Lab requirements

Blood counts

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10^9/L, platelet count ≥75×10^9/L, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL. No transfusions, G-CSF, thrombopoietin, or erythropoietin allowed within 14 days before blood tests.

Kidney function

Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN, or if Cr >1.5×ULN, creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥60 mL/min calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.

Liver function

Total bilirubin (TBIL) <1.5× ULN; AST and ALT <2.5×ULN. For patients with Gilbert's syndrome, TBIL <2×ULN; if liver metastases are present, AST and ALT <5×ULN.

Adequate organ function, including: Adequate hematologic function: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10^9/L, platelet count ≥75×10^9/L, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL. No transfusions, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), thrombopoietin, or erythropoietin allowed within 14 days before blood tests. Adequate hepatic function: Total bilirubin (TBIL) <1.5× ULN; AST and ALT <2.5×ULN. For patients with Gilbert's syndrome, TBIL <2×ULN; if liver metastases are present, AST and ALT <5×ULN. Adequate renal function: Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN, or if Cr >1.5×ULN, creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥60 mL/min calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. Adequate coagulation function: Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) <1.5×ULN; international normalized ratio (INR) <1.5 or within the target range if on anticoagulant therapy.
