21-day cycle for 6 to 8 cycles

Dose-adjustments

  • Start cycle 1 as described above.
  • Obtain CBCs twice per week for nadir measurements.
  • If nadir ANC >500, increase etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
  • If nadir ANC <500 on 1 or 2 measurements, use same doses as last cycle.
  • If nadir ANC <500 on at least 3 measurements, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
  • And/or if nadir platelet count <25 on at least 1 measurement, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
  • Dose adjustments below the cycle 1 starting dose only applies to cyclophosphamide. The lowest etoposide and doxorubicin would be dosed at is the original cycle 1 dose.
  • Can start new cycle every 21 days if ANC >1,000 and platelets >100. If counts are below those levels, check daily CBC and continue growth factor support until counts are adequate and next cycle can start.

Chemotherapy

  • Dexamethasone (Decadron) 40 mg IV over 15 minutes once per day on days 1 to 4
  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) as follows:
    • Patients younger than 70: 2000 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours Q12H x 2 doses on day 2 (total of 2 doses)
    • Patients older than 70: 1000 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours Q12H x 2 doses on day 2 (total of 2 doses)
  • Cisplatin (Platinol) 100 mg/m2 IV continuous infusion over 24 hours on day 1

Supportive medications

3 to 4 week cycle "according to the extent of myelosuppression"

Velasquez et al. 1988 report 6 to 10 courses, usually 4 courses beyond maximum response. The PARMA trial collected bone marrow after cycle 1 and then randomized responders (PR/CR) after cycle 2 to 4 more courses of DHAP versus autologous stem-cell transplant (ASCT).
