Vegfxta

Vegfxta Solution for Infusion is approved for the treatment of cancer of the colon or rectum that has spread to other parts of the body. It must be given along with chemotherapy. Other types of cancers that it helps with includes certain types of lung cancer, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor).

Vegfxta Solution for Infusion is given as an infusion. That means you get it through a small needle in your vein or through a port, which is a device placed under your skin. Your doctor will decide your dose and duration and will monitor you for signs of an infusion reaction.

You keep taking Vegfxta Solution for Infusion as long as your disease is controlled and your side effects are manageable. Your doctor will determine whether you should stop taking Vegfxta Solution for Infusion. If your cancer progresses during this initial treatment, talk to your doctor if a different chemotherapy may be an option.

Chemotherapy is still needed along with taking Vegfxta Solution for Infusion. It makes chemotherapy work better.
