Ninlaro is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. It is used in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone.
Ninlaro is a proteasome inhibitor that works by reversibly blocking the proteasome, a cellular complex that breaks down proteins. This disruption causes proteins to accumulate in cancer cells, leading to cell death and slowing tumor growth.
Ninlaro is taken orally once weekly on specific days of a 28-day cycle. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, and low blood cell counts. It may cause liver problems and should be used with caution in patients with liver impairment. Treatment should be supervised by an oncologist.
