Management strategies for common TRAEs.

TRAEManagement strategies
DiarrheaDiarrhea prevention
• Dietary modifications (eg, eating small meals and avoiding greasy or spicy food, milk, caffeine, and alcohol)
Diarrhea management
• B-R-A-T diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast/decaffeinated tea)
• Maintaining of fluids (6-8 large glasses of water, clear liquids, or soup per day)
• Treatment with anti-diarrheals, such as diphenoxylate-atropine
• Treatment with loperamide orally at low doses for patients without underlying bradycardia, CHF, or congenital long QT syndrome due to risk of Torsades de Pointes
◦ Monitor potassium and magnesium levels and supplement if below the reference range
◦ Perform regular ECGs
• Dose modifications (Table 5)
Nausea and vomiting• Administering the tablet formulation of adagrasib with food
• Eating smaller, more frequent meals
• Maintaining liquids
• Monitoring electrolytes and supplementing as required
• Engagement of dietician
• For chronic nausea/vomiting: anti-emetics appropriate for the patient; choice of anti-emetic should be determined by patient-specific factors, and tolerability of anti-emetic side effects
◦ Treatment with ondansetron up to 4 mg every 6 hours (maximum total daily dose of 16 mg) for patients without underlying bradycardia, CHF, or congenital long QT syndrome
◦ Monitor potassium and magnesium levels and supplement if below the reference range
◦ Perform regular ECGs
• For acute nausea/vomiting: treatment with 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (including palonosetron) and a short course of dexamethasone, or NK1 receptor antagonists
• For refractory nausea/vomiting: treatment with olanzapine
• For patients who take medications for gastric acidity, consideration should be given around the concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) due to a potential decrease in exposure of adagrasib
◦ Antacids or H2 blockers may be used instead
• Dose modifications (Table 5)
Fatigue• Exercising (taking plenty of breaks)
• Staying hydrated
• Keeping a normal sleep routine
• Assessing potential contributing factors
• Treatment with medications such as methylphenidate and modafinil (may decrease appetite so patients should be monitored)
• Dose modifications (Table 5)
ALT/AST/alkaline phosphatase increase• Monitoring liver enzymes regularly during treatment (every month for 3 months if the patient does not experience abnormalities)
• Evaluating contributing factors
• For significant hepatotoxicity, treatment with glucocorticoids can be considered
• Dose modifications (Table 5)
Electrocardiogram QTc prolongation• Managing electrolyte deficiencies (eg, potassium, magnesium, etc.)
• Baseline ECGs and additional monitoring as clinically indicated (including in patients with symptomatic QT prolongation)
• Dose modifications (Table 5)
• Further information source: Credible Meds (https://www.crediblemeds.org/everyone)
Blood creatinine increase• Assessing volume status and applying a low threshold for fluid replacement
• Monitoring blood creatinine levels regularly during treatment (every month for 3 months if the patient does not experience abnormalities)
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen for pain) should be avoided or used with caution when creatinine is elevated
• Dose modifications (Table 5)
