Lurbinectedin is a novel chemotherapy drug that has shown promising results in treating various types of cancers, including small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and sarcoma [1]. However, there is limited information available on the long-term effects of lurbinectedin.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2021 investigated the long-term safety and efficacy of lurbinectedin in patients with small cell lung cancer [2]. The study followed patients for up to 2 years and found that lurbinectedin was well-tolerated and had a durable antitumor activity in these patients. However, the study did not report any long-term side effects of the drug.
Another study published in the Journal of Hematology & Oncology in 2021 evaluated the safety and efficacy of lurbinectedin in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer [3]. The study reported that lurbinectedin had a manageable safety profile and showed promising efficacy in these patients. However, the study did not report any long-term effects of the drug.
In summary, while there are studies that have investigated the safety and efficacy of lurbinectedin in the short-term, there is limited information available on the long-term effects of the drug. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of lurbinectedin in patients with various types of cancers.
