Active Ingredient: Doxorubicin
Doxorubicin is indicated in combination with bortezomib for the treatment of progressive multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least one prior therapy and who have already undergone or are unsuitable for bone marrow transplant.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Intravenous
30 - 30 mg per m² of body surface area (BSA)
From 30 To 30 mg per m² of body surface area (BSA) once every 21 day(s)
Doxorubicin is administered at 30 mg/m² on day 4 of the bortezomib 3 week regimen as a 1 hour infusion administered immediately after the bortezomib infusion. The bortezomib regimen consists of 1.3 mg/m² on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 every 3 weeks. The dose should be repeated as long as patients respond satisfactorily and tolerate treatment. Day 4 dosing of both medicinal products may be delayed up to 48 hours as medically necessary. Doses of bortezomib should be at least 72 hours apart.
To minimise the risk of infusion reactions, the initial dose is administered at a rate no greater than 1 mg/minute. If no infusion reaction is observed, subsequent doxorubicin infusions may be administered over a 60-minute period.
