Overview

Pepaxti is a medicine used to treat adults with multiple myeloma (a cancer of the bone marrow) when the cancer has not responded to previous treatments (refractory).

It is used in combination with dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory medicine) in adults who have received at least three prior therapies, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti‑CD38 antibody, and whose disease has worsened since the last treatment.

For patients who have had an autologous stem cell transplantation (a procedure where the patient’s bone marrow is cleared of cells and replaced by stem cells from the patients themselves), Pepaxti can be used if the time from transplantation to when the cancer comes back is at least three years.

Multiple myeloma is rare, and Pepaxti was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 19 March 2015. Further information on the orphan designation can be found here: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/orphan-designations/eu-3-15-1463

Pepaxti contains the active substance melphalan flufenamide.
