High-dose cytarabine dose modification reduces the incidence of neurotoxicity in patients with renal insufficiency.

Abstract

HDAC NT is strongly associated with RI. The risk of HDAC NT can be reduced by the following: (1) routinely reducing the ARA-C dose from 3 to 2 g/m2 per dose; (2) modifying the ARA-C dose based on daily Cr values; and (3) administering HDAC on a once-daily rather than twice-daily schedule.
