Mylotarg Dosage

The dose and treatment schedule depends on your age, your AML status, and whether you’re taking Mylotarg along with other chemotherapy.

In general, Mylotarg is given as an infusion through the vein (IV) by a healthcare provider.

First-choice treatment for newly-diagnosed AML

• Adults

  • The dose is based on your body size using body surface area (BSA), which takes into account your weight and height.

  • When used together with other chemotherapy: A treatment course consists of 1 induction cycle and then 2 consolidation cycles.

    • Induction cycle: The typical dose is 3 mg/m² given IV on days 1, 4 and 7.
    • Consolidation cycles: The typical dose is 3 mg/m² given IV on day 1.

  • When used by itself: A treatment course consists of 1 induction cycle and up to 8 consolidation cycles.

    • Induction cycle: The typical dose is 6 mg/m² given IV on day 1 and then 3 mg/m² given IV on day 8.
    • Consolidation cycles: The typical dose is 2 mg/m² given IV on day 1 every 4 weeks.

• Children 1 month and older: Treatment days vary based on the treatment protocol that the healthcare team is following. The dose is based on body size, either using body surface area (mg/m²) or using body weight (mg/kg).
