hydroxyurea talimogene laherparepvec
Applies to: Hydrea (hydroxyurea), talimogene laherparepvec
CONTRAINDICATED: Talimogene laherparepvec is a live, attenuated herpes simplex virus. Administration during immunosuppressant or intense antineoplastic therapy may be associated with a risk of potentially life-threatening disseminated herpetic infection due to enhanced virus replication in the presence of diminished immune competence. Patients may be immunosuppressed if they have recently received or are receiving alkylating agents, antimetabolites, radiation, some antirheumatic agents, high dosages of corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic agents, or long-term topical or inhaled corticosteroids.
MANAGEMENT: Talimogene laherparepvec should not be used in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy or cancer chemotherapy. Treatment with talimogene laherparepvec may need to be deferred until after such therapy is discontinued and the patient's immune system has sufficiently recovered.
