INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2014.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

An antitumor drug of plant origin (from the taxoid group).
Accumulates tubulin in microtubules, prevents their disintegration, which disrupts the process of dividing the tumor cells. Docetaxel is stored for a long time in cells, where its concentration reaches high values. In addition, docetaxel is active against some, though not all, cells that produce in excess P-glycoprotein (P-gP), encoded by the multiple resistance gene to chemotherapeutic drugs.
In vivo docetaxel has a broad spectrum of activity against tumors of mice and transplanted human tumor cells.

The efficacy of docetaxel has been proven in breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, hormone-resistant prostate cancer, stomach cancer, head and neck cancer.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Distribution

The pharmacokinetics of docetaxel is dose-dependent and corresponds to a three-phase pharmacokinetic model with T 1/2 in the?,?, And? -phases - 4 min, 36 min and 11.1 h respectively.

After a one-hour infusion of docetaxel at a dose of 100 mg / m, the average C max of docetaxel in plasma was 3.7 Ојg / ml with a corresponding AUC value of 4.6 Ојg / hr / ml.
The average value of V d in the equilibrium state is 113 liters.
The binding of docetaxel to plasma proteins is more than 95%.

Metabolism and excretion

The average value of the total clearance in the equilibrium state is 21 l / h / m.
The values ​​of total clearance of docetaxel in different patients differed by approximately 50%.
Docetaxel after oxidation of the tert-butyl ether group with the participation of isoenzymes of the P450 system is excreted by the kidneys for 7 days, with urine (6% of the administered dose) and through the gastrointestinal tract, with feces (75% of the administered dose).
About 80% of the administered dose of docetaxel is excreted for 48 hours with feces in the form of metabolites (the main inactive metabolite and three less significant inactive metabolites) and in a very small amount - unchanged.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases

The pharmacokinetics of docetaxel does not depend on the age and sex of the patient.

In case of mild violations of liver function (ALT and ACT activity not more than 1.5 of their VGN in combination with AC activity of not more than 2.5 VGN), the total clearance of docetaxel is reduced by an average of 27%.

With mild or moderate fluid retention, clearance of docetaxel does not change;
there is no information on its clearance with a pronounced fluid retention.
In combined use, docetaxel does not affect the clearance of doxorubicin and the plasma concentration of doxorubicinol (doxorubicin metabolite).

The pharmacokinetic parameters of docetaxel, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide did not change with their simultaneous application.

Capecitabine does not affect the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel ( Cmax , AUC), and docetaxel, in turn, does not affect the pharmacokinetics of capecitabine and the most important metabolite of capecitabine (5'-DFUR).

The clearance of docetaxel in combination therapy with cisplatin does not change compared to its clearance in monotherapy.
The pharmacokinetic profile of cisplatin administered shortly after infusion of docetaxel did not differ from that of single cisplatin.
Prednisone does not affect the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel administered after standard premedication with dexamethasone.

Combination therapy with docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil does not change their pharmacokinetic parameters.

In children, pharmacokinetic parameters in monotherapy with docetaxel and docetaxel in combination with cisplatin and fluorouracil were similar to those in adults.

For information on correcting doses of cisplatin and fluorouracil, instructions for the use of these drugs should be used.
Correction of dose

General principles

Taxotere ® should be administered with a neutrophil count in the peripheral blood of ≤ 1500 / μL.
In the case of febrile neutropenia, the number of neutrophils <500 / Ојl lasting more than one week, expressed or cumulative (intensifying with repeated administration) skin reactions, or severe peripheral neuropathy with docetaxel therapy, its dose in the following administrations should be reduced from 100 mg / m 2 to 75 mg / m 2 and / or from 75 mg / m 2 to 60 mg / m 2 . If such reactions persist and with a dose of docetaxel 60 mg / m 2 , treatment with the drug should be discontinued.
Adjuvant treatment of breast cancer

Patients with breast cancer who receive adjuvant therapy with Taxotere В® in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (TAC regimen), the introduction of G-CSF is recommended for primary prevention.
Patients who underwent febrile neutropenia or neutropenic infection in all subsequent cycles should reduce the dose of Taxotere В® to 60 mg / m 2 . In patients who developed stomatitis of 3 or 4 degrees of severity, it is necessary to reduce the dose of docetaxel to 60 mg / m 2 .
Taxotere В® in combination with cisplatin

Patients who initially received docetaxel at a dose of 75 mg / m 2 in combination with cisplatin and whose platelet count in the previous cycle decreased to 25,000 / ОјL, or in patients who developed febrile neutropenia, or in patients with severe non-hematologic toxicity , the dose of docetaxel in subsequent cycles should be reduced to 65 mg / m 2 .

To correct the dose of cisplatin should use the instruction for medical use of cisplatin.

Taxotere В® in combination with capecitabine

To correct the dose of capecitabine when combined with Taxotere В® , instruction should be used for the medical use of capecitabine.

At the first appearance of toxicity of 2 degrees of severity, which is maintained at the beginning of the next cycle of Taxotere В® / capecitabine, the next treatment cycle can be postponed until the toxicity decreases to 0-1 severity, and 100% of the initial dose is administered during the next treatment cycle.

In patients with a second occurrence of grade 2 toxicity or the first development of grade 3 toxicity at any time of the cycle, treatment is postponed until toxicity is reduced to 0-1 severity, then treatment with TaxotereВ® is resumed at a dose of 55 mg / m 2 .

For any subsequent occurrence of toxicity or the appearance of any toxicity of 4 degrees of severity, administration of TaxotereВ® should be discontinued.

Taxotere В® in combination with trastuzumab

To correct the dose of trastuzumab, you should use the instructions for the medical use of trastuzumab.

Taxotere В® in combination with cisplatin and fluorouracil

Patients receiving Taxotere В® in combination with cisplatin and fluorouracil should, in accordance with existing generally accepted recommendations, receive antiemetic drugs and sufficient hydration.
To reduce the risk of complicated neutropenia, G-CSF should be used.
If, despite the use of G-CSF, febrile neutropenia, prolonged neutropenia or neutropenic infection occurs, the dose of Taxotere В® should be reduced from 75 to 60 mg / m 2 .
In the subsequent development of episodes of complicated neutropenia, it is recommended to reduce the dose of Taxotere В® from 60 mg / m 2 to 45 mg / m 2 .With the development of thrombocytopenia of 4 degrees of severity, the dose of Taxotere В® is recommended to be reduced from 75 mg / m 2 to 60 mg / m 2.Subsequent cycles with docetaxel are possible with neutrophil count> 1500 / ОјL and platelets> 100,000 / ОјL. With persistent retention of these toxic manifestations, treatment should be discontinued.
The recommended dose adjustment for toxic development in patients receiving Taxotere В® in combination with cisplatin and fluorouracil (FU)

Toxicity Correction of dose

Diarrhea 3 degrees of severity First episode: reduce the dose of FU by 20% Repeat episode: reduce the dose of Taxotere В® by 20%

Diarrhea 4 degrees of severity First episode: reduce the dose of Taxotere В® and FU by 20% Repeat episode: stop treatment

Stomatitis / mucositis Grade 3 first episode: reduce the dose FU 20% Re episode to terminate only the application FU in all subsequent cycles third episode: reduce the dose of Taxotere В® 20%
stomatitis / mucositis 4 severity first episode to terminate only the application FU in all subsequent cycles repeated episode reduce drug dose Taxotere В® in 20%
use appropriate for medical use instructions for advice on correcting doses of cisplatin and fluorouracil.
When non-small cell carcinoma of the head and neck in patients who develop complicated neutropenia (including prolonged neutropenia, febrile neutropenia or infection), it is recommended the use of G-CSF (eg, 1 to 15 days) in all subsequent cycles as a prophylactic measure.

Determining the frequency of adverse reactions (according to WHO classification): very common (10%?), Often (1% and <10%, uncommon (0.1% and <1%), rarely (0.01% and <0.1%)??? very rare (<0.01%), the unknown frequency (when the available data it is not possible to assess the incidence of adverse events).
monotherapy drug Taxotere В® (75 mg / m 2 and 100 mg / m 2 )
From the hematopoietic system:very often - reversible and non-cumulative (not aggravated by repeated administration) neutropenia, which was observed in 96.6% of patients who did not receive G-CSF (the number of neutrophils is reduced to a minimum on average 7 days, patients with intensive prior chemotherapy, this period may be shorter and the average duration of significant neutropenia <500 cells / well is 7 days), febrile neutropenia, infections; often - severe infections due to decreased number of neutrophils in peripheral blood of <500 / ul, serious infections including sepsis and pneumonia (including fatal), thrombocytopenia <100,000 / microliter, bleeding due to thrombocytopenia, <50,000 / ul, anemia (hemoglobin <11 g / dl), including: severe anemia (hemoglobin <8 g / dL); rarely - severe thrombocytopenia.
Allergic reactions:very often - flushing of the skin; rash together with itching and without it; chest tightness; backache; dyspnea; drug fever or chills (usually occur within a few minutes after the start of the infusion of the drug Taxotere В® and are easy to moderate); often - severe allergic reactions, characterized by a decrease in blood pressure and / or bronchospasm, generalized rash / erythema (disappear after cessation of infusion therapy and the appropriate destination).
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders:very often - localized eruptions mainly on the hands and feet, as well as on the face and chest, often accompanied by itching (these reactions are usually mild or moderately expressed, generally occurred within one week after the docetaxel infusion), hypo- and hyperpigmentation nails, pain in the nails, onycholysis (nail loss on the part of the free edge of the nail), alopecia; often - severe skin reactions such as rash followed by desquamation, including severe injury syndrome palms and soles, which may require interruption or termination of treatment with docetaxel; rarely - severe alopecia. In some cases, an additional influence on the occurrence of these reactions has provided a combination of several factors, such as opportunistic infections, concomitant therapy, and the underlying disease.
From the digestive system: very often - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, stomatitis; often - severe nausea, severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, constipation, severe stomatitis, esophagitis, epigastric pain (including strong), gastrointestinal bleeding, increased ACT serum activity, ALT, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin in the blood, more than 2.5 times exceeding the ULN; rarely - severe gastrointestinal bleeding, severe constipation, severe esophagitis.

Peripheral edema usually started with lower limbs and could move to a generalized weight gain of 3 kg or more. Fluid retention is cumulative (increases with repeated administration of the drug). Fluid retention has not been accompanied by acute episodes of oliguria or lowering blood pressure. Often - pronounced generalized and localized pain (including chest pain noncardia genesis).
Severe fluid retention. In patients treated with docetaxel alone at a dose of 100 mg / m 2 , the median total dose to the treatment because of fluid retention was more than 1000 mg / m 2 , and the median time to reverse development of fluid retention - 16.4 weeks (from 0 to 42 weeks). Patients who received premedication observed delay start moderate or severe fluid retention (average total dose of docetaxel, where the observed water retention, formed during premedication 818.9 mg / m 2 , and without premedication - 489.7 mg / m 2 ) but in some cases, fluid retention has been developing during the early courses of therapy.
