Paclitaxel pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Abstract:

:Paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) displays nonlinear pharmacokinetics in humans. Both peak plasma paclitaxel concentrations and areas under the curve (AUCs) of the concentration versus time profiles will change disproportionately to changes in dose. Models that accurately describe the plasma paclitaxel profile contain two separate saturable processes, both described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Pharmacokinetic models using only linear components ultimately fail to describe adequately the disposition of paclitaxel in the body. The major toxicity of paclitaxel, neutropenia, appears to be related to the duration of time that plasma paclitaxel concentrations are at or above a threshold value. This relationship is well described by a sigmoid-Emax (maximum effect) model. Neutropenia is not directly related to either peak paclitaxel plasma concentration or to paclitaxel areas under the curve. A relationship between therapeutic efficacy and paclitaxel disposition is, as yet, undefined.

  • The role of the liposomal anthracyclines and other systemic therapies in the management of advanced breast cancer.

    abstract::For patients whose breast cancers are not responsive to endocrine therapy, there are a large number of cytotoxic drugs that will induce a response. In spite of the introduction of new, very active drugs such as the taxanes, vinorelbine, capecitabine, gemcitabine, and trastuzumab, the anthracyclines are still as active...
