Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We examined the possibility of continuing oxazaphosphorine therapy in patients with previously documented cyclophosphamide- or ifosfamide-induced hematuria by concomitant use of the uroprotective agent, mesna. Twenty-six patients with oxazaphosphorine-induced hematuria received additional cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide with mesna. Twelve, who had previously experienced hematuria with ifosfamide, received a median of 3.5 more cycles of ifosfamide/mesna. One patient developed further hematuria (grade 1). Of seven patients who experienced acute hematuria with cyclophosphamide, one experienced further hematuria after an additional course of cyclophosphamide with mesna, but none of the other six patients developed further hematuria when administered either cyclophosphamide/mesna (two) or ifosfamide/mesna (four). Seven patients who had chronic cyclophosphamide-induced hematuria had further oxazaphosphorine with mesna without worsening of their hematuria. Mesna is an effective uroprotective agent that prevents recurrent acute hemorrhagic cystitis, or worsening of chronic hemorrhagic cystitis, in patients receiving further oxazaphosphorine after previous ifosfamide- or cyclophosphamide-induced hematuria.
