the first maintenance dose should be administered 28 days only after the initial dose
Dose Adjustments
Renal Dose Adjustments:
No adjustment is recommended for mild renal impairment (CrCl 50-80 ml per min)
Use with caution for moderate to severe renal impairment (CrCl <50 ml per min)
Liver Dose Adjustments:

3-month implant: 10.8 mg subcutaneously placed in the upper abdominal wall for every 12week

Dose Adjustments
Renal Impairment:
Dose adjustment not required
Liver impairment:
No data available
55kBq/kg intravenous infusion for 1 minute. Repeat every four weeks for total of 6 weeks
Dose Adjustments
The volume of radium-223 to be administered to a patient should be calculated using the patient's body weight in kilograms, the dosage level of 55 kBq/kg or 1.49 microcurie/kg, the radioactivity concentration of the product at the reference date (1,100 kBq/mL or 30 microcurie/mL), and a decay correction factor to account for the physical decay of the radium-223
The formula for this calculation is (body weight in kg x dosage level) ÷ (decay factor x radioactivity concentration)
The decay correction factor can be found in the prescribing information based on the vial's reference date
Indicated for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
300 mg orally twice daily. Continue for a year or until unacceptable toxicity, disease recurrence, or whichever occurs first
rucaparib is a therapeutic agent for the treatment of prostate cancer in men who have been treated with taxane-based chemotherapy and androgen receptor-directed therapy before
A dose of 600 mg is administered orally twice daily
The medication is continued until the disease is reduced to acceptable toxicity
Dose Modifications
In case of adverse reactions, the dose is modified or reduced
The pattern of dose reduction goes like this
First dose reduction: 500 mg daily (two tablets of 250 mg per day)
Second dose reduction: 400 mg daily (two tablets of 200 mg per day)
Third dose reduction: 300 mg daily (one tablet of 300 mg per day)
Hepatic impairment
In case of mild to moderate impairment (total bilirubin <3 x upper limit of normal or AST > upper limit of normal): No dosage modification is recommended
In case of severe impairment (total bilirubin > 3 x upper normal limit and any AST), no studies performed
Renal impairment
In case of mild-to-moderate impairment (when CrCl is 30-89), no dose adjustment is required
In case of severe impairment (when CrCl <30 mL/min) or patients are on dialysis, no studies are performed
12-14 mg/m2 intravenous every 21 days for three weeks when combined with corticosteroids
The drug is indicated for non-operable prostate cancer
1.25-2.5 mg orally every 8 hours
500mg orally twice a day
lutetium lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan
Indicated in the treatment of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer in people who are treated with taxane chemotherapy and androgen receptor pathway inhibition
7.4 GBq intravenously every 6 weeks up to 6 doses or until the disease is progressed
lutetium lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan
Indicated in the treatment of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer in people who are treated with taxane chemotherapy and androgen receptor pathway inhibition
7.4 GBq intravenously every 6 weeks up to 6 doses or until the disease is progressed
Dose Modifications
If the treatment gets delayed for more than 4 weeks, discontinue the treatment
Reduce the dose by 20% (up to 5.9GBq) once
In the case of 2nd to 3rd-grade myelosuppression, reduce the dose by 20%
For 3rd-grade myelosuppression, discontinue permanently
In the case of renal and hepatic impairment, no dose adjustment is required
