BOSULIF is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of • adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with chronic phase Ph+ chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), newly-diagnosed or resistant or intolerant to prior therapy. ( 1 ) • adult patients with accelerated, or blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. ( 1 )

Dosage & Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Adult patients with newly-diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML: 400 mg orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 ) • Adult patients with chronic, accelerated, or blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy: 500 mg orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 ) • Pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed chronic phase Ph+ CML: 300 mg/m 2 orally once daily with food. ( 2.1 ) • Pediatric patients with chronic phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy: 400 mg/m 2 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 adult patients who do not reach complete hematologic, cytogenetic, or molecular response and do not have Grade 3 or greater adverse reactions. ( 2.2 ) • Consider dose escalation by increments of 50 mg for those with a BSA <1.1 m 2 and 100 mg for those with a BSA ≥1.1 m 2 to a maximum of 600 mg daily in pediatric patients who do not reach sufficient response after 3 months. ( 2.2 ) • Adjust dosage for toxicity and organ impairment ( 2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage is taken orally once daily with food. Swallow tablets whole. Do not c

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 Avoid the concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors with BOSULIF. Bosutinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases bosutinib C max and AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] which may increase the risk of toxicities. Strong CYP3A Inducers Avoid the concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers with BOSULIF. Bosutinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases bosutinib C max and AUC [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] which may reduce BOSULIF efficacy. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) As an alternative to PPIs, use short-acting antacids or H2 blockers and separate dosing by more than 2 hours from BOSULIF dosing. Bosutinib displays pH dependent aqueous solubility, Concomitant use with a PPI decreases bosutinib C max and AUC [see Clinica
