    HODGKIN LYMPHOMA TREATMENT REGIMENS (Part 1 of 2) The selection, dosing, and administration of anticancer agents and the management of associated toxicities are complex. Drug dose modifications and schedule and initiation of supportive care interventions are often necessary because of expected toxicities and because of individual patient variability, prior treatment, and comorbidities.

  • Eliminating Vincristine Administration Events
    Issue 37 October 2017 Eliminating vincristine administration events Issue: Despite the usually deadly consequences of accidentally administering the chemotherapy drug vincristine intrathecally, adverse events still occur, typically because some organizations still administer vincristine via syringe. The good news is that these events are happening less in the United States, mostly because of the efforts of leading national organizations to promote an effective prevention strategy that assures a mechanical barrier to intrathecal administration (into the subarachnoid space). The strategy involves diluting intravenous vincristine or other vinca alkaloids in a minibag that contains a volume that is too large for intrathecal administration (e.g., 25 mL for pediatric patients and 50 mL for adults), making it mechanically difficult to accidentally administer intrathecally.1 Vinca alkaloids (vinblastine, vinorelbine, vincristine, and vincristine liposomal) are chemotherapy drugs that are intended to be administered intravenously. If given intrathecally, vincristine is nearly always fatal and associated with an irreversible, painful ascending paralysis.2 When vinca alkaloids are injected intrathecally, destruction of the central nervous system occurs, radiating out from the injection site. The few survivors of this adverse event experienced devastating neurological damage.1 Part of the problem stems from ordering intravenous vincristine in conjunction with medications that are administered intrathecally via a syringe, such as methotrexate, cytarabine and hydrocortisone. In some adverse events, vincristine was mistakenly injected into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients when the intent was to inject another intrathecal chemotherapy agent, such as methotrexate or cytarabine.3 Intravenous vincristine and other vinca alkaloids are dispensed from the pharmacy with explicit warning labels about their lethality if given intrathecally.

  • Vincristine Archive File
    Vincristine archive file Vincristine is a vinakaloid, which was first discovered 1958 in the tropical plant Catharanthus roseus, native in Madagascar. Its ability to inhibit the metaphase of the mitosis by suppressing the polymerization of the microtubule makes it very important as a chemotherapeutic agent, especially against non-Hodgkin lymphomas and Wilms' tumor. History: Vinblastine and Vincristine are bisindole alkaloids and both widely known for their use as antitumor drugs. In former times they were isolated in trace quantities from the leaves of Catharanthus roseus. Because of their importance in the medical field numerous researches were examining the structure, use and synthesis of Vinblastine, Vincristine and their derivates. Their biological effect to inhibit the microtubule formation and mitosis was and still is a very important part of medical cancer therapy. They were both among the first natural products whose structures were identified by X-ray crystallography and among the first for which X-ray analysis of a heavy atom derivative was used to establish their absolute configuration. ( 2) Timeline: 1958 Vinblastine was first discovered as an unexpected myelosuppressive agent by Noble, R. L., C. T. Beer, and J. H. Cutts during the search for an antidiabetic agent in Catharanthus roseus (myelosupression decreased activity of the bone marrow) 1959 independendently researchers from Eli Lilly (Johnson, I. S., J.

Included were cells from these established Vincristine and vinblastine exhibit differential activity against lines: mouse neuroblastoma; mouse leukemia L1210; mouse tumors and normal tissues. In this work, a number of cultured lymphoma S49; HeLa; and human promyelocytic leukemia HL- cell lines were assayed for their sensitivity to the antiproliferative 60. Drug sensitivity in each cell line was determined by assaying and cytotoxic effects of the two drugs following short-term (4 hr) inhibition of proliferation during a continuous exposure to either or during continuous exposures. Differential activity was not drug or by assaying colony formation following a 24-hr exposure. seen when cells were subjected to continuous exposures. The Because of rapid loss of Vinca alkaloids from human serum concentrations of Vincristine and vinblastine, respectively, that following an i.v. bolus injection (11, 12,14, 17), the sensitivity of inhibited growth rates by 50% were: mouse leukemia L1210 cells to short-term (1- and 4-hr) exposures was also determined cells, 4.4 and 4.0 nw; mouse lymphoma S49 cells, 5 and 3.5 nM; for both drugs. Although there were differences in sensitivity to mouse neuroblastoma cells, 33 and 15 nw; HeLa cells, 1.4 and vincristine and vinblastine between cell lines, there was little or 2.6 nw; and human leukemia HL-60 cells, 4.1 and 5.3 nM.

Downloaded from Etoposide compared with the combination of vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide in the treatment of small cell lung cancer M B McILLMURRAY, R J BIBBY, BE TAYLOR, L P ORMEROD, J R EDGE, R J WOLSTENHOLME, R F WILLEY, J F O'REILLY, N HORSFIELD, C E JOHNSON, C P MUSTCHIN, D BRISCOE From the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Lancaster; Victoria Hospital, Blackpool; Royal Preston Hospital, Preston; Blackburn Royal Infirmary, Blackburn; Marsden Hospital, Burnley; Furness General Hospital, Cumbria; Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle; and Royal Albert Edward Infirmary, Wigan ABSTRACT One hundred and three patients with small cell lung carcinoma were stratified according to stage ofdisese (47 limited disease, 56 extensive disease) and then randomised to receive etoposide 300 mg/m2 alone for two days or a combination (VAC) of vincristine 1 mg/m2, doxorubicin (Adriamycin) 50 mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide 1000 mg/m2. The drugs were given at three week intervals. Patients were assessed after three cycles of treatment and continued with the same regimen ifin complete remission and with the alternative regimen ifin partial remission; they were withdrawn if the disease had progressed. Twenty four patients (23%) achieved complete remission and this copyright. occurred more often when patients were receiving VAC (19 of82) than etoposide (5 of75). There was no difference, however, in overall survival between those initially treated with etoposide and those having combination chemotherapy, whether for limited disease (both 8 months) or extensive disease (7 and 5 5 months).
