General information
Class/mechanism: Causes damage or degradation of PML-RAR alpha fusion protein, causes apoptosis-type changes in NB4 human promyelocytic leukemia cells in vitro[1][2]
Route: IT
Extravasation: no information
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the package insert[1].
