Table 5.
Administration guidelines for infusion recommencement after infusion-related reactions[22]
| Grade | Management of IRR |
|---|---|
| Grades 1-2 (mild to moderate) | Once reaction symptoms resolve, the infusion should be resumed at no more than half the rate at which the IRR occurred |
| If the patient does not experience any further IRR symptoms, infusion rate escalation may be resumed at increments and intervals as appropriate up to the maximum rate of 200 mL/h | |
| Grade 3 (severe) | Once reaction symptoms resolve, consider restarting the infusion at no more than half the rate at which the reaction occurred |
| If the patient does not experience additional symptoms, infusion rate escalation may be resumed at increments and intervals as appropriate | |
| The procedure above should be repeated in the event of recurrence of Grade 3 symptoms. Permanently discontinue daratumumab upon the third occurrence of a Grade 3 or greater infusion reaction | |
| Grade 4 (life-threatening) | Permanently discontinue daratumumab treatment |
