Table of contents
Overview
Zydelig is a cancer medicine that is used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL, a cancer of a type of white blood cells called B lymphocytes) and follicular lymphoma (another cancer that affects B lymphocytes).
In CLL, Zydelig is used in combination with another medicine (rituximab or ofatumumab) in patients who have received at least one previous treatment and in patients whose cancer cells have genetic mutations (changes) called 17p deletion or TP53 mutation and who cannot be treated with any other therapy.
In follicular lymphoma, Zydelig is used on its own in patients whose disease has not improved with two previous treatments.
Zydelig contains the active substance idelalisib.
