JEVTANA (cabazitaxel) injection is an antineoplastic agent belonging to the taxane class that is for intravenous use. It is prepared by semi-synthesis with a precursor extracted from yew needles. The chemical name of cabazitaxel is (2a,5ĂŸ,7ĂŸ,10ĂŸ,13a)-4-acetoxy-13-({(2R,3S)-3-[(tertbutoxycarbonyl) amino]-2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoyl}oxy)-1-hydroxy-7,10-dimethoxy-9-oxo-5,20-epoxytax-11-en-2-yl benzoate – propan-2-one (1:1). Cabazitaxel has the following structural formula. Cabazitaxel is a white to almost-white powder with a molecular formula of C45H57NO14C3H6O and a molecular weight of 894.01 (for the acetone solvate) / 835.93 (for the solvent free). It is lipophilic, practically insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol. JEVTANA (cabazitaxel) injection 60 mg/1.5 mL is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, clear yellow to brownish-yellow viscous solution and is available in single-dose vials containing 60 mg cabazitaxel (anhydrous and solvent free) and 1.56 g polysorbate 80 (citric acid monohydrate is used to adjust the pH of the polysorbate 80 between 3.3 to 3.8). Each mL contains 40 mg cabazitaxel (anhydrous) and 1.04 g polysorbate 80. DILUENT for JEVTANA is a clear, colorless, sterile, and non-pyrogenic solution containing 13% (w/w) ethanol in water for injection, approximately 5.7 mL. JEVTANA requires two dilutions prior to intravenous infusion. JEVTANA injection should be diluted only with the supplied DILUENT for JEVTANA, followed by dilution in either 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% dextrose solution.
