Delayed methotrexate elimination can occur in patients undergoing high-dose methotrexate cancer treatment. Effectiveness of glucarpidase for rapidly reducing methotrexate concentrations was shown in compassionate-use trials in patients aged 0–84 years.
Methods
We performed post hoc analyses of infants (≥28 days to <2 years), children (≥2 to <12 years), adolescents (≥12 to <15 years), and young adults (≥15 to <25 years) from four multicenter, open-label, single-arm, glucarpidase compassionate-use trials. Patients had toxic methotrexate levels due to delayed methotrexate elimination and/or renal dysfunction, and received glucarpidase (50 U/kg). The primary endpoint was clinically important reduction (CIR) in plasma methotrexate (methotrexate ≤1 μmol/L at all post-glucarpidase measurements) based on high-performance liquid chromatography.
Results
Among 86 patients included in efficacy analyses, CIR was achieved by zero of one infant (0.0%), five of 16 children (31.3%), seven of 24 adolescents (29.2%), and 26/45 young adults (57.8%). Median methotrexate reduction was 98.7% or higher in each group 15 minutes post-glucarpidase. Patients with pre-glucarpidase methotrexate less than 50 ÎĽmol/L (35/42, 83.3%) were more likely to achieve CIR than those with methotrexate 50 ÎĽmol/L or higher (1/37, 2.7%). The most common treatment-related adverse event was paresthesia, occurring in three adolescents (4.5%) and six young adults (5.2%). No other treatment-related adverse event occurred in 5% or higher of any age group.
Conclusion
After accounting for pre-glucarpidase methotrexate levels, glucarpidase efficacy at inducing CIR in pediatric/young adult patients was consistent, with efficacy observed in the overall study population (i.e., patients aged 0–84), and no unexpected safety findings were observed. These findings demonstrate glucarpidase (50 U/kg) is an effective and well-tolerated dose for pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients

Guia de prĂ ctica clĂnica: tractament del dolor oncològic pediĂ tric
Dolor oncològic pediĂ tric; CĂ ncer; Tractament; RegistreDolor oncolĂłgico pediátrico; Cáncer; Tratamiento; RegistroPediatric oncological pain; Cancer; Treatment; RegistryEl dolor oncològic pediĂ tric Ă©s un problema clĂnic rellevant a l'Hospital Vall d'hebron i les dades de què es disposa sobre el seu tractament sĂłn escasses. Aquest document s'ha desenvolupat per millorar el registre i el tractament del dolor en nens amb cĂ ncer atesos a l’Hospital, sobre la base de l’evidència cientĂfica de què es disposa. Es pretĂ©n aconseguir que, d’una banda, la mesura del dolor es faci de forma regular, amb la metodologia adequada i es registri sistemĂ ticament a la història clĂnica. De l’altra, utilitzar les estratègies de tractament del dolor, tant farmacològiques com no farmacològiques; mĂ©s efectives i segures per a aquest tipus de poblaciĂł. La utilitzaciĂł prĂ ctica d’aquesta publicaciĂł s’ha de considerar com una guia; no es pretĂ©n anteposar-la al judici clĂnic
