Treatment dose and schedule The first part of your treatment will be given into your vein through an intravenous (IV) line. This may be into a short, flexible temporary catheter in your arm, or through a central venous catheter.

This medication will be ordered by your provider to take by mouth at home. Each oxaliplatin and capecitabine treatment is repeated every 21 days. This is known as one cycle. Your treatment may be given for a set number of cycles, or it will keep going until the drug, or drugs, stop working or you have side effects which stop you from continuing treatment. o Your oxaliplatin is given on day 1 of each treatment cycle. o Your capecitabine should be taken twice daily on days 1-14 of each treatment cycle. Taking capecitabine as instructed is important to allow your treatment to be as effective as possible, so here are some key points to remember. o Your dose is based on many factors, including your height and weight, overall health and diagnosis. o Capecitabine should be taken with water, within 30 minutes after a meal, at the same times each day. o Capecitabine should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow capecitabine, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. o If you miss a dose of capecitabine, do not take two doses at one time.

Leave duvelisib in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, you should give duvelisib to yourself and follow the steps below.

The person filling the box or reminder should wear gloves. Gloves are not necessary if you are filling the box or reminder. When empty, the box or reminder should be washed with soap and water before refilling. Be sure to wash hands with soap and water after the task is complete, whether or not gloves are worn.

If you are traveling, put your duvelisib in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Since duvelisib remains in your body for several days after it is taken, some of the drug may be present in urine, stool, sweat, or vomit. Once you have started to take duvelisib, it is important to adhere to the following instructions every day for as long as your treatment lasts. This is to keep yourself, loved ones, and the environment as safe as possible. Pregnant women should avoid touching anything that may be soiled with body fluids from the patient. Toilet and septic systems You may use the same toilet, septic tank, and/or sewer that you usually use. If you have a low flow toilet, close the lid and flush twice to ensure that all waste has been discarded. If the toilet or toilet seat becomes soiled with urine, stool, or vomit, clean the surfaces before other people use the toilet. Wash hands with soap and water after using the toilet. If you need a bedpan, be sure your caregiver knows to wear gloves to assist with cleanup and to wash the bedpan with soap and water every day. If you do not have good control of bladder or bowels, use a disposable pad with a plastic back, a diaper, or a sheet to absorb body waste. Wash any skin that has been exposed to body waste or duvelisib with soap and water. Linens or clothing that are soiled with body fluids or body waste should be washed separately from other linens and clothing.

Page 1 CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Name of your medication Generic name — cyclophosphamide SY kloh FOS fuh mide Brand name — Cytoxan® sy TOK sun Approved uses Cyclophosphamide is used to treat patients with the following: Certain types of leukemias and lymphomas Breast cancer Multiple myeloma Neuroblastoma Ovarian cancer Retinoblastoma Dose and schedule Taking cyclophosphamide as instructed is important to allow your treatment to be as effective as possible, so here are some key points to remember. Your dose is based on many factors, including your height and weight, overall health, and diagnosis. Cyclophosphamide can be taken with or without food, but at the same time each day, preferably in the morning followed by drinking plenty of fluid throughout the day. Cyclophosphamide should be taken whole and not crushed, cut, or dissolved. If you are unable to swallow cyclophosphamide, talk to your care provider or pharmacist for possible options. If you miss a dose of cyclophosphamide, do not take an extra dose or two doses at one time. Simply take your next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Be sure to write down if you miss a dose and let your care provider know about any missed doses. Storage and handling Handle cyclophosphamide with care. Just like when chemotherapy is given into the vein, this drug can be toxic, and exposure of the drug to others should be limited. Store cyclophosphamide at room temperature 68°F–77°F in a dry location away from light. Keep cyclophosphamide out of reach of children and pets. Leave cyclophosphamide in the provided packaging until it is ready to be taken. Whenever possible, you should give cyclophosphamide to yourself and follow the steps below. If a family member, friend, or caregiver needs to give the cyclophosphamide to you, they also need to follow these steps. 1. Wash hands with soap and water. 2. Put on gloves to avoid touching the medication. Gloves are not necessary if you give the drug to yourself. 3. Gently transfer the cyclophosphamide from its package to a small medicine or other disposable cup. CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE ORAL CHEMOTHERAPY EDUCATION Page 2 4. Administer the medicine immediately by mouth with water. 5. Remove gloves and do not use them for anything else. 6. Throw gloves and medicine cup in household trash. 7. Wash hands with soap and water. If a daily pill box or pill reminder is used, a separate one should be used for cyclophosphamide. Do not mix other medications into the box with cyclophosphamide. The person filling the box or reminder should wear gloves. Gloves are not necessary if you are filling the box or reminder. When empty, the box or reminder should be washed with soap and water before refilling. Be sure to wash hands with soap and water after the task is complete, whether or not gloves are worn. If you have any unused cyclophosphamide, do not throw it in the trash and do not flush it down the sink or toilet. Talk to your care provider or pharmacist about proper disposal of cyclophosphamide. If you are traveling, put your cyclophosphamide in a sealed plastic bag. Ask your pharmacist if any additional travel precautions are needed. Handling body fluids and waste Since cyclophosphamide remains in your body for several days after it is taken, some of the drug may be present in urine, stool, sweat, or vomit. Once you have started to take cyclophosphamide, it is important to know the following instructions every day for as long as your treatment lasts. This is to keep yourself, loved ones, and the environment as safe as possible. Pregnant women should avoid touching anything that may be soiled with body fluids from the patient. Toilet and septic systems You may use the same toilet, septic tank, and/or sewer that you usually use. If you have a low flow toilet, close the lid and flush twice to ensure that all waste has been discarded. If the toilet or toilet seat becomes soiled with urine, stool, or vomit, clean the surfaces before other people use the toilet. Wash hands with soap and water after using the toilet. If you need a bedpan, be sure your caregiver knows to wear gloves to assist with cleanup and to wash the bedpan with soap and water every day. If you do not have good control of bladder or bowels, use a disposable pad with a plastic back, a diaper, or a sheet to absorb body waste. Wash any skin that has been exposed to body waste or cyclophosphamide with soap and water. Linens or clothing that are soiled with body fluids or body waste should be washed separately from other linens and clothing. If you do not have a washer, place the soiled linens in a plastic bag until they can be washed. Wash hands with soap and water after touching linens or clothing that may be soiled with body fluids. Drug and food interactions Cyclophosphamide has many drug interactions. Inform your care providers of all prescription medications, over thecounter medications, vitamins, and herbal products. Talk with your care provider or pharmacist before taking new medications or supplements, or receiving any vaccines.
