Algorithm for HAI FUDR dose reduction

Liver enzymes Reference Value % FUDR Dose

AST (at pump emptying or day of planned re-treatment, whichever is higher) 0 to <2 x reference value 100%
2 to <3 x reference value 80%
3 to < 4 x reference value 50%
> 4 x reference value Hold

Alk Phos (at pump emptying or day of planned re-treatment, whichever is higher) 0 to < 1.2 x reference value 100%
1.2 to <1.5 x reference value 50%
>1.5 x reference value Hold

Tbili (at pump emptying or day of planned re-treatment, whichever is higher) 0 to < 1.2 x reference value 100%
1.2 to <1.5 x reference value 50%
>1.5 x reference value Hold


Recommencing FUDR treatment after Hold

Reason for Treatment Delay FUDR resumed when value has returned to: % FUDR dose

AST elevation 2 x reference value 25% of last dose

Alk phos elevation 1.2 x reference value 25% of last dose

Tbili elevation 1.2 x reference value 25% of last dose

HAI, hepatic arterial infusion; FUDR, floxuridine; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; Alk phos, alkaline phosphatase; Tbili, total bilirubin.
