WHAT EMPLICITI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Empliciti contains the active substance elotuzumab, which is a
monoclonal antibody, a type of protein
designed to recognise and attach to a specific target substance in the
body. Elotuzumab attaches to a
target protein called SLAMF7. SLAMF7 is found in large amounts on the
surface of multiple
myeloma cells and on certain cells of your immune system (natural
killer cells). When elotuzumab
binds to SLAMF7 on the multiple myeloma or natural killer cells, it
stimulates your immune system to
attack and destroy the multiple myeloma cells.
Empliciti is used to treat multiple myeloma (a cancer of the bone
marrow) in adults. Empliciti will be
given to you together with lenalidomide and dexamethasone or together
with pomalidomide and
dexamethasone. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of a type of white blood
cell called plasma cells. These
cells divide out of control and collect in the bone marrow. This
results in damage to the bones and
kidneys.
Empliciti is used if your cancer has not responded to, or has come
back after certain treatments.
