    L.01.X.X.24   Pegasaspragase

    Pharmacodynamics:Antineoplastice means. Pegasaspraga is the result of covalent binding of native L-asparaginase, synthesized by E. coli, with monomethoxypolyteTyleneglycol (PEG). L-asparaginase catalyzes the cleavage of asparagine. It is believed that for tumor lymphoblasts, unlike healthy cells, this amino acid is irreplaceable, since they are not able to synthesize L-asparagine, necessary for their normal vital activityand. Destruction of the amino acid L-asparagine in the blood plasma by L-asparagine in the blood plasma leads to a deficiency of L-asparagine in tumor lymphoblasts, causes a violation of protein synthesis, as well as DNA and RNA synthesis and death of tumor cells.
    Pharmacokinetics:

    Peak concentration PEG in the blood plasma after intravenous administration correlates with the administered dose.

    The true volume of distribution is equivalent to the established volume of plasma. The half-life is 315-588 h (an average of 10.5 days). It is determined in the plasma for 15 days after the first administration.

    Indications:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (re-induction therapy) with development of hypersensitivityto native forms of asparaginase.

    II.C81-C96.C91.0   Acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    Contraindications:
    • Hypersensitivitytion.
    • Pancreatitis.
    • Hemorrhagic complications (against asparaginase therapy).
    • Pregnancy, lactation.
    Carefully:Inhibition of hematopoiesis in the background of previous cytotoxic or radiotherapy, chicken pox or herpes zoster, diabetes mellitus, anticoagulant therapy or history of hemostasis disorder, impaired liver function, bone marrow tumor infiltration.
    Pregnancy and lactation:

    Recommendations FDA category C. Studies in humans and animals have not been conducted. It is recommended to avoid the use of antitumor, especially combined chemotherapy in pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. With the indications, it is necessary to relate the risk and benefit and take into account the mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic potentials of these agents. In view of the potential threat to the fetus, women of childbearing age are recommended to use contraceptives during asparaginase treatment.

    There is no information on the penetration into breast milk.Due to the excretion of other antitumor drugs with milk and the potential risk of adverse effects on the child during treatment with pegasus, breastfeeding should be discontinued.

    Dosing and Administration:

    Intramuscularly and intravenously. For intramuscular administration, the volume of the drug administered simultaneously should not exceed 2 ml for children and 3 ml for adults; If more is needed, several injections should be made at different locations. For intravenous administration, drip for 1 to 2 hours in 100 ml of a 0.9% solution of NaCl or a 5% solution of dextrose.

    Adults and children with a body surface area of ​​more than 0.6 square meters are assigned 2.5 thousand IU / m 2 once in 14 days; 82.5 IU / kg body weight is administered to children with a body surface area of ​​less than 0.6 square meters.

    Intramuscular administration is preferred because of the reduced risk of hepatotoxicity, coagulopathy, gastrointestinal and renal disorders compared with intravenous administration.

    Special instructions:

    In the monotherapy regimen the drug is used only if it is impossible to use other drugs for some reason, included in the scheme of combined treatment.

    During the treatment it is necessary to monitor the concentration of uric acid, amylase, peripheral blood picture, glycemia, fibrinogen, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, activity of "hepatic" transaminases.

    The introduction of pehaspargasis should be carried out under the supervision of a specialist who has experience in the use of antitumor drugs.

    It is necessary to monitor the patient for 1 hour after the injection and the availability of affordable resuscitation equipment and drugs for the treatment of anaphylaxis.

    Women and men during treatment should use reliable methods of contraception.

    When preparing the solution for injection, it is recommended to use gloves (it has irritating effect on contact). Avoid breathing vapor or contact with the skin and mucous membranes, especially the eyes. On contact, rinse immediately with water for 15 minutes.

    During the treatment with the drug should avoid drinking alcohol.

    Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

    During the treatment period, be careful when driving vehicles and occupying other potentially dangerous activities that require an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
