Description

Bosutinib is a kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of adult patients with:

  • Newly-diagnosed chronic phase (CP) Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
  • Chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP), or blast phase (BP) Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) with resistance or intolerant to previous therapy.

Dosage and Side Effects

The recommended dose of Bosutinib tablets is taken by mouth (orally) once daily with food. The tablet is to be swallowed as a whole and should not be either broken or cut. Continue treatment with this medicine (Bosutinib) until the disease is progressive or intolerant to therapy.

  • Newly-Diagnosed CP Ph+ CML: The recommended dose of Bosutinib is 400 mg taken orally once daily with food.
  • CP, AP, or BP Ph+ CML with Resistance or Intolerance to Prior Therapy: The recommended dose and schedule of Bosutinib is 500 mg taken orally once daily with food.

If a dose of Bosutinib is missed/skipped beyond 12 hours, the patient should skip the dose and take the usual prescribed dose on the following day.

Consider dose escalation by increments of 100 mg once a day to a maximum of 600 mg daily in all those who do not reach full hematologic, cytogenetic, or molecular response and do not have Grade three or greater side effects.

The most commonly reported Bosutinib side effects in patients with CML are diarrhea, rash, vomiting, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, hepatic dysfunction, pyrexia, respiratory tract infection, and headache.

Warning and Precautions

  • Vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain occur with Bosutinib treatment. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care (SOC), including antiemetics, antidiarrheals, and fluid replacement.
  • Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia occur with Bosutinib treatment. Perform complete blood counts (CBCs) weekly for the opening month of therapy and then monthly afterwards, or as clinically suggested. To cope with myelosuppression, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue treatment as required.
  • Bosutinib 500 mg may cause elevations in serum transaminases (alanine aminotransferase or ALT, aspartate aminotransferase or AST). Do hepatic enzyme tests monthly for the initial three months of treatment and as clinically needed. In those with transaminase elevations, monitor liver enzymes more often. Withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue as required.
  • Fluid retention may occur with Bosutinib 400 mg therapy and may manifest as pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and pulmonary/peripheral edema. Monitor as well as manage patients using standards of care (SOC). Interrupt, dose reduce or discontinue treatment with Bosutinib 100 mg as necessary.
  • Findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, Bosutinib can cause fetal harm when used by a pregnant woman. Females of reproductive ability should use effective contraception throughout the treatment and for at least a couple of weeks after the final dose of Bosutinib 100 mg tablets.
  • No information exists regarding the presence of bosutinib in human milk or its probable effects on a breastfed child. Because of the possibility of significant adverse reactions in a nursing child, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose.
