• The safety and effectiveness of JEVTANA
• In pediatric patients have not been established
• JEVTANA was evaluated in 39
• Pediatric patients (ages 3 to 18 years) receiving prophylactic G-CSF
• The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 30 mg/m 2 intravenously over 1 hour on Day 1 of a 21 day cycle
• In pediatric patients with solid tumors based on the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of febrile neutropenia
• No objective responses were observed in 11 patients with refractory high grade glioma (HGG) or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). …

In the TROPIC study, of the 371 patients with prostate cancer treated with JEVTANA every three weeks plus prednisone, 240 patients (64.7%) were 65 years of age and over, while 70 patients (18.9%) were 75 years of age and over. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥65 years of age and younger patients. Elderly patients (≥65 years of age) may be more likely to experience certain adverse reactions. …

• Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information)
• Hypersensitivity Reactions Educate patients about the risk of potential hypersensitivity associated with JEVTANA
• Confirm patients do not have a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to cabazitaxel or to other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80
• Instruct patients to immediately report signs of a hypersensitivity reaction [see Contraindications and Warnings and Precautions ]
• Bone Marrow Suppression Inform patients that JEVTANA decreases blood count such as white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells. …

JEVTANA is contraindicated in patients with: neutrophil counts of ≤1,500/mm 3 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to cabazitaxel or to other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80 [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 × ULN) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] Neutrophil counts of ≤1,500/mm 3 ( 2.2 , 4 ) History of severe hypersensitivity to JEVTANA or polysorbate 80 ( 4 ) Severe hepatic impairment (Tota …

Avoid coadministration of JEVTANA with strong CYP3A inhibitors. If patients require coadministration of a strong CYP3A inhibitor, consider a 25% JEVTANA dose reduction. ( 2.4 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) 7.1 CYP3A Inhibitors Cabazitaxel is primarily metabolized through CYP3A [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, atazanavir, indinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, voriconazole) may increase plasma concentrations of cabazitaxel. Avoid the coadministration of JEVTANA with strong CYP3A inhibitors. …

Bone marrow suppression (particularly neutropenia) and its clinical consequences (febrile neutropenia, neutropenic infections, and death): Monitor blood counts frequently to determine if dosage modification or initiation of G-CSF is needed. Closely monitor patients with hemoglobin 1 to ≤1.5 × ULN or AST >1.5 × ULN) and moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to ≤3.0 × ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, based on tolerability data in these patients [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] . Administration of JEVTANA to patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment should be undertaken with caution and close monitoring of safety. …

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The safety and efficacy of JEVTANA have not been established in females. There are no human data on the use of JEVTANA in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, intravenous administration of cabazitaxel in pregnant rats during organogenesis caused embryonic and fetal death at doses lower than the maximum recommended human dose [see Data ] . …

There is no known antidote for JEVTANA overdose. Overdose has resulted from improper preparation [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . Read the entire section Dosage and Administration (2) carefully before mixing or diluting. Complications of overdose include exacerbation of adverse reactions such as bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal disorders. Overdose has led to fatal outcome. In case of overdose, the patient should be kept in a specialized unit where vital signs, chemistry and particular functions can be closely monitored. …
