The safety and efficacy of treosulfan in children less than 1 month of age has not yet been established. Elderly No dose adjustment is necessary in any subset of the elderly population. 3). 4 Method of administration Treosulfan is for intravenous use as a two-hour infusion.
Summary of the safety profile Profound myelosuppression/pancytopenia is the desired therapeutic effect of conditioning therapy and occurs in all patients. Blood cell counts usually recover after HSCT. 6%). Adults Tabulated list of adverse reactions The frequencies of adverse reactions reported in the table below are derived from 5 clinical trials (including a total of 613 patients) where treosulfan combined with fludarabine was investigated as conditioning treatment prior to alloHSCT in adult patients.
Treosulfan was administered in a dose range of 10–14 g/m² BSA on 3 consecutive days. 7 Adverse reactions are listed below, by system organ class and by frequency: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1 000 to < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10 000 to < 1/1 000), very rare (< 1/10 000) and not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).

Myelosuppression Profound myelosuppression with pancytopenia is the desired therapeutic effect of treosulfan-based conditioning treatment, occurring in all patients. It is therefore recommended to monitor blood cell counts frequently until recovery of the haematopoietic system.
5 days in adults and 20-22 days in paediatric patients) the risk of infection is increased. Prophylactic or empiric anti-infective treatment (bacterial, viral, fungal) should therefore be considered. Growth factors (G-CSF, GM-CSF), platelet and/or red blood cell support should be given as indicated.
Secondary malignancies Secondary malignancies are well-established complications in long-term survivors after alloHSCT. How much treosulfan contributes to their occurrence is unknown. The possible risk of a second malignancy should be explained to the patient.
On the basis of human data, treosulfan has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a human carcinogen. 8). g. topical antimicrobials, barrier protectants, ice and adequate oral hygiene) is recommended.
Vaccines Concomitant use of live attenuated vaccines is not recommended. Fertility 5 Treosulfan can impair fertility. Therefore, men treated with treosulfan are advised not to father a child during and up to 6 months after treatment and to seek advice on cryo-conservation of sperm prior to treatment because of the possibility of irreversible infertility due to therapy with treosulfan.
6). Paediatric population Seizures There have been isolated reports of seizures in infants (≤ 4 months of age) with primary immunodeficiencies after conditioning treatment with treosulfan in combination with fludarabine or cyclophosphamide.
Therefore, infants ≤ 4 months of age should be monitored for signs of neurological adverse reactions. Although it cannot be proved that treosulfan was the cause, the use of clonazepam prophylaxis for children younger than 1 year might be considered.

Precautions to be taken before handling or administering the medicinal product When handling treosulfan, inhalation, skin contact or contact with mucous membranes should be avoided. Pregnant personnel should be excluded from handling cytotoxics.
4). 6.
Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders There was a significant association between age and respiratory toxicity in paediatric patients treated with treosulfan-based conditioning. Children younger than one year (mainly non-malignant diseases, especially immunodeficiencies) experienced more respiratory grade III/IV toxicity, possibly due to pulmonary infections already existing before the start of conditioning treatment.
Dermatitis diaper Dermatitis diaper may occur in small children because of excretion of treosulfan in the urine. Therefore, nappies should be changed frequently up to 6–8 hours after each infusion of treosulfan. Extravasation Treosulfan is considered an irritant.
Intravenous application should be performed using a safe technique. If extravasation is suspected, general safety measures should be implemented. No specific measure has been proven to be recommendable.
