3 introduction Helping you get where you want to be Your doctor has prescribed BOSULIF, a prescription medicine used to treat adults who have a type of leukemia called Ph+ CML who no longer benefit from or did not tolerate other treatment. When you download materials from the Patient Support and Resources page on you ll find resources to help you get started with your new medicine. With these tools in hand, you can: Discover more about your disease and why BOSULIF may be right for you Use the Side Effect Management Worksheet to learn about some side effect management tips to discuss with your doctor Use the Monthly Tracker booklet to keep track of your doctor visits, other medicines, and side effects Remember to always speak with your doctor if you have questions about this or other medicines you take. 3

4 What is the goal of treatment for CML? Chronic phase (CP): Less than 10% of cancer cells in blood or bone marrow Accelerated phase (AP): 10% to 19% of cancer cells in blood or bone marrow Blast phase (BP): Greater than or equal to 20% of cancer cells in blood or bone marrow CML has 3 phases: CP, AP, and BP. Most patients are diagnosed in CP, so the goal of treatment is to control the disease in CP and keep it from getting worse for as long as possible. To do this, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used to slow the growth of CML cells. There are 3 types of responses that your doctor will measure to see if you are meeting treatment goals: Types of responses in CML Hematologic response Cytogenetic response Molecular response A return of blood cells to normal levels, a decrease of immature cells in peripheral blood (blood outside the bones), and no signs and symptoms of the disease A decrease in the number of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosomes in blood or bone marrow cells A decrease in the amount of Bcr-Abl messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) in blood or bone marrow cells 4

5 What are the treatment milestones for CML? The following is a general set of recommendations for monitoring CML treatment that may be used for some patients. These are based on the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines In Oncology (NCCN Guidelines ) for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (V ). a Follow-up point 3 months 6 months b 12 months 18 months Treatment milestone 10% or less of Bcr-Abl detected in the blood OR Partial cytogenetic response in bone marrow 10% or less of Bcr-Abl detected in the blood OR Partial cytogenetic response in bone marrow Complete cytogenetic response No Ph chromosomes detected in the bone marrow Complete cytogenetic response No Ph chromosomes detected in the bone marrow 1% to 35% Ph chromosomes detected in the bone marrow 1% to 35% Ph chromosomes detected in the bone marrow b 6-month evaluation not needed if 3-month milestone is achieved. If tests at any of these follow-up points, or others not listed, show that you are not meeting your treatment milestones, your doctor may select a different treatment or adjust your dose. To get the most out of any treatment, it is important for you to always take your medicine as your doctor prescribed. a Referenced with permission from the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines ) for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia V National Comprehensive Cancer Network, Inc.

6 What is resistance? a Resistance is when a disease fails to respond or stops responding to a given therapy. Your doctor will schedule regular check-ups to measure your response to therapy. This will be done using blood and bone marrow tests. Resistance can occur at any time during treatment, even if you have been taking your medication successfully for several years. Because of this, resistance may be a possible cause for not meeting treatment goals. There are 2 types of resistance: Primary resistance is when you do not respond when first starting treatment Secondary resistance is when you lose your response or stop responding later in treatment Resistance is often, but not always, the result of mutations in the Bcr-Abl gene that causes Ph+ CML. What is intolerance? b Intolerance is when a patient can no longer take his or her current medicine due to unmanageable side effects. If your side effects are severe, occur too often, or are damaging to your health, your doctor may switch you to another medicine. However, having side effects does not always mean that treatment should be switched. Often, your doctor will be able to treat or manage side effects (for example, by reducing your dose) without having to switch your medicine for Ph+ CML. Always tell your doctor or nurse if you have side effects, even if you think they aren t serious. a References: 1. American Cancer Society. Leukemia chronic myeloid (myelogenous) overview.

7 The importance of taking your CML medicine as prescribed While resistance and intolerance may lead to treatment not working as expected, there s another critical issue: taking your medicine exactly as your doctor prescribed. Skipping doses or taking less medicine may affect your response to treatment. In fact, several studies have shown that patients with CML who do not take their medicine as prescribed are more likely to experience poor response and treatment outcomes. That s why it is very important to stick to the prescribed dose of your CML medicine. If you ever have questions about how much BOSULIF to take, talk with your doctor. See pages for more tips that may help you take BOSULIF as your doctor prescribed. If you are interested in co-pay support or financial assistance for BOSULIF, turn to pages

18 What were the clinical trial results for BOSULIF? BOSULIF was studied in adult patients with Ph+ CML in: CP who had been treated with 1 prior TKI CP who had been treated with 2 or more prior therapies AP or BP who had been treated with at least 1 prior TKI To see if BOSULIF worked in the clinical trial, doctors looked at patients blood and bone marrow samples regularly. In patients in CP, response was measured by the decrease in the number of white blood cells (WBCs) that had the Philadelphia chromosome. This is called cytogenetic response. A major cytogenetic response (MCyR) is when the medicine reduces the number of patients WBCs with the Philadelphia chromosome to less than or equal to 35%. In patients in AP and BP, response was measured by overall hematologic response (OHR). 18

19 What were the clinical trial results for BOSULIF? (cont d) Efficacy results Patients in CP who had been treated with 1 prior TKI (Gleevec [imatinib]) At 6 months from the start of therapy with BOSULIF, 34% of these patients had an MCyR When these patients were followed for a longer period (at least 23 months), 53% of patients achieved an MCyR at some point during that period Patients in CP who had been treated with 2 or more prior TKIs By 6 months from the start of therapy with BOSULIF, 27% of these patients had an MCyR When these patients were followed for a longer period (at least 13 months), 32% of patients achieved an MCyR at some point during that period Patients in AP or BP who had been treated with at least 1 prior TKI When patients were followed for 11 months, 55% of patients in AP achieved an OHR at some point during that period When patients were followed for 11 months, 28% of patients in BP achieved an OHR at some point during that period Gleevec is a registered trademark of Novartis AG. 19

28 FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE BOSULIF is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with chronic, accelerated, or blast phase Philadelphia chromosomepositive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Recommended Dosing The recommended dose and schedule of BOSULIF is 500 mg orally once daily with food. Continue treatment with BOSULIF until disease progression or patient intolerance. If a dose is missed beyond 12 hours, the patient should skip the dose and take the usual prescribed dose on the following day. 2.2 Dose Escalation Consider dose escalation to 600 mg once daily with food in patients who do not reach complete hematological response (CHR) by week 8 or a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) by week 12, who did not have Grade 3 or higher adverse reactions, and who are currently taking 500 mg daily. 2.3 Dose Adjustments for Non-Hematologic Adverse Reactions Elevated liver transaminases: If elevations in liver transaminases greater than 5 institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) occur, withhold BOSULIF until recovery to less than or equal to 2.5 ULN and resume at 400 mg once daily thereafter. If recovery takes longer than 4 weeks, discontinue BOSULIF. If transaminase elevations greater than or equal to 3 ULN occur concurrently with bilirubin elevations greater than 2 ULN and alkaline phosphatase less than 2 ULN (Hy s law case definition), discontinue BOSULIF [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Diarrhea: For NCI CTCAE Grade 3-4 diarrhea (increase of greater than or equal to 7 stools/day over baseline/pretreatment), withhold BOSULIF until recovery to Grade less than or equal to 1. BOSULIF may be resumed at 400 mg once daily [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. For other clinically significant, moderate or severe non-hematological toxicity, withhold BOSULIF until the toxicity has resolved, then consider resuming BOSULIF at 400 mg once daily. If clinically appropriate, consider re-escalating the dose of BOSULIF to 500 mg once daily. 2.4 Dose Adjustments for Myelosuppression Dose reductions for severe or persistent neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are described below (Table 1). Table 1: Dose Adjustments for Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia ANC a less than 1000x10 6 /L or Platelets less than 50,000x10 6 /L Withhold BOSULIF until ANC greater than or equal to1000x10 6 /L and platelets greater than or equal to 50,000x10 6 /L. Resume treatment with BOSULIF at the same dose if recovery occurs within 2 weeks. If blood counts remain low for greater than 2 weeks, upon recovery, reduce dose by 100 mg and resume treatment. If cytopenia recurs, reduce dose by an additional 100 mg upon recovery and resume treatment. a Absolute Neutrophil Count Doses less than 300 mg/day have not been evaluated. 2.5 Concomitant Use With CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid the concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A and/or P-gp inhibitors with BOSULIF as an increase in bosutinib plasma concentration is expected (strong CYP3A inhibitors include ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir, ketoconazole, boceprevir, telaprevir, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone and conivaptan. Moderate CYP3A inhibitors include fluconazole, darunavir, erythromycin, diltiazem, atazanavir, aprepitant, amprenavir, fosamprevir, crizotinib, imatinib, verapamil, grapefruit products and ciprofloxacin) [see Drug Interactions (7.1)]. 2.6 Concomitant Use With CYP3A Inducers Avoid the concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers with BOSULIF as a large reduction in exposure is expected (strong CYP3A inducers include rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, St. John s Wort, rifabutin and phenobarbital. Moderate CYP3A inducers include bosentan, nafcillin, efavirenz, modafinil and etravirine) [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]. 2.7 Hepatic Impairment In patients with pre-existing mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment, the recommended dose of BOSULIF is 200 mg daily. A daily dose of 200 mg in patients with hepatic impairment is predicted to result in an area under the concentration curve 2

29 (AUC) similar to the AUC seen in patients with normal hepatic function receiving 500 mg daily. However, there are no clinical data for efficacy at the dose of 200 mg once daily in patients with hepatic impairment and CML [see Use in Special Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 2.8 Renal Impairment In patients with pre-existing severe renal impairment (CLcr less than 30 ml/min), the recommended dose of BOSULIF is 300 mg daily. A daily dose of 300 mg in patients with severe renal impairment is predicted to result in an area under the concentration curve (AUC) similar to the AUC seen in patients with normal renal function receiving 500 mg daily. However, there are no clinical data for efficacy at the dose of 300 mg once daily in patients with severe renal impairment and CML [see Use in Special Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS 100 mg tablets: yellow, oval, biconvex, film-coated tablets debossed with Pfizer on one side and 100 on the other. 500 mg tablets: red, oval, biconvex, film-coated tablets debossed with Pfizer on one side and 500 on the other. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Hypersensitivity to BOSULIF. In the BOSULIF clinical trials, anaphylactic shock occurred in less than 0.2% of treated patients. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Gastrointestinal Toxicity Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain occur with BOSULIF treatment. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, and/or fluid replacement. In the single-arm Phase 1/2 clinical trial, the median time to onset for diarrhea (all grades) was 2 days and the median duration per event was 1 day. Among the patients who experienced diarrhea, the median number of episodes of diarrhea per patient during treatment with BOSULIF was 3 (range 1-221). To manage gastrointestinal toxicity, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6)]. 5.2 Myelosuppression Thrombocytopenia, anemia and neutropenia occur with BOSULIF treatment. Patients with CML who are receiving BOSULIF should have a complete blood count performed weekly for the first month and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. To manage myelosuppression, withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Adverse Reactions (6)]. 5.3 Hepatic Toxicity One case consistent with drug induced liver injury (defined as concurrent elevations in ALT or AST greater than or equal to 3 ULN with total bilirubin greater than 2 ULN and alkaline phosphatase less than 2 ULN) occurred in a trial of BOSULIF in combination with letrozole. The patient recovered fully following discontinuation of BOSULIF. This case represented 1 out of 1209 patients in BOSULIF clinical trials. In the 546 patients from the safety population, the incidence of ALT elevation was 17% and AST elevation was 14 %. Twenty percent of the patients experienced an increase in either ALT or AST. Most cases of transaminase elevations occurred early in treatment; of patients who experienced transaminase elevations of any grade, more than 80% experienced their first event within the first 3 months. The median time to onset of increased ALT and AST was 30 and 33 days, respectively, and the median duration for each was 21 days. Perform monthly hepatic enzyme tests for the first three months of treatment with BOSULIF and as clinically indicated. In patients with transaminase elevations, monitor liver enzymes more frequently. Withhold, dose reduce, or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6)]. 5.4 Fluid Retention Fluid retention occurs with BOSULIF and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. In the single-arm Phase 1/2 clinical trial in 546 patients with CML treated with prior therapy, severe fluid retention was reported in 14 patients (3%). Specifically, 9 patients had a Grade 3 or 4 pleural effusion, 3 patients experienced both Grade 3 or Grade 4 pleural and pericardial effusions, 1 patient experienced Grade 3 peripheral and pulmonary edema, and 1 patient had a Grade 3 edema. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, dose reduce or discontinue BOSULIF as necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6)]. 5.5 Embryofetal Toxicity There are no adequate and well controlled studies of BOSULIF in pregnant women. BOSULIF can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Bosutinib caused embryofetal toxicities in rabbits at maternal exposures that were greater than the clinical exposure at the recommended bosutinib dose of 500 mg/day. Females of reproductive potential should be advised to avoid pregnancy while being treated with BOSULIF. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)]. 3

30 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Gastrointestinal toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Myelosuppression [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Hepatic toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Fluid retention [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]. 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. Serious adverse reactions reported include anaphylactic shock [see Contraindications (4)], myelosuppression, gastrointestinal toxicity (diarrhea), fluid retention, hepatotoxicity and rash. Adverse reactions of any toxicity grade reported for greater than 20% of patients in the Phase 1/2 safety population (n=546) were diarrhea (82%), nausea (46%), thrombocytopenia (41%), vomiting (39%), abdominal pain (37%), rash (35%), anemia (27%), pyrexia (26%), and fatigue (24%). 6.1 Imatinib-Resistant or -Intolerant Ph+ Chronic Phase (CP), Accelerated Phase (AP), and Blast Phase (BP) CML The single-arm Phase 1/2 clinical trial enrolled patients with Ph+ chronic, accelerated, or blast phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. The safety population (received at least 1 dose of BOSULIF) included 546 CML patients. Within the safety population there were 287 patients with CP CML previously treated with imatinib only who had a median duration of BOSULIF treatment of 24 months, and a median dose intensity of 484 mg/day. There were 119 patients with CP CML previously treated with both imatinib and at least 1 additional TKI who had a median duration of BOSULIF treatment of 9 months and a median dose intensity of 475 mg/day. There were 76 patients with AP CML, and 64 patients with BP CML. In the patients with AP CML and BP CML, the median duration of BOSULIF treatment was 10 months and 3 months, respectively. The median dose intensity was 483 mg/day, and 500 mg/day, in the AP CML and BP CML cohorts, respectively. Table 2 identifies adverse reactions greater than or equal to 10% for all grades and grades 3 or 4 for the Phase 1/2 CML safety population.
