WHAT ODOMZO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ODOMZO IS
Odomzo contains the active substance sonidegib. It is an anti-cancer
medicine.
WHAT ODOMZO IS USED FOR
Odomzo is used to treat adults with a type of skin cancer called basal
cell carcinoma. It is used when the
cancer has spread locally and cannot be treated with surgery or
radiation.
HOW ODOMZO WORKS
The normal growth of cells is controlled by various chemical signals.
In patients with basal cell carcinoma,
changes occur to genes controlling a part of this process known as the
“hedgehog pathway”. This switches on
signals that make the cancer cells grow out of control. Odomzo works
by blocking this process, stopping
cancer cells from growing and making new cells.
