The administration of drugs deemed hazardous to humans has
been receiving increasing amounts of scrutiny in recent
years as the dangers of these substances become more clearly
understood. For caregivers and their patients, the
therapeutic area that is at the forefront of attempts to
mitigate exposure to cytotoxic drugs is clinical oncology, a
field that – in spite of promising new drugs based on
therapeutic antibodies – continues to rely heavily on
antineoplastics, a class that includes alkylating agents and
antimetabolites, to treat a wide range of cancers.
Regulatory and industry efforts to create standards and
procedures designed to protect workers and patients from
accidental and incidental exposure to cytotoxics are being
driven by data that suggests a causal link between exposure
and health issues. Studies of nurses who work with cytotoxic
drugs on a regular basis have found a statistically higher
rate of spontaneous abortion. Several companies are
responding to this unmet need by commercializing devices for
closed transfer of these drugs. As the market evolves and
user acceptance increases, so too will the impact of these
products on oncology therapy protocols and drug delivery |
