Dose Modification or Delay for Nonhematologic Toxicities at Any Time*

Toxicity Grade Dose Interruption Dose Modification Dose for Subsequent Cycles
0-2 Treat on time No change No change
3 Delay until ≤ grade 1 Reduce 1 dose level If toxicity remains ≤ grade 1, dose re-escalation can be considered at discretion of treating investigator; if dose is re-escalated and toxicity (≥ grade 3) recurs, institute permanent dose reduction
4 Delay until ≤ grade 1 Reduce by 1 dose level; permanent discontinuation can be considered at discretion of treating investigator
*

Except hand-foot-skin reaction, hypertension, and asymptomatic elevations in amylase/lipase and hypophosphatemia; excludes alopecia and nausea/vomiting/diarrhea/hypersensitivity unless persistent and/or recurrent despite optimal medical management.

If no recovery after a 4-week delay, study drug administration was permanently discontinued.

Dose reductions below dose level − 3 were not allowed; if dose reductions below dose level − 3 were required, study drug administration was discontinued.
