The invention relates to medicine, namely to Oncology and oncidiinae, and can be used to speed up delayed elimination of methotrexate in the treatment of brain tumors in children after high-dose infusions.

Drug antifolate activity - methotrexate (MTX - methotrexate) - violates the metabolism of folic acid by competitive inhibition digidrofolatreduktazy and other enzymes. Standard doses of this medicine is widely used in the treatment of oncological and non-oncological diseases (psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease). Range of tumors, therapy regimens using different dose methotrexate, high, and today, in addition to hematological malignancies, include solid tumors, as osteogenic sarcoma, and brain tumors. When last used dose intensification regimes of chemotherapy methotrexate.

Delayed elimination of methotrexate from plasma is a rare disease, occurring in isolated cases. The half-life of methotrexate is about 6-7 hours with a deviation of from 3 to 17 hours. Considerably longer period of excretion in patients with polyserositis (pleural effusion, ascites). Product is excreted through the kidneys by glomerular filter is tion and secretion in the proximal tubules. About 5-20% of methotrexate and 1-5% 7-hydroxymethotrexate eliminated via the biliary route.

Among the complications of treatment with high-dose methotrexate allocate nephro-, hepato-, gastrointestine and myelotoxicity. The use of MTX leads to death in 6% of cases, 80% of them due to severe myelosuppression and as a consequence, sepsis and hemorrhagic syndrome, the remaining 20% of renal insufficiency. The severity of complications associated with age: the younger the patient, paranoimia toxicity, while in patients older complications occur in the severe and often associated with a fatal outcome.

Infusion of high doses methotrexate became possible after the introduction in ekologicheskuu practice antagonist antifolates leucovorin (calcium folinata). In the majority of treatment programs using high doses methotrexate included calcium folinate as a drug that reduces the toxicity of the latter. In the mechanism of transformation of leucovorin in tetrahydrofolate dihydrotetrazolo, inactivated methotrexate and its metabolite, does not participate, so the process of repair and replication of DNA and RNA with the use of calcium folinata quickly restored.

Dose leucovorin range from 10 mg/m2every 6 h up to 1000 mg/m2every 3 hours Single me the Oia about the modes of introduction of calcium folinata not.

A known way of expediting delayed elimination of methotrexate in the treatment of brain tumors in children after high-dose infusion, including the use of nomograms doses of leucovorin appointed after high doses of methotrexate. (E. Dombrowsky, Jayaraman Century, Narayan M. and J.S. Barrett Evaluating performance of the decision support system to improve methotrexate pharmacotherapy in children and yang adults with cancer // Ther. Drug Monit. - 2011. No. 1. - P. 99-107).

This nomogram difficult to use: on the x-axis and y-projected time after infusion (20, 40, 60 h, and so on) and the concentration of drug in serum (10-8, 10-7, 10-6mol), respectively, values which are not convenient in clinical practice. In addition, it does not take into account the specific mode of methotrexate (dose and duration) and morphological variant of the tumor. Different modes of administration of the drug (dose of 0.5 g/m2when non-Hodgkin lymphoma to 12 g/m2for osteogenic sarcoma, a duration of 4 h for osteogenic sarcoma to 24 h with brain tumors and hematological malignancies), as well as the Genesis and localization of the tumor already predetermine individual clearance of methotrexate and its metabolites.

The technical result of the invention is to optimize individual doses of leucovorin in children with brain tumors, the treatment of which is applied a 24-hour infusion of methotrexate in to the e 5 g/m 2in order to reduce the toxic effects on the body and prevent or reduce the depth and duration of various complications of treatment.

This technical result is achieved by the fact that in the known method the acceleration of delayed elimination of methotrexate in the treatment of brain tumors in children after high-dose infusion by infusion of leucovorin, according to the invention, the dose of leucovorin determined 24 hours after the beginning of the 24-hour infusion of methotrexate and thereafter every 6 hours depending on the concentration of methotrexate in the blood serum and the time elapsed from the start of the 24-hour infusion of methotrexate in a dose of 5 g/m2as follows:

when the concentration of methotrexate in serum ≥151 mol/l 24 hours after beginning infusion dose administration of leucovorin 100 mg/m2through 30-42 hours - 200 mg/m2after 48 hours and more or 2000 mg/m2;

when the concentration of methotrexate 101-150 mol/l 24 hours after start of infusion leucovorin not enter through 30-54 hours after beginning infusion dose leucovorin 200 mg/m2through 60 hours and over - 2000 mg/m2;

when the concentration of methotrexate 21-100 mol/l 24 hours after start of infusion leucovorin not impose, 30 hours after the start of infusion, the dose of leucovorin is 15 mg/m2through 36-66 the aces - 30 mg/m2; after 72 hours and more than 200 mg/m2;

when the concentration of methotrexate 4-20 mol/l after 24-30 hours after the start of infusion leucovorin not enter through 36-66 hours after the beginning of infusion, the dose of leucovorin is 15 mg/m2through 72 hours and more than 30 mg/m2;

when methotrexate concentration of 0.2-3,9 mol/l through 24-42 hours after the start of infusion leucovorin not enter, after 48 hours or more after the start of infusion, the dose of leucovorin is 15 mg/m2,

and leucovorin administered up until the concentration of methotrexate in serum is less than 0,2 mol/L.

As a result of the research was to define the optimal dose leucovorin, administered every 6 hours, depending on the concentration of methotrexate after his 24-hour infusion at a dose of 5 g/m (see table 1).

* after 120 h of observation with delayed elimination of methotrexate dose leucovorin match table for 120 h, the drug is administered up until the concentration of MTX in serum will not be <0,2 mol/L.

Material for the compilation of the table was the information about the concentration of methotrexate in serum obtained after conducting 34 cycles of chemotherapy with methotrexate high doses (from 5 to 12 g/m2) in 13 patients.

Mn is I time, since the beginning of the infusion of high-dose methotrexate, and its concentration in serum at a given hour, you can use table 1 to determine the dose of leucovorin required for inactivation of the drug.

The use of the proposed method to accelerate the excretion of toxic metabolites of methotrexate and the drug, thereby preventing their adverse impact on the child's body, reducing the length of hospitalization and reducing the risk of disability of patients. Comparative analysis of the prototype shows that the use of individual doses of leucovorin, based on the individual values of the concentration of methotrexate - time", it is more practical to use and applicable in children with brain tumors, therapy which used 24-hour infusion of methotrexate in a dose of 5 g/m2.

The invention is illustrated by the image in Fig., where is a diagram of doses of leucovorin (mg/m2) with delayed elimination of methotrexate after his 24-hour infusion at a dose of 5 g/m2in brain tumors, based on the individual profile of the concentration of methotrexate - time", built in accordance with table 1, with the standard (positive) rectangular coordinate system on the plane, on which the abscissa axis in accordance with the selected scale projects the I time, elapsed after the start of infusions of methotrexate at 24 h intervals for 6 h; volume horizontal rectangles represent the range of possible values of the concentration of methotrexate in the blood serum of the patient; on the y-axis projected need individual dose leucovorin, calculated on the surface area, administered every 6 hours.

The method is as follows.

24 hours after the beginning of the 24-hour infusion of methotrexate in a dose of 5 g/m2and then every 6 hours to determine the concentration of methotrexate in serum. On the initial concentration of methotrexate in serum and the time passed from the beginning of the infusion, in accordance with table 1, or a chart (Fig.) determine the individual dose leucovorin, administered every 6 or 3 hours.

For example, if after 30 h after the start of infusions of methotrexate in a dose of 5 g/m2the concentration in the serum was 105 mol/l, the dose of leucovorin in table 1 should be 100 mg/m2every 3 hours or 200 mg/m2entered every 6 hours. The drug is administered up until the concentration of MTX in serum will not be less than 0.2 mol/L. If treatment delayed elimination of methotrexate will be more than 120 hours, the dose of leucovorin correspond to the values for 120 hours.

The invention is illustrated by the following clinical example.

Example. Patient, 6 months, received on the treatment of morphologically verified primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the sellar region of the brain. After suffering ARD mother noted the deterioration of appetite, left-sided ptosis. On the advice of a neurologist and an ophthalmologist performed brain MRI, which showed a mass education of sellar region with supra-procellarum growth, size 17×21×25 mm, nakaplivalsya contrast agent.

Was performed microsurgical intervention using a surgical microscope, intraoperative navigation and neurophysiological studies with intracerebral tumors brain, osteoplastic craniotomy in the left frontal region with calling for the middle line, submontana revision of the Foundation of the anterior and middle cranial fossa, the partial removal of the tumor. Immunohistochemistry: Chromogranin+, CD99+, S100+, NB weakly focal+, Synaptophysin individual cells+, NSE-, GFAP-, Ki67 Express about 45% of the cells.

MRI brain was preserved residual tumor size 20×25 mm, MRI of the cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral spine showed diffuse accumulation of contrast agent in the region of the membranes of the spinal cord.

The level of creatinine in serum and clearance were in before the lah reference values. Specific drug therapy is started as a life-saving program HIT-2000 (branch MET-HIT 2000-BIS4 for primitive neuroectodermal tumors) with a reduction of the doses of drugs. The cycle consisted of vincristine (0.005 mg/kg) and carboplatin (25 mg/kg) on day 1, Vepesid (2 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (65 mg/kg) in 2-3 days, methotrexate (5 g/m2in the 5th day. The estimated dose of methotrexate was 1.8, Before, before and during the administration of MTX was conducted infusion therapy glucose-salt preparations, as well as the alkalinity of the body using a 5% solution of soda (NaHCO4). Infusion, according to the Protocol lasted 24 hours. The water balance was adequate, hourly urine output was 1.6-2.0 ml/kg/h without diuretics. In the control analysis after 24 h the observed high concentration of MTX in serum (522 mol/l), the dose of leucovorin was calculated by table 1.

Monitoring of serum methotrexate was conducted to his values less than 0.5 mol/HP When it reaches this level leucovorin was administered 11 more times every 6 h at the dose of 15 mg/m2.

When using the proposed method, based on the individual values of the concentration of methotrexate-time", was carried out selection of doses of leucovorin for a particular patient with a brain tumor, was able to completely eliminate methotrexate and its products is the products of metabolism.

The proposed method for the acceleration of delayed elimination of methotrexate in the treatment of brain tumors in children after high-dose infusion was used after 11 cycles of chemotherapy with a 24-hour infusion of methotrexate in a dose of 5 g/m24 patients with brain tumors.

The invention allows to choose the optimal individual dose leucovorin in children with brain tumors, the treatment of which is applied a 24-hour infusion of methotrexate in a dose of 5 g/m2, thereby reducing the toxic effects on the body, preventing and reducing various complications of treatment.

The way to accelerate delayed elimination of methotrexate in the treatment of brain tumors in children after high-dose infusion by infusion of leucovorin, wherein the dose of leucovorin determined 24 hours after the beginning of the 24-hour infusion of methotrexate and thereafter every 6 hours depending on the concentration of methotrexate in the blood serum and the time elapsed from the start of the 24-hour infusion of methotrexate in a dose of 5 g/m2as follows:
when the concentration of methotrexate in serum ≥151 mol/l 24 hours after beginning infusion dose administration of leucovorin 100 mg/m2through 30-42 hours - 200 mg/m2after 48 hours and more or 2000 mg/m2;
when the concentration of methotrexate is 101-150 mol/l 24 hours after start of infusion leucovorin not enter, through 30-54 hours after beginning infusion dose leucovorin 200 mg/m2through 60 hours and over - 2000 mg/m2;
when the concentration of methotrexate 21-100 mol/l 24 hours after start of infusion leucovorin not impose, 30 hours after the start of infusion, the dose of leucovorin is 15 mg/m2through 36-66 hours - 30 mg/m2; after 72 hours and more than 200 mg/m2;
when the concentration of methotrexate 4-20 mol/l after 24-30 hours after the start of infusion leucovorin not enter through 36-66 hours after the beginning of infusion, the dose of leucovorin is 15 mg/m2through 72 hours and more than 30 mg/m2;
when methotrexate concentration of 0.2-3,9 mol/l through 24-42 hours after the start of infusion leucovorin not enter, after 48 hours or more after the start of infusion, the dose of leucovorin is 15 mg/m2,
and leucovorin administered up until the concentration of methotrexate in serum is less than 0,2 mol/L.
