1.
WHAT ARZERRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Arzerra contains ofatumumab, which belongs to a group of medicines
called monoclonal antibodies.
ARZERRA IS USED TO TREAT CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKAEMIA
(CLL). CLL is a cancer of the blood which
affects a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. The lymphocytes
multiply too quickly and live
too long, so there are too many of them circulating in your blood. The
disease can also affect other
organs in your body. The antibody in Arzerra recognises a substance on
the surface of lymphocytes
and causes the lymphocyte to die.
