Measure
Treatment (Levocarnitine, Vitamin B Complex)
Patients receive levocarnitine IV over 2-3 minutes every 6 hours up to 4 times a day (inpatient) or PO TID (outpatient). Patients also receive vitamin B complex PO BID. Treatment continues for up to 30 days after the last dose of either PEG-asparaginase or inotuzumab, or until Tbili of ≤ 1.5 x ULN or at least a 50% reduction in peak Tbili is achieved.
