New cutaneous toxicities with generic docetaxel: are the excipients guilty?

Abstract: Our study suggests that some toxic effects of docetaxel may be related to the excipients used in different formulations of the drug.

“…Similarly, a Canadian retrospective study of 364 cases comparing the toxicity between another generic docetaxel and Taxotere, showed less allergic reactions causing treatment discontinuation in the generic group [13]. Another retrospective study of 268 patients in Spain showed significantly fewer grade 3 and 4 HSRs in 2 generic docetaxel formulations compared to Taxotere [14]. Here, we reported the first prospective study to confirm the lower incidence of HSRs in generic docetaxel versus Taxotere.…”

“…Unlike in the paclitaxel cohort, the incidences of HSR were significantly different between generic and original docetaxel in this study. The previous retrospective study in Spain showed the lowest HSR incidence in the docetaxel with the lowest polysorbate 80 formulation compared to Taxotere [14]. In our study, Daxotel had the same amount of polysorbate 80 as Taxotere, i.e.…”

“…Esses requisitos legais para produção e comercialização não são suficientes para garantir a intercambialidade e diminuir a desconfiança e as reclamações quanto aos efeitos dos medicamentos genéricos 16 . 18 . Ainda em relação ao Docetaxel, um estudo comparativo entre o produto de referência e três outros produtos genéricos envolvendo 268 pacientes também mostrou diferenças nos riscos relativos de toxicidade dérmica compatíveis com os excipientes utilizados nas diferentes formulações 18 .…”

Em outro estudo, a comparação entre comprimidos de clopidogrel de três lotes do produto de referência e 18 outros produtos contendo o mesmo fármaco indicou níveis elevados de impurezas nos produtos genéricos.…”
