Supportive Care Factors

Factor Value
Antifungal prophylaxis: Routine antifungal prophylaxis recommended
Antiviral prophylaxis for herpes virus: Routine antiviral prophylaxis recommended
Diarrhoea risk: Consider prescribing antidiarrhoeals with this treatment
Emetogenicity: Variable
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) prophylaxis: Routine antibiotic prophylaxis recommended

Antifungal prophylaxis: Inhibition of CYP3A4 by azole antifungals may lead to reduced daSATinib clearance and increased toxicities. Consider using a non-azole antifungal for prophylaxis. If an azole is used the daSATinib dose must be reduced – consult prescribing information. 


Antiviral prophylaxis for hepatitis B virus: Guidance is limited to high-risk anti-cancer medicines. Clinicians will need to assess individual patient risk for other anti-cancer medicines.


Emetogenicity: MEDIUM days 1 and 15; MINIMAL to LOW days 2 to 28, excluding day 15.
