Recommended Dosage

The recommended starting dosage of XPOVIO is 80 mg (four 20 mg tablets) taken orally on Days 1 and 3 of each week until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity [see Clinical Studies (14.1)].

The recommended starting dosage of dexamethasone is 20 mg taken orally with each dose of XPOVIO on Days 1 and 3 of each week. For additional information regarding the administration of dexamethasone, refer to its prescribing information.

Each XPOVIO dose should be taken at approximately the same time of day, and each tablet should be swallowed whole with water. Do not break, chew, crush, or divide the tablets.

If a dose of XPOVIO is missed or delayed, instruct patients to take their next dose at the next regularly scheduled time. If a patient vomits a dose of XPOVIO, the patient should not repeat the dose and the patient should take the next dose on the next regularly scheduled day.

Recommended Monitoring for Safety

Monitor complete blood count (CBC), standard blood chemistry, and body weight at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. Monitor more frequently during the first two months of treatment [see Warning and Precautions (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4)].

Recommended Concomitant Treatments

Advise patients to maintain adequate fluid and caloric intake throughout treatment.

Consider intravenous hydration for patients at risk of dehydration.

Provide prophylactic concomitant treatment with a 5-HT3 antagonist and/or other anti-nausea agents prior to and during treatment with XPOVIO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

Dosage Modification for Adverse Reactions

Recommended XPOVIO dosage reductions and dosage modifications for adverse reactions are presented in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.
