Teniposide, sold under the brand name Vumon, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in children.[1] It is a second line agent for this use.[1] Other uses may include small cell lung cancer and lymphoma.[2] It is given by injection into a vein.[1]

Common side effects include low white blood cells, low red blood cells, low platelets, inflammation in the mouth, nausea, hair loss, bleeding, fever, and allergic reactions.[1] Other side effects may include other cancers, tissue death at the site of injection, and low blood pressure.[1] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is in a class of drugs known as podophyllotoxin derivatives and is believed to work by interfering with the production of DNA.[1]

Teniposide was approved for medical use in the United States in 1992.[1] It has been sold in Europe since 1967 and Canada since 1984.[2][3] In the United States it costs about 2,100 USD per 50 mg dose as of 2021.[4] It is no longer commercially available in Canada.[3]
