WHAT ZEJULA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ZEJULA IS AND HOW IT WORKS
Zejula contains the active substance niraparib. Niraparib is a type of
anti-cancer medicine called a
PARP inhibitor. PARP inhibitors block an enzyme called poly [adenosine
diphosphate-ribose]
polymerase (PARP). PARP helps cells repair damaged DNA so blocking it
means that the DNA of
cancer cells cannot be repaired. This results in tumour cell death,
helping to control the cancer.
WHAT ZEJULA IS USED FOR
Zejula is used in adult women for the treatment of cancer of the
ovary, the fallopian tubes (part of the
female reproductive system that connects the ovaries to the uterus),
or the peritoneum (the membrane
lining the abdomen).
Zejula is used for cancer that has:
•
responded to the first treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, or
•
come back (recurred) after the cancer has responded to previous
treatment with standard
platinum-based chemotherapy.

DO NOT TAKE ZEJULA
•
if you are allergic to niraparib or any of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in
section 6).
