Black Box Warning

WARNING
See full prescribing information for complete Boxed Warning.
Mitomycin should be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Appropriate management of therapy and complications is possible only when adequate diagnostic and treatment facilities are readily available.

Bone marrow suppression: Notably thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, which may contribute to overwhelming infections in an already compromised patient, is the most common and severe of the toxic effects of mitomycin.

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS): A serious complication of chemotherapy, consisting primarily of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and irreversible renal failure has been reported in patients receiving systemic mitomycin. The syndrome may occur at any time during systemic therapy with mitomycin as a single agent or in combination with other cytotoxic drugs, however, most cases occur at doses ≥60 mg of mitomycin. Blood product transfusion may exacerbate the symptoms associated with this syndrome.

The incidence of the syndrome has not been defined.

Overview

Mitomycin (injection) is an Antibiotic that is FDA approved for the treatment of disseminated adenocarcinoma of the stomach or pancreas in proven combinations with other approved chemotherapeutic agents and as palliative treatment when other modalities have failed.. There is a Black Box Warning for this drug as shown here. Common adverse reactions include Loss of appetite, Nausea and vomiting,.

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Stomach and Pancreas Adenocarcinoma

Warnings

WARNING
See full prescribing information for complete Boxed Warning.
Mitomycin should be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Appropriate management of therapy and complications is possible only when adequate diagnostic and treatment facilities are readily available.

Bone marrow suppression: Notably thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, which may contribute to overwhelming infections in an already compromised patient, is the most common and severe of the toxic effects of mitomycin.

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS): A serious complication of chemotherapy, consisting primarily of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and irreversible renal failure has been reported in patients receiving systemic mitomycin. The syndrome may occur at any time during systemic therapy with mitomycin as a single agent or in combination with other cytotoxic drugs, however, most cases occur at doses ≥60 mg of mitomycin. Blood product transfusion may exacerbate the symptoms associated with this syndrome.

The incidence of the syndrome has not been defined.

Patients being treated with mitomycin must be observed carefully and frequently during and after therapy.

  • Patients should be advised of the potential toxicity of this drug, particularly bone marrow suppression.
  • Deaths have been reported due to septicemia as a result of leukopenia due to the drug.
  • Patients receiving mitomycin should be observed for evidence of renal toxicity.
  • Mitomycin should not be given to patients with a serum creatinine greater than 1.7 mg percent.

Adverse Reactions

Clinical Trials Experience

Bone Marrow Toxicity

  • This was the most common and most serious toxicity, occurring in 605 of 937 patients (64.4%).
  • Thrombocytopenia and/or leukopenia may occur anytime within 8 weeks after onset of therapy with an average time of 4 weeks.
  • Recovery after cessation of therapy was within 10 weeks.
  • About 25% of the leukopenic or thrombocytopenic episodes did not recover.
  • Mitomycin produces cumulative myelosuppression.

Integument and Mucous Membrane Toxicity

  • This has occurred in approximately 4% of patients treated with mitomycin. *Cellulitis at the injection site has been reported and is occasionally severe.
  • Stomatitis and alopecia also occur frequently.
  • Rashes are rarely reported.
  • The most important dermatological problem with this drug, however, is the necrosis and consequent sloughing of tissue which results if the drug is extravasated during injection.
  • Extravasation may occur with or without an accompanying stinging or burning sensation and even if there is adequate blood return when the injection needle is aspirated.
  • There have been reports of delayed erythema and/or ulceration occurring either at or distant from the injection site, weeks to months after mitomycin, even when no obvious evidence of extravasation was observed during administration.
  • Skin grafting has been required in some of the cases.
  • Elderly patients may be more susceptible than younger patients to injection site reactions.

Renal Toxicity

  • 2% of 1,281 patients demonstrated a statistically significant rise in creatinine.
  • There appeared to be no correlation between total dose administered or duration of therapy and the degree of renal impairment.

Pulmonary Toxicity

  • This has occurred infrequently but can be severe and may be life-threatening. *Dyspnea with a nonproductive cough and radiographic evidence of pulmonary infiltrates may be indicative of mitomycin-induced pulmonary toxicity.
  • If other etiologies are eliminated, mitomycin therapy should be discontinued. *Steroids have been employed as treatment of this toxicity, but the therapeutic value has not been determined.
  • A few cases of adult respiratory distress syndrome have been reported in patients receiving mitomycin in combination with other chemotherapy and maintained at FlO 2 concentrations greater than 50% perioperatively.

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)

  • This serious complication of chemotherapy, consisting primarily of microangiopathic hemolytic anemi (hematocrit ≤25%), thrombocytopenia (≤100,000/mm 3), and irreversible renal failure (serum creatinine ≥1.6 mg/dL) has been reported in patients receiving systemic mitomycin.
  • Microangiopathic hemolysis with fragmented red blood cells on peripheral blood smears has occurred in 98% of patients with the syndrome.
  • Other less frequent complications of the syndrome may include pulmonary edema (65%), neurologic abnormalities (16%), and hypertension.
  • Exacerbation of the symptoms associated with HUS has been reported in some patients receiving blood product transfusions.
  • A high mortality rate (52%) has been associated with this syndrome.
  • The syndrome may occur at any time during systemic therapy with mitomycin as a single agent or in combination with other cytotoxic drugs.
  • Less frequently, HUS has also been reported in patients receiving combinations of cytotoxic drugs not including mitomycin.
  • Of 83 patients studied, 72 developed the syndrome at total doses exceeding 60 mg of mitomycin.
  • Consequently, patients receiving ≥60 mg of mitomycin should be monitored closely for unexplained anemia with fragmented cells on peripheral blood smear, thrombocytopenia, and decreased renal function.
  • The incidence of the syndrome has not been defined.
  • Therapy for the syndrome is investigational.

Cardiac Toxicity

  • These did not appear to be dose related and were not unequivocally drug related.
  • They may have been due to the primary or metastatic disease processes. *Bladder fibrosis/contraction has been reported with intravesical administration
