1) Temozolomide is an alkylating agent recommended for the adjuvant treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) along with radiation therapy.
2) A phase III trial showed that patients with GBM who received temozolomide concomitantly with radiation therapy and as maintenance therapy had improved progression-free survival and overall survival compared to radiation therapy alone.
3) The mechanism of action of temozolomide involves its metabolic activation to the reactive compound MTIC, which methylates guanine residues in DNA and inhibits DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis.

1) Around 60-70% of breast cancer patients have estrogen receptor positive tumors, making them candidates for hormonal therapy which has been shown to improve survival rates.
2) Tamoxifen is the standard adjuvant hormonal therapy and has been shown to reduce breast cancer recurrence rates by 24-43% and mortality by 14-23% depending on duration of therapy.
3) Aromatase inhibitors like letrozole and anastrazole are also used as adjuvant therapy and have been shown in trials to further reduce recurrence rates compared to tamoxifen alone.
Tramadol is a centrally-acting analgesic with a dual mechanism of action, binding weakly to μ-opioid receptors and inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. It has fewer side effects than other opioids like morphine and a lower risk of abuse and dependence. Tramadol is effective for moderate to moderately severe pain and does not affect the prostaglandin cycle like NSAIDs. While less potent than morphine, tramadol has a better side effect profile and safety margin at therapeutic doses.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

b
: TMZ is to be discontinued if:
- dose level -1 (100 mg/m2
) still results in
unacceptable toxicity
- the same Grade 3 non-haematological toxicity
(except for alopecia, nausea, vomiting) recurs
after dose reduction.
Adult and paediatric patients 3 years of age or
older with recurrent or progressive malignant
glioma
A treatment cycle comprises 28 days. In patients
previously untreated with chemotherapy, TMZ
is administered orally at a dose of 200
mg/m2
once daily for the first 5 days followed
by a 23 day treatment interruption (total of 28
days). In patients previously treated with
chemotherapy, the initial dose is 150
mg/m2
once daily, to be increased in the second
cycle to 200 mg/m2
once daily, for 5 days if
there is no haematological toxicity (see section
4.4)
Special populations
Paediatric population
In patients 3 years of age or older, TMZ is only
to be used in recurrent or progressive malignant
glioma. Experience in these children is very
limited (see sections 4.4 and 5.1). The safety and
efficacy of TMZ in children under the age of 3
years have not been established. No data are
available.
Patients with hepatic or renal impairment
The pharmacokinetics of TMZ were comparable
in patients with normal hepatic function and in
those with mild or moderate hepatic impairment.
No data are available on the administration of
TMZ in patients with severe hepatic impairment
(Child's Class C) or with renal impairment.
Based on the pharmacokinetic properties of
TMZ, it is unlikely that dose reductions are
required in patients with severe hepatic
impairment or any degree of renal impairment.
However, caution should be exercised when
TMZ is administered in these patients.
Elderly patients
Based on a population pharmacokinetic analysis
in patients 19-78 years of age, clearance of TMZ
is not affected by age. However, elderly patients
(> 70 years of age) appear to be at increased risk
of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia (see
section 4.4).
Method of administration
Temozolomide should be administered in the
fasting state.
The capsules must be swallowed whole with a
glass of water and must not be opened or
chewed.
If vomiting occurs after the dose is administered,
a second dose should not be administered that
day.
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to
any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
Hypersensitivity to dacarbazine (DTIC).
Severe myelosuppression (see section 4.4).
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Opportunistic infections and reactivation of
infections
Opportunistic infections (such as Pneumocystis
jirovecii pneumonia) and reactivation of
infections (such as HBV, CMV) have been
observed during the treatment with TMZ (see
section 4.8).
Pneumocystis jiroveciipneumonia
Patients who received concomitant TMZ and RT
in a pilot trial for the prolonged 42-day schedule
were shown to be at particular risk for
developing Pneumocystis jiroveciipneumonia
(PCP). Thus, prophylaxis against PCP is
required for all patients receiving concomitant
TMZ and RT for the 42-day regimen (with a
maximum of 49 days) regardless of lymphocyte
count. If lymphopenia occurs, they are to
continue the prophylaxis until recovery of
lymphopenia to grade ≤ 1.
There may be a higher occurrence of PCP when
TMZ is administered during a longer dosing
regimen. However, all patients receiving TMZ,
particularly patients receiving steroids, should
be observed closely for the development of PCP,
regardless of the regimen. Cases of fatal

respiratory failure have been reported in patients
using TMZ, in particular in combination with
dexamethasone or other steroids.
Hepatitis B virus
Hepatitis due to hepatitis B virus (HBV)
reactivation, in some cases resulting in death,
has been reported. Experts in liver disease
should be consulted before treatment is initiated
in patients with positive hepatitis B serology
(including those with active disease). During
treatment patients should be monitored and
managed appropriately.
Hepatotoxicity
Hepatic injury, including fatal hepatic failure,
has been reported in patients treated with TMZ
(see section 4.8). Baseline liver function tests
should be performed prior to treatment initiation.
If abnormal, physicians should assess the
benefit/risk prior to initiating temozolomide
including the potential for fatal hepatic failure.
For patients on a 42 day treatment cycle liver
function tests should be repeated midway during
this cycle. For all patients, liver function tests
should be checked after each treatment cycle.
For patients with significant liver function
abnormalities, physicians should assess the
benefit/risk of continuing treatment. Liver
toxicity may occur several weeks or more after
the last treatment with temozolomide.
Meningoencephalitis herpetic
In post-marketing cases, meningoencephalitis
herpetic (including fatal cases) has been
observed in patients receiving TMZ in
combination with radiotherapy, including cases
of concomitant steroids administration.
Malignancies
Cases of myelodysplastic syndrome and
secondary malignancies, including myeloid
leukaemia, have also been reported very rarely
(see section 4.8).
Anti-emetic therapy
Nausea and vomiting are very commonly
associated with TMZ.
Anti-emetic therapy may be administered prior
to or following administration of TMZ.
Adult patients with newly-diagnosed
glioblastoma multiforme
Anti-emetic prophylaxis is recommended prior
to the initial dose of concomitant phase and it is
strongly recommended during the monotherapy
phase.
Patients with recurrent or progressive
malignant glioma
Patients who have experienced severe (Grade 3
or 4) vomiting in previous treatment cycles may
require anti-emetic therapy.
Laboratory parameters
Patients treated with TMZ may experience
myelosuppression, including prolonged
pancytopenia, which may result in aplastic
anaemia, which in some cases has resulted in a
fatal outcome. In some cases, exposure to
concomitant medicinal products associated with
aplastic anaemia, including carbamazepine,
phenytoin, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim,
complicates assessment. Prior to dosing, the
following laboratory parameters must be met:
ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109
/l and platelet count ≥ 100 x
109
/l. A complete blood count should be
obtained on Day 22 (21 days after the first dose)
or within 48 hours of that day, and weekly until
ANC > 1.5 x 109
/l and platelet count > 100 x
109
/l. If ANC falls to < 1.0 x 109
/l or the platelet
count is < 50 x 109
/l during any cycle, the next
cycle should be reduced one dose level (see
section 4.2). Dose levels include 100 mg/m2
,
150 mg/m2
, and 200 mg/m2
. The lowest
recommended dose is 100 mg/m2
.
Paediatric population
There is no clinical experience with use of TMZ
in children under the age of 3 years. Experience
in older children and adolescents is very limited
(see sections 4.2 and 5.1).
Elderly patients (> 70 years of age)
Elderly patients appear to be at increased risk of
neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, compared
with younger patients. Therefore, special care
should be taken when TMZ is administered in
elderly patients.

Men being treated with TMZ should be advised
not to father a child up to 6 months after
receiving the last dose and to seek advice on
cryoconservation of sperm prior to treatment
(see section 4.6).
Lactose
This medicinal product contains lactose. Patients
with rare hereditary problems of galactose
intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or
glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take
this medicine.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products
and other forms of interaction
In a separate phase I study, administration of
TMZ with ranitidine did not result in alterations
in the extent of absorption of temozolomide or
the exposure to its active metabolite
monomethyl triazenoimidazole carboxamide
(MTIC).
Administration of TMZ with food resulted in a
33 % decrease in Cmax and a 9 % decrease in
area under the curve (AUC).
As it cannot be excluded that the change in
Cmax is clinically significant, Temozolomide
should be administered without food.
Based on an analysis of population
pharmacokinetics in phase II trials, co-
administration of dexamethasone,
prochlorperazine, phenytoin, carbamazepine,
ondansetron, H2 receptor antagonists, or
phenobarbital did not alter the clearance of
TMZ. Co-administration with valproic acid was
associated with a small but statistically
significant decrease in clearance of TMZ.
No studies have been conducted to determine the
effect of TMZ on the metabolism or elimination
of other medicinal products. However, since
TMZ does not undergo hepatic metabolism and
exhibits low protein binding, it is unlikely that it
would affect the pharmacokinetics of other
medicinal products (see section 5.2).
Use of TMZ in combination with other
myelosuppressive agents may increase the
likelihood of myelosuppression.
Paediatric population
Interaction studies have only been performed in
adults.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Women of childbearing potential
Women of childbearing potential should be
advised to use effective contraception to avoid
pregnancy while they are receiving TMZ.
Pregnancy
There are no data in pregnant women. In
preclinical studies in rats and rabbits receiving
150 mg/m2
TMZ, teratogenicity and/or foetal
toxicity were demonstrated (see section 5.3).
Temozolomide should not be administered to
pregnant women. If use during pregnancy must
be considered, the patient should be apprised of
the potential risk to the foetus.
Breast-feeding
It is not known whether TMZ is excreted in
human milk; thus, breast-feeding should be
discontinued while receiving treatment with
TMZ.
Male fertility
TMZ can have genotoxic effects. Therefore,
men being treated with it should be advised not
to father a child up to 6 months after receiving
the last dose and to seek advice on
cryoconservation of sperm prior to treatment,
because of the possibility of irreversible
infertility due to therapy with TMZ.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use
machines
TMZ has minor influence on the ability to drive
and use machines due to fatigue and somnolence
(see section 4.8).
4.8 Undesirable effects
Summary of the safety profile
In patients treated with TMZ, whether used in
combination with RT or as monotherapy
following RT for newly-diagnosed glioblastoma
multiforme, or as monotherapy in patients with
recurrent or progressive glioma, the reported
very common adverse reactions were similar:
nausea, vomiting, constipation, anorexia,
headache and fatigue. Convulsions were
reported very commonly in the newly-diagnosed

glioblastoma multiforme patients receiving
monotherapy, and rash was reported very
commonly in newly-diagnosed glioblastoma
multiforme patients receiving TMZ concurrent
with RT and also as monotherapy, and
commonly in recurrent glioma. Most
haematologic adverse reactions were reported
commonly or very commonly in both indications
(Tables 4 and 5), the frequency of grade 3-4
laboratory findings is presented after each table.
Tabulated list of adverse reactions
In the tables undesirable effects are classified
according to System Organ Class and frequency.
Frequency groupings are defined according to
the following convention: very common (≥
1/10); common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10); uncommon
(≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100); Rare (≥1/10,000 to
<1/1,000); Very rare (<1/10,000). Within each
frequency grouping, undesirable effects are
presented in order of decreasing seriousness.

Laboratory results
Myelosuppression (neutropenia and
thrombocytopenia), which is known dose-
limiting toxicity for most cytotoxic agents,
including TMZ, was observed. When laboratory
abnormalities and adverse events were combined
across concomitant and monotherapy treatment
phases, Grade 3 or Grade 4 neutrophil
abnormalities including neutropenic events were
observed in 8 % of the patients. Grade 3 or
Grade 4 thrombocyte abnormalities, including
thrombocytopenic events were observed in 14 %
of the patients who received TMZ.
Recurrent or progressive malignant glioma
In clinical trials, the most frequently occurring
treatment-related undesirable effects were
gastrointestinal disorders, specifically nausea
(43 %) and vomiting (36 %). These reactions
were usually Grade 1 or 2 (0-5 episodes of
vomiting in 24 hours) and were either self-
limiting or readily controlled with standard anti-
emetic therapy. The incidence of severe nausea
and vomiting was 4 %.

Laboratory results
Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia
occurred in 19 % and 17 % respectively, of
patients treated for malignant glioma. This led to
hospitalisation and/or discontinuation of TMZ in
8 % and 4 %, respectively. Myelosuppression
was predictable (usually within the first few
cycles, with the nadir between Day 21 and Day
28), and recovery was rapid, usually within 1-2
weeks. No evidence of cumulative
myelosuppression was observed. The presence
of thrombocytopenia may increase the risk of
bleeding, and the presence of neutropenia or
leukopenia may increase the risk of infection.
Other special populations
Gender
In a population pharmacokinetics analysis of
clinical trial experience there were 101 female
and 169 male subjects for whom nadir
neutrophil counts were available and 110 female
and 174 male subjects for whom nadir platelet
counts were available. There were higher rates
of Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC < 0.5 x 109
/l), 12
% vs 5 %, and thrombocytopenia (< 20 x 109
/l ),
9 % vs 3 %, in women vs men in the first cycle
of therapy. In a 400 subject recurrent glioma
data set, Grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 8 % of
female vs 4 % of male subjects and Grade 4
thrombocytopenia in 8 % of female vs 3 % of
male subjects in the first cycle of therapy. In a
study of 288 subjects with newly-diagnosed
glioblastoma multiforme, Grade 4 neutropenia
occurred in 3 % of female vs 0 % of male
subjects and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia in 1 %
of female vs 0 % of male subjects in the first
cycle of therapy.
Paediatric population
Oral TMZ has been studied in paediatric patients
(age 3-18 years) with recurrent brainstem glioma
or recurrent high grade astrocytoma, in a
regimen administered daily for 5 days every 28
days. Although the data is limited, tolerance in
children is expected to be the same as in adults.
The safety of TMZ in children under the age of
3 years has not been established.
Post-marketing experience
The following additional serious adverse
reactions have been identified during post-
marketing exposure:

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after
authorisation of the medicinal product is
important. It allows continued monitoring of the
benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product.
4.9 Overdose
Doses of 500, 750, 1,000, and 1,250
mg/m2
(total dose per cycle over 5 days) have
been evaluated clinically in patients. Dose-
limiting toxicity was haematological and was
reported with any dose but is expected to be
more severe at higher doses. An overdose of
10,000 mg (total dose in a single cycle, over 5
days) was taken by one patient and the adverse
reactions reported were pancytopenia, pyrexia,
multiorgan failure and death. There are reports
of patients who have taken the recommended
dose for more than 5 days of treatment (up to 64
days) with adverse events reported including

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL
PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antineoplastic
agents, other alkylating agents.
Mechanism of action
Temozolomide is a triazene, which undergoes
rapid chemical conversion at physiologic pH to
the active monomethyl triazenoimidazole
carboxamide (MTIC). The cytotoxicity of MTIC
is thought to be due primarily to alkylation at the
O6
position of guanine with additional alkylation
also occurring at the N7
position. Cytotoxic
lesions that develop subsequently are thought to
involve aberrant repair of the methyl adduct.
Clinical efficacy and safety
Newly-diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme
A total of 573 patients were randomised to
receive either TMZ + RT (n=287) or RT alone
(n=286). Patients in the TMZ + RT arm received
concomitant TMZ (75 mg/m2
) once daily,
starting the first day of RT until the last day of
RT, for 42 days (with a maximum of 49 days).
This was followed by monotherapy TMZ (150-
200 mg/m2
) on Days 1-5 of every 28-day cycle
for up to 6 cycles, starting 4 weeks after the end
of RT. Patients in the control arm received RT
only. Pneumocystis jiroveciipneumonia (PCP)
prophylaxis was required during RT and
combined TMZ therapy.
TMZ was administered as salvage therapy in the
follow-up phase in 161 patients of the 282 (57
%) in the RT alone arm, and 62 patients of the
277 (22 %) in the TMZ + RT arm.
The hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival was
1.59 (95 % CI for HR=1.33-1.91) with a log-
rank p < 0.0001 in favour of the TMZ arm. The
estimated probability of surviving 2 years or
more (26 % vs 10 %) is higher for the RT +
TMZ arm. The addition of concomitant TMZ to

RT, followed by TMZ monotherapy in the
treatment of patients with newly-diagnosed
glioblastoma multiforme demonstrated a
statistically significant improvement in overall
survival (OS) compared with RT alone (Figure
1).
Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier curves for overall
survival (intent-to-treat population)
The results from the trial were not consistent in
the subgroup of patients with a poor
performance status (WHO PS=2, n=70), where
overall survival and time to progression were
similar in both arms.
However, no unacceptable risks appear to be
present in this patient group.
Recurrent or progressive malignant glioma
Data on clinical efficacy in patients with
glioblastoma multiforme (Karnofsky
performance status [KPS] ≥ 70), progressive or
recurrent after surgery and RT, were based on
two clinical trials with oral TMZ. One was a
non-comparative trial in 138 patients (29 %
received prior chemotherapy), and the other was
a randomised active-controlled trial of
TMZ vs procarbazine in a total of 225 patients
(67 % received prior treatment with nitrosourea
based chemotherapy). In both trials, the primary
endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS)
defined by MRI scans or neurological
worsening. In the noncomparative trial, the PFS
at 6 months was 19 %, the median progression-
free survival was 2.1 months, and the median
overall survival 5.4 months. The objective
response rate (ORR) based on MRI scans was 8
%.
In the randomised active-controlled trial, the
PFS at 6 months was significantly greater for
TMZ than for procarbazine (21 % vs 8 %,
respectively – chi-square p=0.008) with median
PFS of 2.89 and 1.88 months respectively (log
rank p=0.0063). The median survival was 7.34
and 5.66 months for TMZ and procarbazine,
respectively (log rank p=0.33). At 6 months, the
fraction of surviving patients was significantly
higher in the TMZ arm (60 %) compared with
the procarbazine arm (44 %) (chi-square
p=0.019). In patients with prior chemotherapy a
benefit was indicated in those with a KPS ≥ 80.
Data on time to worsening of neurological status
favoured TMZ over procarbazine as did data on
time to worsening of performance status
(decrease to a KPS of < 70 or a decrease by at
least 30 points). The median times to
progression in these endpoints ranged from 0.7
to 2.1 months longer for TMZ than for
procarbazine (log rank p=< 0.01 to 0.03).
Recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma
In a multicentre, prospective phase II trial
evaluating the safety and efficacy of oral TMZ
in the treatment of patients with anaplastic
astrocytoma at first relapse, the 6 month PFS
was 46 %. The median PFS was 5.4 months.
Median overall survival was 14.6 months.
Response rate, based on the central reviewer
assessment, was 35 % (13 CR and 43 PR) for
the intent-to-treat population (ITT) n=162. In 43
patients stable disease was reported. The 6-
month event-free survival for the ITT population
was 44 % with a median event-free survival of
4.6 months, which was similar to the results for
the progression-free survival. For the eligible
histology population, the efficacy results were
similar. Achieving a radiological objective
response or maintaining progression-free status
was strongly associated with maintained or
improved quality of life.
Paediatric population
Oral TMZ has been studied in paediatric patients
(age 3-18 years) with recurrent brainstem glioma
or recurrent high grade astrocytoma, in a
regimen administered daily for 5 days every 28
days. Tolerance to TMZ is similar to adults.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
TMZ is spontaneously hydrolyzed at physiologic
pH primarily to the active species, 3-methyl-
(triazen-1-yl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (MTIC).
MTIC is spontaneously hydrolyzed to 5-amino-
imidazole-4-carboxamide (AIC), a known
intermediate in purine and nucleic acid
biosynthesis, and to methylhydrazine, which is
believed to be the active alkylating species. The
cytotoxicity of MTIC is thought to be primarily
due to alkylation of DNA mainly at the O6
and
N7
positions of guanine. Relative to the AUC of
TMZ, the exposure to MTIC and AIC is ~ 2.4 %
and 23 %, respectively. In vivo, the t1/2 of
MTIC was similar to that of TMZ, 1.8 hr.
Absorption
After oral administration to adult patients, TMZ
is absorbed rapidly, with peak concentrations
reached as early as 20 minutes post-
administration (mean time between 0.5 and 1.5
hours). After oral administration of 14
C-labelled
TMZ, mean faecal excretion of 14
C over 7 days
post-dose was 0.8 % indicating complete
absorption.
Distribution
TMZ demonstrates low protein binding (10 % to
20 %), and thus it is not expected to interact with
highly protein-bound substances.
PET studies in humans and preclinical data
suggest that TMZ crosses the blood-brain barrier
rapidly and is present in the CSF. CSF
penetration was confirmed in one patient; CSF
exposure based on AUC of TMZ was
approximately 30 % of that in plasma, which is
consistent with animal data.
Elimination
The half-life (t1/2) in plasma is approximately 1.8
hours. The major route of 14
C elimination is
renal. Following oral administration,
approximately 5 % to 10 % of the dose is
recovered unchanged in the urine over 24 hours,
and the remainder excreted as temozolomide
acid, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AIC) or
unidentified polar metabolites.
Plasma concentrations increase in a dose-related
manner. Plasma clearance, volume of
distribution and half-life are independent of
dose.
Special populations
Analysis of population-based pharmacokinetics
of TMZ revealed that plasma TMZ clearance
was independent of age, renal function or
tobacco use. In a separate pharmacokinetic
study, plasma pharmacokinetic profiles in
patients with mild to moderate hepatic
impairment were similar to those observed in
patients with normal hepatic function.
Paediatric patients had a higher AUC than adult
patients; however, the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD) was 1,000 mg/m2
per cycle both in
children and in adults.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
Single-cycle (5-day dosing, 23 days non-
treatment), 3- and 6-cycle toxicity studies were
conducted in rats and dogs. The primary targets
of toxicity included the bone marrow,
lymphoreticular system, testes, the
gastrointestinal tract and, at higher doses, which
were lethal to 60 % to 100 % of rats and dogs
tested, degeneration of the retina occurred. Most
of the toxicity showed evidence of reversibility,
except for adverse events on the male
reproductive system and retinal degeneration.
However, because the doses implicated in retinal
degeneration were in the lethal dose range, and
no comparable effect has been observed in
clinical studies, this finding was not considered
to have clinical relevance.
TMZ is an embryotoxic, teratogenic and
genotoxic alkylating agent. TMZ is more toxic
to the rat and dog than to humans, and the
clinical dose approximates the minimum lethal
dose in rats and dogs. Dose-related reductions in
leukocytes and platelets appear to be sensitive
indicators of toxicity. A variety of neoplasms,
including mammary carcinomas,
keratocanthoma of the skin and basal cell
adenoma were observed in the 6-cycle rat study
while no tumours or pre-neoplastic changes
were evident in dog studies. Rats appear to be
particularly sensitive to oncogenic effects of
TMZ, with the occurrence of first tumours
within 3 months of initiating dosing. This
