WHAT YONDELIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Yondelis contains the active substance trabectedin. Yondelis is an
anti-cancer medicine that works
by preventing the tumour cells from multiplying.
Yondelis is used for the treatment of patients with advanced soft
tissue sarcoma, when previous
medicines have been unsuccessful or the patients are unsuited to
receive them. Soft tissue sarcoma
is a malignant disease that starts somewhere in the soft tissues, such
as the muscles, fat or other
tissues (for example cartilages or vessels).
Yondelis in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD:
another anti-cancer medicine)
is used for the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer that has
come back after at least 1 previous
therapy and are not resistant to anti-cancer medicines containing
platinum compounds.
