WHAT NINLARO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT NINLARO IS
NINLARO is a cancer medicine that contains ixazomib, a ‘proteasome
inhibitor’.
NINLARO is used to treat a cancer of the bone marrow called multiple
myeloma. Its active substance
ixazomib works by blocking the action of proteasomes. These are
structures inside the cell that digest
proteins and are important for cell survival. Because myeloma cells
produce a lot of proteins, blocking
the action of proteasomes can kill the cancerous cells.
WHAT NINLARO IS USED FOR
NINLARO is used to treat adults with multiple myeloma. NINLARO will be
given to you together
with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, which are other medicines used to
treat multiple myeloma.
WHAT MULTIPLE MYELOMA IS
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the blood which affects a type of
cell, called the plasma cell. A
plasma cell is a blood cell that normally produces proteins to fight
infections. People with multiple
myeloma have cancerous plasma cells, also called myeloma cells, which
can damage the bones.
Protein produced by myeloma cells can damage the kidneys. Tr
