How it works:
Idelalisib specifically inhibits the delta isoform of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K δ), critical in B-cell signalling. This leads to apoptosis and reduced proliferation of cancerous cells. IDEENAT is well-tolerated and offers an oral option for patients who are refractory or intolerant to conventional chemotherapy.
Recommended for:
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), including treatment-resistant forms
Follicular lymphoma after at least two prior therapies
Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL)
Patients unsuitable for cytotoxic chemotherapy
Individuals requiring long-term oral cancer therapy
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)
Follicular lymphoma (FL)
Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL)
IDEENAT 150mg should be taken orally once or twice daily as directed by a specialist. Swallow the tablet whole with water, regardless of meals. Continuous monitoring is essential throughout the course of treatment to assess liver function, blood counts, and adverse effects.
