Tolerability of Highly Protein Bound Targeted Oral Oncolytic Drugs in Patients With Hypoalbuminemia: A Retrospective Analysis.
Joshua L MurdockMarissa R DucoDavid J ReevesPublished in: The Annals of pharmacotherapy (2020)
This represents the first report of the impact of hypoalbuminemia on tolerability of highly protein bound oral oncolytic drugs, demonstrating that patients with hypoalbuminemia may be at increased risk for early discontinuation resulting from toxicity. Given the importance of maintaining dose intensity in patients receiving oncolytic therapy, albumin levels should be monitored throughout treatment and supportive care maximized in those developing hypoalbuminemia.
