Summary of the safety profile AML The safety evaluation of Rydapt (50 mg twice daily) in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML is based on a phase III, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 717 patients. The overall median duration of exposure was 42 days (range 2 to 576 days) for patients in the Rydapt plus standard chemotherapy arm versus 34 days (range 1 to 465 days) for patients in the placebo plus standard chemotherapy arm. For the 205 patients (120 in Rydapt arm and 85 in placebo arm) who entered the maintenance phase, the median duration of exposure in maintenance was 11 months for both arms (16 to 520 days for patients in the Rydapt arm and 22 to 381 days in the placebo arm). The most frequent adverse reactions (ARs) in the Rydapt arm were febrile neutropenia (83.4%), nausea (83.4%), exfoliative dermatitis (61.6%), vomiting (60.7%), headache (45.9%), petechiae (35.8%) and pyrexia (34.5%). The most frequent Grade 3/4 ARs were febrile neutropenia (83.5%), lymphopenia (20.0%), device-related infection (15.7%), exfoliative dermatitis (13.6%), hyperglycaemia (7.0%) and nausea (5.8%). The most frequent laboratory abnormalities were haemoglobin decreased (97.3%), ANC decreased (86.7%), ALT increased (84.2%), AST increased (73.9%) and hypokalaemia (61.7%). The most frequent Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities were ANC decreased (85.8%), haemoglobin decreased (78.5%), ALT increased (19.4%) and hypokalaemia (13.9%). Serious ARs occurred at similar rates in patients in the Rydapt versus the placebo arm. The most frequent serious AR in both arms was febrile neutropenia (16%). Discontinuation due to any adverse reaction occurred in 3.1% of patients in the Rydapt arm versus 1.3% in the placebo arm. The most frequent Grade 3/4 adverse reaction leading to discontinuation in the Rydapt arm was exfoliative dermatitis (1.2%). Safety profile during maintenance phase While Table 3 provides the incidence for ARs over the total duration of the study, when the maintenance phase (single agent Rydapt or placebo) was assessed separately, a difference in the type and severity of ARs was observed. The overall incidence of ARs during the maintenance phase was generally lower than during the induction and consolidation phase. Incidences of ARs were, however, higher in the Rydapt arm than in the placebo arm during the maintenance phase. ARs occurring more often in the midostaurin arm versus placebo during maintenance included: nausea (46.4% versus 1

Midostaurin undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism mainly through CYP3A4 enzymes which are either induced or inhibited by a number of concomitant medicinal products. Effect of other medicinal products on Rydapt Medicinal products or substances known to affect the activity of CYP3A4 may affect the plasma concentrations of midostaurin and therefore the safety and/or efficacy of Rydapt. Strong CYP3A4 inducers Concomitant use of Rydapt with strong inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g. carbamazepine, rifampicin, enzalutamide, phenytoin, St. John’s Wort [Hypericum perforatum]) is contraindicated (see section 4.3). Strong CYP3A4 inducers decrease exposure of midostaurin and its active metabolites (CGP52421 and CGP62221). In a study in healthy subjects, co-administration of the strong CYP3A4 inducer rifampicin (600 mg daily) to steady state with a 50 mg single dose of midostaurin decreased midostaurin Cmax by 73% and AUCinf by 96% on average, respectively. CGP62221 exhibited a similar pattern. The mean AUClast of CGP52421 decreased by 60%. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase midostaurin blood concentrations. In a study with 36 healthy subjects, co-administration of the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole to steady state with a single dose of 50 mg midostaurin led to a significant increase in midostaurin exposure (1.8-fold Cmax increase and 10-fold AUCinf increase) and 3.5-fold increase in AUCinf of CGP62221, while the Cmax of the active metabolites (CGP62221 and CGP52421) decreased by half (see section 5.2). At steady state of midostaurin (50 mg twice daily for 21 days), with the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor itraconazole at steady state in a subset of patients (N=7), midostaurin steady-state exposure (Cmin) was increased by 2.09-fold. Cmin of CGP52421 was increased by 1.3-fold, whereas no significant effect in exposure of CGP62221 was observed (see section 4.4). Effect of Rydapt on other medicinal products Substrates of CYP enzymes In healthy subjects, co-administration of a single dose of bupropion (CYP2B6 substrate) with multiple doses of midostaurin (50 mg twice daily) at steady state decreased bupropion AUCinf and AUClast by 48% and 49% respectively and Cmax by 55% compared to administration of bupropion alone. This indicates that midostaurin is a mild inducer of CYP2B6. Medicinal products with a narrow therapeutic range that are substrates of CYP2B6 (e.g. bupropion or efavirenz) should be used with caution when administered concomitantly with

Women of childbearing potential Women of childbearing potential should be informed that animal studies show midostaurin to be harmful to the developing foetus. Sexually active women of childbearing potential are advised to have a pregnancy test within 7 days prior to starting treatment with Rydapt and that they should use effective contraception (methods that result in less than 1% pregnancy rates) when using Rydapt and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment with Rydapt. Pregnancy Midostaurin can cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Reproductive studies in rats and rabbits demonstrated that midostaurin induced foetotoxicity (see section 5.3). Rydapt is not recommended during pregnancy or in women of childbearing potential not using contraception. Pregnant women should be advised of the potential risk to the foetus. Breast-feeding It is unknown whether midostaurin or its active metabolites are excreted in human milk. Available animal data have shown that midostaurin and its active metabolites pass into the milk of lactating rats. Breast-feeding should be discontinued during treatment with Rydapt and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment. Fertility There are no data on the effect of Rydapt on human fertility. Animal studies with midostaurin have shown impaired fertility (see section 5.3). 8

Neutropenia and infections Neutropenia has occurred in patients receiving Rydapt as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy (see section 4.8). Severe neutropenia (ANC <0.5 x 109/l) was generally reversible by withholding Rydapt until recovery and discontinuation in the ASM, SM-AHN and MCL studies. White blood cell counts (WBCs) should be monitored regularly, especially at treatment initiation. In patients who develop unexplained severe neutropenia, treatment with Rydapt should be interrupted until ANC is ≥1.0 x 109/l, as recommended in Tables 1 and 2. Rydapt should be discontinued in patients who develop recurrent or prolonged severe neutropenia that is suspected to be related to Rydapt (see section 4.2). Any active serious infection should be under control prior to starting treatment with Rydapt monotherapy. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of infection, including any device-related infections, and if a diagnosis of infection is made appropriate treatment must be instituted promptly, including, as needed, the discontinuation of Rydapt. 5 Cardiac dysfunction Patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure were excluded from clinical studies. In the ASM, SM-AHN and MCL studies cardiac dysfunction such as congestive heart failure (CHF) (including some fatalities) and transient decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) occurred. In the randomised AML study no difference in CHF was observed between the Rydapt + chemotherapy and placebo + chemotherapy arms. In patients at risk, Rydapt should be used with caution and the patient closely monitored by assessing LVEF when clinically indicated (at baseline and during treatment). An increased frequency of QTc prolongation was noted in midostaurin–treated patients (see section 4.8), however, a mechanistic explanation for this observation was not found. Caution is warranted in patients at risk of QTc prolongation (e.g. due to concomitant medicinal products and/or electrolyte disturbances). Interval assessments of QT by ECG should be considered if Rydapt is taken concurrently with medicinal products that can prolong QT interval. Pulmonary toxicity Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pneumonitis, in some cases fatal, have occurred in patients treated with Rydapt monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy. Patients should be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD or pneumonitis and Rydapt discontinu
