Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprotective drugs such as carboxypeptidase-G2 may protect normal cells from the toxic effects of chemotherapy
PURPOSE Clinical trial to study the effectiveness of carboxypeptidase-G2 in treating nervous system toxic effects in patients given an accidental overdose of intrathecal methotrexate
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the effectiveness of carboxypeptidase-G2 rescue in patients who develop life threatening methotrexate MTX neurotoxicity following accidental intrathecal MTX overdose Study the CSF pharmacokinetics of MTX following rescue
OUTLINE Patients undergo a lumbar puncture as soon as possible after methotrexate overdose to remove methotrexate and receive a single dose of carboxypeptidase-G2 intrathecally over 5 minutes
Patients are followed for at least 1 month
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 10 patients will be accrued for this study
