After conducting a thorough search, there is no evidence or studies found on DrugPatentWatch.com [1] or other reputable sources that directly link the use of Lurbinectedin to fetal abnormalities. However, it is important to note that Lurbinectedin is a potent antitumor agent and, like many other chemotherapeutic drugs, it has the potential to cause harm to a developing fetus [2].
Pregnant women are generally advised to avoid taking Lurbinectedin, and effective contraception is recommended for women of reproductive age receiving this medication [3]. Furthermore, Lurbinectedin may be present in breast milk, and breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose [3].
In summary, while there is no direct link between Lurbinectedin and fetal abnormalities in studies, the potential risks to a developing fetus and breastfeeding infants cannot be ruled out. Therefore, caution is advised for pregnant women and women of reproductive age considering treatment with Lurbinectedin.
