A condition of metabolic abnormalities that result from a spontaneous or therapy-related cytolysis of tumor cells. Tumor lysis syndrome typically occurs in aggressive, rapidly proliferating lymphoproliferative disorders. Burkitt lymphoma and T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia are commonly associated with this syndrome. Metabolic abnormalities include hyperuricemia, lactic acidosis, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia and may result in renal failure, multiple organ failure, and death.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for tumor lysis syndrome has been reported in the published literature.
No approved treatments are currently available for tumor lysis syndrome. An additional 1 compound holds orphan drug designation.
While no drugs are FDA-approved specifically for tumor lysis syndrome, some of the following designated compounds may be used off-label in clinical practice. Treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a specialist familiar with this condition.
The following drugs have received orphan drug designation from the FDA for tumor lysis syndrome. Orphan designation reflects regulatory interest and does not indicate approval for treatment.
