(Generic available)

Solution for injection: 6 mg/mL

Paclitaxel Protein-Bound Particles (Albumin-Bound)

Lyophilized powder for injection: 100 mg/vial

Assessment ⬆ ⬇

Monitor vital signs frequently, especially during 1st hr of the infusion.
Monitor cardiovascular status especially during 1st 3 hr of infusion. Hypotension and bradycardia are common but usually do not require treatment. Continuous ECG monitoring is recommended only for patients with serious underlying conduction abnormalities or those concurrently taking doxorubicin.
Monitor for bone marrow suppression. Assess for bleeding (bleeding gums; bruising; petechiae; guaiac stools, urine, or emesis) and avoid IM injections and taking rectal temperatures if platelet count is low. Apply pressure to venipuncture sites for 10 min. Assess for signs of infection during neutropenia. Anemia may occur. Monitor for dyspnea and orthostatic hypotension. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) may be used if necessary.
Monitor intake and output, appetite, and nutritional intake. Paclitaxel causes nausea and vomiting in 50% of patients. Prophylactic antiemetics may be used. Adjust diet as tolerated to help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and nutritional status.
Assess for arthralgia and myalgia, which usually begin 2–3 days after therapy and resolve within 5 days. Pain is usually relieved by nonopioid analgesics but may be severe enough to require treatment with opioid analgesics.
Assess for rash periodically during therapy. May cause SJS and TEN. If rash severe or if accompanied with fever, general malaise, fatigue, muscle or joint aches, blisters, oral lesions, conjunctivitis, hepatitis, and/or eosinophilia, discontinue paclitaxel.
Paclitaxel: Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions continuously during the 1st 30 min and frequently thereafter. These occur frequently (19%), usually during the 1st 10 min of paclitaxel infusion, after the 1st or 2nd dose. Most common manifestations are dyspnea, flushing, tachycardia, rash, hypotension, and chest pain. If these occur, stop infusion and notify health care provider. Treatment may include bronchodilators, epinephrine, antihistamines, and corticosteroids. Keep these agents and resuscitative equipment close by in the event of an anaphylactic reaction. Other manifestations of hypersensitivity reactions include flushing and rash. Patients experiencing hypersensitivity reactions should not be rechallenged with paclitaxel.
Assess for development of peripheral neuropathy. If severe symptoms occur, subsequent dose should be ↓ by 20%.
Paclitaxel Protein-Bound (Albumin-Bound): Do not rechallenge patients who experience a severe hypersensitivity reaction.
Sensory neuropathy is dose- and schedule-dependent. If Grade ≥3 sensory neuropathy, hold paclitaxel protein-bound (albumin-bound) until resolution to Grade <2 for metastatic breast cancer or until resolution to Grade ≤1 for NSCLC and pancreatic cancer followed by a dose ↓ for all subsequent courses of therapy.

Lab Test Considerations:

Verify negative pregnancy test before starting therapy.
Paclitaxel: Monitor CBC and differential before and periodically during therapy. The nadir of leukopenia occurs in 11 days, with recovery by days 15–21. If neutrophil counts <500/mm³ for ≥1 wk,↓ dose by 20% for subsequent courses.
- Paclitaxel Protein-Bound Particles (Albumin-Bound)Monitor CBC and differential frequently, including before starting therapy and prior to dosing on Day 1 (for breast cancer), 8, and 15 (for NSCLC and pancreatic cancer). For Breast Cancer:If severe neutropenia (ANC <500 cells/mm³ for ≥7 days),↓ dose to 220 mg/m². If recurrence of severe neutropenia,↓ dose to 180 mg/m². For NSCLC: If neutropenic fever (ANC <500/mm³ with fever >38°C) OR delay of next cycle by >7 days for ANC <1500/mm³ OR ANC <500/mm³ for >7 days,↓ dose on 1st occurrence to 75 mg/m² and on 2nd occurrence, ↓ dose to 50 mg/m². For 3rd occurrence, discontinue therapy. If severe neutropenia (ANC <500 cells/mm³ for ≥7 days),↓ dose in subsequent courses. If platelet count <50,000/mm³, for 1st occurrence, ↓ dose to 75 mg/m². Discontinue therapy at 2nd occurrence. For Pancreatic Cancer: On Day 1, if ANC <1500 cells/mm³ OR platelet count <100,000 cells/mm³, hold next dose until recovery. On Day 8, if ANC 500–<1000 cells/mm³ OR platelet count 50,000–<75,000 cells/mm³,↓ dose one level; on Day 8, if ANC <500 cells/mm³ OR <50,000 cells/mm³, hold dose. On Day 15, if Day 8 doses were ↓ or given without modification and ANC 500–<1000 cells/mm³ OR platelet count 50,000–<75,000 cells/mm³,↓ dose one level from Day 8. On Day 15, if Day 8 doses were ↓ or given without modification and ANC <500 cells/mm³ OR platelet count <50,000 cells/mm³, hold doses. On Day 15, if Day 8 doses were held and ANC ≥1000 cells/mm³ OR platelet count ≥75,000 cells/mm³,↓ dose one level from Day 1. On Day 15, if Day 8 doses were held and ANC 500–<1000 cells/mm³ OR platelet count 50,000–<75,000 cells/mm³,↓ dose two levels from Day 1. On Day 15, if Day 8 doses were held and ANC <500 cells/mm³ OR platelet count <50,000 cells/mm³, hold doses.
- Monitor AST, ALT, LDH, and bilirubin before and periodically during therapy.

Implementation ⬆ ⬇

Do not confuse paclitaxel with docetaxel or paclitaxel protein-bound particles.
Paclitaxel should be administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.

Consider premedication in patients who have had prior hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel protein-bound (albumin-bound).
Dose Reduction for Pancreatic Cancer: Full dose: 125 mm/m². 1st dose ↓: 100 mm/m². 2nd dose ↓: 75 mm/m². If additional dose ↓ required, discontinue therapy.

Paclitaxel

IV Administration:

Pretreatment is recommended for all patients and should include dexamethasone 20 mg PO (10 mg for patients with advanced HIV disease) 12 hr and 6 hr before paclitaxel, diphenhydramine 50 mg IV 30–60 min before paclitaxel, and famotidine 20 mg IV 30–60 min before paclitaxel.
Vesicant: Paclitaxel is a vesicant. If extravasation occurs, immediately stop infusion. Leave needle/cannula in place temporarily but do not flush the line. Gently aspirate extravasated solution; then remove needle/cannula. Elevate patient’s extremity and apply dry cold compresses for 20 min 4 times day for 1–2 days. Initiate hyaluronidase antidote for refractory cases in addition to supportive management. For hyaluronidase, inject 1–6 mL (150 units/mL) into existing IV line; usual dose is 1 mL for each 1 mL of extravasated drug; if needle/cannula has been removed, inject SUBQ in a clockwise manner around area of extravasation; may repeat several times over the next 3–4 hr.
Intermittent Infusion: Diluent: Dilute contents of 5 mL (30 mg) vials with 0.9% NaCl, D5W, D5/0.9% NaCl, or dextrose 5% in Ringer’s solution. Although haziness in solution is normal, inspect for particulate matter or discoloration before use. Protect from light. Use an in-line filter of not >0.22-micron pore size. Solutions are stable for 27 hr at ambient temperature. Do not use PVC containers or administration sets. Concentration: 0.3–1.2 mg/mL. Rate: Dose for breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma is administered over 3 hr. Dose for ovarian cancer can also be administered as a 24 hr infusion.

Paclitaxel Protein-Bound Particles (Albumin-Bound)

IV Administration:

Vesicant: Paclitaxel protein bound particles is an irritant. If extravasation occurs, immediately stop infusion. Leave needle/cannula in place temporarily but do not flush the line. Gently aspirate extravasated solution; then remove needle/cannula. Elevate patient’s extremity and apply dry cold compresses for 20 min 4 times day for 1–2 days.
Intermittent Infusion: Reconstitution: Reconstitute by slowly adding 20 mL to each vial over ≥1 min. Direct solution to inside wall of vial to prevent foaming. Allow vial to sit for >5 min to ensure proper wetting of cake/powder. Gently swirl or invert vial for ≥2 min until powder is completely dissolved; avoid foaming. If foaming or clumping occurs, allow vial to stand for 15 min until foaming dissolves. Suspension should be milky and homogenous without visible particles. If particles or settling are visible, gently invert vial to resuspend. Concentration: 5 mg/mL. Inject appropriate amount of reconstituted suspension into empty sterile PVC IV bag. Do not use an in-line filter during administration. Do not administer suspension that is discolored or contains particulate matter. Should be administered immediately but is stable for 8 hr if refrigerated. Discard unused portion.
Rate: Administer over 30 min.
