Amrubicin is a synthetic anthracycline antitumor agent used in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It acts primarily as a topoisomerase II inhibitor. Amrubicin is approved for use in some countries, such as Japan, primarily for lung cancer treatment.
Pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed in adult Japanese patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer following intravenous administration.
