Oxaliplatin (Lyophilisate, Concentrate) Instructions for Use
ATC Code
L01XA03 (Oxaliplatin)
Active Substance
Oxaliplatin (Rec.INN registered by WHO)
Clinical-Pharmacological Group
Antineoplastic drug
Pharmacotherapeutic Group
Antineoplastic agents; other antineoplastic agents; platinum compounds
Pharmacological Action
Antineoplastic agent, platinum derivative. Oxaliplatin is a stereoisomer in which the central platinum atom is surrounded by oxalate and diaminocyclohexane in trans positions.
Like other platinum derivatives, Oxaliplatin interacts with DNA, forming intra- and interstrand cross-links, which blocks its synthesis and subsequent replication.
The formation of oxaliplatin bonds with DNA is rapid and reaches a maximum within 15 minutes (this process is biphasic for cisplatin with a slow 4-8 hour phase).
Disruption of DNA synthesis leads to inhibition of RNA and cellular protein synthesis.
Oxaliplatin is effective against some cisplatin-resistant cell lines.
Pharmacokinetics
Oxaliplatin is intensively metabolized and by the end of a 2-hour infusion at a dose of 130 mg/m2 is no longer detectable, with 15% of the administered dose remaining in the blood and the remaining 85% rapidly distributed in tissues (or excreted in urine).
Platinum binds to plasma albumin.
It is excreted in the urine within the first 48 hours.
By the fifth day, approximately 54% of the total dose is found in the urine and less than 3% in the feces.
In renal impairment, a significant decrease in clearance from 17.55±2.18 L/h to 9.95±1.91 L/h and Vd from 330±40.9 to 241±36.1 L was observed.
The effect of severe renal impairment on platinum clearance has not been studied.
Indications
Metastatic colorectal cancer as monotherapy or as part of combination therapy with fluoropyrimidines.
Ovarian cancer.

Dosage Regimen
| The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen. |
Determine the dosage individually based on the therapeutic regimen, disease stage, and patient’s hematological status.
Administer as an intravenous infusion over 2 to 6 hours. Do not administer as a bolus intravenous injection.
For metastatic colorectal cancer, the typical dose is 85 mg/m² every 2 weeks or 130 mg/m² every 3 weeks, in combination with fluoropyrimidines.
For ovarian cancer, use according to the specific protocol, often at a dose of 130 mg/m² every 3 weeks as monotherapy.
Pre-medicate with effective antiemetics to prevent nausea and vomiting.
Do not reconstitute or dilute with sodium chloride solutions or other chloride-containing solutions.
Use only 5% dextrose solution for dilution. The final concentration for infusion should be between 0.2 mg/mL and 0.7 mg/mL.
Monitor peripheral blood count before each cycle. Postpone administration if neutrophils are below 1.5 x 10⁹/L or platelets are below 100 x 10⁹/L.
Conduct regular neurological examinations before each cycle and upon patient report of symptoms.
Reduce the dose or discontinue therapy in case of severe persistent hematological toxicity or grade 3/4 peripheral sensory neuropathy.
For patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-59 mL/min), exercise caution; initial dose reduction may be required.
Adjust the dose for severe toxicities according to the specific protocol’s guidelines.
Adverse Reactions
From the hematopoietic system: anemia, leukopenia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia.
From the digestive system: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
From the CNS and peripheral nervous system: frequently – peripheral neuropathies characterized by paresthesia of the extremities; may be accompanied by cramps, dysesthesia of the perioral region or upper respiratory tract (which may mimic the clinical picture of reversible laryngospasm) and gastrointestinal tract.
The appearance of such symptoms is often caused by exposure to cold.
Paresthesia mainly regresses between treatment courses, but can become permanent and cause functional impairments usually after exceeding a total dose of 800 mg/m2 (6 courses).
Other: in some cases – fever, skin rash.
Contraindications
Myelosuppression before the start of the first course of therapy with neutrophil count less than 2×109/L and/or platelet count less than 100×109/L, peripheral sensory neuropathy before the start of the first course of therapy, severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min), pregnancy, lactation (breastfeeding), hypersensitivity to oxaliplatin.
Use in Pregnancy and Lactation
Oxaliplatin is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and lactation.
Use in Renal Impairment
Contraindicated in severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min).
Special Precautions
Oxaliplatin may only be used by a qualified physician experienced in anticancer chemotherapy.
Before starting treatment and before the next administration of oxaliplatin, a peripheral blood test must be performed; in addition, regular neurological examination should be performed, especially when used concomitantly with drugs that have potential neurotoxicity.
To prevent and treat nausea and vomiting, the use of antiemetics is recommended.
In cases of hematological disorders (leukopenia less than 2×109/L and/or thrombocytopenia less than 50×109/L), the next administration should be postponed until the blood count returns to normal.
Drug Interactions
When oxaliplatin is used in combination with 5-fluorouracil, a synergistic cytotoxic effect is observed in vitro and in vivo, and the severity of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia is increased.
Storage Conditions
