( 1 ) Hodgkin's lymphoma in combination with other chemotherapies, following disease progression with initial chemotherapy. ( 1 ) 1.1 Brain Tumors Gleostine is indicated for the treatment of patients with primary and metastatic brain tumors following appropriate surgical and/or radiotherapeutic procedures. 1.2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma Gleostine is indicated as a component of combination chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma whose disease has progressed following initial chemotherapy.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended dose in adult and pediatric patients is 130 mg/m 2 orally every 6 weeks. ( 2.1 ) Round dose to nearest 10 mg. Give as a single oral dose and do not repeat for at least 6 weeks. 2.1 Important Prescribing and Dispensing Information PRESCRIBE ONLY ONE DOSE FOR EACH TREATMENT CYCLE. DO NOT DISPENSE ENTIRE CONTAINER. Dispense only a sufficient number of capsules for one dose. Confirm the total dose prescribed by the physician and the appropriate combination of capsule strengths. Dispense only the appropriate number of Gleostine capsules required for the administration of a single dose. The prescribed dose may consist of two or more different strengths and colors of capsules. Instruct patients that Gleostine is taken as a single oral dose and will not be repeated for at least 6 weeks. Taking more than the recommended dose causes toxicities, including fatal outcomes [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Overdosage ( 10 )] . Gleostine is a cytotoxic drug. Follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures. 1 To minimize the risk of dermal exposure, always wear impervious gloves when handling bottles containing Gleostine capsules. Do not break Gleostine capsules; avoid exposure to broken capsules. If dermal contact occurs, wash areas of skin contact immediately and thoroughly. 2.2 Recommended Dose The recommended dose of Gleostine in adult and pediatric patients is 130 mg/m 2 taken as a single oral dose every 6 weeks. Round doses to the nearest 10 mg. Give as a single oral dose and do not repeat for at least 6 weeks. Reduce dose to 100 mg/m 2 every 6 weeks in patients with compromised bone marrow function. Also reduce dose accordingly when using with other myelosuppressive drugs. 2.3 Dose Modifications Perform weekly complete blood counts and withhold each subsequent dose for more than 6 weeks if needed until platelet counts recover to 100,000/mm 3 or greater and leukocytes recover to 4000/mm 3 or greater [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Modify each dose of Gleostine according to the hematologic response of the preceding dose as described in Table 1 : Table 1. Dose Modifications for Gleostine Nadir After Prior Dose Dose Adjustment Leukocytes (/mm 3 ) Platelets (/mm 3 ) ≥ 4000 ≥ 100,000 None 3000 – 3999 75,000 – 99,999 None 2000 – 2999 25,000 – 74,999 Reduce dose by 30% < 2000 < 25,000 Reduce dose by 50%

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Delayed myelosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Risks of overdosage [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Pulmonary toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Secondary malignancies [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Nephrotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] The following adverse reactions associated with the use of Gleostine were identified in clinical trials or postmarketing reports. Because these reactions were reported from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to estimate their frequency, reliability, or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Gastrointestinal disorders: nausea, vomiting, and stomatitis Ocular disorders: optic atrophy, visual disturbances, and blindness Neurologic disorders: disorientation, lethargy, ataxia, and dysarthria Other: alopecia Common adverse reactions include delayed myelosupression, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, and alopecia.
