              Warnings

              Black Box Warnings

              The drug should be administered under the supervision of an experienced cancer chemotherapy physician

              Severe nephrotoxicity, myelosuppression, and nausea and vomiting are dose related

              Significant ototoxicity, manifested by tinnitus and occasionally deafness, reported in children

              Anaphylactic-like reactions have occurred. Facial edema, bronchoconstriction, tachycardia, and hypotension may occur within minutes of cisplatin administration

              Failure to differentiate daily doses from total dose per treatment cycle may result in cisplatin overdose

              Contraindications

              Hypersensitivity to cisplatin, other platinum compounds

              Severe myelosuppression, renal impairment, hearing impairment

              Pregnancy, lactation

              Cautions

              Irritant; injection site reactions may occur during administration; local soft tissue toxicity reported following extravasation of cisplatin for injection; severity of local tissue toxicity appears to be related to concentration of drug; closely monitor infusion site during drug administration

              Avoid aluminum needles/equipment

              Pediatric patients, hearing impairment, neuropathy, neuromuscular disease, with neurotoxic agents, with ototoxic agents, elderly

              Risk of cumulative nephrotoxicity (exacerbated by aminoglycoside antibiotics); renal toxicity becomes more prolonged and severe with repeated courses; renal function must return to normal before administering another dose

              Myelosuppression occurs in 25-30%; nadirs in circulating platelets and leukocytes occur between days 18-23 (range 7.5-45) with most patients recovering by day 39; elderly may be more susceptible to myelosuppression

              Development of acute leukemia secondary to therapy reported; in these reports, cisplatin for injection was generally given in combination with other leukemogenic agents

              Cardiac abnormalities, hiccups, elevated serum amylase, rash, alopecia, malaise, asthenia, and dehydration have been reported

              Ocular toxicity

              • Optic neuritis, papilledema, and cortical blindness reported in patients receiving standard recommended doses of cisplatin for injection
              • Blurred vision and altered color perception reported after use of regimens with higher doses and dose frequencies of cisplatin for injection; the altered color perception manifests as a loss of color discrimination, particularly in the blue-yellow axis and irregular retinal pigmentation of macular area on fundoscopic exam
              • Improvement and/or total recovery usually occurs after discontinuing cisplatin for injection but can be delayed

              Renal toxicity

              • Ensure adequate hydration before, during, and after administration; measure serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine clearance, and serum electrolytes including magnesium prior to initiating therapy, and as clinically indicated; consider magnesium supplementation as clinically needed
              • Consider alternative treatments or reduce dose for patients with baseline renal impairment or who develop significant reductions in creatinine clearance during treatment

              Peripheral neuropathy

              • Drug can cause dose-related peripheral neuropathy that becomes more severe with repeated courses of drug; neurologic symptoms have been reported to occur after a single dose
              • Neuropathy can also have a delayed onset from 3-8 weeks after last dose of cisplatin for injection; manifestations include paresthesias in a stocking-glove distribution, areflexia, and loss of proprioception and vibratory sensation
              • Neuropathy may progress further even after stopping treatment; peripheral neuropathy may be irreversible in some patients
              • Perform a neurological examination before initiating therapy, at appropriate intervals during therapy, and after completion of therapy; consider discontinuation of cisplatin for injection for patients who develop symptomatic peripheral neuropathy; geriatric patients may be more susceptible to peripheral neuropathy

              Nausea and vomiting

              • Cisplatin for injection is a highly emetogenic antineoplastic agent; premedicate with anti-emetic agents; without antiemetic therapy, marked nausea and vomiting occur in almost all patients treated with cisplatin for injection and may be so severe that drug must be discontinued
              • Nausea and vomiting may begin within 1 to 4 hr after treatment and last up to 72 hr; maximal intensity occurs 48 to 72 hours after administration
              • Various degrees of vomiting, nausea, and/or anorexia may persist for up to 1 week after treatment; delayed nausea and vomiting (begins or persists 24 hours or more after chemotherapy) has occurred in patients attaining complete emetic control on day of injection therapy
              • Consider use of additional anti-emetics following infusion

              Myelosuppression

              • Potential fatalities due to infection (secondary to myelosuppression) reported
              • Perform standard hematologic tests before initiating therapy, before each subsequent course, and as clinically indicated; closely monitor patients for development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with cisplatin for injection; for patients who develop severe myelosuppression, consider dose modifications and manage according to clinical treatment guidelines

              Hypersensitivity

              • Therapy can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and death; manifestations have included facial edema, wheezing, tachycardia, hypotension; hypersensitivity reactions have occurred within minutes of administration to patients with prior exposure to cisplatin
              • Severe hypersensitivity reactions require immediate discontinuation of cisplatin for injection and aggressive therapy; patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions should not be rechallenged with cisplatin for injection
              • Cross-reactivity between platinum-based antineoplastic agents reported; cases of severe hypersensitivity reactions have recurred after rechallenging patients with a different platinum agent

              Ototoxicity

              • Cisplatin for injection can cause ototoxicity, which is cumulative and may be severe; consider audiometric and vestibular function monitoring
              • Ototoxic effects may be more severe and detrimental in pediatric patients receiving cisplatin for injection, particularly in patients less than 5 years of age; consider audiometric and vestibular function monitoring in all patients receiving cisplatin for injection; the prevalence of hearing loss in pediatric patients is particularly high and is estimated to be 40% to 60%
              • Earlier detection of hearing loss can limit potential impact of hearing impairment on a pediatric patient’s cognitive and social development

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              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 treatment and for 11 months after the last dose

              Infertility

              • Females: Use associated with cumulative dose-dependent ovarian failure, premature menopause, and reduced fertility
              • Males: Use associated with a cumulative dose-dependent impairment of spermatogenesis (oligospermia, azoospermia; possibly irreversible) and reduced fertility

              Animal data

              • Cisplatin for injection administration to animals during and after organogenesis resulted in teratogenicity; a published study in mice showed placental transfer of cisplatin increased with placenta maturation

              Lactation

              Limited data from published literature report the presence of drug in human milk; because of potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child and because of potential for tumorigenicity, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during 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.

              COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Platinol-AQ

              WARNING: Cisplatin may cause severe kidney problems, nerve problems, and severe nausea and vomiting. Nerve problems may occur during treatment or weeks after stopping treatment. Your risk of these problems increases with higher doses or longer treatment with cisplatin. Tell your doctor right way if you develop any of the following symptoms: change in the amount of urine, numbness/tingling of arms/legs, loss of reflexes, loss of balance, trouble walking, nausea, or vomiting.This medication decreases bone marrow function, an effect that may lead to a low number of blood cells such as red cells, white cells, and platelets. This effect can cause anemia, decrease your body's ability to fight an infection, or cause easy bruising/bleeding. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of the following symptoms: unusual tiredness, pale skin, easy bruising/bleeding, or signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever, chills).

              USES: Cisplatin is used to treat various types of cancer. It is a chemotherapy drug that contains platinum. It is used to slow or stop cancer cell growth.

              HOW TO USE: This medication is usually given by injection into a vein by a health care professional. The dosage is based on your medical condition, body size, and response to treatment.During treatment with this medication, it is important that you take in more fluids than usual and pass urine often to help avoid kidney side effects. Intravenous fluids should be given with this medication. Also, ask your doctor how much fluid you should drink and follow these instructions carefully.If this medication comes into contact with your skin, wash your skin right away and completely with soap and water.

              SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section.Loss of taste, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite may occur. Nausea and vomiting can be severe. 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.Temporary hair loss may occur. Normal hair growth should return after treatment has ended.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.
