Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride uses


1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is indicated for reducing the incidence and severity of cardiomyopathy associated with doxorubicin administration in women with metastatic breast cancer who have received a cumulative doxorubicin dose of 300 mg/m2 and who will continue to receive doxorubicin therapy to maintain tumor control. Do not use with the initiation of doxorubicin therapy .

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is a cytoprotective agent indicated for reducing the incidence and severity of cardiomyopathy associated with doxorubicin administration in women with metastatic breast cancer who have received a cumulative doxorubicin dose of 300 mg/m2 and who will continue to receive doxorubicin therapy to maintain tumor control. Do not use Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride with doxorubicin initiation. (1)

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

2.1 Recommended Dose

Administer Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride Injection via intravenous infusion over 15 minutes. DO NOT ADMINISTER VIA AN INTRAVENOUS PUSH.

The recommended dosage ratio of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride to doxorubicin is 10:1 (e.g., 500 mg/m2 Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride to 50 mg/m2 doxorubicin). Do not administer doxorubicin before Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. Administer doxorubicin within 30 minutes after the completion of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride infusion.

2.2 Dose Modifications

Dosing in Patients with Renal Impairment

Reduce Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride dosage in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment by 50% (ZINECARD to doxorubicin ratio reduced to 5:1; such as 250 mg/m2 Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride to 50 mg/m2 doxorubicin) .

Dosing in Patients with Hepatic Impairment

Since a doxorubicin dose reduction is recommended in the presence of hyperbilirubinemia, reduce the Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride dosage proportionately (maintaining the 10:1 ratio) in patients with hepatic impairment.

2.3 Preparation and Administration

Preparation and Handling of Infusion Solution

Reconstitute Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride with Sterile Water for Injection, USP. Reconstitute with 25 mL for a Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride 250 mg vial and 50 mL for a Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride 500 mg vial to give a concentration of 10 mg/mL. Dilute the reconstituted solution further with Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP to a concentration of 1.3 to 3.0 mg/mL in intravenous infusion bags for intravenous infusion.

Following reconstitution with Sterile Water for Injection, USP, Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is stable for 30 minutes at room temperature or if storage is necessary, up to 3 hours from the time of reconstitution when stored under refrigeration, 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). The pH of the resultant solution is 1.0 to 3.0. DISCARD UNUSED SOLUTIONS. The diluted infusion solutions are stable for one hour at room temperature or if storage is necessary, up to 4 hours when stored under refrigeration, 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). The infusion solutions have a pH of 3.5 to 5.5. DISCARD UNUSED SOLUTIONS.

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Solutions containing a precipitate should be discarded.

Use caution when handling and preparing the reconstituted solution. The use of gloves is recommended. If Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride powder or solutions contact the skin or mucosae, wash exposed area immediately and thoroughly with soap and water. Follow special handling and disposal procedures.1

Administration

Do not mix Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride with other drugs.

Administer the final diluted solution of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride by intravenous infusion over 15 minutes before the administration of doxorubicin. DO NOT ADMINISTER VIA AN INTRAVENOUS PUSH. Administer doxorubicin within 30 minutes after the completion of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride infusion.

250 mg or 500 mg single dose vials as sterile, pyrogen-free lyophilizates. (3)

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

Do not use Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride with non-anthracycline chemotherapy regimens.

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride should not be used with non-anthracycline chemotherapy regimens. (4)

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Myelosuppression

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride may add to the myelosuppression caused by chemotherapeutic agents. Obtain a complete blood count prior to and during each course of therapy, and administer Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride and chemotherapy only when adequate hematologic parameters are met.

5.2 Concomitant Chemotherapy

Only use Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride in those patients who have received a cumulative doxorubicin dose of 300 mg/m2 and are continuing with doxorubicin therapy. Do not use with chemotherapy initiation as Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride may interfere with the antitumor activity of the chemotherapy regimen. In a trial conducted in patients with metastatic breast cancer who were treated with fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide with or without Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride starting with their first cycle of FAC therapy, patients who were randomized to receive Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride had a lower response rate (48% vs. 63%) and shorter time to progression than patients who were randomized to receive placebo.

5.3 Cardiac Toxicity

Treatment with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride does not completely eliminate the risk of anthracycline-induced cardiac toxicity. Monitor cardiac function before and periodically during therapy to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In general, if test results indicate deterioration in cardiac function associated with doxorubicin, the benefit of continued therapy should be carefully evaluated against the risk of producing irreversible cardiac damage.

5.4 Secondary Malignancies

Secondary malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) have been reported in studies of pediatric patients who have received Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride in combination with chemotherapy. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is not indicated for use in pediatric patients. Some adult patients who received Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride in combination with anti-cancer agents known to be carcinogenic have also developed secondary malignancies, including AML and MDS.

Razoxane is the racemic mixture, of which Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is the S(+)-enantiomer. Secondary malignancies (primarily acute myeloid leukemia) have been reported in patients treated chronically with oral razoxane. In these patients, the total cumulative dose of razoxane ranged from 26 to 480 grams and the duration of treatment was from 42 to 319 weeks. One case of T-cell lymphoma, one case of B-cell lymphoma, and six to eight cases of cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma have also been reported in patients treated with razoxane. Long-term administration of razoxane to rodents was associated with the development of malignancies .

5.5 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride administration during the period of organogenesis resulted in maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity and teratogenicity in rats and rabbits at doses significantly lower than the clinically recommended dose . If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus.

Advise female patients of reproductive potential to avoid becoming pregnant and to use highly effective contraception during treatment .

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

In clinical studies, Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride was administered to patients also receiving chemotherapeutic agents for cancer. Pain on injection was observed more frequently in patients receiving Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride versus placebo.

To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer, Inc. at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed cannot be directly compared to rates in other trials and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

The adverse reaction profile described in this section was identified from randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies in patients with metastatic breast cancer who received the combination of the FAC chemotherapy regimen with or without Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. The dose of doxorubicin was 50 mg/m2 in each of these trials. Treatment was administered every three weeks until disease progression or cardiac toxicity.

Patients in clinical trials who received FAC with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride experienced more severe leukopenia, granulocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia than patients receiving FAC without Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride .

Table 1 below lists the incidence of adverse reactions for patients receiving FAC with either Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride or placebo in the breast cancer studies. Adverse experiences occurring during courses 1 through 6 are displayed for patients receiving Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride or placebo with FAC beginning with their first course of therapy (columns 1 and 3, respectively). Adverse experiences occurring at course 7 and beyond for patients who received placebo with FAC during the first six courses and who then received either Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride or placebo with FAC are also displayed (columns 2 and 4, respectively).

The adverse reactions listed below in Table 1 demonstrate that the frequency of adverse reaction "Pain on Injection" has been greater for Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride arm, as compared to placebo.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Risk Summary

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride administration resulted in maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity and teratogenicity in rats and rabbits at doses significantly lower than the clinically recommended dose. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus .

Animal Data

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride resulted in maternal toxicity in rats at doses of ≥2 mg/kg (1/40 the human dose on a mg/m2 basis) and embryotoxicity and teratogenicity at 8 mg/kg (approximately 1/10 the human dose on a mg/m2 basis) when given daily to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis. Teratogenic effects in the rat included imperforate anus, microphthalmia, and anophthalmia. In offspring allowed to develop to maturity, fertility was impaired in the male and female rats treated in utero during organogenesis at 8 mg/kg. In rabbits, doses of ≥5 mg/kg (approximately 1/10 the human dose on a mg/m2 basis) daily during the period of organogenesis caused maternal toxicity and doses of 20 mg/kg (1/2 the human dose on a mg/m2 basis) were embryotoxic and teratogenic. Teratogenic effects in the rabbit included several skeletal malformations such as short tail, rib and thoracic malformations, and soft tissue variations including subcutaneous, eye and cardiac hemorrhagic areas, as well as agenesis of the gallbladder and of the intermediate lobe of the lung.

8.3 Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

8.4 Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride in pediatric patients have not been established .

8.5 Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

8.6 Females of Reproductive Potential

Contraception

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride can cause fetal harm when administered during pregnancy. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception during treatment .

8.7 Renal Impairment

Greater exposure to Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride may occur in patients with compromised renal function. Reduce the Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride dose by 50% in patients with creatinine clearance values <40 mL/min .

10 OVERDOSAGE

There are no data on overdosage in the cardioprotective trials; the maximum dose administered during the cardioprotective trials was 1000 mg/m2 every three weeks.

Disposition studies with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride have not been conducted in cancer patients undergoing dialysis, but retention of a significant dose fraction (>0.4) of the unchanged drug in the plasma pool, minimal tissue partitioning or binding, and availability of greater than 90% of the systemic drug levels in the unbound form suggest that it could be removed using conventional peritoneal or hemodialysis.

There is no known antidote for Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. Instances of suspected overdose should be managed with good supportive care until resolution of myelosuppression and related conditions is complete. Management of overdose should include treatment of infections, fluid regulation, and maintenance of nutritional requirements.

11 DESCRIPTION

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride (dexrazoxane for injection), a cardioprotective agent for use in conjunction with doxorubicin, is a sterile, pyrogen-free lyophilizate intended for intravenous administration.

Chemically, Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is (S)-4,4'-(1-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)bis-2,6-piperazinedione. The structural formula is as follows:

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride, an intracellular chelating agent, is a derivative of EDTA. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is a whitish crystalline powder that melts at 191° to 197°C. It is sparingly soluble in water and 0.1 N HCl, slightly soluble in ethanol and methanol, and practically insoluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The pKa is 2.1. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride has an octanol/water partition coefficient of 0.025 and degrades rapidly above a pH of 7.0.

Each 250 mg vial contains Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride hydrochloride equivalent to 250 mg Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. Hydrochloric Acid, NF is added for pH adjustment. When reconstituted as directed with 25 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, each mL contains: 10 mg Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. The pH of the resultant solution is 1.0 to 3.0.

Each 500 mg vial contains Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride hydrochloride equivalent to 500 mg Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. Hydrochloric Acid, NF is added for pH adjustment. When reconstituted as directed with 50 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, each mL contains: 10 mg Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. The pH of the resultant solution is 1.0 to 3.0.

The reconstituted Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride solutions prepared from Sterile Water for Injection, USP, are intended for further dilution with Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP, for rapid intravenous drip infusion. DO NOT ADMINISTER VIA AN INTRAVENOUS PUSH .

Chemical Structure

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

The mechanism by which Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride exerts its cytoprotective activity is not fully understood. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is a cyclic derivative of EDTA that penetrates cell membranes. Results of laboratory studies suggest that Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is converted intracellularly to a ring-opened chelating agent that interferes with iron-mediated free radical generation thought to be responsible, in part, for anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride have been studied in advanced cancer patients with normal renal and hepatic function. The pharmacokinetics of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride can be adequately described by a two-compartment open model with first-order elimination. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride has been administered as a 15 minute infusion over a dose range of 60 to 900 mg/m2 with 60 mg/m2 of doxorubicin, and at a fixed dose of 500 mg/m2 with 50 mg/m2 doxorubicin. The disposition kinetics of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride are dose-independent, as shown by linear relationship between the area under plasma concentration-time curves and administered doses ranging from 60 to 900 mg/m2. The mean peak plasma concentration of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride was 36.5 µg/mL at 15- minute after intravenous administration of 500 mg/m2 dose of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride over 15 to 30 minutes prior to the 50 mg/m2 doxorubicin dose.

The important pharmacokinetic parameters of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride are summarized in Table 2:

Dose Doxorubicin (mg/m2) Dose Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride (mg/m2) Number of Subjects Elimination Half-Life (h) Plasma Clearance (L/h/m2) Renal Clearance (L/h/m2) Steady-state volume of distributionVolume of Distribution (L/m2)
50 500 10 2.5 (16) 7.88 (18) 3.35 (36) 22.4 (22)
60 600 5 2.1 (29) 6.25 (31) - 22.0 (55)

Distribution

Following a rapid distributive phase (0.2 to 0.3 hours), Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride reaches post-distributive equilibrium within two to four hours. The estimated mean steady-state volume of distribution of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is 22.4 L/m2 after 500 mg/m2 of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride dose followed by 50 mg/m2 of doxorubicin, suggesting distribution throughout total body water (25 L/m2).

In vitro studies have shown that Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is not bound to plasma proteins.

Metabolism

Qualitative metabolism studies with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride have confirmed the presence of unchanged drug, a diacid-diamide cleavage product, and two monoacid-monoamide ring products in the urine of animals and man. The metabolite levels were not measured in the pharmacokinetic studies.

Excretion

Urinary excretion plays an important role in the elimination of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. Forty-two percent of a 500 mg/m2 dose of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride was excreted in the urine. Renal clearance averages 3.35 L/h/m2 after the 500 mg/m2 Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride dose followed by 50 mg/m2 of doxorubicin.

Specific Populations

Pediatric

Pharmacokinetics following Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride administration have not been evaluated in pediatric patients.

Effect of Renal Impairment

The pharmacokinetics of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride were assessed following a single 15-minute IV infusion of 150 mg/m2 of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride. Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride clearance was reduced in subjects with renal dysfunction. Compared with controls, the mean AUC0–inf value was two-fold greater in subjects with moderate (CLCR 30–50 mL/min) to severe (CLCR <30 mL/min) renal dysfunction. Modeling demonstrated that equivalent exposure (AUC-inf) could be achieved if dosing were reduced by 50% in subjects with creatinine clearance values <40 mL/min compared with control subjects (CLCR >80 mL/min) .

Effect of Hepatic Impairment

Pharmacokinetics following Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride administration have not been evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment. The Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride dose is dependent upon the dose of doxorubicin .

Drug Interactions

There was no significant change in the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin (50 mg/m2) and its predominant metabolite, doxorubicinol, in the presence of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride (500 mg/m2) in a crossover study in cancer patients.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

No long-term carcinogenicity studies have been carried out with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride in animals. Nevertheless, a study by the National Cancer Institute has reported that long-term dosing with razoxane (the racemic mixture of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride, ICRF-187, and its enantiomer ICRF-186) is associated with the development of malignancies in rats and possibly in mice .

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test, but was found to be clastogenic to human lymphocytes in vitro and to mouse bone marrow erythrocytes in vivo (micronucleus test).

Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride has the potential to impair fertility in male patients based on effects in repeat-dose toxicology studies. Testicular atrophy was seen with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride administration at doses as low as 30 mg/kg weekly for 6 weeks in rats (1/3 the human dose on a mg/m2 basis) and as low as 20 mg/kg weekly for 13 weeks in dogs (approximately equal to the human dose on a mg/m2 basis).

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

The ability of Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride to prevent/reduce the incidence and severity of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy was evaluated in three prospectively randomized placebo-controlled studies. In these studies, patients were treated with a doxorubicin-containing regimen and either Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride or placebo starting with the first course of chemotherapy. There was no restriction on the cumulative dose of doxorubicin. Cardiac function was assessed by measurement of the LVEF, utilizing resting multigated nuclear medicine (MUGA) scans, and by clinical evaluations. Patients receiving Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride had significantly smaller mean decreases from baseline in LVEF and lower incidences of congestive heart failure than the control group; however, in the largest study, patients with advanced breast cancer receiving FAC with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride had a lower response rate (48% vs. 63%) and a shorter time to progression than patients who received FAC versus placebo.

In the clinical trials, patients who were initially randomized to receive placebo were allowed to receive Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride after a cumulative dose of doxorubicin above 300 mg/m2. Retrospective historical analyses showed that the risk of experiencing a cardiac event at a cumulative dose of doxorubicin above 300 mg/m2 was greater in the patients who did not receive Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride beginning with their seventh course of FAC than in the patients who did receive Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride (HR=13.08; 95% CI: 3.72, 46.03; p<0.001). Overall, 3% of patients treated with Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride developed CHF compared with 22% of patients not receiving Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride.

  • Development of congestive heart failure, defined as having two or more of the following:
    • Cardiomegaly by X-ray
    • Basilar Rales
    • S3 Gallop
    • Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and/or orthopnea and/or significant dyspnea on exertion.
  • Decline from baseline in LVEF by ≥10% and to below the lower limit of normal for the institution.
  • Decline in LVEF by ≥20% from baseline value.
  • Decline in LVEF to ≥5% below lower limit of normal for the institution.

Figure 1 shows the number of patients still on treatment at increasing cumulative doses.
