Max: 88 mg. Continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Dose reduction, dosing interruption, or discontinuation may be required according to individual safety or tolerability (refer to detailed product guidelines).
Nhóm bệnh nhân đặc biệt
Patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, atazanavir, nefazodone, saquinavir, telithromycin, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, voriconazole): Avoid concomitant use. If use cannot be avoided, reduce ixabepilone dose to 20 mg/m2. If the strong inhibitor is discontinued, resume the previous ixabepilone dose (at 1 week after discontinuing the inhibitor) to what was used before initiating the strong inhibitor.
Patients taking strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, phenobarbital): Avoid concomitant use. If use cannot be avoided, gradually increase ixabepilone dose from 40 mg/m2 to 60 mg/m2 as tolerated. Administer ixabepilone as a 4-hour infusion and monitor patients carefully for adverse reactions.
Suy gan
As monotherapy: AST and ALT >2.5 to ≤10 times upper limit of normal (ULN) and bilirubin >1 to ≤1.5 times ULN: 32 mg/m2; AST and ALT ≤10 times ULN and bilirubin >1.5 to ≤3 times ULN: 20-30 mg/m2; AST or ALT >10 times ULN or bilirubin >3 times ULN: Not recommended. Further decreases in subsequent courses should be based on individual tolerance. In combination with capecitabine: AST or ALT >2.5 times ULN or bilirubin >1 times ULN: Contraindicated.

Verify pregnancy status in women of childbearing potential before initiating treatment. Monitor CBC with differential at baseline and frequently during treatment, hepatic function (ALT, AST, bilirubin) at baseline and periodically.

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Ixabepilone is a semi-synthetic epothilone B analogue that binds directly to the β-tubulin subunits on microtubules, stabilising microtubule activity, thus arresting the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Time to peak plasma concentration: 3 hours. Distribution: Extensively distributed. Plasma protein binding: 67-77%. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver mainly via oxidation by CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Excretion: Via faeces (65%, mainly as metabolites and approx 1.6% as unchanged drug); urine (21%, mainly as metabolites and approx 5.6% as unchanged drug). Elimination half-life: Approx 52 hours.
