Understanding Zaltrap and Its Medical Uses

Zaltrap (ziv-aflibercept) is a recombinant fusion protein approved by the FDA, in combination with FOLFIRI (fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan) chemotherapy, for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) that is resistant to or has progressed following an oxaliplatin-containing regimen.

How Zaltrap Works

Zaltrap is a fusion protein that binds to and neutralizes vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A, VEGF-B) and placental growth factor (PlGF), proteins involved in the formation of new blood vessels that tumors rely on for growth. By blocking this angiogenesis pathway, Zaltrap helps slow tumor growth and spread.

Approved Patient Population

Zaltrap is intended for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer whose disease has progressed despite prior oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, used in combination with FOLFIRI as a second-line treatment option.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dose of Zaltrap is 4 mg/kg based on actual body weight, administered as an intravenous infusion over 1 hour, every 2 weeks, in combination with FOLFIRI chemotherapy.

Warnings and Precautions for Zaltrap

Zaltrap does not carry a formal FDA boxed warning. However, patients and prescribers should be aware of the following important safety information.

Hemorrhage

Severe and sometimes fatal bleeding events, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage, have been reported. Zaltrap should be discontinued in patients who develop severe bleeding.

Gastrointestinal Perforation

Cases of gastrointestinal perforation, sometimes fatal, have occurred. Zaltrap should be permanently discontinued if perforation occurs.

Impaired Wound Healing and Fistula Formation

Zaltrap should be suspended prior to elective surgery, and treatment should not be resumed until adequate wound healing has occurred, given the risk of impaired healing and fistula formation.

Hypertension and Arterial Thromboembolic Events

Severe hypertension and arterial thromboembolic events, including stroke and heart attack, have been reported. Blood pressure should be monitored and controlled during treatment.

Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome (RPLS)

RPLS has been reported. Zaltrap should be discontinued if RPLS is confirmed.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Zaltrap may cause fetal harm. Effective contraception should be used during treatment and for a period after the final dose, as advised by the treating physician.

Documentation and Availability of Zaltrap

Zaltrap is manufactured and marketed by Sanofi-Aventis. It is sourced through authorized distribution channels for patients seeking named-patient import into India.

Required Documentation

Patients typically need a valid prescription from a treating oncologist confirming metastatic colorectal cancer diagnosis and prior oxaliplatin-based treatment history. NPP's regulatory team assists in preparing and verifying the documentation needed for a compliant import.
