FDA Approval Summary: Mylotarg for Treatment of Patients with Relapsed or Refractory CD33‐Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia

AbstractOn September 2, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO; Mylotarg; Pfizer, New York City, NY) for treatment of relapsed or refractory (R/R) CD33‐positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in patients 2 years of age and older. GO is a CD33‐directed antibody drug conjugate linked to the cytotoxic antibiotic calicheamicin. It originally received accelerated approval for treatment of older patients with relapsed CD33‐positive AML in 2000, but it was withdrawn from the market in 2010 when the confirmatory trial failed to demonstrate clinical benefit among safety concerns, such as a higher rate of induction fatalities on the GO combination arm compared with chemotherapy alone. In addition, GO was associated with hepatic veno‐occlusive disease (VOD), which has substantial morbidity and mortality. Pharmacokinetic analyses suggested a lower maximum concentration of GO would result in less VOD without affecting target saturation or efficacy. A meta‐analysis across dose schedules of GO in patients with R/R AML showed that a lower‐dose "fractionated" schedule of 3 mg/m2 days 1, 4, and 7 was associated with less early mortality, hemorrhage, and VOD, without an apparent decrease in complete remission (CR) rate. MyloFrance 1 was a single‐arm study evaluating response rates in patients with relapsed CD33‐positive AML treated with the lower‐dose fractionated GO regimen. The CR rate was 26% (95% confidence interval 16%–40%). Common adverse reactions were fever, infections, nausea, vomiting, constipation, bleeding, increased liver enzymes, and mucositis. There were no cases of VOD. These results supported the approval of GO as monotherapy for R/R CD33‐positive AML using the lower‐dose fractionated regimen.Implications for Practice.Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) 3 mg/m2 days 1, 4, and 7 is an active regimen for induction of remission when used to treat patients with relapsed or refractory CD33‐positive acute myeloid leukemia without curative intent. The risks of hepatic veno‐occlusive disease and early mortality with this regimen appear to be lower than reported previously for GO 9 mg/m2 days 1 and 15. The data were not sufficient to enable conclusions about the safety of GO in children younger than 2 years of age.
