WHAT CIAMBRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
CIAMBRA is a medicine used in the treatment of cancer.
CIAMBRA is given in combination with cisplatin, another anti-cancer
medicine, as treatment for
malignant pleural mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the
lining of the lung, to patients who
have not received prior chemotherapy.
CIAMBRA is also given in combination with cisplatin for the initial
treatment of patients with
advanced stage of lung cancer.
CIAMBRA can be prescribed to you if you have lung cancer at an
advanced stage if your disease has
responded to treatment or it remains largely unchanged after initial
chemotherapy.
CIAMBRA is also a treatment for patients with advanced stage of lung
cancer whose disease has
progressed after other initial chemotherapy has been used.
