HSRs caused by immunomodulating agents, specifically lenalidomide (LEN) can be overwhelmingly distressful, paradoxically depriving patients of access to a clinically meaningful drug. Based on our historical clinical experiences, we have learned that the rapid desensitization protocol (RDP), when executed precisely, can enable patients to successfully resume LEN treatment. This served as the impetus for initiating our prospective study. We consecutively enrolled 10 patients diagnosed with plasma cell disease who had experienced a previous HSR specifically with LEN. After fully recovering from their initial reactions, patients underwent a controlled 10–12 steps incremental increase in drug dosage administration, followed by daily resumption of LEN over a 90-day period. All 10 (100%) patients successfully completed the protocol and continued on further LEN treatment cycles, although 1 patient voluntarily chose to withdraw from the study due to recurrent symptoms after receiving 2 doses of LEN. Three (30%) patients remained symptom-free throughout the follow-up period. Six (60%) patients experienced mild and short-lived HSR reactivation; however, all had the ability to take LEN for the majority of the study period. RDP enables patients to continue taking LEN and maintains the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) by reducing the occurrence of HSR. RDP empowers patients to participate in future clinical trialsinvolving novel treatments that contain LEN as a backbone therapy, opportunities they would have otherwise been ineligible for.</p>","PeriodicalId":15381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/jcpt/6275323","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145469858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Impact of Different Diuretic Protocols on the Prevention of Renal Impairment and Extravasation Incidences During Short Hydration in Cisplatin Administration","authors":"Sohei Ohshima, Takuya Araki, Hideaki Yashima, Reiko Sakurai, Yohei Ohsaki, Akemi Tsunoda, Hiromi Sekine, Koujirou Yamamoto, Norifumi Tsukamoto","doi":"10.1155/jcpt/5568932","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/jcpt/5568932","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The short hydration method using magnesium and diuretics has been widely adopted to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Both mannitol and furosemide are commonly used as diuretics in this approach, but there is no clear consensus on the benefits or risks of combining the two. Mannitol is associated with a higher risk of vascular problems, such as extravascular leakage and vasculitis, owing to its high osmolality. In this study, we investigated the risk of vascular problems and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in patients who underwent short hydration with both mannitol and furosemide and in those who underwent short hydration with furosemide alone during the administration of cisplatin. Propensity score matching was performed to control for background characteristics, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors. The use of both mannitol and furosemide was significantly associated with a higher risk of extravasation (odds ratio [OR] = 8.29) and vascular events (OR = 12.58) compared with the use of furosemide alone. In contrast, the degree of renal function decline and incidence of grade ≥ 2 nephrotoxicity did not significantly differ between the groups. These findings suggest that adding mannitol to furosemide does not provide an additional benefit in preventing cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity but may increase the risk of vascular adverse events. Therefore, as a general rule, furosemide alone is recommended as the diuretic in the short hydration method to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity as well as extravascular leakage and vasculitis.</p>","PeriodicalId":15381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/jcpt/5568932","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145407442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
