The recommended initial dose of TARGRETIN is 300 mg/m2/day (see Table 1). TARGRETIN should be taken as a single oral daily dose with a meal. For precautions to prevent pregnancy and birth defects in women of child-bearing potential [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].

Dose Modification Guidelines: The 300 mg/m2/day dose level of TARGRETIN may be adjusted to 200 mg/m2/day then to 100 mg/m2/day, or temporarily suspended, if necessitated by toxicity. When toxicity is controlled, doses may be carefully readjusted upward. If there is no tumor response after 8 weeks of treatment and if the initial dose of 300 mg/m2/day is well tolerated, the dose may be escalated to 400 mg/m2/day with careful monitoring.

Duration of Therapy: In clinical trials in CTCL, TARGRETIN was administered for up to 97 weeks.

TARGRETIN should be continued as long as the patient is deriving benefit.
