WARNING: TOXIC DEATHS, HEPATOTOXICITY, NEUTROPENIA, HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS, and FLUID
RETENTION
See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.
- Treatment-related mortality increases with abnormal liver function, at higher doses, and in patients with NSCLC and prior platinum-based therapy receiving BEIZRAY at 100 mg/m2.
- Avoid use of BEIZRAY if bilirubin > ULN, or if AST and/or ALT >1.5 × ULN concomitant with alkaline phosphatase >2.5 × ULN. LFT elevations increase risk of severe or life-threatening complications. Obtain LFTs before each treatment cycle.
- Do not administer BEIZRAY to patients with neutrophil counts <1500 cells/mm3. Obtain frequent blood counts to monitor for neutropenia.
- Severe hypersensitivity, including fatal anaphylaxis, has been reported in patients who received dexamethasone premedication. Severe reactions require immediate discontinuation of BEIZRAY and administration of appropriate therapy.
- Contraindicated if history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to docetaxel.
- Severe fluid retention may occur despite dexamethasone.
