• GFR measurement either by EDTA or a 24 hour urine collection prior to methotrexate


infusion. The creatinine clearance must be 50ml/min or more for the methotrexate in
this regimen to be administered. Renal function should be measured daily during
methotrexate administration until methotrexate levels are less than 0.1micromol/L

• Methotrexate levels taken every 24 hours, starting 48 hours after the start of the
infusion until the level is below 0.1micromol/L

• Urinary pH every two hours as a minimum until the methotrexate level is below
0.1micromol/L

Version 1 (September 2018) Page 1 of 13


Lymphoma-InP-MATRix-Cytarabine-Methotrexate-Rituximab-Thiotepa
• Ensure the patient has no ascites, pleural effusion or oedema prior to administration
of high dose methotrexate.

• Strict fluid balance chart to be maintained throughout methotrexate administration


with appropriate action taken if positive by more than 2 kg/L

• Consider monitoring serum immunoglobulin levels

• Check hepatitis B status before starting treatment with rituximab

Dose Modifications

The dose modifications listed are for haematological, liver and renal function and drug
specific toxicities only. Dose adjustments may be necessary for other toxicities as well.

In principle all dose reductions due to adverse drug reactions should not be re-escalated in
subsequent cycles without consultant approval. It is also a general rule for chemotherapy
that if a third dose reduction is necessary treatment should be stopped.

Please discuss all dose reductions / delays with the relevant consultant before prescribing, if
appropriate. The approach may be different depending on the clinical circumstances.

Haematological

There are no dose modifications for haematological toxicity. Treatment should be delayed
until the minimum criteria, described in the table below, are reached.

Criteria Eligible Level


Neutrophils equal to or more than 1.5x109/L
Platelets equal to or more than 100x109/L

Consider blood transfusion if patient symptomatic of anaemia or has a haemoglobin of less


than 8g/dL (80g/L).

Hepatic Impairment

Please note that the approach may be different if abnormal liver function tests are due to
disease involvement.

There is a higher risk of methotrexate toxicity in patients with concomitantly impaired renal
function, consider dose reduction.

Methotrexate can cause severe renal impairment that can then lead to raised levels and
further toxicity. Renal function must be monitored daily until levels are below 0.1micromol/L.
It is imperative that urinary pH is maintained above pH 7, through the administration of
sodium bicarbonate, before starting and during the administration of methotrexate, and
continued until methotrexate levels are less than 0.1 micromol/L.

Version 1 (September 2018) Page 3 of 13


Lymphoma-InP-MATRix-Cytarabine-Methotrexate-Rituximab-Thiotepa
Monitor fluid balance carefully and give intravenous furosemide if fluid overload occurs or
urine output falls to less than 400ml/m2 in any 4-hour period.

Folinic acid 30mg every 3 hours intravenous beginning 24 hours after the start of the
methotrexate infusion and continued until the methotrexate levels are below 0.1micromol/L.
This may be given orally from dose 5 onwards if the patient is able to tolerate oral therapy. If
levels of methotrexate are above 2.0 micromol/L at 72 hours additional folinic acid may be
necessary. Always seek advice from a senior member of staff (consultant should always be
informed of raised methotrexate levels or if a rapid deterioration in renal function occurs) and
increase the dose of folinic as follows;

Glucarpidase can be considered for methotrexate toxicity. The decision to prescribe


glucarpidase must only be made by a consultant and in accordance with the NHSE
commissioning policy on glucarpidase (https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-
content/uploads/2018/07/Glucarpidase-for-the-urgent-treatment-of-methotrexate-induced-
renal-dysfunction.pdf).

NHS England will fund glucarpidase (unlicensed in UK) for adults receiving high-dose
methotrexate chemotherapy (doses greater than 1g/m2 );

• Who develop significant deterioration in renal function (greater than1.5x ULN and
rising, or the presence of oliguria)

OR

• have toxic plasma methotrexate level

AND

• have been treated with all standard rescue and supportive measures

AND

• at risk of life-threatening methotrexate-induced toxicities

The recommended dose is one single intravenous injection of 50units/kg

Other

Older patients considered fit for MATRix therapy may receive dose reductions at the
discretion of the supervising consultant

Dose reductions or interruptions in therapy are not necessary for those toxicities that are
considered unlikely to be serious or life threatening. For example, alopecia, altered taste or
nail changes.

Where appropriate, if dose reductions made at cycle one are well tolerated, dose increases
can be considered on subsequent cycles according to tolerability.

Cytarabine

Cytarabine may cause conjunctivitis. The prophylactic use of corticosteroid eye drops may
reduce the incidence of this ocular toxicity
Version 1 (September 2018) Page 4 of 13
Lymphoma-InP-MATRix-Cytarabine-Methotrexate-Rituximab-Thiotepa
Methotrexate

The presence of a third fluid compartment e.g. ascites, pleural effusion or other oedema may
delay the clearance of methotrexate and hence increase toxicity and should be resolved
before methotrexate administration. Daily weights should be undertaken during hydration for
methotrexate, and significant fluid retention should be managed with furosemide, as required
(see ‘additional therapy’).

In addition to the renal and hepatic dysfunction described above, methotrexate can also
cause significant mucositis. Ensure the patient has adequate mouthwashes and good oral
hygiene practices.

Rituximab

Infusion related adverse reactions have been observed in 10% of patients treated with
rituximab.

Rituximab administration is associated with the onset of cytokine release syndrome. This
condition is characterised by severe dyspnoea, often accompanied by bronchospasm and
hypoxia, in addition to fever, chills, rigors, urticaria, and angioedema. It may be associated
with some features of tumour lysis syndrome such as hyperuricaemia, hyperkalaemia,
hypocalcaemia, acute renal failure, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and can lead to
acute respiratory failure and death. This effect on the lungs may be accompanied by events
such as pulmonary interstitial infiltration or oedema, visible on a chest x-ray.

Cytokine release syndrome frequently occurs within one or two hours of initiating the first
infusion.

Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported following the


intravenous administration of proteins. In contrast to cytokine release syndrome, true
hypersensitivity reactions typically occur within minutes of starting the infusion. Medicinal
products for the treatment of allergic reactions should be available for immediate use in the
event of hypersensitivity developing during the administration of rituximab.

Use of rituximab may be associated with an increased risk of progressive multifocal


leukoencephalopathy (PML). Patients must be monitored at regular intervals for any new or
worsening neurological, cognitive or psychiatric symptoms that may be suggestive of PML. If
PML is suspected, further dosing must be suspended until PML has been excluded. If PML
is confirmed the rituximab must be permanently discontinued.

The presence of a viral upper respiratory tract infection at the time of treatment may increase
the risk of rituximab associated hepatotoxicity. Patients should be assessed for any cold or
flu-like symptoms prior to treatment.

• Post-treatment with intravenous methotrexate

- folinic acid 30mg every 3 hours intravenous beginning 24 hours after the start of the
methotrexate infusion and continued until the methotrexate levels are below
0.1micromol/L. This may be given orally from dose 5 onwards if the patient is able to
tolerate oral therapy. If levels of methotrexate are above 2micromol/L at 72 hours
additional folinic acid may be necessary. Seek advice from a senior member of the
medical staff (consultant must be informed of raised methotrexate levels and / or a
rapid deterioration in renal function or output).

• Corticosteroid eye drops such as prednisolone 0.5% or dexamethasone 0.1% one drop
into both eyes four times a day for 4 days starting on day 8.

• Growth factor should be started 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy, to be


continued until the neutrophil count is above 1x109/L. For example:

- filgrastim or bioequivalent 30million units once a day from day 6 subcutaneous


- lenograstim or bioequivalent 33.6million units once a day from day 6 subcutaneous
- pegfilgrastim or bioequivalent 6mg once only day 6 subcutaneous

• Mouthwashes according to local or national policy on the treatment of mucositis

• Gastric protection with a proton pump inhibitor or a H2 antagonist may be considered in


patients considered at high risk of GI ulceration or bleed.

• In female patients consider norethisterone 5mg three times a day oral to delay
menstruation

• Anti-infective prophylaxis as follows:

- aciclovir 400mg twice a day oral


- pentamidine 300mg nebule once a month
- fluconazole 50mg once a day

Stem Cell Mobilisation

• Haematopoietic stem cells may be mobilised from cycle 2 onwards in patients with
demonstrated clinical and radiological response. Mobilisation with G-CSF (equivalent
to filgrastim or bioequivalent 10mcg/kg/day) should start from 24 hours following the
final dose of chemotherapy. Stem cell harvest can usually be attempted from day 13
following the first day of MATRix.

Additional Information

• A significant number of drugs interact with intravenous methotrexate. At the doses


used in this protocol this can lead to significant toxicity or reduction in efficacy.
Always check for drug interactions. These include penicillins, aspirin, co-trimoxazole
and NSAIDs. Tazocin should NOT be used during high dose methotrexate
administration or rescue. Consider using meropenem or other alternative. Review
indications for aspirin and NSAIDs and consider stopping during methotrexate
treatment.
