Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

Bone marrow suppression: Treosulfan causes severe and prolonged myelosuppression. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is required to prevent potentially fatal complications of the prolonged myelosuppression. Profound myelosuppression with pancytopenia is the desired effect of treosulfan-based conditioning treatment, occurring in all patients. The risk of infection is increased during severe neutropenia. The median duration of neutropenia is 14 to 17.5 days in adults.

• Cardiovascular toxicity: Treosulfan-based conditioning is associated with cardiac arrhythmias (eg, atrial fibrillation, sinus arrhythmia) and rare cardiac failure. Treatment-emergent serious cardiac adverse events (left ventricular systolic dysfunction, myocardial infarction, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, right ventricular dysfunction) have been observed, although may not be attributed to treosulfan. Safety and efficacy have not been established in patients with severe cardiac impairment and left ventricular ejection fraction <40%; these patients were excluded from the clinical study.

• Dermatologic toxicity: An increased incidence of skin disorders (eg, rash, dermatitis) was observed when patients received sodium bicarbonate–containing hydration in the course of treosulfan infusion, which may accelerate the pH-dependent formation of alkylating epoxides. Omit skin creams on the days of chemotherapy.

• Extravasation: Treosulfan is an irritant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to and during infusion. Avoid extravasation.

• GI toxicities: Oral mucositis (including severe events) commonly occurs with treosulfan-based transplant conditioning regimen. Mucositis prophylaxis (eg, topical antimicrobials, barrier protectants, cryotherapy, adequate oral hygiene) is recommended.

• Graft-versus-host disease: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been commonly associated with graft-versus-host disease (acute and chronic).

• Hemorrhage: Epistaxis has been reported.

• Hepatotoxicity: Increases in transaminases, bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and alkaline phosphatase are commonly observed with treosulfan-based conditioning therapy.

• Neurologic toxicity: Treosulfan may cause headache or dizziness. Treatment-emergent serious adverse events such as intracranial hemorrhage and/or syncope have been reported. A case of encephalitis infection and intracranial hemorrhage (as a complication of sepsis) was reported. Advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities, such as operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery.

• Pulmonary toxicity: Dyspnea has occurred with treosulfan. Treatment-emergent serious respiratory adverse events (including respiratory failure, bronchopulmonary hemorrhage, lung infection) have been reported, although only lung infection was considered related to treosulfan. Patients with severe pulmonary impairment were excluded from the clinical study.

• Secondary malignancy: Long-term survival following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been associated with secondary malignancies.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Immunizations: Avoid immunization with live vaccines; may result in severe infection or lack of vaccine response.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

Duration of neutropenia following therapy may be longer in pediatric as compared to adult patients; median duration of neutropenic period was 21 to 24 days in pediatric patients as compared to 14 to 17.5 days in adults. Consider prophylactic or empiric anti-infective treatment (eg, bacterial, viral, fungal).

Seizures have been reported in pediatric patients; one trial reported seizures in 3 patients ≤4 months of age with primary immunodeficiencies following conditioning with treosulfan (Slatter 2017); another trial reported idiopathic epilepsy in a patient 47 months of age (Morillo-Gutierrez 2020). Monitor for signs of neurological adverse reactions, including seizures; consider seizure prophylaxis (Trecondi European Medicines Agency 2019; Trecondyv Canadian product labeling 2021).

Respiratory toxicity (grade 3/4) is more common in infants than older patients (Trecondi European Medicines Agency 2019). Hepatotoxicity is commonly observed in all age groups; associated disorientation/confusion may be more common in children and adolescents (Trecondyv Canadian product labeling 2021).

Diaper dermatitis may occur in infants and young children due to treosulfan excretion in the urine. Frequent diaper changes are required in the 6 to 8 hours following treosulfan infusion.

Reproductive Considerations

Males and females of reproductive potential should use effective contraception during treosulfan treatment and for 6 months after the last treosulfan dose.

Treosulfan may impair fertility. Treosulfan has been associated with ovarian suppression and amenorrhea prior to menopause. Infertility may be permanent in males; sperm cryo-conservation should be considered prior to therapy.

A long-term study followed patients for up to 12 years who received treosulfan as part of the conditioning treatment prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Successful pregnancies and fatherhood were reported (Lazzari 2021).

Pregnancy Considerations

Use is contraindicated during pregnancy. Pregnant caregivers should avoid handling treosulfan.

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if treosulfan is present in breast milk.

According to the manufacturer, breastfeeding should be discontinued during treosulfan treatment.

Monitoring Parameters

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: CBC with differential and platelets (daily until engraftment; frequently until hematopoietic recovery); hepatic function (transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin; daily through post-transplant day 28); renal function (baseline). Assess cardiac function regularly. Monitor infusion site during infusion. Monitor for signs/symptoms of infection, dermatologic toxicity, pulmonary toxicity, hemorrhagic cystitis, and mucositis.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.

Mechanism of Action

Treosulfan is a bifunctional alkylating agent prodrug with cytotoxic activity in hematopoietic stem cells. Treosulfan undergoes spontaneous, pH-dependent conversion into a mono-epoxide intermediate and di-epoxybutan; the epoxides alkylate and cross-link DNA, and are considered responsible for the stem cell depleting, immune-suppressive, and antineoplastic effects.

Distribution: Rapidly distributed to body (with limited blood brain barrier penetration). Vd: Adults: IV: 20 to 47 L.

Metabolism: Converted spontaneously (non-enzymatically) into the active mono-epoxide intermediate and finally to di-epoxybutan.

Half-life elimination: Adults: IV: ~2 hours.

Time to peak, plasma: IV: At the end of the infusion.

Excretion: Urine: IV: 14% to 40% (within 24 hours) as unchanged drug.
