1. What is Bortezomib Zentiva and what is it used for

Bortezomib Zentiva contains the active substance bortezomib, which is a so-called "proteasome inhibitor". Proteasomes play a crucial role in controlling cell function and development. By disrupting their function, bortezomib can lead to the death of cancer cells.
Bortezomib Zentiva is used to treat multiple myeloma (a type of bone marrow cancer) in patients aged 18 years and over:

  • as a single medicine or in combination with other medicines: pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or dexamethasone in patients whose disease has progressed after at least one previous treatment and in whom hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was not successful or not possible;
  • in combination with melphalan and prednisone in patients who have not been previously treated and do not qualify for high-dose chemotherapy with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • in combination with dexamethasone or dexamethasone with thalidomide in patients who have not been previously treated and qualify for high-dose chemotherapy with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (induction therapy).

Bortezomib Zentiva is used to treat mantle cell lymphoma (a type of cancer that affects the lymph nodes) in patients aged 18 years and over in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone, in patients who have not been previously treated and do not qualify for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

2. Important information before using Bortezomib Zentiva

When not to use Bortezomib Zentiva

  • if the patient is allergic to bortezomib, boron, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if the patient has severe lung or heart disease.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Bortezomib Zentiva, discuss with your doctor if you:

  • have a low number of red or white blood cells;
  • have bleeding disorders and (or) a low platelet count;
  • experience diarrhea, constipation, nausea, or vomiting;
  • have a history of fainting, dizziness, and lightheadedness;
  • have kidney disease;
  • have moderate to severe liver function disorders;
  • have a history of numbness, tingling, and pain in hands and feet (symptoms of neuropathy);
  • have heart disease or blood pressure problems;
  • have shortness of breath or cough;

The patient must undergo regular blood tests before and during treatment with Bortezomib Zentiva to regularly check the blood cell count.
If the patient has mantle cell lymphoma and is receiving Bortezomib Zentiva with a medicine containing rituximab, tell your doctor:

  • if you suspect you have a hepatitis B virus infection or have had it in the past. In a few cases, patients who had hepatitis B infection may have had recurring episodes of hepatitis, which could be fatal. If you have a history of hepatitis B, your doctor will closely monitor you for signs of active hepatitis B.

Before starting treatment with Bortezomib Zentiva, read the package leaflets of all medicinal products you are taking during treatment to obtain information about them.

Your doctor will adjust the appropriate dose of Bortezomib Zentiva based on the patient's height and weight (body surface area). The most commonly used initial dose of Bortezomib Zentiva is 1.3 mg/m2 body surface area, administered twice a week.
Your doctor may change the dose and total number of treatment cycles based on the patient's response to treatment, the occurrence of side effects, and additional diseases (e.g., liver disease).
Relapsed multiple myeloma
If Bortezomib Zentiva is administered as a single medicine, the patient will receive 4 doses of Bortezomib Zentiva intravenously on days 1, 4, 8, and 11, followed by a 10-day rest period.
The described 21-day period (3 weeks) is considered one treatment cycle. The patient will receive up to 8 cycles (24 weeks).
The patient may also receive Bortezomib Zentiva in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or dexamethasone.
When Bortezomib Zentiva is administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, the patient will receive Bortezomib Zentiva intravenously during the 21-day treatment cycle, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin will be administered at a dose of 30 mg/m2 in an intravenous infusion after Bortezomib Zentiva injection on day 4 of the 21-day cycle.
The patient may receive up to 8 cycles (24 weeks).
When Bortezomib Zentiva is administered in combination with dexamethasone, the patient will receive Bortezomib Zentiva intravenously during the 21-day treatment cycle, and dexamethasone will be administered orally at a dose of 20 mg on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 of the Bortezomib Zentiva treatment cycle lasting 21 days. The patient may receive up to 8 cycles (24 weeks).
Previously untreated multiple myeloma
If the patient has not been previously treated for multiple myeloma and does notqualify for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, they will receive Bortezomib Zentiva in combination with melphalan and prednisone.

If the patient has not been previously treated for multiple myeloma and qualifiesfor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, they will receive Bortezomib Zentiva intravenously in combination with dexamethasone or dexamethasone with thalidomide as induction therapy.
When Bortezomib Zentiva is administered with dexamethasone, the patient will receive Bortezomib Zentiva intravenously during the 21-day cycle, and dexamethasone will be administered orally at a dose of 40 mg on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11 of the 21-day Bortezomib Zentiva treatment cycle. The patient may receive up to 4 cycles (12 weeks).
