Contraindications

Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in the US labeling): Pregnant or lactating patients.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions, including urticaria and angioedema, have been reported.

• Injection-site reactions: Events related to injection site, including sciatica, neuralgia, neuropathic pain, and peripheral neuropathy, have been reported with fulvestrant administration. Due to the proximity of underlying sciatic nerve, use caution if administering at the dorsogluteal site.

Disease-related concerns:

• Bleeding disorders: Use with caution in patients with a history of bleeding disorders (including thrombocytopenia) and/or patients on anticoagulant therapy; bleeding/hematoma may occur from IM administration.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Benzyl alcohol and derivatives: Some dosage forms may contain benzyl alcohol; large amounts of benzyl alcohol (≥99 mg/kg/day) have been associated with a potentially fatal toxicity ("gasping syndrome") in neonates; the "gasping syndrome" consists of metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, gasping respirations, CNS dysfunction (including convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage), hypotension and cardiovascular collapse (AAP ["Inactive" 1997]; CDC 1982); some data suggest that benzoate displaces bilirubin from protein binding sites (Ahlfors 2001); avoid or use dosage forms containing benzyl alcohol with caution in neonates. See manufacturer's labeling.

Solution Prefilled Syringe, Intramuscular:

Faslodex: 250 mg/5 mL (5 mL) [contains alcohol, usp, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, castor oil (ricine oil)]

Generic: 250 mg/5 mL (5 mL)

Administration: Pediatric

For IM administration only; inject slowly over 1 to 2 minutes per injection; do not administer IV, SubQ, or intra-arterially. Pediatric patients may be able to receive entire dose as one injection; maximum dose volume in adults: 5 mL per injection per buttock.

Administration: Adult

IM: For IM administration only. Administer 500 mg dose as two 5 mL IM injections (one in each buttocks [gluteal area]) slowly over 1 to 2 minutes per injection. If administering at the dorsogluteal site, use caution during injection due to the proximity of underlying sciatic nerve. Refer to facility policy for IM administration of large volumes.

To prepare each syringe for administration, hold syringe upright; carefully tilt syringe cap back and forth (without twisting) until the cap disconnects for removal; pull cap off by pulling up without touching the syringe tip (to maintain sterility); attach safety needle to syringe tip and twist firmly to lock. Remove needle cap by pulling straight off to avoid damaging needle point, remove needle sheath and expel excess air from syringe prior to administration. Refer to product labeling for detailed instructions.

Hazardous Drugs Handling Considerations

Hazardous agent (NIOSH 2024 [table 2]).

Use appropriate precautions for receiving, handling, storage, preparation, dispensing, transporting, administration, and disposal. Follow NIOSH and USP 800 recommendations and institution-specific policies/procedures for appropriate containment strategy (NIOSH 2023; NIOSH 2024; USP-NF 2020).

Note: Facilities may perform risk assessment of some hazardous drugs to determine if appropriate for alternative handling and containment strategies (USP-NF 2020). Refer to institution-specific handling policies/procedures.

Storage/Stability

Storage requirements may vary by product; also refer to manufacturer's labeling.

Refrigerated storage only formulations: Store in original carton at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Protect from light.

Variable temperature storage formulations: May store refrigerated between 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) or at room temperature between 20°C to 25°C (68°C to 77°F); excursions permitted to 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Do not freeze; store in original carton to protect from light.

Use

Treatment of hormone-receptor (HR)-positive advanced breast cancer (as monotherapy) in postmenopausal women with disease progression following endocrine therapy; treatment of HR-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer (as monotherapy) in postmenopausal women not previously treated with endocrine therapy; treatment of HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer (in combination with palbociclib or abemaciclib) in women with disease progression following endocrine therapy (All indications: FDA approved in adults); has also been used in treatment of McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) in girls associated with progressive precocious puberty

Fluoroestradiol F18: Coadministration of Estrogen Receptor Antagonists and Fluoroestradiol F18 may alter diagnostic results. Risk X: Avoid

Reproductive Considerations

For patients who could become pregnant, pregnancy testing is recommended within 7 days prior to initiation of fulvestrant and effective contraception should be used during treatment and for 1 year after the last fulvestrant dose.

Pregnancy Considerations

Based on findings from animal reproduction studies and the mechanism of action, in utero exposure to fulvestrant may cause fetal harm.

Monitoring Parameters

McCune-Albright syndrome: In the pediatric clinical trial (study duration: 12 months), the following were monitored: Serum estradiol, testosterone, LH, and FSH (baseline, and at 3, 6, 12 months of therapy); liver function test (baseline and at 12 months of therapy); CBC and INR at baseline; assessments of puberty status and growth at baseline and periodically during therapy (6 and 12 months: height, weight, Tanner stage, bone age [radiographs], vaginal bleeding data, and pelvic ultrasounds) (Sims 2012)

Mechanism of Action

Fulvestrant is an estrogen receptor antagonist; competitively binds to estrogen receptors on tumors and other tissue targets, producing a nuclear complex that causes a dose-related down-regulation of estrogen receptors and inhibits tumor growth.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Duration: IM: Steady state concentrations reached within first month, when administered with additional dose given 2 weeks following the initial dose; plasma levels maintained for at least 1 month

Distribution: Vd: ~3 to 5 L/kg

Protein binding: 99%; to plasma proteins (VLDL, LDL and HDL lipoprotein fractions)

Metabolism: Hepatic via multiple biotransformation pathways (CYP3A4 substrate involved in oxidation pathway, although relative contribution to metabolism unknown); metabolites formed are either less active or have similar activity to parent compound

Half-life elimination:

Children 1.7 to 8.5 years: 70.4 ± 8.1 days (Sims 2012)

Adults: 250 mg: ~40 days

Excretion: Feces (~90%); urine (<1%)

Clearance: Children 1 to 8 years (based on a 4 mg/kg dose): Decreased by 32% compared to adults

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Hepatic function impairment: In moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B), the average AUC of fulvestrant increased by 70% compared with patients with normal hepatic function.
