do I really need to follow EVIQ? EVIQ is widely considered as the national standard BUT - Evidence for protocol doses come from fit trial pts without co-morbidities - Dose reductions are taken from clinical papers or expert opinion and often vary between papers. - In some situations only expert consensus opinion was best evidence - Treatment intent (Cure v Palliation) and willingness of pts to accept sideeffects are other important variables Page 36
do I really need to follow EVIQ? => EVIQ not appropriate for all patients in all circumstances But must then clearly document rationale in medical record and ensure pt and treating team understand and are aware of variance Pge 37
Challenges for EVIQ new protocol development Maintaining existing as data changes levels of evidence Geography Voluntary/unpaid http://www.phcris.org.au/guides/about_research.php Page 38
How you can help! Join a reference committee. Develop a new protocol under guidance of EVIQ content authors (MOGA and oncology SAC strongly encourage trainees to do this) Let us know of errors/area of improvement we will listen New protocol requests Page 39 Optional Footer
