As the Tisagenlecleucel consists of whole cells which are not absorbed by the body, route of passage through gastrointestinal tract is difficult because of its larger size so it is administered intravenously and enter the blood stream. Intravenous drug administration is the best option as it is convenient for both the patient and blood is the intended target location for the drug as most of the leukemic cells are in the blood. Tisagenlecleucel is administered once [9]. Leukeran is administered orally in the form of a tablet. The usual dosage and frequency of leukeran is 0.1-0.2mg/kg*day for 3-6 weeks. It needs periodic blood controls to see if the WBC cells decrease excessively to check if there is any necessity to reduce the dosage or to stop the treatment permanently [10]. …show more content…
This time is enough for the reengineered cells to grow, divide and attack their targets and the remission stage for the patients was observed within 30 days after infusion indicating that one dose would be enough [2] whereas the half-life of leukeran on average at usual dose is about 1.5 hours [3]. The metabolism for Tisagenlecleucel is not applicable (as the cells die due to limited life span of T-cells) and the elimination is through normal pathways to eliminate dead cells [2]. Leukeran is metabolised in the liver to phenylacetic acid mustard which possess antineoplastic function. Both are degraded to monohydroxy and dihydroxy derivatives and excreted out as bile

Clinical trial results Results of a clinical trial involving 173 patients who failed the treatment of Ipilimumab, gave Keytruda its breakthrough designation. Patients were administered a dose of 2 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) or a higher dose of 10 mg/kg.

Makayla (Sequence): I too like to answer my test questions in order, but it is not a good idea to linger on one particular question for too long. This would certainly affect your grade on a timed test. My advice to Makayla would be to skip over any questions she is having problems with and try to come back to it only if time permits. At least then you would not have missed the rest of the test dwelling on one question.

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drugs at timed intervals in order to maintain a relatively constant concentration in a patient's bloodstream, thereby optimizing individual dosage regimens. It is not necessary to use therapeutic drug monitoring for all the of medications, and it is used mainly for monitoring drugs with some narrow therapeutic ranges, drugs with marked variability in pharmacokinetic, medications with target concentrations which are difficult to monitor, and drugs that are known to cause therapeutic and adverse effects. The process of therapeutic drug monitoring is based on the assumption that there is a specific relationship between dose and plasma or blood drug concentration, and between concentration and therapeutic effects.
