When considering treatment with Selpercatinib, the following considerations are critical:
ALT and AST levels should be monitored before and at the beginning of treatment, bi-weekly for the first 3 months, and monthly thereafter. Depending on the severity of impaired liver function, it may be necessary to pause, taper or permanently discontinue the drug.
If acute or worsening respiratory symptoms occur, medication should be discontinued and testing for interstitial lung disease should be performed. Once diagnosed, the dose is adjusted or permanently discontinued depending on the severity of the condition.
[Warm tips] Regularly go to the hospital for blood tests and physical assessments, actively communicate with doctors, discover and deal with possible adverse reactions in time, adjust the treatment plan or conduct necessary examinations.
