Myelosuppression and Bleeding Events: Severe thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia may occur. Use caution if used concomitantly with medications that inhibit platelet function or anticoagulants. Monitor complete blood counts regularly. Transfuse and interrupt Dasatinib tablets when indicated. Fluid Retention: Fluid retention, sometimes severe, including pleural effusions. Manage with supportive care measures and/or dose modification. Cardiovascular Toxicity: Monitor patients for signs or symptoms and treat appropriately. Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Dasatinib tablets may increase the risk of developing PAH which may be reversible on discontinuation. Consider baseline risk and evaluate patients for signs and symptoms of PAH during treatment. Stop Dasatinib tablets if PAH is confirmed. QT Prolongation: Use Dasatinib tablets with caution in patients who have or may develop prolongation of the QT interval. Severe Dermatologic Reactions: Individual cases of severe mucocutaneous dermatologic reactions have been reported. Tumor Lysis Syndrome: Tumor lysis syndrome has been reported. Maintain adequate hydration and correct uric acid levels prior to initiating therapy with Dasatinib tablets. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of potential risk to fetus and to use effective contraception. Effects on Growth and Development in Pediatric Patients: epiphyses delayed fusion, osteopenia, growth retardation, and gynecomastia have been reported. Monitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients. Hepatotoxicity: Assess liver function before initiation of treatment and monthly thereafter or as clinically indicated. Monitor liver function when combined with chemotherapy known to be associated with liver dysfunction. Myelosuppression Treatment with Dasatinib is associated with severe (NCI CTCAE Grade 3 or 4) thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia, which occur earlier and more frequently in patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL than in patients with chronic phase CML. In patients with chronic phase CML, perform complete blood counts (CBCs) every 2 weeks for 12 weeks, then every 3 months thereafter, or as clinically indicated. In patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, perform CBCs weekly for the first 2 months and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. In pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL treated with Dasatinib in combination with chemotherapy, perform CBCs prior to the start of each block of chemotherapy and as clinically indicated. During the consolidation blocks of chemotherapy, perform CBCs every 2 days until recovery. Myelosuppression is generally reversible and usually managed by withholding Dasatinib temporarily and/or dose reduction. Abridged from the full prescribing information.

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: - Myelosuppression. - Bleeding-related events. - Fluid retention. - Cardiovascular toxicity. - Pulmonary arterial hypertension. - QT prolongation. - Severe dermatologic reactions. - Tumor lysis syndrome. - Effects on growth and development in pediatric patients. - Hepatotoxicity. Most common adverse reactions (≥15%) in patients receiving Dasatinib tablets as single-agent therapy included myelosuppression, fluid retention events, diarrhea, headache, skin rash, hemorrhage, dyspnea, fatigue, nausea, and musculoskeletal pain. Most common adverse reactions (≥30%) in pediatric patients receiving Dasatinib tablets in combination with chemotherapy included mucositis, febrile neutropenia, pyrexia, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, musculoskeletal pain, abdominal pain, cough, headache, rash, fatigue, constipation, arrhythmia, hypertension, edema, infections (bacterial, viral and fungal), hypotension, decreased appetite, hypersensitivity, dyspnea, epistaxis, peripheral neuropathy, and altered state of consciousness. 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. The data described below reflect exposure to Dasatinib administered as single-agent therapy at all doses tested in clinical studies (n=2809), including 324 adult patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, 2388 adult patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant chronic or advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL, and 97 pediatric patients with chronic phase CML. The median duration of therapy in a total of 2712 adult patients was 19.2 months (range 0 to 93.2 months). In a randomized trial in patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML, the median duration of therapy was approximately 60 months. The median duration of therapy in 1618 adult patients with chronic phase CML was 29 months (range 0 to 92.9 months). The median duration of therapy in 1094 adult patients with advanced phase CML or Ph+ ALL was 6.2 months (range 0 to 93.2 months). In two non-randomized trials in 97 pediatric patients with chronic phase CML (51 patients newly diagnosed and 46 patients resistant or intolerant to previous treatment with imatinib), the median duration of therapy was 51.1 months (range 1.9 to 99.6 months).
