Brand Name :
Kisqali
Synonyms :
ribociclib
Class :
Antineoplastic agents and CDK Inhibitors; Aromatase Inhibitors
ribociclib is indicated in women with (HR)-positive hormone receptor (HER2) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer
A dose of 600 mg is administered each day orally for the initial 21 days of every 28-day cycle
The medication is continued until the disease is reduced to acceptable toxicity
Dose Adjustments
In case of adverse reactions, the dose is modified or reduced
The pattern of dose reduction goes like this
First dose reduction: 400 mg daily
Second dose reduction: 200 mg daily
In case the patient is unable to tolerate 200 mg daily, discontinue the treatment
Hepatic impairment
In the case of mild Child-Pugh A, there is no dose adjustment required
In case of moderate-to-severe Child-Pugh B or C: Reduce the starting dose to 400 mg/day
Renal impairment
In the case of mild-to-moderate (CrCl ≥30 mL/min): No dose adjustment is necessary
In case of severe (CrCl 15-30 mL/min): reduce the starting dose to 200 mg/day
