Medical Description

Dacoplice tablet contains dacomitinib, a second-generation irreversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It irreversibly blocks EGFR (HER1), HER2, and HER4 receptors, helping inhibit cancer cell growth and proliferation. It is available as a film-coated tablet for oral use.

Dacoplice tablet is used as a first-line treatment for adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumours harbour specific EGFR gene mutations (specifically, EGFR exon 19 deletion or the L858R substitution in exon 21). Before starting treatment, an appropriate validated test should confirm the presence of an eligible EGFR mutation.

Treatment is started and supervised by a specialist doctor, and it continues as long as the cancer keeps responding and side effects remain manageable.

Uses

Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): First-line treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and possesses epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations.

Contraindications

Dacoplice tablet should not be used:
  • If you are allergic to dacomitinib or any other ingredient in this medicine, as a serious allergic reaction may occur.
  • If you are pregnant, the active drug can cause severe harm or death to an unborn baby.
  • If you are currently breastfeeding, it can develop potential adverse effects in nursing infants.

Side effects

Very Common Side Effects
  • Frequent loose or watery stools (diarrhoea)
  • Skin reactions, including acne-like rash (acneiform dermatitis), dry skin, redness, and skin peeling
  • Inflammation and infection around the nails (paronychia)
  • Mouth sores, ulcers, and lip inflammation (stomatitis)
  • Reduced appetite and weight loss
  • Feeling sick (nausea) and vomiting
  • Dry eyes, eye irritation, and conjunctivitis
  • Hair loss or hair thinning (alopecia)
  • Severe tiredness and physical weakness (fatigue)
  • Raised liver enzymes on blood test panels
Other Commonly Reported Side Effects
  • Changes in taste (dysgeusia)
  • Nosebleeds (epistaxis)
  • Abnormal hair growth, such as excessive eyelash growth or brittle nails
  • Dehydration resulting from persistent diarrhoea or nausea
Serious Side Effects Requiring Immediate Medical Attention
  • Severe Diarrhoea: Intense or persistent diarrhoea leading to severe dehydration, low blood pressure, and kidney injury, which requires prompt medical assessment and appropriate treatment.
  • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) / Pneumonitis: Severe, potentially fatal lung inflammation; symptoms include new or worsening shortness of breath, cough, or fever. If ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed, treatment should be permanently discontinued.
  • Severe Skin Reactions: Extensive rash, skin blistering, or skin peeling covering large areas of the body that may require treatment interruption or dose reduction.

Directions for Use

  • Take Dacoplice tablet exactly as your doctor tells you.
  • You can take Dacoplice tablet with or without food.
  • Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or split them.
  • If you vomit or miss a dose, do not take an extra tablet; take your next dose at the usual scheduled time the following day.

Storage and disposal

  • Store tablets at the storage temperature specified on the product packaging/prescribing information.
  • Keep the tablets in their original packaging to protect them from moisture and light.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Dispose of unused/expired medicines properly.

Quick Tips

  • Keep anti-diarrheal medication (such as loperamide)available if advised by your doctor, and follow the recommended treatment for diarrhoea.
  • Apply alcohol-free moisturizing creams regularly to your skin and hands to manage dry skin and prevent acne-like skin rashes.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and wear protective clothing and sunscreen outdoors, as Dacoplice tablet can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
  • Practice good oral hygiene by using a soft toothbrush and alcohol-free mouthwashes to help prevent painful mouth sores.
  • Contact your doctor immediately if you develop new or worsening shortness of breath, cough, or chest pain, as these may signal severe lung inflammation.
  • Women who could become pregnant must use effective birth control during treatment and for the period recommended in the prescribing information after the last dose.

Dosage

Overdose

There is no specific chemical antidote for a Dacoplice tablet overdose. If you take more tablets than prescribed, stop taking the medication and contact your doctor or go to the nearest hospital emergency room immediately. Keep the drug container with you for identification.

Missed a Dose

If you miss a dose of Dacoplice tablet or vomit after taking your tablet, do not take an extra tablet that day. Take your next dose at the usual scheduled time the following day and continue as planned.Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are unsure about what to do, contact your doctor for advice.

How does this medicine work?

Dacoplice tablet works by irreversibly blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/HER1) and related HER2 and HER4 receptors. In NSCLC with specific EGFR mutations, these receptors can send continuous signals that promote cancer cell growth and survival. Dacomitinib blocks these signals, helping to slow tumour growth and proliferation.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Strong CYP2D6 substrates with narrow therapeutic indices (such as procainamide, flecainide, or certain tricyclic antidepressants) may have increased blood levels when taken with Dacoplice tablet, potentially increasing the risk of adverse effects.
  • Strong CYP3A4 inducers (such as rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and St. John's Wort) can significantly lower the concentration of Dacoplice tablet in your blood and reduce its effectiveness.
  • Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs, like omeprazole or pantoprazole) can reduce the absorption of Dacoplice tablet. If acid-reducing therapy is required, an antacid or H2-receptor antagonist may be considered according to your doctor's advice.
  • Always tell your doctor about all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you take before starting treatment.

Interactions with food items

Dacoplice tablet can be taken with or without food, as food does not significantly affect its absorption.Drink plenty of water to help prevent dehydration, especially if diarrhoea occurs.There is no specific food restriction, but limit or avoid alcohol, as it may worsen diarrhoea, mouth sores, or liver-related effects.Small, frequent meals may help manage nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

These are specific genetic alterations in the EGFR gene found in certain lung cancer tumours. These mutations keep the EGFR protein continuously active, sending signals that drive cancer cell growth. Dacoplice tablet is specifically designed to target and block EGFR signalling associated with these mutations.
Diarrhoea is a very common side effect that can occur early during treatment. Your doctor will typically prescribe an antidiarrheal medicine (like loperamide) for you to keep at home so you can start treatment at the first sign of loose stools, along with drinking plenty of fluids.
Skin rash is very common with EGFR inhibitors. Use mild, soap-free cleansers, apply alcohol-free moisturizers daily, and avoid harsh sun exposure. Do not use over-the-counter acne medications without checking with your oncologist, as they can further irritate the skin. Your doctor may prescribe specific topical or oral treatments if the rash is severe.
Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, as determined by your oncologist.
Complete hair loss is uncommon, but temporary hair thinning, changes in hair texture, and abnormal eyelash or eyebrow growth are known side effects of Dacoplice tablet.
