4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Daurismo is indicated, in combination with low-dose cytarabine, for the treatment of newly diagnosedde novo or secondary acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in adult patients who are not candidates forstandard induction chemotherapy.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Daurismo should only be prescribed by or under the supervision of a physician experienced in the useof anticancer medicinal products.
PosologyThe recommended dose is 100 mg glasdegib once daily in combination with low-dose cytarabine (seesection 5.1). Glasdegib should be continued as long as the patient is deriving clinical benefit.
Delayed or missed doses of glasdegib
If a dose is vomited, a replacement dose should not be administered; patients should wait until the nextscheduled dose is due. If a dose is missed or not taken at the usual time, then it should be taken as soonas the patient remembers unless more than 10 hours have passed since the scheduled dosing time, inwhich case the patient should not take the missed dose. Patients should not take 2 doses at the sametime to make up for a missed dose.
Dose modificationsDose modifications may be required based on individual safety and tolerability. If dose reduction isnecessary, then the dose of glasdegib should be reduced to 50 mg taken orally once daily.
Dose modification and management guidelines for specific adverse reactions are provided in Tables 1,2, 3 and 4.
No starting dose adjustments are required on the basis of patient age, race, gender, or body weight (seesection 5.2).
Assessment of laboratory values and QT abnormalities prior treatment initiation
Complete blood counts, electrolytes, renal, and hepatic function should be assessed prior to theinitiation of treatment and at least once weekly for the first month (see section 4.4). Serum creatininekinase (CK) levels should be obtained prior to initiating therapy and as indicated clinically thereafter(e.g., if muscle signs and symptoms are reported; see section 4.4). Electrocardiograms (ECGs) shouldbe monitored prior to the initiation of treatment, approximately one week after initiation, and thenonce monthly for the next two months to assess for QT corrected for heart rate (QTc) prolongation(see section 4.4).

Dose modification for concomitant use with moderate CYP3A4 inducers
Concomitant use of Daurismo with moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided. If concomitant useof moderate CYP3A4 inducers cannot be avoided, the dose of Daurismo should be increased astolerated as shown in Table 5. After the moderate CYP3A4 inducer has been discontinued for 7 days,the Daurismo dose taken prior to initiating the moderate CYP3A4 inducer should be resumed (seesection 4.5).

Special populationsHepatic impairmentNo dose adjustments are recommended in patients with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment(see section 5.2).
Renal impairmentNo dose adjustments are recommended for patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment.
No data are available in patients requiring haemodialysis (see section 5.2).
Elderly (≥ 65 years of age)
No dose adjustment in elderly patients is required (see section 5.2).
Paediatric populationThe safety and efficacy of Daurismo in the paediatric population (< 18 years of age) have not beenestablished. Daurismo should not be used in the paediatric population because there is no expectedsignificant therapeutic benefit over existing treatments for paediatric patients (see section 5.1).
Method of administrationDaurismo is for oral use. It may be taken with or without food.
Patients should be encouraged to take their dose at approximately the same time each day.
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Embryo-foetal toxicity
Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal embryo-foetal developmental toxicitystudies, Daurismo can cause embryo-foetal death or severe birth defects when administered to apregnant woman. Pregnant women should be advised of the potential risk to the foetus (see section4.6).
Daurismo should not be used during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not usingcontraception. The pregnancy status of female patients of childbearing potential should be verifiedprior to initiating treatment with Daurismo. Women of childbearing potential should be advised toalways use effective contraception during treatment with Daurismo and for at least 30 days after thelast dose (see section 4.6).
Males
Glasdegib may be present in semen. Male patients with female partners should be advised of thepotential risk of exposure through semen and to always use effective contraception, including acondom (with spermicide, if available), even after vasectomy, to avoid exposure of a pregnant partneror a female partner of childbearing potential during treatment with Daurismo and for at least 30 daysafter the last dose (see section 4.6).
If a female patient or female partner of a male patient becomes pregnant, or suspects a pregnancyduring treatment with Daurismo or during the 30 days after the last dose, they must inform theirhealthcare provider immediately (see section 4.6).
Based on non-clinical safety findings, glasdegib has the potential to impair reproductive function inmales. Men should seek advice on effective fertility preservation prior to initiating treatment with
Daurismo (see section 4.6).
QT interval prolongation
In a randomised study (Study 1) of patients with AML and high-risk MDS (myelodysplasticsyndrome) treated with Daurismo with low-dose cytarabine vs low-dose cytarabine alone, Grade 3/4
ECG QT prolonged was reported in 3.5% of patients treated with Daurismo with low-dose cytarabinecompared to 2.4% of the patients treated with low-dose cytarabine alone.
Electrolytes should be assessed prior to initiation of Daurismo, at least once weekly for the firstmonth, and then once monthly for the duration of therapy. Electrolyte abnormalities should becorrected.
Concomitant medicinal products should be assessed. For medicinal products that have known
QT prolonging effects and/or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor potential, alternatives should be considered.
ECGs should be monitored 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. In patients withcongenital long QT syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who aretaking medicinal products with known QT prolonging effects, more frequent ECG monitoring isrecommended. ECG should be repeated if abnormal. Abnormalities should be managed promptly, anddose modifications should be considered (see sections 4.2 and 4.5).
Blood cell counts and hepatic function monitoring
Complete blood counts and hepatic function should be assessed prior to the initiation of therapy and atleast once weekly for the first month. Thereafter, hepatic function and blood cell counts should bemonitored as clinically indicated but at least monthly. In the event of hepatic or haematologic toxicity,dose modifications may be needed (see section 4.2).
Muscle-related adverse events
In Study 1, muscle spasms were observed in 22.6% of patients treated with Daurismo with low-dosecytarabine compared to 4.8% of the patients treated with low-dose cytarabine alone.
All patients starting therapy with Daurismo must be informed of the risk of muscle-related adverseevents. They must be instructed to report promptly any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness orweakness occurring during treatment with Daurismo or if symptoms persist after discontinuingtreatment.
Serum CK levels should be obtained prior to initiating Daurismo and as clinically indicated thereafter(e.g. if muscle signs and symptoms are reported). Management of high-grade CK elevation based oncurrent standards of medical practice and following appropriate treatment guidelines is recommended.
Dose modification or management recommendations should be followed (see section 4.2).
Renal impairmentPatients with pre-existing renal impairment or risk factors for renal dysfunction should be monitoredclosely. Renal function should be assessed prior to initiation of therapy and at least once weekly forthe first month of therapy with Daurismo. Electrolytes and renal function should be monitored oncemonthly for the duration of therapy (see section 4.2).
ExcipientsLactose intolerancePatients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency orglucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicinal product.
Sodium contentThis medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially“sodium-free”.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Effects of other medicinal products on the pharmacokinetics of glasdegib
In vitro, CYP3A4 is responsible for the majority of glasdegib depletion and contributed to theformation of other minor oxidative metabolites, with CYP2C8 and UGT1A9 playing a minor role inthe metabolism of glasdegib.
Substances that may increase glasdegib plasma concentration
CYP3A4 inhibitorsKetoconazole, a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4, dosed at 400 mg once daily for 7 days, increased themean area under the curve (AUCinf) by ~2.4-fold and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by 40%of a single 200 mg oral dose of glasdegib in healthy subjects. Caution should be used whenadministering concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. boceprevir, cobicistat, conivaptan,itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, telaprevir, troleandomycin, voriconazole, ritonavir,grapefruit or grapefruit juice) as an increase in glasdegib plasma concentration may occur. If possible,alternate concomitant medicinal product with no or minimal CYP3A4 inhibition potential isrecommended (see section 4.4).
Gastric pH altering medicinal products
Coadministration of a single 100 mg glasdegib dose under fasted condition with multiple doses of theproton-pump inhibitor (PPI), rabeprazole, resulted in no change in glasdegib plasma exposure (AUCinfratio: 100.6%). Concomitant administration of glasdegib with acid-reducing agents (including PPIs,
H2-receptor antagonists, and locally acting antacids) is permitted.
Substances that may decrease glasdegib plasma concentration
CYP3A4 inducersRifampicin, a strong inducer of CYP3A4, administered at a dose of 600 mg once daily for 11 days,reduced the mean AUCinf by 70% and Cmax by 35% of a single 100 mg dose of glasdegib in healthysubjects. Concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, carbamazepine,enzalutamide, mitotane, phenytoin and St. John’s Wort) should be avoided, as this is likely to decreaseglasdegib plasma concentrations.
Simulations using physiologic-based pharmacokinetic modelling suggested that coadministration ofefavirenz (a moderate inducer of CYP3A4) with glasdegib decreased glasdegib AUCinf by 55% and
Cmax by 25%. Concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. bosentan, efavirenz, etravirine,modafinil, nafcillin) should be avoided as they may also reduce glasdegib plasma concentrations (seesection 4.4). If concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4 inducers cannot be avoided, the dose of
Daurismo should be increased (see section 4.2).
Effect of glasdegib on the pharmacokinetics of other medicinal products
Pharmacodynamic interactionsMedicinal products known to prolong QT interval
Glasdegib may prolong QT interval. Therefore, the concomitant use of glasdegib with other medicinalproducts known to prolong QT interval or induce Torsades de Pointes (such as amiodarone,disopyramide, dofetilide, ibutilide, sotalol, quinidine, droperidol, haloperidol, methadone,moxifloxacin, pimozide) should be carefully considered (see sections 4.2 and 4.4).
Pharmacokinetic interactionsDrug transporters
In vitro studies indicated that glasdegib may have the potential to inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp,gastrointestinal [GI] tract) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, systemically and at the GItract) mediated transport at clinically relevant concentrations. Therefore, narrow therapeutic indexsubstrates of P-gp (e.g. digoxin) or BCRP should be used with caution in combination with glasdegib.
In vitro studies of transporter inhibition
In vitro studies indicated that glasdegib may have the potential to inhibit (MATE)1 and MATE2K atclinically relevant concentrations.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Women of childbearing potential/Contraception in males and femalesIf Daurismo is used in women of childbearing potential, they should be advised to avoid becomingpregnant. The pregnancy status of female patients of childbearing potential should be verified priorto initiating treatment. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking Daurismo, the patient should beapprised of the potential hazard to the foetus.
Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal embryo-foetal developmental studies,
Daurismo can cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Women of childbearingpotential who are receiving this medicinal product should always use effective contraception duringtreatment with Daurismo and for at least 30 days after the last dose. If a female patient becomespregnant, or suspects a pregnancy, during treatment with Daurismo or during the 30 days after the lastdose, she must notify her healthcare provider immediately (see section 4.4).
Males
Glasdegib may be present in semen. Male patients should not donate semen during treatment with
Daurismo and for at least 30 days after the last dose. Male patients with female partners should beadvised of the potential risk of exposure through semen and to always use effective contraception,including a condom (with spermicide, if available), even after a vasectomy, to avoid exposure of apregnant partner or a female partner of childbearing potential during treatment with Daurismo and forat least 30 days after the last dose. Male patients must inform their healthcare provider immediately iftheir female partner becomes pregnant during treatment with Daurismo or during the 30 days after thelast dose (see section 4.4).
PregnancyThere are no data on the use of Daurismo in pregnant women. Based on its mechanism of action andfindings in animal embryo-foetal developmental toxicity studies, glasdegib can cause foetal harmwhen administered to a pregnant woman (see section 5.3). Daurismo should not be used duringpregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using contraception (see section 4.4).
Breast-feedingNo studies have been conducted in humans to assess the effect of glasdegib on milk production, itspresence in breast milk, or its effects on the breast-fed child. It is unknown whether glasdegib and itsmetabolites are excreted in human milk. Given the potential for serious adverse reactions inbreast-feeding children from glasdegib, breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with
Daurismo and for at least one week after the last dose (see section 5.3).
FertilityBased on non-clinical safety findings, glasdegib has the potential to impair reproductive function inmales. Men should seek advice on effective fertility preservation prior to initiating treatment with
Daurismo. Based on its mechanism of action, Daurismo may impair female fertility (see section 5.3).
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Daurismo has minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines. However, patientsexperiencing fatigue or other symptoms (e.g. muscle cramps, pain, nausea) affecting the ability toreact normally while taking Daurismo should exercise caution when driving or operating machines.
4.8 Undesirable effects

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: antineoplastic agents, other antineoplastic agents, ATC code: L01XJ03
Mechanism of actionGlasdegib is an inhibitor of the Hedgehog (Hh) signal transduction pathway that binds to Smoothened(SMO), a transmembrane protein, leading to decreased Glioma-Associated Oncogene (GLI)transcription factor activity and downstream pathway signalling. Hh pathway signalling is required formaintaining a leukaemic stem cell (LSC) population thus, glasdegib binding to and inhibiting SMOreduces GLI1 levels in AML cells and the leukaemic initiating potential of AML cells. Hh pathwaysignalling is also implicated in resistance to chemotherapy and targeted therapy. In a preclinical modelof AML, glasdegib in combination with low-dose cytarabine inhibited increases in tumour size to agreater extent than glasdegib or low-dose cytarabine alone. However, mechanism of action of thecombination is not fully understood.
Cardiac electrophysiologyHeart rate corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation has been observed in patients treated with
Daurismo at a supratherapeutic dose of > 270 mg. The effect of glasdegib administration on corrected
QT interval was evaluated in a randomised, single-dose, double-blind, 4-way crossover, placebo- andopen-label moxifloxacin controlled study in 36 healthy subjects. At therapeutic plasma concentrations(achieved with a 150 mg single dose), the largest, placebo and baseline-adjusted corrected QT intervalchange was 8.03 msec (90% CI: 5.85, 10.22 msec). At approximately twice the therapeuticconcentration (supratherapeutic, achieved with a 300 mg single dose), the QTc change was 13.43 msec(95% CI: 11.25, 15.61 msec). Moxifloxacin (400 mg), used as a positive control, showed a mean QTcchange from baseline of 13.87 msec. None of the subjects met categorical criterion of absolutecorrected QT interval of ≥ 480 msec or increase from baseline in corrected QT interval ≥ 30 msec afterreceiving any treatment. None of the ECG abnormalities were considered clinically significant orreported as adverse events by the investigator (see section 4.4).
Additionally, serial, triplicate ECGs were collected following a single and multiple dosing to evaluatethe effect of single agent glasdegib on the corrected QT interval in 70 patients with advanced cancer(5 mg to 640 mg once daily). Based on the exposure-response analysis, the estimated mean changefrom baseline in QTc was 5.30 msec (95% CI: 4.40, 6.24 msec) at the mean observed Cmax at steadystate following administration at the recommended 100 mg once daily dose of glasdegib.
Clinical efficacy and safetyDaurismo in combination with low-dose cytarabine was investigated in a multicentre, randomised,open-label Phase 2 study (Study 1) in a total of 132 patients, which included 116 patients withpreviously untreated de novo or secondary AML who were not eligible to receive intensivechemotherapy as defined by meeting at least one of the following criteria: a) age ≥ 75 years, b) severecardiac disease, c) baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2, ord) baseline serum creatinine > 1.3 mg/dL. Patients were randomised 2:1 to receive Daurismo (100 mgorally once daily) with low-dose cytarabine (20 mg SC twice daily on days 1 to 10 of the 28-daycycle) (n=78) or low-dose cytarabine alone (n=38) in 28-day cycles until disease progression orunacceptable toxicity. Patients were stratified at randomisation by prognostic risk factor(good/intermediate or poor) based on cytogenetics.
The baseline demographic and disease characteristics are shown in Table 7. The two treatment armswere generally balanced with respect to the baseline demographics and disease characteristics. Acrossboth arms, 40% of the AML patients had poor cytogenetic risk and 60% had good/intermediatecytogenetic risk.
Efficacy was established by an improvement in overall survival (OS defined from the date ofrandomisation to death of any cause) in the Daurismo with low-dose cytarabine arm, compared tolow-dose cytarabine alone. After a median follow-up of approximately 20 months with 81% deathsobserved, the Daurismo with low-dose cytarabine arm was superior to low-dose cytarabine alone in
AML patients (Figure 1). The efficacy results are shown in Table 8.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
AbsorptionFollowing a single 100 mg dose of glasdegib, peak concentration in plasma is rapidly reached with themedian Tmax of 2 hours. Following repeat 100 mg once daily dosing to steady state, glasdegib median
Tmax ranged from approximately 1.3 hours to 1.8 hours.
Food effectAfter oral administration of glasdegib tablets, the mean absolute bioavailability is 77.1% compared tointravenous administration. Administration of glasdegib with a high-fat, high-calorie meal resulted in16% lower exposure (AUCinf) compared to overnight fasting. The impact of food on thepharmacokinetics of glasdegib is not considered clinically relevant. Glasdegib may be administeredwith or without food.
Following 100 mg once daily glasdegib dosing, the mean (coefficient of variation, %CV) of glasdegib
Cmax was 1 252 ng/mL (44%) and AUCtau was 17 210 ng*hr/mL (54%) in patients with cancer.
DistributionGlasdegib is 91% bound to human plasma proteins in vitro. The mean (%CV) apparent volume ofdistribution (Vz/F) was 188 (20) L following a single dose of 100 mg glasdegib in patients withhaematologic malignancies.
BiotransformationThe primary metabolic pathways for glasdegib were comprised of N-demethylation, glucuronidation,oxidation, and dehydrogenation. In plasma, the N-desmethyl and N-glucuronide metabolites ofglasdegib accounted for 7.9% and 7.2% of the circulating radioactivity, respectively. Othermetabolites in plasma individually accounted for < 5% of circulating radioactivity.
In vitro interaction studies
In vitro CYP3A4 inhibition and induction
In vitro studies indicated that glasdegib is affected by inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4. Please seesection 4.5 for further discussion of moderate CYP3A4 inducers. A strong inhibitor of CYP3A4increased the mean area under the curve (AUCinf) by ~2.4-fold and maximum plasma concentration(Cmax) by 40% of a single 200 mg oral dose of glasdegib in healthy subjects. A strong inducer of
CYP3A4, reduced the mean AUCinf by 70% and Cmax by 35% of a single 100 mg dose of glasdegib inhealthy subjects. Use of glasdegib with strong inducers should be avoided; caution should be use whenadministering concomitantly glasdegib with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (see section 4.5).
EliminationThe mean ( SD) plasma half-life of glasdegib was 17.4 3.7 hours after a single dose of 100 mgglasdegib in patients. The geometric mean oral clearance after multiple dosing was 6.45 L/hr.
Following oral administration of a 100 mg radiolabeled dose of glasdegib to healthy subjects, mean48.9% and 41.7% of the radioactivity dosed was recovered in urine and faeces, respectively. Theoverall mean mass balance of the dosed radioactivity in the excreta was 90.6%. Unchanged glasdegibwas the major component of human plasma, accounting for 69.4% of the total drug-related material.
Unchanged glasdegib recovered in the urine and faeces accounted for 17.2% and 19.5% of the dose,respectively.
Linearity/non-linearityThe steady state systemic glasdegib exposure (Cmax and AUCtau) increased in a dose-proportionalmanner over the dosing range of 5 mg to 600 mg once daily.
Special populationsHepatic impairmentData from a dedicated pharmacokinetic trial have shown that plasma exposures for total glasdegib(AUCinf and Cmax) were similar between subjects with normal hepatic function and subjects withmoderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), whilst geometric mean AUCinf and Cmax valueswere 24% and 42% lower, respectively, for subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh
Class C), compared to the normal hepatic function group. The glasdegib unbound exposure (unbound
AUCinf) is increased by 18% and 16% in subjects with moderate and severe impairment, respectively,relative to subjects with normal hepatic function. Peak glasdegib unbound exposure (unbound Cmax)increased by 1%, for moderate hepatic impairment and decreased by 11% for severe hepaticimpairment, relative to subjects with normal hepatic function. These changes are not considered to beclinically relevant.
Renal impairmentData from a dedicated pharmacokinetic trial in subjects with varying degrees of renal functionimpairment indicate that total glasdegib exposure (AUCinf) increased by 105%, and 102% withmoderate (30 mL/min ≤ eGFR < 60 mL/min), and severe (eGFR < 30 mL/min) renal impairment,respectively, relative to subjects with normal (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min) renal function. Peak glasdegibexposure (Cmax) increased by 37%, and 20% for subjects with moderate, and severe renal impairment,respectively, relative to subjects with normal renal function. These changes are not considered to beclinically relevant.
ElderlyIn patients assigned to treatment with Daurismo with low-dose cytarabine (n=88; Study 1), 97.7% ofthe patients were aged 65 or older and 60.2% of the patients were aged 75 or older. Study 1 did notinclude a sufficient number of patients younger than age 65 to determine differences in adversereactions reported from patients older than 65.
Age, race, gender, and body weight
There are limited data in patients younger than 65 years of age. Population pharmacokinetic analysesin adult patients (n=269) indicate that there are no clinically relevant effects of age, gender, race, bodyweight on the pharmacokinetics of glasdegib.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
The primary target organ findings following repeat oral administration of glasdegib in rats and dogsfor up to 26 and 39 weeks in duration, respectively, included the kidney (degeneration/necrosis) in ratand dog, the liver (necrosis/inflammation) in dog only, and the testis (degeneration), growing incisorteeth (necrosis/broken), growing bone (partial to full closure of epiphysis), and peripheral nerve(axonal degeneration) in rat only. Additional clinical observations of alopecia, weight loss, and muscletremors/twitching, known class effects of SMO inhibitors, were observed in both species. Thesesystemic toxicities were generally dose-dependent and observed at exposures ranging fromapproximately < 0.03 to 8-times the clinically relevant exposure based on non-clinical to clinicalcomparison of the observed unbound AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 100 mg once daily.
Complete reversibility of toxicities to the kidney (degeneration/necrosis), peripheral nerve (axonaldegeneration), seminiferous tubule (testicular degeneration), and the clinical observations of muscletremors/twitching was demonstrated following up to 16-week recovery, whereas partial recovery wasdemonstrated in the liver (necrosis/inflammation). The observation of alopecia, bone and teeth effects,and testicular hypospermatogenesis did not recover. In addition, QTc prolongation was identified intelemetered dogs at unbound Cmax exposures approximately 4-times the observed unbound Cmaxexposure at the recommended clinical dose of 100 mg once daily.
Glasdegib was not mutagenic in vitro in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and was notclastogenic in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay in human lymphocytes. Glasdegib was notclastogenic or aneugenic in the rat micronucleus assay.
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with glasdegib.
In repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats, findings observed in the male reproductive tract includedadverse testicular changes with glasdegib at doses 50 mg/kg/day, and consisted of minimal to severehypospermatogenesis characterised by partial to complete loss of spermatogonia, spermatocytes andspermatids and testicular degeneration. Hypospermatogenesis did not recover whereas testiculardegeneration did recover. The dose at which adverse testicular effects were observed in male rats wasidentified as 50 mg/kg/day with corresponding systemic exposures that were approximately 8-timesthose associated with the observed human exposure at the 100 mg once daily dose (based on unbound
AUC in respective species). Safety margin for NOAEL (10 mg/kg/day) is 0.6, hence lower thanclinically relevant.
In embryo-foetal developmental toxicity studies conducted in rats and rabbits, glasdegib was severelytoxic to the conceptus as evidenced by complete resorption and/or abortion of foetuses, andteratogenic effects at lower dose levels. Teratogenic effects included 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, oedema,persistent truncus arteriosus, heart defects, absent lung, absent trachea, rib and vertebral abnormalities,and malformed or absent structures in the appendicular skeleton (notably the long bones). Severedevelopmental malformations were observed at maternal systemic exposures lower than the relevanthuman exposure at the recommended dose of 100 mg once daily.
