4.2 Therapeutic Uses

Cetrorelix is indicated for the inhibition of premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation.

Novak, K.M. (ed.). Drug Facts and Comparisons2008 Edition. Wolters Kluwer Health. St. Louis, Missouri 2008., p. 353


/EXPL THER/ This randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind, experimental study was performed on 45 Wistar adult female rats ... . After the peritoneal implantation of endometrial tissue, rats were randomized to three equal intervention groups: (i) control group, (ii) leuprolide group, and (iii) cetrorelix group. Six weeks later, following implant volume measurements (volume-1) by performing a second laparotomy, saline (0.1 mL/rat) was administered subcutaneously to the control group once a week, leuprolide (0.075 mg/kg) subcutaneously to the leuprolide group twice at 4-week intervals and cetrorelix (0.001 mg/rat/day) subcutaneously to the cetrorelix group for 8 weeks. At the end of the treatment, by performing a third laparotomy, implant volumes were remeasured (volume-2) and implants were totally excised for histopathological examination. The volume-1 and volume-2 values within the groups, and stromal and glandular tissue scores between the groups were compared. In both the leuprolide group and the cetrorelix group, volume-2 as compared to volume-1 had significantly reduced (P < 0.01, P < 0.01 respectively), while there was no significant volume change in the control group (P > 0.05). In this group, when compared with the control group, glandular and stromal tissues had significantly lessened (P < 0.01, P < 0.01 respectively). Leuprolide and cetrorelix were found to have similar efficacy in the regression of both the size and the histological structure of experimental endometriotic implants.

4.3 Drug Warning

Cetrorelix should be prescribed by health care providers who are experienced in fertility treatment. Before starting treatment with cetrorelix acetate, pregnancy must be excluded.

Novak, K.M. (ed.). Drug Facts and Comparisons2008 Edition. Wolters Kluwer Health. St. Louis, Missouri 2008., p. 354


Elevations in liver function test results including ALT (SGPT), AST (SGOT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, GGTP), and alkaline phosphatase up to 3 times the upper limit of normal were reported in 1-2% of patients receiving cetrorelix during controlled ovarian stimulation.


Caution is advised in patients with hypersensitivity to GnRH. Carefully monitor these patients after the first injection. A severe anaphylactic reaction associated with cough, rash, and hypotension was observed in 1 patient after 7 months of treatment with 10 mg/day cetrorelix in a study for an indication unrelated to infertility.

4.4 Drug Indication

For the inhibition of premature LH surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation


FDA Label


Prevention of premature ovulation in patients undergoing a controlled ovarian stimulation, followed by oocyte-pick-up and assisted-reproductive techniques.

In clinical trials, Cetrotide was used with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG), however, limited experience with recombinant follicule-stimulating hormone (FSH) suggested similar efficacy.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Cetrorelix is a synthetic decapeptide with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonistic activity. GnRH induces the production and release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the gonadotrophic cells of the anterior pituitary. Due to a positive estradiol (E2) feedback at midcycle, GnRH liberation is enhanced resulting in an LH-surge. This LH-surge induces the ovulation of the dominant follicle, resumption of oocyte meiosis and subsequently luteinization as indicated by rising progesterone levels. Cetrorelix competes with natural GnRH for binding to membrane receptors on pituitary cells and thus controls the release of LH and FSH in a dose-dependent manner.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Rapidly absorbed following subcutaneous injection. The mean absolute bioavailability following subcutaneous administration to healthy female subjects is 85%.


Route of Elimination

Following subcutaneous administration of 10 mg cetrorelix to males and females, only unchanged cetrorelix was detected in urine.


Volume of Distribution

1.16 L/kg


Clearance

1.28 ml/minkg [adult healthy female with 3 mg single SC administration]


Following subcutaneous administration of 10 mg cetrorelix to males and females, only unchanged cetrorelix was detected in urine. In 24 hours, cetrorelix and small amounts of the (1-9), (1-7), (1-6), and (1-4) peptides were found in bile samples. 2-4% of the dose was eliminated in the urine as unchanged cetrorelix, while 5-10% was eliminated as cetrorelix and the four metabolites in bile. Therefore, only 7-14% of the total dose was recovered as unchanged cetrorelix and metabolites in urine and bile up to 24 hours. The remaining portion of the dose may not have been recovered since bile and urine were not collected for a longer period of time.

Pharmacokinetic studies were performed predominantly in rats and dogs. Absorption from the sc injection site was rapid and complete and there were no differences in absorption with regard to sex or species. A linear relationship between dose and plasma AUC was evident. Distribution of cetrorelix was rapid. Main target organs were the kidney, liver, small intestine and organs containing the luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor (pituitary gland, ovaries). Plasma protein binding amounted to 86%. Elimination from most tissues was rapid and occurred predominantly within 48 hr. ... Cetrorelix crosses the placenta only to a low extent. The distribution of cetrorelix or its metabolites into milk was not investigated. Cetrorelix is excreted unchanged into urine and after metabolism by peptidases into bile. ... Studies in healthy volunteers indicate that cetrorelix is excreted in a similar manner in humans, rats and dogs.

5.8 Mechanism of Action

Cetrorelix binds to the gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor and acts as a potent inhibitor of gonadotropin secretion. It competes with natural GnRH for binding to membrane receptors on pituitary cells and thus controls the release of LH and FSH in a dose-dependent manner.


Cetrotide competes with natural GnRH for binding to membrane receptors on pituitary cells and thus controls the release of LH and FSH in a dose-dependent manner. The onset of LH suppression is approximately one hour with the 3 mg dose and two hours with the 0.25 mg dose. This suppression is maintained by continuous treatment and there is a more pronounced effect on LH than on FSH. An initial release of endogenous gonadotropins has not been detected with Cetrotide, which is consistent with an antagonist effect.

GnRH induces the production and release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the gonadotrophic cells of the anterior pituitary. Due to a positive estradiol (E2) feedback at midcycle, GnRH liberation is enhanced resulting in an LH-surge.

The mechanisms through which luteinizing hormone (LH)-releasing hormone (LHRH) antagonists suppress pituitary gonadotroph functions and LHRH-receptor (LHRH-R) expression are incompletely understood. Consequently, we investigated the direct effect of LHRH antagonist cetrorelix in vitro on the expression of the pituitary LHRH-R gene and its ability to counteract the exogenous LHRH and the agonist triptorelin in the regulation of this gene. We also compared the effects of chronic administration of cetrorelix and triptorelin on the LHRH-R mRNA level and gonadotropin secretion in ovariectomized (OVX) and normal female rats. The exposure of pituitary cells in vitro to 3-min pulses of 1 nM LHRH or 0.1 nM triptorelin for 5 hr increased the LHRH-R mRNA level by 77-88%. Continuous perfusion of the cells with 50 nM cetrorelix did not cause any significant changes, but prevented the stimulatory effect of LHRH pulses on the receptor mRNA expression. In OVX rats, 10 days after administration of a depot formulation of cetrorelix, releasing 100 microg of peptide daily, the elevated LHRH-R mRNA level was decreased by 73%, whereas daily injection of 100 microg of triptorelin caused a 41% suppression. In normal female rats, cetrorelix treatment suppressed the LHRH-R mRNA level by 33%, but triptorelin increased it by 150%. The highly elevated serum LH levels in OVX rats and the normal LH concentration of cycling rats were rapidly and completely suppressed by cetrorelix. Triptorelin decreased the serum LH in OVX rats to the precastration level, but had no effect on basal LH in normal rats. Our results confirm that LHRH antagonists, such as cetrorelix, inhibit the gene expression of pituitary LHRH-R indirectly, by counteracting the stimulatory effect of LHRH. A rapid suppression of serum LH by LHRH antagonists would be advantageous in the treatment of sex hormone-dependent tumors and other conditions.

Cetrorelix binds with high affinity to luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) receptors, and labelled LHRH was shown to be displaced from the two classes of LHRH receptors by the compound. In vitro, cetrorelix dose-dependently inhibited the LHRH-mediated LH release in perfused rat pituitary cell systems. Further, in a recently established in vitro assay, cetrorelix proved to be a high affinity antagonist at the LHRH-receptor and dose-dependently blocked the signal transduction induced by LHRH.
