ORR represents the percentage of patients whose best overall response was a major response (defined as complete resolution of ≥1 C-finding) or a partial response (defined as >50% improvement in ≥1 C-finding [good partial response] or as >20% to ≤50% improvement in ≥1 C-finding [minor partial response]).2

Median time to response was 0.3 months (range: 0.1-3.7 months)1

Activity was observed independent of the number of prior therapies and presence or absence of an AHN1

Confirmed responses were observed in both KIT D816V mutation–positive patients (ORR 63%) and patients with KIT D816V wild-type or unknown mutation status (ORR 43.8%)1

46% of patients had a decrease in bone marrow infiltration that exceeded 50%1


58% had a decrease in serum tryptase levels that exceeded 50%1


68.9% of patients had spleen volume decrease by ≥10% in at least 1 postbaseline assessment (26.7% of patients had a reduction of ≥35%, which correlates with a 50% decrease by palpation)1

Response to RYDAPT was determined using a computational algorithm applied without any adjudication. Out of 116 patients, 113 had a C-finding as defined by IWG response criteria (excluding ascites as a C-finding). All responses were considered and required a 12-week confirmation. Patients who received non-study antineoplastic therapy were censored at the time of the new therapy.1

The RYDAPT supportive study (A2213) was a single-arm, multicentre, open-label, phase 2 study of 26 patients with advanced SM1

The primary endpoint was ORR evaluated by the Valent criteria during the first 2 cycles of treatment

The median duration of follow-up was 73 months

Responses for patients with advanced SM in the supportive study:
73% of patients (19 of 26) achieved a response in the first 2 cycles of treatment1

Supportive study: a single-arm, multicentre, open-label, phase 2 trial of 26 patients with advanced SM (A2213). RYDAPT was administered orally at 100 mg twice daily in 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was ORR evaluated by the Valent criteria during the first 2 cycles of treatment. The median duration of follow-up was 73 months, and the median DOR was not reached. Median OS was 40.0 months (patients were only followed for 1 year after treatment discontinuation for survival).1

BASIC SUCCINCT STATEMENT FOR RYDAPT® (midostaurin) CAPSULES

 

Important note: Before prescribing, consult full prescribing information of RYDAPT.

Presentation: Soft capsules containing 25 mg of midostaurin.

Indications: Rydapt® is indicated 

  • in combination with standard daunorubicin and cytarabine induction and high-dose cytarabine consolidation chemotherapy, and for patients in complete response followed by Rydapt single agent maintenance therapy, for adult patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are FLT3 mutation-positive
  • as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with associated haematological neoplasm (SM AHN), or mast cell leukaemia (MCL)

Dosage and administration:

AML Adults: Recommended dose is 50 mg orally twice daily. Rydapt is dosed on days 8 to 21 of induction and consolidation chemotherapy, and then for patients in complete response twice daily as a single agent maintenance until relapse for 12 cycles of 28 days each.

Advanced SM Adults: Recommended dose is 100 mg twice daily.

Dose modifications: Management of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) may require treatment interruption, dose reduction or treatment discontinuation.

Special populations:

  • Renal impairment: Mild or moderate: no dose adjustment required. Severe or end stage renal disease: No data
  • Hepatic impairment: Mild or moderate: no dose adjustment required. Severe: No data
  • Geriatrics (≥65 years): No dose adjustment required. Patients aged ≥60 years: Rydapt should be used only in patients eligible to receive intensive induction chemotherapy with adequate performance status and without significant comorbidities
  • Pediatrics: Safety and efficacy have not been established

Contraindications: Patients with hypersensitivity to midostaurin or to any of the excipients. Concomitant administration of potent CYP3A4 inducers.

Warnings and precautions:

  • Neutropenia and infections: Rydapt can cause severe neutropenia. Consider treatment interruption or discontinuation. Monitor White Blood Cell counts regularly and especially at treatment initiation. Delay starting monotherapy with Rydapt until active serious infections have resolved. Observe and promptly manage symptoms of serious infection in patients receiving Rydapt
  • Cardiac dysfunction: Transient decreases in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Congestive Heart Failure were observed in patients treated with Rydapt in Advanced SM studies. Use Rydapt with caution in patients at risk and monitor patients by assessing LVEF when clinically indicated (at baseline and during treatment). An increased frequency of QTc prolongation was observed in Rydapt-treated patients, without an identified mechanistic explanation. Use Rydapt with caution in patients at risk and consider interval QT assessment by ECG when taken concurrently with medicines that can prolong QT interval
  • Pulmonary toxicity: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and pneumonitis have been reported during treatment with Rydapt. Monitor patients for severe pulmonary symptoms of ILD or pneumonitis and discontinue Rydapt if patients experience Grade 3 symptoms
  • Embryo-fetal toxicity and lactation: Rydapt can cause fetal harm. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise women of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment with Rydapt. Women using hormonal contraceptives should add a barrier method. Advise nursing women to discontinue breastfeeding during treatment and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment with Rydapt
  • Severe hepatic impairment: Caution is warranted in patients with severe hepatic impairment and patients should be monitored for toxicity
  • Severe renal impairment: CCaution is warranted in patients with severe renal impairment and patients should be monitored for toxicity
  • Interactions: Caution is required when concomitantly prescribing with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4
  • Excipients: Rydapt contains macrogolglycerol hydroxystearate, which may cause stomach discomfort and diarrhoea. Rydapt contains ethanol anhydrous which may be harmful in patients with alcohol related problems, epilepsy or liver problems or during pregnancy or breast feeding

Pregnancy, lactation, females of reproductive potential:

Pregnancy: Rydapt can cause fetal harm. Pregnant women should be advised of the potential risk. Rydapt is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using contraception.

Lactation: Breast-feeding should be discontinued during treatment with Rydapt and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment.

Females of reproductive potential:

  • Pregnancy testing: A pregnancy test is recommended within 7 days prior to starting treatment
  • Contraception: Sexually active females of reproductive potential should use effective contraception during treatment with Rydapt and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment

Infertility: May impair fertility.
