Renal impairment is the major toxicity of cidofovir. Cases of acute renal failure resulting in dialysis and/or contributing to death have occurred with as few as 1 or 2 doses of cidofovir. To reduce possible nephrotoxicity, IV prehydration with normal saline and administration of probenecid must be used with each cidofovir infusion. Renal function (serum creatinine and urine protein) must be monitored within 48 hours prior to each dose of cidofovir and the dose of cidofovir modified for changes in renal function as appropriate. Cidofovir is contraindicated in patients who are receiving other nephrotoxic agents.
Neutropenia has been observed in association with cidofovir treatment. Therefore, neutrophil counts should be monitored during cidofovir therapy.
Cidofovir is indicated only for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
In animal studies, cidofovir was carcinogenic, teratogenic and caused hypospermia.
Note: To minimize the likelihood of nephrotoxicity, unless otherwise indicated, premedicate with probenecid 2 g 3 hours prior to the cidofovir dose, then 1 g 2 hours and 8 hours after completion of the infusion. Patients should also receive 1 L of NS IV infused over 1 to 2 hours immediately prior to each cidofovir infusion. If tolerated, a second liter may be administered over 1 to 3 hours at the start of cidofovir infusion or immediately following infusion.

Other uses: There are no pediatric-specific recommendations for other uses; based on experience with other indications and in adult patients, dosing adjustment suggested.
Hemodialysis: High flux hemodialysis removes ~50% to 75% based on adult data (Ref). In pediatric solid organ transplant recipients with adenovirus, it has been recommended to administer dose ≥1 hour after and/or ≥4 hours before hemodialysis to allow for intracellular cidofovir distribution (Ref).

Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Carcinogenic/teratogenic: [US Boxed Warning]: Possibly carcinogenic and teratogenic based on animal data. May cause hypospermia.
• Metabolic acidosis: Monitor for signs of metabolic acidosis; decreased sodium bicarbonate with proximal tubule injury and renal wasting syndrome (including Fanconi syndrome), as well as metabolic acidosis with hepatic impairment and pancreatitis (including some fatal cases) have been reported.
• Nephrotoxicity: [US Boxed Warning]: Acute renal failure resulting in dialysis and/or contributing to death has occurred with as few as 1 or 2 doses of cidofovir. Renal function (serum creatinine and urine protein) must be monitored within 48 hours prior to each dose of cidofovir and the dose of cidofovir modified as appropriate. Administration must be accompanied by oral probenecid and intravenous saline prehydration.
• Neutropenia: [US Boxed Warning]: Neutropenia has been reported; monitor neutrophil counts during therapy.
• Ocular complications: Decreased intraocular pressure, sometimes associated with decreased visual acuity, uveitis, or iritis may occur; monitor intraocular pressure for and signs of iritis/uveitis during therapy. If uveitis or iritis occurs, consider treatment with topical corticosteroids with or without topical cycloplegic agents.
Disease-related concerns:
• Renal impairment: Contraindicated in patients with a baseline serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL, CrCl ≤55 mL/minute, or urine protein ≥100 mg/dL (≥2+ proteinuria); dosage adjustment or discontinuation of therapy may be required for changes in renal function during treatment.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Administration: For intravenous use only, not for direct intraocular injection; iritis, ocular hypotony, and permanent impairment of vision may occur.
• Appropriate use: [US Boxed Warning]: Indicated only for CMV retinitis treatment in patients with AIDS.

Hazardous agent (NIOSH 2016 [group 2]).
Use appropriate precautions for receiving, handling, administration, and disposal. Gloves (single) should be worn during receiving, unpacking, and placing in storage.
NIOSH recommends double gloving, a protective gown, ventilated engineering controls (a class II biological safety cabinet or a compounding aseptic containment isolator), and closed system transfer devices (CSTDs) for preparation. Double gloving, a gown, and (if dosage form allows) CSTDs are required during administration (NIOSH 2016). Assess risk to determine appropriate containment strategy (USP-NF 2017).

In animal studies, cidofovir caused hypospermia.
Patients who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 1 month after the last cidofovir dose. Males should use a barrier contraceptive during therapy and for 3 months following the last dose of cidofovir.
Cidofovir was teratogenic in animal reproduction studies.
The indications for treating CMV retinitis during pregnancy are the same as in nonpregnant HIV infected woman; however, systemic therapy should be avoided during the first trimester when possible. When therapy is needed to treat maternal infection, use of cidofovir is not recommended (HHS [Adult OI 2021]). Cidofovir is not recommended as an alternative therapy to treat patients with mpox (monkeypox) during the first trimester (CDC 2022).
It is not known if cidofovir is present in breast milk.
Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfeeding infant, breastfeeding is not recommended. In addition, HIV-infected mothers are discouraged from breastfeeding to decrease the potential transmission of HIV. Cidofovir is not recommended as an alternative therapy to treat lactating patients with mpox (monkeypox) (CDC 2022).
Serum creatinine and urine protein (at baseline and within 48 hours of each dose), WBC with differential (prior to each dose); intraocular pressure and visual acuity, signs and symptoms of uveitis/iritis; metabolic acidosis.
Cidofovir is converted to cidofovir diphosphate (the active intracellular metabolite); cidofovir diphosphate suppresses CMV replication by selective inhibition of viral DNA synthesis. Incorporation of cidofovir diphosphate into growing viral DNA chain results in viral DNA synthesis rate reduction.
The following pharmacokinetic data are based on a combination of cidofovir administered with probenecid unless otherwise specified:
Distribution: Does not cross significantly into cerebrospinal fluid.
Vd:
Children ≥2 years and Adolescents ≤14 years: 0.591 L/kg (with probenecid) (Caruso Brown 2015).
Adults: 0.41 L/kg (with probenecid); 0.537 L/kg (without probenecid).
Protein binding: <6%.
Metabolism: Minimal; phosphorylation occurs intracellularly to the active metabolite cidofovir diphosphate.
Half-life elimination, plasma: Mean range: 2.4 to 3.2 hours (Cundy 1995; Lalezari 1995); intracellular elimination half-lives of metabolites are longer (range: 24 to 87 hours) (Lea 1996).
Excretion: Urine (70% to 85% as unchanged drug).
Clearance:
Renal clearance without probenecid: 150±26.9 mL/minute/1.73 m2.
Renal clearance with probenecid: 98.6±27.9 mL/minute/1.73 m2.
Altered kidney function: Clearance decreases proportionally with CrCl.
