WHAT XOSPATA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT XOSPATA IS
Xospata belongs to a class of cancer medicines called protein kinase
inihibitors. It contains the active
substance gilteritinib.
WHAT XOSPATA IS USED FOR
Xospata is used to treat adults with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a
cancer of certain white blood
cells. Xospata is used if AML is linked to an alteration of a gene
called FLT3, and is given to patients
whose disease has come back or has not improved after previous
treatment.
HOW XOSPATA WORKS
In AML, patients develop large numbers of abnormal white blood cells.
Gilteritinib blocks the action
of certain enzymes (kinases) needed for the abnormal cells to multiply
and grow, thus preventing the
growth of the cancer.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment with Xospata should be initiated and supervised by a
physician experienced in the use of
anti-cancer therapies.
Before taking gilteritinib, relapsed or refractory AML patients must
have confirmation of FMS-like
tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutation (internal tandem duplication [ITD]
or tyrosine kinase domain
[TKD]) using a validated test.
Xospata may be re-initiated in patients following haematopoietic stem
cell transplantation (HSCT)
(see Table 1).
Posology
The recommended starting dose is 120 mg gilteritinib (three 40 mg
tablets) once daily.
Blood chemistries, including creatine phosphokinase, should be
assessed prior to initiation of
treatment, on day 15 and monthly for the duration of treatment.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) should be performed before initiation of
gilteritinib treatment, on day 8
and 15 of cycle 1 and prior to the start of the next three subsequent
months of treatment (see sections
4.4 and 4.8).
Treatment should continue until the patient is no longer clinically
benefiting from Xospata or until
unacceptable toxicity occurs. Response may be delaye
