- For intravenous administration only through a free flowing central IV line: not for intramuscular or subcutaneous administration.
- If extravasation occurs, stop infusion, aspirate, give antidote (dexrazoxane [Totect] 1000 mg/m2 via remote IV site over 1-2 hours x 2 days or dimethyl sulfate [DMSO]), apply dry cold compresses.

50
Q

What is the recommended maximum lifetime dose of Anthracyclines?

A

The recommended maximum lifetime dose of this class is:
- 450-550 mg/m2 Doxorubicin equivalents

51
Q

Describe the strategy and rationale for management of cardiac toxicity caused by Anthracyclines.

A

The strategy and rationale for management of this condition caused by this drug class are:
- Limit lifetime exposure (<450-550 mg/m2 Doxorubicin equivalents)
- Perform baseline testing (echocardiogram)
- Dexrazoxane (Zinecard) can be used for prevention.

52
Q

Describe the use of dexrazoxane in the management of cardiac toxicity associated with Anthracyclines.

A

The use of this drug in the management of cardiac toxicity associated with this class is as follows:
- Given IV in a 10:1 ratio of dexrazoxane:doxorubicin.
- Doxorubicin must be administered within 30 minutes of the completion of the dexrazoxane infusion.
- Its FDA labeled indication is in women with metastatic breast cancer with a cumulative doxorubicin dose exceeding 300 mg/m2.
- May also be used off label and in some pediatric protocols.
- It is not recommended for use with initial doxorubicin therapy.
- Dexrazoxane is marketed under two different brand names (Totect and Zinecard), however they are not interchangeable.
- Totect is indicated for Anthracycline extravasations.
- Generic dexrazoxane and Zinecard are indicated for reducing doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.

53
Q

Describe the strategy and rationale for management of urine discoloration caused by Anthracyclines.

A

The strategy and rationale for management of this condition caused by this drug class are:
- This discoloration is harmless and will resolve 1-2 days after the anthracycline dose
- Patients should be counselled that urine discoloration from an anthracycline should be painless. If the discoloration (especially if red) is accompanied by symptoms such as urgency, frequency, or discomfort, they should be evaluated by their healthcare provider as these could be signs of blood in the urine.

54
Q

Describe the metabolism of the Anthracycline class.

A

The metabolism of this drug is as follows:
- All drugs in this class are hepatically metabolized and generally require dose adjustments in patients with hepatic dysfunction

55
Q

What agent was given the nickname “the red devil” and why?

A

This nickname was given to this drug due to its bright red color, vesicant properties, and side-effect profile.

56
Q

What is the nickname given to Doxorubicin and why?

A

This drug was the nickname “the red devil” due to its bright red color, vesicant properties, and side-effect profile.
