GlobalRPh RX List - KEYTRUDA IV
- Product / population
- Intravenous pembrolizumab; baseline PK and treatment-emergent immune nephritis are different questions.
- Renal measure
- Baseline PK: indexed eGFR >=15 mL/min/1.73 m2. Toxicity: CTCAE grade of increased creatinine.
RX mirror: this is not independent corroboration of its underlying label. Check dated-label and formulation limitations.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
Baseline renal impairment with eGFR >=15 had no clinically important effect on clearance. This does not override immune-mediated nephritis management: withhold for Grade 2 or 3 increased creatinine; permanently discontinue for Grade 4. Resume only after Grade 0-1 recovery and corticosteroid taper; permanently discontinue if recovery is inadequate within 12 weeks or prednisone cannot be reduced to <=10 mg/day within 12 weeks. These are selected toxicity instructions, not an indication-selection or corticosteroid-prescribing algorithm.
