            Contraindications

            Long QT syndrome

            Uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia

            Cautions

            Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia may occur; perform complete blood cell counts (CBC) every 2 weeks for first 2 months and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated; myelosuppression was generally reversible and usually managed by withholding drug temporarily or dose reduction

            Sudden deaths reported; ventricular repolarization abnormalities may have contributed to their occurrence; evaluate cardiovascular status and monitor/manage cardiovascular risk factors during therapy

            QT interval reported; significant prolongation of the QT interval may occur when drug is inappropriately taken with food; avoid taking with food; prolongation of the QT interval can result in torsade de pointes, which may result in syncope, seizure, and/or death

            May cause hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hyponatremia; correct hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia before administration; monitor periodically during therapy

            Cardiovascular events (eg, ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, ischemic cerebrovascular events) reported in patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ CML; evaluate cardiovascular status, monitor cardiovascular risk factors, and manage during therapy

            Use caution in history of pancreatitis; monitor serum lipase monthly or as clinically indicated; in case lipase elevations are accompanied by abdominal symptoms, interrupt doses and consider appropriate diagnostics to exclude pancreatitis

            Use caution in hepatic impairment; monitor hepatic function tests (HFTs) monthly or as clinically indicated; reduce dose and monitor QT interval

            May result in elevations in bilirubin, AST/ALT, and alkaline phosphatase; Grade 3-4 elevations of bilirubin, AST, and ALT were reported at higher frequency in pediatric than in adult patients; monitor HFTs monthly or as clinically indicated

            Tumor lysis syndrome cases reported in patients with resistant or intolerant CML; maintain adequate hydration and correct uric acid levels prior to initiating therapy

            Total gastrectomy may reduce nilotinib systemic exposure; perform more frequent follow-up of these patients; if necessary, consider dose increase or alternative therapy

            Hemorrhage from any site may occur; advise patients to report signs and symptoms of bleeding and medically manage as needed

            Monitor for signs of severe fluid retention (eg, unexpected rapid weight gain, swelling) and for symptoms of respiratory or cardiac compromise (eg, shortness of breath) during treatment; evaluate etiology and treat patients accordingly

            May cause fetal harm

            Growth retardation reported in pediatric patients with Ph+ CML-CP; growth deceleration was more pronounced in children aged <12 years at baseline; monitor growth and development in pediatric patients

            Monitoring BCR-ABL transcript levels

            • Monitoring transcript levels in patients who discontinued therapy

            Drugs that prolong QT interval
            • Avoid coadministration
            • Coadministration with drugs that prolong QT interval may potentiate the QT-prolonging effects of nilotinib

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            No available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk; in animal reproduction studies, administration of nilotinib to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes including embryo-fetal lethality, fetal effects, and fetal variations in rats and rabbits at maternal exposures (AUC) approximately 2 and 0.5 times, respectively, exposures in patients at recommended dose; advise pregnant women of potential risk to fetus

            Pregnancy test

            • Females of reproductive potential should have a pregnancy test prior to starting treatment

            Contraception

            • Based on animal studies, drug can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman; advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with drug and for at least 14 days after the last dose

            Infertility

            • The risk of infertility in females or males of reproductive potential has not been studied in humans; in studies in rats and rabbits, the fertility in males and females was not affected

            Lactation

            No data are available regarding the presence of nilotinib or its metabolites in human milk or its effects on a breastfed child or on milk production

            However, nilotinib is present in the milk of lactating rats

            Owing to the potential for serious adverse reactions in a nursing child, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment and for at least 14 days after the last dose

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            Pharmacogenomics

            Confirmed BCR-ABL transcripts

            • Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inhibit activity of BCR-ABL fusion protein, resulting in both hematologic response (ie, normal cell counts in the peripheral blood and normal bone marrow morphology), as well as cytogenetic response (ie, disappearance or reduction of the Philadelphia [Ph] chromosome)
            • NCCN clinical practice guidelines recommends TKIs in CML with confirmed BCR-ABL transcripts in bone marrow or evidence of translocation on cytogenetics

            UGT1A1 and increased bilirubin

            • Polymorphisms of UGT1A1 and its potential association with hyperbilirubinemia during nilotinib treatment have been studied
            • The (TA)7/(TA)7 genotype was associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk of hyperbilirubinemia relative to the (TA)6/(TA)6 and (TA)6/(TA)7 genotypes
            • However, the largest increases in bilirubin were observed in the (TA)7/(TA)7 genotype (UGT1A1*28) patients during nilotinib treatment

            NILOTINIB - ORAL

            (nye-LOE-ti-nib)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Danziten, Tasigna

            WARNING: This drug can rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) irregular heartbeats (QT prolongation). Nilotinib should not be used in people with low blood levels of certain minerals (potassium, magnesium) or a certain heart problem (long QT syndrome). To lower your risk, your doctor will order certain blood tests (potassium/magnesium levels, liver function tests) before and during treatment with nilotinib. You should have a heart test (EKG) before starting nilotinib. The EKG should be repeated 7 days after your first dose, when your dose is changed, and periodically while you are taking nilotinib.Nilotinib may come in different forms (such as tablet, capsule). Do not switch between different forms without consulting your doctor.If you are taking the capsule form of this medication, do not eat for 2 hours before or 1 hour after taking your dose. Other drugs/foods may increase the risk of an irregular heartbeat. Before taking this drug, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist. See also How to Use and Drug Interactions sections.

            USES: Nilotinib is used to treat a certain type of blood cancer (chronic myelogenous leukemia-CML). It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells.

            HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using nilotinib and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily (about 12 hours apart). If you are taking the tablet form of this medication, it may be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water.

If you are also taking an H2 blocker (such as cimetidine, famotidine), take it 10 hours before or 2 hours after nilotinib.The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, lab tests, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). Children's dosage is also based on body size.Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and the risk of serious side effects may be increased.Since this drug can be absorbed through the skin and lungs, women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle this medication or breathe the dust from the contents of the capsules.

            SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section.Nausea, vomiting, headache, tiredness, constipation, and diarrhea may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.People using this medication may have serious side effects. However, you have been prescribed this drug because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Careful monitoring by your doctor may decrease your risk.This medication decreases bone marrow function, an effect that may lead to a low number of blood cells such as red cells, white cells, and platelets. This effect can cause anemia, decrease your body's ability to fight an infection, or cause easy bruising/bleeding. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of the following serious symptoms: severe tiredness, pale skin, signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever, chills), easy bruising/bleeding (such as bloody/black stool, bloody/pink urine).Nilotinib sometimes causes side effects due to the rapid destruction of cancer cells (tumor lysis syndrome). To lower your risk, your doctor may add a medication and tell you to drink plenty of fluids. Tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as: low back/side pain (flank pain), signs of kidney problems (such as painful urination, change in the amount of urine), muscle spasms/weakness.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: severe stomach/abdominal pain, toe/joint pain, swelling hands/ankles/feet, unusual/rapid weight gain, symptoms of high blood sugar (such as increased thirst/urination), signs of liver disease (such as nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine).Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: fast/pounding/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, fainting, seizures, signs of a heart attack (such as chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating), signs of a stroke (such as weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking, sudden vision changes, confusion), signs of bleeding in the brain (such as sudden severe headache, sudden vision changes, confusion, loss of consciousness), signs of blood circulation disease (such as numbness/pain in the legs, leg pain with physical activity, decrease in walking distance).A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects.

            PRECAUTIONS: Before taking nilotinib, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, pancreatitis, heart disease (such as coronary artery disease, chest pain, heart attack), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, stroke (including "mini-strokes" or transient ischemic attacks), blood circulation disease (peripheral arterial disease), blood vessel disease (hardening of the arteries/atherosclerosis), stomach surgery (such as gastrectomy), lactose/galactose intolerance.Nilotinib may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using nilotinib, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using nilotinib safely.Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Nilotinib can make you more likely to get infections or may make current infections worse. Stay away from anyone who has an infection that may easily spread (such as chickenpox, COVID-19, measles, flu). Talk to your doctor if you have been exposed to an infection or for more details.Tell your health care professional that you are using nilotinib before having any immunizations/vaccinations. Avoid contact with people who have recently received live vaccines (such as flu vaccine inhaled through the nose).To lower the chance of getting cut, bruised, or injured, use caution with sharp objects like razors and nail cutters, and avoid activities such as contact sports.Children may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially liver disease, and slowed growth and development. Consult the doctor or pharmacist for more details. See the doctor regularly so your child's liver function, height, weight, and development can be checked.Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially QT prolongation (see above).Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
