ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Experienced physician:

It is recommended that dacarbazine be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.

In treatment of each patient, the physician must weigh carefully the possibility of achieving therapeutic benefit against the risk of toxicity.

Bone marrow suppression:

Hemopoietic depression is the most common toxicity with dacarbazine.

Hepatic effects:

Hepatic necrosis has been reported.

Carcinogenic/teratogenic:

Studies have demonstrated this agent to have a carcinogenic and teratogenic effect when used in animals.

Therapeutic Category
  • Antineoplastic Agent, Miscellaneous

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

The onset for leukopenia is ~14 days (range: 10 to 30 days) and the duration is ~1 to 3 weeks. The onset for thrombocytopenia is ~18 days (range: 12 to 30 days) and the duration is ~1 to 3 weeks.

• Extravasation: Dacarbazine is an irritant; local reactions may occur (ESMO/EONS [Pérez Fidalgo 2012]). According to the manufacturer, extravasation may result in tissue damage and severe pain.

• Hepatotoxicity: Hepatic necrosis has been reported with dacarbazine. Hepatotoxicity may be accompanied with hepatic vein thrombosis and hepatocellular necrosis; may be fatal. Hepatotoxicity usually occurs with combination chemotherapy, but may occur with dacarbazine alone.

Hazardous Drugs Handling Considerations

Hazardous agent (NIOSH 2016 [group 1]).

Use appropriate precautions for receiving, handling, storage, preparation, dispensing, transporting, administration, and disposal. Follow NIOSH and USP 800 recommendations and institution-specific policies/procedures for appropriate containment strategy (NIOSH 2016; USP-NF 2020).

Storage/Stability

Store intact vials at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Protect from light. Extended storage information for intact vials at room temperature may be available; contact product manufacturer to obtain current recommendations. According to the manufacturer, the reconstituted solution (in the vial) should be used within 72 hours if refrigerated and 8 hours if at room temperature; however, additional stability data indicates the reconstituted solution may be stable for 24 hours at room temperature (20°C) and 96 hours refrigerated (4°C) when protected from light (El Aatmani 2002). Following dilution for infusion (in D5W or NS), solutions may be stored for up to 24 hours refrigerated (4°C) or for up to 8 hours at normal room conditions (dacarbazine is light sensitive).

Use

Reproductive Considerations

Dacarbazine is a component of the ABVD regimen used for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma; there may be a low risk of amenorrhea and an intermediate risk of azoospermia associated with therapy. Fertility preservation can be discussed prior to therapy (ESMO [Lambertini 2020]; Traila 2018).

Pregnancy Considerations

Teratogenic effects were observed in animal reproduction studies. Outcome data following maternal use of dacarbazine primarily as part of a regimen for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma during pregnancy is available (Avilés 2018; Cotteret 2020; Evens 2013; NTP 2013; Pinnix 2016).

Due to pregnancy-induced physiologic changes, some pharmacokinetic properties of dacarbazine may be altered (Kantrowitz-Gordon 2018).

The European Society for Medical Oncology has published guidelines for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cancer during pregnancy. The guidelines recommend referral to a facility with expertise in cancer during pregnancy and encourage a multidisciplinary team (obstetrician, neonatologist, oncology team). In general, if chemotherapy is indicated, it should be avoided during in the first trimester, there should be a 3-week time period between the last chemotherapy dose and anticipated delivery, and chemotherapy should not be administered beyond week 33 of gestation (ESMO [Peccatori 2013]). An international consensus panel has published guidelines for hematologic malignancies during pregnancy. Dacarbazine is a component of the ABVD regimen, which is used for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma. If treatment cannot be deferred until after delivery in patients with early stage Hodgkin lymphoma, ABVD may be administered safely and effectively in the latter phase of pregnancy (based on limited data); for patients with advanced-stage disease, ABVD can be administered in the second and third trimesters (Lishner 2016).

A long-term observational research study is collecting information about the diagnosis and treatment of cancer during pregnancy. For additional information about the pregnancy and cancer registry or to become a participant, contact Cooper Health (1-877-635-4499).

Monitoring Parameters

CBC with differential (neutrophils, hemoglobin, platelets); LFTs.

Mechanism of Action

Dacarbazine is an alkylating agent which is converted to the active alkylating metabolite MTIC [(methyl-triazene-1-yl)-imidazole-4-carboxamide] via the cytochrome P450 system. The cytotoxic effects of MTIC are manifested through alkylation (methylation) of DNA at the O6, N7 guanine positions which lead to DNA double strand breaks and apoptosis. Dacarbazine is non-cell cycle specific (Marchesi 2007).

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Distribution: Exceeds total body water; suggesting binding to some tissue (probably liver) (Perry 2012)

Metabolism: Extensively hepatic to the active metabolite MTIC [(methyl-triazene-1-yl)-imidazole-4-carboxamide]

Half-life elimination: Biphasic: Initial: 19 minutes, 55 minutes (renal and hepatic dysfunction); Terminal: 5 hours, 7.2 hours (renal and hepatic dysfunction)

Excretion: Urine (~40%; as unchanged drug)
