What is NINLARO?

What is NINLARO used for?
NINLARO is an anticancer agent and is used to treat multiple myeloma in people whose cancer came back after receiving anticancer treatments.
How does NINLARO work?
NINLARO is a type of targeted therapy known as a proteasome inhibitor. It works by blocking a group of proteins, called proteasomes, inside cancer cells. Typically, proteasomes help cells break down proteins that they no longer need. When NINLARO blocks proteasomes from working, cell waste builds up, which causes cancer cells to die.
How do I take NINLARO?
NINLARO is typically taken along with lenalidomide (Revlimid) and dexamethasone. The typical starting dose is to take 4 mg of NINLARO by mouth once a week during the first 3 weeks (on days 1, 8, and 15) of a 4-week treatment cycle. Your dose of NINLARO might be different if you’re taking other medications that might interact with NINLARO, or have liver or kidney problems.
Is it safe for me to take NINLARO?
NINLARO is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.

Is NINLARO safe in pregnancy?
NINLARO can harm your unborn baby. For females, avoid becoming pregnant during treatment with NINLARO. Your healthcare provider will do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with NINLARO. You should use effective non-hormonal birth control during treatment and for 90 days after your last dose of NINLARO. If using hormonal contraceptives (for example, birth control pills), you should also use an additional barrier method of contraception (for example, diaphragm or condom). Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with NINLARO. Males with female partners who are able to become should use effective birth control during treatment and for 90 days after your last dose of NINLARO. Tell your healthcare provider right away if your partner becomes pregnant or thinks she may be pregnant while you are being treated with NINLARO.
