Adult: Various dosage regimens are available. Regimen 1: 8-12 g/m2 equally divided as single daily doses over 3-5 days, repeated every 2-4 weeks. Regimen 2: 5-6 g/m2 (Max 10 g) as a single 24-hour infusion, repeated every 3-4 weeks. Regimen 3: 2‐2.4 g/m2 (50 ‐ 60 mg/kg) daily for 5 consecutive days, repeated every 3-4 weeks. To be given with mesna and adequate hydration of at least 2 L of oral or IV fluid per day. Dosage, treatment duration and/or intervals depend on patient tolerability, blood count and recovery from any adverse effects.

Significant: Haemorrhagic cystitis, secondary malignancies, veno-occlusive liver disease/hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions, impaired wound healing, amenorrhoea, azoospermia, sterility, nausea, vomiting, reactivation of latent infections. Gastrointestinal disorders: Diarrhoea, stomatitis. General disorders and administration site conditions: Fatigue, malaise, weakness. Hepatobiliary disorders: Hepatotoxicity. Metabolism and nutrition disorders: Anorexia, metabolic acidosis. Nervous system disorders: Drowsiness, encephalopathy. Renal and urinary disorders: Haematuria. Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Alopecia, dermatitis, papular rash. Vascular disorders: Hypotension, phlebitis. Potentially Fatal: Myelosuppression (resulting in leucopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anaemia), cardiotoxicity (e.g. cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias or other ECG changes, pericardial effusion, pericarditis, epicardial fibrosis), neurotoxicity, severe nephrotoxicity leading to renal failure, pulmonary toxicity (e.g. interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis) leading to respiratory failure, severe immunosuppression (leading to serious infection, sepsis or septic shock).

Ensure proper hydration. This drug may cause CNS effects that impair mental alertness; if affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
Chỉ số theo dõi
Monitor CBC with differential (before and after each cycle), urine output, urinalysis (before each dose), hepatic and renal function tests (before and during treatment). Assess for signs of neurotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, and haemorrhagic cystitis.
Quá liều
Symptoms: Myelosuppression, CNS toxicity, nephrotoxicity, and mucositis. Management: Supportive treatment. Administration of mesna for cystitis prophylaxis may help prevent urotoxic effects.
Tương tác
Increased formation of toxic metabolites when used concomitantly with CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, rifampicin, corticosteroids). CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, sorafenib) may reduce the effectiveness of ifosfamide. Increased risk of haemorrhagic cystitis with previous or concomitant busulfan treatment. Increased haematoxicity with ACE inhibitors, carboplatin, cisplatin, natalizumab. Increased cardiotoxicity with anthracyclines. Increased pulmonary toxicity with amiodarone, granulocyte colony/granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factors. Increased nephrotoxicity with aminoglycosides, aciclovir, amphotericin B, carboplatin, cisplatin. Additive CNS effects with antiemetics, antihistamines, narcotics, sedatives. Increased neurotoxicity with aprepitant. Increased gastrointestinal toxicity with IV docetaxel. Increased INR with warfarin. Increased risk of thromboembolic complications with tamoxifen. May enhance the hypoglycaemic effects of antidiabetic agents (e.g. sulfonylureas). May reduce the formation of the active metabolite of irinotecan. Concurrent use of live vaccines may lead to vaccine-induced infection.

Increased toxicity with St. John's wort. Grapefruit or grapefruit juice may reduce the efficacy of ifosfamide. Alcohol may increase the risk of hepatic dysfunction or ifosfamide-induced nausea and vomiting.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Ifosfamide is converted to its active metabolites via hepatic microsomal enzymes. These active metabolites cause cross-linking of DNA strands by binding with nucleic acids and other intracellular structures, resulting in cell death. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from the site of administration. Distribution: Distributed into the CSF. Enters breast milk. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver via 2 metabolic pathways including ring oxidation to form the active metabolite, 4-hydroxy-ifosfamide and side-chain oxidation to form the inactive metabolites, 3-dechloro-ethylifosfamide or 2-dechloro-ethylifosfamide with the liberation of the toxic metabolite, chloroacetaldehyde. Excretion: Mainly via urine, as unchanged drug and metabolites. Elimination half-life: Approx 15 hours (high doses); approx 7 hours (lower doses).
