Toxicity of trabectedin-based combinations in the treatment of different malignant tumors

Abstract

Antitumor activity of trabectedin as a monotherapy in different solid tumors (soft tissue sarcoma, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, melanoma) contributed to research trabectedin-based drug combinations. Phase I trials were searching for optimal dose and schedule of administration trabectedin and trabectedin-based combinations. This review considers aspects of clinical applications and toxic profile of trabectedin alone and combinations, including a rare adverse event – rhabdomyolysis and data of own experience.
