Metastatic Testicular Tumors Usual dose in combination with other approved chemotherapeutic agents is 20 mg/m²/day IV for 5 days/cycle Pretreatment hydration: 1-2 L fluid infused for 8-12 hr before dose May use concomitant amifostine to decrease nephrotoxicity Do not repeat course until SCr 4000/mm³ AND platelets >100 k/mm³ Advanced Bladder Cancer 50-70 mg/m² IV cycle q3-4Weeks, depending on prior radiation therapy or chemotherapy; for heavily pretreated patients, give 50 mg/m²/cycle initially; repeat q4Weeks Pretreatment hydration: 1-2 L fluid infused for 8-12 hr before dose May use concomitant amifostine to decrease nephrotoxicity Do not repeat course until SCr 4000/mm³ AND platelets...

Renal Impairment
CrCl 10-50 mL/min: Decrease dose 50%
CrCl <10 mL/min: Contraindicated
Contraindication
Patients with severe renal or auditory disorder, known hypersensitivity, severe bone marrow suppression, peripheral neuropathy, pregnancy, lactation.
Mode of Action
Cisplatin modifies cell cycle by interfering with DNA structure and function. Effects are most prominent during the S phase but cells are killed at all stages. Cisplatin synergises with other anticancer drugs e.g. fluorouracil. It has a narrow therapeutic margin and is highly toxic.
Precaution
Patients with renal or hepatic disorder, myelosuppression. Monitor renal, neurological and auditory function. Perform blood counts regularly. Maintain adequate hydration before and 24 hr after admin to minimise nephrotoxicity.
Lactation: excreted in breast milk; do not nurse
Side Effect
>10%
Nausea (76-100%),Vomiting (76-100%),Nephrotoxicity (28-36%),Ototoxicity, especially in children (31%),Myelosuppression (25-30%),Anaphylaxis (1-20%),Alopecia
Frequency Not Defined
Cerebral herniation,Encephalopathy,Leukoencephalopathy and reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome,Seizure,Peripheral neuropathy (dose and duration dependent),Diarrhea,Electrolyte changes,Hyperuricemia,Hepatotoxicity,Local tissue irritation
Potentially Fatal: Rarely, renal damage due to inadequate hydration during therapy. Very rarely life-threatening myelosuppression. Anaphylactoid reactions (rare) and cardiac abnormalities.
Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy Based on human data from published literature, cisplatin can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women; data demonstrates transplacental transfer of cisplatin Exposure associated with oligohydramnios, intrauterine growth restriction, and preterm birth; cases of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome, cytopenias, and hearing loss reported Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential before initiating prior to initiation of cisplatin for injection Contraception Females: Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 14 months following the last dose Males: Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during...
... Show moreInteraction
Synergistic with 5-fluorouracil and etoposide. Efficacy increased and toxicity reduced when combined with radioprotecting agent WR 2721. At doses ?100 mg, cisplatin is an ideal drug to combine with other cytotoxic drugs; unlike other antineoplastic drugs, it causes little myelosuppression.
Potentially Fatal: Potentiates nephrotoxicity with aminoglycosides. Increased toxicity when combined with other cytotoxic drugs.
