WHAT BORTEZOMIB FRESENIUS KABI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine contains the active substance bortezomib, a so-called
‘proteasome inhibitor’.
Proteasomes play an important role in controlling cell function and
growth. By interfering with
their function, bortezomib can kill cancer cells.
Bortezomib is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma (a cancer of
the bone marrow) in patients
older than 18 years:
-
alone or together with the medicines pegylated liposomal doxorubicin
or dexamethasone, for
patients whose disease is worsening (progressive) after receiving at
least one prior treatment
and for whom blood stem cell transplantation was not successful or is
unsuitable.
-
in combination with the medicines melphalan and prednisone, for
patients whose disease has
not been previously treated and are unsuitable for high-dose
chemotherapy with blood stem
cell transplantation.
-
in combination with the medicines dexamethasone or dexamethasone
together with
thalidomide, for patients whose disease has not been previously
treated and before receiving
high-dose chemotherapy with blood stem cell transplantation (induction
treatment).
Bortezomib is used for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (
