The Pharmacist’s Take By · Clinical pharmacist · Written

Thiotepa Injection is an older alkylating chemotherapy drug (it damages DNA so fast-growing cells cannot divide). It has been on the market since about 1959, is available as a generic, and is given by specialist teams for breast, ovarian and superficial bladder cancers, for fluid buildup caused by cancer, and to prepare children with class 3 beta-thalassemia for a stem cell transplant. It is a tough drug, and beyond low blood counts, people most often notice mouth sores, diarrhea and rash. Its boxed warning is for severe bone marrow suppression, which can cause serious or fatal infection or bleeding, plus a possible risk of causing cancer, so blood counts are watched and fever, bleeding, skin changes or confusion should be reported promptly.

Clinical pearls

  • Bathe at least twice daily through 48 hours after each dose, because thiotepa passes out through the skin.
  • Itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, rifampin and phenytoin should be avoided, since they can change thiotepa’s effect and toxicity.
  • Women should avoid pregnancy for 6 months after the last dose, and men need effective contraception for 1 year after.
  • Live or weakened vaccines must wait until the immune effects of treatment have fully resolved.
⚠️ FDA Boxed Warning — the FDA’s strongest safety alert ▾

Thiotepa can severely suppress the bone marrow, which can lead to serious or even fatal infection or bleeding. High doses can wipe out the marrow's ability to make blood cells. A stem cell transplant is then needed to prevent life-threatening complications.

Your blood counts will be monitored. The drug should also be considered potentially cancer-causing in humans. Report fever, signs of infection or unusual bleeding right away.

Patient information guide A plain-language walkthrough of Thiotepa Injection, written from its FDA label.

What Thiotepa Injection is used for

▾

Thiotepa Injection treats several conditions. The label ties these uses to Tepadina.

  • Tepadina, with high-dose busulfan and cyclophosphamide, reduces the risk of graft rejection before stem cell transplant in children with class 3 beta-thalassemia.
  • Tepadina treats adenocarcinoma of the breast or ovary.
  • Tepadina controls fluid buildup in body cavities (serosal cavities) caused by cancer.
  • Tepadina treats superficial papillary carcinoma of the urinary bladder.

How Thiotepa Injection works

▾

Thiotepa is an alkylating drug. It releases chemical groups that attach to DNA and break its bonds, including at a building block called guanine. This damages the DNA in rapidly dividing cells and keeps them from copying themselves.

Thiotepa Injection dosage

▾

Thiotepa Injection is given by healthcare professionals, and food does not apply. The route depends on the use.

  • Transplant preparation: intravenous infusion through a central venous catheter over 3 hours, given twice about 12 hours apart before transplant.
  • Breast or ovarian cancer: intravenous infusion, with doses 1 to 4 weeks apart.
  • Fluid buildup: given into the affected body cavity at 1 to 4 week intervals.
  • Bladder cancer: placed in the bladder by catheter, held about 2 hours, usually weekly for 4 weeks.

Your team adjusts the schedule using blood counts. Follow their instructions.

Dosing details from the FDA-approved label

From the Thiotepa Injection prescribing information (“Dosage and Administration”). Doses are set by your prescriber for your product, condition, kidney function and age — never change a dose on your own.

  • Class 3 beta-thalassemia (pediatric patients, allogeneic HSCT)
    • Two administrations of 5 mg/kg given by intravenous infusion approximately 12 hours apart on Day -6 before allogeneic HSCT in conjunction with high-dose busulfan and cyclophosphamide
    • Infuse via a central venous catheter over 3 hours using an infusion set equipped with a 0.2 micron in-line filter
    • Flush the catheter with approximately 5 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection prior to and following each infusion; take precautions to prevent skin toxicity
  • Adenocarcinoma of the breast or ovary
    • 0.3 mg/kg to 0.4 mg/kg by intravenous infusion
    • Doses should be given at 1 to 4 week intervals
    • Initially the higher dose in the given range is commonly administered
    • Maintenance dose adjusted weekly on the basis of pre-treatment control blood counts and subsequent blood counts; maintenance dosages should not be administered more frequently than weekly
  • Malignant effusions
    • 0.6 mg/kg to 0.8 mg/kg intracavitary
    • Doses should be given at 1 to 4 week intervals
    • Initially the higher dose in the given range is commonly administered
    • Maintenance dose adjusted weekly on the basis of pre-treatment control blood counts and subsequent blood counts; maintenance dosages should not be administered more frequently than weekly
  • Superficial papillary carcinoma of the urinary bladder
    • 60 mg in 30 mL to 60 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection into the bladder by catheter
    • Solution should be retained for 2 hours
    • Usual course of treatment is once a week for 4 weeks
    • If the patient cannot retain 60 mL for 2 hours, the dose may be given in a volume of 30 mL; course may be repeated if necessary, but second and third courses must be given with caution since bone-marrow depression may be increased

  • Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur.
  • Skin reactions such as discoloration, itching, blistering and peeling can occur, especially in skin folds. Bathe at least twice daily through 48 hours after a dose, and change bed sheets daily.
  • Liver veno-occlusive disease can occur with high doses combined with busulfan and cyclophosphamide.
  • High doses can cause central nervous system toxicity, including fatal encephalopathy (brain dysfunction).
  • It carries a risk of second cancers, including leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.
  • Death has occurred after bladder administration from absorbed drug suppressing the marrow.

Thiotepa Injection interactions

▾

Several drugs can change how thiotepa works.

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir): may affect thiotepa's effectiveness and toxicity, so they should be avoided.
  • Strong CYP3A4 inducers (rifampin, phenytoin): same concern, so they should be avoided.
  • Cyclophosphamide: thiotepa reduces its conversion to its active form, especially if thiotepa is given first.
  • CYP2B6 substrate drugs: thiotepa may raise their levels.
  • Live or attenuated vaccines: avoid until immune effects have resolved.

Interactions listed in the FDA-approved label

From the Thiotepa Injection prescribing information (“Drug Interactions”): what the manufacturer studied or reported to the FDA.

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir): Thiotepa is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 to its active metabolite TEPA, so there are potential effects on efficacy and toxicity. Avoid co-administration; consider alternative medications with no or minimal potential to inhibit or induce CYP3A4. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, closely monitor for adverse drug reactions.
  • Strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin): Thiotepa is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 to its active metabolite TEPA, so there are potential effects on efficacy and toxicity. Avoid co-administration; consider alternative medications with no or minimal potential to inhibit or induce CYP3A4. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, closely monitor for adverse drug reactions.
  • CYP2B6 substrates: Thiotepa inhibits CYP2B6 in vitro and may increase the exposure of CYP2B6 substrate drugs; the clinical relevance is unknown.
  • Cyclophosphamide: Thiotepa reduces the conversion of cyclophosphamide to its active metabolite 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, with a greater reduction when thiotepa is given 1.5 hours prior to intravenous cyclophosphamide than after it; this may potentially reduce efficacy of cyclophosphamide treatment.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Effect of Cytochrome CYP3A Inhibitors and Inducers In vitro studies suggest that thiotepa is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 to its active metabolite TEPA. Avoid co-administration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) and strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin) with TEPADINA due to the potential effects on efficacy and toxicity [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ] . Consider alternative medications with no or minimal potential to inhibit or induce CYP3A4. If concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 modulators cannot be avoided, closely monitor for adverse drug reactions. 7.2 Effect of TEPADINA on Cytochrome CYP2B6 Substrates In vitro studies suggest that thiotepa inhibits CYP2B6. TEPADINA may increase the exposure of drugs that are substrates of CYP2B6 in patients; however, the clinical relevance of this in vitro interaction is unknown [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ] . The administration of thiotepa with cyclophosphamide in patients reduces the conversion of cyclophosphamide to the active metabolite, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide; the effect appears sequence dependent with a greater reduction in the conversion to 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide when thiotepa is administered 1.5 hours prior to the intravenous administration of cyclophosphamide compared to administration of thiotepa after intravenous cyclophosphamide [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ] . The reduction in 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide levels may potentially reduce efficacy of cyclophosphamide treatment.

7.1 Effect of Cytochrome CYP3A Inhibitors and Inducers In vitro studies suggest that thiotepa is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 to its active metabolite TEPA. Avoid co-administration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) and strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin) with TEPADINA due to the potential effects on efficacy and toxicity [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ] .

Before taking Thiotepa Injection

▾
  • Do not use if you have a known allergy to thiotepa.
  • Existing liver, kidney or bone marrow damage is probably a contraindication. It may be used at low dose with close testing if the need outweighs the risk.
  • Pregnancy: it can cause fetal harm, so pregnancy status is checked first.
  • Women should avoid pregnancy during treatment and for 6 months after. Men should use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year after.
  • Do not breastfeed during treatment.
  • Fertility may be affected.
  • Moderate to severe kidney or liver impairment calls for closer monitoring for toxicity.
  • Older adults: doses are chosen cautiously, starting low.
  • Safety in neonates is not established.

Thiotepa Injection overdose

▾

Overdose can severely lower white cells and platelets, leading to bleeding and infection. There is no known antidote. Transfusions of whole blood or platelets have helped, and thiotepa can be removed by dialysis.

What Thiotepa Injection does in the body

▾

Thiotepa is toxic to the blood-forming system, and this effect is dose-related. Falling white cell or platelet counts signal the need to reduce or stop the dose. The relationship between exposure and effectiveness or safety has not been characterized.

How your body processes Thiotepa Injection

▾

After intravenous infusion, thiotepa reaches its peak level near the end of the infusion. The liver breaks it down, partly through CYP3A4 and CYP2B6, into an active metabolite called TEPA. Half-life is short, roughly 1.4 to 3.7 hours in adults, and TEPA lasts longer. Less than 2% of the dose leaves unchanged in urine.

How to store Thiotepa Injection

▾

stored and transported refrigerated at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). Do not freeze.

Thiotepa Injection: pharmacist answers to common questions

Quick, plain-English answers to the questions patients ask most about Thiotepa Injection — the kind of thing our pharmacy team would talk through with you at the counter.

What is Thiotepa Injection for?

▾
It is a chemotherapy medicine. Tepadina is used before stem cell transplant in children with class 3 beta-thalassemia. It is also used for breast or ovarian adenocarcinoma, cancer-related fluid buildup in body cavities, and superficial papillary carcinoma of the bladder.

How will I get it?

▾
A healthcare team gives it to you. Depending on the use, it goes into a vein, into a body cavity, or into your bladder through a catheter. Your team decides the schedule and checks your blood counts along the way.

What side effects should I expect?

▾
Low blood counts are very common. You may also get mouth sores, diarrhea, rash, bleeding, blood in the urine, nausea and tiredness. Call right away for fever, signs of infection, unusual bleeding, trouble breathing, confusion or seizures.

Why do I need to shower so often?

▾
Thiotepa can leave your body partly through the skin and cause discoloration, itching, blistering or peeling. The label advises bathing at least twice daily through 48 hours after a dose. Change bed sheets daily during treatment.

Can I take it during pregnancy?

▾
It can harm an unborn baby, so pregnancy should be avoided. Women should avoid pregnancy during treatment and for 6 months after. Men should use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year after. Do not breastfeed during treatment.

Do my other medicines matter?

▾
Yes. Tell your team about everything you take. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors like itraconazole, clarithromycin and ritonavir, and inducers like rifampin and phenytoin, should be avoided. Live vaccines are not recommended until your immune system has recovered.

Is Thiotepa Injection available over the counter?

▾
No. Thiotepa Injection is a prescription medicine: every Thiotepa Injection product listed with the FDA is prescription only, so it is not sold over the counter. Your prescriber decides whether it is appropriate for you, and your pharmacist dispenses it.

When was Thiotepa Injection first available?

▾
The earliest FDA record we hold for Thiotepa Injection is from 1959: its first approval in Drugs@FDA or its earliest product listing in the NDC Directory, whichever is older. Many older medicines were in use before their first formal FDA approval, so this is the earliest date on record, not necessarily when Thiotepa Injection was first used.

Who makes Thiotepa Injection?

▾
9 companies currently list Thiotepa Injection products in the FDA's NDC Directory, including Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., Dr.Reddy's Laboratories Inc.,. That count includes repackagers and distributors as well as manufacturers (companies that sell only the raw ingredient are not counted), so fewer companies actually make it; the label on your bottle names the one that supplied yours.
