Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE TEPADINA (thiotepa) is an alkylating drug indicated: To reduce the risk of graft rejection when used in conjunction with high-dose busulfan and cyclophosphamide as a preparative regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor (stem) cell transplantation (HSCT) for pediatric patients with class 3 beta-thalassemia. (1.1 , 14) For treatment of adenocarcinoma of the breast or ovary. (1.2) For controlling intracavitary effusions secondary to diffuse or localized neoplastic diseases of various serosal cavities. (1.3) For treatment of superficial papillary carcinoma of the urinary bladder. (1.4) 1.1 Class 3 Beta-Thalassemia TEPADINA is indicated to reduce the risk of graft rejection when used in conjunction with high-dose busulfan and cyclophosphamide as a preparative regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor (stem) cell transplantation (HSCT) for pediatric patients with class 3 beta-thalassemia [see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ] . 1.2 Adenocarcinoma of the Breast or Ovary TEPADINA is indicated for treatment of adenocarcinoma of the breast or ovary. 1.3 Malignant Effusions TEPADINA is indicated for controlling intracavitary effusions secondary to diffuse or local…
Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dosage of TEPADINA for class 3 beta-thalassemia is 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. (2.1) The recommended dosage of TEPADINA for treatment of adenocarcinoma of the breast or ovary is 0.3 mg/kg to 0.4 mg/kg by intravenous infusion. (2.1) The recommended dosage of TEPADINA for treatment of malignant effusions is 0.6 mg/kg to 0.8 mg/kg intracavitary. (2.1) The recommended dosage of TEPADINA for treatment of superficial papillary carcinoma of the urinary bladder is 60 mg in 30 mL to 60 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection into the bladder by catheter. (2.1) See Full Prescribing Information for preparation and administration instructions. (2.2 , 2.3) 2.1 Recommended Dosage Class 3 Beta-Thalassemia The recommended dosage of TEPADINA in pediatric patients is 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 as outlined in Table 1.

Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS TEPADINA is contraindicated in: Patients with severe hypersensitivity to thiotepa [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Concomitant use with live or attenuated vaccines [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Hypersensitivity to the active substance (4) . Concomitant use with live or attenuated vaccines (4) .
Drug Interactions
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 …
