Recommended Dosage

The recommended dose of NUBEQA is 600 mg (two 300 mg tablets) taken orally, twice daily, with food.

Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Patients receiving NUBEQA should also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog concurrently or have had a bilateral orchiectomy.

Advise patients to swallow tablets whole with food, to take any missed dose as soon as they remember prior to the next scheduled dose, and not to take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

mHSPC

For patients with mHSPC treated with NUBEQA in combination with docetaxel, administer the first of 6 cycles of docetaxel within 6 weeks after the start of NUBEQA treatment. Refer to docetaxel prescribing information for additional dosing information, including dosage modifications.

Treatment with NUBEQA may be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, even if a cycle of docetaxel is delayed, interrupted, or discontinued.

Dosage Modification

If a patient experiences a greater than or equal to Grade 3 or an intolerable adverse reaction, withhold NUBEQA or reduce dosage to 300 mg twice daily until symptoms improve. NUBEQA may be resumed at a dose of 600 mg twice daily, when adverse reaction returns to baseline). Dosage reduction below 300 mg twice daily is not recommended.

For patients who experience ischemic heart disease or seizure, additional dose modifications may be required.
