Determination of Bendamustine, Gemcitabine and Vinorelbine (BEGEV) regimen in spiked human plasma using multivariate...

Combination of bendamustine (BEN), gemcitabine (GEM), and vinorelbine (VIB), (BEGEV) regimen, has been proved to be a tolerable, safe and effective regimen in relapsed/refractory classical hodgkin lymphoma (R/R cHL). Two chemometric models named principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) were established for determination and quantification of BEN, GEM and VIB simultaneously in the ranges of 5-25 µg/mL for each of BEN and VIB, while in the range of 10 -30 µg/mL for GEM in pure and spiked plasma using their UV absorbance. The updated methods have been proven their ability to predict the concentrations of the studied drugs and validated according to FDA guidelines showing good results. There was no significant difference between the developed methods and the reported LC-MS/MS method upon statistical comparison was applied. Furthermore, the updated chemometric methods have advantages of being sensitive, accurate and cost effective for estimation of BEN, GEM and VIB and monitoring their concentration.
