“…In a comprehensive evaluation of nonliposomal VCR-related neuropathy, Haim et al reported a 92% peripheral neuropathy AE rate, 78% paraesthesia rate, and 10% Grade 3 and 4 constipation rate as a result of nonliposomal VCR 1.4 mg/m 2 dosed every 21 days as part of a multidrug regimen in previously untreated and VCR-naive NHL patients. 19 In our study, VSLI 2.0 mg/m 2 every 14 days in heavily pretreated, VCR exposed, and neuropathy-prone patients was associated with a 23% peripheral neuropathy rate, 32% paraesthesia rate, and 5% Grade 3 constipation rate. These AE rates likely reflect the optimized pharmacokinetic properties of liposomal encapsulated VCR in VSLI.…”
