October 23, 2007
When Chanda Givens began feeling sick and throwing up about a
month into her pregnancy, she wrote it off as morning sickness.
It was only after the suburban St. Louis woman miscarried a month
later that she learned the pills that she thought were prenatal
vitamins were actually a potent chemotherapy drug that killed her
unborn child, according to a lawsuit against [PHARMACY]., whose
pharmacy allegedly dispensed the wrong medicine.
Mefford said Givens became pregnant in February. On March 6, she
went to an O'Fallon, Mo., [PHARMACY] to fill a prescription for
Materna, a prenatal vitamin.
Instead, Mefford said, Givens was given Matulane, a chemotherapy
drug for treatment of Hodgkin's disease. The lawsuit states that drug
is designed to interfere with cell growth and DNA development.
Givens began feeling nauseous and vomiting soon after taking the
drug. Later in March, her doctor warned the baby was not developing
properly.
Four clinics retrospectively reviewed medication
errors in children and adult oncology patients
 Occurred in 7.1% of adult clinic visits and 18.8%
of pediatric clinic visits were associated with a
medication error
 Good news, study included all errors, of all the
chemotherapy medications reviewed, 1.4% of
chemotherapy prescriptions resulted in an error
 7% of errors occurring in adults were during
home administration; while 27% of pediatric
errors were during home administration

J Clin Oncol 2009. 27: 891-96.


Dose adjustments not made based on clinical
status changes (drop in neutrophil count,
change in organ function)
Orders written for several months
In children, parents made errors in
measurement, and administration


Few studies have evaluated the problem
Area of concern while more
chemotherapy is being used at home
Highlights importance of education for
patients, families, pharmacists, and
oncology team
Literature generally indicates an error rate
of 3-10% for chemotherapy related errors

Pharm 1996;53:737-46

Proficient pharmacists should
 Have appropriate knowledge of indications
 Understand dosing and administration of oral
chemotherapy
 Aware of drug-drug interactions
 Counsel patients on potential adverse events
 Aware of special handling precautions
28 question survey to assess pharmacists knowledge
of and attitudes toward OC
 Survey population Colorado, Kansas, and
Southeastern United States
 243 surveys returned (response rate 22.5%)
 Knowledge of OC: 49.7% correct

 General dosing principles:
 Special handling:

Attitudes toward OC
69% correct
25% correct
 Few indicated comfortable dispensing these agents
 Most felt knowledge of OC is very important
 Majority were “very interested” in attending a program
about OC
J Am Pharm Assoc 2008:48; 632-9



Most pharmacists did not dispense more than
5 prescriptions for oral chemotherapy weekly
Pharmacy average volume was determined
to be between 350 – 1750 prescriptions per
week
< 1% of all prescriptions for OC
5.3% of respondents did have a counting tray
dedicated to Oral chemotherapy

No specific guidelines for community pharmacy
Extrapolating their guidelines toward
community practice would include:
 DOES recommend counting of cytotoxic drugs on a


tray dedicated that class of drugs
Recommends not putting cytotoxic drugs in
automated dispensing devices
Use of personal protective equipment
Prepare agents in a designated area-do not crush, or
split tablets
States “special handling procedures policies for
hazardous drugs should be established in any
pharmacy setting that dispenses hazardous drugs,
and all employees of the pharmacy should be
educated on the policies”

Developed Standards of Practice for the
provision of oral chemotherapy for the
treatment of cancer
They are not legally binding – noted in
introduction to the guide
Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia
(SHPA) developed these
“Oral chemotherapy must be subject to the
same stringent prescribing and checking
procedures as chemotherapy administered by
other routes”
J Pharm Pract Res 2007: 37(2) 149-52
Verification of prescription
Prescription should be screened by pharmacist
with experience in cancer treatment-2nd check
 Chemotherapy must be prescribed in context of
a referenced protocol
 Prescription must state, for each course of
therapy


No crushing or tablet splitting in pharmacy
If dose is unusual, liquids should be obtained
from manufacturer, or specialized facility where
compounding is done in a non-sterilized
cytotoxic hood (not easy to locate such
facilities).
Do not compound oral agents within the
cytotoxic drug safety cabinet because of
contamination—Differs from some US

Children
Safe handling of medications by family
shpa guidelines
Take with water within 30 minutes of a meal
If a dose is missed, do not take when you remember,
and do not double-up dose next time
 Stop taking and contact your oncology team if
experiencing 4 or more bowel movements per day,
diarrhea at night, loss of appetite, large reduction in
fluid intake, if you vomit more than 1 time in a day,
mouth sores, temperature greater than 100.4, or pain,
redness or swelling in the hands and feet that

Handling
Disposal
Patient name, date of birth, height, weight and
body surface area (verified by the pharmacist)
 Patient’s diagnosis
 Protocol used, including other medications
 Dose per m2 and dose for the patient
 Duration of therapy – specific information
regarding days of therapy
 Signed by oncologist (not the Fellow, the
Resident the primary care physician, nor the
secretary)
 Days supply should be no more than 4 – 6 weeks
in general (most often less)

In general, ask the oncology clinic to provide protocol
with references, Lexicomp, chemoregimen.com may
contain some standard protocols
 These references should be verified
 Package insert will have minimum and maximum
dosing information
 Must have diagnosis to correctly verify the protocol

 Diagnosis should contain treatment and stage
information.
 For example: Adjuvant breast cancer or advanced lung
cancer, second line therapy
Obtain and use separate counting tray and
spatula
 Have a separate area to dispense for these
agents
 Clean with detergent and water-not alcohol
 Use gloves
 Consider having cytotoxic agents separate from
general inventory
 Consider wearing a separate laboratory coat for
this activity
 Consider wearing a mask

Dose of temozolomide is 75 mg/m2 daily
Calculate the dose: 75 mg/m2 x 1.25 = 93.75
mg
Most likely, based on available strengths, this
dose would be rounded up to 100 mg daily
How/when to take medication
Address “gaps” in therapy i.e. take days 1-21 of
28 days.


Instruct patient not to take whenever they
“remember,” nor double-up on medication
Contact oncology clinic if missed dosing
occurs greater than half the dosing interval
For weekly dosing (methotrexate) there is a
bit of leeway here.
Best managed by preventing nausea and
vomiting
 Nausea-hard candy, small frequent meals,
chewing gum
 If patient vomits more than once per 24 hours,
call MD
 If vomiting each day, call oncology team:
reconsider oral chemotherapy
 PRN scripts should be written for patients

Common dose limiting side effect:
 Especially with temozolomide, lomustine,
hydroxyurea, targeted therapies
 Can occur with capecitabine

At risk for infection – when Absolute
Neutrophil count is below 500, especially
when lower than 100



Check for temperature – any temp > 100.4
call the oncology team/go to ED
Any signs of infection such as: chills, cough,
sore throat, shortness of breath, pain or
burning on urination, pain or swelling,
redness at a port site – contact the oncology
team/go to ED
Avoid contact with anyone who is ill.

Some drugs can cause anemia. Symptoms
include fatigue, shortness of breath, and if
history of arrhythmias, may lead to
arrhythmia, chest pain. If these symptoms
develop, recommend patient go to ED.



Symptoms would be increased bruising, and
bleeding. Bloody nose, gums, urine, or stool
(can also be black stools).
Any bleeding should be evaluated. If patient
has bleeding, should go to ED.
Use soft toothbrush, electric razor.


Commonly occurs with capecitabine
Counseling tips
 Avoid dairy, prune juice or caffeine
 Replace fluids and electrolytes
 If fever, go to ED
 Loperamide 2 tablets at start of diarrhea
 Continue with one tablet every 2 hours until
diarrhea resolved for 12 hours
 If uncontrollable, go to ED
Occurs with higher doses of methotrexate,
cyclophosphamide, also capecitabine
 Prevention: avoid hot, spicy, foods, “sharp
foods” like potato chips
 Brush with soft toothbrush
 Treatment: avoid alcohol containing products,
mouth rinses
 Rinse mouth out with Biotene, or sodium
bicarbonate and salt rinse
 Magic mouthwash, Carafate suspension





Capecitabine – most common
Also mercaptopurine, sorafinib, hydroxyurea
Skin reaction appears most commonly on the
palms of the hands and soles of the feet
May appear on other areas body that
experiences increased pressure or warmth

Some chemotherapy (capecitabine) risk 32 –
74%
 Severe PPE 0 – 63%

Theory:
 Accumulation of drug metabolites in skin,
elimination of chemotherapy and metabolites
through sweat glands. Vascular degeneration
results in skin death in areas of high blood flow,
especially with local pressure, and abrasion.




Starts with several days of dysesthesias of
the palms or soles
A painful symmetrical erythema appears
Often with edema
Less frequent areas involved




Groin
Buttocks
Under pendulous breasts
axillae




Time to occurrence 2 – 12 days of starting
therapy
With proper management, PPE can be mild
and resolve in 1 – 2 weeks
If not attended to, PPE can evolve into
blistering desquamation, crusting, ulceration,
and epidermal necrosis
Even mild, PPE can interfere with daily
activities and be uncomfortable







Reduce pressure or abrasion to the skin
Avoid blood vessel dilatation
Wear loose clothing and footwear
Keep skin moist with emollients
Avoid hot climatic conditions (warm vs hot
showers), harsh soaps, or detergents
Pat skin dry rather than rubbing
Effects of prevention are modest





Chemotherapy dose reduction
Less frequent dosing
Withdrawal from the drug
Early detection is key to preventing severe
reactions
Therefore, important to counsel patient to
call oncology team with any symptoms

Emollients
 Bag balm, aloe vera lotion, urea based creams
 Apply three times daily



Has demonstrated improvements
Cooling measures – ice packs
Recommend close surveillance during
therapy – notify health care provider


Specifically due to tyrosine kinase inhibitors
Usually due to agents that target EGFR
 Skin, hair follicles, and nails
Within the epidermis, EGFR stimulates
epidermal growth, inhibits cell differentiation,
protects against sun damage, inhibits
inflammation and accelerates wound healing
 Resultant breaks in skin integrity and
accumulation of nonviable cells favors bacterial
overgrowth, and increased risk of infections



Data suggests rash indicates better response
to treatment
In some protocols, attempts made to
increase dose to elicit significant skin rash.


In one trial in pancreatic cancer, overall 81%
of patients developed a grade 2 rash to
erlotinib
In patients who experienced a rash, median
survival was 7.1 months (grade 1), 11.1
months (grade 2), versus a median survival of
3.3 months in patients with no rash
j Clin Oncol 2007; 25:1960-6.


Use a thick emollient cream
Protection from sunlight; use sunscreen with
a minimum of SPF 15
 Wear hat, coverage outside preferable
 Remember the lips!


Mild: no treatment of rash, or can consider
using low potency topical steroids and/or
topical antibiotics such as clindamycin
Moderate: topical hydrocortisone or
pimecrolimus or clindamycin gel plus
systemic antibiotics (doxycycline or
minocycline)




Severe: systemic corticosteroid pulse and
taper plus therapies for moderate rash
Mild to moderate rashes-continue cancer
therapy
Severe: dose held or lowered until rash
improves
Counsel patients with rash to contact
oncology team



HTN Common with sunitinib (about 30% of
patients)
Also associated with heart failure
Monitor blood pressure for first 6 weeks
 Usually treated with medications

Monitor for symptoms of heart failure:
increased fluid, shortness of breath, fatigue
(which is a common side effect)- clinic should
be monitoring ejection fraction as well

