Bleomycin: Pediatric drug information

Bleomycin: Pediatric drug information
(For additional information see "Bleomycin: Drug information" and see "Bleomycin: Patient drug information")

For abbreviations, symbols, and age group definitions used in Lexicomp (show table)
ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Experienced physician:

It is recommended that bleomycin be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Appropriate management of therapy and complications is possible only when adequate diagnostic and treatment facilities are readily available.

Pulmonary toxicity:

Pulmonary fibrosis is the most severe toxicity associated with bleomycin. The most frequent presentation is pneumonitis occasionally progressing to pulmonary fibrosis. Its occurrence is higher in elderly patients and in those receiving more than 400 units total dose, but pulmonary toxicity has been observed in young patients and those treated with low doses.

Idiosyncratic reaction:

A severe idiosyncratic reaction consisting of hypotension, mental confusion, fever, chills, and wheezing has been reported in approximately 1% of lymphoma patients treated with bleomycin.

Therapeutic Category
  • Antineoplastic Agent, Antibiotic
Dosing: Pediatric

Dosage guidance:

Safety: In adults, the risk for pulmonary toxicity increases with cumulative lifetime dose >400 USP units; in pediatric patients, pulmonary function deficits have been seen at cumulative doses ≥60 units/m2 (Ref).

Dosage form information: International considerations: Dosages below are expressed as USP units; 1 USP unit = 1 mg (by potency) = 1,000 international units (Ref). During shortages within the United States, temporary importation of international products may be allowed by the FDA. The imported bleomycin vial and product labeling may express strength and dosing as international units instead of USP units. Refer to individual protocols for specific dosage and interval information.

Clinical considerations: All doses of bleomycin are associated with a minimal emetic potential (Ref); no routine prophylaxis is recommended (Ref).

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Hepatotoxicity: May cause hepatic toxicity.

• Idiosyncratic reaction: A severe idiosyncratic reaction consisting of hypotension, mental confusion, fever, chills, and wheezing (similar to anaphylaxis) has been reported in 1% of lymphoma patients treated with bleomycin. Since these reactions usually occur after the first or second dose, careful monitoring is essential after these doses.

• Pulmonary toxicity: Occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis (commonly presenting as pneumonitis; occasionally progressing to pulmonary fibrosis) is the most severe toxicity. Risk is higher in elderly patients or patients receiving >400 units total lifetime dose; other possible risk factors include smoking and patients with prior radiation therapy or receiving concurrent oxygen (especially high inspired oxygen doses). A review of patients receiving bleomycin for the treatment of germ cell tumors suggests risk for pulmonary toxicity is increased in patients >40 years of age, with glomerular filtration rate <80 mL/minute, advanced disease, and cumulative bleomycin doses >300 units (O’Sullivan 2003). Pulmonary toxicity may include bronchiolitis obliterans and organizing pneumonia (BOOP), eosinophilic hypersensitivity, and interstitial pneumonitis, progressing to pulmonary fibrosis (Sleijfer 2001); pulmonary toxicity may be due to a lack of the enzyme which inactivates bleomycin (bleomycin hydrolase) in the lungs (Morgan 2011; Sleijfer 2001), If pulmonary changes occur, withhold treatment and investigate if drug-related. In a study of patients with testicular cancer receiving bleomycin as part of the BEP regimen, pulmonary function testing (including forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1], and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide [DLCO]) was performed prior to treatment, before each chemotherapy cycle, and then repeated at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years during follow up; if the carbon monoxide diffusing capacity corrected for hemoglobin content [DLCOc] decreased more than 25% during therapy (compared with baseline), bleomycin was discontinued to avoid further pulmonary toxicity (Lauritsen 2016).

• Renal toxicity: May cause renal toxicity.

Disease-related concerns:

• Hodgkin lymphoma: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) may have a role in determining early response to therapy in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma; a negative interim PET/CT result after 2 cycles may indicate that bleomycin can be safely omitted from the ABVD treatment regimen (Johnson 2016). Longer follow-up is necessary to determine the effect of bleomycin omission on long-term morbidity and mortality in these patients.

Special populations:

• Pediatric: In children, a younger age at treatment, cumulative dose ≥400 units/m2 (combined with chest irradiation), and renal impairment are associated with a higher incidence of pulmonary toxicity (Huang 2011). Pulmonary function deficits at doses as low as 60 to 120 units/m2 in children on formal pulmonary function testing have been reported (COG 2018; Huang 2011).

Other warnings/precautions:

• International issues: Some products available internationally may have vial strength and dosing expressed as international units or milligrams (instead of units or USP units). During shortages within the US, temporary importation of international products may be allowed by the FDA. The imported bleomycin vial and product labeling may express strength and dosing as international units instead of USP units. One USP unit of bleomycin = 1 mg (by potency) = 1,000 international units (Stefanou 2001). Refer to prescribing information for specific dosing information.

• O2 during surgery: Use caution when administering O2 during surgery to patients who have received bleomycin; the risk of bleomycin-related pulmonary toxicity is increased.

Dosage Forms Considerations

During shortages within the US, temporary importation of international products may be allowed by the FDA. The imported bleomycin vial and product labeling may express strength and dosing as international units instead of USP units (1,000 international units = 1 USP unit).

This medication is in a class the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) includes among its list of drug classes which have a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm when used in error.

International issues:

Some products available internationally may have vial strength and dosing expressed as international units or milligrams (instead of units or USP units). Refer to prescribing information for specific strength and dosing information.

Other safety concerns:

During shortages within the US, temporary importation of international products may be allowed by the FDA. The imported bleomycin vial and product labeling may express strength and dosing as international units instead of USP units (1,000 international units = 1 USP unit).

Metabolism/Transport Effects

None known.

Drug Interactions

Note: Interacting drugs may not be individually listed below if they are part of a group interaction (eg, individual drugs within “CYP3A4 Inducers [Strong]” are NOT listed). For a complete list of drug interactions by individual drug name and detailed management recommendations, use the Lexicomp drug interactions program by clicking on the “Launch drug interactions program” link above.

Brentuximab Vedotin: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Bleomycin. Specifically, the risk for pulmonary toxicity may be increased. Risk X: Avoid combination

Gemcitabine: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Bleomycin. The risk of pulmonary toxicity may be increased. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factors: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Bleomycin. Specifically, the risk for pulmonary toxicity may be increased. Management: Avoid use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors 24 hours before (14 days for pegfilgrastim) and 24 hours after the last dose of bleomycin. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Lenograstim: Antineoplastic Agents may diminish the therapeutic effect of Lenograstim. Management: Avoid the use of lenograstim 24 hours before until 24 hours after the completion of myelosuppressive cytotoxic chemotherapy. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Lipegfilgrastim: Antineoplastic Agents may diminish the therapeutic effect of Lipegfilgrastim. Management: Avoid concomitant use of lipegfilgrastim and myelosuppressive cytotoxic chemotherapy. Lipegfilgrastim should be administered at least 24 hours after the completion of myelosuppressive cytotoxic chemotherapy. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Oxygen: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Bleomycin. Specifically, bleomycin pulmonary toxicity may be enhanced. Management: Attempt to keep oxygen at a concentration equal to that of room air (eg, 25%), during surgery and the post-operative period for patients receiving bleomycin. Monitor patients carefully for pulmonary toxicity, especially those receiving fluid replacement. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Palifermin: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Antineoplastic Agents. Specifically, the duration and severity of oral mucositis may be increased. Management: Do not administer palifermin within 24 hours before, during infusion of, or within 24 hours after administration of myelotoxic chemotherapy. Risk D: Consider therapy modification

Phenytoin: Bleomycin may decrease the serum concentration of Phenytoin. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Reproductive Considerations

According to the manufacturer, patients who could become pregnant should avoid becoming pregnant during bleomycin treatment.

Pregnancy Considerations

Adverse effects were observed in animal reproduction studies. The European Society for Medical Oncology has published guidelines for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cancer during pregnancy; the guidelines recommend referral to a facility with expertise in cancer during pregnancy and encourage a multidisciplinary team (obstetrician, neonatologist, oncology team). In general, if chemotherapy is indicated, it should be avoided in the first trimester and there should be a 3-week time period between the last chemotherapy dose and anticipated delivery, and chemotherapy should not be administered beyond week 33 of gestation (ESMO [Peccatori 2013]). When multiagent therapy is needed to treat Hodgkin lymphoma during pregnancy, bleomycin (as a component of the ABVD [doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine] regimen) may be used, starting with the second trimester (ESMO [Peccatori 2013]; Follows 2014).

Monitoring Parameters

Pulmonary function tests, including total lung volume, forced vital capacity, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide; vital capacity, total lung capacity, and pulmonary capillary blood volume may be better indicators of changes induced by bleomycin (Sleifjer 2001), chest x-ray; renal function, hepatic function, vital signs, and temperature initially; CBC with differential and platelet count; check body weight at regular intervals

Mechanism of Action

Bleomycin inhibits synthesis of DNA; binds to DNA leading to single- and double-strand breaks; also inhibits (to a lesser degree) RNA and protein synthesis.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Absorption: IM, SubQ, and intrapleural administration: 100%, 70%, and 45%, respectively, of IV serum concentrations

Distribution: Vd: IV: 17.5 L/m2

Protein binding: 1%

Metabolism: Enzymatic inactivation by bleomycin hydrolase, a cytosolic cysteine proteinase enzyme; bleomycin hydrolase is widely distributed in normal tissues (except for the skin and lungs)

Half-life elimination: Terminal: IV: 2 hours

Time to peak, serum: IM, SubQ, Intrapleural: 30 to 60 minutes

Excretion: Urine (~65% [IV], 40% [Intrapleural])

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Altered kidney function: The half-life increases exponentially as CrCl decreases.

Pediatric: Children <3 years of age have a higher total body clearance than adults, 71 mL/minute/m2 vs 51 mL/minute/m2, respectively, following IV bolus administration. Children ≥8 years of age have comparable clearance to adults. In children with normal renal function, plasma concentrations of bleomycin decline biexponentially as in adults. The volume of distribution and terminal half-life of bleomycin in children appear comparable to those in adults (Yee 1983; manufacturer's labeling).
