High-dose melphalan has been the drug of choice for preparative regimens for autologous stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma. Propylene-free melphalan (Evomela™) is a newer formulation of melphalan, which incorporates Captisol to produce a stable product upon reconstitution. In addition to avoiding propylene glycol with its' potential side effects, this approach improves the overall stability of reconstituted melphalan and can ensure intended dose delivery. In this paper, we review the published literature regarding this formulation. We focus on its' chemistry, pharmacokinetics and clinically available data for its use in myeloma autologous stem cell transplantation setting.
大剂量美法仑一直是多发性骨髓瘤自体干细胞移植预处理方案的首选药物。无丙二醇美法仑(Evomela™)是美法仑的一种新型制剂,它加入了Captisol以在复溶后产生稳定的产品。除了避免丙二醇及其潜在的副作用外,这种方法还提高了复溶后美法仑的整体稳定性,并能确保准确给药。在本文中,我们回顾了关于该制剂的已发表文献。我们重点关注其化学性质、药代动力学以及在骨髓瘤自体干细胞移植环境中使用的临床可用数据。
