- <p><strong>4.2 Posology and method of administration</strong></p>
<p>Denosumab should be administered under the responsibility of a healthcare professional.</p>
<p><u>Posology</u></p>
<p>Supplementation of at least 500 mg calcium and 400 international units vitamin D is required in all patients, unless hypercalcaemia is present (see section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p><em>Skeletal-related events in patients with multiple myeloma and in patients with bone metastases from solid tumours</em><br>
The recommended dose of denosumab is 120 mg administered as a single subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks into the thigh, abdomen or upper arm.</p>
<p><em>Giant cell tumour of the bone</em><br>
The recommended dose of denosumab is 120 mg administered as a subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks into the thigh, abdomen or upper arm, with additional 120 mg doses on days 8 and 15 of treatment of the first month of therapy.</p>
<p><em>Renal impairment</em><br>
No dose adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment (see section 4.4 for recommendations relating to monitoring of calcium, 4.8 and 5.2 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p>In clinical studies of patients without advanced cancer with varying degrees of renal function (including severe renal impairment [creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min] or receiving dialysis) there was a greater risk of developing hypocalcaemia with increasing degree of renal impairment and in the absence of calcium supplementation. Monitoring calcium levels and adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D is important in patients with severe renal impairment or receiving dialysis (see section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p><em>Hepatic impairment</em><br>
The safety and efficacy of denosumab have not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment (see section 5.2 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p><em>Elderly patients (age ≥ 65)</em><br>
No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients (see section 5.2 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p><em>Paediatric population</em><br>
The safety and efficacy of denosumab have not been established in paediatric patients (age < 18) other than skeletally mature adolescents (aged 13 – 17 years) with giant cell tumour of bone.</p>
<p>Denosumab is not recommended for use in paediatric patients other than skeletally mature adolescents (aged 13 – 17 years) with giant cell tumour of bone (see section 4.4 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p>Denosumab was studied in a phase II open-label trial that enrolled a subset of 28 paediatric patients (aged 13 – 17 years) with giant cell tumour of bone who had reached skeletal maturity defined by at least 1 mature long bone (e.g., closed epiphyseal growth plate of the humerus) and body weight ≥ 45 kg. In animal studies, inhibition of RANK/RANK ligand (RANKL) with a construct of osteoprotegerin bound to Fc (OPG-Fc) has been coupled to inhibition of bone growth and lack of tooth eruption (see section 5.3 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).<br>
Therefore, treatment with denosumab may impair bone growth in children with open growth plates and may inhibit eruption of dentition.</p>
<p><u>Method of administration</u><br>
For subcutaneous use.</p>
<p>For instructions for use, handling and disposal see section 6.6 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>.</p>
