Trabectedina EVER Pharma contains the active ingredient trabectedin. Trabectedina EVER Pharma is an anticancer medication that works by preventing the multiplication of tumor cells.

Trabectedin is used to treat patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, when previous treatment with other medications has not been effective or when patients cannot use other medications. Soft tissue sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that begins in some part of the soft tissues, such as muscles, fat, or other tissues (for example, cartilage or blood vessels).

Trabectedin in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (DLP, another antitumoral medication) is used in the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer who have experienced a recurrence after at least 1 previous treatment and who are not resistant to anticancer medications containing platinum compounds.

No use trabectedina ever pharma

• if you are allergic to trabectedina or any of the other components of this medication

(listed in section 6);

• if you have a severe infection;
• if you are breastfeeding;
• if you are to be administered the yellow fever vaccine.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to use trabectedina.

You must not use trabectedina or its combination with DLP if you have severe liver, kidney or heart problems.

Consult your doctor before starting treatment with trabectedina, if you know or suspect that you have:

• liver or kidney problems.
• heart problems or a history of heart problems.
• a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below the lower limit of normal.
• received high doses of anthracyclines in the past.

Seek medical attention immediately if any of the following occur:

• if you have a fever, as trabectedina may cause side effects that affect the blood and liver.

• if, despite taking anti-vomiting medication, you experience nausea, vomiting, or are unable to drink liquids and, therefore, urinate less, seek medical attention immediately.

• if you experience intense muscle pain or weakness, as this could be a sign of muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis, see section 4).

• if you observe that the trabectedina infusion is leaking out of the vein during administration. This could damage or destroy the cells of the tissues near the injection site (tissue necrosis; see also section 4), which may require surgical intervention.

• if you experience an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity). In this case, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms: fever, difficulty breathing, redness or flushing of the skin or rash, dizziness or nausea, or vomiting (see section 4).

• if you experience general or partial swelling without apparent cause (edema), possibly accompanied by dizziness, vertigo, or thirst (low blood pressure). This could be a manifestation of a disorder (capillary leak syndrome) that may cause an excessive accumulation of fluid in your tissues, and requires urgent clinical evaluation by your doctor.

Children and adolescents

Trabectedina must not be used in children under 18 years with pediatric sarcomas.

Other medicines and Trabectedina EVER Pharma

Inform your doctor if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medicine.

You must not use trabectedina if you are to be vaccinated against yellow fever and it is not recommended to use it if you are to be administered a vaccine that contains live virus particles. It is not recommended to use medicines that contain phenytoin (for the treatment of epilepsy) withtrabectedina, as the effect of phenytoin may be reduced.

If you use any of the following medicines during your treatment with trabectedina, you need to be closely monitored as the effects of Trabectedina EVER Pharma are:

• reduced (for example, using medicines that contain rifampicin (for bacterial infections), phenobarbital (for epilepsy) or St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum, a medicinal plant used for the treatment of depression)) or

• increased (for example, medicines that contain ketoconazole or fluconazole (for fungal infections), ritonavir (for HIV infection), clarithromycin (for bacterial infections), aprepitant (to prevent nausea and vomiting), cyclosporin (inhibit the body's defense system) or verapamil (for hypertension and other heart conditions)).

The use of trabectedina with any of these medicines should be avoided if possible.

If, in addition to trabectedina or the combination of Trabectedina and DLP, you are being administered another medicine that can cause liver or muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis), you may be closely monitored as this could increase the risk of liver or muscle damage. Medicines that contain statins (to reduce cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease) are an example of medicines that can cause muscle damage.

Use of Trabectedina EVER Pharma with alcohol

You must avoid consuming alcohol during treatment with

trabectedina, as it may damage the liver.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility

Pregnancy

You must not use trabectedina during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Women of childbearing age must use effective contraceptive methods during treatment with trabectedina and for 3 months after treatment is completed.

If you become pregnant, you must inform your doctor immediately; in addition, it is recommended that you receive genetic counseling, as trabectedina may cause genetic damage to the fetus.

Breastfeeding

Trabectedina must not be administered to patients who are breastfeeding. Therefore, before starting treatment, you must stop breastfeeding and not resume it until your doctor confirms that it is safe to do so.

Fertility

Men of childbearing age must use effective contraceptive methods during treatment with trabectedina and for 5 months after treatment is completed.

Due to the risk of irreversible infertility, it is recommended that patients seek advice on the possibility of preserving their eggs or sperm before treatment.

Genetic counseling is also recommended for patients who wish to have children after treatment.

Driving and operating machinery

You may feel tired and experience a loss of strength during treatment with trabectedina. Do not drive or use tools or machinery if you experience any of these side effects.

Trabectedina EVER Pharma contains sodium

This medicine contains sodium, less than 1 mmol (23 mg) per vial; that is, it is essentially "sodium-free".

Trabectedina must be administered under the supervision of a doctor with experience in the use of chemotherapy. Its use should be limited to qualified oncologists and other specialized healthcare professionals in the administration of cytotoxic drugs.

The usual dose for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma is 1.5 mg/m2of body surface area. During the treatment period, your doctor will closely monitor you and decide on the most suitable dose of trabectedina for you. The recommended dose in Japanese patients is lower than the usual dose for other races and is 1.2 mg/m2of body surface area.

The usual dose for the treatment of ovarian cancer is 1.1 mg/m2of body surface area after administration of 30 mg/m2of body surface area of DLP.

Before administration, trabectedina must be reconstituted and diluted for intravenous use. Each time you are administered trabectedina for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma, you will need approximately 24 hours for the entire solution to pass into your blood. The treatment of ovarian cancer will last 3 hours.

To avoid irritation in the injection area, it is recommended that you be administered trabectedina through a central venous line.

To protect the liver and reduce the risk of adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting, you will be given other medications before the trabectedina treatment and as needed during the treatment.

You will receive a perfusion every 3 weeks, although occasionally your doctor may recommend delaying the dose so that you receive the most suitable dose of trabectedina.

The total duration of treatment will depend on your progress and how you feel. Your doctor will tell you how long your treatment may last. If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

Like all medicines, this medicine or its combination with DLP may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Instructions for use, preparation, handling and disposal

They must follow the correct procedures for proper handling and disposal of cytotoxic drugs. The disposal of unused medication and all materials that have come into contact with it will be carried out in accordance with local regulations for cytotoxic drugs.

The healthcare professional must have received training in the correct techniques for reconstitution and dilution ofTrabectedina EVER Pharmaor its combination with DLP and, during the reconstitution and dilution of the drug, they must wear protective clothing, including a mask, protective glasses and gloves. If you are pregnant, you should not work with this medication.

Preparation for intravenous infusion

Trabectedina EVER Pharma must be reconstituted and then diluted before infusion (see also section 3).Appropriate aseptic techniques must be used.

Trabectedina EVER Pharma should not be administered mixed with other medications that are not the diluent, in the same infusion. No incompatibilities have been observed between Trabectedina EVER Pharma and type I glass containers, or with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PE (polyethylene) bags and tubes, or with polyisoprene reservoirs or implantable vascular access systems made of titanium.

When Trabectedina EVER Pharma is used in combination with DLP, the intravenous route must be flushed well with 50 mg/ml (5%) glucose solution for infusion after administration of DLP and before administration of Trabectedina EVER Pharma. The use for infusion of a diluent other than 50 mg/ml (5%) glucose solution may cause precipitation of DLP. (See also the summary of characteristics of DLP, which contains specific instructions for its handling.)

Instructions for reconstitution

Trabectedina EVER Pharma 0.25 mg:inject 5 ml of sterile water for injection into the vial.

Trabectedina EVER Pharma 1 mg:inject 20 ml of sterile water for injection into the vial.

Use a syringe to inject the correct amount of sterile water for injection into the vial. Shake the vial until the drug is completely dissolved. The reconstituted solution is transparent, colorless or slightly yellowish, without visible particles.

The reconstituted solution has a concentration of 0.05 mg/ml of trabectedina. It requires further dilutions and is intended for single use.

Instructions for dilution

Dilute the reconstituted solution with a 9 mg/ml (0.9%) sodium chloride solution for infusion or a 50 mg/ml (5%) glucose solution for infusion. Calculate the volume needed as follows:

Volumen (ml) = SC (m2) x dose individual (mg/m2)

0.05 mg/ml

SC = body surface

Extract the appropriate amount of reconstituted solution from the vial; if the intravenous administration is to be performed through a central venous route, add the reconstituted solution to a infusion bag that contains ≥ 50 ml of diluent (9 mg/ml (0.9%) sodium chloride solution for infusion or 50 mg/ml (5%) glucose solution for infusion), with a trabectedina concentration in the infusion solution ≤ 0.030 mg/ml.

If it is not possible to use a central venous route and a peripheral venous route must be used, the reconstituted solution must be added to an infusion bag that contains ≥ 1,000 ml of diluent (9 mg/ml (0.9%) sodium chloride solution for infusion or 50 mg/ml (5%) glucose solution for infusion).

Before intravenous administration, a visual inspection of parenteral solutions will be performed to detect the possible presence of particles. The prepared infusion solution must be administered immediately.

Stability of the solutions during use

Reconstituted solution

After reconstitution, a chemical and physical stability of 30 hours up to 25 °C has been demonstrated.

From a microbiological point of view, the reconstituted solution must be diluted and used immediately. If it is not diluted and used immediately, the useful times and conditions for storage of the reconstituted solution before use will be the responsibility of the user, and normally should not exceed 24 hours at 2-8 °C, unless the reconstitution was performed in validated and controlled aseptic conditions.

Diluted solution

After dilution, a chemical and physical stability of 30 hours up to 25 °C has been demonstrated.
