WHAT ICLUSIG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Iclusig is
USED TO TREAT
adults with the following
LEUKAEMIA
types who are no longer benefiting from
treatment with other medicines, or have a certain genetic difference
known as a T315I mutation:
•
chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML): a blood cancer involving too many
abnormal white blood
cells in the blood and the bone marrow (where blood cells are formed).
•
Philadelphia-chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph+
ALL): a type of
leukaemia involving too many immature white blood cells in the blood
and blood forming bone
marrow. In this kind of leukaemia, some of the DNA (genetic material)
has become rearranged
to form an abnormal chromosome, the Philadelphia chromosome.
Iclusig belongs to a group of medicines called tyrosine kinase
inhibitors. In patients with CML and
Ph+ ALL, changes in the DNA trigger a signal that tells the body to
produce abnormal white blood
cells. Iclusig blocks this signal, thereby stopping the production of
these cells.
