Para que é usado

Como funciona

Nelarabine is a prodrug of ara-G, a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor. It is demethylated by ADA to ara-G and converted to the active triphosphate ara-GTP, which is incorporated into DNA, inhibiting DNA synthesis and causing cell death.

Dose habitual em adultos (resumo da bula)

Relapsed or refractory T-ALL/T-LBL: 1,500 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion over 2 hours on Days 1, 3, and 5, repeated every 21 days; administer undiluted

Gravidez e amamentação

Gravidez
Unsafe Can cause fetal harm: it was teratogenic in rabbits at doses below the human dose; human data are too limited. Check pregnancy status before starting; women should use effective contraception during treatment and men should use condoms during and for 3 months after.
Amamentação
Unsafe No data on milk levels. e-lactancia: incompatible; a small, poorly protein-bound molecule likely to pass into milk. US label: do not breastfeed during treatment because of possible serious infant reactions, such as severe nerve toxicity.
