Half-dose glucarpidase as efficient rescue for toxic methotrexate levels in patients with acute kidney injury.

Purpose: High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX)-associated acute kidney injury with delayed MTX clearance has been linked to an excess in MTX-induced toxicities. Glucarpidase is a recombinant enzyme that rapidly hydrolyzes MTX into non-toxic metabolites. The recommended dose of glucarpidase is 50 U/kg, which has never been formally established in a dose finding study in humans.
