Mechanism of action
This is a clinical care pathway rather than a specific drug, where initial therapy is started at a standard dose and systematically increased if treatment targets are not met. The mechanism depends entirely on the underlying medications used within the protocol, which typically begin with first-line agents and advance to more potent or combination therapies.
