About

KABIDARBA is an antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of various cancers. Its mechanism of action typically involves interfering with cellular processes essential for cancer cell growth and division, such as DNA synthesis or microtubule function. By disrupting these critical pathways, the medication aims to inhibit the proliferation of malignant cells, leading to tumor regression or control of disease progression.

This class of drugs often targets rapidly dividing cells, which includes cancer cells but can also affect healthy fast-growing cells, leading to characteristic side effects. Administration is usually intravenous, requiring careful monitoring by oncology specialists to manage potential toxicities and optimize therapeutic outcomes.
