Description

Uses of medication: Nelarabine injection is a purine nucleoside analog and antineoplastic agent used primarily for the treatment of adults and children aged 1 year and older with specific types of T-cell cancers, such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). Nelarabine 250 mg/50 mL (5 mg/mL) is prescribed for patients whose cancer has not improved with previous treatments or has recurred after at least two rounds of chemotherapy. It is part of a class of drugs called antimetabolites, which function by hindering the growth and reproduction of cancer cells.

Dosage & Side Effects of Nelarabine Injection:

The recommended dosage of Nelarabine injection varies based on the patient’s age and condition. For adults and adolescents aged 16 years and older, the typical dose is 1,500 mg/m² administered intravenously over two hours on days 1, 3, and 5 of a 21-day cycle. For children aged 1 to 21 years, the dose is 650 mg/m² administered intravenously over one hour daily for five consecutive days of a 21-day cycle. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.

The most commonly reported side effects of Nelarabine injection include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, low blood cell counts, fever, and peripheral neuropathy (numbness or tingling in the hands and feet).

Warning and Precautions

  • Patients taking nelarabine might have side effects that affect the nervous system, such as seizures, nerve pain or numbness in the hands and feet, and confusion. Keep a close watch on patients for these symptoms while they are on this medication. If any of these serious side effects happen, the doctor may need to change the dose or stop the treatment.
  • Avoid live vaccines while on Nelarabine, as they may not work well and could cause infections. Talk to your doctor about your vaccination schedule before starting Nelarabine to make sure you are safely immunized without any risks
  • Nelarabine injection may lead to serious blood-related side effects like low neutrophil counts (neutropenia), low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), and low red blood cell counts (anemia). It’s important to check blood counts often before and during treatment. Your doctor may adjust the dose or provide supportive care to help reduce these risks. Regular monitoring can help manage these potential complications and ensure safer treatment with Nelarabine.
  • Patients taking nelarabine are at risk of developing tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). TLS involves metabolic changes like high uric acid, potassium, and phosphate levels, along with low calcium levels. It’s crucial to monitor electrolyte levels closely and take preventive steps, such as ensuring good hydration and using medications like allopurinol if needed, to manage these risks effectively. Early detection and management can help prevent complications associated with TLS during treatment with nelarabine.
  • Nelarabine has been found to potentially harm unborn babies based on animal studies and how it works in the body. If you can have children, it’s important to use reliable birth control during treatment and for some time after. Before starting treatment, consider getting a pregnancy test and discuss any risks to a future baby with your doctor. This precaution helps ensure the safety of both you and your potential baby during and after treatment.
