DAURISMO™
(glasdegib) Tablets, for Oral Use

DESCRIPTION

DAURISMO (glasdegib) is a potent small molecule inhibitor of Smoothened (SMO) for oral use. It is formulated with the maleate salt of glasdegib. The molecular formula for glasdegib maleate is C25H26N6O5. The molecular weight for glasdegib maleate is 490.51 Daltons. The chemical name of glasdegib maleate is 1-((2R,4R)-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-3-(4-cyanophenyl)urea maleate. The molecular structure is shown below:

Glasdegib maleate is a white to pale colored powder with pKa values of 1.7 and 6.1. The aqueous solubility of glasdegib maleate is 1.7 mg/mL.

DAURISMO (glasdegib) is supplied as a film-coated tablet for oral use containing either 100 mg glasdegib (equivalent to 131.1 mg glasdegib maleate) or 25 mg of glasdegib (equivalent to 32.8 mg glasdegib maleate) together with microcrystalline cellulose, dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous, sodium starch glycolate, and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients in the tablet. The film-coating consists of Opadry II® Beige (33G170003) and Opadry II® Yellow (33G120011) containing: hypromellose, titanium dioxide, lactose monohydrate, macrogol, triacetin, iron oxide yellow, and iron oxide red.

INDICATIONS

DAURISMO is indicated, in combination with low-dose cytarabine, for the treatment of newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adult patients who are ≥75 years old or who have comorbidities that preclude use of intensive induction chemotherapy.

Limitation Of Use

DAURISMO has not been studied in patients with the comorbidities of severe renal impairment or moderate-to-severe hepatic impairment.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Recommended Dose And Schedule

The recommended dose of DAURISMO is 100 mg orally once daily on days 1 to 28 in combination with cytarabine 20 mg subcutaneously twice daily on days 1 to 10 of each 28-day cycle in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or loss of disease control. For patients without unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 cycles to allow time for clinical response.

Administer DAURISMO with or without food. Do not split or crush DAURISMO tablets. Administer DAURISMO about the same time each day. If a dose of DAURISMO is vomited, do not administer a replacement dose; wait until the next scheduled dose is due. If a dose of DAURISMO is missed or not taken at the usual time, administer the dose as soon as possible and at least 12 hours prior to the next scheduled dose. Return to the normal schedule the following day. Do not administer 2 doses of DAURISMO within 12 hours.

Monitoring And Dose Modifications

Assess complete blood counts, electrolytes, renal, and hepatic function prior to the initiation of DAURISMO and at least once weekly for the first month. Monitor electrolytes and renal function once monthly for the duration of therapy. Obtain serum creatine kinase levels prior to initiating DAURISMO and as indicated clinically thereafter (e.g., if muscle symptoms are reported). Monitor electrocardiograms (ECGs) prior to the initiation of DAURISMO, approximately one week after initiation, and then once monthly for the next two months to assess for QTc prolongation. Repeat ECG if abnormal. Certain patients may require more frequent and ongoing ECG monitoring [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. Manage any abnormalities promptly [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].

See Table 1 for dose modification guidelines for patients who develop an adverse reaction.

Table 1. Recommended Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions

Adverse Reaction	Recommended Action
QTc interval prolongation on at least 2 separate electrocardiograms (ECGs)	QTc interval greater than 480 ms to 500 ms	Assess electrolyte levels and supplement as clinically indicated. Review and adjust concomitant medications with known QTc interval-prolonging effects [see DRUG INTERACTIONS]. Monitor ECGs at least weekly for 2 weeks following resolution of QTc prolongation to less than or equal to 480 ms.
	QTc interval greater than 500 ms	Assess electrolyte levels and supplement as clinically indicated. Review and adjust concomitant medications with known QTc interval-prolonging effects [see DRUG INTERACTIONS]. Interrupt DAURISMO. Resume DAURISMO at a reduced dose of 50 mg once daily when QTc interval returns to within 30 ms of baseline or less than or equal to 480 ms. Monitor ECGs at least weekly for 2 weeks following resolution of QTc prolongation. Consider re-escalating the dose of DAURISMO to 100 mg daily if an alternative etiology for the QTc prolongation can be identified.

SIDE EFFECTS

The following clinically significant adverse reaction is described elsewhere in the labeling:

• QT Interval Prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]

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.

The safety profile of DAURISMO is based on experience in the BRIGHT AML 1003 study for 111 adults with newly-diagnosed AML and 14 adults with other conditions for which DAURISMO is not indicated [see Clinical Studies]. Patients were treated with DAURISMO 100 mg daily in combination with low-dose cytarabine (N=84) or low-dose cytarabine alone (N=41). The median duration of treatment in the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm was 83 days (range 3 to 972 days), and the median duration of treatment in the low-dose cytarabine alone arm was 47 days (range 6 to 239 days). The median exposure to DAURISMO in the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm was 76 days (range 3 to 954 days). Thirty-two patients (38%) were treated with DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine for at least 6 months and 14 patients (17%) were treated for at least 1 year.

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 79% of patients treated in the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm. The most common (≥5%) serious adverse reactions in patients receiving DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine were febrile neutropenia (29%), pneumonia (23%), hemorrhage (12%), anemia (7%), and sepsis (7%).

Dose reductions associated with adverse reactions were reported in 26% of patients treated with DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine, and the most common reasons (≥2%) for dose reductions due to adverse reactions were muscle spasms (5%), fatigue (4%), febrile neutropenia (4%), anemia (2%), thrombocytopenia (2%), and ECG QT prolonged (2%). Adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were reported in 36% of patients treated with DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine, and the most common (≥2%) reasons for permanent discontinuation were pneumonia (6%), febrile neutropenia (4%), sepsis (4%), sudden death (2%), myocardial infarction (2%), nausea (2%), and renal insufficiency (2%).

Adverse reactions reported in the first 90 days of therapy on the BRIGHT AML 1003 study are shown in Table 2.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Table 4. Drug Interactions with DAURISMO

Strong CYP3A Inhibitors
Clinical Impact	Co-administration of DAURISMO with strong CYP3A inhibitors increased glasdegib plasma concentrations [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Increased glasdegib concentrations may increase the risk of adverse reactions including QTc interval prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Prevention or Management	Consider alternative therapies that are not strong CYP3A4 inhibitors during treatment with DAURISMO. Monitor patients for increased risk of adverse reactions including QTc interval prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Strong CYP3A Inducers
Clinical Impact	Co-administration of DAURISMO with strong CYP3A inducers decreased glasdegib plasma concentrations [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Prevention or Management	Avoid co-administration of DAURISMO with strong CYP3A4 inducers.
QTc Prolonging Drugs
Clinical Impact	Co-administration of DAURISMO with QTc prolonging drugs may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Prevention or Management	Avoid co-administration of QTc prolonging drugs with DAURISMO or replace with alternative therapies. If co-administration of a QTc prolonging drug is unavoidable, monitor patients for increased risk of QTc interval prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

WARNINGS

Included as part of the "PRECAUTIONS" Section

PRECAUTIONS

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, DAURISMO can cause embryo-fetal death or severe birth defects when administered to a pregnant woman.

There are no clinical data on the use of DAURISMO in pregnant women. In animal embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, glasdegib caused embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity and teratogenicity at maternal exposures that were less than the human exposure at the recommended human dose of 100 mg [see Use In Specific Populations , CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus.

Females Of Reproductive Potential

DAURISMO is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Conduct pregnancy testing in female patients of reproductive potential prior to initiating DAURISMO treatment. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose. Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].

Males

Advise male patients with female partners of the potential risk of exposure through semen and to use effective contraception, including a condom, even after vasectomy, to avoid drug exposure to a pregnant partner or a female partner of reproductive potential during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].

Blood Donation

Advise patients not to donate blood or blood products while taking DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose of DAURISMO because their blood or blood products might be given to a female of reproductive potential.

QTc Interval Prolongation

Patients treated with DAURISMO can develop QTc prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Of the 98 evaluable patients treated with DAURISMO 100 mg in combination with low-dose cytarabine in the clinical trial, 5% were found to have a QTc interval greater than 500 ms and 4% of patients had an increase from baseline QTc greater than 60 ms. The clinical trial excluded patients with baseline QTc of greater than 470 ms or with a history of long QT syndrome or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease.

Monitor electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electrolytes [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. Concomitant use of DAURISMO with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval and CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation [see DRUG INTERACTIONS , CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. In patients with congenital long QT syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval, more frequent ECG monitoring is recommended.

Interrupt DAURISMO if QTc increases to greater than 500 ms. Discontinue DAURISMO permanently for patients who develop QTc interval prolongation with signs or symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].

Patient Counseling Information

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).

Advise patients of the risks of DAURISMO treatment:

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

• Advise female patients of the potential risk to a fetus and to inform their healthcare provider of a known or suspected pregnancy. Advise female patients and female partners of male patients to contact their healthcare provider with a known or suspected pregnancy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS , Use In Specific Populations].

Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential

• Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose.
• Advise males of the potential risk of exposure through semen and to use effective contraception, including a condom, even after a vasectomy, to avoid drug exposure to a pregnant partner or a female partner of reproductive potential during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose [see Use In Specific Populations].

Semen Donation

• Advise males not to donate semen during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose of DAURISMO[see Use In Specific Populations].

Lactation

• Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose of DAURISMO [see Use In Specific Populations].

Blood Donation

• Advise patients not to donate blood or blood products during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose of DAURISMO [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Infertility

• Advise males of reproductive potential of the potential for impaired fertility from DAURISMO. Advise male patients to seek advice on effective fertility preservation before treatment [see Use In Specific Populations , Nonclinical Toxicology].

QT Interval Prolongation

• Inform patients of signs and symptoms that may be indicative of significant QT interval prolongation. Advise patients to contact their healthcare provider immediately in the event of syncope, pre-syncopal symptoms, and cardiac palpitations [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been performed with glasdegib.

Glasdegib was not mutagenic in vitro in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and was not clastogenic in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human lymphocytes. Glasdegib was not clastogenic or aneugenic in the rat micronucleus assay.

Based on nonclinical safety findings, glasdegib has the potential to impair reproductive function in males. Men should seek advice on effective fertility preservation before treatment. In repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats, findings observed in the male reproductive tract included adverse testicular changes with glasdegib at doses ≥50 mg/kg/day, and consisted of minimal to severe hypospermatogenesis characterized by partial to complete loss of spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids and testicular degeneration. Hypospermatogenesis did not recover whereas testicular degeneration did recover. The dose at which testicular effects were observed in male rats was identified as 50 mg/kg/day with corresponding systemic exposures that were approximately 6.6-times (based on AUC) those associated with the observed human exposure at the 100 mg once daily dose.

Use In Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animal embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, DAURISMO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. There are no clinical data on the use of DAURISMO in pregnant women to inform of a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. DAURISMO is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Conduct pregnancy testing in female patients of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment with DAURISMO. Report pregnancy exposures to Pfizer at 1-800-438-1985.

In animal embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, repeat-dose oral administration of DAURISMO during organogenesis at maternal exposures that were less than the human exposure at the recommended dose resulted in embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity and teratogenicity in rats and rabbits (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 are unknown. Adverse outcomes in pregnancy occur regardless of the health of the mother or the use of medications. 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

Animal Data

In embryo-fetal developmental toxicity studies, glasdegib was orally administered to pregnant rats and rabbits at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Glasdegib resulted in embryo-fetal lethality (e.g., increased postimplantation loss and decreased numbers of live fetuses) in rats and rabbits at 50 mg/kg/day and 5 mg/kg/day, respectively, at maternal exposures approximately 4-times and 3-times the human exposure at the recommended dose [based on Cmax (rat) and AUC (rabbit)]. Doses of ≥ 10 mg/kg in rat [approximately 0.6-times the human exposure (Cmax) at the recommended dose] and ≥ 5 mg/kg in rabbit resulted in fetal developmental abnormalities and malformations consisting of craniofacial malformations, malformed limbs, paws/digits, trunk and tail, dilation of brain, malpositioned/malformed eyes, misshapen head, small tongue, absent palate, teeth and viscera, diaphragmatic hernia, edema, heart defects, rib and vertebral abnormalities, malformed or absent structures in the appendicular skeleton.

Lactation

Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of glasdegib or its active metabolites in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed child, or its effect on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child from DAURISMO, advise women who are taking DAURISMO not to breastfeed or provide breast milk to infants or children during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose.

Females And Males Of Reproductive Potential

DAURISMO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Pregnancy].

Pregnancy Testing

Conduct pregnancy testing in females of reproductive potential within 7 days prior to initiating therapy with DAURISMO.

Contraception

Females

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DAURISMO and at least 30 days after the last dose.

Males

It is not known if glasdegib is present in semen. Advise males of the potential risk of exposure through semen and to use effective contraception, including a condom, even after a vasectomy, to avoid drug exposure to a pregnant partner or a female partner of reproductive potential during treatment with DAURISMO and for at least 30 days after the last dose. Advise males to not donate semen during treatment with DAURISMO for at least 30 days after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology].

Infertility

Males

Based on findings in repeat-dose animal toxicity studies in rats, DAURISMO may impair fertility in males of reproductive potential. Some effects on male reproductive organs did not recover [see Nonclinical Toxicology]. Men should seek advice on effective fertility preservation before treatment.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of DAURISMO have not been established in pediatric patients. In repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats, oral administration of DAURISMO resulted in adverse changes in growing bone, teeth, and testis. Effects on bone consisted of partial to complete closure of the epiphyseal plate. Effects in growing incisor teeth included degeneration/necrosis of ameloblasts, and complete tooth loss with oral ulceration. Reproductive tissue toxicity was evidenced by testicular degeneration and hypospermatogenesis. These effects in bone, teeth and testis were observed after administration of DAURISMO for 26 weeks at greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg/day corresponding to approximately 6.6-times the steady state AUC in patients at the recommended human dose.

Geriatric Use

Of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine (N=88), 98% of the patients were age 65 years or older and 60% of the patients were age 75 years or older. There were insufficient patients younger than age 65 years to determine differences in adverse reactions reported from patients older than 65.

OVERDOSE

There is no specific antidote for DAURISMO. Management of DAURISMO overdose should include symptomatic treatment and ECG monitoring.

Glasdegib has been administered in clinical studies up to a dose of 640 mg/day. At the highest dosage the adverse events reported were nausea, vomiting, dehydration, fatigue and dizziness.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

None.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Mechanism Of Action

Glasdegib is an inhibitor of the Hedgehog pathway. Glasdegib binds to and inhibits Smoothened, a transmembrane protein involved in hedgehog signal transduction.

In a murine xenotransplant model of human AML, glasdegib in combination with low-dose cytarabine, inhibited increases in tumor size and reduced the percentage of CD45+/CD33+ blasts in the marrow to a greater extent than glasdegib or low-dose cytarabine alone.

Pharmacodynamics

Cardiac Electrophysiology

The effect of glasdegib administration on corrected QT interval (QTc) was evaluated in a randomized, single-dose, double-blind, 4-way crossover, placebo- and open-label moxifloxacin-controlled study in 36 healthy subjects. At therapeutic plasma concentrations for the recommended dose, achieved with a single dose of 150 mg DAURISMO, the largest placebo and baseline-adjusted QTc interval change was 8 ms (90% CI: 6, 10 ms). At a two-fold therapeutic plasma concentration, achieved with a single dose of 300 mg DAURISMO, the QTc change was 13 ms (90% CI: 11, 16 ms). Glasdegib is associated with concentration-dependent QTc prolongation.

Pharmacokinetics

DAURISMO at 5 mg to 600 mg once daily (0.05 to 6 times the recommended dose) result in a dose proportional increase in glasdegib peak concentrations (Cmax) and area under the curve over the dosing interval (AUCtau). Steady-state plasma levels are reached by 8 days of daily dosing. The median accumulation ratio of glasdegib ranged from 1.2 to 2.5 following once-daily dosing.

At DAURISMO 100 mg once daily, the geometric mean (geometric coefficient of variation, % CV) of glasdegib Cmax was 1252 ng/mL (44%) and AUCtau was 17210 ng*hr/mL (54%) in patients with cancer.

Absorption

The mean absolute bioavailability of DAURISMO is 77%. Following 100 mg once daily dosing, glasdegib median time to peak concentrations (Tmax) at steady-state ranged from 1.3 hours to 1.8 hours.

Effect of Food

A high-fat, high-calorie meal (total 800-1000 calories: 500-600 fat calories, 250 carbohydrate calories and 150 protein calories) reduced area under the curve over time to infinity (AUCinf) by 16% and Cmax by 31%.

Distribution

Glasdegib is 91% bound to human plasma proteins in vitro. The geometric mean (%CV) apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) was 188 L (20%) in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Elimination

Glasdegib has a mean (± SD) half-life of 17.4 h (3.7) and geometric mean (%CV) apparent clearance of 6.45 L/h (25%) following 100 mg once daily dosing in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Metabolism

Glasdegib is primarily metabolized by the CYP3A4 pathway, with minor contributions by CYP2C8 and UGT1A9. Glasdegib accounts for 69% of the total circulating drug related material in plasma.

Excretion

Following a single oral dose of 100 mg radiolabeled glasdegib, 49% (17% unchanged) of the administered dose was eliminated in the urine and 42% (20% unchanged) of the administered dose was eliminated in the feces.

Age (25 to 92 years), sex, race (White, Black, Asian), body weight (43.5 to 145.6 kg), mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ ULN and AST > ULN, or total bilirubin 1-1.5 x ULN and any AST) or mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30-89 mL/min) did not have clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of glasdegib. The effect of moderate (total bilirubin 1.5-3 x ULN and any AST) and severe (total bilirubin > 3 x ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment or severe renal impairment (CLcr 15-29 mL/min) on glasdegib pharmacokinetics is unknown.

Drug Interaction Studies

Clinical Studies

Effect of Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors on Glasdegib:

Coadminstration of ketoconazole (a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4) with DAURISMO increased the glasdegib AUCinf by 2.4-fold and Cmax by 1.4-fold over glasdegib given alone [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].

Effect of Strong CYP3A4 Inducers on Glasdegib:

Coadminstration of rifampin (a strong inducer of CYP3A4) with DAURISMO decreased glasdegib AUCinf by 70% and Cmax by 35% [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].

Effect of Gastric Acid Reducing Agents on Glasdegib:

Coadministration of rabeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) with DAURISMO did not alter glasdegib AUCinf but decreased Cmax by 20%.

In Vitro Studies

Effect of Glasdegib on Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Substrates:

Glasdegib does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A, and does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A in vitro.

Effect of Transporters on Glasdegib:

Glasdegib is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).

Effect of Glasdegib on Transporters:

Glasdegib inhibits P-gp, BCRP, multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) protein 1, and MATE-2K, but not organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, organic anion transporter (OAT)1, OAT3, and organic cation transporter (OCT)2 in vitro.

Clinical Studies

The efficacy of DAURISMO in combination with low-dose cytarabine was evaluated in a multicenter, open-label, randomized study (Study BRIGHT AML 1003, NCT01546038) that included 115 patients age 55 years or older with newly-diagnosed AML who met at least one of the following criteria: a) age ≥ 75 years, b) severe cardiac disease, c) baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2, or d) baseline serum creatinine >1.3 mg/dL. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive DAURISMO at a 100 mg daily dose with low-dose cytarabine 20 mg subcutaneously twice daily on days 1 to 10 of a 28-day cycle (N=77) or low-dose cytarabine alone (N=38) in 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients were stratified by cytogenetic risk (good/intermediate or poor).

The baseline demographic and disease characteristics are shown in Table 5. The two treatment arms were generally balanced with respect to the baseline demographics and disease characteristics (see Table 5).

Efficacy was established on the basis of overall survival (OS) from the date of randomization to death from any cause. With a median follow-up of approximately 20 months, the DAURISMO with low-dose cytarabine arm was superior to low-dose cytarabine alone arm (Figure 1). The efficacy results are shown in Table 6. Improvement in OS was consistent across prespecified cytogenetic risk subgroups.
