WHAT JAVLOR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Javlor contains the active substance vinflunine, which belongs to a
group of anticancer medicines
called vinca alkaloids. These medicines affect cancer cell growth by
stopping cell division, leading to
cell death (cytotoxicity).
Javlor is used to treat advanced or metastatic cancer of the bladder
and urinary tract when a previous
therapy with platinum-containing medicines has failed.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Vinflunine treatment should be initiated under the responsibility of a
physician qualified in the use of
anticancer chemotherapy and is confined to units specialised in the
administration of cytotoxic
chemotherapy.
Before each cycle, adequate monitoring of complete blood counts should
be conducted to verify the
absolute neutrophil count (ANC), platelets and haemoglobin as
neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and
anaemia are frequent adverse reactions of vinflunine.
Posology
The recommended dose is 320 mg/m² vinflunine as a 20 minute
intravenous infusion every 3 weeks.
In case of WHO/ECOG performance status (PS) of 1 or PS of 0 and prior
pelvic irradiation, the
treatment should be started at the dose of 280 mg/m². In the absence
of any haematological toxicity
during the first cycle causing treatment delay or dose reduction, the
dose will be increased to
320 mg/m² every 3 weeks for the subsequent cycles.
_Recommended co-medication _
In order to prevent constipation, laxatives and dietary measures
including oral hydration are
