6.1 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.
Combination Therapy in Newly-Diagnosed De Novo CD33-positive AML The safety of MYLOTARG in first-line combination therapy was evaluated in two prospective clinical trials, Study ALFA-0701 in adults and Study AAML0531 in pediatric patients.
Study ALFA-0701 The safety evaluation of MYLOTARG (3 mg/m 2 Day 1, 4 and 7 in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine [DA]) in adults is based on data from ALFA-0701 for 131 patients treated with MYLOTARG plus DA and in 137 patients treated with DA alone [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ].
In this study, 123 patients received all 3 fractionated doses of MYLOTARG and 7 patients missed at least 1 dose, with a mean total dose administered during induction of 14.51 mg (range: 4.6–18.0).
MYLOTARG was received by 91 (70%) patients in the MYLOTARG arm during Consolidation 1 and 64 (49%) patients in the MYLOTARG arm during Consolidation 2.
Safety data consisting of selected TEAEs considered most important for understanding the safety profile of MYLOTARG as well as all adverse events (AEs) that led to the permanent discontinuation of treatment were retrospectively collected.
The selected TEAEs consisted of all grades hemorrhages, all grades VOD, and severe infections.
Discontinuation due to any adverse reaction occurred in 31% of patients in the MYLOTARG arm versus 7% in the DA arm.
The most frequent (greater than or equal to 1%) adverse reactions for patients treated with MYLOTARG that led to permanent discontinuation were thrombocytopenia (15%), VOD (3%), and septic shock (2%).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 8 patients (6%) in the MYLOTARG arm versus 3 patients (2%) in the DA arm.
In the MYLOTARG arm, 3 patients died of VOD, 4 patients died of hemorrhage-related events (CNS hemorrhage, hemorrhagic shock), and 1 patient died of suspected cardiac cause.
In the DA arm, 3 patients died of sepsis.

The prolonged cytopenias were associated with more deaths in remission in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm (29 [5%]) compared to the chemotherapy alone arm (15 [3%]).
VOD events were reported in 25 (5%) patients in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm as well as 25 (5%) of the chemotherapy alone arm.
VOD was fatal in 2 (<1%) and 7 (1%) patients in the MYLOTARG + chemotherapy arm and chemotherapy alone arm, respectively.
Monotherapy for Newly-Diagnosed CD33-positive AML The safety evaluation of MYLOTARG (6 mg/m 2 then 3 mg/m 2 , with 7 days between the doses) as monotherapy is based on a randomized, open-label, Phase 3 trial of MYLOTARG (N=118) versus best supportive care (BSC) (N=119) in patients with previously untreated AML who were considered ineligible for intensive chemotherapy in Study AML-19 [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ].
The overall incidence of any Grade adverse reactions reported in AML-19 was 87% in the MYLOTARG arm and 90% in the BSC arm.
The incidence of Grade greater than or equal to 3 adverse reactions was 61% in the MYLOTARG arm and 68% in the BSC arm.
Death due to any Adverse Event was reported in the MYLOTARG arm of 19 (17%) compared to the BSC arm of 23 (20%).
