Patient leaflet - Cabazitaxel 20 mg / ml concentrate for solution for infusion
1. What Cabazitaxel is and what it is used for
The name of your medicine is Cabazitaxel. It belongs to a group of medicines called "taxanes" used to treat cancers.
Cabazitaxel is used to treat prostate cancer that has progressed after having had other chemotherapy. It works by stopping cells from growing and multiplying.
As part of your treatment, you will also take a corticosteroid medicine (prednisone or prednisolone) by mouth every day. Ask your doctor to give you information about this other medicine.
2. What you need to know before you take Cabazitaxel
Do not use Cabazitaxel if:
you are allergic (hypersensitive) to cabazitaxel, to other taxanes, or polysorbate 80 or any of the other
excipients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
- the number of your white blood cells is too low (neutrophil counts less than or equal to 1,500 /mm3), • you have severe abnormal liver function,
- you have recently received or are about to receive a vaccine against yellow fever.
You should not be given Cabazitaxel if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor before having Cabazitaxel.
Warnings and precautions
Before each treatment with Cabazitaxel, you will have blood tests to check that you have enough blood cells and sufficient liver and kidney functions to receive Cabazitaxel.
Tell your doctor immediately if:
you have fever. During treatment with Cabazitaxel, it is more likely that your white blood cell count may
be reduced. Your doctor will monitor your blood and general condition for signs of infections. He/she may give you other medicines to maintain the number of your blood cells. People with low blood counts can develop life-threatening infections. The earliest sign of infection may be fever, so if you experience fever, tell your doctor right away.
you have ever had any allergies. Serious allergic reactions can occur during treatment with
Cabazitaxel.
you have severe or long lasting diarrhoea, you feel sick (nausea) or you are being sick (vomiting). Any
of these events could cause severe dehydration. Your doctor may need to treat you.
you have feeling of numbness, tingling, burning or decreased sensation in your hands or feet.
- you have any bleeding problems from the gut or have changes in the colour of your stool or stomach pain. If the bleeding or pain is severe, your doctor will stop your treatment with Cabazitaxel. This is because Cabazitaxel may increase the risk of bleeding or developing holes in the gut wall.
- you have kidney problems.
- you have yellowing of the skin and eyes, darkening of the urine, severe nausea (feeling sick) or vomiting, as they could be signs or symptoms of liver problems.
- you experience any significant increase or decrease in daily urinary volume. • you have blood in your urine.
If any of the above applies to you, tell your doctor immediately. Your doctor may reduce the dose of Cabazitaxel or stop the treatment.
Other medicines and Cabazitaxel
Please tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines. This includes medicines obtained without a prescription. This is because some medicines can affect the way Cabazitaxel works or Cabazitaxel can affect how other medicines work. These medicines include the following:
- ketoconazole, rifampicin (for infections);
- carbamazepine, phenobarbital or phenytoin (for seizures);
- St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) (herbal remedy for depression and other conditions).
- statins (such as simvastatin, lovastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, or pravastatin) (for reducing the cholesterol in your blood);
- valsartan (for hypertension);
- repaglinide (for diabetes).
Talk to your doctor before getting vaccinations while you are receiving Cabazitaxel.
Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility
Cabazitaxel should not be used in pregnant women or women of childbearing age not using contraception.
Cabazitaxel should not be used during breast feeding.
Use a condom during sex if your partner is or could become pregnant. Cabazitaxel could be present in your semen and may affect the foetus. You are advised not to father a child during and up to 4 months after treatment and to seek advice on conservation of sperm prior to treatment because Cabazitaxel may alter male fertility.
Driving and using machines
You may feel tired or dizzy when having this medicine. If this happens, do not drive or use any tools or machines until you feel better.
Cabazitaxel contains alcohol (ethanol)
This medicine contains 50 vol % of alcohol (ethanol) in each dosage unit which is equivalent to 1,185 mg per vial. The amount in one dose of this medicine is equivalent to less than 30 ml beer or 12 ml wine.
This medicine may be harmful for those suffering from alcoholism.
To be taken into account if you are in a high-risk group such as patients with liver disease, or epilepsy.
3. How to take Cabazitaxel
Instructions for use
Anti-allergic medicines will be given to you before you have Cabazitaxel to reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
- Cabazitaxel will be given to you by a doctor or a nurse.
- Cabazitaxel must be prepared (diluted) before it is given. Practical information for handling and administration of Cabazitaxel for doctors, nurses and pharmacists is provided with this leaflet.
- Cabazitaxel will be given by a drip (infusion) into one of your veins (intravenous use) in hospital for about an hour.
- As part of your treatment, you will also take a corticosteroid medicine (prednisone or prednisolone) by mouth every day.
The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only.
Preparation Guide for use with Cabazitaxel 20 mg/ml Concentrate for Solution for Infusion
This information supplements sections 3 and 5 for the user.
It is important that you read the entire content of this procedure prior to the preparation of the infusion solution.
Recommendations for the safe handling
Cabazitaxel is an antineoplastic agent and, as with other potentially toxic compounds, caution should be exercised when handling it and preparing its solutions. The use of gloves is recommended.
If Cabazitaxel concentrate or infusion solution should come into contact with skin, wash immediately and
thoroughly with soap and water. If it should come into contact with mucous membranes, wash immediately and thoroughly with water.
Cabazitaxel should only be prepared and administered by personnel trained in handling cytotoxic agents. Pregnant staff should not handle it.
Incompatibilities
This medicine must not be mixed with other medicines except those used for the dilutions. Shelf life and special precautions for storage
This medicinal product does not require any special storage conditions
After opening
The concentrate vials must be used immediately. If not used immediately, in-use storage times and conditions are the responsibility of the user. From a microbiological point of view, the two-step dilution
process must take place in controlled and aseptic conditions (see below “Preparation and administration precautions”).
Preparation of the ready-to-use infusion solution
DO NOT use other cabazitaxel medicinal products consisting of 2 vials (concentrate and solvent) with Cabazitaxel 20 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusion, which contains only 1 vial with 3 ml (60 mg/3 ml).
Cabazitaxel 20 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusion requires NO prior dilution with a solvent and is ready to add to the infusion solution.
The whole content of the vial should not be used completely without proper control of volume, i.e. extract the exact volume required from the vial for dilution to adequately control the concentration.
Step 1:
If the vials are stored under refrigeration, allow the required number of vials of cabazitaxel concentrate for solution for infusion to stand at 20–25 °C for 5 minutes before use. More than one vial of cabazitaxel 20 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusion may be necessary to obtain the required dose for the patient. Aseptically withdraw the required amount of cabazitaxel concentrate for solution for infusion using a calibrated syringe fitted with a 21G needle.
Each ml of the medicinal product contains 20 mg cabazitaxel.
As an example, a dose of 45 mg cabazitaxel would require 2.25 ml of cabazitaxel 20 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusion.
Step 2
The required volume of cabazitaxel concentrate for solution for infusion must be injected into a sterile PVC-free container of either 5 % glucose solution or 9 mg/ml (0.9 %) sodium chloride solution for infusion. The concentration of the infusion solution should be between 0.10 mg/ml and 0.26 mg/ml.
Step 3
Remove the syringe and mix the content of the infusion bag or bottle manually using a rocking motion.
Step 4
As with all parenteral products, the resulting infusion solution should be visually inspected prior to use.
As the infusion solution is supersaturated, it may crystallise over time. In this case, the solution must not be used and should be discarded.

How much and how often to have
The usual dose depends on your body surface area. Your doctor will calculate your body surface area
in square meters (m2) and will decide the dose you should have.
- You will usually have an infusion once every 3 weeks.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
