separate dosing by more than 2 hours from BOSULIF dosing.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Bosutinib is a TKI. Bosutinib inhibits the BCR-ABL kinase that promotes CML; it is also an inhibitor of Src-family kinases including Src, Lyn, and Hck. Bosutinib inhibited 16 of 18 imatinib-resistant forms of BCR-ABL kinase expressed in murine myeloid cell lines. Bosutinib did not inhibit the T315I and V299L mutant cells. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Based on the exposure response analyses for efficacy, a relationship between drug exposure and a greater likelihood of response was observed in clinical studies. Based on the exposure response analyses for safety, a relationship between drug exposure and a greater likelihood of safety events was observed in clinical studies. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a single oral dose of 500 mg BOSULIF with ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor), BOSULIF does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The bosutinib pharmacokinetics following oral dosing was assessed with food, unless otherwise specified. Bosutinib exhibits dose proportional increases in AUC and C max over the oral dose range of 200 to 800 mg (0.33 to 1.3 times the maximum approved recommended dosage of 600 mg). The mean (standard deviation [SD]) C max was 146 (20) ng/mL and the mean (SD) AUC was 2720 (442) ng∙h/mL following multiple oral doses of BOSULIF 400 mg in patients with CML; C max was 200 (12) ng/mL and AUC was 3650 (425) ng∙h/mL following multiple oral doses of BOSULIF 500 mg in patients with CML. Absorption Following administration of a single oral dose of BOSULIF 500 mg with food in patients with CML, the median (minimum, maximum) time-to-peak concentration (t max ) was 6.0 (6.0, 6.0) hours. The absolute bioavailability was 34% in healthy subjects. Effect of Food When given with a high fat meal in healthy subjects, oral bosutinib C max increased 1.8-fold and AUC increased 1.7-fold. The high-fat meal (800–1000 total calories) consisted of approximately 150 protein calories, 250 carbohydrate calories, and 500–600 fat calories. Distribution Following a single intravenous dose of bosutinib 120 mg (0.2 times the maximum approved recommended oral dosage of 600 mg) in healthy subjects, bosutinib had a mean (SD) volume of distribution of 2441 (796) L. The mean (SD) apparent volume of distribution after an oral dose of 500 mg of BOSULIF to patients with CML was 6080 (1230) L. Protein binding of bosutinib is 94% in vitro and 96% ex vivo, and is independent of concentration. Elimination Following a single intravenous dose of bosutinib 120 mg (0.2 times the maximum approved recommended oral dosage of 600 mg), the mean (SD) terminal phase elimination half-life (t ½ ) was 35.5 (8.5) hours, and the mean (SD) clearance (Cl) was 63.6 (14.1) L/h. Following a single oral dose of BOSULIF in patients with CML, the mean (SD) t ½ was 22.5 (1.7) hours, and the mean (SD) Cl was 189 (48) L/h. Metabolism Bosutinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Excretion Following a single oral dose of [ 14 C] radiolabeled bosutinib without food, 91.3% of the dose was recovered in feces and 3.3% of the dose recovered in urine. Specific Populations Patients with Renal Impairment Following a single oral dose of BOSULIF 200 mg (0.33 times the maximum approved recommended dosage of 600 mg), bosutinib AUC increased 1.4-fold in subjects with moderate renal impairment (CL cr : 30 to 50 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault (C-G)) and increased 1.6-fold in subjects with severe renal impairment (CL cr less than 30 mL/min) compared to subjects with normal renal function (CLcr > 80 mL/min, C-G). No clinically significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of bosutinib was observed in subjects with mild renal impairment (CL cr : 51 to 80 mL/min, C-G) . Patients with Hepatic Impairment Following a single oral dose of BOSULIF 200 mg (0.33 times the maximum approved recommended dosage of 600 mg), bosutinib C max increased 2.4-fold, 2-fold, and 1.5-fold, and AUC increased 2.3-fold, 2-fold, and 1.9-fold in hepatic impairment Child-Pugh A, B, and C, respectively. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies The following interactions were evaluated in crossover studies of healthy subjects, unless otherwise specified. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors A single oral dose of BOSULIF 100 mg (0.17 times the maximum approved recommended dosage) was administered alone or following multiple daily doses of 400 mg ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) without food. Ketoconazole increased bosutinib C max and AUC 5.2-fold and 8.6-fold, respectively. A single oral dose of BOSULIF 500 mg was administered alone or in combination with 125 mg aprepitant (a moderate CYP3A inhibitor) with food. Aprepitant increased bosutinib C max 1.5-fold and AUC 2.0-fold. Strong CYP3A Inducers A single dose of BOSULIF 500 mg was administered alone or following multiple daily doses of 600 mg rifampin with food. Rifampin decreased bosutinib C max by 86% and AUC by 94%. Proton Pump Inhibitors BOSULIF displays pH-dependent aqueous solubility, in vitro. A single oral dose of BOSULIF 400 mg was administered alone or following multiple oral doses of lansoprazole 60 mg without food. Lansoprazole decreased bosutinib C max by 46% and AUC by 26%. P-gp Substrates A single oral dose of 500 mg BOSULIF was administered in combination with a single oral dose of 150 mg dabigatran etexilate mesylate (a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate). No clinically significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of dabigatran was observed following bosutinib administration. In Vitro Studies Bosutinib Effect on Transporters Bosutinib may have the potential to inhibit breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) in the gastrointestinal tract but has a low potential to inhibit BCRP, systemically, or organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT)1, OAT3, organic cation transporter (OCT)1, and OCT2 at clinically relevant concentrations.

Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Bosutinib was not carcinogenic in rats or transgenic mice. The rat 2-year carcinogenicity study was conducted at bosutinib oral doses up to 25 mg/kg in males and 15 mg/kg in females. Exposures at these doses were approximately 1.5 times (males) and 3.1 times (females) the human exposure at the 400 mg dose and 1.2 times (males) and 2.4 times (females) exposure in humans at the 500 mg dose. The 6-month RasH2 transgenic mouse carcinogenicity study was conducted at bosutinib oral doses up to 60 mg/kg. Bosutinib was not mutagenic or clastogenic in a battery of tests, including the bacteria reverse mutation assay (Ames Test), the in vitro assay using human peripheral blood lymphocytes and the micronucleus test in orally treated male mice. In a rat fertility study, drug-treated males were mated with untreated females, or untreated males were mated with drug-treated females. Females were administered the drug from pre-mating through early embryonic development. The dose of 70 mg/kg/day of bosutinib resulted in reduced fertility in males as demonstrated by 16% reduction in the number of pregnancies. There were no lesions in the male reproductive organs at this dose. This dose of 70 mg/kg/day resulted in exposure (AUC) in male rats approximately 1.5 times and equal to the human exposure at the recommended doses of 400 and 500 mg/day, respectively. Fertility (number of pregnancies) was not affected when female rats were treated with bosutinib. However, there were increased embryonic resorptions at greater than or equal to 10 mg/kg/day of bosutinib (1.6 and 1.2 times the human exposure at the recommended doses of 400 and 500 mg/day, respectively), and decreased implantations and reduced number of viable embryos at 30 mg/kg/day of bosutinib (3.4 and 2.5 times the human exposure at the recommended doses of 400 or 500 mg/day, respectively).

PATIENT INFORMATION BOSULIF® (BAH-su-lif) (bosutinib) tablets

This Patient Information has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Revised: May 2021

What is BOSULIF? BOSULIF is a prescription medicine used to treat adults who have a certain type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML) who are newly-diagnosed or who no longer benefit from or did not tolerate other treatment. It is not known if BOSULIF is safe and effective in children less than 18 years of age.

Do not take BOSULIF if you are allergic to bosutinib or any of the ingredients in BOSULIF. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients of BOSULIF.

Before taking BOSULIF, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have liver problems
  • have heart problems
  • have kidney problems
  • have high blood pressure
  • have diabetes
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. BOSULIF can harm your unborn baby. Females who are able to become pregnant should have a pregnancy test before starting treatment with BOSULIF. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment with BOSULIF.
  • Females who are able to become pregnant should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with BOSULIF and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose. Talk to your doctor about birth control methods that may be right for you.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if BOSULIF passes into your breast milk or if it can harm your baby. Do not breastfeed during treatment with BOSULIF and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose.
  • Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. When taken together, BOSULIF and certain other medicines can affect each other. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your doctor and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

    How should I take BOSULIF?

  • Take BOSULIF exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
  • Do not change your dose or stop taking BOSULIF without first talking with your doctor.
  • Take BOSULIF with food.
  • Swallow BOSULIF tablets whole. Do not crush, break, or cut BOSULIF tablets. Do not touch or handle crushed or broken BOSULIF tablets.
  • If you take an antacid or H2 blocker medicine, take it at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after BOSULIF. If you take a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) medicine, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
  • You should avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with BOSULIF. Grapefruit products increase the amount of BOSULIF in your body.
  • If you miss a dose of BOSULIF, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss a dose by more than 12 hours, skip that dose and take your next dose at your regular time. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.
  • If you take too much BOSULIF, call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.
  • What are the possible side effects of BOSULIF? BOSULIF may cause serious side effects, including:

  • Stomach problems. BOSULIF may cause stomach (abdomen) pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, or blood in your stools. Get medical help right away for any stomach problems.
  • Low blood cell counts. BOSULIF may cause low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), low red blood cell counts (anemia) and low white blood cell counts (neutropenia). Your doctor should do blood tests to check your blood cell counts regularly during your treatment with BOSULIF. Call your doctor right away if you have unexpected bleeding or bruising, blood in your urine or stools, fever, or any signs of an infection.

    Clinical Studies

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Newly-Diagnosed CP Ph+ CML The efficacy of BOSULIF in patients with newly-diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML was evaluated in the B osutinib trial in F irst-line chr O nic myelogenous leukemia t RE atment (BFORE) Trial: "A Multicenter Phase 3, Open-Label Study of Bosutinib Versus Imatinib in Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia" [NCT02130557]. The BFORE Trial is a 2-arm, open-label, randomized, multicenter trial conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of BOSULIF 400 mg once daily alone compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily alone in adult patients with newly-diagnosed CP Ph+ CML. The trial randomized 536 patients (268 in each arm) with Ph+ or Ph- newly-diagnosed CP CML (intent-to-treat [ITT] population) including 487 patients with Ph+ CML harboring b2a2 and/or b3a2 transcripts at baseline and baseline BCR-ABL copies >0 (modified intent-to-treat [mITT] population). Randomization was stratified by Sokal score and geographical region. All patients are being treated and/or followed for up to 5 years (240 weeks). Efficacy was evaluated in the mITT population. The major efficacy outcome measure was major molecular response (MMR) at 12 months (48 weeks) defined as ≤0.1% BCR-ABL ratio on international scale (corresponding to ≥3 log reduction from standardized baseline) with a minimum of 3000 ABL transcripts as assessed by the central laboratory. Additional efficacy outcomes included CCyR by 12 months, defined as the absence of Ph+ metaphases in chromosome banding analysis of ≥20 metaphases derived from bone marrow aspirate or MMR if an adequate cytogenetic assessment was unavailable and MMR by 18 months (72 weeks). In the mITT population in this study, 57% of patients were males, 78% were Caucasian, and 19% were 65 years or older. The median age was 53 years. At baseline, the distribution of Sokal risk scores was similar in bosutinib and imatinib-treated patients (low risk: 35% and 39%; intermediate risk: 44% and 38%; high risk: 22% and 22%, respectively). After a minimum of 12 months follow-up, 78% of the 246 bosutinib-treated patients and 72% of the 239 imatinib-treated patients were still receiving treatment and with a minimum of 60 months of follow-up, 60% and 60% of patients, respectively, were still receiving treatment. The median treatment duration was 55.1 months for BOSULIF and 55.0 months for imatinib. The efficacy results from the BFORE trial are summarized in Table 8.

MMR by Month 60 (Week 240) in the mITT population was 74% (95% CI: 69, 80) in the bosutinib treatment group and 66% (95% CI: 60, 72) in the imatinib treatment group; odds ratio of 1.52 (95% CI: 1.02, 2.25). MMR by Month 60 in the ITT population was also consistent with the mITT population (1.57 [95% CI: 1.08, 2.28]). After 60 months of follow-up, the median time to MMR in responders was 9.0 months for bosutinib and 11.9 months for imatinib. By 60 months, the MMR rates in each Sokal risk group for the bosutinib and imatinib-treated patients, respectively, were 78% and 72% for low risk, 74% and 67% for intermediate risk and 68% and 52% for high risk. After 60 months of follow-up, 6 (2%) bosutinib patients and 7 (3%) imatinib patients transformed to AP CML or BP CML while on treatment. At 60 months, the estimated overall survival rate was 95% (95% CI: 91, 97) in the bosutinib group and 94% (95% CI: 90, 96) in the imatinib group. 14.2 Imatinib-Resistant or -Intolerant Ph+ CP, AP, and BP CML Study 200 (NCT00261846), a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study in patients with CML who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BOSULIF 500 mg once daily in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML with separate cohorts for CP, AP, and BP disease previously treated with 1 prior TKI (imatinib) or more than 1 TKI (imatinib followed by dasatinib and/or nilotinib) . The definition of imatinib resistance included (1) failure to achieve or maintain any hematologic improvement within 4 weeks; (2) failure to achieve a CHR by 3 months, cytogenetic response by 6 months or major cytogenetic response (MCyR) by 12 months; (3) progression of disease after a previous cytogenetic or hematologic response; or (4) presence of a genetic mutation in the BCR-ABL gene associated with imatinib resistance. Imatinib intolerance was defined as inability to tolerate imatinib due to toxicity, or progression on imatinib and inability to receive a higher dose due to toxicity. The definitions of resistance and intolerance to both dasatinib and nilotinib were similar to those for imatinib. The protocol was amended to exclude patients with a known history of the T315I mutation after 396 patients were enrolled in the trial. The efficacy endpoints for patients with CP CML previously treated with 1 prior TKI (imatinib) were the rate of attaining MCyR by Week 24 and the duration of MCyR. The efficacy endpoints for patients with CP CML previously treated with both imatinib and at least 1 additional TKI were the cumulative rate of attaining MCyR by Week 24 and the duration of MCyR. The efficacy endpoints for patients with previously treated AP and BP CML were confirmed CHR and overall hematologic response (OHR). The study enrolled 546 patients with CP, AP or BP CML. Of the total patient population 73% were imatinib resistant and 27% were imatinib intolerant . In this trial, 53% of patients were males, 65% were Caucasian, and 20% were 65 years old or older . Of the 546 treated patients, 506 were considered evaluable for cytogenetic or hematologic efficacy assessment. Patients were evaluable for efficacy if they had received at least 1 dose of BOSULIF and had a valid baseline efficacy assessment. Among evaluable patients, there were 262 patients with CP CML previously treated with 1 prior TKI (imatinib), 112 patients with CP CML previously treated with both imatinib and at least 1 additional TKI, and 132 patients with advanced phase CML previously treated with at least 1 TKI. Median duration of BOSULIF treatment was 26 months in patients with CP CML previously treated with 1 TKI (imatinib), 9 months in patients with CP CML previously treated with imatinib and at least 1 additional TKI, 10 months in patients with AP CML previously treated with at least imatinib, and 3 months in patients with BP CML previously treated with at least imatinib. The 24 week efficacy and MCyR at any time results are summarized in Table 9. Table 9: Efficacy Results in Patients with Ph+ CP CML With Resistance to or Intolerance to Imatinib Prior Treatment With Imatinib Only (N=262 evaluable) n (%) Prior Treatment With Imatinib and Dasatinib or Nilotinib (N=112 evaluable) n (%) Abbreviations: CI=confidence interval; CML=chronic myelogenous leukemia; CP=chronic phase; MCyR=major cytogenetic response; N/n=number of patients; Ph+=Philadelphia chromosome positive.

For the 59.5% of patients with CP CML treated with 1 prior TKI (imatinib) who achieved a MCyR at any time, the median duration of MCyR was not reached. Among these patients, 65.4% and 42.9% had a MCyR lasting at least 18 and 54 months, respectively. For the 40.2% of patients with CP CML treated with imatinib and at least 1 additional TKI who achieved a MCyR at any time, the median duration of MCyR was not reached. Among these patients, 64.4% and 35.6% had a MCyR lasting at least 9 and 42 months, respectively. Of the 403 treated patients with CP CML, 20 patients had confirmed disease transformation to AP or BP while on treatment with BOSULIF. The 48 week efficacy results in patients with accelerated and blast phases CML previously treated with at least imatinib are summarized in Table 10.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use In the single-arm study in patients with CML who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy of BOSULIF in patients with Ph+ CML, 20% were age 65 and over, 4% were 75 and over. Of the 268 patients who received bosutinib in the study for newly diagnosed CML, 20% were age 65 and over, 5% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of BOSULIF in patients less than 18 years of age have not been established.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, BOSULIF can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies conducted in rats and rabbits, oral administration of bosutinib during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including structural abnormalities, embryo-fetal mortality, and alterations to growth at maternal exposures (AUC) as low as 1.2 times the human exposure at the dose of 500 mg/day ( 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 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 are 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In a rat fertility and early embryonic development study, bosutinib was administered orally to female rats for approximately 3 to 6 weeks, depending on day of mating (2 weeks prior to cohabitation with untreated breeder males until gestation day [GD] 7). Increased embryonic resorptions occurred at greater than or equal to 10 mg/kg/day of bosutinib (1.6 and 1.2 times the human exposure at the recommended doses of 400 or 500 mg/day, respectively), and decreased implantations and reduced number of viable embryos at 30 mg/kg/day of bosutinib (3.4 and 2.5 times the human exposure at the recommended doses of 400 or 500 mg/day, respectively). In an embryo-fetal development study conducted in rabbits, bosutinib was administered orally to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis at doses of 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg/day. At the maternally-toxic dose of 30 mg/kg/day of bosutinib, there were fetal anomalies (fused sternebrae, and 2 fetuses had various visceral observations), and an approximate 6% decrease in fetal body weight. The dose of 30 mg/kg/day resulted in exposures (AUC) approximately 5.1 and 3.8 times the human exposures at the recommended doses of 400 and 500 mg/day, respectively. Fetal exposure to bosutinib-derived radioactivity during pregnancy was demonstrated in a placental-transfer study in pregnant rats. In a rat pre- and postnatal development study, bosutinib was administered orally to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis through lactation day 20 at doses of 10, 30, and 70 mg/kg/day. Reduced number of pups born occurred at greater than or equal to 30 mg/kg/day bosutinib (3.4 and 2.5 times the human exposure at the recommended doses of 400 or 500 mg/day, respectively), and increased incidence of total litter loss and decreased growth of offspring after birth occurred at 70 mg/kg/day bosutinib (6.9 and 5.1 times the human exposure at the recommended doses of 400 or 500 mg/day, respectively).

    Use In Specific Populations

    8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, BOSULIF can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] . There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies conducted in rats and rabbits, oral administration of bosutinib during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including structural abnormalities, embryo-fetal mortality, and alterations to growth at maternal exposures (AUC) as low as 1.2 times the human exposure at the dose of 500 mg/day ( see Data ).

However, bosutinib is present in the milk of lactating rats. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a nursing child, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with BOSULIF and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose. Animal Data After a single radiolabeled bosutinib dose to lactating rats, radioactivity was present in the plasma of suckling offspring for 24 to 48 hours. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Based on findings from animal studies, BOSULIF can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Females of reproductive potential should have a pregnancy test prior to starting treatment with BOSULIF. Contraception Females Based on findings from animal studies, BOSULIF can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception (methods that result in less than 1% pregnancy rates) during treatment with BOSULIF and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose. Infertility The risk of infertility in females or males of reproductive potential has not been studied in humans. Based on findings from animal studies, BOSULIF may cause reduced fertility in females and males of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] . 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of BOSULIF in patients less than 18 years of age have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use In the single-arm study in patients with CML who were resistant or intolerant to prior therapy of BOSULIF in patients with Ph+ CML, 20% were age 65 and over, 4% were 75 and over. Of the 268 patients who received bosutinib in the study for newly diagnosed CML, 20% were age 65 and over, 5% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. 8.6 Renal Impairment Reduce the BOSULIF starting dose in patients with moderate (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 to 50 mL/min, estimated by Cockcroft-Gault (C-G)) and severe (CL cr less than 30 mL/min, C-G) renal impairment at baseline. For patients who have declining renal function while on BOSULIF who cannot tolerate the starting dose, follow dose adjustment recommendations for toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . BOSULIF has not been studied in patients undergoing hemodialysis. 8.7 Hepatic Impairment Reduce the BOSULIF dosage in patients with hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A, B, or C) [see Dosage and Administration (2.3 , 2.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
