WHAT ADCETRIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Adcetris contains the active substance
BRENTUXIMAB VEDOTIN
, an anti-cancer agent, which is made up
of a monoclonal antibody linked to a substance intended to kill cancer
cells. This substance is
delivered to cancer cells by the monoclonal antibody. A monoclonal
antibody is a protein which
recognises certain cancer cells.
Hodgkin lymphoma, systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma and
cutaneous T-cell lymphoma are
types of cancer of the white blood cells.
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma expresses specific proteins on the cell
surface that are different from
non-classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
Adcetris is used to treat patients with advanced classical Hodgkin
lymphoma who have not had
treatment before. Adcetris will be given to you together with
doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine
which are other chemotherapy medicines used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma.
Adcetris is used alone to lower the likelihood of classical Hodgkin
lymphoma coming back after an
autologous stem cell transplant in patients with certain risk factors.
Adcetris is also used alone to treat classical Hodgkin lymphoma that
has:
-
come back after or not responded to an infusion of your own healthy
stem cells into your body
(autologous stem cell transplant), or
-
