Child Dose

Renal Dose

Renal Impairment CrCl 10-50 mL/min: Decrease dose 50% CrCl <10 mL/min: Contraindicated

Administration

IV Preparation Further dilution stability is dependent on chloride ion concentration & should be mixed in solutions of NS (at least 0.3% NaCl) Further dilution in NS, D5/½NS or D5/NS to a concentration of 0.05-2 mg/mL are stable for 72 hr at 4-25°C in combination with mannitol May administer 12.5-50 g mannitol/L Standard dilution: dose/250-1000 mL NS, D5W/NS or D5/½NS IV Administration Perform pretreatment hydration Do not use aluminum-containing needles or IV administration sets that may come in contact with carboplatin (aluminum can react causing precipitate formation & loss of potency) Administration rate has varied from a 15-120 min infusion, 1 mg/min infusion, 6-8 hr infusion, 24 hr infusion, or per protocol Maximum rate of infusion: 1 mg/min in patients with CHF When administered as sequential infusions, taxane derivatives (docetaxel, paclitaxel) should be administered before platinum derivatives to limit myelosuppression & to enhance efficacy

Contra Indications

Patients with severe renal or auditory disorder, known hypersensitivity, severe bone marrow suppression, peripheral neuropathy, pregnancy, lactation.

Precautions

Patients with renal or hepatic disorder, myelosuppression. Monitor renal, neurological and auditory function. Perform blood counts regularly. Maintain adequate hydration before and 24 hr after admin to minimise nephrotoxicity. Lactation: excreted in breast milk; do not nurse

Pregnancy-Lactation

Pregnancy Based on human data from published literature, cisplatin can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women; data demonstrates transplacental transfer of cisplatin Exposure associated with oligohydramnios, intrauterine growth restriction, and preterm birth; cases of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome, cytopenias, and hearing loss reported Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential before initiating prior to initiation of cisplatin for injection Contraception Females: Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 14 months following the last dose Males: Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 11 months after the last dose Infertility Females: Use associated with cumulative dose-dependent ovarian failure, premature menopause, and reduced fertility Males: Use associated with a cumulative dose-dependent impairment of spermatogenesis (oligospermia, azoospermia; possibly irreversible) and reduced fertility Lactation Limited data from published literature report the presence of drug in human milk; because of potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child and because of potential for tumorigenicity, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment

Interactions

Synergistic with 5-fluorouracil and etoposide. Efficacy increased and toxicity reduced when combined with radioprotecting agent WR 2721. At doses ?100 mg, cisplatin is an ideal drug to combine with other cytotoxic drugs; unlike other antineoplastic drugs, it causes little myelosuppression. Potentially Fatal: Potentiates nephrotoxicity with aminoglycosides. Increased toxicity when combined with other cytotoxic drugs.

Side Effects

Side effects of Cisplatin : >10% Nausea (76-100%), Vomiting (76-100%), Nephrotoxicity (28-36%), Ototoxicity, especially in children (31%), Myelosuppression (25-30%), Anaphylaxis (1-20%), Alopecia Frequency Not Defined Cerebral herniation, Encephalopathy, Leukoencephalopathy and reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome, Seizure, Peripheral neuropathy (dose and duration dependent), Diarrhea, Electrolyte changes, Hyperuricemia, Hepatotoxicity, Local tissue irritation Potentially Fatal: Rarely, renal damage due to inadequate hydration during therapy. Very rarely life-threatening myelosuppression. Anaphylactoid reactions (rare) and cardiac abnormalities.

Mode of Action

Cisplatin modifies cell cycle by interfering with DNA structure and function. Effects are most prominent during the S phase but cells are killed at all stages. Cisplatin synergises with other anticancer drugs e.g. fluorouracil. It has a narrow therapeutic margin and is highly toxic.
