Cardiac Safety of CAELYX™/Doxil® (PLD)
in animal models
• PLD (0.25-1 mg/kg) was less cardiotoxic than conventional
doxorubicin (1 mg/kg) in rats1
• The incidence of cardiotoxicity in rabbits treated with PLD (1
mg/kg) was 16% vs 67% with conventional doxorubicin (1
mg/kg)2
• There was no evidence of cardiotoxicity in dogs treated with
PLD (0.25-1 mg/kg) 1-5 weeks after treatment1, while mild
to moderate cardiomyopathy occurred in all dogs
treated with conventional doxorubicin (1 mg/kg)1

CAELYX™/ Doxil® (PLD)
Effect on LVEF
• A median CAELYX™/ Doxil® (PLD) dose of 660 mg/m2
(500 to 1500 mg/m2) was administered
• Median LVEF change by MUGA scan of –2% (–15% to +9%), no clinical
cardiac symptoms
• Five patients had LVEF decreases of more than 10%
• No correlation was found between cumulative dose
of PLD and change in LVEF
• Billingham scores ( semiquantitative histologic scoring system)
of cardiac biopsies were 0 to 1.5 with no cardiac symptoms

Rationale
• CAELYX : classical dosage
50 mg/m2/4 w
• CAELYX : less cardiotoxicity
But cutaneous toxicity = PPE
( Palmar-Plantar Erythro-dysesthesia )
• CAELYX : PPE = 49%
grade 3-4 = 23%
• Prevention : cold application on hands and foots
time and work consuming
