medication<\/a> used to treat small-cell lung cancer. The FDA first approved this medication on June 15, 2020 [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/drug-approvals-and-databases\/fda-grants-accelerated-approval-lurbinectedin-metastatic-small-cell-lung-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cancer has spread to other parts of your body and other medications (e.g., platinum-based chemotherapy) haven\u2019t worked well, ask your oncologist if this treatment is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zepzelca is a chemotherapy medication called an alkylating agent. It works by attaching to the DNA (genetic material) of the cancer cells to stop their ability to grow and multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is given through an <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmainfusioncenter.com\/treatment-care\/\">infusion<\/a> through the veins (intravenous or IV), which takes about 1 hour. Some common side effects include tiredness, diarrhea, nausea, and constipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-zepzelca-used-for\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Zepzelca_Used_for\"><\/span>What Is Zepzelca Used for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use Zepzelca when your small-cell lung cancer has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Spread to other parts of your body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gotten worse after you had other treatments like platinum-based chemotherapy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the FDA approved this medication quickly based on how well it worked and how long the benefits lasted. However, its continued approval depends on further studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-it-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_It_Work\"><\/span>How Does It Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zepzelca is an alkylating agent.

This raises your chance of getting life-threatening infections. During treatment, the provider will regularly monitor your white blood cell counts. If your white blood cells become too low, your provider may adjust your dose or delay treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Liver Problems:<\/strong> Zepzelca chemotherapy medication can damage your liver. Symptoms of liver problems include loss of appetite, pain on the right side of your stomach, and nausea or vomiting. Liver function tests (LFTs) are blood results that can indicate how healthy your liver is. Your provider will regularly monitor your LFTs during Zepzelca treatment to ensure your liver is healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Severe Muscle Problems:<\/strong> This medication can cause severe muscle pain or weakness. Inform your provider immediately if you encounter these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leakage of Zepzelca Out of Your Vein During the Infusion:<\/strong> If Zepzelca leaks out of your vein during the infusion, it can damage the surrounding tissue and cause tissue death. If this happens, you will need urgent treatment at a hospital. During the infusion, if you see any leakage out of your vein or feel sudden pain or burning around the infusion site, tell your provider immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that this is not a list of all possible side effects. If you encounter any severe side effects, consult your provider immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-clinical-benefits-of-zepzelca\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Clinical_Benefits_of_Zepzelca\"><\/span>What Are the Clinical Benefits of Zepzelca?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A clinical study was conducted on 105 patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) whose cancer got worse after receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. All the patients in the study received Zepzelca. Researchers found that 35% of all patients receiving this drug saw a reduction in their tumor size, with a median response of 5.3 months [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/drug-approvals-and-databases\/fda-grants-accelerated-approval-lurbinectedin-metastatic-small-cell-lung-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a>]. Compared to traditional medications, Zepzelca was more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-zepzelca-dosing-information\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zepzelca_Dosing_Information\"><\/span>Zepzelca Dosing Information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get Zepzelca as an intravenous infusion. <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/ig-home-infusion\/\">Home infusion treatments<\/a> take about an hour to complete. You may also receive some anti-nausea medications shortly before the infusion to help prevent nausea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dosage depends on your body&#8217;s surface area. The usual dose is 3.2 mg\/m2 given once every 21 days. You will continue receiving this treatment until your cancer worsens or you experience bothersome or serious side effects [<a href=\"https:\/\/pp.jazzpharma.com\/pi\/zepzelca.en.USPI.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your provider will determine the right dosage for you based on your specific clinical situation. So, always follow your provider\u2019s advice. Your prescriber will also regularly monitor you during treatment to manage any side effects you might be experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-before-receiving-zepzelca\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_Receiving_Zepzelca\"><\/span>Before Receiving Zepzelca<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start your chemotherapy treatment with Zepzelca:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tell your provider if you are allergic to lurbinectedin or any of the ingredients in lurbinectedin injection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inform your provider if you are pregnant or want to become pregnant. The medication may harm your unborn baby, so it shouldn\u2019t be taken during pregnancy. If you are a female, able to become pregnant, and are receiving Zepzelca, you should use birth control during the treatment and for 6 months after the final dose. If you are a male recipient with a female partner who\u2019s able to get pregnant, you should use birth control during the treatment and for 4 months after the final dose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tell your provider all of your medical history. Inform them about all the medications that you are currently taking, including over-the-counter and herbal medications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inform your provider if you are breastfeeding. You should not breastfeed during treatment and for at least 2 weeks after your final dose due to potential harm and side effects to your baby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div  id=\"call-to-action-3174dbab4bd6b245cd3f0a7315119aac\" style=\"\" class=\"ct_call_to_action\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"block-wrap cta\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-column\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta_headings\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cta__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet Copay Assistance Now\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cta_btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"tel:(866) 631-1684\">(866) 631-1684<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-zepzelca-cost\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zepzelca_Cost\"><\/span>Zepzelca Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zepzelca is available as a powder for injection, with a strength of 4 mg per vial. The cost can vary significantly based on your location, treatment plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/insurances-networks-accepted\/\">insurance coverage<\/a>, and the pharmacy you visit. However, on average, each vial of Zepzelca costs around $6,470 [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK596585\/table\/tr826986112990281_ch02_t07\/?report=objectonly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the overall treatment cost is very high. Before beginning your treatment, you should consult your provider and health insurance company about the cost. You should also explore various <a href=\"https:\/\/ameripharmaspecialty.com\/financial-assistance\/\">financial assistance programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some frequently asked questions about Zepzelca:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Does Zepzelca cause hair loss?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Hair loss is a side effect of chemotherapy treatment with Zepzelca. In clinical trials, about 1% of patients receiving the medication experienced hair loss [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zepzelca.com\/static\/pdfs\/digital-patient-brochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5<\/a>]. Consult your prescriber for possible remedies if you experience hair loss during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Can I use Zepzelca if I have liver problems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have mild liver problems, then you can use Zepzelca. There is no need for dosage adjustments. However, there is still no data on patients with moderate to severe liver problems [<a href=\"https:\/\/pp.jazzpharma.com\/pi\/zepzelca.en.USPI.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a>]. In such cases, you should consult your provider for further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. What should I avoid while taking Zepzelca?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While taking this medication, you should take some precautions and avoid certain things to minimize side effects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It can weaken your immune system. This makes you more likely to get infections. So, to decrease your chance of getting infections, you should avoid close contact with people who are sick and practice good hygiene.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should avoid drinking alcohol.
