WHAT BORTEZOMIB SUN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Bortezomib SUN 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 SUN 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).
-
MANTLE CELL LYMPHOMA
(a type of cancer affecting the lymph nodes) in patients 18 years or
older in combination
