WHAT BORTEZOMIB MEDAC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Bortezomib medac contains the active substance bortezomib, a so-called
‘proteasome inhibitor’.
Proteasomes play an important role in controlling cell function and
growth. By interfering with their
function, bortezomib can kill cancer cells.
Bortezomib medac is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma (a
cancer of the bone marrow) in
patients older than 18 years:
•
alone or together with the medicines pegylated liposomal doxorubicin
or dexamethasone, for
patients whose disease is worsening (progressive) after receiving at
least one prior treatment and
for whom blood stem cell transplantation was not successful or is
unsuitable.
•
in combination with the medicines melphalan and prednisone, for
patients whose disease has
not been previously treated and are unsuitable for high-dose
chemotherapy with blood stem cell
transplantation.
•
in combination with the medicines dexamethasone or dexamethasone
together with thalidomide,
for patients whose disease has not been previously treated and before
receiving high-dose
chemotherapy with blood stem cell transplantation (induction
treatment).
