Typical dosage for Unituxin
Your child’s oncologist will determine their dose based on your child’s body surface area (BSA), which takes into account their weight and height. This medication is typically given by a healthcare team in a clinic or hospital setting.
- The typical dosing of Unituxin (dinutuximab) is 17.5 mg/m2 infused daily through the veins, over 10-20 hours. It’s given 4 days in a row, toward the beginning or middle of each 24- to 32-day cycle. Your child can receive this medication for a maximum of 5 cycles.
Your child’s provider will also prescribe other medications, such as granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and isotretinoin, with Unituxin (dinutuximab) treatment. In addition, they'll receive medications before and during each Unituxin (dinutuximab) infusion to help with side effects.
