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.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Cabazitaxel Accord in combination with prednisone or prednisolone is
indicated for the treatment of
adult patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer
previously treated with a
docetaxel-containing regimen (see section 5.1).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The use of cabazitaxel should be confined to units specialised in the
administration of cytotoxics and it
should only be administered under the supervision of a physician
experienced in the use of anticancer
chemotherapy. Facilities and equipment for the treatment of serious
hypersensitivity reactions like
hypotension and bronchospasm must be available (see section 4.4).
Premedication
The recommended premedication regimen should be performed at least 30
minutes prior to each
administration of cabazitaxel with the following intravenous medicinal
products to mitigate the risk and
severity of hypersensitivity:
•
antihistamine (dexchlorpheniramine 5 mg or diphenhydramine 25 mg or
equivalent),
•
corticosteroid (dexamethasone 8 mg or equivalent), and
•
H2 antagonist (ranitidine or equivalent) (see section 4.4).
Antiemetic prophylaxis is recommended and can be given orally or
intravenously as needed.
Throughout the treatment, adequate hydration of the patient needs to
be ensured, in order to prevent
complications like renal failure.
