id="_Carfilzomib_OVERVIEW_">OVERVIEW</h2><div id="Carfilzomib.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Carfilzomib is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor and antineoplastic agent that is used in treatment of refractory multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib is associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations during treatment and has been implicated to rare instances of clinically apparent, acute liver injury some of which have been fatal.</p></div><div id="Carfilzomib.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Carfilzomib (kar filz&#x02019; oh mib) is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of the 26S proteasome, the intracellular complex that degrades proteins involved in cell signaling and cell cycle regulation. Blocking proteasome activity prevents activation of factors involved in cell growth and resistance to chemotherapy induced apoptosis, leading to cancer cell death. Carfilzomib was the second proteasome inhibitor developed as an antineoplastic agent, differing from the initial (bortezomib) in being an irreversible inhibitor and not being metabolized by the CYP 3A4 system. Clinical trials of carfilzomib in patients with multiple myeloma showed at least partial responses in patients who were resistant to other antineoplastic agents including bortezomib. Carfilzomib received accelerated approval for use in the United States in 2012 for therapy of previously treated, refractory or relapsing multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib is available in powdered form in single use vials of 60 mg under the brand name Kyprolis. The typical starting dose is 20 mg per meter-squared per day intravenously for two days each week for 3 weeks, and then in cycles after a rest period. It is typically administered with dexamethasone with or without lenalidomide. Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, anorexia, fatigue, dyspnea, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, anemia peripheral neuropathy, rash and fever. Infusion reactions are not uncommon with the first cycle of carfilzomib and dexamethasone pretreatment is recommended. Other uncommon, but potentially severe side effects include peripheral neuropathy, cardiac and pulmonary toxicity, bone marrow suppression and tumor lysis syndrome.</p></div><div id="Carfilzomib.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In large clinical trials of carfilzomib, elevations in serum aminotransferase levels were common, occurring in 8% to 13% of patients. However, values greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) were uncommon, occurring in 1% to 2% of recipients. In several studies there were reports of clinically apparent liver injury including acute liver failure in patients receiving carfilzomib; however, in most instances multiple concomitant medications were being taken (such as lenalidomide) and the specific role of carfilzomib in causing the liver injury was not always clear. The onset of injury was typically during the first cycle of therapy. The clinical features and pattern of injury in clinically apparent cases of liver injury due to carfilzomib have not been described in the published literature. Hepatotoxicity is listed as a warning in the product label for carfilzomib and monitoring of serum enzymes during treatment is recommended.</p><p>Likelihood score: D (Possible cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Carfilzomib.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanisms of liver injury accounting for serum enzyme elevations and hepatic toxicity during carfilzomib therapy are not known. Carfilzomib is metabolized peripherally by plasma peptidases and only a proportion is metabolized in the liver through the CYP 3A4 pathway. Carfilzomib has minimal effect on CYP 3A4 activity and does not appear to be susceptible to drug-drug interactions with agents that inhibit or induce hepatic CYP 3A4 activity.</p></div><div id="Carfilzomib.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Serum aminotransferase elevations above 5 times the upper limit of normal (if confirmed) should lead to dose reduction or temporary cessation. Clinically apparent liver injury should prompt immediate interruption of carfilzomib therapy. There is little information on cross reactivity in risk for hepatic injury between carfilzomib and other cancer chemotherapeutic agents, including the tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other proteasome inhibitors such as bortezomib.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntineoplasticAgents/?report=reader">Antineoplastic Agents</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/ProteinKinaseInhibit/?report=reader">Protein Kinase Inhibitors</a></p></div></div><div id="Carfilzomib.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Carfilzomib_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Carfilzomib.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
