Chemotherapy Protocol MESOTHELIOMA CISPLATIN-PEMETREXED Regimen Mesothelioma – Cisplatin-Pemetrexed Indication First line therapy of advanced pleural mesothelioma where the disease is not suitable for surgical resection WHO Performance Status 0, 1 Toxicity Drug Cisplatin Pemetrexed Adverse Effect Neuropathy, nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity Diarrhoea, skin reactions, neuropathy The adverse effects listed are not exhaustive. Please refer to the relevant Summary of Product Characteristics for full details. Monitoring Disease A baseline chest x-ray should be performed before starting treatment and up to date (ideally within 1 month) cross section imaging should also be performed Regimen FBC, LFTs and U&Es before each cycle A chest x-ray should be performed before each cycle Consider formal audiology test if relevant Dose Modifications The dose modifications listed are for haematological, liver and renal function only. Dose adjustments may be necessary for other toxicities as well. In principle all dose reductions due to adverse drug reactions should not be reescalated in subsequent cycles without consultant approval. It is also a general rule for chemotherapy that if a third dose reduction is necessary treatment should be stopped. Version 1.3 (January 2016) Page 1 of 8 Mesothelioma – Cisplatin -Pemetrexed Please discuss all dose reductions / delays with the relevant consultant before prescribing, if appropriate. The approach may be different depending on the clinical circumstances. The following is a general guide only. Haematological Prior to prescribing the following treatment criteria must be met; Criteria Neutrophil Platelets Eligible Level equal to or more than 1.5x109/L equal to or more than 100x109/L Consider blood transfusion if patient symptomatic of anaemia or has a haemoglobin of less than 8g/dL Subsequently if the neutrophils are less than 1.5 x109/L, then in the first instance delay treatment for 7 days. If counts recover at this point continue at the initial dose. If counts remain low continue with treatment using a 20% dose reduction. If the myelosuppression recurs despite this dose reduction stop treatment. If the platelets are less than 100x109/L then in the first instance delay treatment for 7 days. If the counts recover at this point continue at the initial dose. If the counts still fall within this range continue using a 20% dose reduction. If the platelet level falls below 50x109/L reduce the dose by 50%. Liver Impairment Drug Adjustment Cisplatin Pemetrexed No dose adjustment required Clinical decision Renal Impairment Drug Cisplatin Pemetrexed Regimen Creatinine Clearance (ml/min) more than 60 Dose (% of original dose) 100 50-60 75 40-50 50 less than 40 Do not use Do not administer if the creatinine clearance is less than 45ml/min Version 1.3 (January 2016) Page 2 of 8 Mesothelioma – Cisplatin -Pemetrexed 21 day cycle for 3-6 cycles (6 cycles will be set in Aria) Drug Dose Days Administration Cisplatin Pemetrexed 75mg/m2 500mg/m2 Intravenous infusion in 1000ml sodium chloride 0.9% with 20mmol 1 potassium chloride at a maximum rate of 1mg cisplatin/min (minimum time 120 minutes) Intravenous infusion in 100ml 1 glucose 5% or sodium chloride 0.9% over 10 minutes Dose Information Cisplatin will be dose banded as per the CSCCN agreed bands Pemetrexed will be dose banded as per the CSCCN agreed bands Administration Information Cisplatin should be administered 30 minutes after the end of the pemetrexed infusion Pemtrexed may be administered in 100ml of either glucose 5% or sodium chloride 0.9% over 10 minutes.

Docetaxel (75)-Prednisolone ver1.2
Description
Chemotherapy Protocol PROSTATE DOCETAXEL(75)-PREDNISOLONE Regimen Prostate-Docetaxel (75)-Prednisolone Indication Advanced castrate resistant prostate cancer Performance status 0, 1, 2 Toxicity Drug Docetaxel Prednisolone Adverse Effect Hypersensitivity, fluid retention, neuropathy, joint pains, nail changes, fatigue Weight gain, GI disturbances, hyperglycaemia, CNS disturbances, cushingoid changes, osteoporosis The adverse effects listed are not exhaustive. Please refer to the relevant Summary of Product Characteristics for full details. Monitoring Drugs FBC, LFTs, PSA and U&Es prior to each cycle Dose Modifications The dose modifications listed are for haematological, liver and renal function and drug specific toxicities only. Dose adjustments may be necessary for other toxicities as well. In principle all dose reductions due to adverse drug reactions should not be re-escalated in subsequent cycles without consultant approval. It is also a general rule for chemotherapy that if a third dose reduction is necessary treatment should be stopped. Please discuss all dose reductions / delays with the relevant consultant before prescribing, if appropriate. The approach may be different depending on the clinical circumstances. Version 1.2 (May 2015) Page 1 of 7 Prostate-Docetaxel(75)-Prednisolone Haematological Consider a blood transfusion if patient symptomatic of anaemia or has a haemoglobin of less than 8g/dL. Prior to cycle one the following criteria should be met; Criteria Neutrophils Platelets Eligible Level 1x109/L or greater 50x109/L or greater Dose modifications based on haematological parameters apply to docetaxel only. Neutrophils (x109/L) 1 or greater less than 1 on the day of treatment or less than 1 with fever/infection at any time or less than 0.5 for more than 7 days Platelets (x109/L) 50 or greater less than 50 Dose Modifications (docetaxel) 100% 1st Occurrence Delay until recovery to 1x109/L or greater and then give 60mg/m2 2nd Occurrence Delay until recovery to 1x109/L or greater then give 45mg/m2 Dose Modifications (docetaxel) 100% 1st Occurrence Delay until recovery to 50x109/L or greater then give 60mg/m2 2nd Occurrence Delay until recovery to 50x109/L or greater then give 45mg/m2 Hepatic Impairment Consider weekly scheduling if there is a mild or moderate hepatic impairment Drug Bilirubin (μmol/L) AST/ALT (units/L) Alk Phos Dose (units/L) (% of original dose) N/A greater than 1.5xULN and greater than 2.5xULN Docetaxel greater than ULN and/ or greater than 3.5xULN and greater than 6xULN Give 75% Not Recommended Renal Impairment Drug Docetaxel Creatinine Clearance (ml/min) N/A Dose (% of original dose) No dose adjustment needed Version 1.2 (May 2015) Page 2 of 7 Prostate-Docetaxel(75)-Prednisolone Other Dose reductions or interruptions in therapy are not necessary for those toxicities that are considered unlikely to be serious or life threatening. For example, alopecia, altered taste or nail changes. For all other non-haematological NCI-CTC grade 3 and above toxicities delay treatment until the adverse effect has resolved to NCI-CTC grade 1 or below. The dose should then be reduced to 60mg/m2 or discontinued as appropriate. The following recommendations apply to docetaxel only. The prednisolone should be continued if the docetaxel is delayed. It should be stopped if the docetaxel is stopped but may require a reducing schedule. Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy at NCI-CTC grade 3 should result in a dose reduction from 75mg/m2 to 60mg/m2 once the neuropathy has resolved to NCI-CTC grade 2 or below. If the NCI-CTC grade 3 neuropathy occurred at doses lower than 75mg/m2 or a NCI-CTC grade 4 toxicity develops consider stopping treatment. Lacrimation Excessive lacrimation is related to cumulative docetaxel doses and occurs after a median of 400mg/m². Symptomatic treatment with hypromellose 0.3% eye drops four times a day may help. However, if the ocular irritation continues reduce the docetaxel dose to 60mg/m2. Skin Delay the docetaxel where a NCI-CTC grade 3 cutaneous toxicity is present on day one of the cycle until it resolves to NCI-CTC grade 1 or below. The subsequent doses of docetaxel should be reduced from 75mg/m2 to 60mg/m2. If it occurs with a dose of 60mg/m2 or if there is no recovery after two weeks, docetaxel treatment should be stopped. Where a NCI-CTC grade 3 cutaneous toxicity occurs between cycles with recovery by day one then reduce the docetaxel dose as described. Docetaxel should be stopped in response to a NCI-CTC grade 4 cutaneous toxicity. Stomatitis A NCI-CTC grade 2 stomatitis should result in a delay in treatment until it has become NCICTC grade 1 or below. Treatment may then be re-started at the previous dose. For a NCICTC grade 3 stomatitis delay treatment until it has recovered to NCI-CTC grade 1 or below then reduce the dose to 60mg/m2. Treatment should be stopped in relation to a NCI-CTC grade 4 stomatitis. Version 1.2 (May 2015) Page 3 of 7 Prostate-Docetaxel(75)-Prednisolone Regimen Docetaxel is highly myelosuppressive and in those with poor bone marrow reserves (for example due to extensive prior treatment, bone metastasis or extensive skeletal radiation) consider a starting dose of 60mg/m² with a view to increase to 75mg/m² if well tolerated. 21 day cycle for up to 10 cycles Drug Docetaxel Prednisolone Dose 75mg/m2 5mg twice a day Days 1 Administration Intravenous infusion in 250ml sodium chloride 0.9% over 60 minutes 1-21 incl. Oral Dose Information Docetaxel will be banded as per the CSCCN agreed bands. Docetaxel induced fluid retention can lead to weight gain. This is not a reason to alter the doses Docetaxel doses of more than 200mg should be diluted in 500ml sodium chloride 0.9% (maximum concentration 0.74mg/ml) Prednisolone is available as 5mg (uncoated) and 2.5mg and 5mg (enteric coated) tablets. Administration Information Docetaxel hypersensitivity reactions tend to occur with the first or second infusion. For minor symptoms such as flushing or localised rashes the infusion should not be interrupted. For severe reactions including profound hypotension, bronchospasm and generalised erythema discontinue the infusion immediately. Prednisolone should be taken with or after food. Extravasation Docetaxel - exfoliant Additional Therapy Premedication - dexamethasone 8mg oral at 12 hours, 3 hours and 1 hour prior to docetaxel Antiemetics 15-30 minutes prior to chemotherapy - metoclopramide 10mg oral or intravenous Version 1.2 (May 2015) Page 4 of 7 Prostate-Docetaxel(75)-Prednisolone As take home medication - metoclopramide 10mg oral three times a day for 3 days then as required Coding (OPCS) Procurement – X71.1 Delivery – X72.3 References 1.Tannock IF, deWit R, Berry WR et al.
