Monitor Closely (2)
- lomustine
palifermin increases toxicity of lomustine by unknown mechanism. Use Caution/Monitor. Palifermin should not be administered within 24 hr before, during infusion of, or within 24 hr after administration of antineoplastic agents. Coadministration of palifermin within 24 hr of chemotherapy resulted in increased severity and duration of oral mucositis.
- siponimod
siponimod and palifermin both increase immunosuppressive effects; risk of infection. Use Caution/Monitor. Caution if coadministered because of additive immunosuppressive effects during such therapy and in the weeks following administration. When switching from drugs with prolonged immune effects, consider the half-life and mode of action of these drugs to avoid unintended additive immunosuppressive effects.

Warnings
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to palifermin or E coli-derived proteins
Cautions
Do not administer <24 hr before, during, or <24 hr after myelotoxic treatment; may worsen mucositis
Potential for tumor growth stimulation
Safety/efficacy not established for nonhematologic malignancies
Do not freeze reconstituted solution
Not recommended for use with melphalan 200 mg/m² as a conditioning regimen
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Based on findings in animal studies, therapy may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women; there are no data available on use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
Reproductive potential
- Based on findings from animal studies, drug may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential; the reversibility of effects on fertility is unknown
Animal data
- In animal reproduction studies, intravenous administration of palifermin to pregnant rabbits and rats during period of organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal mortality and alterations to growth
Lactation
There are no data on presence of drug in human milk, effect on breastfed child, or on milk production; since many drugs are secreted into human milk, and because of potential for serious adverse reactions in a nursing child, breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment and for at least 2 weeks after last dose
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
