Abstract
- Cisplatin (CDDP) is a key drug in the systemic treatment of various solid tumors. Brand-name CDDP may differ across generic formulations considering various clinical parameters. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to assess the safety of a generic CDDP formulation. To compare brand-name CDDP with a generic formulation, the incidence of adverse events, especially renal toxicity, was investigated in 500 patients with thoracic malignancies who received chemotherapy with more than 60 mg/m2 of either brand-name or generic CDDP. We compared the maximum serum creatinine (Cr) level after chemotherapy in the 2 groups. The correlation coefficients between the pretreatment Cr and the maximum Cr after CDDP administration did not differ between brand-name CDDP and generic CDDP (0.610 and 0.644, respectively; p=0.528). Furthermore, the correlation coefficients did not differ in subgroup analysis according to sex or adjuvant therapy. The severity of adverse events was similar in the 2 groups. In conclusion, generic CDDP can safely be used as an alternative to brand-name CDDP in the clinical setting.
