st: find and replace strings in a variable

Dear Statalisters,
I have a variable called v1 that has different strings.
One of the possible values for v1 comes with different spellings:
"International: [4]", "International_[2,3]"
They all have "International", however, and no other value has that string.
I'd like to replace all those different spellings with just "International".
Thanks for your time,
MEC
