Belrapzo is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It may also be used for other malignancies as determined by an oncologist.
Belrapzo contains bendamustine, an alkylating agent that causes DNA cross-linking in cancer cells. This damage disrupts DNA replication and transcription, leading to apoptosis (programmed cell death) of malignant cells.
Belrapzo is administered intravenously by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Common side effects include myelosuppression (low blood cell counts), nausea, fatigue, and infusion reactions. Patients require regular blood monitoring during treatment. This is a potent chemotherapy agent and should only be used under strict medical supervision.
