Expert Guidelines

Consensus Guidelines Recommend Early Use of Voraxaze1

Consensus guidelines for use recommend administration of Voraxaze® (glucarpidase) 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

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

*For MTX doses of 1-8 g/m2 over 24 hours, if MTX concentration is >120 μM or CrCl is greater than 1.5x baseline, continue supportive care and check MTX concentration at 36 hours1. CrCl, creatinine clearance.

Expert Consensus Guidelines Recommend Having 5 Vials of Voraxaze Readily Available2

  • Expert Consensus Guidelines published in 2018 recommend that all hospitals that provide emergency care should stock 5 vials of Voraxaze.2
  • The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) recommends that all appropriate antidotes should be readily available.3
  • Standardized protocols and/or a coupled order should be set in place that permit the emergency administration of all appropriate antidotes used in the facility.3
