`
`WARNING
`XELODA Warfarin Interaction: Patients receiving concomitant capecitabine and oral
`coumarin-derivative anticoagulant therapy should have their anticoagulant response (INR
`or prothrombin time) monitored frequently in order to adjust the anticoagulant dose
`accordingly. A clinically
`important XELODA-Warfarin drug
`interaction was
`demonstrated in a clinical pharmacology trial (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`and PRECAUTIONS). Altered coagulation parameters and/or bleeding, including death,
`have been reported in patients taking XELODA concomitantly with coumarin-derivative
`anticoagulants such as warfarin and phenprocoumon. Postmarketing reports have shown
`clinically significant increases in prothrombin time (PT) and INR in patients who were
`stabilized on anticoagulants at the time XELODA was introduced. These events occurred
`within several days and up to several months after initiating XELODA therapy and, in a
`few cases, within 1 month after stopping XELODA. These events occurred in patients
`with and without liver metastases. Age greater than 60 and a diagnosis of cancer
`independently predispose patients to an increased risk of coagulopathy.
`
`DESCRIPTION
`XELODA (capecitabine) is a fluoropyrimidine carbamate with antineoplastic activity. It
`is an orally administered systemic prodrug of 5’-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5’-DFUR) which
`is converted to 5-fluorouracil.
`The chemical name for capecitabine is 5’-deoxy-5-fluoro-N-[(pentyloxy) carbonyl]-
`cytidine and has a molecular weight of 359.35. Capecitabine has the following structural
`formula:

`Capecitabine is a white to off-white crystalline powder with an aqueous solubility of
`26 mg/mL at 20ºC.
`XELODA is supplied as biconvex, oblong film-coated tablets for oral administration.
`Each light peach-colored tablet contains 150 mg capecitabine and each peach-colored

`tablet contains 500 mg capecitabine. The inactive ingredients in XELODA include:
`anhydrous
`lactose,
`croscarmellose
`sodium,
`hydroxypropyl methylcellulose,
`microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and purified water. The peach or light
`peach film coating contains hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, talc, titanium dioxide, and
`synthetic yellow and red iron oxides.
`
`CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`XELODA is relatively non-cytotoxic in vitro. This drug is enzymatically converted to
`5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in vivo.
`
`Bioactivation
`Capecitabine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In the liver, a 60 kDa
`carboxylesterase hydrolyzes much of the compound to 5’-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine
`(5’-DFCR). Cytidine deaminase, an enzyme found in most tissues, including tumors,
`subsequently converts 5’-DFCR to 5’-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5’-DFUR). The enzyme,
`thymidine phosphorylase (dThdPase), then hydrolyzes 5’-DFUR to the active drug 5-FU.
`Many tissues throughout the body express thymidine phosphorylase. Some human
`carcinomas express this enzyme in higher concentrations than surrounding normal
`tissues.

`N5-10-methylenetetrahydrofolate, bind to thymidylate synthase (TS) to form a covalently
`bound ternary complex. This binding inhibits the formation of thymidylate from
`2’-deoxyuridylate. Thymidylate is the necessary precursor of thymidine triphosphate,
`which is essential for the synthesis of DNA, so that a deficiency of this compound can
`inhibit cell division. Second, nuclear transcriptional enzymes can mistakenly incorporate
`FUTP in place of uridine triphosphate (UTP) during the synthesis of RNA. This
`metabolic error can interfere with RNA processing and protein synthesis.
`
`Pharmacokinetics in Colorectal Tumors and Adjacent Healthy Tissue
`Following oral administration of XELODA 7 days before surgery in patients with
`colorectal cancer, the median ratio of 5-FU concentration in colorectal tumors to adjacent
`tissues was 2.9 (range from 0.9 to 8.0). These ratios have not been evaluated in breast
`cancer patients or compared to 5-FU infusion.
`
`Human Pharmacokinetics
`The pharmacokinetics of XELODA and its metabolites have been evaluated in about 200
`cancer patients over a dosage range of 500 to 3500 mg/m2/day. Over this range, the
`pharmacokinetics of XELODA and its metabolite, 5’-DFCR were dose proportional and
`did not change over time. The increases in the AUCs of 5’-DFUR and 5-FU, however,
`were greater than proportional to the increase in dose and the AUC of 5-FU was 34%
`higher on day 14 than on day 1. The elimination half-life of both parent capecitabine and
`5-FU was about ¾ of an hour. The inter-patient variability in the Cmax and AUC of 5-FU
`was greater than 85%.
`Following oral administration of 825 mg/m2 capecitabine twice daily for 14 days,
`Japanese patients (n=18) had about 36% lower Cmax and 24% lower AUC for
`capecitabine than the Caucasian patients (n=22). Japanese patients had also about 25%
`lower Cmax and 34% lower AUC for FBAL than the Caucasian patients. The clinical
`significance of these differences is unknown. No significant differences occurred in the
`exposure to other metabolites (5’-DFCR, 5’-DFUR, and 5-FU).
`
`Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion
`Capecitabine reached peak blood levels in about 1.5 hours (Tmax) with peak 5-FU levels
`occurring slightly later, at 2 hours. Food reduced both the rate and extent of absorption of
`capecitabine with mean Cmax and AUC0-∞ decreased by 60% and 35%, respectively. The
`Cmax and AUC0-∞ of 5-FU were also reduced by food by 43% and 21%, respectively.
`Food delayed Tmax of both parent and 5-FU by 1.5 hours (see PRECAUTIONS and
`DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
`Plasma protein binding of capecitabine and its metabolites is less than 60% and is not
`concentration-dependent. Capecitabine was primarily bound

`(FUPA). Finally, β-ureido-propionase cleaves FUPA to α-fluoro-β-alanine (FBAL)
`which is cleared in the urine.
`Capecitabine and its metabolites are predominantly excreted in urine; 95.5% of
`administered capecitabine dose is recovered in urine. Fecal excretion is minimal (2.6%).
`The major metabolite excreted in urine is FBAL which represents 57% of the
`administered dose. About 3% of the administered dose is excreted in urine as unchanged
`drug.
`A clinical phase 1 study evaluating the effect of XELODA on the pharmacokinetics of
`docetaxel (Taxotere®) and the effect of docetaxel on the pharmacokinetics of XELODA
`was conducted in 26 patients with solid tumors. XELODA was found to have no effect on
`the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel (Cmax and AUC) and docetaxel has no effect on the
`pharmacokinetics of capecitabine and the 5-FU precursor 5’-DFUR.
`
`Special Populations
`A population analysis of pooled data from the two large controlled studies in patients
`with metastatic colorectal cancer (n=505) who were administered XELODA at
`1250 mg/m2 twice a day indicated that gender (202 females and 303 males) and race (455
`white/Caucasian patients, 22 black patients, and 28 patients of other race) have no
`influence on the pharmacokinetics of 5’-DFUR, 5-FU and FBAL. Age has no significant
`influence on the pharmacokinetics of 5’-DFUR and 5-FU over the range of 27 to 86
`years. A 20% increase in age results in a 15% increase in AUC of FBAL (see
`WARNINGS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
`
`Hepatic Insufficiency
`XELODA has been evaluated in 13 patients with mild to moderate hepatic dysfunction
`due to liver metastases defined by a composite score including bilirubin, AST/ALT and
`alkaline phosphatase following a single 1255 mg/m2 dose of XELODA. Both AUC0-∞ and
`Cmax of capecitabine increased by 60% in patients with hepatic dysfunction compared to
`patients with normal hepatic function (n=14). The AUC0-∞ and Cmax of 5-FU were not
`affected. In patients with mild to moderate hepatic dysfunction due to liver metastases,
`caution should be exercised when XELODA is administered. The effect of severe hepatic
`dysfunction on XELODA is not known (see PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND
`ADMINISTRATION).
`
`Renal Insufficiency
`Following oral administration of 1250 mg/m2 capecitabine twice a day to cancer patients
`with varying degrees of renal impairment, patients with moderate (creatinine clearance =
`30 to 50 mL/min) and severe (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) renal impairment
`showed 85% and 258% higher systemic exposure to FBAL on day 1 compared to normal
`renal function patients (creatinine clearance >80 mL/min). Systemic exposure to
`5’-DFUR was 42% and 71% greater in moderately and severely renal impaired patients,
`respectively, than in normal patients. Systemic exposure to capecitabine was about 25%
`greater
`in both moderately
`and
`severely
`renal
`impaired patients

`Drug-Drug Interactions
`Anticoagulants
`In four patients with cancer, chronic administration of capecitabine (1250 mg/m2 bid)
`with a single 20 mg dose of warfarin increased the mean AUC of S-warfarin by 57% and
`decreased its clearance by 37%. Baseline corrected AUC of INR in these 4 patients
`increased by 2.8-fold, and the maximum observed mean INR value was increased by
`91% (see Boxed WARNING and PRECAUTIONS: Drug-Drug Interactions).
`
`Drugs Metabolized by Cytochrome P450 Enzymes
`In vitro enzymatic studies with human liver microsomes indicated that capecitabine and
`its metabolites (5’-DFUR, 5’-DFCR, 5-FU, and FBAL) had no inhibitory effects on
`substrates of cytochrome P450 for the major isoenzymes such as 1A2, 2A6, 3A4, 2C9,
`2C19, 2D6, and 2E1.
`
`Antacid
`When Maalox® (20 mL), an aluminum hydroxide- and magnesium hydroxide-containing
`antacid, was administered immediately after XELODA (1250 mg/m2, n=12 cancer
`patients), AUC and Cmax increased by 16% and 35%, respectively, for capecitabine and
`by 18% and 22%, respectively, for 5’-DFCR. No effect was observed on the other three
`major metabolites (5’-DFUR, 5-FU, FBAL) of XELODA.
`XELODA has a low potential for pharmacokinetic interactions related to plasma protein
`binding.
`
`CLINICAL STUDIES
`General
`The recommended dose of XELODA was determined in an open-label, randomized
`clinical study, exploring the efficacy and safety of continuous therapy with capecitabine
`(1331 mg/m2/day in two divided doses, n=39), intermittent therapy with capecitabine
`(2510 mg/m2/day in two divided doses, n=34), and intermittent therapy with capecitabine
`in combination with oral leucovorin (LV) (capecitabine 1657 mg/m2/day in two divided
`doses, n=35; leucovorin 60 mg/day) in patients with advanced and/or metastatic
`colorectal carcinoma in the first-line metastatic setting. There was no apparent advantage
`in response rate to adding leucovorin to XELODA; however, toxicity was increased.
`XELODA, 1250 mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days followed by a 1-week rest, was selected
`for further clinical development based on the overall safety and efficacy profile of the
`three schedules studied.

`IV leucovorin on days 1 to 5, given as 4-week cycles for a total of 6 cycles (24 weeks).
`Patients in the study were required to be between 18 and 75 years of age with
`histologically-confirmed Dukes’ stage C colon cancer with at least one positive lymph
`node and to have undergone (within 8 weeks prior to randomization) complete resection
`of the primary tumor without macroscopic or microscopic evidence of remaining tumor.

`The median follow-up at the time of the analysis was 53 months. The hazard ratio for

`upper 2-sided 95% confidence limit of hazard ratio was less than 1.20, XELODA was
`non-inferior to 5-FU/LV. The choice of the non-inferiority margin of 1.20 corresponds to
`the retention of approximately 75% of the 5-FU/LV effect on DFS.

`Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
`Data from two open-label, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trials involving
`1207 patients support the use of XELODA in the first-line treatment of patients with
`metastatic colorectal carcinoma. The two clinical studies were identical in design and
`were conducted in 120 centers in different countries. Study 1 was conducted in the US,
`Canada, Mexico, and Brazil; Study 2 was conducted in Europe, Israel, Australia, New
`Zealand, and Taiwan. Altogether, in both trials, 603 patients were randomized to
`treatment with XELODA at a dose of 1250 mg/m2 twice daily for 2 weeks followed by a
`1-week rest period and given as 3-week cycles; 604 patients were randomized to
`treatment with 5-FU and leucovorin (20 mg/m2 leucovorin IV followed by 425 mg/m2 IV
`bolus 5-FU, on days 1 to 5, every 28 days).
`In both trials, overall survival, time to progression and response rate (complete plus
`partial responses) were assessed. Responses were defined by the World Health
`Organization criteria and submitted to a blinded independent review committee (IRC).
`Differences in assessments between the investigator and IRC were reconciled by the
`sponsor, blinded to treatment arm, according to a specified algorithm. Survival was
`assessed based on a non-inferiority analysis.
`The baseline demographics for XELODA and 5-FU/LV patients are shown in Table 4.

`XELODA was superior to 5-FU/LV for objective response rate in Study 1 and Study 2.
`The similarity of XELODA and 5-FU/LV in these studies was assessed by examining the
`potential difference between the two treatments. In order to assure that XELODA has a
`clinically meaningful survival effect, statistical analyses were performed to determine the
`percent of the survival effect of 5-FU/LV that was retained by XELODA. The estimate of
`the survival effect of 5-FU/LV was derived from a meta-analysis of ten randomized

`
`studies from the published literature comparing 5-FU to regimens of 5-FU/LV that were
`similar to the control arms used in these Studies 1 and 2. The method for comparing the
`treatments was to examine the worst case (95% confidence upper bound) for the
`difference between 5-FU/LV and XELODA, and to show that loss of more than 50% of
`the 5-FU/LV survival effect was ruled out. It was demonstrated that the percent of the
`survival effect of 5-FU/LV maintained was at least 61% for Study 2 and 10% for Study 1.
`The pooled result is consistent with a retention of at least 50% of the effect of 5-FU/LV.
`It should be noted that these values for preserved effect are based on the upper bound of
`the 5-FU/LV vs XELODA difference. These results do not exclude the possibility of true
`equivalence of XELODA to 5-FU/LV (see Table 5, Table 6, and Figure 2).
`
`Breast Cancer
`XELODA has been evaluated in clinical trials in combination with docetaxel
`(Taxotere®) and as monotherapy.
`
`Breast Cancer Combination Therapy
`The dose of XELODA used in the phase 3 clinical trial in combination with docetaxel
`was based on the results of a phase 1 study, where a range of doses of docetaxel
`administered in 3-week cycles in combination with an intermittent regimen of XELODA
`(14 days of treatment, followed by a 7-day rest period) were evaluated. The combination
`dose regimen was selected based on the tolerability profile of the 75 mg/m2 administered
`in 3-week cycles of docetaxel in combination with 1250 mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days of
`XELODA administered in 3-week cycles. The approved dose of 100 mg/m2 of docetaxel
`administered in 3-week cycles was the control arm of the phase 3 study.
`XELODA in combination with docetaxel was assessed in an open-label, multicenter,
`randomized trial in 75 centers in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and
`Australia. A total of 511 patients with metastatic breast cancer resistant to, or recurring
`during or after an anthracycline-containing therapy, or relapsing during or recurring
`within 2 years of completing an anthracycline-containing adjuvant therapy were enrolled.
`Two hundred and fifty-five (255) patients were randomized to receive XELODA
`1250 mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days followed by 1 week without treatment and docetaxel
`75 mg/m2 as a 1-hour intravenous infusion administered in 3-week cycles. In the
`monotherapy arm, 256 patients received docetaxel 100 mg/m2 as a 1-hour intravenous
`infusion administered in 3-week cycles. Patient demographics are provided in Table 7.

`Breast Cancer Monotherapy
`The antitumor activity of XELODA as a monotherapy was evaluated in an open-label
`single-arm trial conducted in 24 centers in the US and Canada. A total of 162 patients
`with stage IV breast cancer were enrolled. The primary endpoint was tumor response rate
`in patients with measurable disease, with response defined as a ≥50% decrease in sum of
`the products of the perpendicular diameters of bidimensionally measurable disease for at
`least 1 month. XELODA was administered at a dose of 1255 mg/m2 twice daily for 2
`weeks followed by a 1-week rest period and given as 3-week cycles. The baseline
`demographics and clinical characteristics for all patients (n=162) and those with
`measurable disease (n=135) are shown in Table 9. Resistance was defined as progressive
`disease while on treatment, with or without an initial response, or relapse within 6 months
`of completing treatment with an anthracycline-containing adjuvant chemotherapy
`regimen.

`For the subgroup of 43 patients who were doubly resistant, the median time to
`progression was 102 days and the median survival was 255 days. The objective response
`rate in this population was supported by a response rate of 18.5% (1 CR, 24 PRs) in the
`overall population of 135 patients with measurable disease, who were less resistant to
`chemotherapy (see Table 9). The median time to progression was 90 days and the
`median survival was 306 days.
`
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`Colorectal Cancer
`• XELODA is indicated as a single agent for adjuvant treatment in patients with
`Dukes’ C colon cancer who have undergone complete resection of the primary
`tumor when treatment with fluoropyrimidine therapy alone is preferred.
`XELODA was non-inferior to 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (5-FU/LV) for
`disease-free survival (DFS). Although neither XELODA nor combination
`chemotherapy prolongs overall survival (OS), combination chemotherapy has
`been demonstrated to improve disease-free survival compared to 5-FU/LV.
`Physicians should consider these results when prescribing single-agent XELODA
`in the adjuvant treatment of Dukes’ C colon cancer.
`• XELODA is indicated as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal
`carcinoma when treatment with fluoropyrimidine therapy alone is preferred.
`Combination chemotherapy has shown a survival benefit compared to 5-FU/LV
`alone. A survival benefit over 5-FU/LV has not been demonstrated with
`XELODA monotherapy. Use of XELODA instead of 5-FU/LV in combinations
`has not been adequately studied to assure safety or preservation of the survival
`advantage.
`
`Breast Cancer
`• XELODA in combination with docetaxel is indicated for the treatment of patients
`with metastatic breast cancer after failure of prior anthracycline-containing
`chemotherapy.
`• XELODA monotherapy is also indicated for the treatment of patients with
`metastatic breast cancer resistant to both paclitaxel and an anthracycline-
`containing chemotherapy regimen or resistant to paclitaxel and for whom further
`anthracycline therapy is not indicated, eg, patients who have received cumulative
`doses of 400 mg/m2 of doxorubicin or doxorubicin equivalents. Resistance is
`defined as progressive disease while on treatment, with or without an initial
`response, or relapse within 6 months of completing treatment with an
`anthracycline-containing ad
