WHAT GAZYVARO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT GAZYVARO IS
Gazyvaro contains the active substance obinutuzumab, which belongs to

to specific targets in your body.
WHAT GAZYVARO IS USED FOR
Gazyvaro can be used in adults to treat two different types of cancer
•
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKAEMIA
(also called “CLL”)
-
Gazyvaro is used in patients who have not had any treatment for CLL
before and who
have other illnesses which make it unlikely that they would be able to
tolerate a full dose
of a different medicine used to treat CLL called fludarabine.
-
Gazyvaro is used together with another medicine for cancer called
chlorambucil.
•
FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA
(also called “FL”)
-
Gazyvaro is used in patients who have not had any treatment for FL
-
Gazyvaro is used in patients who have had at least one treatment with
a medicine called
rituximab before and whose FL has come back or got worse during or
after this treatment.
-
At the start of treatment for FL, Gazyvaro is used together with other
medicines for
cancer.
-
Gazyvaro can then be used on its own for up to 2 years as a
“maintenance treatment”.
