Plan carboplatin dosing with renal estimates and clear checks. Get structured results, rounded doses, and exports for clinics.
Calvert Formula: Dose (mg) = Target AUC × (GFR + 25)
The calculator estimates renal function using Cockcroft-Gault or accepts a measured GFR. It then applies the Calvert formula and optional GFR capping before dose rounding.
Cockcroft-Gault uses age, sex, weight, and serum creatinine. Weight can be actual, ideal body weight, or adjusted body weight for advanced review.
| Case | Age | Sex | Weight (kg) | SCr (mg/dL) | Target AUC | Method | Estimated GFR | Calculated Dose (mg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example 1 | 58 | Female | 68 | 0.9 | 5 | CG Actual | 66.0 | 455.0 |
| Example 2 | 64 | Male | 82 | 1.1 | 6 | CG IBW | 63.5 | 531.0 |
| Example 3 | 49 | Female | 74 | - | 4 | Measured GFR | 85.0 | 440.0 |
Carboplatin dosing is strongly linked to renal clearance, so renal method selection directly affects the calculated milligram dose. This calculator supports Cockcroft-Gault estimates and direct measured GFR entry for flexible clinic workflows. Automatic creatinine unit conversion reduces input mistakes when laboratories report different units. By clearly displaying the renal source and GFR used, the tool improves transparency during prescribing review, pharmacy checks, and treatment plan documentation. It also supports safer documentation habits.
Weight selection can change Cockcroft-Gault results, especially in obesity, cachexia, or edema. The calculator provides actual, ideal, and adjusted body weight choices, then reports BMI, IBW, and adjusted values beside the dose output. This helps teams justify why one estimate was chosen over another. Seeing the selected weight basis in the final summary also improves consistency across repeat cycles, staff handoffs, and internal dose verification processes. This is valuable in protocol audits.
Target AUC is usually protocol based, and even small changes produce meaningful dose differences because the Calvert equation scales linearly. The calculator accepts flexible AUC inputs and updates results immediately after submission. A clear result panel shows target AUC, GFR, exact dose, and rounded dose together. This layout supports faster multidisciplinary review, reduces transcription risk, and helps clinicians compare planned doses before compounding and administration scheduling. It also improves communication during signoff.
Dose rounding is often required for vial practicality, inventory control, and efficient preparation. This calculator applies a configurable rounding increment after computing the Calvert dose, then shows both exact and rounded values. Built in CSV and PDF exports create a consistent record of patient inputs, assumptions, and outputs. Standardized exports help oncology teams archive calculations, communicate clearly with pharmacy, and reduce repeated manual entry during busy clinics. Exports support audit trail quality.
The calculator is a decision support tool and does not replace prescribing judgment. Carboplatin dosing may need additional review for unstable kidney function, recent creatinine changes, dialysis, prior toxicities, or local capping policies. Input validation, optional GFR caps, and safety notes prompt careful confirmation before finalizing treatment. Teams should always reconcile results with current protocols, laboratory timing, and pharmacist verification before medication preparation. Document protocol exceptions and rationale clearly for every cycle.
It uses the Calvert formula: Dose = Target AUC × (GFR + 25). The tool either estimates renal function with Cockcroft-Gault or uses a measured GFR entered by the user.
Use measured GFR when your protocol, oncology team, or nephrology assessment requires a direct renal measurement. It can be helpful when serum creatinine-based estimates may be unreliable.
Different centers use different Cockcroft-Gault weight methods. Showing all options supports transparent comparison and helps clinicians document which weight basis was selected for the final dose.
The cap limits the renal value used in the dose calculation when estimated or measured GFR is very high. This can align the output with local carboplatin dosing policies.
Yes. The calculator includes CSV and PDF export options after calculation. Exports summarize patient inputs, renal method, dose values, and notes for clinical documentation workflows.
No. It is a decision-support tool only. Final prescribing should follow oncology protocols, current labs, clinical status, and pharmacist or physician verification before administration.

Carboplatin dosing can vary by protocol, renal function method, assay calibration, prior toxicities, and institutional policy. Always confirm treatment plans with oncology, pharmacy, and current guidelines before administration.
