Overview

Celdoxome pegylated liposomal is a medicine used to treat the following types of cancer in adults:

  • metastatic breast cancer in patients at risk of heart problems. ‘Metastatic’ means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Celdoxome pegylated liposomal is used on its own for this disease;
  • advanced ovarian cancer in women whose previous treatment including a platinum-based cancer medicine has stopped working;
  • Kaposi’s sarcoma in patients with AIDS who have very damaged immune system. Kaposi’s sarcoma is a cancer that causes abnormal tissue to grow under the skin, on moist body surfaces or on internal organs;
  • multiple myeloma (a cancer of the cells in the bone marrow), in patients with progressive disease who have received at least one previous treatment and have already had a bone marrow transplantation or are unsuitable for it. Celdoxome pegylated liposomal is used in combination with bortezomib (another cancer medicine).

Celdoxome pegylated liposomal contains the active substance doxorubicin.

Celdoxome pegylated liposomal is a ‘hybrid medicine’. This means that it is similar to a ‘reference medicine’ containing the same active substance, but in Celdoxome pegylated liposomal the active substance is enclosed in ‘pegylated liposomes’ (tiny fat particles coated with a substance called polyethylene glycol) while this is not the case for the reference medicine. The reference medicine for Celdoxome pegylated liposomal is Adriamycin.
