              Contraindications

              Severe hypersensitivity to capivasertib or any of its components

              Cautions

              May cause fetal harm, based on findings from animals and mechanism of action

              Hyperglycemia

              • Severe hyperglycemia associated with ketoacidosis occurred in clinical trials
              • Safety has not been established in patients with type I diabetes or diabetes requiring insulin; patients with insulin-dependent diabetes were excluded from clinical trials
              • Evaluate fasting glucose before initiating and during treatment
              • If hyperglycemia occurs after treatment, monitor FG as clinically indicated, and at least twice weekly until FG decreases to normal levels
              • See dosage modifications if patient experiences hyperglycemia during treatment

              Diarrhea

              • Severe diarrhea associated with dehydration may occur
              • Monitor for signs and symptoms of diarrhea
              • Advise patients to increase oral fluids and start antidiarrheal treatment at first sign of diarrhea while taking capivasertib
              • See dosage modifications regarding withholding or reducing dose, or permanently discontinue drug based on severity

              Cutaneous reactions

              • Cutaneous adverse reactions may occur, which can be severe, including erythema multiforme (EM), palmoplantar erythrodysesthesia, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)
              • Monitor for signs and symptoms of cutaneous reactions
              • See dosage modifications regarding withholding or reducing dose, or permanently discontinue drug based on severity

              Drug interaction overview

              • CYP3A substrate
              • Strong CYP3A inhibitors
                • Avoid coadministration; if unable to avoid reduce capivasertib dose and monitor for adverse effects
                • Strong CYP3A inhibitors increase capivasertib exposure
              • Moderate CYP3A inhibitors
                • Modify dose
                • Moderate CYP3A inhibitors increase capivasertib exposure; reduce capivasertib dose if coadministered
              • Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers
                • Avoid coadministration
                • Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decrease capivasertib exposure, which may reduce efficacy

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              Pregnancy

              Based on findings in animals and mechanism of action, can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant females

              Advise pregnant females and those who are of reproductive potential of potential fetal risk

              Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential before initiating

              Animal studies

              • When administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis, capivasertib caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality and reduced fetal weights at maternal exposures 0.7 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose of 400 mg twice daily

              Contraception

              • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment with and for 1 month after last dose
              • Males with female partners of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment with and for 4 months after last dose

              Lactation

              Data are unavailable regarding presence of capivasertib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on milk production or breastfed children

              Advise females not to breastfeed during treatment

              Animal data

              • Detected in plasma of suckling rat pups

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.
