Brief Description
Indication
Colorectal cancer, Colon cancer
Administration
IV Preparation
Reconstitute by adding 10 mL (for 50 mg vial) or 20 mL (for 100 mg vial) of SWI or D5W. Dilute required amount of reconstituted solution in an infusion solution of 250-500 mL of D5W. Do NOT use NS or chloride-containing solutions
Do not use aluminum-containing needles or IV administration sets that may come in contact with carboplatin (aluminum can react causing precipitate formation and loss of potency)
IV Administration
Flush infusion line with D5W prior to administration of oxaliplatin or any concomitant drug
Use separate bags for oxaliplatin and leucovorin (administered through Y-site)
Adult Dose
Intravenous Advanced colorectal cancer Adult: Day 1: Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² IV + leucovorin 200 mg/m² IV infused over 2 hr, THEN 5-FU 400 mg/m² IV bolus over 2-4 minutes, THEN 5-FU 600 mg/m² IV infusion in D5W (500 mL) over 22 hr Day 2: Same regimen WITHOUT oxaliplatin Repeat every 2 weeks Adjuvant therapy in stage III colon cancer Adult: Day 1: Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² IV + leucovorin 200 mg/m² IV infused over 2 hr, THEN 5-FU 400 mg/m² IV bolus over 2-4 minutes, THEN 5-FU 600 mg/m² IV infusion in D5W (500 mL) over 22 hr Day 2: Same...

Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal Impairment
Exposure of unbound platinum tends to increase in renally impaired patients
Mild (CrCl 50-80 mL/min): No dosage adjustment required
Moderate (CrCl 30-49 mL/min): No dosage adjustment required
Severe (CrCl <30 mL/min): Reduce starting dose
Contraindication
Pregnancy. Peripheral neuropathy with functional impairment. Severe renal impairment.
Mode of Action
Oxaliplatin, a platinum-containing complex similar to cisplatin, is an alkylating agent. After intracellular hydrolysis, the platinum compound binds to DNA forming cross-links which inhibit DNA replication and transcription, resulting in cell death.
Precaution
Should be administered under the supervision of an experienced cancer chemotherapy physician. Use appropriate precautions for handling and disposal. Monitor neurological status and dose should be reduced if symptoms are prolonged or severe. Monitor blood counts during treatment and courses should not be repeated until blood counts have recovered. Caution in elderly, moderate degrees of renal impairment. Avoid using aluminum-containing needles or IV admin sets that may come into contact with oxaliplatin as aluminum has been reported to cause degradation of platinum compounds. Lactation.
Lactation: not known if excreted in milk
