Oncology Drug Reference Sheet: Lurbinectedin
In June 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to lurbinectedin (ZepzelcaTM) for adults with metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC) whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. The approval adds a second choice for patients who experience treatment-resistant SCLC progression, who previously had only topotecan as an option.
