| Grade 3 Hyperglycemia/Diarrhea/Rash | Suspend treatment → Upon recovery, reduce dose to 320 mg per dose

| Grade 4 or Intolerable Toxicity   | Permanently discontinue treatment

Dosage Adjustment for Drug Interactions:

Strong CYP3A Inhibitors (e.g., Clarithromycin): Avoid concomitant use; if necessary, reduce dose to 200 mg per dose;

Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors (e.g., Diltiazem): Reduce dose to 320 mg per dose;

CYP3A Inducers (e.g., Rifampin): Completely avoid concomitant use.

Common: Diarrhea (72%), Skin reactions (58%), Hyperglycemia (57%), Lymphocytopenia (47%), Anemia (45%), Nausea (35%), Fatigue (35%).

Laboratory Abnormalities: Increased fasting glucose, increased triglycerides, increased creatinine, decreased neutrophils.


Management of Severe Toxicities

Hyperglycemia:

Monitor blood glucose levels prior to and during treatment; monitor more frequently in patients with diabetes; 

Symptoms: Thirst, polyuria, fruity-smelling breath → Seek immediate medical attention.

Diarrhea:

Initiate anti-diarrheal treatment (e.g., Loperamide) at the first sign of symptoms; ensure adequate hydration; 

Persists for ≥48 hours or leads to dehydration → Suspend treatment.

Skin Reactions:

Rash, blistering, exfoliation → Reduce dose or discontinue treatment based on severity.


VI. Contraindications and Warnings

Contraindications: Contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity to any component of the product.

Boxed Warning:

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: May cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women; effective contraception is required during treatment and for 1 month (for females) or 4 months (for males) after the last dose;

Lactation: Breastfeeding is prohibited during treatment and for 1 month after the last dose. VII. Clinical Efficacy (Key Study: CAPItello-291)

| Patient Population          | Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | Reduction in Risk of Disease Progression

| Overall Patient Population | 7.2 months vs. 3.6 months (Control Group) | 40% Reduction

| Patients with AKT Pathway Mutations | 7.3 months vs. 3.1 months (Control Group) | >50% Reduction


VIII. Use in Special Populations

Hepatic/Renal Impairment: No definitive dose adjustment recommendations are currently available; close monitoring is required.

Elderly Patients: Safety data for patients aged ≥65 years are limited; individualized assessment is recommended.


IX. Drug Interactions

CYP3A Substrates: Capivasertib is metabolized via CYP3A4; dose adjustments are required when co-administered with CYP3A inhibitors or inducers (see "IV. Dose Adjustments" for details).

Fulvestrant: No known interactions; administer according to the standard regimen.


X. Patient Medication Instructions

Missed Doses: If more than 4 hours remain before the next scheduled dose, take the missed dose; otherwise, skip it. Do not take a double dose.

Monitoring Requirements:

Monitor blood glucose levels weekly (especially for patients with diabetes).

Record the frequency of diarrhea and any changes in skin condition.

Dietary Advice: Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit products (as they inhibit CYP3A).


The information above is based on the drug's prescribing information and Phase III clinical studies. Specific treatment regimens should be formulated by a specialized oncologist based on the individual patient's genetic testing results and tolerability.
