“…The glomerular filtration rate progressively declines by about 1% each year after the age of 40 years (Evers et al, 1995). Thus, dose adaptation of drugs with renal elimination has been proposed in case of creatinine clearance lower than 60 ml min À1 (Kintzel and Dorr, 1995). The mean creatinine clearance was about 57 ml min À1 in the present study.…”

“…The PKs of anthracyclines and their metabolites in the setting of renal dysfunction may correlate to some degree with CrCL, but there are no PK data to support dose adjustment in the presence of impaired renal function [42].…”

“…Methotrexate doses must be reduced in patients with renal dysfunction, and its use should be avoided in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCL Յ30 ml/minute). Kintzel and Dorr [42], in their summary, provided dosing guidelines for methotrexate in the setting of moderate renal dysfunction: a 35% reduction for a CrCL of 46 -60 ml/minute and a 50% reduction for a CrCL of 31-45 ml/minute.…”

“…Significant proportions of ifosfamide and its metabolites are excreted in the urine [42], and because of the greater risk for central nervous system toxicity, ifosfamide doses should be decreased in the presence of renal dysfunction. A dosing regimen based on CrCL has been proposed by Kintzel and Dorr [42]: a 20% reduction for a CrCL of 46 -60 ml/min, a 25% reduction for a CrCL of 31-45 ml/minute, and a 30% reduction for a CrCL of Յ30 ml/minute.…”

After completing this course, the reader will be able to:1. Describe the currently recommended dose adjustments for common chemotherapeutics in oncology patients with organ dysfunction.2. Explain the rationale for using phase I dose-escalation studies to determine appropriate chemotherapy dosing in patients with organ dysfunction.3. Discuss the limitations of the currently available studies to guide chemotherapy dose adjustment in patients with organ dysfunction.Access and take the CME test online and receive 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit ™ at CME.TheOncologist.com CME CME ABSTRACTThere are few prospective data regarding the pharmacokinetics and clinical toxicity of commonly used chemotherapeutics in cancer patients with organ dysfunction. Although increasing numbers of studies are investigating newer chemotherapeutics in patients with liver or kidney dysfunction, most guidelines for dosing, especially for established agents, remain empiric. This review describes the available data (both prospective and case study) evaluating the impact of renal and hepatic dysfunction on toxicity and dosing of commonly used chemotherapeutics and provides a practical summary for their use in this setting.

In the case of acute myelogenous leukemia, a higher prevalence of MDR-1 expression and involvement of the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells in the neoplastic process contribute to chemotherapy resistance. Chemotherapyrelated myelodepression, cardiotoxicity, and peripheral and central neurotoxicity are more common and more severe in older individuals. This toxicity results from the increased vulnerability of target organs and delayed excretion of renally excretable agents. The complications of chemotherapy may be ameliorated by modifying the doses of drugs according to the patient's creatinine clearance, by using antidotes to drug toxicity, and by the early diagnosis and timely management of therapeutic complications. A comprehensive assessment of the older person with cancer allows clinicians to predict the benefits and risks of cancer chemotherapy in individual circumstances.
