This protocol is based on limited evidence; refer to the evidence section of this protocol for more information.

The anticancer drug(s) in this protocol may have been included in the ADDIKD guideline. Dose recommendations in kidney dysfunction have yet to be updated to align with the ADDIKD guideline. Recommendations will be updated once the individual protocol has been evaluated by the reference committee. For further information refer to the ADDIKD guideline. To assist with calculations, use the eviQ Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) calculator.

This protocol replaces a previous version ID 1671 Glioblastoma recurrent single agent lomustine with lomustine starting dose 130 mg/m2 which has been discontinued. It is the consensus of the eviQ reference committee to use a starting dose of 110 mg/m2 in this patient population based on the dose of lomustine used in recent clinical trialsrrr and due to toxicity concerns in these heavily pre-treated patients.

The information contained in this protocol is based on the highest level of available evidence and consensus of the eviQ reference committee regarding their views of currently accepted approaches to treatment. Any clinician (medical oncologist, haematologist, radiation oncologist, medical physicist, radiation therapist, pharmacist or nurse) seeking to apply or consult this protocol is expected to use independent clinical judgement in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine any patient's care or treatment.
