What is Jevtana?

Jevtana (cabazitaxel) is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Jevtana is used together with prednisone to treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

Jevtana is usually given after other cancer medicines have been tried without success.

Important information

You should not use Jevtana if you have severe liver disease, low white blood cell counts, or an allergy to any medicine that contains polysorbate 80.

Jevtana can weaken (suppress) your immune system, and you may get an infection or bleed more easily. Jevtana can also cause serious or fatal side effects on your lungs, kidneys, or stomach and intestines.

Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as: fever, cough, body aches, easy bruising or bleeding, burning when you urinate, decreased urination, swelling in your hands or feet, severe stomach pain, constipation, blood in your urine or stools, or sudden chest pain and shortness of breath.

A serious allergic reaction may occur during the injection. Tell your caregivers right away if you have a rash or skin redness, chest tightness or trouble breathing, or if you feel like you might pass out.

Before receiving this medicine

You should not use Jevtana if you are allergic to cabazitaxel, or if you have:

  • severe liver disease;

  • low white blood cell counts; or

  • an allergy to any medicine that contains polysorbate 80.

To make sure Jevtana is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • radiation treatment;

  • liver or kidney disease;

  • breathing problems;

  • stomach or intestinal bleeding; or

  • a severe allergic reaction to any medication.

Although not for use by women, cabazitaxel can cause birth defects in a baby if the mother or the father is using this medicine.

If you are receiving Jevtana and your sexual partner could become pregnant, use a condom or other form of birth control to prevent pregnancy during treatment. Keep using birth control for at least 3 months after your last dose of cabazitaxel. Tell your doctor at once if a pregnancy occurs during this time.

It is not known whether cabazitaxel passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.

How is Jevtana given?

Jevtana is injected into a vein through an IV. A healthcare provider will give you this injection. This medicine must be given slowly, and the infusion can take about 1 hour to complete.

Jevtana is usually given once every 3 weeks. You will be given other medications to prevent certain side effects.

Jevtana is used together with prednisone (a steroid medicine). You will most likely take prednisone by mouth every day throughout your treatment. You may also be given medications to prevent nausea and vomiting or infections. Follow your doctor’s dosing instructions very carefully.

Do not stop taking prednisone without your doctor’s advice, or you could have unpleasant side effects caused by cabazitaxel. Tell your doctor if you have missed any doses or have stopped taking prednisone for any reason.

Use all medications as directed by your doctor. Read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each medication. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without your doctor’s advice.

Call your doctor if you have ongoing vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. You can easily become dehydrated while receiving this medicine, which can lead to a serious electrolyte imbalance.

Jevtana can weaken (suppress) your immune system, and you may get an infection or bleed more easily. Your blood may need to be tested often. Your cancer treatments may be delayed based on the results of these tests.

Your doctor may tell you to check your temperature at home throughout your treatment with Jevtana.
