Clinical Pharmacology

An antitumor drug (Vinca pink alkaloid, obtained by a semi-synthetic method) from the group of vincaalkaloids Violates the tubulin polymerization in the G2 and M phases of the cell cycle. Blocks mitosis, causes cell destruction in interphase (G2) or during subsequent mitosis.

Affects mainly mitotic microtubules; when used in high doses, has an effect on axonal microtubules. The effect of spiraling tubulin caused by vinorelbine is less pronounced than that of vincristine.

Indications

Navelbin is used in monotherapy as well as in combination with other anticancer drugs. When choosing a dose and mode of administration in each individual case, refer to the special literature.

Concentrate Navelbina entered strictly IV the form of 6-10-minute infusion.

Capsules are taken internally entirely, drinking water without chewing or dissolving them in the mouth.

In monotherapy mode, the usual dose for IV administration is 25-30 mg / m2 body surface once a week. Navelb is diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% dextrose solution to a concentration of 1.0-2.0 mg / ml (average 50 ml). After the introduction of the drug, the vein should be washed, adding an additional at least 250 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% dextrose solution.

For patients with a body surface area of ​​2 m2 and more than a single dose of navelbine for iv administration should not exceed 60 mg.

The recommended single initial dose of Navelbina for oral administration is 60 mg / m2 body surface once a week. After the third dose is recommended to increase to 80 mg / m2.

Increase dosage from 60 mg / m2 up to 80 mg / m2 It can be carried out if during three weeks of Navelbine administration no 4th degree neutropenia (less than 500 / mcl) was noted, or there was one episode of 3th degree neutropenia (less than 1000 / mcl, but more than 500 / mcl), and the number of neutrophils before the next administration did not below 1500 / mkl.

The use of Navelbina orally in doses of 60 mg / m2 and 80 mg / m2 corresponds to the / in the introduction of Navelbina in doses of 25 mg / m2 and 30 mg / m2.

With polychemotherapy The dose and frequency of administration of Navelbine (as with a / in the introduction, and with ingestion) depend on the specific program of antitumor therapy.

With a decrease in the number of neutrophils less than 1500 / μl or platelets less than 75 000 / μl (with a / in the introduction) or less than 100 000 / μl (with the ingestion), the next introduction or ingestion of Navelbine is set aside for 1 week. If, due to hematologic toxicity, it was necessary to refrain from 3 weekly injections or administration of the drug, it is recommended to stop using Navelbine.

Patients with severe hepatic impairment Navelbin should be prescribed with caution, at a dose reduced by 33%.

Safety and effectiveness of Navelbina in children not studied.

Special correction dosing regimen Navelbina in the elderly not required.

Adverse reactions

The following side effects were more common than in isolated cases.The following criteria were used to assess the frequency of occurrence of adverse events:

  • very often (> 1/10);
  • often (> 1 / 100.1 / 10);
  • sometimes (> 1/1000, 1/100);
  • rarely (> 1/10 000, 1/1000);
  • extremely rare (1/10 000).

From the hemopoietic system: very often - neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, the addition of secondary infections against the background of inhibition of bone marrow hematopoiesis; often - fever (38 ° C) on the background of neutropenia; sometimes - sepsis, septicemia; extremely rare - complicated septicemia, in some cases leading to death. The smallest number of neutrophils is observed on days 7-10 from the start of therapy, recovery occurs in the next 5-7 days. Cumulative hematotoxicity is not observed.

From the peripheral nervous system: very often - paresthesia, hyperesthesia, decrease or loss of deep tendon reflexes; often - weakness in the legs; sometimes severe paresthesias with sensory and motor symptoms are usually reversible.

Since the cardiovascular system: sometimes - increase or decrease in blood pressure, hot flashes and cold extremities; rarely - ischemic heart disease (angina, myocardial infarction), severe hypotension, collapse; extremely rarely - tachycardia, palpitations, heart rhythm disturbances.

On the part of the respiratory system: sometimes - shortness of breath, bronchospasm; rarely, interstitial pneumonia (with combination therapy with mitomycin), acute respiratory distress syndrome.

From the digestive system: very often - nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, constipation, diarrhea, transient increase in liver function tests (ALT, ACT); rarely - pancreatitis, increased bilirubin levels, intestinal paresis.

On the part of the immune system: rarely - anaphylactic shock, angioedema.

Dermatological reactions: often - alopecia; rarely - skin rashes.

Local reactions: often - pain / burning or redness at the injection site, discoloration of veins, phlebitis; with extravasation - cellulite; possibly necrosis of the surrounding tissues.

Other: often - increased fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, fever, pain of various localization, including chest pain, pain in the lower jaw and in the area of ​​tumor formations; rarely, hyponatremia; very rarely - hemorrhagic cystitis and inadequate secretion syndrome of ADH.

Carefully: prescribe the drug for respiratory failure, inhibition of bone marrow hematopoiesis (including after previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy), constipation or symptoms of intestinal obstruction in history, neuropathy in history.

Drug interactions

When combined with other cytostatics, mutual aggravation of side effects is possible, in the first place - myelosuppression.

When combined with mitomycin C, the development of acute respiratory failure is possible.

When used in conjunction with paclitaxel, the risk of neurotoxicity increases.

Application on the background of radiation therapy leads to radiosensitization. The use of Navelbine after radiation therapy can lead to the reappearance of radiation reactions.

The simultaneous use of the drug with inducers and inhibitors of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes can lead to changes in the pharmacokinetics of vinorelbine.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Navelbin is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).

Special instructions

Treatment with Navelbin should be carried out under the supervision of a physician with experience in working with anticancer drugs.

In case of severe liver dysfunction, the dose of Navelbine should be reduced by 33%.

In case of impaired renal function it is necessary to monitor the patient’s condition

If there are signs of neurotoxicity 2 or more, the use of Navelbine should be discontinued. If dyspnea, cough or hypoxia of unknown etiology occurs, the patient should be examined to exclude pulmonary toxicity.

With extravasation, the infusion of the drug should be immediately stopped, the remaining dose is injected into another vein.

If nausea or vomiting occurs after taking Navelbine capsules, the same dose should not be taken again.

During and for at least three months after cessation of therapy, it is necessary to use reliable methods of contraception.

If the active substance enters the oral cavity, it is recommended to rinse your mouth with water or any saline solution.

If Navelbina gets into the eyes, they should be washed with plenty of water and thoroughly.

Since The drug contains sorbitol, navelbin should not be used in patients with hereditary fructose intolerance.

Control of laboratory parameters

The drug treatment is carried out under strict hematological control, determining the number of leukocytes, neutrophils, platelets and hemoglobin level before each regular injection or ingestion. With a decrease in the number of neutrophils less than 1500 / μl and / or platelets less than 75,000 / μl (for intravenous administration) or less than 100,000 / μl (for ingestion), the application of the next dose of the drug is postponed until normalization of indicators, while monitoring the patient’s condition.

Overdosage

Symptoms: suppression of bone marrow function, neurotoxic reactions.

Treatment: in case of overdose, the patient should be hospitalized; conduct symptomatic therapy with careful monitoring of the functions of vital organs. The specific antidote is unknown.
