WHAT ZEVALIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine is a radiopharmaceutical product for therapy only.
Zevalin is a kit for the preparation of the active substance
ibritumomab tiuxetan [
90
Y], a monoclonal
antibody labelled with the radioactive substance yttrium-90 (
90
Y). Zevalin attaches to a protein
(CD20) on the surface of certain white blood cells (B-cells) and kills
them by irradiation.
Zevalin is used to treat patients suffering from specific subgroups of
B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
(CD20+ indolent or transformed B-cell NHL) if an earlier rituximab,
another monoclonal antibody,
treatment has not worked, or has stopped working (refractory or
relapsed disease).
Zevalin is also used in previously untreated patients with follicular
lymphoma. It is used as a
CONSOLIDATION
therapy to improve the reduction in the number of lymphoma cells
(remission)
achieved with the initial chemotherapy regimen.
The use of Zevalin does involve exposure to small amounts of
radioactivity. Your doctor and the
nuclear medicine doctor have considered that the clinical benefit that
you will obtain from the
procedure with the radiopharmaceutical outweighs the risk due to
radiation.
