Solution
Intravenous (IV)
every 3 weeks
continue until disease progress
Indicated combined with carboplatin to treat advanced ovarian cancer that relapsed 6 months later the completion of platinum-based therapy
1000 mg/m² intravenously for 30 minutes on 1st and 8th day of a 21-day cycle
It should be given with carboplatin when AUC is 4 on 1st day later gemcitabine
Recurrent ovarian cancer
300 mg of the drug in the form of tablets is administered orally twice daily to patients with recurrent and advanced ovarian cancer
Continue the drug therapy until the disease reduces to unacceptable toxicity
Advanced ovarian cancer
Monotherapy
300 mg orally twice daily
Continue the treatment until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or completion of 2 years
After 2 years, if no radiologic evidence is seen, stop the treatment. If the disease persists, continue the treatment
Combination therapy
300 mg olaparib orally twice daily plus bevacizumab 15 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks for a total of 15 months
Continue the treatment until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or completion of 2 years
rucaparib is a therapeutic agent for the treatment of ovarian cancer (recurrent epithelial, fallopian tube, peritoneal) in women who have taken complete or partial platinum-based chemotherapy
A dose of 600 mg is administered orally twice daily
The medication is continued until the disease is reduced to acceptable toxicity
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)
abiraterone acetate and niraparib
Administer 1000mg/200mg of abiraterone acetate/niraparib orally everyday along with 10mg of prednisone orally every day.
Continue until the condition progresses or the toxicity becomes intolerable.
Dose Adjustments
Hemoglobin <8g/dL
When Hgb is more than nine g/dL, refrain from it for up to 28 days while monitoring blood levels weekly.
Resuming at a lower dosage of 1,000 mg abiraterone acetate/100 mg niraparib orally every day.
Platelet counts <100,000/mcL
First Occurrence
Hold off for up to 28 days while checking blood counts weekly until platelet counts reach 100,000/mcL.
Continually provide 100 mg of niraparib and 1,000 mg of abiraterone daily.
If the platelet count falls below 75,000/mcL, restart at a lower dosage of 1,000 mg abiraterone /100 mg niraparib daily.
Second Occurrence
Hold off for up to 28 days while checking blood counts weekly until platelet counts reach 100,000/mcL.
Continually provide 100 mg of niraparib and 1,000 mg of abiraterone daily.
If the platelet count has not improved to a safe level within 28 days of the dosage interruption interval or if the dose has already been decreased to 1,000 mg abiraterone/100 mg niraparib orally daily, the medication should be permanently discontinued.
Neutrophil <1,000/mcL
Withhold blood counts and check them monthly until neutrophil counts rebound to 1,500/mcL.
Monitoring blood counts once per week for 28 days and as clinically necessary will be resumed at a lower dose of 1,000 mg abiraterone/100 mg niraparib per day.
Transfusion-required hematologic adverse event
Consider platelet transfusion if your platelet count is less than 10,000/mcL.
Consider stopping these medications and transfusions at a higher platelet count if there are other risk factors, such as coadministration of anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications.
Resume at a decreased dosage of 100 mg niraparib/1,000 mg abiraterone every day.
Hepatoxicity
Alanine transaminase (ALT) levels greater than five times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin levels greater than three times the ULN.
Withhold and keep a close eye on liver function.
niraparib/abiraterone at a decreased dose of 100 mg may be resumed when AST and ALT resolve to below 2.5x ULN and total bilirubin is below 1.5x ULN.
Monitor serum transaminases every two weeks for three months, then monthly afterward, and as clinically required.
Other non-hematologic adverse responses (Grade 3 or 4)
Despite medical treatment, the condition persists.
Withhold for up to 28 days or until the unpleasant response resolves.
You can restart at a lower dose if it clears up in 28 days.
If an adverse response persists after 28 days or a dosage decrease results in a Grade 3 or 4 adverse reaction, stop the medication permanently.
