WHAT EVOLTRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Evoltra contains the active substance clofarabine. Clofarabine is one
of a family of medicines called
anticancer medicines. It works by hindering the growth of abnormal
white blood cells, and eventually
kills them. It works best against cells which are multiplying quickly
– such as cancer cells.
Evoltra is used to treat children (≥ 1 year old), teenagers and
young adults up to 21 years old with
acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) when previous treatments have not
worked or have stopped
working. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is caused by abnormal growth of
some types of white blood
cells.
