  • Overdoses (up to 5-fold of the prescribed dose) have occurred in patients receiving HYCAMTIN capsules. The primary complication of overdosage is myelosuppression. Mucositis have occurred with overdosages. If an overdose is suspected, monitor the patient closely for myelosuppression and institute supportive-care measures as appropriate.
  • Topotecan is a topoisomerase inhibitor. The chemical name for topotecan hydrochloride is ()-10-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-4-ethyl-4,9-dihydroxy-1-pyrano[3',4':6,7] indolizino [1,2-]quinoline-3,14-(4,12)-dione monohydrochloride. The molecular formula is CHNOu2022HCl and the molecular weight is 457.9 g/mol. It is soluble in water and melts with decomposition at 213u00b0C to 218u00b0C.
  • Topotecan hydrochloride has the following structural formula:
  • HYCAMTIN capsules, contain topotecan hydrochloride, the content of which is expressed as topotecan free base. Each 0.25 mg and 1 mg capsule contain topotecan hydrochloride equivalent to 0.25 mg and 1 mg topotecan free-base, respectively. The excipients are gelatin, glyceryl monostearate, hydrogenated vegetable oil, and titanium dioxide. The capsules are imprinted with edible black ink. The 1 mg capsules also contain red iron oxide.
  • No data
  • Carcinogenicity testing of topotecan has not been done. Nevertheless, topotecan is known to be genotoxic to mammalian cells and is a probable carcinogen. Topotecan was mutagenic to L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells and clastogenic to cultured human lymphocytes with and without metabolic activation. It was also clastogenic to mouse bone marrow. Topotecan did not cause mutations in bacterial cells.
  • Topotecan given to female rats prior to mating at an intravenous dose of 1.4 mg/m [(about 0.6 times the 2.3 mg/m oral clinical dose based on body surface area (BSA)] caused superovulation possibly related to inhibition of follicular atresia. This dose given to pregnant female rats also caused increased pre-implantation loss. Studies in dogs given an intravenous dose of 0.4 mg/m (about 0.2 times the 2.3 mg/m oral clinical dose based on BSA) of topotecan daily for a month suggest that treatment may cause an increase in the incidence of multinucleated spermatogonial giant cells in the testes.
  • The efficacy of HYCAMTIN capsules was studied in 141 patients with relapsed SCLC in a randomized, controlled, open-label trial (Study 478). The patients were prior responders (complete or partial) to first-line chemotherapy, were not considered candidates for standard intravenous chemotherapy and had relapsed at least 45 days from the end of first-line chemotherapy. Patients were randomized 1:1 to HYCAMTIN capsules (2.3 mg/m orally once daily for 5 consecutive days, starting on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle) with best supportive care (BSC) or BSC alone. The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS).
  • Patients randomized to HYCAMTIN capsules with BSC received a median of 4 courses (range: 1 to 10) and maintained a median dose intensity of 3.77 mg/m/week. The median patient age in patients receiving HYCAMTIN capsules with BSC and BSC alone was 60 years and 58 years, while the percentage of patients aged greater than or equal to 65 years was 34% and 29%, respectively. The majority of patients were White (99%) and male (73%). In the HYCAMTIN capsules with BSC arm, 68% of patients had extensive disease and 28% had liver metastasis. In the BSC alone arm, 61% had extensive disease and 20% had liver metastases. Eighty percent of patients receiving HYCAMTIN capsules with BSC previously received carboplatin or cisplatin and 77% of patients in the BSC alone arm received prior carboplatin or cisplatin. In the arm receiving HYCAMTIN capsules with BSC, 18% of patients had prior carboplatin and 62% had prior cisplatin. In the BSC-alone arm, 26% of patients had prior carboplatin and 51% had prior cisplatin.
  • The arm receiving HYCAMTIN capsules with BSC showed a statistically significant improvement in OS compared with the BSC-alone arm (Log-rank P = 0.0104). Efficacy results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 1.
