FLAURA2 Maintenance: Key Strategies for Treatment Optimization and Patient Monitoring
Panelists discuss how FLAURA2 maintenance therapy strategies involve monitoring patients for toxicities and implementing dose modifications or schedule adjustments to improve tolerability.
Maintenance Therapy Strategies
Main Discussion Topics:
- Considerations when implementing the FLAURA2 regimen
- Management strategies for pemetrexed maintenance therapy
- Monitoring patients during maintenance treatment
Key Points for Physicians:
- FLAURA2 involves 4 cycles of carboplatin/pemetrexed followed by pemetrexed maintenance with osimertinib
- Key toxicities to monitor include leg edema, mucositis, and renal dysfunction
- Patient education and early intervention are crucial for managing toxicity
Notable Insights:
The flexibility to adjust maintenance therapy (dose reductions, treatment delays, or discontinuation) is an important aspect of optimizing the FLAURA2 regimen.
Clinical Significance:
Proactive monitoring and management of toxicities during maintenance therapy can help maintain treatment efficacy while preserving quality of life.
