WHAT ONIVYDE PEGYLATED LIPOSOMAL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ONIVYDE PEGYLATED LIPOSOMAL IS AND HOW IT WORKS
ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal is a cancer medicine that contains the
active substance irinotecan.
This active substance is held in tiny lipid (fatty) particles called
liposomes.
Irinotecan belongs to a group of cancer medicines called
‘topoisomerase inhibitors’. It blocks an
enzyme called topoisomerase I, which is involved in the division of
cell DNA. This prevents the
cancer cells from multiplying and growing, and they eventually die.
The liposomes are expected to accumulate within the tumour and release
the medicine slowly over
time, thereby allowing it to act for longer.
WHAT ONIVYDE PEGYLATED LIPOSOMAL IS USED FOR
ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal is used to treat adult patients with
metastatic pancreatic cancer
(cancer of the pancreas that has already spread elsewhere in the body)
whose previously cancer
treatment included a medicine called gemcitabine. ONIVYDE pegylated
liposomal is used in
combination with other cancer medicines, called 5-fluorouracil and
leucovorin.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal must only be prescribed and administered
to patients by healthcare
professionals experienced in the use of anti-cancer therapies.
ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal is not equivalent to non-liposomal
irinotecan formulations and should
not be interchanged.
Posology
ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal, leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil should be
administered sequentially.
The recommended dose and regimen of ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal is 70
mg/m
2
intravenously
over 90 minutes, followed by LV 400 mg/m
2
intravenously over 30 minutes, followed
by 5-FU 2,400 mg/m
2
intravenously over 46 hours, administered every 2 weeks. ONIVYDE
pegylated
liposomal should not be administered as a single agent.
A reduced starting dose of ONIVYDE pegylated liposomal of 50 mg/m

should be considered for
patients known to be homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele (see sections
4.8 and 5.1). A dose
