The frequency of complete side effect assessments for patients on lurbinectedin can depend on several factors, including the specific treatment plan, the patient's health status, and the potential severity of the drug's side effects. However, the prescribing information for lurbinectedin does not provide specific guidance on how often these assessments should be performed [1].

Lurbinectedin is a novel anticancer drug, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in adults [1]. As with any medication, lurbinectedin can cause side effects, which can range from mild to severe. Common side effects of lurbinectedin include fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, constipation, and increased liver enzymes [1].

In general, patients on any new medication, including lurbinectedin, should be closely monitored for side effects. The frequency of these assessments may be determined by the healthcare provider, based on the individual patient's needs and the potential severity of the side effects.

It is important for patients to report any side effects to their healthcare provider as soon as they occur. This can help ensure that the side effects are properly managed and that any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan can be made.

In summary, while there is no specific guidance on how often complete side effect assessments should be performed for patients on lurbinectedin, close monitoring is recommended. The frequency of these assessments may be determined by the healthcare provider, based on the individual patient's needs and the potential severity of the side effects.
