Also, you will find a worksheet on page 30 of your brochure. This worksheet contains tips to help manage common side effects, as well as space to write down any additional notes. Why have I been prescribed BOSULIF? BOSULIF is 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. Keep in mind that BOSULIF may not work the same for everyone. It is not known if BOSULIF is safe and works in children less than 18 years of age. BOSULIF is part of a group of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). You may have taken similar medications in the past. Your doctor may have changed your medicines because they either stopped working or their side effects became unmanageable. Now you have been prescribed BOSULIF as your next treatment for CML. To learn more about how BOSULIF was studied, visit 4 Please see Important Safety Information for patients on pages and full Prescribing Information, including Patient Information, beginning on page 31.

5 Getting started on BOSULIF (bosutinib) Why am I starting BOSULIF???? There are a few possible reasons why your doctor may have changed your medication; two are discussed below. Keep in mind that it s possible for the same issues to occur with BOSULIF. Resistance is when your disease fails to respond or stops responding to a given therapy. It can occur at any time during treatment, even if you have been taking your medication successfully for several years. 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. Always tell your doctor or nurse when you have side effects, even if you think they aren t serious. Another factor to consider Not taking your medicine as prescribed can impact how it works. It is important to take your medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. See pages for more tips that may help you take BOSULIF as your doctor prescribed. 5 Please see Important Safety Information for patients on pages and full Prescribing Information, including Patient Information, beginning on page 31.

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 reescalating 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

33 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 Recommended Starting Dosage with Hepatic Impairment or Renal Impairment Organ Function Status Recommended Starting Dosage Normal hepatic and renal function 500 mg once daily Hepatic impairment Mild (Child-Pugh A), Moderate (Child-Pugh B) or 200 mg daily severe (Child-Pugh C) Renal impairment Creatinine clearance 30 to 50 ml/min 400 mg daily Creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min 300 mg daily [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6,8.7) 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 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. Perform complete blood counts weekly for the first month of therapy 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 hepatic enzyme tests monthly for the first three months of BOSULIF treatment 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)]. 3

34 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 Renal Toxicity An on-treatment decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr) has occurred in patients treated with BOSULIF. Table 2 identifies the shift from baseline to lowest observed estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr) during BOSULIF therapy for patients in the global Ph+ Leukemia studies. The median duration of therapy with BOSULIF was approximately 17 months (range, 0.03 to 95) for patients in these studies. Table 2: Shift from Baseline to Lowest Observed egfr Group During Treatment Safety Population in Clinical Studies (n=818)* Baseline Follow Up Renal Function Status n Normal n (%) Mild n (%) Mild to Moderate n (%) Moderate to Severe n (%) Severe n (%) Kidney Failure n (%) Normal (19) 174 (64) 30 (11) 14 (5) 1 (<1) 1 (<1) Mild (2) 170 (39) 177 (40) 63 (14) 14 (3) 2 (1) Mild to Moderate (5) 28 (35) 37 (47) 10 (13) 0 Moderate to Severe (4) 1 (4) 6 (25) 15 (63) 1 (4) Severe (100) Total (8) 349 (43) 236 (29) 120 (15) 40 (5) 5 (1) Notes: Grading is based on Modification in Diet in Renal Disease method (MDRD). KDIGO Classification by egfr: Normal: greater than or equal to 90, Mild: 60 to less than 90, Mild to Moderate: 45 to less than 60, Moderate to Severe: 30 to less than 45, Severe: 15 to less than 30, Kidney Failure: less than 15 ml/min/1.73 m 2. *Among the 818 patients, egfr was missing in 5 patients at baseline or on-therapy. There were no patients with kidney failure at baseline. Monitor renal function at baseline and during therapy with BOSULIF, with particular attention to those patients who have preexisting renal impairment or risk factors for renal dysfunction. Consider dose adjustment in patients with baseline and treatment emergent renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.7)]. 5.6 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)]. 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)]. Renal toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]. 4

35 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. 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%) [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Adverse Reactions in Patients with Imatinib-Resistant or -Intolerant Ph+ Chronic Phase (CP), Accelerated Phase (AP), and Blast Phase (BP) CML The single-arm Phase 1/2 clinical trial (Study 1) enrolled patients with Ph+ chronic, accelerated, or blast phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy [see Clinical Studies (14)]. The safety population (received at least 1 dose of BOSULIF) included 546 CML patients: 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. 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. 140 patients with advanced phase CML including 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 3 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. Table 3: Adverse Reactions (10% or Greater) in Patients with CML in Study 1 Chronic Phase CML N=406 Advanced Phase CML N=140 All Grades (%) Grade 3/4 (%) All Grades (%) Grade 3/4 (%) Diarrhea Nausea Abdominal Pain a Thrombocytopenia Vomiting Rash b Fatigue c Anemia Pyrexia 22 < Increased alanine aminotransferase Headache Cough Increased aspartate aminotransferase Neutropenia Edema d 14 <
