Pharmacokinetics and metabolism of cyclophosphamide administered after total body irradiation of bone marrow transplant recipients.
High-dose cyclophosphamide is used immediately after total body irradiation (TBI) in conditioning for bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Possible interactions of the two treatment modalities were sought by measuring the blood pharmacokinetics of CP and 4-hydroxy-cyclophosphamide (4-HOCP) in patients undergoing BMT. There was a non-significant trend to a shorter half-life of CP compared to reported values. Exposure to 4-HOCP, the major metabolite of CP, did not appear to be altered by prior TBI of the patient.
