Mylotarg® in combination with DA Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML)
PROTOCOL REF: MPHAMDAHA
(Version No: 1.1)
Approved for use in: Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (Mylotarg®) is indicated, in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine (DA), for the treatment of previously untreated CD33-positive Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) in patients aged 15 years and over when the following conditions are met: The prescribing consultant is fully aware of the potential for Mylotarg® to induce hepatotoxicity, including veno-occlusive liver disease / sinusoidal obstruction syndrome The patient does NOT have Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APML) The patient has previously untreated AML The patient is aged 15 years or over The patient starts treatment when they have had cytogenetics performed and confirmed as favourable, intermediate or unknown cytogenetics (that is, because the test was unsuccessful), or when their cytogenetic tests are not available yet. The patient is fit for intensive induction chemotherapy Mylotarg® is to be given in combination with daunorubicin and cytarabine Note this protocol should only be used to treat patients off-trial. Refer to relevant trial protocol for enrolled patients. Exempt from NHS England treatment break policy
Blueteq registration required for Mylotarg®

**For patients experiencing a complete remission (CR) following induction, defined as fewer than 5% blasts in a normocellular marrow and an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1.0 × 109 cells/L with a platelet count of ≥100 × 109/L in the peripheral blood in the absence of transfusion, up to 2 consolidation courses can be given.
Schedule modification for hyperleukocytosis: If leukocyte count ≥30x109/L, cyto-reduction is recommended 48 hours prior to commencing Mylotarg ® in order to reduce the peripheral white cell count. See recommended changes to induction schedule below. Options for cyto-reduction include:

Leukapheresis. Oral hydroxycarbamide. Cytarabine +/- hydroxycarbamide
If Cytarabine is used for leukoreduction, (with or without hydroxycarbamide); in patients with previously untreated de novo hyperleukocytic AML, receiving Mylotarg® in combination therapy, apply the following modified schedule for the first induction cycle:
Treatment Drug Dosage Route Frequency course 2 Mylotarg® 3 mg/m /dose IV Days 3,6 and 9 (max 5mg/dose) Daunorubicin 60 mg/m2/day IV Days 3-5 Induction Cytarabine 200 mg/m2/day IV Days 1-7 Hydroxyurea 40-60mg/kg/day PO Day 1
Supportive treatments:
1. Premedication with a corticosteroid, antihistamine, and paracetamol is necessary 1 hour prior to Mylotarg® to help ameliorate infusion-related symptoms 2. Anti-hyperuricaemic treatment as per trust tumour lysis policy 3. Anti-emetics as per Trust chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting policy 4. Anti-microbials as per Trust Antimicrobial prophylaxis policy 5. Corticosteroid eye drops QDS for duration of treatment and for five days after (second induction and consolidation cycles only)
Consider avoiding posaconazole and other azoles while on Mylotarg® and for five days after Mylotarg® treatment has finished. AML 19 clinical trial protocol recommends this owing to potential risk of hepatotoxicity, but Mylotarg® SPC makes no reference to this risk, so clinical judgement should be used. Use Caspofungin as an alternative to azole prophylaxis if required.

Counselling points: Mylotarg® has moderate influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Patients should be advised they may experience fatigue, dizziness and headache during treatment with Mylotarg® (see section 4.8). Therefore, caution should be exercised when driving or operating machines.

Contraceptive advise- use at least 2 methods of contraception during treatment with Mylotarg®, and for at least 7 months (females) and 4 months (males) after the last dose.
Drug Interactions: Mylotarg®: The concomitant use of hepatotoxic drugs should be risk assessed on a patient by patient basis (e.g. azole antifungals) Based on population pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses, the combination of Mylotarg® with Daunorubicin and Cytarabine is not predicted to cause clinically meaningful changes in the PK of these agents.
Daunorubicin: Concomitant use with cardiotoxic agents is not recommended
Cytarabine: May reduce steady state concentrations of digoxin- monitoring of digoxin levels recommended
Methotrexate: Intravenous cytarabine given concomitantly with intrathecal methotrexate may increase the risk of severe neurological adverse reactions such as headache, paralysis, coma and stroke like episodes

Dose Modifications and Toxicity Management: Haematological toxicity
Induction cycle(s) to be completed regardless of neutrophil and platelet counts.
Proceed with consolidation cycle(s) if all apply:-
ANC ≥ 1.0 x 109/L Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L
If these parameters are not met- see below:
Mylotarg®
Haematological Toxicity Dose Modification Postpone start of consolidation course.
If platelet count recovers to ≥ 100 x 109/L within 14 days following the planned start date of the consolidation course: initiate consolidation therapy
If platelet count recovers to between 50-100 x 109/L and within 14 days following the planned start date of Persistent the consolidation course: Mylotarg® should not be re- thrombocytopenia introduced and consolidation therapy should consist of Platelets <100 x 109/L DA only.
If platelet count recovery remains < 50 x 109/L for greater than 14 days, takes longer than 14 days, or if platelet count does not recover to ≥ 50 x 109/L consolidation therapy should be re-evaluated and a bone marrow should be performed to re-assess the patients' status.
If neutrophil count does not recover to greater than 5 x 109/L within 14 days following the planned start date of Persistent neutropenia the consolidation cycle (14 days after haematologic ANC ≤ 1.0 x 109/L recovery following previous cycle), discontinue Mylotarg® (do not administer Mylotarg® in the consolidation cycles).

Mylotarg®:
No dose adjustment required in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. Mylotarg® has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment. Mylotarg® does not undergo renal clearance and the pharmacokinetics in patients with severe renal impairment is unknown. Dosing in renal impairment would be a clinical decision.

Use with caution-may increase risk of veno-occlusive disease.
Liver Impairment: Mylotarg® Dose Postpone Mylotarg® until recovery of total bilirubin to ≤ 2 × ULN and AST and ALT to ≤ Bilirubin >2 x ULN and 2.5 × ULN prior to each dose. AST and/or ALT >2.5 x Consider omitting scheduled dose if delayed ULN more than 2 days between sequential infusions. Note that significantly impaired hepatic function might be a sign of disease progression and require cessation or change of treatment. Hepatotoxicity, including life-threatening, and sometimes fatal hepatic failure and VOD/SOS have been reported in patients treated with Mylotarg®
Always discuss deteriorating organ function with consultant
Drug Specific Management Veno-occlusive Note Mylotarg® frequently causes a transient elevation of liver disease (VOD) function around 8-10 days following infusion. This usually settles within 2-3 days and is not usually indicative of VOD.
Signs and symptoms include: Hyperbilirubinaema, ascites, weight gain (fluid retention) and hepatomegaly.
Send for urgent doppler ultrasound of liver to assess hepatic blood flow
IV Defibrotide should be considered for a minimum of 7 days (6.25mg/kg every 6 hours- i.e. total 25mg/kg/day) If Defibrotide is required, contact your pharmacist immediately for further advice.
Infusion-related Signs and symptoms of infusion related reactions may include reactions fever and chills, and less frequently hypotension, tachycardia, and respiratory symptoms that may occur during the first 24 hours after administration. Infusion of Mylotarg® should be performed under close clinical monitoring, including pulse, blood pressure, and temperature. Premedication with a corticosteroid, antihistamine and acetaminophen (or paracetamol) is recommended 1 hour prior to Mylotarg® dosing. Infusion should be interrupted immediately for patients who develop evidence of severe reactions, especially dyspnoea, bronchospasm, or clinically significant hypotension. Patients should be monitored until signs and symptoms completely resolve. Discontinuation of treatment should be strongly considered for patients who develop signs
