Endo Pharma reintroduces Valstar
Endo Pharmaceuticals has reintroduced Valstar (valrubicin) for the treatment of carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the urinary bladder that is refractory to treatment with Bacillus-Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Valstar represents alternative for patients who have otherwise exhausted all other FDA-approved treatment alternatives, including BCG. Valstar, which is a sterile solution for intravesical instillation of valrubicin, is placed directly into the bladder through a catheter and is administered once a week for six weeks under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of intravesical cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
