Plasma Levels of Tamoxifen, N-Desmethyl Tamoxifen and Anastrozole in a Patient with Metastatic Breast Cancer and Chronic Hemodialysis

Abstract: Endocrine therapy for hormone-sensitive breast cancer is a well-established treatment option, both in adjuvant and palliative settings. For patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, only scant pharmacokinetic data have been published for tamoxifen, and no data have been published for anastrozole. We therefore measured plasma levels of tamoxifen, its major metabolite, N-desmethyl tamoxifen, and anastrozole in a breast cancer patient undergoing chronic hemodialysis. Clinical tolerability was good. The blood leve… Show more

“…up to 15 ng/mL after oral application, clenbuterol up to 30 ng/mL, toremifene >1000 ng/mL, trenbolone 50 ng/mL (in horse plasma), exemestane up to 50 ng/mL, salbutamol 10 ng/mL after oral application, formoterol up to 20 ng/mL after inhalative administration (i.v. ), resveratrol 40 ng/mL and GW1516 in a range of 40 to 700 ng/mL 29–44. Plasma concentrations of over 5 µg/mL for the selected peptides were reported for growth hormone release peptide‐2 (GHRP‐2) after intravenous administration of 3 mg/kg (in rats) 45.…”

“…There are no dialysis dose adjustments in the US prescribing information for trastuzumab. One study suggested that tamoxifen does not require dose adjustment in patients with CRF and breast cancer receiving regular dialysis 19. Tamoxifen is excreted by the intestine, is not filtered by the kidneys, and is not easily removed by dialysis treatment.…”
