Consider allopurinol (300mg) once a day for the prevention of tumour lysis syndrome. Reduce dose to 100mg daily if GFR <30ml/min.

5 2. All patients should receive Pneumocystis jirovecii prophylaxis throughout treatment as dapsone 100mg daily. (Note that cotrimoxazole should not be given due to the potential for interaction with ). 3. Aciclovir 400mg twice daily. 4. Hydration (with sodium bicarbonate containing infusions) throughout treatment is essential (at least 3 litres a day). Urinary ph must be maintained between 7 and 8 throughout the period of treatment to ensure excretion. If 100mmol sodium bicarbonate / litre is insufficient to keep the urine ph>7, give mmol sodium bicarbonate (i.e ml of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate) over minutes (piggy back onto existing hydration fluids). If repeated extra doses are required, increase the hydration fluids to contain 150mmol sodium bicarbonate / litre. 6. Strict fluid balance chart should be maintained. Prescribe furosemide 20-40mg stat if fluid balance is 2 litres positive. 7. Methotrexate levels every 24 hours, at 48 hours after commencement of the infusion. If the patient is not vomiting folinic acid may be given orally after the first two doses. Folinic acid rescue should continue until the serum level falls to less than 0.1 micromol/l Drug interactions AVOID concurrent use of the following drugs: Aspirin Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories Penicillins (Including Tazocin ) Aminoglycosides Trimethoprim (including co-trimoxazole) Probenacid Sulphonamides Neutropenic sepsis should be managed with Meropenem (discuss with Microbiologist) Pre-treatment tests Prior to day 1: FBC, U&Es, LFTs. Patients require insertion of a double or triple lumen central venous catheter. Prior to cycle 1 and cycle 3: Creatinine clearance measured by 24 hour urine collection or chromium EDTA.

6 Repeat on cycle 2 if there is delayed excretion with the 1 st cycle. Repeat if there is a 20% or greater increase in serum creatinine from the previous cycle. Consider baseline echocardiogram (patients need to be able to tolerate large volumes of fluid). Prior to each asparaginase dose: FBC U&Es & LFTS Blood glucose (daily) Amylase Clotting screen, ATIII, fibrinogen, APTT. Dose modifications and toxicities 1. Haematological toxicity Delay treatment until neutrophils > 1 x10 9 /l and platelets > 100x10 9 /l unless cytopenias are considered to be disease-related. If grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelets <25x10 9 /l) occurs in cycle 1, reduce, ifosfamide and etoposide doses by 33% in cycle 2. Asparaginase: Platelets must be >25x10 9 /l before each asparaginase dose. If the level of fibrinogen is below 0.8 g/ litre and/or the level of ATIII is below 70% and/or the PTT is >70 seconds at any time, then consider replacement therapy with fresh frozen plasma, fibrinogen or antithrombin III concentrate. Discuss with Consultant. REVIEWED BY K.GRAHAM AUTHORISED BY: Dr J Addada PAGE 6 of 10

7 2. Non-Haematological toxicity Asparaginase: Discontinue Asparaginase in the presence of: pancreatitis (raised amylase or low serum insulin) thrombosis grade 3 or 4 hypersensitivity reaction any grade 3 non-haematological toxicity Reduce asparaginase dose to 50% if previous grade 1 or 2 hypersensitivity reaction. In this case, consider the use of prednisolone 1mg/kg/day. Discuss with Consultant. 3. Renal impairment GFR ml/min Methotrexate dose > 80 Full dose (2g/m 2 ) % dose (1g/m 2 ) <50 Do not give Consider alternative approaches (e.g. intrathecal) Check serum creatinine levels daily whilst receiving folinic acid rescue. GFR ml/min Ifosfamide Dose Etoposide Dose > 60 Full dose Full dose % of dose 80% of dose < 40 Clinical decision Clinical decision Asparaginase: No dose adjustment required in renal impairment. 4. Hepatic impairment Methotrexate Bilirubin AST/ALT micromol/l Units/L Dose <50 & < % or >180 75% >85 omit Etoposide Bilirubin micromol/l AST/ALT IU/L Etoposide Dose REVIEWED BY K.GRAHAM AUTHORISED BY: Dr J Addada PAGE 7 of 10

8 % >51 >180 omit Ifosfamide No standard dose modification therefore clinical decision. Consider dose reduction of ifosfamide in patients with significant hepatic dysfunction. The manufacturer states that ifosfamide is not recommended if bilirubin>17umol/l or serum transaminases or ALP>2.5xULN. Clinical decision. Discuss with Consultant if albumin <35g/l (see Neurotoxicity). Asparaginase: Discontinue if ALT>5xULN or Bil>3xULN 5. Guidance for Administration and Monitoring of Asparaginase Side effects Careful monitoring is required due to the risk of toxicities: Hypersensitivity reactions which can be severe/life threatening Clotting abnormalities, including a reduction in fibrinogen and clotting factors or thrombosis, particularly of the CNS Pancreatitis Hyperglycaemia that may require insulin Hepatotoxicity Myelosuppression Administration of Asparaginase There is a risk of anaphylaxis, therefore ensure an anaphylaxis box containing adrenaline is readily available An intradermal test dose is given before EACH dose. Monitor the patient during and for 1 hour afterwards. A Dr must review the test dose site. If redness/wheals develop, the intravenous dose is NOT to be given. Inform the Consultant. The patient MUST be monitored during the intravenous dose and for 1 hour afterwards for signs of allergic reaction. STOP the infusion if there are any signs of an allergic reaction and administer supportive medicines/notify the Dr. 6.

Neurotoxicity Ifosfamide may cause a reversible encephalopathy at high doses. This usually manifests as decreased rousability and disorientation often leading to somnolence. In severe cases this can progress to irreversible encephalopathy and death. Patients should be monitored regularly for signs/symptoms of neurotoxicity. Symptoms may develop within 2 hours of initiation or up to 28 days after treatment; the usual onset is within hours after the initiation of ifosfamide and disappears within hours of discontinuing ifosfamide. Risk factors include: Elevated serum creatinine Previous exposure to cisplatin (cumulative dose >300mg/m 2 ) Low serum albumin. Discuss with Consultant if albumin <35g/l. Previous exposure to ifosfamide Abdominal lymphoma Short ifosfamide infusions (<6hrs) Prior cranial irradiation Other CNS-active drugs If a patient is at risk of developing encephalopathy, consideration should be given to the use of an alternative (non-ifosfamide containing) regimen. Management of ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy 1. Discontinue ifosfamide. 2. Consider use of methylthioninium chloride (methylene blue) (Unlicensed indication): REVIEWED BY K.GRAHAM AUTHORISED BY: Dr J Addada PAGE 9 of 10

10 50mg slow intravenous bolus over 5 minutes. This may need to repeated up to 6 times/day. Methylthioninium chloride is available as a 0.5% solution; 10ml of 0.5% solution is equivalent to 50mg. The 0.5% solution does not require filtering, and is incompatible with sodium chloride 0.9% so will need to be diluted in 5% dextrose if dilution is necessary. 3. In patients who have had a history of ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy and require further doses of ifosfamide, methylthioninium chloride has been used prophylactically (50mg slow intravenous bolus over 5 minutes 4 times daily). 4. Haloperidol & lorazepam have been reported to help with hallucinations and agitation. Use with caution, -no controlled trials exist and these agents may mask the evolution or severity of neurotoxicity. Methylthioninium chloride frequently colours secretions blue, patients should be made aware of this effect 8. Haemorrhagic Cystitis Urine should be dipstick tested for signs of haematuria. If microscopic haematuria is present, an increase in hydration can be used to facilitate the elimination of ifosfamide and its metabolites. Additional mesna appears to have little benefit as its role is in prevention rather than treatment. However, owing to its low toxicity consideration should be given to increasing the dose of mesna (although arbitrary, local practice is to double the dose). In the case of frank haematuria, a urological opinion should be sought. Mesna is of little value at this point as it s role is to prevent haemorrhagic cystitis and not for its treatment.
