Cabazitaxel, sold under the brand name Jevtana, is a medication used to treat prostate cancer.[2] Specifically it is used for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have failed other treatment.[2] It is given by injection into a vein.[2]

Common side effects include low red blood cells, low white blood cells, low platelets, and diarrhea.[2] Other side effects may include allergic reactions and kidney problems.[3] It is a taxane which interferes with microtubules.[1]

Cabazitaxel was approved for medical use in the United States in 2010 and Europe in 2011.[3][2] In the United Kingdom 60 mg costs the NHS about £3,700 as of 2021.[4] This amount in the United States costs about 12,700 USD.[5]
