CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Significant
tumour
response
to
Hydrea
(
hydroxycarbamide
)
has
been
demonstrated
in
chronic
myelocytic leukaemia (pre-treatment phase and palliative care) and
recurrent metastatic or inoperable
carcinoma of the ovary. Hydrea used concomitantly with irradiation
therapy is intended for use in the
local control of primary squamous cell (epidermoid) carcinomas of the
head and neck, excluding the
lip, and carcinoma of the cervix.
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Because of the rarity of carcinoma of the ovary, and carcinomas of the
head and neck in children, dosage
regimens have not been established. All dosage should be based on the
patient's actual or ideal weight,
whichever is less.
Elderly patients may require a lower dose regimen.
Concurrent use of hydroxycarbamide with other myelosuppressive agents
may require adjustments of
dosages.
SOLID TUMOURS:
_INTERMITTENT THERAPY: _
80 mg/kg administered orally as a
_single_
dose every
_third_
day.
_CONTINUOUS THERAPY: _
20 to 30 mg/kg administered orally as a
_single_
dose
_daily_
.
The intermittent dosage schedule offers the advantage of reduced
toxicity since patients on this dosage
regimen have rarely required complete discontinuance of therapy
because of toxicity.
_CONCOMITANT THERAPY WITH IRRADIATION: (CARCINOMA OF THE HEAD AND
NECK) _
80 mg/kg administered orally as a
_single_
dose every
_third_
day.
Administration of Hydrea (hydroxycarbamide) should be begun at least
seven days before initiation of
irradiation and continued during radiotherapy as well as indefinitely
afterwards provided that the patient
may
