Consensus Guidelines Strongly Recommend: Act Early With Voraxaze®1

Beyond 48 to 60 hours, life-threatening toxicities and even death may not be preventable. Early and rapid reduction of methotrexate (MTX) concentrations can lower the risk of irreversible damage.1

Consensus guidelines for use recommend administration of Voraxaze® at 48 hours following initiation of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) therapy when MTX concentrations are above 5 μM (2.27 μg/mL) and the serum creatinine is elevated relative to the baseline measurement.1

Voraxaze® Is Included in Multiple NCCN Guidelines2

Over the past 25 years, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has developed guidelines in oncology to document evidence-based, consensus-driven management to ensure that all patients receive treatment that is most likely to lead to optimal outcomes.

Voraxaze® is included in the following guidelines:

  • Central nervous system cancers
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
  • Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
  • B-cell lymphomas
  • T-cell lymphomas
  • Primary cutaneous lymphomas

Guidelines Advise Having 5 Vials of Voraxaze® Readily Available3

  • Expert Consensus Guidelines published in 2018 recommend that all hospitals that provide emergency care should stock 5 vials of Voraxaze®3
  • The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) recommends that all appropriate antidotes should be readily available4
  • Standardized protocols and/or a coupled order should be set in place that permit the emergency administration of all appropriate antidotes used in the facility4
