Medroxyprogesterone acetate plasma levels were measured in advanced cancer patients after multiple PO or IM administration (500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 mg/day PO and 500, 1000, 2000 mg/day IM for 30 days). After PO administration, the plasma concentration rises quickly and plateau level is

β¦ Synopsis
Administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate IP in advanced cancer with peritoneal metastases and ascitic effusion generates considerably higher drug plasma levels than those observed after PO or IM treatment. Comparison of areas under the time-concentration curves (AUC) with reference to the three administration routes indicates that after oral administration only 0.2%-17.4% (mean 5.7%; SD 3.77; 40 patients) of the administered dose is absorbed; after IM treatment a daily absorption of 0.7%-7.7% (mean 2.5%; SD 1.66; 30 patients) of the administered dose per injection site was computed.

Twenty-three evaluable patients with advanced breast cancer were treated with MPA, 1,400 mg/m2 daily PO for the first 6 months, and 500 mg/m2 daily PO thereafter. The median total dose was 191,400 mg in 88 days, with the maximum dose given to date 522,600 mg in 282 days. Most patients tolerated high
The effects of oral MPA, 300 mg t.i.d., on adrenal function in postmenopausal patients with disseminated breast cancer were evaluated. The levels of serum cortisol, ACTH, androstenedione, DHEA-S, LH, FSH, GH, and prolactin in 22 patients receiving MPA were compared with those in another group of 28
After simultaneous administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) 1,000 mg PO and 1,000 mg IM to ten cancer patients, we observed mean plasma MAP profiles that could be exactly superimposed on the two absorption/decay curves obtained after administration of single doses IM or PO. Treatment with
