Data on the safety of the use of the drug Mozobail in combination with G-CSF in cancer patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma were obtained in 2 placebo-controlled (phase III) and 10 uncontrolled studies (phase II) in 543 patients. Patients received treatment with plexixapore at a dose of 0.24 mg / kg / day subcutaneously. Duration of treatment in these studies was from 1 to 7 days continuously (median - 2 days).
In two studies (Phase III) involving patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma (AMD3100-3101 and AMD3100-3102, respectively), 301 patients treated with Mozobail and G-CSF were studied and 292 patients who received placebo and G- CSF.The daily dose of G-CSF was 10 μg / kg in the morning for 4 consecutive days before the first injection of plexixapore or placebo, and also every morning before the apheresis.
Below are the undesirable reactions that were more frequently observed in the group receiving the drug Mozobail and G-CSF than in the placebo group and G-CSF. The incidence of adverse drug reactions associated with treatment was> 1% among patients receiving Mozobail, with mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells and apheresis, and before chemotherapy / myeloablation therapy in preparation for transplantation. Undesirable reactions are indicated in accordance with the system-organ class and frequency of occurrence. The frequency was determined based on the following criteria: very often (≥ 1/10), often (≥ 1/100 to <1/10), infrequently (≥ 1/1000 to <1/100), rarely (≥ 1/10000 to < 1/1000), very rarely <1/10000), the frequency is unknown (can not be estimated from available data).
With the use of chemotherapy / ablation in preparation for transplantation, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between treatment groups at 12 months after transplantation.
Below are the undesirable reactions,observed in the group of the drug Mozobail more often than in the placebo group associated with the use of the drug Mozobail during mobilization and apheresis in the phase III studies.
Immune system disorders
Infrequent: allergic reactions, anaphylactic reactions, including anaphylactic shock (See subsection "Post-marketing observations" and section "Special instructions").
Disorders of the psyche
Often: insomnia.
Disturbances from the nervous system
Often: headache, dizziness.
Disorders from the gastrointestinal tract
Very often: diarrhea, nausea. Often: flatulence, abdominal pain, vomiting, bloating, dry mouth, discomfort in the epigastric region, constipation, dyspeptic phenomena, hypoesthesia of the oral mucosa.
Disturbances from the skin and subcutaneous tissues
Often: hyperhidrosis, erythema.
Disturbances from musculoskeletal and connective tissue
Often: arthralgia, skeletal-muscular pain.
General disorders and disorders at the site of administration
Very often: reactions at the injection site. Often: fatigue, malaise.
Undesirable reactions in patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma,who received Mozobail in controlled Phase III studies and uncontrolled studies, including a Phase II trial in which the Mozobail drug was used in monotherapy for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells, are similar. In patients with cancer, the frequency of adverse reactions did not differ depending on the disease, age or sex.
Allergic reactions
Allergic reactions included one or more of the following adverse reactions: urticaria (n= 2), periorbital edema (n= 2), shortness of breath (n= 1) or hypoxia (n= 1). These reactions were mild or moderate in severity and occurred within about 30 minutes after the administration of the Mozobail drug.
Myocardial infarction
According to clinical studies, 7 of the 679 cancer patients underwent myocardial infarction after stem cell mobilization with the help of plirixafor and G-CSF. All cases of myocardial infarction were observed at least 14 days after the last injection of the drug Mozobail. In addition, two patients participating in the program for the use of the study drug individually, underwent myocardial infarction after stem cell mobilization with the help of plirixafor and G-CSF.One of the cases of myocardial infarction occurred 4 days after the last injection of the drug Mozobail. The absence of a temporary connection in 8 out of 9 patients and the risk profile of participants who underwent myocardial infarction do not allow considering the drug Mozobail to be an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction in patients receiving G-CSF.
Vasovagal reactions
Vasovagal reactions (orthostatic hypotension and / or syncope) have been reported in less than 1% of participants in clinical trials using Mozobail (cancer patients and healthy volunteers) who received pleriksafor in a dose ≤ 0.24 mg / kg. In most cases, these reactions were observed within 1 hour after the administration of the drug Mozobail.
Disorders from the gastrointestinal tract
In clinical studies on the use of the drug Mozobail in oncological patients reports of severe violations from the gastrointestinal tract (including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain) were rarely recorded.
Paresthesia
Paresthesias are often observed in cancer patients after autotransplantation due to numerous medical procedures.In placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trials, paresthesia rates were 20.6% and 21.2% in the plirixafore and placebo groups, respectively.
Hyperleukocytosis
In Phase III studies, an increase in the number of white blood cells a day before apheresis or on any day of apheresis to 100 x 109/ l and higher was observed in 7% of patients who received the drug Mozobail, and in 1% of patients who received placebo. There were no complications or clinical manifestations of leukocytosis.
Elderly patients
24% of participants in two placebo-controlled clinical trials for the use of plerixafor were older than 65 years. Significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions in the subgroup of elderly patients (compared with younger patients) were not observed.
Postmarketing observations
Below are the undesirable reactions reported in the post-marketing period of Mozobail supplementation in addition to those that were recorded during clinical trials. It was not possible to determine the frequency of undesired reactions, since reports about them were obtained from a population with an undetermined number of patients, as well as the possible relationship with the use of the drug.
Immune system disorders
Anaphylactic reactions, including anaphylactic shock.
Disorders of the psyche: unusual dreaming, nightmares.
