5 Warnings and Precautions

WARNINGS

(Additions and/or revisions are underlined)

Evaluate patients with repeated severe myelosuppression for thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) or nucleotide diphosphatase (NUDT15) deficiency. TPMT genotyping or phenotyping (red blood cell TPMT activity) and NUDT15 genotyping can identify patients who have reduced activity of these enzymes. Patients with homozygous TPMT or NUDT15 deficiency require substantial dosage reductions.

PRECAUTIONS

(Additions and/or revisions are underlined)

General

Administration of live vaccines to immunocompromised patients should be avoided.

Laboratory Tests

Consider testing for TPMT and NUDT15 deficiency in patients who experience severe bone marrow toxicities or repeated episodes of myelosuppression.
