10 OVERDOSAGE In case of overdose with tretinoin, reversible signs of hypervitaminosis A (headache, nausea, vomiting, mucocutaneous symptoms) can appear. Overdosage with other retinoids has been associated with transient headache, facial flushing, cheilosis, abdominal pain, dizziness and ataxia. These symptoms have quickly resolved without apparent residual effects. There is no specific treatment in the case of an overdose; however, it is important that the patient be treated in a special hematological unit.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Tretinoin induces cytodifferentiation and decreased proliferation of APL cells in culture and in vivo . In APL patients, tretinoin treatment produces an initial maturation of the primitive promyelocytes derived from the leukemic clone, followed by a repopulation of the bone marrow and peripheral blood by normal, polyclonal hematopoietic cells in patients achieving complete remission (CR). The exact mechanism of action of tretinoin in APL is unknown. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of tretinoin have not been characterized. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Following the administration of tretinoin 22.5 mg/m 2 orally twice daily, the mean ± SD peak tretinoin concentrations after the first dose was 394 ± 89 and after 1 week of continuous treatment was 138 ± 139 ng/mL, while area under the curve (AUC) after the first dose was 537 ± 191 ng·h/mL and after 1 week of continuous treatment was 249 ± 185 ng·h/mL. Absorption Time to reach peak concentration was between 1 and 2 hours. The absolute bioavailability of tretinoin was approximately 50%. Effect of Food The effect of food on the absorption of tretinoin has not been characterized. Food increases the absorption of retinoids, as a class. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution of tretinoin has not been determined. Protein binding is greater than 95%, predominately to albumin. Plasma protein binding remains constant over the concentration range of 10 to 500 ng/mL. Elimination The terminal elimination half-life of tretinoin following initial dosing is 0.5 to 2 hours in patients with APL. Metabolism Tretinoin induced its own metabolism with plasma concentrations after 1 week of continuous therapy decreased to one-third of their day 1 values. Tretinoin is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, CYP3A4, 2C8, and 2E and undergoes glucuronidation by UGT2B7. Metabolites include 9-cis retinoic acid, 13-cis retinoic acid, 4-oxo trans retinoic acid, 4-oxo cis retinoic acid, and 4-oxo trans retinoic acid glucuronide. The metabolites 4-oxo retinoic acid and 4-oxo trans retinoic acid glucuronide have one-third of the pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Excretion Following administration of radiolabeled tretinoin 2.75 mg and 50 mg (0.53 to 9.6 times the approved recommended dosage based on 1.7 m 2 ), approximately 63% of radioactivity was recovered in the urine within 72 hours and 31% appeared in the feces within 6 days. Specific Populations The effect of age, sex, race, renal impairment, and hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of tretinoin is unknown. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies Coadministration of ketoconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased tretinoin AUC by 72%. In Vitro Studies Effect of Tretinoin on Transporters: Tretinoin does not inhibit P-gp and BCRP in vitro .

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility No 2-year carcinogenicity studies in rodents have been conducted with tretinoin. In a carcinogenicity study, female B5D2F1 mice pretreated with a carcinogen diethylnitrosamine (DEN, intraperitoneal 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) received dietary supplement of all-trans-retinoic acid (tretinoin) for 12 months. Tretinoin at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day in the diet (about 2 times the human dose on a mg/m 2 basis) was shown to increase the rate of DEN-induced mouse hepatocellular carcinomas. Tretinoin in combination with 50 mg/kg of DEN also increased the incidence of hemangiomas and hemangiosarcomas. Tretinoin was negative when tested in the Ames and Chinese hamster V79 cell HGPRT assays for mutagenicity. A 2-fold increase in the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) has been demonstrated in human diploid fibroblasts, but other chromosome aberration assays, including an in vitro assay in human peripheral lymphocytes and an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay, did not show a clastogenic or aneuploidogenic effect. Adverse effects on fertility and reproductive performance were not observed in studies conducted in rats at doses up to 5 mg/kg/day (about 2/3 the human dose on a mg/m 2 basis). In a 6-week toxicology study in dogs, testicular degeneration, with increased numbers of immature spermatozoa, were observed at 10 mg/kg/day (about 4 times the equivalent human dose in mg/m 2 ).

14 CLINICAL STUDIES The efficacy of tretinoin has been evaluated in 114 previously treated patients and in 67 previously untreated (“de novo”) patients with APL in one open-label, uncontrolled single investigator clinical study (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center [MSKCC]) and in two cohorts of compassionate cases treated by multiple investigators under the auspices of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Patients received tretinoin 22.5 mg/m 2 orally twice daily for up to 90 days following the first dose or 30 days following achievement of complete remission. Efficacy results are shown Table 2. Table 2. Efficacy Results in a Controlled Clinical Trial (MSKCC) and Compassionate Use MSKCC NCI Cohort 1 NCI Cohort 2 Relapsed N = 20 De Novo n = 15 Relapsed* N = 48 De Novo n = 14 Relapsed n = 46 De Novo † n = 38 Complete Remission 16 (80%) 11 (73%) 24 (50%) 5 (36%) 24 (52%) 26 (68%) Median Survival (months) 10.8 NR 5.8 0.5 8.8 NR Median Follow-up (months) 9.9 42.9 5.6 1.2 8.0 13.1 NR = Not Reached NA = Not Available *Including 9 chemorefractory patients † Including 8 patients who received chemotherapy but failed to enter remission The median time to complete remission was between 40 and 50 days (range: 2 to 120 days). Most patients received cytotoxic chemotherapy during the remission phase. Ten of 15 pediatric cases achieved complete remission (8 of 10 males and 2 of 5 females).

8.5 Geriatric Use Across clinical studies of tretinoin, 21% were 60 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

8.2 Lactation There are no data on the presence of tretinoin in human milk, the effects on the breastfeed child or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from tretinoin in breastfed infants, advise women not to breastfed during treatment with tretinoin capsules and for 1 week after the last dose.

8.3 Use in Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Tretinoin can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating tretinoin. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 1 week prior to initiating tretinoin with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to abstain continuously from sexual intercourse or to use two effective methods of contraception. Counsel patients to use two effective methods of contraception during treatment with tretinoin capsules and for 1 month after the last dose. Two methods of effective contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy. Refer females of reproductive potential to a qualified provider of contraceptive methods, if needed. Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and after treatment with tretinoin capsules and for 1 week after the last dose. Infertility Males Based on testicular toxicities observed in dogs, tretinoin may impair male fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . The reversibility of effect on fertility is unknown.

8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of tretinoin has been established in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older and the information on this use is discussed throughout the labeling. The maximum tolerated dose is lower in pediatric patients compared to adults. Some pediatric patients experience severe headache and intracranial hypertension, which required management with an analgesic and a lumbar puncture. Dose reduction may be considered for pediatric patients experiencing serious and/or intolerable adverse reactions. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age have not been established.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , tretinoin can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman. Tretinoin is a retinoid and there is an increased risk of major congenital malformations, spontaneous abortions and premature births following exposure to retinoids during pregnancy in humans. Tretinoin was teratogenic and embryotoxic in mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits and pigtail monkeys at doses less than the human dose on a mg/m 2 basis (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(s) 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% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Human Data Tretinoin is a retinoid and increased spontaneous abortions and major fetal abnormalities related to the use of retinoids have been documented in humans. Reported malformations include abnormalities of the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system, external ear, eye, thymus and great vessels; and facial dysmorphia, cleft palate, and parathyroid hormone deficiency. Some of these abnormalities were fatal. IQ scores less than 85, with or without obvious CNS abnormalities, have been reported in pediatrics exposed to retinoids in utero . Animal Data Tretinoin causes fetal resorptions and a decrease in live fetuses in all animals studied. Gross external, soft tissue and skeletal alterations occurred at doses higher than 0.7 mg/kg/day in mice, 2 mg/kg/day in rats, 7 mg/kg/day in hamsters, and at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day, the only dose tested, in pigtail monkeys (about 1/20, 1/4, and 1/2 and 4 times the human dose, respectively, on a mg/m 2 basis).

Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions from tretinoin in breastfed infants, advise women not to breastfed during treatment with tretinoin capsules and for 1 week after the last dose. 8.3 Use in Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Tretinoin can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating tretinoin. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 1 week prior to initiating tretinoin with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to abstain continuously from sexual intercourse or to use two effective methods of contraception. Counsel patients to use two effective methods of contraception during treatment with tretinoin capsules and for 1 month after the last dose. Two methods of effective contraception is indicated even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy. Refer females of reproductive potential to a qualified provider of contraceptive methods, if needed. Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and after treatment with tretinoin capsules and for 1 week after the last dose. Infertility Males Based on testicular toxicities observed in dogs, tretinoin may impair male fertility [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . The reversibility of effect on fertility is unknown. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of tretinoin has been established in pediatric patients 1 year of age and older and the information on this use is discussed throughout the labeling. The maximum tolerated dose is lower in pediatric patients compared to adults. Some pediatric patients experience severe headache and intracranial hypertension, which required management with an analgesic and a lumbar puncture. Dose reduction may be considered for pediatric patients experiencing serious and/or intolerable adverse reactions. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Across clinical studies of tretinoin, 21% were 60 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY and DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME Tretinoin can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test before initiating tretinoin. Advise females of reproductive potential to use two effective methods of contraception during treatment with tretinoin and for 1 month after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with tretinoin and for 1 week after the last dose [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )] . Differentiation Syndrome, which can be life-threatening or fatal, occurred in about 26% of patients with APL who received tretinoin. At first signs or symptoms of this syndrome, immediately initiate high-dose corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until resolution of signs and symptoms. Consider withholding tretinoin for moderate and severe Differentiation Syndrome until resolution [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY and DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning . Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Tretinoin can cause embryo-fetal loss and malformations when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test before initiating tretinoin. Advise females of reproductive potential to use two effective methods of contraception during treatment with tretinoin and for 1 month after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with tretinoin and for 1 week after the last dose. ( 5.1 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) Differentiation Syndrome, which can be life-threatening or fatal, occurred in about 26% of patients with APL who received tretinoin. At first signs or symptoms of this syndrome, immediately initiate high-dose corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until resolution of signs and symptoms. Consider withholding tretinoin for moderate and severe Differentiation Syndrome until resolution. ( 5.2 )
