Cabazitaxel Accord

Cabazitaxel Accord is a cancer medicine used to treat men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. This is a cancer that affects the prostate gland that produces the liquid in semen (prostate fluid). Cabazitaxel Accord is used when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) despite treatments to prevent the production of testosterone or after surgical removal of the testes (castration). Cabazitaxel Accord is used in combination with prednisone or prednisolone (anti-inflammatory medicines) in patients who have previously been treated with docetaxel (another cancer medicine). Cabazitaxel Accord contains the active substance cabazitaxel and is a ‘hybrid’ and a ‘generic’ medicine. This means that it is similar to a reference medicine containing the same active substance, but comes in a different concentration and is prepared (diluted) differently. The reference medicine for Cabazitaxel Accord is Jevtana.
