Drug Facts

ClassMarine-derived alkylating agent (tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid; minor-groove DNA binder)
MechanismBinds the minor groove of DNA at guanine N2, bending the helix toward the major groove and inducing transcription-coupled nucleotide-excision repair–dependent DNA double-strand breaks. Modulates the tumor microenvironment by depleting tumor-associated macrophages.
Typical dosingSarcoma (single-agent): 1.5 mg/m² IV over 24 h every 21 days via central line, with mandatory dexamethasone 20 mg IV 30 min pre-dose. Ovarian (with PLD per OVA-301): 1.1 mg/m² IV over 3 h every 21 days given immediately after PLD 30 mg/m².

Notes

Ovarian: OVA-301 (Monk et al., JCO 2010, PMID 20194850) — phase 3 trabectedin + PLD vs PLD alone in relapsed ovarian; PFS 7.3 vs 5.8 mo overall (HR 0.79); benefit greatest in partially-platinum-sensitive (PFI 6-12 mo) subgroup. Mandatory premedication with dexamethasone reduces hepatic and emetogenic toxicity. Central line required. Cumulative cardiotoxicity risk additive to anthracycline exposure — baseline and serial LVEF monitoring mandatory in PLD combination.
