WHAT KYPROLIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Kyprolis is a medicine that contains the active substance carfilzomib.
Carfilzomib works by blocking the proteasome. The proteasome is a
system within the cells that
breaks down proteins when they are damaged or no longer needed. By
preventing the breakdown of
proteins in cancer cells, which are more likely to contain more
abnormal proteins, Kyprolis causes the
death of cancer cells.
Kyprolis is used to treat adult patients with multiple myeloma who
have had at least one previous
treatment for this disease. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma
cells (a type of white blood cell).
Kyprolis will be given to you together with daratumumab and
dexamethasone, with lenalidomide and
dexamethasone, or only with dexamethasone. Daratumumab, lenalidomide
and dexamethasone are
other medicines used to treat multiple myeloma.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE KYPROLIS
_ _
Your doctor will examine you and review your full medical history. You
will be monitored closely
during treatment. Before starting Kyprolis, and during treatment, you
will undergo blood testing. This
is to check that you have enough blood cells and your liver and
kidneys are working
