Continuous treatment: 3 to 6 mg/kg body weight daily (equivalent to 120 to 240 mg/m2 body surface).
Intermittent treatment: 10 to 15 mg/kg body weight (equivalent to 400 to 600 mg/m2 body surface) at intervals of 2 to 5 days.
High-dose intermittent treatment: 20 to 40 mg/kg body weight (equivalent to 800 to 1600 mg/m2 body surface) and higher doses (e.g. for conditioning prior to bone-marrow transplantation) at intervals of 21 to 28 days.
In adults with cancer with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2:
Cy200 (cyclophosphamide total dose of 200 mg/kg): Use the lesser of IBW or actual body weight (ABW).
Cy120 (cyclophosphamide total dose of 120 mg/kg): Use either IBW (preferred) or ABW for patients ≤ 120% IBW. Use ABW25 for patients >120% IBW.
[ABW25: Adjusted wt (kg) = Ideal body weight (kg) + 0.25 [actual wt (kg) - ideal body weight (kg)]]
Recommendations for dose reduction in patients with myelosuppression:
