Contraindications
Hypersensitivity. Pregnancy & lactation. Concomitant use w/ yellow fever vaccine & w/ live virus & bacterial vaccines.
Special Precautions
Myelosuppression. Perform complete blood counts during the treatment, until recovery is achieved &/or after transplant for at least 30 days. Prophylactic or empiric use of anti-infectives for prevention & management of infections during the neutropenic period. Hepatic impairment. Monitor serum transaminase, alkaline phosphatase & bilirubin regularly following transplant. Patients who received prior radiation therapy, ≥3 cycles of chemotherapy or prior progenitor cell transplant. History of cardiac & renal diseases. Monitor cardiac & renal function during thiotepa therapy. May induce pulmonary toxicity. Previous brain or craniospinal irradiation. Increased risk of secondary malignancy. Concomitant use w/ live attenuated vaccines (except yellow fever vaccines), phenytoin & fosphenytoin. Concurrent administration w/ cyclophosphamide. Concomitant of CYP2B6 or CYP3A4. May impair male or female fertility. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery.
Adverse Reactions
Increased infection susceptibility, sepsis; leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, anaemia, pancytopenia, granulocytopenia; acute or chronic graft versus host disease; anorexia, decreased appetite, hyperglycaemia; confusional state, mental status changes, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, encephalopathy, convulsion, paraesthesia; conjunctivitis; impaired hearing, ototoxicity, tinnitus; arrhythmia, tachycardia, cardiac failure; lymphoedema, HTN; idiopathic pneumonia syndrome, epistaxis; nausea, stomatitis, oesophagitis, vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, enteritis, colitis; veno-occlusive liver disease, hepatomegaly, jaundice; rash, pruritus, alopecia; back pain, myalgia, athralgia; haemorrhagic cystitis; azoospermia, amenorrhoea, vag haemorrhage; pyrexia, asthenia, chills, generalised oedema, inj site pain & inflammation, mucosal inflammation; increased wt, increased blood bilirubin, amylase & transaminases. Paed population: Increased infection susceptibility, sepsis, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, anaemia, pancytopenia, granulocytopenia, acute graft versus host disease, chronic graft versus host disease, hypopituitarism, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, anorexia, hyperglycaemia, mental status changes, headache, encephalopathy, convulsion, cerebral haemorrhage, memory impairment, paresis, impaired hearing, cardiac arrest, haemorrhage, pneumonitis, nausea, stomatitis, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, venoocclusive liver disease, rash, erythema, desquamation, pigmentation disorder, growth retardation, bladder disorders, pyrexia, mucosal inflammation, pain, multi-organ failure; increased blood bilirubin, transaminases, blood creatinine, AST, ALT.
Drug Interactions
Increased plasma conc w/ CYP2B (eg, clopidogrel & ticlopidine) or CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, azole antifungals, macrolides & protease inhibitors). Increased plasma conc of active metabolite w/ CYP450 inducers (eg, rifampicin, carbamazepin, phenobarb). Increased plasma conc of ifosfamide, tamoxifen, bupropion, efavirenz & cyclophosphamide. Decreased conc of active cyclophosphamide metabolite. Risk of fatal generalized vaccine-induced disease w/ yellow fever vaccine. Risk of systemic, possibly fatal disease w/ live attenuated vaccines (except yellow fever). Risk of exacerbation of convulsion due to decreased phenytoin digestive absorption. Risk of toxicity enhancement & loss of efficacy due to increased hepatic metabolism by phenytoin. Excessive immunosuppression w/ risk of lymphoproliferation w/ ciclosporine & tacrolimus. Prolonged action of succinylcholine. May potentiate the risk of haematologic adverse reactions w/ other myelosuppressive or myelotoxic agents (ie, cyclophosphamide, melphalan, busulfan, fludarabine, treosulfan). Increased thrombotic risk w/ anticoagulant treatment.
