WHAT ZYDELIG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Zydelig is a cancer medicine that contains the active substance
idelalisib. It works by blocking the
effects of an enzyme involved in multiplication and survival of
certain white blood cells called
lymphocytes. Because this enzyme is overactivated in certain cancerous
white blood cells, by blocking
it, Zydelig will kill and reduce the number of cancer cells.
Zydelig may be used for the treatment of two different cancers in
adults:
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKAEMIA
_Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia_
(CLL) is a cancer of a type of white blood cell called B-lymphocytes.
In this disease, the lymphocytes multiply too quickly and live for too
long, so that there are too many
of them circulating in the blood.
In CLL Zydelig treatment is used in combination with another medicine
(rituximab) in patients who
have certain high-risk factors or in patients whose cancer has come
back after at least one previous
treatment.
FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA
_Follicular lymphoma_
(FL) is a cancer of a type of white blood cell called B-lymphocytes.
In follicular
lymphoma, the B-lymphocytes multiply too quickly and live for too
long, so there are too many of
