Anti-microbials as per Trust Antimicrobial prophylaxis policy 5. Corticosteroid eye drops QDS for duration of treatment and for five days after (second induction and consolidation cycles only) Consider avoiding posaconazole and other azoles while on Mylotarg® and for five days after Mylotarg® treatment has finished. AML 19 clinical trial protocol recommends this owing to potential risk of hepatotoxicity, but Mylotarg® SPC makes no reference to this risk, so clinical judgement should be used. Use Caspofungin as an alternative to azole prophylaxis if required.

Burden 1,* 1 Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zurich, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland; [email protected] (L.G.); [email protected] (S.W.); [email protected] (L.H.) 2 National Poisons Information Centre, Tox Info Suisse, Associated Institute of the University of Zurich, 8032 Zurich, Switzerland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +41-76-685-22-56 Received: 30 August 2020; Accepted: 14 October 2020; Published: 18 October 2020 Abstract: Differentiation syndrome (DS) is a potentially fatal adverse drug reaction caused by the so-called differentiating agents such as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO), used for remission induction in the treatment of the M3 subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, recent DS reports in trials of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-inhibitor drugs in patients with IDH-mutated AML have raised concerns. Given the limited knowledge of the incidence of DS with differentiating agents, we conducted a systematic literature review of clinical trials with reports of DS to provide a comprehensive overview of the medications associated with DS. In particular, we focused on the incidence of DS reported among the IDH-inhibitors, compared to existing ATRA and ATO therapies. We identified 44 published articles, encompassing 39 clinical trials, including 6949 patients. Overall, the cumulative incidence of DS across all treatment regimens was 17.7%.

  • Cytostatics As Hazardous Chemicals in Healthcare
    REVIEW PAPER International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health 2019;32(2):141 – 159 https://doi.org/10.13075/ijomeh.1896.01248 CYTOSTATICS AS HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS IN HEALTHCARE WORKERS’ ENVIRONMENT ANNA PAŁASZEWSKA-TKACZ, SŁAWOMIR CZERCZAK, KATARZYNA KONIECZKO, and MAŁGORZATA KUPCZEWSKA-DOBECKA Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, Łódź, Poland Department of Chemical Safety Abstract Cytostatics not only induce significant side-effects in patients treated oncologically but also pose a threat to the health of occupationally exposed healthcare workers: pharmacists, physicians, nurses and other personnel. Since the 1970s numerous reports from various countries have documented the contamination of working areas with cytostatics and the presence of drugs/metabolites in the urine or blood of healthcare employees, which di- rectly indicates the occurrence of occupational exposure to these drugs. In Poland the significant scale of occupational exposure to cytostatics is also confirmed by the data collected in the central register of occupational carcinogens/mutagens kept by the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine. The assessment of occupational exposure to cytostatics and health risks constitutes employers’ obligation. Unfortunately, the assessment of occu- pational risk resulting from exposure to cytostatics raises a number of concerns. Provisions governing the problem of workers’ health protection are not unequivocal because they derive from a variety of law areas, especially in a matter of hazard classification and safety data sheets for cytostatics. Moreover, no legally binding occupational exposure limits have been set for cytostatics or their active compounds, and analytical methods for these substances airborne and biological concentrations are lacking. Consequently, the correct assessment of occupational exposure to cytostatics, the eval- uation of health hazards and the development of the proper preventive strategy appear difficult.

    DAUNORUBICIN HYDROCHLORIDE- daunorubicin hydrochloride injection Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. ---------- DAUNORUBICIN HYDROCHLORIDE INJECTION Rx ONLY WARNINGS 1.Daunorubicin Hydrochloride Injection must be given into a rapidly flowing intravenous infusion. It must never be given by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route. Severe local tissue necrosis will occur if there is extravasation during administration. 2.Myocardial toxicity manifested in its most severe form by potentially fatal congestive heart failure may occur either during therapy or months to years after termination of therapy. The incidence of myocardial toxicity increases after a total cumulative dose exceeding 400 to 550 mg/m2 in adults, 300 mg/m2 in children more than 2 years of age, or 10 mg/kg in children less than 2 years of age. 3.Severe myelosuppression occurs when used in therapeutic doses; this may lead to infection or hemorrhage. 4.It is recommended that daunorubicin hydrochloride be administered only by physicians who are experienced in leukemia chemotherapy and in facilities with laboratory and supportive resources adequate to monitor drug tolerance and protect and maintain a patient compromised by drug toxicity. The physician and institution must be capable of responding rapidly and completely to severe hemorrhagic conditions and/or overwhelming infection. 5.Dosage should be reduced in patients with impaired hepatic or renal function. DESCRIPTION Daunorubicin hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of an anthracycline cytotoxic antibiotic produced by a strain of Streptomyces coeruleorubidus. It is provided as a deep red sterile liquid in vials for intravenous administration only. Each mL contains 5 mg daunorubicin (equivalent to 5.34 mg of daunorubicin hydrochloride), 9 mg sodium chloride; sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid (to adjust pH), and water for injection, q.s.

They are sufficiently metabolised in the human body and removed in waste water treatment plants.

  • Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) (Part 1 Of
    LEUKEMIA TREATMENT REGIMENS: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) (Part 1 of 12) Note: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines® for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) should be consulted for the management of patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma. Clinical Trials: The NCCN recommends cancer patient participation in clinical trials as the gold standard for treatment. Cancer therapy selection, dosing, administration, and the management of related adverse events can be a complex process that should be handled by an experienced healthcare team. Clinicians must choose and verify treatment options based on the individual patient; drug dose modifications and supportive care interventions should be administered accordingly. The cancer treatment regimens below may include both U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved and unapproved indications/regimens. These regimens are only provided to supplement the latest treatment strategies. The NCCN Guidelines are a work in progress that may be refined as often as new significant data becomes available.
