4.2    Posology and method of administration

Onureg treatment should be initiated and monitored under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of chemotherapeutic medicinal products.

Patients are to be treated with an anti-emetic 30 minutes prior to each dose of Onureg for the first 2 treatment cycles. Anti-emetic prophylaxis may be omitted after 2 cycles, if there has been no nausea and vomiting (see section 4.4).

Posology
The recommended dose is 300 mg azacitidine orally once daily. Each repeated cycle consists of a treatment period of 14 days followed by a treatment free period of 14 days (28-day treatment cycle).

Onureg treatment should be continued until no more than 15% blasts are observed in peripheral blood or bone marrow or until unacceptable toxicity (see dose schedule modification guidance for disease relapse).

Onureg should not be used interchangeably with injectable azacitidine due to differences in the exposure, dose and schedule of treatment. Healthcare professionals are recommended to verify the name of the medicinal product, dose and administration route.

Laboratory tests
Complete blood counts should be performed prior to initiation of therapy. Complete blood count monitoring is also recommended every other week for the first 2 cycles (56 days), every other week for the next 2 cycles after dose adjustment, and monthly thereafter, prior to the start of subsequent cycles of treatment (see section 4.4).

Dose schedule modification for AML disease relapse
In the case of disease relapse, with 5% to 15% blasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow, in conjunction with a clinical assessment, an extension of the dosing schedule from 14 to 21 days of repeated 28-day cycles should be considered. Dosing should not exceed 21 days during any 28-day period. Onureg should be discontinued if more than 15% blasts are observed in either the peripheral blood or bone marrow or at the physician’s discretion.

Dose adjustment for adverse reactions
Dose modification guidelines for haematologic and non-haematologic adverse reactions are recommended based on clinical and laboratory findings (see Table 1).

Missed or delayed doses
If a dose of Onureg is missed, or not taken at the usual time, the dose should be taken as soon as possible on the same day. Then, the next scheduled dose should be taken at the normal time the following day. Two doses should not be taken on the same day.

If a dose is vomited, another dose must not be taken on the same day. Instead return to the normal time of dose administration the following day.

Special populations

Elderly patients
No dose adjustments are recommended for patients over 65 years of age (see section 5.2).
Renal impairment
Onureg can be administered to patients with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment without initial dose adjustment (see section 5.2).

No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin (BIL) ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > ULN, or BIL 1 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST) (see section 5.2).

Patients with moderate (BIL > 1.5 to 3 × ULN) and severe hepatic impairment (BIL > 3 × ULN) should be monitored more frequently for adverse reactions and appropriate dose adjustment should be made (see Table 1).
