摘要: PURPOSEMethotrexate nephrotoxicity can lead to delayed methotrexate elimination and the development of life-threatening toxicity, which may not be preventable with standard rescue agent leucovorin. In preclinical studies, we previously demonstrated that carboxypetidase-G2 (CPDG2) rapidly hydrolyzes nontoxic metabolites. A protocol for compassionate use CPDG2 in patients who develop while receiving high-dose was therefore developed. The pharmacologic clinical outcome administered thymidine leucovorin 20 is presented here.METHODSPatients methotrexate-induced renal dysfunction received one three doses CPDG2, 50 U/kg body weight intravenously (i.v.), 8 g/m2/d by continuous i.v. infusion, pharmacokinetically guided rescue. Plasma concentrations its inactive metabolite 4-deoxy-4-amino-N10-methylpteroic acid (DAMPA) were measured before aft...
