In this study, including 54 PCNSL patients with 175 HD-MTX-based chemotherapy courses, the rate of AKI and myelosuppression increased significantly in patients treated with HD-MTX co-administered with VDS. We also found a significant correlation between MTX pharmacokinetics, eGFR before MTX infusion, and toxicity.
Abstract
What is Known and Objective
Methotrexate (MTX) is an antimetabolic antitumor drug with high individual differences and may lead to severe toxicities in a considerable number of patients. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing major adverse events in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma treated with high-dose MTX (HD-MTX), which could be useful in clinical practice.
Methods
Fifty-four patients who received 175 courses of MTX at 3–8 g/m2 between January 2015 and December 2016 were enrolled in this study. We assessed the association between clinical characteristics, MTX pharmacokinetics, MTX delayed elimination, and adverse events, including hepatotoxicity, acute kidney injury (AKI), and myelosuppression.
Results and Discussion
A total of 124 adverse events occurred after MTX infusion. Using independent sample t-tests, we found that patients with myelosuppression had higher MTX area under the concentration-time curve up to 48 h after infusion (AUC0-48h) (p = 0.001) and MTX peak concentration (Cmax) (p = 0.002). MTX concentrations at 48 and 72 h were higher in patients with AKI than in those without (p = 0.034 and p = 0.041, respectively). Using chi-square tests, we found that AKI was correlated with MTX elimination at either 48 h or 72 h (22.1% vs. 8.2%, p = 0.010). By multivariate logistic regression model, our results showed that baseline level of ALT and WBC had a significant effect on hepatotoxicity (OR = 1.079, 95% CI 1.044–1.116, p = 6.9 × 10−6; OR = 0.808, 95% CI 0.711–0.917, p = 0.001, respectiv ely). Patient's age, eGFR before MTX infusion, and co-administration of vindesine had a significant effect on AKI (OR = 0.960, 95% CI 0.935–0.986, p = 0.003; OR = 1.009, 95% CI 1.001–1.017, p = 0.034; OR = 5.463, 95% CI 1.793–16.646, p = 0.003, respectively). LDH and Co-administration of vindesine had a significant effect on myelosuppression (OR = 0.985, 95% CI 0.972–0.998, p = 0.025; OR = 3.070, 95% CI 1.032–9.133, p = 0.044).
What is New and Conclusion
Our study demonstrated that co-administration of VDS, eGFR before MTX infusion, and the baseline index of laboratory examinations including ALT, WBC, LDH may be useful biomarkers for predicting MTX-induced toxicities.
