HIGHLIGHTS OF PRESCRIBING INFORMATION • Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes have been observed. Consider These highlights do not include all the information needed to use cardiovascular monitoring precautions in patients with congenital long ISTODAX safely and effectively. See full prescribing information for QT syndrome, a history of significant cardiovascular disease, and ISTODAX. patients taking medicinal products that lead to significant QT prolongation (5.3). ISTODAX® (romidepsin) for injection • Based on its , ISTODAX may cause fetal harm For intravenous infusion only when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise women of potential Initial US Approval: 2009 harm to the fetus (5.4, 8.1). • ISTODAX binds to estrogen receptors. Advise women of childbearing ------INDICATIONS AND USAGE------potential that ISTODAX may reduce the effectiveness of estrogen- containing contraceptives (5.5). ISTODAX is a (HDAC) inhibitor indicated for:

The most common adverse reactions in Study 1 were , , , , and , and in Study 2 were nausea, fatigue, ------DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION------, , ECG T-wave changes, neutropenia, and • 14 mg/m2 administered intravenously (IV) over a 4-hour period on days lymphopenia (6). 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Repeat cycles every 28 days provided that the patient continues to benefit from and tolerates the drug (2.1).

------DRUG INTERACTIONS------DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS------• Carefully monitor prothrombin time (PT) and International Normalized ISTODAX for injection, 10 mg, supplied with one Diluent vial containing Ratio (INR) in patients concurrently administered ISTODAX and 2 mL (deliverable volume) of solution (3) Coumadin derivatives (7.1). • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase concentrations of ISTODAX ------CONTRAINDICATIONS------and should be avoided (7.2). None. • Potent CYP3A4 inducers may decrease concentrations of ISTODAX and should be avoided (7.2). ------WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS------• Due to the risk of QT prolongation ensure that potassium and See 17 for PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION AND FDA- magnesium are within the normal range before administration of approved patient labeling. ISTODAX (5.1). • Treatment with ISTODAX has been associated with thrombocytopenia, (neutropenia and lymphopenia), and anemia; therefore, monitor these hematological parameters during treatment with Revised: Month/2009 ISTODAX, modify the dose as necessary (5.2).
