1.
WHAT IASIBON IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Iasibon contains the active substance ibandronic acid. This belongs to
a group of medicines called
bisphosphonates.
Iasibon is used in adults and prescribed to you if you have breast
cancer that has spread to your bones
(called ‘bone metastases’).
•
It helps to prevent your bones from breaking (fractures)
•
It helps to prevent other bone problems that may need surgery or
radiotherapy
Iasibon can also be prescribed if you have a raised calcium level in
your blood due to a tumour.
Iasibon works by reducing the amount of calcium that is lost from your
bones. This helps to stop your
bones from getting weaker.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Iasibon is indicated in adults for
-
Prevention of skeletal events (pathological fractures, bone
complications requiring radiotherapy
or surgery) in patients with breast cancer and bone metastases
-
Treatment of tumour-induced hypercalcaemia with or without metastases
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Iasibon therapy should only be initiated by physicians experienced in
the treatment of cancer.
Posology
_Prevention of skeletal events in patients with breast cancer and bone
metastases_
The recommended dose for prevention of skeletal events in patients
with breast cancer and bone
metastases is 6 mg intravenous injection given every 3-4 weeks. The
dose should be infused over at
least 15 minutes.
A shorter (i.e. 15 min) infusion time should only be used for patients
with normal renal function or mild
renal impairment. There are no data available characterising the use
of a shorter infusion time in
patients with creatinine clearance below 50 mL/min. Prescribers should
consult the section
_Patients with _
_Renal Impairment _
(see section 4.2) for recommendations on dosing and administration in
this patient
group.
_Treatment of tumour-induced hypercalcaemia_
Prior to treatment with Iasibon the patient should be adequately
rehydrated with 9 mg/mL (0.9%)
sodium chloride solution. Consideration should be given to the
severity of the hypercalcaemia as well as
the tumour type. In general patients with osteolytic bone metastases
require lower doses than patients
with the humoral type of hypercalcaemia. In most patients with severe
hypercalcaemia
