Treatment with TRUQAP should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anticancer medicinal products. 3 Patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer should be selected for treatment with TRUQAP based on the presence of one or more PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN -alterations which should be assessed by a CE-marked IVD with the corresponding intended purpose.
If the CE-marked IVD is not available, an alternative validated test should be used. Posology The recommended dose of TRUQAP is 400 mg (two 200 mg tablets) twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart (total daily dose of 800 mg), for 4 days followed by 3 days off treatment.

Refer to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) of fulvestrant for more information. Missed dose If a dose of TRUQAP is missed, it can be taken within 4 hours after the time it is usually taken.

Treatment duration Treatment with capivasertib should continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Dose adjustments Treatment with TRUQAP may be interrupted to manage adverse reactions and dose reduction can be considered.
Dose reductions for TRUQAP should be carried out as described in Table 2. The dose of capivasertib can be reduced up to two times. Dose modification guidance for specific adverse reactions is presented in Tables 3-5. 9 mmol/L No TRUQAP dose adjustment required.

Summary of safety profile The summary of safety profile of TRUQAP is based on data from 355 patients who received TRUQAP plus fulvestrant in the phase III (CAPItello-291) study. 2% patients exposed ≥ 12 months. 6%). 3%). Serious adverse reactions were seen in 9% of patients receiving TRUQAP plus fulvestrant.
1%). 9% of patients. 5%). 4% of patients. 3%) and vomiting (2%). Tabulated list of adverse reactions Table 8 lists the adverse reactions based on pooled data from patients treated with TRUQAP plus fulvestrant in clinical studies at the recommended dose.
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are organised by MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC). Within each SOC, preferred terms are arranged by decreasing frequency and then by decreasing seriousness. Frequencies of occurrence of adverse reactions are defined as: very common (≥1/10); common (≥1/100 to <1/10); uncommon (≥1/1 000 to <1/100); rare (≥1/10 000 to <1/1 000); very rare (<1/10 000) and not known (cannot be estimated from available data).

for further recommendations on monitoring of glycaemia and other metabolic parameters. e Consultation with a diabetologist should be considered when selecting the anti-diabetic medicinal product. A potential for hypoglycaemia with anti-diabetic medicinal product administration on non-TRUQAP dosing days should be taken into account.
4). 5 Metformin is currently the preferred oral antidiabetic recommended for the management of hyperglycaemia occurring in patients participating in studies of capivasertib. Dosing and management of patients receiving the metformin and capivasertib combination requires caution.
g. OCT2] involved in the excretion of metformin), when taking both capivasertib and metformin concurrently, it is recommended weekly monitoring of creatinine after initiation of metformin, for up to 3 weeks and then on Day 1 of each cycle thereafter.
Metformin should only be given on the days when capivasertib is also administered (the half-life of capivasertib is approximately 8 hours) and should be withdrawn when treatment with capivasertib is withdrawn, unless otherwise clinically indicated.
f There is limited experience in patients receiving insulin when being treated with TRUQAP. 4).
