Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🎯 Indications and Usage 65 words ▾

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Clofarabine Injection is indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia after at least two prior regimens. Clofarabine Injection is a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia after at least two prior regimens. (1)

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~3 min read ▾

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administer the recommended pediatric dose of 52 mg/m2 as an intravenous infusion over 2 hours daily for 5 consecutive days of a 28-day cycle. Repeat cycles every 2-6 weeks. (2.1) Provide supportive care, such as intravenous infusion fluids,antihyperuricemic treatment, and alkalinization of urine throughout the 5 days of Clofarabine Injection administration to reduce the risk of tumor lysis and other adverse events.

(2.1) Discontinue Clofarabine Injection if hypotension develops during the 5 days of administration. (2.1) Reduce the dose in patients with renal impairment. (2.1) Use dose modification for toxicity.

(2.3)

2.1Recommended Dosage Administer the recommended pediatric dose of 52 mg/m2 as an intravenous infusion over 2 hours daily for 5 consecutive days. Treatment cycles are repeated following recovery or return to baseline organ function, approximately every 2 to 6 weeks. The dosage is based on the patient’s body surface area (BSA), calculated using the actual height and weight before the start of each cycle.

To prevent drug incompatibilities, no other medications should be administered through the same intravenous line. Provide supportive care, such as intravenous fluids, antihyperuricemic treatment, and alkalinize urine throughout the 5 days of Clofarabine Injection administration to reduce the effects of tumor lysis and other adverse events. Discontinue Clofarabine Injection if hypotension develops during the 5 days of administration.

Monitor renal and hepatic function during the 5 days of Clofarabine Injection administration [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7, 5.8)]. Monitor patients taking medications known to affect blood pressure. Monitor cardiac function during administration of Clofarabine Injection.

Reduce the dose by 50% in patients with creatinine clearance (CrCL) between 30 and 60 mL/min. There is insufficient information to make a dosage recommendation in patients with CrCL less than 30 mL/min [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].

2.2Supportive Medications and Medications to Avoid Consider prophylactic anti-emetic medications as Clofarabine Injection is moderately emetogenic. Consider the use of prophylactic steroids to mitigate Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) or capillary leak syndrome (e.g., hypotension, tachycardia, tachypnea, and pulmonary edema). Minimize exposure to drugs with known renal toxicity during the 5 days of Clofarabine Injection administration since the risk of renal toxicity may be increased.

Consider avoiding concomitant use of medications known to induce hepatic toxicity.

2.3Dose Modifications and Reinitiation of Therapy Hematologic Toxicity Administer subsequent cycles no sooner than 14 days from the starting day of the previous cycle and provided the patient’s ANC is ≥0.75 × 10 9 /L. If a patient experiences a Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC <0.5 × 10 9 /L) lasting ≥4 weeks, reduce dose by 25% for the next cycle. Non-hematologic Toxicity Withhold Clofarabine Injection if a patient develops a clinically significant infection, until the infection is controlled, then restart at the full dose.

Withhold Clofarabine Injection for a Grade 3 non-infectious non-hematologic toxicity (excluding transient elevations in serum transaminases and/or serum bilirubin and/or nausea/vomiting controlled by antiemetic therapy). Re-institute Clofarabine Injection administration at a 25% dose reduction when resolution or return to baseline.

2.4Reconstitution/Preparation Clofarabine Injection should be filtered through a sterile 0.2 micron syringe filter and then diluted with 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, prior to intravenous (IV) infusion to a final concentration between 0.15 mg/mL and 0.4 mg/mL. Use within 24 hours of preparation. Store diluted Clofarabine Injection at room temperature (15-30 º C).

2.5Incompatibility Do not administer any other medications through the same intravenous line.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~2 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Myelosuppression: May be severe and prolonged. Monitor complete blood counts and platelet counts during Clofarabine Injection therapy. (5.1) Hemorrhage: Serious and fatal cerebral, gastrointestinal and pulmonary hemorrhage.

Monitor platelets and coagulation parameters and treat accordingly. (5.2) Infections: Severe and fatal sepsis as a result of bone marrow suppression. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection; discontinue Clofarabine Injection and treat promptly.

(5.3) Tumor Lysis syndrome: Anticipate, monitor for signs and symptoms and treat promptly. (5.4) Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) or Capillary Leak Syndrome: Monitor for and discontinue Clofarabine Injection immediately if suspected. (5.5) Venous Occlusive Disease of the Liver: Monitor for and discontinue Clofarabine Injection if suspected.

(5.6) Hepatotoxicity: Severe and fatal hepatotoxicity. Monitor liver function, for signs and symptoms of hepatitis and hepatic failure. Discontinue Clofarabine Injection immediately for Grade 3 or greater liver enzyme and/or bilirubin elevations.

(5.7) Renal Toxicity: Increased creatinine and acute renal failure; monitor renal function and interrupt or discontinue Clofarabine Injection. (5.8) Enterocolitis: Serious and fatal enterocolitis, occurring more frequently within 30 days of treatment and with combination chemotherapy. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of enterocolitis and treat promptly.

(5.9) Skin Reactions: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), including fatal cases. Discontinue for exfoliative or bullous rash, or if SJS or TEN is suspected. (5.10)

5.1Myelosuppression Clofarabine Injection causes myelosuppression which may be severe and prolonged. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 55% and non-febrile neutropenia in an additional 10% of pediatric patients in clinical trials. At initiation of treatment, most patients in the clinical studies had hematological impairment as a manifestation of leukemia.

Myelosuppression is usually reversible with interruption of Clofarabine Injection treatment and appears to be dose-dependent. Monitor complete blood counts [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

5.2Hemorrhage Serious and fatal hemorrhage, including cerebral, gastrointestinal and pulmonary hemorrhage, has occurred. The majority of the cases were associated with thrombocytopenia. Monitor platelets and coagulation parameters and treat accordingly [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)].

5.3Infections Clofarabine Injection increases the risk of infection, including severe and fatal sepsis, and opportunistic infections. At baseline, 48% of the pediatric patients had one or more concurrent infections. A total of 83% of patients experienced at least one infection after Clofarabine Injection treatment, including fungal, viral and bacterial infections.

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection, discontinue Clofarabine Injection, and treat promptly.

5.4Hyperuricemia (Tumor Lysis) Administration of Clofarabine Injection may result in tumor lysis syndrome associated with the break-down metabolic products from peripheral leukemia cell death. Monitor patients undergoing treatment for signs and symptoms of tumor lysis syndrome and initiate preventive measures including adequate intravenous fluids and measures to control uric acid.

5.5Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and Capillary Leak Syndrome Clofarabine Injection may cause a cytokine release syndrome (e.g., tachypnea, tachycardia, hypotension, pulmonary edema) that may progress to the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) with capillary leak syndrome and organ impairment which may be fatal. Monitor patients frequently for these conditions. In clinical trials, SIRS was reported in two patients (2%); capillary leak syndrome was reported in four patients (4%).

Symptoms included rapid onset of respiratory distress, hypotension, pleural and pericardial effusion, and multi-organ failure.… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described below reflect exposure to Clofarabine Injection in 115 pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) (70 patients) or Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) (45 patients). In total, 115 pediatric patients treated in clinical trials received the recommended dose of Clofarabine Injection 52 mg/m2 daily × 5.

The median number of cycles was 2. The median cumulative amount of Clofarabine Injection received by pediatric patients during all cycles was 540 mg. Most common adverse reactions (≥25%): vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, febrile neutropenia, pruritus, headache, bacteremia, pyrexia, rash, tachycardia, abdominal pain, chills, fatigue, anorexia, pain in extremity, hypotension, epistaxis, and petechiae.

Table 1 lists adverse reactions by System Organ Class, including severe or life-threatening (NCI CTC Grade 3 or Grade 4), reported in ≥5% of the 115 patients in the 52 mg/m2/day dose group (pooled analysis of pediatric patients with ALL and AML).

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Embryo-fetal Toxicity: fetal harm can occur when administered to a pregnant woman. Women should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant when receiving Clofarabine Injection. (5.11, 8.1) See 17 for PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Category D Clofarabine Injection may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Clofarabine was teratogenic in rats and rabbits. Developmental toxicity (reduced fetal body weight and increased post-implantation loss) and increased incidences of malformations and variations (gross external, soft tissue, skeletal and retarded ossification) were observed in rats receiving 54 mg/m 2 /day (approximately equivalent to the recommended clinical dose on a mg/m 2 basis), and in rabbits receiving 12 mg/m 2 /day (approximately 23% of the recommended clinical dose on a mg/m 2 basis).

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women using clofarabine. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant while receiving treatment with clofarabine.

All patients should be advised to use effective contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy.

8.3Nursing Mothers It is not known whether clofarabine or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for tumorigenicity shown for clofarabine in animal studies and the potential for serious adverse reactions, women treated with clofarabine should not nurse. Female patients should be advised to avoid breastfeeding during treatment with Clofarabine Injection.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness have been established in pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

8.5Geriatric Use Safety and effectiveness of Clofarabine Injection has not been established in geriatric patients aged 65 and older.

8.6Adults with Hematologic Malignancies Safety and effectiveness have not been established in adults.

8.7Renal Impairment Reduce the Clofarabine Injection starting dose by 50% in patients with CrCL of 30 to 60 mL/min. There is insufficient information to make a dosage recommendation in patients with CrCL less than 30 mL/min or in patients on dialysis. The pharmacokinetics of clofarabine in patients with renal impairment and normal renal function were obtained from a population pharmacokinetic analysis of three pediatric and two adult studies.

In patients with CrCL 60 to less than 90 mL/min (N=47) and CrCL 30 to less than 60 mL/min (N=30), the average AUC of clofarabine increased by 60% and 140%, respectively, compared to patients with normal (N=66) renal function (CrCL greater than 90 mL/min).

The highest daily dose administered to a human to date (on a mg/m 2 basis) has been 70 mg/m 2 /day × 5 days (2 pediatric ALL patients). The toxicities included in these 2 patients included Grade 4 hyperbilirubinemia, Grade 2 and 3 vomiting, and Grade 3 maculopapular rash.

In a Phase 1 study of adults with refractory and/or relapsed hematologic malignancies, the recommended pediatric dose of 52 mg/m 2 /day was not tolerated.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ~2 min read ▾

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Clofarabine is sequentially metabolized intracellularly to the 5’-monophosphate metabolite by deoxycytidine kinase and mono- and di-phospho-kinases to the active 5’-triphosphate metabolite. Clofarabine has affinity for the activating phosphorylating enzyme, deoxycytidine kinase, equal to or greater than that of the natural substrate, deoxycytidine. Clofarabine inhibits DNA synthesis by decreasing cellular deoxynucleotide triphosphate pools through an inhibitory action on ribonucleotide reductase, and by terminating DNA chain elongation and inhibiting repair through incorporation into the DNA chain by competitive inhibition of DNA polymerases.

The affinity of clofarabine triphosphate for these enzymes is similar to or greater than that of deoxyadenosine triphosphate. In preclinical models, clofarabine has demonstrated the ability to inhibit DNA repair by incorporation into the DNA chain during the repair process. Clofarabine 5’- triphosphate also disrupts the integrity of mitochondrial membrane, leading to the release of the pro-apoptotic mitochondrial proteins, cytochrome C and apoptosis-inducing factor, leading to programmed cell death.

Clofarabine is cytotoxic to rapidly proliferating and quiescent cancer cell types in vitro.

12.3Pharmacokinetics The population pharmacokinetics of Clofarabine Injection were studied in 40 pediatric patients aged 2 to 19 years (21 males/19 females) with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). At the given 52 mg/m 2 dose, similar concentrations were obtained over a wide range of body surface areas (BSAs). Clofarabine was 47% bound to plasma proteins, predominantly to albumin.

Based on non-compartmental analysis, systemic clearance and volume of distribution at steady-state were

28.8L/h/m 2 and 172 L/m 2 , respectively. The terminal half-life was 5.2 hours. No apparent difference in pharmacokinetics was observed between patients with ALL and AML or between males and females.

No relationship between clofarabine or clofarabine triphosphate exposure and toxicity or response was found in this population. Based on 24-hour urine collections in the pediatric studies, 49-60% of the dose is excreted in the urine unchanged. In vitro studies using isolated human hepatocytes indicate very limited metabolism (0.2%).

The pathways of non-hepatic elimination remain unknown. Clofarabine has not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment. Drug-Drug Interactions In vitro studies suggested that clofarabine undergoes limited metabolism and does not inhibit or induce major CYP enzymes.

CYP inhibitors and inducers are unlikely to affect the metabolism of clofarabine. Clofarabine is unlikely to affect the metabolism of CYP substrates. However, no in vivo drug interaction studies have been conducted.

An in vitro transporter study suggested that clofarabine is a substrate of human transporters OAT1, OAT3, and OCT1. A preclinical study using perfused rat kidney demonstrated that the renal excretion of clofarabine was decreased by cimetidine, an inhibitor of the hOCT2. Although the clinical implications of this finding have not been determined, signs of Clofarabine Injection toxicity should be monitored when administered with other hOAT1, hOAT3, hOCT1 and hOCT2 substrates or inhibitors.

🔬 Clinical Studies ~3 min read ▾

14 CLINICAL STUDIES Seventy-eight (78) pediatric patients with ALL were exposed to Clofarabine Injection. Seventy (70) of the patients received the recommended pediatric dose of Clofarabine Injection 52 mg/m 2 daily for 5 days as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Dose Escalation Study in Pediatric Patients with Hematologic Malignancies The safety and efficacy of Clofarabine Injection were evaluated in pediatric patients with refractory or relapsed hematologic malignancies in an open-label, dose-escalation, noncomparative study.

The starting dose of Clofarabine Injection was 11.25 mg/m 2 /day IV infusion daily × 5 and escalated to 70 mg/m 2 /day IV infusion daily × 5. This dosing schedule was repeated every 2 to 6 weeks depending on toxicity and response. Nine of 17 ALL patients were treated with Clofarabine Injection 52 mg/m 2 daily for 5 days.

In the 17 ALL patients there were 2 complete remissions (12%) and 2 partial remissions (12%) at varying doses. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in this study were reversible hyperbilirubinemia and elevated transaminase levels and skin rash, experienced at 70 mg/m 2 . As a result of this study, the recommended dose for subsequent study in pediatric patients was determined to be 52 mg/m 2 /day for 5 days.

Single-Arm Study in Pediatric ALL Clofarabine Injection was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm study of 61 pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory ALL. Patients received a dose of 52 mg/m 2 over 2 hours for 5 consecutive days repeated every 2 to 6 weeks for up to 12 cycles. There was no dose escalation in this study.

All patients had disease that had relapsed after and/or was refractory to two or more prior therapies. Most patients, 38/61 (62%), had received >2 prior regimens and 18/61 (30%) of the patients had undergone at least 1 prior transplant. The median age of the treated patients was 12 years, 61% were male, 39% were female, 44% were Caucasian, 38% were Hispanic, 12% were African-American, 2% were Asian and 5% were Other race.

The overall remission (OR) rate (Complete Remission [CR] + CR in the absence of total platelet recovery [CRp]) was evaluated. CR was defined as no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease, an M1 bone marrow (≤5% blasts), and recovery of peripheral counts [platelets ≥100 × 10 9 /L and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 10 9 /L]. CRp was defined as meeting all criteria for CR except for recovery of platelet counts to ≥100 × 10 9 /L.

Partial Response (PR) was also determined, defined as complete disappearance of circulating blasts, an M2 bone marrow (≥5% and ≤25% blasts), and appearance of normal progenitor cells or an M1 marrow that did not qualify for CR or CRp. Duration of remission was also evaluated. Transplantation rate was not a study endpoint.

Response rates for these studies were determined by an unblinded Independent Response Review Panel (IRRP). Table 3 summarizes results for the pediatric ALL study. Responses were seen in both pre-B and T-cell immunophenotypes of ALL.

The median cumulative dose was 530 mg (range 29-2815 mg) in 1 (41%), 2 (44%) or 3 or more (15%) cycles. The median number of cycles was 2 (range 1-12). The median time between cycles was 28 days with a range of 12 to 55 days.

Table 3: Results in Single-Arm Pediatric ALL N=61 CR % [95% CI] 11.5 (4.7, 22.2) CRp % [95% CI] 8.2 (2.7, 18.1) Median Duration of CR plus CRp (range in weeks)1 10.7 (4.3 to 58.6) CR = Complete response CRp = Complete response without platelet recovery 1 Does not include 4 patients who were transplanted (duration of response, including response after transplant, in these 4 patients was 28.6 to 107.7 weeks). Six (9.8%) patients achieved a PR; the clinical relevance of a PR in this setting is unknown. Of 35 patients who were refractory to their immediately preceding induction regimen, 6 (17%) achieved a CR or CRp.

Of 18 patients who had at least 1 prior hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), 5 (28%) achieved a CR or CRp. Among the 12 pati… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Clofarabine has not been tested for carcinogenic potential. Clofarabine showed clastogenic activity in the in vitro mammalian cell chromosome aberration assay (CHO cells) and in the in vivo rat micronucleus assay. It did not show evidence of mutagenic activity in the bacterial mutation assay (Ames test).

Studies in mice, rats, and dogs have demonstrated dose-related adverse effects on male reproductive organs. Seminiferous tubule and testicular degeneration and atrophy were reported in male mice receiving intraperitoneal (IP) doses of 3 mg/kg/day (9 mg/m 2 /day, approximately 17% of clinical recommended dose on a mg/m 2 basis). The testes of rats receiving 25 mg/kg/day (150 mg/m 2 /day, approximately 3 times the recommended clinical dose on a mg/m 2 basis) in a 6-month IV study had bilateral degeneration of the seminiferous epithelium with retained spermatids and atrophy of interstitial cells.

In a 6-month IV dog study, cell degeneration of the epididymis and degeneration of the seminiferous epithelium in the testes were observed in dogs receiving 0.375 mg/kg/day (7.5 mg/m 2 /day, approximately 14% of the clinical recommended dose on a mg/m 2 basis). Ovarian atrophy or degeneration and uterine mucosal apoptosis were observed in female mice at 75 mg/kg/day (225 mg/m 2 /day, approximately 4-fold of recommended human dose on a mg/m 2 basis), the only dose administered to female mice. The effect on human fertility is unknown.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Fosun Pharma USA Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Fosun Pharma USA Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
Does this product have a billing J-code?
Yes — this NDC cross-references HCPCS code J9027 for medical-claim billing (typically used when a product is administered in a clinical setting rather than dispensed at a retail pharmacy). See the Billing section on this page.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
For educational and professional reference only — not medical advice. Pricing reflects published NADAC and CMS ASP (free public data) and may differ from your acquisition cost; always verify before billing or dispensing.
