Warnings
Black Box Warnings
The drug should be administered under the supervision of an experienced cancer chemotherapy physician
Bone marrow suppression (notably thrombocytopenia and leukopenia) is the most common and severe of the toxic effects that may result from carmustine administration. It may contribute to bleeding and infections; monitor blood counts for at least 6 weeks after a dose
Pulmonary toxicity is dose related; risk increases with cumulative doses > 1400 mg/m², history of lung disease and duration of therapy; delayed cases of pulmonary fibrosis that can result in death have been reported 15 years after administration in children
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Cautions
Do not give more frequently than q6-8wk due to delayed myelosuppression; complete blood count should be monitored weekly for at least six weeks after each dose
Risk of irreversible pulmonary fibrosis on long-term treatment
Injection site reactions may occur during administration; rapid infusion may cause burning along the vein and flushing of skin
Extravasation risk, monitor closely during infusion
Ocular toxicity associated with intracarotid route (investigational); safety and efficacy not established
Associated with moderate to high emetic potential; administer antiemetics to prevent nausea and vomiting
Monitor liver function tests periodically during therapy; reversible increases (rare) in bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase levels, and transaminases reported
Wafer implant associated with intracranial hypertension; brain edema reported in patients with newly diagnosed glioma; monitor closely for intracranial hypertension related to brain edema, inflammation, or necrosis of brain tissues surrounding resection; in refractory cases, removing the wafer may be necessary
Meningitis reported in patients with recurrent glioma receiving wafer implants; monitor postoperatively for signs/symptoms of meningitis and CNS infection
Renal failure, decreased kidney size, and progressive azotemia reported in patients receiving low or large cumulative doses or prolonged treatment; monitor renal function periodically
Long-term use associated with development of secondary malignancies (acute leukemia and bone marrow dysplasias)
Wafer implants associated with seizures; treatment-emergent seizures reported within 5 days of surgery; initiate optimal anti-seizure therapy prior to surgery

Avoid pregnancy
Contraception
- Advise female patients to avoid pregnancy during therapy because of risk of fetal harm
- Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use highly effective contraception during and for up to six months after completion of treatment

Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Therapy can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman; there are no available data on use in pregnant women
Animal data
- Drug is embryotoxic and teratogenic in rats at exposures less than exposure at recommended human dose based on body surface area (BSA) and embryotoxic in rabbits at exposures similar to exposures at the recommended human dose based on BSA; advise pregnant women of potential risk to a fetus
- Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to therapy
- Therapy can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
- Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception for 6 months after therapy
- Based on its mechanism of action, advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception for 3 months following therapy
- Carmustine caused testicular degeneration in animals; advise male patients of potential risk of infertility
Lactation
No data are available regarding presence of drug or metabolites in human milk or effects on breastfed child or on milk production; because of potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children from therapy, advise women not to breastfeed following treatment and for at least 7 days after treatment
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology

CARMUSTINE - INJECTION
(kar-MUS-teen)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): BiCNU
WARNING: Carmustine may cause serious bleeding/blood problems. This effect can cause anemia, lower your body's ability to fight an infection, or cause your body to bruise or bleed more easily. Your doctor will check you closely during and for at least 6 weeks after treatment to lessen the chance of serious side effects. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms such as easy bruising/bleeding, unusual tiredness, signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever, chills).This medication may also cause very serious (possibly fatal) lung problems. The risk increases after receiving higher total doses and can occur years after treatment. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms such as cough that doesn't go away, shortness of breath, chest pain, unusual weakness/tiredness.
USES: This medication is used to treat certain types of cancer (including multiple myeloma, brain tumor, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). Carmustine belongs to a class of drugs known as alkylating agents. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells.
HOW TO USE: This medication is given by slow injection into a vein by a health care professional. It is given as directed by your doctor, usually every 6 weeks. The dosage is based on your medical condition, body size, and response to treatment.
SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section.Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headache, flushing, eye redness, or pain at the injection site may occur. Nausea and vomiting can be severe. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medication to prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting. Eating several small meals, not eating before treatment, or limiting activity may help lessen some of these effects. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.People using this medication may have serious side effects. However, you have been prescribed this drug because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Careful monitoring by your doctor may decrease your risk.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), signs of liver problems (such as nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, loss of appetite, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine), vision changes.People who are treated with this medication may rarely get other cancers. Consult your doctor for more details.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
