Continue inj to ensure bathing of the prostatic and pendulous urethra during removal of catheter after instillation. If response is observed after 1 course of 4 instillations, a 2nd course of 4 instillations may be given at a reduced dosage (e.g. 15-60 mg with intervals of 1-2 weeks between instillations). For prophylaxis of recurrence after surgical removal of superficial tumours of the bladder: 30-60 mg in 60 mL sterile water instilled into the bladder for 2 hours and repeated at intervals of 1-2 weeks, for up to 8 instillations. This may be followed by instillations of 30-60 mg every 4-6 weeks for 1 year or more. Alternatively, 90 mg in 100 mL sterile water is instilled into the bladder as single dose, with the patient in the left lateral position, transfer to the right lateral position after 15 minutes, then empty the bladder after another 15 minutes. Dose reduction, dosing interruption, or discontinuation may be required according to individual haematologic values, refer to detailed product guideline.

Hướng dẫn pha thuốc
Initially, reconstitute vials labelled as 15 mg, 30 mg, and 100 mg with 1.5 mL, 3 mL, and 10 mL of sterile water for inj respectively. Further dilute reconstituted solution prior to administration. Solutions must be filtered through 0.22-micron filter prior to administration. Urethral: Reconstitute 60 mg with 5 mL sterile water and dilute to 15 mL using a sterile mixture of lubricating jelly and water.
Pregnancy and lactation. Concomitant administration with bacterial or live or live-attenuated viral vaccines (e.g. yellow fever vaccine).

Tương tác
May increase risk of pulmonary toxicity and haematologic adverse reactions with other cytotoxic agents (e.g. busulfan, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide). Enhanced toxicity with other alkylating agents (e.g. nitrogen mustard, cyclophosphamide). Enhanced effects of suxamethonium. May reduce absorption of digoxin. May decrease concentrations of the active metabolite (triethylenephosphoramide) with inhibitors of CYP2B6 (e.g. clopidogrel, ticlopidine) or CYP3A4 (e.g. itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir). May increase metabolism with CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital). May increase plasma concentrations of CYP2B6 substrates (e.g. ifosfamide, tamoxifen, bupropion, efavirenz, cyclophosphamide). May decrease digestive absorption of phenytoin; may diminish efficacy due to increased hepatic metabolism with phenytoin. Enhanced immunosuppressive effect with ciclosporin and tacrolimus. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of generalised vaccine-induced disease with yellow fever vaccine. Increased risk of systemic diseases with bacterial or live or live-attenuated viral vaccines.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Thiotepa is an ethyleneimine compound and polyfunctional cytotoxic agent. Its mechanism is suspected to occur through the release of ethylene imine radicals that disrupt the bonds of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which is initiated by alkylation of guanine at the N-7 position thus breaking the linkage between sugar and purine base and liberating alkylated guanines. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Minimal absorption through serous membranes (e.g. bladder, pleura). Distribution: Plasma protein binding: Approx 10-20%. Metabolism: Rapidly and extensively metabolised in the liver via oxidative desulfuration by CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes to the major and active metabolite, triethylenephosphoramide (TEPA). Excretion: Via urine (<2% as unchanged drug, <11% as TEPA). Elimination half-life: 1.5-4.1 hours (thiotepa); 4.9-17.6 hours (TEPA).
