Black Box Warning
WARNINGS
See full prescribing information for complete Boxed Warning.
* Cardiac function should be monitored regularly in patients receiving DaunoXome (daunorubicin citrate liposome injection) because of the potential risk for cardiac toxicity and congestive heart failure. Cardiac monitoring is advised especially in those patients who have received prior anthracyclines or who have pre-existing cardiac disease or who have had prior radiotherapy encompassing the heart.
  • Severe myelosuppression may occur.
  • DaunoXome should be administered only under the supervision of a physician who is experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
  • Dosage should be reduced in patients with impaired hepatic function.
  • A triad of back pain, flushing, and chest tightness has been reported in 13.8% of the patients (16/116) treated with DaunoXome in the Phase III clinical trial, and in 2.7% of treatment cycles (27/994). This triad generally occurs during the first five minutes of the infusion, subsides with interruption of the infusion, and generally does not recur if the infusion is then resumed at a slower rate.

Overview

Daunorubicin liposome is an anthracycline that is FDA approved for the treatment of advanced HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma. There is a Black Box Warning for this drug as shown here. Common adverse reactions include Cardiotoxicity, Myelosuppression.

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Colon cancer

In a phase II clinical trial, DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome in doses of 100 milligrams/square meter every 3 weeks was not associated with significant antitumor activity in patients with metastatic ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE COLON progressing after 5-fluorouracil Do not mix DaunoXome with other drugs.


Kaposi's sarcoma, First line therapy; in patients with advanced HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma

Dosing Information

  • Important Note

The dose OF Daunorubicin citrate liposome is different than that of conventional Daunorubicin and the two formulations are not interchangeable. Consult the drug evaluation monograph entitled "daunorubicin" for clinical use of this formulation. Daunorubicin citrate liposome is indicated as a first-line cytotoxic therapy for advanced HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma. It is not recommended in patients with less than advanced Kaposi's sarcoma. The dose of DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome is 40 milligrams/square meter, administered intravenously over 60 minutes, every 2 weeks. Blood counts should be repeated prior to each dose, and therapy withheld if the absolute granulocyte count is less than 750 cells/cubic millimeter. Treatment should be continued until there is evidence of progressive disease (eg, based on best response achieved: new visceral sites of involvement, or progression of visceral disease; development of 10 or more new cutaneous lesions or a 25% increase in the number of lesions compared to baseline; a change in the character of 25% or more of all previously counted flat lesions to raised; increase in the surface area the indicator lesions), or until other complications of HIV disease require discontinuation of therapy [11][7].

  • In the treatment of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, the recommended dose of DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome is 40 milligrams/square meter every 14 days [11]. The median duration of response in one study was 12 weeks [10].
  • Important Note

The dose of DAUNOrubicin CITRATE LIPOSOME is different than that of conventional DAUNOrubicin and the two formulations are not interchangeable. Consult the Drug Evaluation monograph entitled "DAUNOrubicin" for clinical use of this formulation.

  • Infiltration

Care should be given to avoid extravasation.

  • Intravenous rate of administration

DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome should be administered diluted in 5% Dextrose in Water for Injection in volumes of 100 mL and administered via intravenous infusion over 60 minutes [11]. The manufacturer of DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome emphasizes that an inline filter should NOT be used [11].

  • Intravenous solution preparation
  • DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome should be diluted 1:1 with 5% Dextrose Injection (D5W) before administration. Each vial of DaunoXome(R) contains DAUNOrubicin citrate equivalent to 50 milligrams DAUNOrubicin base, at a concentration of 2 mg/mL. The recommended concentration after dilution is 1 mg/mL. The only fluid which may be mixed with DaunoXome(R) is 5% Dextrose Injection; the drug must not be mixed with saline, bacteriostatic agents such as benzyl alcohol, or any other solution. Strictly observe aseptic technique in all handling. Do not use an inline filter for intravenous infusion of DaunoXome [11].
  • The calculated volume of DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome should be drawn from the vial into a sterile syringe, and transferred into a sterile infusion bag containing an equivalent volume of 5% Dextrose Injection (D5W). Diluted DAUNOrubicin citrate liposome should be administered immediately; if not used immediately, the dose should be stored refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees Centigrade (36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit) for a maximum of 6 hours [11].
