Overview

Onivyde pegylated liposomal is a cancer medicine that is used to treat a form of pancreatic cancer called metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Metastatic means that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Onivyde pegylated liposomal is used together with fluorouracil and leucovorin (also called folinate) (other medicines used for cancer) in adults whose cancer has got worse despite treatment containing the cancer medicine gemcitabine.

Onivyde pegylated liposomal contains the active substance irinotecan.

Pancreatic cancer is rare, and Onivyde pegylated liposomal was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 9 December 2011. Further information on the orphan designation can be found here: ema.europa.eu/medicines/human/orphan-designations/eu311933.
