Short answer What to do about a missed amivantamab infusion Common questions Related questions SourcesIf you miss a dose of amivantamab-vmjw, contact your cancer care team as soon as you can so they can reschedule the infusion and adjust the rest of your treatment plan.
This medicine is given as an intravenous infusion by a healthcare provider, so a missed dose is really a missed appointment rather than a pill you forgot. Your team decides whether to give the dose late, skip it, or move your whole schedule forward, and that choice depends on how far into treatment you are and why the dose was missed. Timing is tightest during the first weeks, when the starting dose is split across two days and infusions are weekly, before they move to every two weeks. Keep your infusion dates in your phone calendar, arrange rides ahead of time, and call the clinic early if illness, side effects, or travel could get in the way.

Common questions
What happens if you miss a dose of Amivantamab-vmjw Injection?
Amivantamab-vmjw is given as an intravenous infusion at a clinic or infusion center, so a missed dose means a missed appointment. Call your oncology team the same day and ask to reschedule. They will decide whether to give the dose late or shift the remaining schedule, and they may restart with a slower infusion rate if a long gap has passed. Do not try to make up a dose at home and never take two doses close together. Tell your team about fever, rash, breathing changes, or any problem that made you miss the visit, since those may change what happens next.
