Cladribine Dosage and Administration


General



  • Consult specialized references for procedures for proper handling and disposal of antineoplastics.1



Administration


Administer by IV infusion.1 9 21 42 45 46


IV Administration


For solution compatibility information, see Compatibility under Stability.


Administer by continuous IV infusion as a single course of therapy over 7 consecutive days or as 7 single daily doses infused IV continuously over 24 hours for a total of 7 consecutive days.1


Handle cautiously; use of latex gloves and protective gowns is recommended during preparation and administration.a If skin or mucosal contact occurs, immediately wash affected area(s) thoroughly.a


Dilution

Cladribine for injection concentrate must be diluted prior to administration.1


Use strict aseptic technique since drug product contains no preservative or bacteriostatic agent.1


Continuous 7-day infusion: Must be diluted in bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride injection containing benzyl alcohol as preservative prior to administration, to provide a total solution volume of 100 mL.1 Pass calculated dose of cladribine for injection concentrate, followed by calculated amount of diluent, through a sterile 0.22-mcm disposable hydrophilic syringe filter and into the infusion reservoir.1


Single daily infusions: Must be diluted in a polyvinyl chloride infusion bag containing 500 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection prior to administration.1 Dextrose 5% injection should not be used due to accelerated cladribine degradation.1


Rate of Administration

Infuse IV over 7 consecutive 24-hour periods as a repeated single daily dose or as a continuous 7-day infusion of the total dose.1


Dosage


Deviations from recommended dosage regimen not advised.1 If patient fails to respond to the initial course of therapy, additional courses unlikely to provide any benefit.1


Adults


Hairy Cell Leukemia

IV

Continuous 7-day infusion: 0.63 mg/kg by continuous IV infusion over 7 consecutive days.1


Single daily infusions: 0.09 mg/kg daily by repeated 24-hour IV infusions for 7 consecutive days.1


Special Populations


Hepatic Impairment


No specific dosage recommendations at this time;1 however, use with caution.1 20


Renal Impairment


No specific dosage recommendations at this time;1 however, use with caution.1 20 (See Cautions.)


Geriatric Patients


Select dosage with caution because of age-related decreases in hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac function and concomitant disease and drug therapy.a


Cautions for Cladribine


Contraindications



  • Known hypersensitivity to cladribine or any ingredient in the formulation.1



Warnings/Precautions


Warnings


Hematologic Effects

Risk of severe and usually reversible myelosuppression (e.g., neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia),1 5 22 24 especially at high doses or in patients with preexisting pancytopenia.32 Myelotoxicity may be cumulative with multiple cycles of therapy.20 Caution in patients with preexisting myelosuppression, and if drug administered before, after, or in conjunction with other myelosuppressive agents.1


Myelosuppression occurs frequently during the first month after initiation of therapy; transfusions (i.e., RBC, platelet) may be required.1


Mean platelet count, ANC, and hemoglobin concentration decline during first 2 weeks after initiation of therapy; normalization of mean counts generally occurs by day 12, week 5, and week 8, respectively.1


Monitor hematologic function carefully to detect development of anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia and for early detection of any potential sequelae (e.g., infection, bleeding).1 (See Adequate Patient Evaluation and Monitoring under Cautions.)


Prolonged depression of CD4+ and T4+ cell counts reported.1 24


Neurotoxicity

Potentially severe and irreversible neurologic effects (e.g., delayed, progressive paraparesis/quadriparesis) consistent with demyelinating disease. Manifestations usually appear 35–84 days after initiation of therapy.1


Neurotoxicity appears to be dose related, usually occurring with dosages higher than those recommended for hairy cell leukemia, in conjunction with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation.1 33


Dose-related axonal peripheral polyneuropathy reported in patients not receiving cyclophosphamide or total body irradiation.1


Renal Effects

Acute renal insufficiency (e.g., acidosis, anuria, elevated Scr) reported; generally has required dialysis and has been reversible in some cases.1 33


Renal dysfunction appears to be dose related, usually occurring with dosages higher than those recommended for hairy cell leukemia, in conjunction with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation.1 33 Similar nephrotoxicity not reported in patients receiving currently recommended dosage.1


Infectious Complications

Risk of serious, sometimes fatal, infectious complications (e.g., septicemia, pneumonia), especially during the first month after initiation of therapy.1 21 22 24 25 26


Carefully weigh risks and benefits of therapy in patients with active infections.1


Fever

Potentially severe fever (temperature ≥40°C) occurs commonly during the first month after initiation of therapy;1 5 21 22 24 usually associated with neutropenia.1 Careful monitoring recommended.1 (See Hematologic Effects and also see Adequate Patient Evaluation and Monitoring under Cautions.)


Fever generally related to the release of pyrogens from tumor cells;5 32 <33% of the febrile events associated with documented infection.1 5 21 22 24


Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality

May cause fetal harm;1 teratogenicity and embryotoxicity demonstrated in animals.1


Avoid pregnancy during therapy.1 If used during pregnancy or if patient becomes pregnant, apprise of potential fetal hazard.1


General Precautions


Adequate Patient Evaluation and Monitoring

Toxic drug with a low therapeutic index; therapeutic response is not likely to occur without some evidence of toxicity.1 Administer only under constant supervision by clinicians experienced in therapy with cytotoxic agents.1


Perform peripheral blood cell counts, particularly during the first 4–8 weeks after initiation of therapy.1


Perform bone marrow aspiration and biopsy after peripheral blood counts have returned to within normal limits, to confirm response to therapy.1


Evaluate febrile episodes with appropriate laboratory and radiologic studies and initiate anti-infectives as clinically indicated.1


Monitor renal and hepatic function periodically, especially in those with underlying renal or hepatic dysfunction.1


Tumor Lysis Syndrome

Tumor lysis syndrome reported rarely in patients with other hematologic malignancies with large tumor burdens.1 Not reported in patients with hairy cell leukemia receiving empiric therapy with allopurinol.5 22


Specific Populations


Pregnancy

Category D.a


Lactation

Not known whether cladribine is distributed into milk.1 Discontinue nursing or the drug.1


Pediatric Use

Safety and efficacy not established in children.1


Cladribine IV infusion solutions diluted with bacteriostatic sodium chloride injection containing benzyl alcohol should not be used in neonates.1 Benzyl alcohol as a preservative has been associated with toxicity in neonates, although a causal relationship has not been established.1 12 13 14 15 16 17


Geriatric Use

Insufficient experience in patients ≥65 years of age to determine whether geriatric patients respond differently than younger adults.1 Select dosage with caution because of age-related decreases in hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac function and potential for concomitant disease and drug therapy.1 (See Geriatric Patients under Dosage and Administration.)


Hepatic Impairment

Use with caution;1 20 monitor hepatic function periodically.1 33 40


Renal Impairment

Use with caution;1 20 monitor renal function periodically.1 33 40

ActionsActions



  • Exact mechanism(s) of antileukemic action not fully elucidated.1 3 6 7 8


    Converted intracellularly by deoxycytidine kinase to cladribine triphosphate which accumulates and incorporates into DNA.1 2 7


    High intracellular concentrations of cladribine triphosphate inhibit ribonucleotide reductase, causing an imbalance in triphosphorylated deoxynucleotide (dNTP) pools and subsequent DNA strand breaks, inhibition of DNA synthesis and repair, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and ATP depletion, and cell death.1 3 6 8




  • Cytotoxic effects extend to resting and proliferating lymphocytes and monocytes.1 2 4 7 20



Advice to Patients



  • Importance of immediately informing clinician if fever or bleeding occurs.1




  • Importance of informing clinicians of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs, as well as any concomitant illnesses.1




  • Importance of women informing clinicians immediately if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed;a necessity for clinicians to advise women to avoid pregnancy during therapy and advise pregnant women of risk to the fetus.1




  • Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information.1 (See Cautions.)

Cleanse and Treat Pad





Dosage Form: cloth
CLEANSE AND TREAT

Cleanse and Treat Pad Description


Cleanse & Treat

(benzoyl peroxide pad and salicylic acid pad)


Rx Only


Cleanse & Treat contains two separate and distinct non-woven pads enclosed in a heat-sealed foil pack compartmentalized from one another within the foil pack by filmstock. One non-woven pad bears a preparation consisting of 5% benzoyl peroxide and the following inactive ingredients: ammonium lauryl sulfate, carbomer, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, DMDM hydantoin, glycerin, methylparaben, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide. The other non-woven pad bears a preparation consisting of 2% salicylic acid and the following inactive ingredients: ammonium lauryl sulfate, cellulose gum, disodium ricinoleamido MEA-sulfosuccinate, DMDM hydantoin, propylene glycol monoricinoleate, purified water, sodium citrate dihydrate.



CHEMICAL STRUCTURE


Benzoyl peroxide is an oxidizing agent that possesses antibacterial properties and is classified as a keratolytic. It has an empirical formula of C14H10O4 with a molecular weight of 242.23. Benzoyl peroxide has the following molecular structure:



Salicylic acid is the 2 hydroxy derivative of benzoic aid. It has an empirical formula of C7H6O3 with a molecular weight of 138.12. Salicylic acid has the following molecular structure:




Cleanse and Treat Pad - Clinical Pharmacology


The exact method of action of benzoyl peroxide in acne vulgaris is not known, however, its antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, together with its mild keratolytic effect, is believed to be its significant mode of action.



Pediatric Use - Cleanse & Treat should not be used by children under 12 years of age.



Information for Patients - Patients should avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use a sunscreen when in sunlight. Contact with hair, fabrics, or any colored materials may result in bleaching or discoloration. Patients should avoid concomitant use of other drugs that may contribute to elevated serum salicylate levels where the potential for toxicity exists. Symptoms of salicylate toxicity may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of hearing, tinnitus, lethargy, hyperpnea and diarrhea. In the event of salicylate toxicity, the use of Cleanse & Treat should be discontinued, fluids should be administered to promote urinary excretion and medical assistance should be obtained immediately.



Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility - Data from some studies using a strain of mice highly susceptible to eveloping cancer suggest that benzoyl peroxide acts as a tumor promoter. The clinical significance of these findings to humans is not known. Benzoyl peroxide has not been found to be mutagenic in the Ames Salmonella Test and there are no published data suggesting that it impairs fertility. No data are available concerning potential carcinogenic or reproductive effects of salicylic acid. It has not been found to be mutagenic in the Ames Salmonella Test and there are no published data suggesting that it impairs fertility.



Pregnancy (Category C) - Animal reproduction studies have not been performed with benzoyl peroxide and it is not known whether benzoyl peroxide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Nevertheless, benzoyl peroxide should be used by a pregnant woman only if necessary. Salicylic acid has been shown to be teratogenic in rats and monkeys. It is difficult to extrapolate from oral doses of acetylsalicylic acid used in these studies to topical administration as the oral dose to monkeys may represent 10 times or more the maximum daily human dose of salicylic acid when applied topically as directed with Cleanse &Treat. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Nevertheless, salicylic acid should be used by a pregnant woman only if necessary.



Indications and Usage for Cleanse and Treat Pad


Cleanse & Treat is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.



Contraindications


Cleanse & Treat is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.



Adverse Reactions


Allergic contact dermatitis and/or dryness have been reported with topical benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, both when used separately and in combination with one another.



Overdosage


If excessive scaling, erythema or edema occurs, patients should discontinue use of Cleanse & Treat and consult with their physician.



Cleanse and Treat Pad Dosage and Administration


Unless otherwise directed by a prescribing physician, patients should apply one salicylic acid pad and one benzoyl peroxide pad to affected areas twice per day. Cleanse & Treat is a leave-on acne treatment, intended for use without water or additional cleansers unless otherwise directed by your physician.



How is Cleanse and Treat Pad Supplied


Each Cleanse & Treat packette consists of one 0.8 g. 5% benzoyl peroxide pad and one 0.5 g. 2% salicylic acid pad, with each pad separated from one another by filmstock and both pads enclosed together in an individual heat-sealed foil pack bearing the NDC Number 23710-052-02.

All-Nite Multi-Symptom Cold/Flu Relief


Generic Name: acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, doxylamine, and pseudoephedrine (a SEET a MIN o fen, DEX troe meth OR fan, dox IL a meen, SOO doe e FED rin)

Brand Names: Alka-Seltzer Plus Night Time Cold Liquigel, All-Nite Multi-Symptom Cold/Flu Relief, Multi-Symptom Nighttime, NyCair, Nyquil Cold Medicine, NyQuil D, Nyquil Liquicap, Robitussin Night Cold, Theraflu Nighttime Severe Cold (pseudoephedrine)


What is All-Nite Multi-Symptom Cold/Flu Relief (acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, doxylamine, and pseudoephedrine)?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.


Doxylamine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.


Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the cough reflex in the brain that triggers coughing.


Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, doxylamine, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat headache, fever, body aches, cough, runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.


This medicine will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

Acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, doxylamine, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about this medicine?

Do not take this medication without a doctor's advice if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You should not use this medicine if you have severe constipation, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or if you are unable to urinate. Do not use this medicine if you have untreated or uncontrolled diseases such as glaucoma, asthma or COPD, high blood pressure, heart disease, coronary artery disease, or overactive thyroid. Do not use this medicine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while you are taking acetaminophen, and can increase certain side effects of doxylamine.
