Chlorambucil is an orally administered alkylating agent which is currently used in the therapy of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and rarely in severe autoimmune conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, uveitis, and nephrotic syndrome. Chlorambucil therapy has been associated with low rates of serum enzyme elevations during therapy and with rare instances of an acute, clinically apparent injury.
Chlorambucil is a monocarboxylic acid that is butanoic acid substituted at position 4 by a 4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl group. A chemotherapy drug that can be used in combination with the antibody obinutuzumab for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It has a role as an alkylating agent, a carcinogenic agent, an antineoplastic agent, an immunosuppressive agent, and a drug allergen. It is a nitrogen mustard, an organochlorine compound, an aromatic amine, a tertiary amino compound, and a monocarboxylic acid.
Chlorambucil is an orally-active antineoplastic aromatic nitrogen mustard. Chlorambucil alkylates and cross-links DNA during all phases of the cell cycle, resulting in disruption of DNA function, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. (NCI04) A nitrogen mustard alkylating agent is used as antineoplastic agent for the treatment of various malignant and nonmalignant diseases. Although it is less toxic than most other nitrogen mustards, it has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985). (Merck Index, 11th ed)
Mechanism of Action
Alkylating agents work by three different mechanisms: 1) attachment of alkyl groups to DNA bases, resulting in the DNA being fragmented by repair enzymes in their attempts to replace the alkylated bases, preventing DNA synthesis and RNA transcription from the affected DNA, 2) DNA damage via the formation of cross-links (bonds between atoms in the DNA) which prevents DNA from being separated for synthesis or transcription, and 3) the induction of mispairing of the nucleotides leading to mutations.
or
As an alkylating agent, chlorambucil interferes with DNA replication and transcription of RNA and ultimately results in the disruption of nucleic acid function. In vitro studies have shown that the major metabolite of chlorambucil (phenylacetic acid mustard), which is also a bifunctional alkylating compound, has antineoplastic activity against some neoplastic human cell lines that are approximately equal to that of chlorambucil. Therefore, the major metabolite of chlorambucil may contribute to the in vivo antitumor activity of the drug. Chlorambucil also possesses some immunosuppressive activity, principally due to its suppression of lymphocytes. The drug is the slowest-acting and generally least toxic of the presently available nitrogen mustard derivatives.
Chlorambucil is an antineoplastic in the class of alkylating agents that is used to treat various forms of cancer. Alkylating agents are so named because of their ability to add alkyl groups to many electronegative groups under conditions present in cells. They stop tumor growth by cross-linking guanine bases in DNA double-helix strands – directly attacking DNA. This makes the strands unable to uncoil and separate. As this is necessary in DNA replication, the cells can no longer divide. In addition, these drugs add methyl or other alkyl groups onto molecules where they do not belong which in turn inhibits their correct utilization by base pairing and causes a miscoding of DNA. Alkylating agents are cell cycle-nonspecific. Alkylating agents work by three different mechanisms all of which achieve the same end result – disruption of DNA function and cell death.
Indications
- For treatment of chronic lymphatic (lymphocytic) leukemia, childhood minimal-change nephrotic syndrome, and malignant lymphomas including lymphosarcoma, giant follicular lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, and Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia.
- Chlorambucil is approved for palliative treatment of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (certain types).
- Chlorambucil is indicated in the treatment of chronic lymphatic (lymphocytic) leukemia, malignant lymphomas including lymphosarcoma, giant follicular lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s disease. It is not curative in any of these disorders but may produce clinically useful palliation.
- Chlorambucil is considered by many clinicians to be the drug of choice for the treatment of (Waldenstrom’s) macroglobulinemia.
- Chlorambucil has also been used effectively with prednisone in the treatment of children with minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (lipoid nephrosis, idiopathic nephrotic syndrome of childhood) who have frequent relapses, require corticosteroid therapy to maintain remissions, or whose disease is resistant to steroid therapy. In most of these children, chlorambucil and prednisone therapy has induced long-term remissions and decreased the frequency of relapses. Although this type of nephrotic syndrome only occasionally occurs in adults, it is treated similarly.

Dosage
Strengths: 2 mg
Hodgkin’s Disease
NOTE: The literature and/or local protocol should be consulted for full details of the treatment schedules used.
For initiation of therapy or for short courses of treatment:
- 0.1 to 0.2 mg/kg orally daily for 3 to 6 weeks as required; this usually amounts to 4 to 10 mg per day for the average patient; the entire daily dose may be given at one time
- The dosage should be adjusted according to the response of the patient and should be reduced as soon as there is an abrupt fall in the white blood cell count.
- Patients with Hodgkin’s disease usually require 0.2 mg/kg daily.
- Patients with other lymphomas or chronic lymphocytic leukemia usually require 0.1 mg/kg daily. When lymphocytic infiltration of the bone marrow is present, or when the bone marrow is hypoplastic, the daily dose should not exceed 0.1 mg/kg (about 6 mg for the average patient).
- Alternate schedules for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia employing intermittent, biweekly, or once-monthly pulse doses have been reported. Intermittent schedules begin with an initial single dose of 0.4 mg/kg. Doses are generally increased by 0.1 mg/kg until control of lymphocytosis or toxicity is observed. Subsequent doses are modified to produce mild hematologic toxicity. It is felt that the response rate of chronic lymphocytic leukemia to the biweekly or once-monthly schedule of administration is similar or better to that previously reported with daily administration and that hematologic toxicity was less than or equal to that encountered in studies using daily doses.

Pregnancy and Lactation
FDA Pregnancy Category D
Pregnancy
There is a possibility of birth defects if either the man or woman is taking chlorambucil at the time of conception, or if it is taken during pregnancy. Infertility may occur with the use of chlorambucil. Use effective birth control while taking this medication. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Lactation
This medication may pass into breast milk. Women taking this medication should not breastfeed. The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children.
How should this medicine be used?
Chlorambucil comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day for 3 to 6 weeks, but sometimes may be taken intermittently, as a single dose once every 2 weeks, or as a single dose once a month. The length of treatment depends on the types of drugs you are taking, how well your body responds to them, and the type of cancer you have. Take chlorambucil at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take chlorambucil exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor may adjust your dose of chlorambucil depending on your response to treatment and any side effects that you experience. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling during your treatment. Do not stop taking chlorambucil without talking to your doctor.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer’s information for the patient.
What special precautions should I follow?
