Hematologic Adverse Effects OralIn patients in the chronic phase of CML experiencing grade 3 or higher Neutropenia or thrombocytopenia during complete hematologic response, temporarily withhold therapy. May resume dasatinib therapy at a reduced dosage. Temporary dosage reductions may be necessary for intermediate degrees of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia and disease response.
In patients with Ph+ ALL experiencing persistent (>3 weeks) neutropenia or thrombocytopenia unrelated to ALL (as determined by bone marrow aspirate or biopsy). Treatment may be resumed at the original starting dosage or at a reduced dosage as described in Table 5 when ANC resolves to ≥1000/mm3 and platelet counts resolve to ≥75,000/mm3. If neutropenia or thrombocytopenia recurs, repeat bone marrow aspirate or biopsy and resume dasatinib at a reduced dosage (Table 5). If neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia delay the next cycle by >14 days, interrupt dasatinib therapy and resume at the same dosage once the next cycle starts. If neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia persist and the next cycle is further delayed by 7 days, perform a bone marrow assessment to assess cellularity and percentage of blasts. If bone marrow cellularity is <10%, interrupt treatment with dasatinib until ANC >500/mm3. If neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia recur and delay the next cycle by 7 days, repeat bone marrow aspirate or biopsy. If marrow cellularity is less than 10%, treatment may be resumed at the full dosage once ANC exceeds 500/mm3. If bone marrow cellularity is greater than 10%, consider resuming therapy.

Warnings/Precautions
Hematologic Effects
Myelosuppression (principally severe neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia) occurs commonly and is usually reversible; more frequent in patients in the accelerated or blast phase of CML and in those with Ph+ ALL than in patients in the chronic phase of CML.
Temporary suspension of therapy or dosage reduction may be required if hematologic toxicity occurs.
In patients with chronic phase CML, perform CBC every 2 weeks during the first 3 months of therapy and then every 3 months (or as clinically indicated) thereafter. In patients with advance phase CML or Ph+ ALL, perform CBCs weekly during the first 2 months of therapy and monthly (or as clinically indicated) thereafter.
In pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL, perform CBC prior to the start of each block of chemotherapy and as clinically indicated; during consolidation blocks of chemotherapy, perform CBC every 2 days until recovery.
Hemorrhage
Risk of severe hemorrhage, including potentially fatal CNS or GI hemorrhage; usually associated with severe thrombocytopenia.
Severe hemorrhage may require treatment interruption and transfusions.
Use with caution in patients receiving anticoagulants or drugs that inhibit platelet function.
Fluid Retention
Risk of potentially severe fluid retention (i.e., pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, pulmonary edema, ascites, generalized edema).
Fluid retention generally managed with supportive care (e.g., diuretics, short course of corticosteroids).
Evaluate symptoms suggestive of pleural effusion or other fluid retention (e.g., new or worsening dyspnea on exertion or at rest, dry cough, pleuritic chest pain) by chest radiograph. Severe pleural effusion may require thoracentesis and oxygen therapy. Consider dosage reduction or interruption of therapy if fluid retention occurs.
Cardiac Effects
May cause cardiac dysfunction or prolongation of the QT interval.
Use with caution in patients who have or may develop prolongation of the QT interval (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, congenital long QT syndrome, use of drugs known to prolong QT interval, cumulative high-dose anthracycline therapy). Correct hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia prior to administration of dasatinib.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
May increase risk for development of PAH. May occur at any time after initiation of therapy (e.g., 8–60 months); reported most often in patients with comorbidities or receiving other drugs concomitantly. May be reversible upon discontinuance of dasatinib.
Evaluate patient for manifestations of cardiopulmonary disease before and during dasatinib therapy. Consider PAH in any patient with dyspnea, fatigue, hypoxia, and fluid retention; however, exclude other etiologies of dyspnea prior to initiating invasive diagnostic procedures for PAH.
Interruption of therapy accompanied by monitoring for improvement may be considered if PAH is suspected. If PAH is cOnfirmed (e.g., by cardiac catheterization), permanently discontinue the drug.
Severe Dermatologic Reactions
May cause severe dermatological reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and erythema multiforme.
Permanently discontinue in patients experiencing a severe dermatological reaction during treatment and no other etiology for the reaction can be identified.
Tumor Lysis Syndrome
May increase risk of tumor lysis syndrome, generally in patients with imatinib-resistant disease in an advanced phase.
Due to potential for tumor lysis syndrome, maintain adequate hydration, correct uric acid levels prior to initiating therapy with dasatinib, and monitor electrolyte levels during therapy. Patients with advanced phase disease and/or high tumor burden may be at an increased risk of tumor lysis syndrome and should be monitored more frequently.
Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality
May cause fetal harm; embryofetal toxicity and teratogenicity have been reported in humans. Avoid pregnancy during therapy. If used during pregnancy or if patient becomes pregnant, apprise of potential fetal hazard.
Females of reproductive potential and males with such female partners should use effective forms of contraception during therapy and for 30 days after the last dose.
Females who are pregnant should not handle crushed or broken dasatinib tablets.
Effects on Growth and Development of Pediatric Patients
May affect bone growth and development in pediatric patients.
Monitor bone growth and development during therapy in pediatric patients.
Hepatotoxicity
Hepatotoxicity with increases in bilirubin, AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase reported. Monitor transaminases at baseline and monthly or as clinically indicated during therapy. Reduce or withhold the dasatinib dose or permanently discontinue therapy based on hepatotoxicity severity. When administered with chemotherapy, transaminase elevations and hyperbilirubinemia reported. Monitor hepatic function when dasatinib is used in combination with chemotherapy.
Lactose-intolerant Patients
140-mg daily dosage contains 189 mg of lactose monohydrate; 100-mg daily dosage contains 135 mg of lactose monohydrate.
Specific Populations
PregnancyMay cause fetal harm.
LactationNot known whether dasatinib is distributed into human milk. Discontinue nursing because of potential risk to nursing infants.
Pediatric UseMonitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients.
Safety and efficacy not established in patients <18 years of age with previously treated Ph+ accelerated or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase CML.
Safety and efficacy of dasatinib monotherapy evaluated in pediatric patients ≥1 year of age with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML. Safety and efficacy also has been demonstrated in pediatric patients ≥1 year of age with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL. No data in pediatric patients <1 year of age.
Adverse effects on bone growth and development and grade 1 osteopenia reported in pediatric patients. Overall, safety profile in pediatric patients is comparable to that reported in adult patients.
Systemic exposure of dasatinib following administration of dasatinib tablets dispersed in juice was 36% lower compared to intact tablets in 5 patients 2–10 years of age with Ph+ ALL. Efficacy and safety of dispersing dasatinib tablets not been established.
Geriatric UseNo substantial difference in efficacy relative to younger adults, but patients ≥65 years of age are more likely to experience toxicity.
Hepatic ImpairmentNot studied in patients with hepatic impairment (ALT and/or AST >2.5 times ULN and/or total bilirubin >2 times ULN); however the drug is metabolized extensively in the liver.
Renal ImpairmentRenal impairment not expected to decrease dasatinib clearance.
Creatinine clearance of 21.6 mL/minute had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of dasatinib.
Common Adverse Effects
Adverse effects reported in 15% or more of patients receiving dasatinib as monotherapy myelosuppression, fluid retention, diarrhea, headache, rash, hemorrhage, dyspnea, fatigue, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain.
Adverse effects reported in 30% or more of pediatric patients receiving dasatinib in combination with chemotherapy include mucositis, febrile neutropenia, pyrexia, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, cough, headache, rash, fatigue, constipation, arrhythmia, hypertension, edema, infection, hypotension, decreased appetite, hypersensitivity, dyspnea, epistaxis, peripheral neuropathy, and altered state of consciousness.
What other drugs will affect Dasatinib (Systemic)
Metabolized principally by CYP3A4; weak inhibitor of CYP3A4.
Does not inhibit CYP isoenzymes 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 2E1; does not induce human CYP isoenzymes.
Drugs Affecting Hepatic Microsomal Enzymes
Inhibitors of CYP3A4: Potential pharmacokinetic interaction (increased plasma dasatinib concentrations). Consider alternative drugs with no or less enzyme inhibition potential. If concomitant use with a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor cannot be avoided, consider reducing dasatinib dosage to 20 mg daily (if current dosage is 70 or 100 mg daily) or to 40 mg daily (if current dosage is 140 mg daily) based on pharmacokinetic considerations (no clinical data with these dosage adjustments available). Consider stopping dasatinib 40 or 60 mg if a CYP3A4 inhibitor is necessary. If dasatinib is not tolerated following dosage reduction, discontinue the CYP3A4 inhibitor or interrupt dasatinib therapy until treatment with the CYP3A4 inhibitor is completed. Upon discontinuance of a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, allow approximately 1 week to elapse before increasing dasatinib dosage.
Inducers of CYP3A4: Potential pharmacokinetic interaction (decreased plasma dasatinib concentrations). Avoid concomitant use of potent CYP3A4 inducers; consider alternative drugs with no or less enzyme induction potential. If concomitant therapy cannot be avoided, consider increase in dasatinib dosage and closely monitor patient for toxicity.
Drugs Affecting Coagulation
Potential for bleeding; use anticoagulants and drugs that inhibit platelet function concomitantly with caution.
Drugs Metabolized by Hepatic Microsomal Enzymes
Substrates of CYP3A4: Potential pharmacokinetic interaction (increased plasma substrate concentrations).
Specific Drugs and Foods
Drug or Food
Interaction
Comments
Antacids (e.g., Calcium carbonate, aluminum and magnesium hydroxides)
Possible decreased plasma dasatinib concentrations, secondary to apparent pH-dependence of dasatinib solubility Dasatinib AUC unchanged when administered 2 hours after antacid (aluminum and magnesium hydroxides) but decreased 55% when administered concomitantly with antacid
Administer antacids ≥2 hours before or ≥2 hours after a dose of dasatinib
Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin)
Possible increased risk of hemorrhage
Use concomitantly with caution
Antifungals, azoles (i.e., itraconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole)
Possible increased plasma dasatinib concentrations and increased exposure to dasatinib Ketoconazole: Increased dasatinib AUC by fivefold and peak concentration by fourfold
Avoid concomitant use if possible; if concomitant therapy necessary, closely monitor for toxicity and consider reducing dasatinib dosage
Grapefruit juice
Possible increased plasma dasatinib concentrations
Avoid concomitant use
Histamine H2-receptor antagonists (e.g., cimetidine, famotidine, ranitidine)
Possible decreased plasma dasatinib concentrations, secondary to apparent pH-dependence of dasatinib solubility Famotidine: Decreased dasatinib AUC and peak concentration by 61–63% when given 10 hours before dasatinib
Concomitant use not recommended
Proton-pump inhibitors (e.g., esOmeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, Pantoprazole, rabeprazole)
Possible decreased plasma dasatinib concentrations, secondary to apparent pH-dependence of dasatinib solubility Omeprazole: Decreased dasatinib AUC and peak concentration by 42–43% when given 22 hours before dasatinib
Concomitant use not recommended
Rifamycins (rifabutin, rifampin)
Possible decreased plasma dasatinib concentrations and AUC of dasatinib Rifampin: Decreased dasatinib AUC and peak concentration by 81–82%
Avoid concomitant use if possible; if concomitant therapy necessary, consider increasing dasatinib dosage and closely monitor for toxicity
St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum)
Potential for unpredictable decreases in plasma dasatinib concentrations
Concomitant use not recommended
