What MYLOTARG is and what it is used for
MYLOTARG contains the active substance gemtuzumab ozogamicin, an
anticancer medicine, 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.
MYLOTARG is used to treat a certain type of blood cancer called acute
myeloid leukaemia (AML) in which
the bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells. MYLOTARG is intended
for the treatment of AML for
patients aged 15 years and above who have not tried other treatments.
MYLOTARG is not for use in patients
with a type of cancer called acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL).
