What MYLOTARG is and what it is used for
MYLOTARG contains the active substance gemtuzumab ozogamicin, an
anticancer medicine, which is
made up of a monoclonal antibody linked to a substance intended to

certain cancer cells.

myeloid leukaemia (AML) in which
the bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells. MYLOTARG is intended

patients aged 15 years and above who have not tried other treatments.
MYLOTARG is not for use in patients
with a type of cancer called acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL).
