Hematological adverse events grading and management
| Hematologic*: obtain complete blood counts weekly for the first month, monthly for the next 11 months, and periodically thereafter for clinically significant changes | ||
| Adverse event | Grade | Management |
| Anemia | Grade 1 Hgb <LLN−10.0 g/dL; <LLN−6.2 mmol/L; <LLN–100 g/L | If hemoglobin <8 g/dL:
|
| Grade 2 Hgb <10.0–8.0 g/dL; <6.2–4.9 mmol/L; <100–80 g/L | ||
| Grade 3 Hgb <8.0 g/dL; <4.9 mmol/L; <80 g/L; transfusion indicated | ||
| Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated | ||
| Platelet count | Grade 1 <LLN–75 000/mm3; <LLN−75.0x109 /L | If platelet count is <100 000/μL: First occurrence:
Second occurrence:
|
| Grade 2 <75 000–50 000/mm3; <75.0–50.0x109/L | ||
| Grade 3 <50 000–25 000/mm3; <50.0–25.0x109/L | ||
| Grade 4 <LLN–75 000/mm3; <LLN−75.0x109/L | ||
| Neutrophil count | Grade 1 <LLN–1500/mm3;<LLN−1.5x109/L | If neutrophil count is <1000/μL:
|
| Grade 2 <1500–1000/mm3 ; <1.5–1.0x109 /L | ||
| Grade 3 <1000–500/mm3 ; <1.0–0.5x109 /L | ||
| Grade 4 <500/mm3 ; <0.5×109 /L | ||
*If myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) is confirmed, discontinue niraparib.
†For 200 mg starting dose: first dose reduction is to 100 mg/day (one 100 mg capsule); if a second dose reduction is needed, discontinue treatment. For 300 mg starting dose: first dose reduction is to 200 mg/day (two 100 mg capsules), second dose reduction is to 100 mg/day (one 100 mg capsule); if dose reductions <100 mg/day are required, discontinue treatment.
Hgb, hemoglobin; LLN, lower limit of normal.
