Description

Introduction to Mitomycin injection

  • The alkylating medication Mitomycin is recommended for treating adult patients with low-grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (LG-UTUC).

Dosage and Side Effects

  • Usage Guidelines: Jelmyto is meant for use directly in the pyelocalyceal area. It should not be used intravenously, topically, or taken by mouth. 
  • Pre-Instillation Preparation: Take 1.3 grams of sodium bicarbonate orally the night before, in the morning, and 30 minutes before the instillation procedure. This adds up to a total of 3.9 grams.
  • Installation Dosage: The recommended dose of Jelmyto to be instilled is 4 milligrams per milliliter through a ureteral catheter or nephrostomy tube. The total instillation volume should be determined using pyelography measurements, capped at 15 milliliters (equivalent to 60 milligrams of Jelmyto).
  • Treatment Schedule: Administer Mitomycin 40 mg once a week for six weeks. If a patient shows a complete response three months after starting Jelmyto, subsequent installations may be given once a month for a maximum of 11 additional sessions.

The most frequent side effects (≥20%) include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dysuria, ureteric blockage, flank discomfort, urinary tract infection, hematuria, and renal failure.

Warning and Precautions

  • Ureteric Obstruction: There’s a chance that this will happen. Patients should be kept an eye out for ureteric blockage symptoms and indicators. Using temporary or permanent ureteral stents or other operations may be necessary. Mitomycin should be withheld or stopped permanently, depending on how severe the ureteric blockage is. 
  •  Bone Marrow Suppression: Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia could manifest. Observe the blood counts. Depending on the severity, withhold or stop using Mitomycin completely.
  • Embryo-fetal toxicity: May be harmful to the fetus.
