How to Take Mogamulizumab-kpkc and it's Dose


• Mogamulizumab-kpkc is available as an injectable emulsion that should be given directly into the vein as a very slow infusion for at least 1 hour.

• Mogamulizumab-kpkc should be given on day one followed by days 8, 15, 22 of the first 28-day cycle. After the first cycle it is given on days 1 and 15 (twice in a 28-day cycle).

• The dose of mogamulizumab-kpkc can be given within two days of the scheduled dose. Suppose a dose is missed, the next dose of mogamulizumab-kpkc can be given immediately and then followed with the next scheduled dose.

• It is dangerous to give mogamulizumab-kpkc just under the skin (subcutaneous) or as a fast injection into the deep vein (intravenous or IV) and therefore should be avoided.

• Patients can be given anti-allergic drugs and fever-reducing medications during subsequent infusions of mogamulizumab-kpkc if any side effect occurred when it was given the first time.

• The contents of mogamulizumab-kpkc should be transferred into an intravenous bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride to arrive at a final concentration of 1 mg/ ml to 3.0 mg/ ml.

• Gently invert the intravenous bag containing the diluted solution to ensure proper mixing without shaking.

• Do not mix mogamulizumab-kpkc with other drugs and always give mogamulizumab-kpkc through a separate IV line to avoid reactions between drugs.

Dosage & When it is to be taken

• The recommended dose of mogamulizumab-kpkc is 1 mg/kg body weight given slowly for at least 1-hour duration in patients who never show any disease progression or when the treatment with the drug does not result in intolerable toxicity.

• The dose of mogamulizumab-kpkc and the required number of vials needed to prepare the infusion must be calculated based on the individual body weight.

• The dose of mogamulizumab-kpkc can be reduced or modified according to the occurrence of side effects. The infusion rate of mogamulizumab-kpkc should be reduced by a minimum of 50 % when the treatment is started again after the side effects are under control.
