Efficacy

Voraxaze Lowers Plasma Methotrexate (MTX) Levels by ≥97% in 15 Minutes1

At each post-Voraxaze assessment time point, the median MTX concentration was <0.54 μM, corresponding to a median reduction of ≥97% from pre-Voraxaze measurements.2

Voraxaze® (glucarpidase) reduced plasma MTX concentrations by ≥97% within 15 minutes in all 22 treatment-evaluable patients.1

97% reduction in 15 minutes graph

Reductions in Plasma MTX Concentrations Were Sustained for up to 8 Days1,*

91% (20/22) of patients who received Voraxaze achieved a >95% reduction in plasma MTX concentrations within 15 minutes of administration that lasted for up to 8 days.1

77% (10/13) of patients with MTX levels ≤50 μM who received Voraxaze achieved a reduction of MTX levels to ≤1 μM within 15 minutes of administration that lasted for up to 8 days.1

*Results are from a single-arm, open-label study in 22 treatment-evaluable patients with markedly delayed MTX clearance secondary to acute kidney injury. The primary endpoint of the study was the proportion of patients achieving an MTX plasma concentration of ≤1 μM at 15 minutes that was sustained for up to 8 days following the initial injection.1

Early Administration of Voraxaze May Diminish the Risk for Serious Life-Threatening Toxicity and Even Death3,4

Incidence of Grade 4 toxicity was significantly lower with early administration of Voraxaze.3

77% circle graph
  • Administration of Voraxaze ≤4 days after high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) exposure appeared to protect from the development of toxicity.3
  • Only 14% (9/64) of patients who received early treatment (within 4 days of HDMTX infusion) with Voraxaze experienced Grade 4 toxicity, compared with 55% (6/11) who received later treatment.3

Incidence of mortality was significantly lower with early administration of Voraxaze.4

Incidence of Mortality Was Significantly Lower With Early Administration of Voraxaze
  • Of 476 patients receiving Voraxaze, death occurred in 22% of patients treated after 4 days following HDMTX infusion compared with 10.9% treated within 2 days of HDMTX infusion.4
  • There are no controlled trials comparing Voraxaze plus supportive care to supportive care measures alone in patients with toxic plasma MTX concentrations due to impaired renal function; therefore, there are no data regarding the effect of Voraxaze on survival or toxic death due to MTX. Voraxaze did not prevent fatal MTX toxicity in 3% of patients in the safety population.1
