Len Sierra (to Everyone): 4:21 PM: XGEVA® is a 120-mg SC injection administered once every 4 weeks 1 The mean elimination half-life of XGEVA® was 28 days. Having said that, I believe most medoncs give Xgeva once every 3 months.

George Rovder Arlington VA (to Everyone): 4:31 PM: 🙂

Bob G. Philadelphia (to Everyone): 4:59 PM: According to the literature, half life of Xgeva may be 28 days, but the drug stays in the body for 140 days. So, I guess every 3 mo. would work, at least in the beginning.
